MustangSteve has "removed" 29 pounds since the 11th-hoody hoo!

You go dude eliminate irradicate decimate those pounds.

I am doing great RNY wise. My si joint issue is also a bit better today. However I do get extremely anxious about it and when it does happen I totally freak. If not for that I would be a star pupil I have been walking, took my " leak" test passed with flying colors : and actually walked the whole half hour waiting for the contrast to pass through before the second X-ray Got back to my room took a good nap. My doc came in and said he was giving me tordol an NSAID I questioned him but he said it was fine. I am thrilled it should help the hip joint issue a lot. In fact even before the tordol I fit up with the physical therapist with no pain to the area just some burning in the stomach incision area but bareable. Walked around the unit then voided again. Wiping is a bit hard but doable. Ok got to get up now will post later. Good luck surgery sistas !

Yay! I should get to go home today. Have you been able to pee' date=' yet? I'm still waiting. I'm about to ask for a catheter for the second time. I hate having to pee so bad and not being able. Otherwise my pain is not as bad as I thought either. Congratulations to you![/quote']

I was able to pee about 5 hours after my catheter came out. You are right that is an awful feeling!

So I am at home for a few hours. Still lots of gas. I guess I wasn't thinking about how I would have to get to know my new tummy. So gurgley and strange. My doc has me on : 4-6 oz Protein shake/supplement for Breakfast, lunch and dinner, then a few oz of Jello, or broth as a snack in between.

I'm home!!!

Tuesday morning we had some construction and car accidents that we had to get through but we go to the hospital a little late but safe. Surgery went perfect. I was in recovery for about an hour. Went to my room and finally got to see my husband. We walked and spent some time together and then he went home to the kids. I tried to sleep but couldn't so I walked, would doze in and out. The nurses were shocked that I was walking so much, in some pain but managed it with meds and wanted to get out of the hospital so of course I wanted them to know I was able to be released.

I had my x-ray to make sure my lap band had no leakage. The drinks they made me sip...NASTY! But lap band is working perfectly! My husband and 2 of our girls came to pick me up but I had to wait to drink my lunch and made sure everything stayed down. Now i'm home and am happy to be able to sleep in my own bed.

Oh I forgot to mention with working out and the liquid diet I lost 14 pounds!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
