I had mine Tuesday. Pain is managed by meds. Walking helps with the gas. I have a headache from no coffee lol. Glad this part is behind me.

Congratulations on your surgery rachel and Roalmc. Ice chips were heaven!!!! Have someone bring you some crystal light squirts and you can put a little on your ice!

I'm two days post op. No gas pain but two of my incisions are seriously painful. The largest one and the one over my belly button. Horrid bruising there as well but it actually burns when I try standing or sitting.

So today eating went ok. Not liking puréed meat. So I'm adding Protein to Greek you hurt. Crystal lite and broth taste good. Family eating as usual- that will take some time to be ok with. Hope all March peeps are doing well!!

Hello!!!! Just checking in! I had my rny 3-7 and I'm doing better......finally! I had a tough hospital stay (3 nights) and a rough few days at home too. Now I'm 18 days post op, drinking my protein and eating soft foods. A typical day for me is a protein shake for breakfast 30g of protein and 160 cal. Another shake for lunch and then a yogurt for a snack 80 cal 15g protein and for dinner a scrambled egg with 2 teaspoons of refried beans and salsa. So far Ive lost 20lbs but I stalled a few days ago and have lost nothing in the past 3 days. I'm now 205lbs and need to get to 150........I just want time to pass quickly so I can loose some more!! Happy at times but still have some buyers remorse. I still get so tired in the afternoon I need a nap....hoping my energy is back soon!

March 28th...full liquids tomorrow for Easter and the prep at 4. Excited!

Mine was 3/28, just got home from hospital, rough couple of days with the pain, it was more than I expected pain wise. Drinking going ok, def a challenge to get it all in, I am constantly feeling like the water is just sitting there and not moving eventually it does but uncomfortable during it.

Had my RNY 3/25 was released the next day around 1. Have been managing the pain okay, off pain meds since 3/27. Most of my pain has been from gas. I try to walk around my apartment complex at least 3x a day to relieve some of that. On clear liquids since surgery hoping to be cleared for full liquids tomorrow at my first follow up. I'm working on getting all my liquids in but it's a struggle.

I'm now 8 days post op. Still have pain by two of my incisions but been walking over a mile each day. Today was crazy! Was up early to take my youngest to a 7 am dental appointment and walked while he was getting his teeth cleaned. Did some other errands and at 1 sat in the recliner by the fireplace and woke up at MIDNIGHT!!! Holy cow! Obviously I needed it but now 3 am and wide awake!

Finding hot tea is my best friend. Tummy does NOT like cold things! Have yet to throw up, dump etc. no issues getting liquids in either but adding all the food ( that's a laugh!! 4 oz 3x a day?!?!) is more of a pain because I'm more interested in getting the Protein in.

FYI- Dannon Greek yogurt has a banana cream and a toasted coconut that are unbelievably awesome!!!!!

Have a great day all!!!

I wish I was able to get your amount of walking in. I have very sharp pain about 2 in to the left(towards back almost exactly on my left side) of my left most incision that makes just about all movement pain inducing. Heating pad is only way I sleep at night. Part of my problem is I've already lost 55 lbs from my hw and the loose fat/ skin tugs on this same area. I get a block or 2 in but then I need more pain medicine. First post op appointment is the 5th. Hope it's better by then.

Sitting upright in a chair, standing without an arm supporting my belly apron, can't bend over at all without real bad side pain, this inability to bend effects me the most can't pick up anything I drop or anything lower then say mid thigh. Also can't lean forward while sitting. As you can imagine toilet tasks are excruciating. Luckily with this diet it's only number 2 like once every 2 days. OK I'll stop my whining now.

Lol on the whining. I can relate. However- have you considered some sort of compression garment for your abdomen? Also, during maternity there is a belt of sorts women wear under their clothing to support the belly and alleviate pain from their back. This may be your savior. Stop by a maternity clothing store ( not just a section in a large store an actual specialty shop) and ask of you may try one on. Good luck.
