May God bless and keep you and bring you home safe and soon!!
Hi everyone. I just thought you might like to know what's doing. I had a very successfull RNY Tuesday the 9th though I stayed at the hospital a couple extra days due to trouble with nausea, etc. Dr. Garren at UW Wisconsin really rocks! He let me stay until I was able to do what needed done. The pain was manageable, Meriter's nurses all wonerful. I happily wobbled my way home Friday night and relaxed,(sipping and walkies of course-LOL) on my mountain of pillows. Saturday the pain became much worse. I was pale and felt really yucky. Temp was 99F, no big. Saturday night, I didn't sleep, the pain was getting much worse and temp was 100. I thought it wasn't a real problem cause I was staying hydrated and all. That afternoon, temp was up to 101.5 and stayed put till night. Pain was incredible. I got so dizzy I thought I'd pass out every time I stood. By nine pm I had to prep for exploratory Laprascopic . In at 10:30pm out at 11:30. My second recovery was harder. Ihad some old blood in my colon that was making me so sick- whodathunk it. We prepare for everything else. Oh well. Dr. Garren rocks a second encore performance, and I am finally home again. Sorry. I don't mean to drone on but typing is about the onlt thing that doesn't hurt. Just thought I'd keep you all up. God bless you all.

what protein drink are you having with 40g? are you adding it to milk.
I saw you post the other day about the cream of mushroom soup. I have an email out to my nut to see if I can have that too. Today was my first day with milk. woohoo.

sorry to hear you are in pain. why the heck didn't they give you liquid pain medicine? Take it one day at a time. It is getting a little better for me each day.
Hang in there,
