Day 1 Post-Op

Mar 06, 2012

I am sitting here in the hospital, the morning after my RNY Gastric Bypass, The surgery its self lasted a little over an hour.  I feel pretty good for the most part.  My abdomen is a little tender, but I am trying not to use a lot of the pain meds, but most defiantly know when they have worn off. and my On Q ball was not working until around 4 am when the nurse came in to tell me that there are sensors on it that need to be touching my skin to trigger it to dispense the medicine. Over all the most real pain i have had was/is from the air/gas which feels like a severe case of heartburn, it is getting better, but having a hard time passing it on either end if you know what I mean.
I ate on ice chips all day yesterday, so today is the real test as I start on my clear liquid diet. MMm yummy....lol. Its been hard seeing pizza and food commercials on the TV, but i have been closing my eyes to avoid the thoughts. I really don't feel hungry as of yet though either.
