Hey all! I looked around and couldn't find anything for June surgeries. I don't have my exact date yet, but it will be the 1st or 2nd week of June!! Sooo excited!! I had my lap band out on April 18th and they were supposed to do the bypass, but they weren't able to due to scar tissue. I saw my surgeon today and all should be a go for June! Yay!!!! RNY here I come!!!

I'm home from the hospital. I'm doing extremely well.

I feel like I'm constantly feeding - or more like watering - my pouch. Like non stop between tea, water, shakes, broth, Popsicles....I almost feel like I'm putting in too much but I'm only managing like 40-50g of protein and 70ish oz fluid. I feel like I have time to do nothing but drink drink drink.

I know exactly what you're saying. It's crazy! I'm concerned about when I go back to work on Monday. I wonder how I'm going to get all of this fluid in while working. Lol

I'm planning on going back Tuesday and I feel like I'm going to need to take a stadium cooler with me! lol

How long did you take off from work? I can't imagine going back in a week. I am 41 tho and can tell this surgery was harder for me than ones I had in my 20s or 30s.

For me it will be just under 2 weeks. I couldn't have gone back in a week either. I was too sore and still had a drain in. I'm more than ready now though. If I didn't have an interview first thing Monday morning, I would have taken the full two weeks.

I had initially planned on a week but then realized I was in no shape to go back. So, it'll be 12 days post op for me. Today I'm 9 days and finally feeling like myself but just in slow motion.

Day 14 Of Liquid Diet. I'm So Tired And Drained. Is Thus Normal?

Unfortunately yes... I was absolutely drainnnned. I'm pretty crazy about showering and looking well kept, even if I'm just going to stay home, but I think I went like 2 days without showering at one point. All I did was sleep. Think of this this way. Your gas tank isn't getting the fuel it's used to anymore, so the car doesn't want to run.

Thanks For Putting It That Way! Makes Me Feel Emotionally Better. =)

Awe... You can do this! I'm in the midst of my liquid stage right now and want any and every food I see! Lol I just keep having to tell myself that #1. It WILL be worth it! And #2. It's only temporary. I will be able to have real food again. In the mean time, I've been researching how to make healthy eating "second nature". I've always wondered how people in the healthy living blogs I read just simply eat healthfully. My mind doesn't think like that, so I've been trying to find out how to "rewire" things a but upstairs to help me out. Like memorizing healthy recipes and snacks.

@Imworthit. My doctor told me if my drain was any color than clear, red or pink to contact him ASAP.

Really? Ok good to know. I will call. I keep having a lot of green gunk come out. But it is the drain to my old stomach not my new pouch.

They said it could be a gastric leak. When you are taking in your liquids do you see any of it going into your drain?

Hi all' date=' I think I overdosed on broth today, lol I feel super full and stuck, Im waiting patiently for it to move, I can't even swallow water..after it moves, I will only sip my water, it's been a few hours, I hope I don't have to wait to much longer.[/quote']

Ok, starting to feel a lil better, I guess it will take my body 24 hours to come back around, I was feeling so bad, I was crying, feeling pitiful, although I don't have the support from my family like I thought I would have, mainly my husband, I'm still strong and I will get through this because I got someone more meaningful, that will hold my hand, listen to me, that will ease my pain and heal my heart and that is my Heavenly Father, I thank God for His Grace and Mercy... I hope everyone is having a great weekend.
