Here's my latest video! So thankful for this awesome community!

Well I am going into post op day three (surgery was Monday) and things have been getting better, Monday they had me on dilaudid for my Pca and it seemed to make things way worse so I stopped taking it Monday night and went without pain meds for about 6-8 hours until my swallow study came back okay. Since being on oral pain meds things have been good, I got to go home yesterday afternoon the only pain now is the open incision on my abdomen that is packed with gauze. I have been having loose stool and am wondering if anyone else experienced this as well.

OK guys - need some MAJOR support! I am now 3 weeks post op and I have only lost 10lbs! Lost those in first few days but since then the scale has not moved!!!!! Please tell me others are having same issue! WTF am I doing wrong? Fact is I am not eating but maybe a total of 1 to 1-1/2 cups of food (if that's what you want to call it) a day. I have not had good luck getting in the protein. My counter looks like a GNC store with all the different protein powders I have bought - but NOTHING tastes good enough to allow me to drink the whole damn thing. I get in a few sips and I want to vomit! I am eating oatmeal for breakfast and have had pureed something for lunch - today its bruinswick stew. For dinner I eat the remainder of the can if I can get that much down. WHY the hell isn't the scale moving!!!! Did I really do this to myself and spend 30K just to lose 10lbs, be nauseous all the time, tired all the time, and regurgitate daily???

I spend 4 days in the hospital but it could of been 3. The surgery went well but the pain was extreme during the recovery phase. All-in-all I'd do it again to get what I expect from this RNY procedure. I hope everyone else's surgery went will and best wishes for all.
