4 Days Out

[Jennifree 16]

I had my RNY on Tuesday, and am tolerating liquids ok. I was also able to mix 1/2 scoop of Protein Shake powder with 8oz of Water, and sipped 1oz every 15 minutes, as advised by my surgeon. However, when I tried a teeny bit of yogurt, I had heartburn for 3 hours.

I have to crush up my Nexium and anxiety medicine, and the taste literally makes me heave when mixed with water or Crystal Light. So that's why I tried the yogurt. I literally had maybe 1/4 of a teaspoon.

So now I'm not sure when to try it again. I'm also finding that a few of my incisions are starting to itch. They were closed and a medical glue put over them, and I will not scratch them, but it's becoming more difficult not to.

I hope tomorrow to have the courage to try one of the Bariatric Pal Soups, since I'm supposed to be able to try strained cream soups.

Congratulations on your surgery. In the beginning it is rough. Every day for me it got easier. I finally reach my "happy state" about the 6 month post-op mark when all the problems seemed to melt away. There is a lot of experimentation in the beginning. If something doesn't work try and figure out something that does.
