2 week post op RNY update



Recommended Posts

So, today is my 2 weeks post op. I am feeling absolutely amazing! I had a little pain and discomfort for about the 1st three days, but on day four i was even sleeping on my side and stomach. I have lost 25 lbs so far....and can kind of tell in my shirts. Ill probably have to lose about 50 before i can really tell since i was so heavy to begin with.

I am concerned that i am able to eat too much. At first was was literally only able to eat two spoons of broth. But as i progressed to soft foods, i have found that eating slowly, i am able to eat about 1/2 to 1 full cup of food before i can tell that i am full. My surgeon said that its because my stomach and brain arnt communicating yet and that i need to stop at 1.2 cup. i think i really need to work on that because one of the reason i got so big was because i didn't want to stop until i was full. I am doing great on my Water and Protein and vits. I do get hiccups every time i eat. ( The dr said that this was my sign that i have had enough or even too much.)

How is everyone else doing on week 2 post op? what is your diet? I can pretty much eat anything as long as i chew it up very very well. ( Other than breads, pastas...pastries...ect) in a moment of weakness...i tried a small bite of noodles ( threw it up) , tried 4 chips ( threw them up) ...i know i need to be stronger and am working on it for sure. Since those episodes, i haven't even WANTED those things. Honestly, i dont really have any other cravings yet....which is a good thing!

Oh my gosh I'm with you! I'm still on week one, but hopefully progressing to week two and soft foods soon! But I am so bad! I've bit some watermelon chewed it up really well, and then spit it out. No nausea or vomiting, just general discomfort :/

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
