Hello Everybody

I did a Sleeve to RNY revision on the 10th of September. So far so good. I have lots of swelling in my abdoment still, but otherwise things seem to be coming along nicely.

Here's my biggest problem right now...

I returned to work yesterday and my brain isnt working. Of course, my stomach is not hungry at all, but my brain is starving. I am on pureed foods and am trying to eat alot and am constantly sipping Protein, but I just cant seems to get enogh in to get me to get through the work day. I guess some of the stuff I'm taking in isnt being absorbed.... hopefully this stage will pass soon.

Good luck to all you September folks !!!!!

Hows everybody else doing?

I'm home now thank god! I swear I feel so much better than I did before. Tummy is still sore of course. That constantly full feeling is subsiding so I'm doing Water. Taking my meds walking and attempting to get the water in.

when did your weight start going down

when did your weight start going down

Your weight should start going down after a few days of leaving the hospital. Your body still has a lot of swelling and fluids from the iv. Keep sipping your Water. I did great the first week and lost 11 lbs. second week has been a lot tougher and I've only lost 2lbs because I'm having a hard time getting all of my fluids. Just keep sipping!

gaining weight in the hospital is very normal - I wish they would tell you this before you go in. I gained a whopping 20 lbs in the hospital - I started back down about 10 day after I was out - but did go back with two complications so perhaps it took a bit longer that if you did not have complications. Lost for about two weeks and then hit a stall - just held on and the scale moved more - just keep at it.
