I'm day 3 post op from rny, and I'm wrung out beyond imagining. The pain meds certainly aren't helping with the tiredness. I'm getting about 2/3 of my Fluid requirements and about 1/3 of my Protein. My RD said my main goal for the first 2 weeks is about fluids.. to focus on that and the rest will fall into place. I am going to try the Gatorade zero suggestion as I'm sick of Water.

I'm 11 days postop and still not getting the recommended fluids nor Protein but I'm doing better than last week. Take one day at a time. It will get better. Popsicles, broth, and Water are my best friends. But I still need to up my water more.

      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!!
