Update

Apr 25, 2010

O.K., so here I am 5 days post op from laproscopic RNY.  YAY!!  The day of surgery was really bad. I had a tremendous amount of pain because Morphine does nothing for me except for make me deathly nauseated.  Sooo as you can imagine dry heaving after major abdominal surgery is not  a good thing. Anyway, once they got my meds changed over, all was right with the world. I came thru surgery fine and I am doing o.k. I still have a problem getting my protein in and to be honest my tastes have changed!!  The water i liked before surgery almost turns my stomach to think about drinking it now and i pureed some grilled chicken breasts. It was good the first time I ate it but I cannot bring myself to eat it again.. So I have called upon my sister to make me some of her homemade chili... ;-p  yummy!! Anyway.. Hope I can eat it once she makes it. I have not been hungry except for a couple of times and don't really think I was hungry, just think I was ...well don't really know what I was to be honest.. Day of surgery my weight was 355.8 and today it is 340.2... I cannot eat much at all. I eat maybe 2 times a day and I know that's not good but I feel so full I can't take anything. By the time I get my meds down in the mornings, I am stuffed! I have eaten today as i am supposed to do, except for the protein and the water.. That's hard.. Any suggestions other than sip,sip, sip.. I'm doing that already :-0... I made a protein shake and I guess that;s going to be my major way of getting the protein in. The unjury single serve packets are 20g per pkt and I can put that in 4 oz of milk and blend it with ice and I'm good...(Thank goodness I am not lactose intolerant, I know some people are after surgery). Anyway, just wanted to give an update.
