Had my open RNY on 10/16/07. Had the worst case of "foamies" and immediately cursed myself for doing such a stupid thing as WLS. They lasted for six days. I am and will be on full liquids until November 8th. I"M SO SICK OF FULL LIQUIDS! Now that is out of my system. Am moving well, and trying to walk at least a fourth of a mile three times a day. My DDs take me shopping and my aim is not to buy, but walk every aisle, of the big department stores, or until I get hot and sweaty and have to sit down! I had my first check up today, and only problem really is, little infection in upper part of wound. When they give you an antibiotic called Cephalexin capsules and you decide to open it up and put in on pudding and you instantly smell "cat pee", well guess what....it is the medicine and it tastes just like it smells. Really hoping when I call the clinic tomorrow, they will be able to give it in liquid or pill form. I can eat about anything, but not Cephalexin or lima beans!! I'm down a total of 36 pound with my pre-surgery diet and two week weight loss. I can already tell a difference on my joints, flatted sweater bumps and not as winded. The sickest thing of all is, that I have grown fond of Profect bullets. Haven't tried them all, but they only smell a little weird, and only taste "not as" weird. Told you I can eat about anything!
