Rhodes my MFP id is cloughs319 Invite me to be your friend

I came home just yesterday from the hospital. I had RNY on Wednesday 5/29/15. I felt very good when I was discharged and made the three hour trip home without problems. After not sleeping in the hospital I was looking forward to sleeping good in my own bed. It was not to be. I had to get up to use the bathroom and then again to take pain medicine. I was up at 2 for an hour and then back up from 5 to 10 and then back up at 12:30 thinking it was much later in the afternoon. Now it is just 2:30 and I feel like I have been up forever. I have some abdominal pain but the worst pain is in my left shoulder. I am wondering if anyone else has had the same kind of pain and what did you do for it?

I just started with MFP and have sent several friend requests. I am on day two of my liquid diet and will have RNY on 4/29/2015. MFP I'd is cloughs319. Friend me.

I hope you did okay on your liquid diet. I am on the second day of mine and am finding it harder than the first day.

My RNY is scheduled for April 29, 2015. I am a 62 year old man and have been overweight all my life. I have type 2 diabetes and take medicine for high blood pressure and an antidepressant. My work is not physically taxing and I have the luxury of staying home most of the time. My highest weight was 332 in December 2014 and I am about 320 now. My wife is concerned that she has to be away overnight for business starting a week after my surgery and I will be home alone. I am trying to convince her that I will be fine on my own and lots of people have to just take care of themselves after they get home from the hospital. We have been married 36 years and she feels that she needs to take care of me. I love her for that but I do not want her to worry about me being okay when she is gone overnight from time to time the first few weeks after my surgery. Please help me to know about what I can expect my recovery to be like the first few weeks after surgery if all goes well with the surgery. How active can I be? What about getting up from bed and out of chairs? What kinds of activities will I be able to do? What kinds of precautions do I need to take? What limitations? I plan on discussing this with my surgeon when I see him next week, but I wanted to hear these things from people who have actually been through this. Thanks

Thank you. I hope all goes well with you.

What I am really looking forward to is not having to wear suspenders. Also I want to be able to do a pull up again. I haven't done one since I was seventeen.
