Hi Friends!! I have a few questions. I'm nine days post op. I'm slowly starting to feel normal. My program has you not drink five minutes before a meal and 30 minutes after. They would like me to take only two pills at a time. Should i also not drink after taking meds? If i get the six meals a day in (not even close yet!) That's 3 hours of not drinking. I'm concerned adout needing to do that with meds as well. Any thoughts? Thank you!!
It's encouraging to see everyone doing well!!
I'm one-week post-op today. My surgery was a success, even though my hospital experience wasn't. I'm happy for everyone who had successful outcomes all the way around.
I feel cheated and still need to vent. I was soooo excited about my big day, so I have that I still fee bitter about the sub-standard CARING I received. Note the word CARING and not CARE. I expected to be treated much differently -- in a more compassionate and CARING way. Instead of being recognized as a chronic pain patient having bariatric surgery, I was treated like someone with ordinary pain. My surgery site was not the source of my pain, but I was treated as though it was. One mg of morphine for me is a Jell-O cup. I was not recognized as a whole person, and when I tried to get relief and mentioned the word GRIEVANCE, everyone turned into SAVE-MY-BUTT mode. There are details that don't give my story a bigger-picture perspective, so just try to imagine feeling dismissed or made to feel as though you had little value and had no right to expect better treatment.
Help me release this anger, please! PLEASE!!! It's time for me to get on with my healing. I don't want to think about my grievances with the hospital any longer. I want to Celebrate the new and improved me. I want to feel happy. Does anyone have a magic wand?
I am so sorry you had to go through that. Vent away. I don't have a magic wand that can make it better but hopefully a reminder that the surgery is over and now you can start a new healthier life will help you see the bright side.I'm one-week post-op today.

Hey. I’m Bev I’m new here. Having surgery June 26th. Been on liquid diet for 10 days. It’s not as hard as I had thought it would be. Now I have broken out with a cold sore. Aaahhh. I’m wondering if I should call my surgeon and if he might cancel surgery because of it?? What do you think?? Surgery is on Tuesday.
Well well I do hope you are all fixed with your RnY, like your promo. Remember
Every Day. 🎈 In Every Way. 🎈 You will get better and better! 💓,Hugs💓
