My beginning

Aug 12, 2009

 
Surgery went well, I was discharged before 24 hrs.  My only complaint was 14 lbs of water weight can from the I.V.'s.  This caused all the discomfort to me because it seemed to all be drawn into the abdomen cavity.  This added pressure internally to my bladder & my bladder swelled & started with bladder spasms.  Due to this my urine output was pretty low which couldn't relieve me from all the water weight.  All this compresses your colon & then it doesn't want to even let gas out much less (yanno).  Nevertheless, I went for a U/A had not infection, started taking Pyridium & within 48 hrs finito' all better & feeling 98%.  Today is day 7 post-op from RYN, doing really great.  It took about 5 days to lose most of the water weight gain, but now I'm losing the FABULOUS F-A-T !!!!!  I am happy about this & I'm happy with my decision for surgery thus far.  I am still on clear liquids, but was able to add a protein drink but ONLY a pure isolate....named ( ISOPURE ).  It is @ GNC & about $4.50 a bottle but has no carbs & 40 grams of protein.  I don't care for the taste of most all of them, but the Grape Frost is wonderful if you had sugar free Grape Kool-Aid.  My 1st post-op appt is Friday Aug 14, & I pray I am doing the right things & hope to learn more about the prevention of health issues, such as hair loss & malnutrition.  I pray everyone is doing well with their WLS.  God Bless this family of OH people.  muuuuuuuuah
