OMG, 2 days post op and feeling incredible.

OK..update on me.  I had my surgery Monday 01/26 at about 12:30 pm.  My pain is minimal.  I have a little gas pain in my left side that is still bothersome.  I was able to get in 44oz of fluid on Tuesday.  My Dr. said I am doing awesome right now.  I walked and sipped and breathed and walked and sipped and breathed.  I did have a rough night sleeping the first night, but I didn't have my bipolar meds cleared to be taken yet.  So my sleeping was screwed up.  Last night I slept from about 9pm to 230 when I needed a half dose of pain meds and to have vitals taken.  Then I feel back to sleep till about 530 this morning.  This morning I proceeded to get up, packed my stuff, from 530-1030 drank 30oz of fluid.  So far, so good and this by far was the very best decision I have ever made.  Thanks to everyone who supported me throughout the process.  Much appreciated.

Yay!!  That's GREAT!  keep it up girl

You're recuperation only two days post-op is great.  Continue to get your rest, protein and fluids in.  Protein helps with healing.

Welcome to being a RNY post-op!  Thanks for the update.

Congratulations and keep it up! The weight will start melting away right before your eyes 

good for you! continue to be mindful of the fact though that you DID have major surgery so don't overdo - you will have pain and fatigue! stay on track with fluids and protein and you will do great!

Wonderful! Keep up the walking a sipping.  You're doing great!

Congrats! Rest up and drink when you can.
