The unpleasantries of RNY!



Recommended Posts

I thought it would be a good idea to have a place where we can ask questions or discuss the icky and oddball things that we may not want to bring up in other threads.

So have at it :)

I recently went to the airport and when in the TSA line, I was asked to put my belt through the x-ray machine. As I am down 70 lbs, and I am too frugal to buy new pants, when asked to hold my hands over my head, my pants dropped to my ankles. I was wearing colorful boxers thankfully. What's the most appropriate comment to make when your pants are around your ankles?

[Hope everyone is having a nice day]

Ok so today was my first day off the prescription Prilosec. Well the stupid grocery store did not label their Italian seasoned ground turkey 'spicey'...I took 3 bites and have spent most of the afternoon in the bathroom. I'm puking just saliva and gas. It's so weird, I've never thrown up a burp before! I ate the evilness at 1:30 and still sick. I wish this would go away :(

I called the doctors office to have them give me a refill since obviously my pouch isn't ready to be independent yet, but when I got to the pharmacy their power was out, so they probably haven't even gotten the fax :(

Funny I had watery diarrhea from the get go and that stopped only as few days ago (I am 10days post op) Had a pretty normal one today but nothing odd about it.

Ur story is too funny. It had to make u feel good that ur pants were too big tho!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
