I had my RNY and a section of my small intestine cut out and repaired because it was dying last Wednesday. I read all the threads where people are having all these issues and I haven't had anything go wrong. I had no gas pain, I can get all my fluids in and then some. I can even take a normal size drink instead of a sip, I caught myself doing it a second ago. I am not sore or nauseous. Haven't had to take one pain or nausea pill since leaving the hospital. I even cleaned my house on my second day home from the hospital. I have so much energy I can't sit still. I have lost 10 pounds. Is this normal or am I just lucky?

first off, id say thats awesome! congrats! Everyone is definitely different. Sorry to hear about the "dead" intestine. Glad you're ok. Cheers to a speedy, active recovery!

I am one week out from surgery and lost 15.8 lbs in the first week. I am still pretty sore especially where they had the drain tube. Activity at one week out is still minimal. Has anyone else experienced pain from the drain?? Get depressed I just want to feel better!
