I got a 1 ounce cup!!

Surgery was Friday afternoon and I just got my first ounce of water!!!  I'm only about 15 minutes away from the end of my first hour, but not 75% done with my water.  It certainly is mind blowing.

Surgery went well.  I have been managing the pain with the morphine PCA, but then I get all groggy and out of it.  I walked quite a bit (maybe even too much?) yesterday.  The walking made most of the gas dissipate, just now it is starting in my intestines, I will hope for movement shortly!

I'm glad surgery went well.  Why are you just now getting water?

Jennifer,

Sounds like you are doing good.  I am also a revision from lap band to RNY.  I felt so much better when i woke up in hospital.  I over did it the first week.  I was at mall walking on day 4 and walking 2 1/2 miles in the first week.  I just felt like a new person with that stinking band out.


the gas will go away!!. #1 rule. Don't push your food restrictions. eat exactly on plan.  Don't go off of it.  Use your first 6 months to lose as much as you can.  after 6 months it will be a little slower.

Don't get disheartened if you don't lose as fast as everybody else.  I lost really really good the first few months then it slowed. i continued to lose but it was a little slower but steady pace

Doc wanted to be careful since I was a revision from the band and give it some additional time to heal.  Should go home tomorrow. 

Sugars have been pretty high 250-270, which is not normal for me, I guess we'll see what happens, they're giving me insulin here.

 Hi Jennifer,
I had my Lapband-RNY last Monday; the 11th.  I am doing great also.  I got back to my room around 3pm, and by 4:30 I was walking the halls.  I walked 3 times that first day.  I am doing well at home.  The only problem I am having is getting in protein.  I hope you can go home tomorrow.
