Today's update/protein shake update
Today, I took a trip to the Civic Campus pharmacy and purchased the sample kit of the Unjury Protein Shakes. The unflavoured/tasteless are NOT tasteless lol, however, what I found I can definitely tolerate is the vanilla mixed with skim milk and decaf. Gonna try the chicken soup one this afternoon and then the chocolate for supper.
I had called them prior to going in as I wanted to ensure they were open. When I called the girl said they were open and yes they sold the Opurity Vitamin Chewables! Me--->GREAT, I am on my way! When I get there what she failed to tell me is that they are out of stock GRRR.
While I was at the Civic I went to emerg as I wanted to get one incision spot checked. When I had left the hospital there had been a wee bit of bleeding. I was pretty sure it was fine, but I had had a shower and I think it got wet so the colour changed. Anyhow we changed the dressing and it looks good.
I also had them check because the one spot where I get weird pains is about 2 inches above the incision spot between the breasts. It only hurts when I change positions i.e. go to stand, go to sit etc. Once I am in position it is fine. It is not even really a muscular or sore pain but I would describe it as more of a gassy pain. (Although that has not been a problem, nor have bowel movements TMI I know, lol). Anyhow they checked me thoroughly and everything seems good. The doctor seemed to think it might be just healing pain from the incision that is nearest there. I have my follow up this coming Friday anyhow so I will check with them to be sure as well.
As for the multivitamin---Jennifer from the dietician section of the wmc, said I am fine to cut the One A Day's into small pieces and take them like that. I was worried they would stick in the pouch but she assured me it would be okay. I will do that until I can get the opurity chewables.
So for me, everything seems to be progressing really well. I am getting everything in, still getting in my walks, starting to sleep a lot better and have not taken any pain medicaiton since the day before yesterday!
And today i walked from Emerg to the Pharmacy and from the Pharmacy to our car in the parking lot (which normally would have been a huge feat for me) with no shortness of breath, no leg pain and no back pain. WHOO HOOO, I plan on Rockin' this RNY!
Again, I still don't sit at computer for long periods as it gets just a wee bit too sore so please accept my apologies for lack of replying but please know that I do come and and read everyone's updates for short periods of time so keep them coming.
Take care all

Surgery ---December 23 with Dr. Yelle!
Bravo, April!
These updates are terrific, and I, for one, as a fellow Ottawan, really appreciate your detailed descriptions.
Given the snowfall and dropping temperatures, you really are to be commended for going out to the Civic and getting the answers and supplies you need.
I hope you're taking your well-deserved nap.
*hug*
