Day #2 Post Op

Apr 10, 2009

Well surgery went very well. Or as Dr. Credi said…Swimmingly.

Today is day #2 and I’m still pretty much sore. I also still haven’t been able to sleep in our bed because I just can’t get comfortable. I hope that passes soon.  I'm still taking my pain meds (Liquid Tylenol with Codeine) and moving at a turtles pace but this is only day #2. My friend had RNY last Wednesday and she actually came to see me while I was in the hospital. She has some serious strength. I'm walking around our house and I want to get out this weekend and walk around as well. The gas isn't as bad as I thought it would be but I'm still pretty much bloated. I'm just taking it one day at a time. 

It’s extremely hard to get in my 64 ounces of water a day. Do you know if I can count the skim milk that I add to my protein shakes? 

I don’t see how people can have this surgery and go to work in 3 to 5 days. I think I'm going to take the whole 4 to 6 weeks off to just get use to my band and also to get the 64 ounces of water in me and 60 grams of protein. The protein seems to be easier then the water.  BUT I’m still happy to have been able to have the surgery.

I’ll keep you posted….
