14days

Sep 27, 2010

It has been 14 days since my RNY. 14 days for me to rethink what I have done everyday. Dont get me wrong, I know that I did the right thing. It's just that the experience I had with the hospital, nurses, allergies, pain, None of it was what I expected. I had thought that the whole floor for the "center of excellence" hospital would have been gastric patients. It wasnt, therefor the staff ran around like they didnt know what was going on. I thought that the nurses would have atleast told me that "everything would be ok" I really thought they would have handled my allergic reactions differently. To put it all in prepesctive, I was very dissapointed with my experience. I am really dissapointed that my surgeon didn't even show up to my post op appointment. I didn't want to see some assistant, I wanted to see the person who knew what happened during surgery.
I am just happy that I havent had any complications, other than the allergies to the meds. I am down 20 pounds in 2 weeks. I am starting the mushy soft phase of my healing diet. My hair has stopped falling out from surgery. Now I just have to wait for a couple of months before it starts again. I am only getting about 50 ounces of water a day. I need to increase that somehow. I went back to work, did really good also. Timed my food so that I had some type of protien atleast every 3 hours. I am really thankful that I learned so much from this site. Enough for now.
