My surgery
Feb 08, 2011
I had my surgery on Feb.3rd. The surgery was the Lap RNY Gastric Bypass along with a hiatal hernia repair. I am still on clear liquids at this time until my next MD appointment on Thursday. I am hoping to be progressed to full liquids at that time. I was sent home with a JP drain which requires a daily dressing and pretty frequent priming and recording of the amount of drainage. I also have a small open wound on my left side that requires a dressing change twice per day. All in all, I am doing pretty good. My biggest problem so far has been trying to get in my much needed protein. I absolutely couldn't take the Unjury that was given in the hospital. I am a tad bit nauseated anyway and the simple smell of Unjury makes the nausea much worse. I have ordered a product called Proticta. It comes in what looks like a tube. You get 25 gms of protein in only 3 ounces. It comes in various flavors. I am sure hoping I can tolerate this as I realize how vital it is, especially in the early days, to get in your protein. Dr. Dyer and the entire Centennial staff was great throughout my hospital stay. They provided explicit instructions on everything. If any of you happen upon this post, please continue to pray for me and my recovery.
