February bypass buddies?

[kimber57 6]

Hi dear ones! I had surgery on the 20th (RNY) and was released for home on the 21st. I feel absolutely fantastic. Very little gas and my tummy wasn't even distended too much. They said they expelled as much as they could after surgery. The surgeon said it was an easy operation and the my liver looked pink and lovely! Yay me!
I'm walking and drinking and visiting with my sissy. The biggest problem is that i have to limit fluids today to only 4oz. I can drink somewhat normally. I do feel it filling up a little when I sip too fast, but I feel like and asked, "Did you really do the surgery?" LOL!
I'm up 5lbs from fluids. On the day of surgery I weighed 222.4lbs. So I'm looking forward to the scale moving! Tomorrow I start full liquids--today I'm still on clears. But it's ok. I have absolutely no desire for food. And I have ambivalence for other people's food. Yay!!!
Hope all the other Feb. 20th folks and the February folks in general are doing well!!!

So happy to hear about a positive experience. I am happy for you Fluffy. My surgery is next Monday the 26th. I hope for a positive experience like your own but know that everyone is different. Please keep us informed of your progress.

I had my bypass on 2/8- cravings are awful but I am getting through! I haven’t had a BM since though... which seems to be my biggest issue! Has anyone else run in to this problem? I’ve been using colace and Miralax for several days without any luck.

Milk of Magnesia works miracles just make sure you drink some Water afterwards get it going.... I will say that Decaf has been helping me get going to with Protein premier milk mixed in. I do Miralax everyday 4oz water with the recommended dosage then if I do not go by day 3 I use MOM. It gets uncomfortable for sure. I take MOM at night and usually wake up and have to go sometime in the morning. If you do not want to use MOM, try some Greek yogurt (helped me too). I was RNYed 2/7 so I feel you.

So the nausea due to the stomach and intestines surgery hasn't been that bad? I've seen several posts where the nausea due to messing with stomach and intestines has been really bad.

It was pretty bad for me that was the worst part although in all fairness as well I have a bad reaction to anesthetic which I learned the surgery and last night I learned that I'm allergic to hydromorphone after my body broke out in hives if I didn't have this stupid complications related to medication the surgery would have been a breeze

I sure hope they get your meds straightened out ASAP! I know that's no fun! I'm hoping I'll be one of the lucky few who have little nausea. I'm taking GasX chewables with me just in case... and some MiraLax.
