How are you feeling? I'm miserable currently... hoping as the days go by I'll be much better... do your breathing thing... I have Fluid in my lungs because I haven't been doing it right Sent from my iPhone BariactricGirl4Life I'm doing okay. I went in for RNY and had to the sleeve because my intestines are twisted. I'm being discharged today since I'm doing okay walking and drinking Water. Can't bend over to get my shoes on so will need to ask a nurse for help. Just waiting for my sister to come get me.So how do you feel about being sleeved instead of RNY?? I'll tell you what...I NEVER thought my pain level wld be this BAD!! Thank goodness my fiancé took this week off or idk what I'd do!! He helps me around & even to bathroom etc... they found my stomach was all twisted up in my chest so Surgery took 5hrs instead of normal 1 1/2hrs....idk if that's the reason I'm in soooo much pain? But the fluid I my lungs isn't helping!!! Can't explain enough to do your breathing exercises!!! Hope you feel better soon...prayers Sent from my iPhone BariactricGirl4Life They had to call my sister when I was on the table to ask about switching to the sleeve. My sister knew I wanted the surgery so she told them yes. It's okay. I really couldn't decide between the two. I don't have any gas pain. The only pain I have is from the one incision on my right side. I have a raging headache though so I'm going to get liquid Tylenol. I doubt I'm drinking enough liquids and need to do better. All I've had since I've been home is water and diluted juice. Sent from my LG-H830 using the BariatricPal App Wow....you had it good (as far as pain level)...not sure how I'd feel in your position...def wld want the sleeve if no other option...but waking up being told you didn't get RNY?? but it's better than them telling you, you can't have surgery whatsoever...right I've been in & out of hospital/ER every since my surgery! Lots of labs & IVs....potassium infusions etc....been siiiiiick & not able to eat or drink for days...two weeks out & 20+ lbs down... not the healthiest way to lose it..but today I started taking Carafate (spelling?) & meds to curb my sickness & man has it done wonders! I can finally eat & drink (found some YUMMY tortilla broth @ Woodman's) & im HOOKED! I dilute it w/ water to get my liquids in (cuz nurse said count broth as a liquid now) & it don't mess w/ my pouch (aka Hermione)...so I'm happy I can start getting liquids in!!! Yaaay!

I'm the 28th too!! Sent from my LG-H918 using the BariatricPal App Did you find our NOV FB SUPPORT GROUP?? Lmk if you need it....prayers to you for your upcoming losers bench day!!! Sent from my iPhone BariactricGirl4Life

Hi Heather, my surgery was also on the 24th. I am so glad its over. I still don't have my strength back and find it difficult to walk too far but I know I'm healing. Thanksgiving day has been difficult...but I'll survive. Two of my incisions are still pretty painful and make it difficult to get up from a sitting or lying position. I have to say, I am very hungry and can't wait till I can have real food to eat. So how are you doing??? Yup again...those two incisions...plus gas pain/pressure...omg wasn't prepared for it to be this bad....prayers you have a speedy recovery & hope you found our support group??

Omg!!! How are you feeling now? What happened in the days leading up to today? I pray that things are better and you have a speedy recovery.... Sent from my iPhone BariactricGirl4Life

I was not required to do a liquid diet either... I thought it was weird and ask them about it and they said they rather you get used to eating like you were supposed to....so you're prepared for after surgery... to eat correctly... They required a bariatric diet which consists of meat... veggies...and fruit... and only Water and Crystal light (sugar free drinks) to drink... also sugarfree Popsicles... limit to three a day... I have surgery on November 21, 2016.... There is a Facebook page specifically for bariatric support for anybody that has their surgery in November etc. if you want to join???

"Eeeeek"....lol You said it... The excitement is unreal!!! ???? Sent from my iPhone BariactricGirl4Life

Agreed...but I guess it's the best time to do it too? Less temptation??? In a way it's forced for us to eat less/better being fresh out of surgery? Sent from my iPhone BariactricGirl4Life
