Bypass 2 days ago....home now

[sherri~ 77]

I felt like I was very prepared for everything that occurred when I went for my surgery Wednesday. The nurses and doctors seemed to respond well when I knew the answer to some of their questions.

I'm home now and I'm only tolerating Jello in micro amounts and Water. Not supposed to add a Protein shake ( 1 through the whole day) until tomorrow. Also the endocrinologist in the hospital reduced my insulin already by a lot!!!!

I'm finding the hardest thing is getting up and down....and finding a comfy way to rest. My abdominal muscles really ache.

Overall....I'd say I'm still thrilled with my decision to have the surgery.

Congratulations on your surgery. This article describes my experience after my RNY gastric bypass surgery 3 years ago. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf You may find some of the information helpful.

I feel the same exact way...getting up and finding a comfy place is difficult ...the only time it's a bit easier is when I take my pain medication (which I am just about out of) Loratab.

I'm so sorry you're having pain DelRay. I feel clumsy and it does hurt so to get up but I know I have to.

I had little separate 2 oz Jello mixed up and can't finish even one of them yet. Hoping a good night sleep tonight will turn the pain around a bit.

I've gone to half doses of the pain meds. It seems to cover it.

My biggest hope is that I'm able to get my fluids in.

Yeah Sheri! Happy to hear you are home. Hang in there I hear it gets better soon! Just think about how great it will be to give up insulin altogether! I can't wait to be rid of my pump. God bless you. Keep us posted I am scheduled November 1

DelRey310 congrats! It's going to get better. I'm told if we just keep moving. Easier said than done when you're in pain no doubt. Please keep us posted. I hope you will feel much better very soon . God bless.
