Never to soon to start! I had mine on the 11th!?? Anyone else in June yet? And how's it going?

I'm definitely feeling something like hunger. My tummy growls a little even. It's more like an empty feeling. Anyone else?

I did a little reading about this topic this morning and found several things that talked about drinking and eating too close together. I am going to pay close attention to that and see if anything changes.

I had mine June 17th. I had a complication yesterday. The Jp drain hit a nerve and I could not breathe. The ER ruled out major things like blood clots and blockages' date=' gave me more pain meds and sent me on my way. My drain was scheduled to come out this Wednesday, but my Dr. called this morning and said come on in we are taking it out. I feel like a new woman. I also get to start soft/select food. Yippee!

Will you have to pack your drainage area where the jp tube was removed?

Drink water or fluids when you get that feeling, it happens to me to!

I am officially on the loosers bench! Surgery was this morning - everything is going great so far. I pray it continues...

Baconville, my recovery went very well with minimal pain. I hope yours goes as good as mine.

My RNY was 6/18/13, here in the Indianapolis area. Things have gone much better than expected. I don't think my pain level ever got over a 3-4. My abdomen is still tender and moving around still hurts, but it's improving. My surgeon also took out my gallbladder and repaired a hernia, so I'm not sure how that may have affected me. I did gain about 10 lbs. in IV fluids and that seems to be coming off. Getting the required fluids and protein is a challenge, but I'm doing reasonably well. Get to start puréed foods today!! I cheated a little and had a scrambled egg for dinner last night. It's on my puréed list, so it was only 12 hours early! It went down without problem. Hope to try cottage cheese today. I'm so excited to see where this journey takes me.

I had mine on the 3rd. I don't mind food. I'm trying to find something to drink besides protein drinks and milk. Water tastes blah...

I use the MIO drops and crystal light my doc told me to do them and they make the water taste amazinggggg !!!!

AshleyMichelle,

FYI. I have found that Vanilla protien powder, CVS sugarfee orange flavored fiber and a handful of frozen rasberries or blue berries. shredded and mixed in a blender is a flavorful drink. it has everything!
