1 week out

Oct 29, 2009

Had a lot of pain last night.  Felt very bloated and unable to pass gas but a lot of burping.  Called the case manager and she recommended GasX and to take a stool softener.  I have hated the liquid pain med so have been taking liquid tylenol with good results to day.  Was aftaid that I was getting intolerant to the milk in the protein shakes.  Have walked everyday since home but today's walk was very difficult at a super slow pace, did not think I was going to make it. 

My husband had this surgery two years ago and my son had it 8 weeks ago and they did not experience the pain that I am having.  I understand everyone is different and my surgery was different because I had a hernia repair and espoheal tear repaired before they could even start my RNY.

Each has been a little better.

My weight the day of the surgery was 224.4, home from the hospital I was bloated at 235 and today was weight was 221.4. 

This is tougher than I thought trying to get in 50 gms protein and 64 oz total fluids.  I know it will get better.
