Newbie - Post-op

[just1275 4]

Hi Guys,

I had RNY bypass conversion from a non-functioning band on the 27th March and so just starting week two of my fluids diet and getting a bit fed up with Soups and milkshakes but have learnt that if I let my fluids drop too much I have problems.

Have one wound that's not healing too well, but saw the walk-in centre nurse yesterday who cleaned it and gave me new dressings and I'll see the practice nurse tomorrow hopefully.

Otherwise doing okay, have been out a few times, get tired quickly but working on building up my daily step count and once I'm below 150kg I can start using my WiiFit again which I'm looking forward to.

Have a good group of friends around me and have an online counsellor through Talkspace.com which has helped a lot as well.

Anyway would be good to connect with others online.

Best wishes

Justin

sounds very familiar. I had RNY, gall bladder removal and adhesion repair on March 23rd. I too have one incision that developed an abscess and had to be opened back up last week. I go tomorrow and see the doctor for it, hoping they close it finally. I am not on liquid phase anymore, I was moved to soft Protein phase and given 80cc fluids and 80gm protein goal a day. So far I have made it with 80 and above Fluid but fell shy into 70s on protein a few times. I agree tiring easily but I am itching for them to let me go back to treadmill and working out.
