3 days post op
Sep 08, 2012
So today is day 3 post-op and I am in a bit more pain then anticipated. The gas pains are horrible, and I'm again finding myself second guessing my decision (Buyers remorse) I don't think that I am anywhere closr to the ammount of liquid intake that I am supposed to be at. I also started drinking my carnation instant breakfast, but it doesn't seem to sit too well :( So I have only had it once today I will try again tomorrow. Sipping and walking, sipping and walking it's all I can do..

Seven days....
So after years of research, and effortless diets, and programs I am finally in the homestretch for my RNY. I like most everyone had to undergo a battery of tests. I am pre-diabetic, have low iron and calcium levels (suprising because I drink so much milk) And I have sleep apnea. It's mild, but I was still given a Cpap (Yuck). This is the most miserable device I have ever encountered :/ The Cpap is very uncomfortable, and difficult to try to get to sleep in. In my experience it almost feels like I am suffocating. Hopefully after surgery they will take me off of it..That's if I don't take myself off of it first. I almost feel like I am more tired, and lacking sleep, rather then sleeping better. I am also a week into my pre-op liquid diet. On this diet I have to drink a mandatory 3 Carnation instant breakfast's a day. I can have unlimited sf jello, popsicles, broth and bullion. I can have one serving per day of either Yougurt, or sf pudding, and a serving of fruit. I am STARVING!! My husband says "You signed up for this" I say no, I signed up for not being hungry afterwards :/ I can't wait until next Wednesday!!
