RNY - how are you feeling?

[itsmekarenlee 129]

Hi all, surgery was last Friday. Got home from hospital yesterday. Doing ok I guess. Trying to get down the required 60g of Protein. Can barely do 30g. And Water too?? Ha. Every sip hurts like I'm swallowing a big chunk of meat. Pharmacy is out of protonix until tomorrow afternoon.

I'm wondering what a good Soup would be that is high in protein? broth only has 2g. Thx

Imback in the hospital as of yesterday. Surgery was 7/8 48 hours of vomiting and npo for 72.

[itsmekarenlee 129]

not good. Do they know why Leena?

[Leena 108]

Either swollen area where the intestine meets the pouch or stricture. Im waiting to see my surgeon today when he makes his rounds to ask for some tests.

Aw man, so sorry Leena...this has been one tough road for you. I sure hope those docs have their wheaties today and get you fixed up once and for all!! Keep us posted on your progress.

[Leena 108]

My surgeon came to see me. I started vomiting while talking to him. He's going to do an endoscopy tomorrow morning. He changed the frequency of my meds. And hopefully tomorrow will figure out what's going on.

@@allforkarya - yesterday was HORRIBLE for me. Nauseous and extremely tired all day and spent the full day in bed. Today - complete opposite. I've been up and out walking (1.5 miles so far today), ate Breakfast, lunch, and feel great. I wonder if we'll just have those 'off days' over the next several weeks/months until healing really completes?

4 days out and I'm tired of the feeling like a chunk of meat is going down. And that's even when I'm not drinking anything. I don't know what it is.

I take tiny sips. How long are we supposed to wait until taking another sip? We are supposed to drink 1oz every 15 min.

My RD told me 2oz every 15 minutes. I am not accomplishing that. I am having a very very hard time taking my medicines that I have got to take. I would say it takes me 45 minutes to get it all down. I have to split them, powder them, anything them and it all feels like it is getting stuck. Just is not fun at all.

So my body decided to scold me today for eating too quickly.....NOT CUTE. Lesson learned!!

Hi everybody, How's everybody feeling today? I had a pretty good day spent some nice time with my sisters. Thought you might be interested in the following about the Panera bread and what they'll do the customers great! Someone said a while ago that it was good when you're on your puréed or full liquid to go to Panera bread and get a bowl of their broccoli cheese Soup blend it Well today I was out and about with my sisters who have helped me so much since my surgery on July 8th and I wanted to treat them to lunch. At Panera I asked if I could get a cup of broccoli cheese soup and if they would blend it for. Well they did and I ate 1/4 cup and took the rest home for a couple more meals. I just thought you all might want to know.

You must have a great Panera Bread! I'm sitting at the one in Renton Landing (WA) and they made a huge deal about me even asking. How dare I suggest they blend some soup in the smoothie blenders.

Hello everyone, I don't mean to be indelicate but does anybody have some good natural ,non-laxative over-the-counter ,solutions for Constipation?

I would check with your doctor first, but Colace is really good. You can buy it off the shelf. I took it with a previous surgery, when I broke my arm and was on pain meds and my sister is taking it because she just had a baby. Seems safe, but check with your doctor first to be on the safe side!
