Hi group. I had my lap RNY on the 15th and was released home today.  I have only been home for 7 hours and have been tearful all day. I didn't expect to have this much pain from my surgery and it seems like I have forgotten everything that I knew before going in.  I am not sure if my stomach is grumbling because I am hungry or because it hurts. And what about sipping water all day long? How much is a sip? HOw much fluids should I be consuming in an hour. And why did I forget all of this stuff that I previousely researched and knew. Anybody else out there feeling these things or am I just way over the top?
Thanks for any and all words of encouragement.

Hopefully you are feeling better by now!  I know that every day I'm getting more in control.  Can't say I feel great, but I definitely am getting a better handle on things.  And I have NOT wanted to eat, anything.  I think I'm hungry, sort of, but then my stomach growls and I'm not.  I am also wondering why the heck I did this.  Think I'll post and talk to someone two weeks out and get a pep talk. . .

While the weight loss is easier with surgery, the lifestyle is harder.
