I'm officially POST OP :)
I had my RNY done on monday the 16th :) I got home from the hospital yesterday and i feel great :)
I have 6 small incisions which have glue, steri-strips and regular Band-Aids... no sutures :)
I've been walking and sipping and I got down one protein shake today... took me about 2 hours, but i did it :)
I had a fabulous nursing staff at my hospital and I was very happy with my hospital stay
I see my surgeon on tuesday for my first follow up :)

Welcome Katie
Here is a hint for your protein shakes. Make them in 4oz batches. The first few days I could only get down 3 ounces and then eventually 4. I am almost 6 weeks out and cannot get an 8 oz protein shake down at one time. The shakes tastes better when they are "fresh" and have not settled.
Good luck.
