Hi All - keep up the good work. We will make it through this before you know it.

I'm doing much better. I'm working every day to get my Protein & Water. I have successfully weaned myself off the pain med, but I to take anti-nausea med tonight:-( I just read I won't be able to try regular food until 2 months out (June 8th). OMG!

Isn't it amazing! Same here- I'm still on Clear Liquids (although I did scramble a plain egg yesterday to try to get the pipes moving) but I had a friend have the surgery done at the same surgical center (different dr) and they started her on soft foods 2 days after surgery!!

I was on soft foods 2 days after surgery...I just don't know what to eat...and I am so sick of Milk based Protein Drinks. I only got 1 in today....They are starting to make my stomach feel sick!

I like tuna or chicken salad :-) I think canned tuna or chicken is on the soft foods list? Maybe? Great protein sources! As far as protein drinks- I made one today that was pretty good- 4 oz milk- 1 scoop vanilla muscle milk, 1/2 pack of orange crush mix and ice- tasted like an orange push up pop :-)

Did you tell your nurses you're nauseous? The dr can give you something for that. I had a patch for nausea all three days I was in the hospital. It was called a scopolamine patch and worked great. I had zero nausea.

OMG. I grabbed the anesthesia dude by the arm and reminded him again before surgery how sick his wonderful stuff makes me. I was so worried I'd throw up. I had one mouthful of blood...right after I started ice chips. It freaked me out so bad. I didn't get to walk the first night because even with that patch and the shot....I almost threw up. Throwing up with fresh staples was my biggest fear going in.

I AM SO SORRY THAT HAPPENED TO YOU. Are you okay?

Hi all! I just discovered this forum. I had my surgery on 4/2/13 (revision to RNY from a 2003 lap band), and am so happy with how things have been going. I'm on day 3 of soft solids (FINALLY!!!!), and am trying to find a balance between eating enough and finding where full is. It'll take a while; I've been mostly erring on the not-quite-full side for fear of stretching my pouch. About the only big problem I've been having is with sleep. I wake up with pretty bad hip pain of all things (which I never had before, ever), which my docs have attributed to the time I spent on the operating room table. One of my docs had me re-start pain meds just one dose at night, last night, and that helped a LOT, though my sleep cycle remains disrupted. Nothing I can't handle in the grand scheme of things. I'm so excited about this process, and am looking forward to having people to share my journey with. Thanks for being there!
