I was hoarse for about s week after my surgery. On morphine pump at hospital and Tylenol with codine. Took that for about 4 days. Throat didn't hurt though, that I noticed.

Thank you for that advise! I didn't realize that. But I will do that. ANY advise is appreciated, at this stage!

Your not to old. My first 2 weeks have been hard but it's doable! it will get better.

Only immediate family and my coworkers and boss (all very supportive) know I've had RNY. It's not a secret and if they ask, I'll tell them, but I didn't want to hear any negativity, cause it's bound to happen. My husband has been great! made all his own food or brought it home, so that I didn't have to cook food. I encouraged him to get food if we were on the road. Didn't bother me. I'm very blessed to have such a carring husband.

I'm 60. Had RNY on 7/5/17. I'm doing great! feeling good enough to go back to work Sunday. Just now starting soft foods. chicken, good. Tina a no go! I have a shake mix that is 60 grams protein per serving so I can drink one every day cause no way will I even get close to enough protein! I want to be able to move and keep up with grandkids! I did this for my health. It's been hard but I'm so glad I did it. Lost 30 lbs before surgery and 10 after. So I'm happy. I want to ride a bike again.
