Proud of you! Mine is coming up very soon and I'm super nervous....so thanks for the encouraging words....wishing you a continued smooth recovery. I'm having the RNY too and probably the same age! You inspire me!

@JohnnyCakes - Seems like an very cruel thing to say to a fellow Bariatric Pal a few hours after her surgery, don't you think? Looks like you had major success with losing weight...how about lifting up your fellow forum members when they need it the most instead of trying to shame them for being brave enough to share at a tough time to help others who are right behind her? I think she is frickin' awesome for taking the time to post on the day of surgery with helpful hints and encouraging words.

How are you feeling today Sunshine? I'm a little more sore than yesterday but it's because I'm not being doped up with pain meds by nurses every few hours
But it's tolerable.

Keep your chin up. You'll be home soon and feeling great in no time at all.

Congratulations for making it this far! I’m post op 3 wks & I know the fatigue & sheer exhaustion all too well! It will be better week by week but sleeping heals the body, so sleep!!! I’m still napping every day at 3 weeks post op too! Hope your going to give yourself permission to nap or sleep as much as you need to! It crucial to emotional & physical wellness post op & can linger for a month to 6 months or even a year (as per my surgeon). So your doing great! Hugs!!

Congratulations! How are you feeling now? I just had my revision done on 11/6. I’ve been in a lot of pain and having trouble swallowing pills. Are you able to drink 64 oz water? So far I’m on my second water bottle and it’s 4pm and I managed to drink 11oz premier protein drink. This is such a strange thing for me, I’m so use to wanting to eat eat, and right now I could careless. Did you or anyone else have shooting pains near an incision site.

Sorry just saw this, I sometimes have pain where my incision is.
I try so much to drink, I feel you have to wake up so flipping early just to get all my fluids in. Sometimes I manage and other days I am shy by 1 or 2 cups.
I have days I am so hungry, but I get full quickly and other days I could barely look at food.I don't force myself to eat, but I make sure on those days I have my protein in drinks or plain yogurt.
Pills are so hard to swallow.I put them in yogurt and it goes down easier that way.
I wish you much success in your future weight loss!

not sure why my comment was taken so negatively. all i meant was that i'm surprised that anyone, just hours after a brutal surgery of any kind, would publicly post a selfie of themselves from their gurney. i surely wouldn't. i guess my shyness is a bit old-fashion these days of rampant social media ... i barely share pics of myself on my best day, so i definitely wouldn't do it from the recovery room!

that's all i meant - that i find it amazing that others have no problem sharing themselves so openly/honestly like that.

anyone, including the OP, who took my comment as some sort of insult about your looks or whatever... that's all on you. that thought never went thru my head. but apparently it went thru yours. good luck reconciling that.

to the OP - i hope you are feeling better these days...
