Two-Weeks Post Op RNYGB
Aug 30, 2010
Today makes 2 weeks since my RNY Gastric Bypass and 1 week since my follow-up surgery to find the bleed. My surgeon believes the blood I lost the weekend I had to go back into the hospital was blood from my first surgery. I take a blood-thinner called Coumadin which makes these kinds risks very probable. So a week ago, my surgeon went back in through and endoscope and couldn't find any new bleeds, he also took 3-4 biopsies of my new tummy but I believe those are all fine... after my blood counts came back up, he let me go home from the hospital, again :).
Today I had a post-op appointment with my nutritionist and the nurse practitioner for my surgeon. Everything went great and I've lost 9 more pounds in the last week!
I've lost a grand total of 27 pounds since beginning my journey. 
I am on my pureed diet which is pretty yummy. I can have chicken, blended with cream soup, and even had blended taco soup last night and today. My roommate makes it and it's both yummy and filled with protein! I do kind of miss chewing, but I start my calcium chews tomorrow and those are yummy! I hadn't started them yet because I wasn't sure if I could have them while on the pureed diet. Mmmmm, just had a chocolate one, tastes like a Tootsie roll! I have chocolate and lemon, they also make a raspberry, but I haven't tried those yet. I know the lemon tastes like starbursts :).I go back to see my surgeon and my nutritionist on Sept. 7th... I'm guessing maybe by then I'll be moved on to the "soft" diet.
School started today, and I have signed up for two night classes, I need to try to get in a couple of Biology classes for my minor, so tomorrow I will try to call the department and see if it will let me register. The two classes I signed up for are Behavior Modification and Industrial Psychology.
I really wish I had a little more time to heal up as I have really no desire to go trapesing (sp?) across campus at this point, but I also know I don't want to loose the whole semester. Will contact my professors tomorrow and see if they will give me a pass for this first week.Hugs!
