Looking for April peeps for RNY (Bypass)

[cat.jackson89 206]

@claddagh66- thank you! I feel much better today! The first couple days I felt fine, but when I came home, since I had to walk up steps & whatnot, my pain seemed to skyrocket. But I'm on day 4 post op, and I folded some laundry, made my kids a snack, and sat on my bed while tidying my room- so I am feeling like I'll be normal in no time!

Update-had my surgery yesterday (Wednesday) should be discharged tomorrow. It went smooth,

I had ice chips after the X-ray, to check for leaks, only one of my incisions is hurting, so far so good!

Anybody name their pouch? Looking for a good one for mine. Toying with a few names but none are just screaming at me. The ones I'm toying with are Polly Pocket, Penelope Pouch, Penny, or Joey (like the baby kangaroo).

Update, @@crazyboxermom please! I'm now 4 days post-op and am so eager to hear how things have changed for you this week!!

I'm so happy to be out of the hospital. I had some really good nurses and some rude ones, but I'm happy to be home and sleeping in my own bed now. I still have that tube sticking out of me until Wednesday and the gas pain is excruciating, but each day is better than the last. Having such a hard time getting Protein and liquids in because it feels so tight and uncomfortable, but I'm trying.

Congrats on all who had their surgeries this past week like I did! Mine was the 26th I'm 4 days out now and wow do I have a back ache. First couple days of laying around so much did me in! Surgery went well. Went home late day two.

I'm working hard on my liquids thinking I'm getting about 40oz in and 60-70g Protein so I don't think that's so bad. I'm really bad with keeping track of things. broth and Isopure yum.

Keep posting everyone!!!

Had surgery (RNY) on Monday and my only issue was post anesthesia nausea which I expected due to prior issue of the same. I was up and walking once the nausea wore off and lucky that I have had no issues with getting in my 64 oz of Fluid. I am not on shakes as well and have been able to get the 60 g Protein in with paying attention throughout the day. I am walking 2-3 times a day for 10-20 min depending on how I am feeling. My pain hasn't been bad at all but I do stay current on medication, maybe skip one or two doses a day now. My drain is annoying and I look forward to it coming out on Tuesday! I have lost about 6.5 pounds since the surgery and can already see it in my face, neck and chest areas as well as my ankles and feet. This has really been a great experience so far!

Yay, so happy for you alphabetize! I am 2 weeks, 3 days out. Pain is gone, been off all pain meds for past 11 days. I am on soft foods. Been eating ground turkey, FF refried Beans, mashed potatoes and Wendy'a chili. The scale has been stuck for 5 days but I've heard this is normal. I went to dinner last night for the first time. Got the chicken and mashed potatoes at Outback - chicken made with no butter or oil. I didn't eat much of it but it was nice to go out with my family. Still struggling to get all my Water in, but I'm working on it. I'm down 13.5 lbs from surgery which isn't a lot but 23.5 total for April which is awesome. So proud of you! The gas pain was the worst for me. It really helps to walk even though it's uncomfortable. Thank you for updating us!! I've been thinking about you and wondered how you were. Haven't been on here in a few days. Hang in there! It gets better!!
