Will be here tomorrow after 11:30am

Ahaaaaaa last night I ordered some fresh take out just to have some lemon cod, I enjoyed every bite.....yummmmm

So over cottage cheese and Greek yogurt makes me gag when I look at it....I needed some flavor in my food and because I'm in so much friggin pain from the muscle/nerve being cut and healing I don't feel much like cooking....I'm down 17 pounds from feb 6th. My hubby took me for an abdominal support band maybe it will help.....don't get me wrong I'm glad this is behind me and the band is gone. The severe pain is keeping me down I need and want to get back to work and my life I'm praying for a quicker relief from this godforsaken pain......ROCK ON FEB POST OPS

I am now post op!!! In a lot of pain. They found a hernia and I have six incisions. I'm very sore!!! My husband hasn't called me all day. That makes me sad.

I had a hernia too but the doc said it was small. I didn't get calls either in fact I didn't want them to call or visit. I sent them a text saying I was fine and need to rest, sleep, heal. Not to visit or call. I would text harm when I was home. I liked it

HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 235.8

Band to RNY on 2/19. Was in OR for 5 hours then has to go back to stop interval bleeding found by my dr while I was in recovery. Took 3 days post op to pass gas. No BM yet. Only clear liquid diet until 2 week post op dr visit. Taking 1/2 dose oxycodone. Any idea when I should have BM? I've been passing gas just fine and have been taking gas-x.

I had my first BM on discharge when I got home and not to scare you to much it was all old blood which scared me and my husband he called my surgeon and he said not uncommon and to monitor it. By third day I had normal BM.

They should tell everyone that there is a possibility of blood BM.

I missed this board! I had my surgery on February 7. I'm trucking along, doing well, except my energy sucks sometimes.

Wow THANK YOU for sharing that!!!!yes I would have been very freaked out especially with the second OR trip to stop internal bleeding I had!!! And yes they should tell everyone this is a common and no problem issue!!!!

Thanks again for telling me that!!!

Your welcome. Hopefully you won't have muscle or nerves cut if they did make sure you get some major pain killers to take home...I'm more than two weeks out and I still can't walk around our sleep in my bed due to severe pain....I'm praying it will

Go away before next weekend or at least allow me to sleep in my bed and not a recliner.

I can't wait to feel normal again....this pain is a nightmare and I am so glad that most on here don't have to deal with it. I am praying I can pass these kidney stones and don't have to go back to the ER........ Anyways, take care of yourself and get some rest.

Funny how fast the energy can just fizzle!!! But then I feel so good most of the time I forget I'm 2 weeks post-op! Glad you're doing so well!!!!

One more pound down, since I'm back at work I'm averaging 1 pound every 2 days. Woohoo! Still would love one of those 10 pound losses I keep hearing about! . So very blessed and lucky that other than my own stupidity kicking my butt I've been complication free to this point. All of you who are having problems are in my thoughts and prayers.

I think you are doing great! But I so get that wanting more loss.....It's hard to be patient, but at least this time it is permanent right. I'm so glad you are feeling so good, after such a rough hospital stay....you deserve it. Thank you for the prayers, that's what I need most
