I got out of surgery at 11am. Woke up around 1-2 in so much pain. Had tons of back pain cause of the oxygen. My voice was raspy cause of the intubation. Stomach hard and swollen as a ball. I questioned my decision to every nurse and Dr I saw. They gave me Morphine in a machine which I press the button and it gives me morphine every 15mins. Feeling much better now. I started walking around 9pm when the anasthesia was wearing off. Was dizzy but I made It through. Finished phase 1: liquids yesterday. Today I start stage 2: protein shakes started peeing soon after I started walking. I was retaining all my urine after that first pee. Decided to walk more now I am a non stop pissing machine lol. Only problems I'm having now are gas pains. In which I'm taking gas x for. Having passed gas yet but hopefully I will this AM so I can go home tonight. They brought me all liquids at 8; SF Jello, Water bottle, Veggie broth, green tea. 3 sips of broth and I was full. (Such an amazing feeling since I still don't believe I had the bypass done, so bittersweet)
Now trying to figure out how to pass gas [emoji618]️

I was discharged yesterday. Im in pain. Im in my recliner right now because I cant do the bed. You will have mixed emotions I am going through that right now. It is a true statement to say it is bittersweet. It will get better. Not there yet

iamready4this

Yeah! Glad to see you're up and moving around. I wish you nothing but success!

You've got this! I'm sure it will be painful and uncomfortable for the first week or more, but that is probably normal. You had major surgery, after all. Thank you for sharing your experience. I am having RNY in a few months, so it helps to hear what other people have experienced so I can know what to expect. Hope you feel better soon!

Just knowing that you can be so clear and post so soon after surgery gives me some comfort!! Keep up the good work (and good luck with the gas....)

Lucky you to have a recliner I've been sleeping propped up on pillows. But have been able to lay on my right side now. I'm no longer regretting the surgery. The worst part is over. I'm finally able to sip and have a sort of schedule. I have started to feel physical hunger which I didn't think I'd feel so soon. And let's not get started on my cravings and having to deal with the amazing odors of the foods that landed me here in the first place. How are you feeling?

I'm so happy to have been able to clear some things up for you both! I'm On day 5 post op, finally passed gas at 5am on day 3 post op (Thank God!) I still have to remind myself to pee through out the day though, or my bladder will hurt once it's over capacity. Sleeping was a pain. I slept propped up on pillows, you're lucky if you have a recliner. Off of pain killers since day 4 post op The sipping has gotten better as well now I'm drinking more frequently with less trouble as the first few days. My stomach is all bruised. Super ugly (see pic). I'm able to walk tons but I'd be so tired soon after as if I need 25 years of rest. Lol I still do have gas in my diaphragm from when they inflate you (makes it super painful to wear any bra) also underwear's we're a no go for me the first days due to the extra swelling!!! Just a bit on my experience so far. I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you have. Feel free to PM me!

Also have been losing about a lb a day since surgery, I started my own diet a month prior to surgery. Dropped 21lbs on my own, was 230 at surgery, currently 224

Im having some breathing issues trying to get in to see my pulmonologist. Really concerned about it. But other than that I am doing better with my liquid intake.
