I had RNY on 6-24-14 was discharged yesterday I'm doing good to get protein in and fluids today but even just doing simple things I am exhausted. So when should I get into the cardio routine?

I do the centrum chewable

I am 2 weeks post op and am a RN. I have had a lot of pain to left side also I wound up having infection that had to be aspirated and then today more drainage. The left side is where they move different instruments in amd out along with if his surgeon removes a piece of intestine.sonthis is why that side will hurt more. I did a lot of reading and preparing but never thought of an abscess would make my pain to that area so bad. Tell him rest don't over do it and follow doctor orders it will get better.

Hope you get to feeling better. I had surgery 2 week ago and got an infection just know it will all be ok. Best wishes

Hi so I had RNY on 24th and am very sore on the left side. I was told that's the largest area where they go in and out with instruments so it will be sore also where they remove a piece of intestine and take out. I have developed on infection of some sort now to that area but have only needed pain medication once today. No drains o discharge however if this area I fluid filled I wish they would have left a drain. I have gone thru crying and wondering what did I do but know it will get better. Good luck and beat wishes.

Latido, do you care to share your list. Klcarrion@hotmail.com.

Hi all so I had surgery almost 2 weeks ago. I have what I believe to be a seroma (fluid filled sac ) and it's sitting on left side rib cage area. I'm great except for this as the pain is horrible. I see surgeon for 2 week follow up Monday so for now taking liquid pain medication every 4 hours. Has anyone had this happen and what have they done to resolve this issue. Please any input

Sounds great klcarrion@hotmail.com

Saw surgeon in ER today he is not convinced it's infected or a seroma so he started e on antibiotic but when I tell you when he squeezed this pocket of fluid I almost came of the table. Glad I went to and started antibiotic.

I have a baseball size sac I can feel around incision site. I'm a ER RN and had a PA come see me and he agrees watching for increase redness draining and fever none of this just the pain is to point that I can't take it anymore

I have 22 - 24 pants dress clothes and suits if anyone needs if anyone had 18-20 can we pass along. Thanks

No they do not have sugar it's sugar free carnation breakfast and sugar and lactose free 20 gram french vanilla protein. There are plenty of items that meet sugar free amd high in protein!

I am a week out RNY and I am having pain to the left side with what feels like is muscle cramping. I took magnesium citrate so I have had a bowel movement. This pain is in a knot form and goes from under left breast to left lower abdomen. Anyone have this happen. The doctor office says it's normal but it doesn't feel normal. Please any input.

I like 1 % milk with carnation instant breakfast chocolate . French vanilla protein drink from walmart. I'm only a week out so still on liquids but I like these

I stopped taking in high calorie and sugar foods months prior so I wouldn't go thru withdrawal. I was on a low carb diet 2 weeks prior and liquids 2 days prior to surgery. It helped with cravings etc. I do have 5 stabs and an area where I had 2 JP drains it is interesting to read how everyone else is doing and materials given. I have done research also on what Duke gives to there patients. I think it medical training and personal preference.

I had RNY on 6-22 and I have not had a bowel movement plenty of gas and sore on the left side where he said the stapler went in and he stitched the muscle for support but I have been wondering the same thing. I am getting all my fluid and protein in but just concerned about he poop.

Thank you. I'm sore but excited ☺

So some truth about surgery even with all the reading I did it did not prepare me for the horrible nausea I have had for the past 2 days nor the pain at the site where the stapler went in. While having the swallow test done it was my moment of time "what did I do to myself" I'm sure that it will all be worth it. Having the drains removed was a weird feeling but glad they are out. Looking forward to healing and not being in pain.

Looking for input on surgeon prior to surgery not sure if I'm nervous or just wanting to make sure picked right surgeon.
