4 days post op

Thusday 9/5 they performed gastric bypass on me.

Two hours later I was walking and the pain was controlled by me with a PCA.

I arrived home on 9/7 after I drank at the hospital 21 oz in 9 hours. No nausea, no vomit, no pain.

I am drinking water relatively easily and I tolerate it pretty well. Around 4-5 oz in 15-20 minutes. But then I have to stop and rest for 30-40 minutes.

Proteins is more difficult. I can have 1 oz in 15 minutes and then I am full (I guess it is "fullness" it is a more sensation of pressure, very light pain on the left upper quadrant of the abdomen)

So I barely reach 35oz a day and I don't reach 20g of proteins.

So far no poop, just gas. Little pee but also I don't drink a lot in a day.

When I will be able to drink 1 oz gulping it? When I'll be able to drink more water?

Believe me, you don't want to gulp water.. I had the same feeling during my process (SVG), it is better if you sip water..

I am up to my 6 1/2 month and now I can gulp water when I am really thirsty I can drink 4 oz within 1 min, but feel a bit discomfort after that..
