I’m home now, took an oral dilaudid and it didn’t do much for pain. Had picked up some liquid Tylenol and gas-x, trying to get the Tylenol down now but gosh is that stuff disgusting 🤮! Suture sites are very sore and have a bit of a headache. Very bloated, but not gassy. The largest incision site was bleeding a little bit so I put a large bandage over it. Still getting up to walk as much as possible. Had about 2.5 oz of broth w/ a small amount of GENEPRO around 430. Going to try a SF ice pop before bed. hope everyone is doing well! Dilaudid ? can I come over? 3 1 3 ChubRub, Krimsonbutterflies, shrinkingkris and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenforr108 48 Posted December 14, 2019 Oh no I hope my taste buds don’t change I’m all about the foods they say we are aloud to have. I’m not a junk food eater just have a non existent metabolism with a lot of health problems that I hope will be resolved once the weight comes off. I’ve got a lot of hope and positive energy and feeling good about all this. My starting weight was 296 and I’m at 255 now hoping to get to 250 in the next 7 days. Do you mind if I ask what surgery are you getting I’m getting the RNY bypass. 1 Krimsonbutterflies reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenforr108 48 Posted December 14, 2019 Hello my friends hope everyone is doing well, I finally made it home they kept me an extra day as I couldn’t be on any pain meds as I have kidney failure and they could damage them more. I was also throwing up a lot. I’ve only thrown up once here at home and that’s because I couldn’t get my chicken broth to dissolve completely and started choking on it which triggered me to throw up. my nutritionist did tell me when I left I was doing so well I could move on to stage 2 when I got home. I do think since the chicken broth didn’t go so well I’ll hold off a few more days. I’m getting 5000 steps in. My pain is getting better but still there. Hard to sleep wish I had one of those hospital beds. My doctor did take me off of10 of my meds which is 22 pills which will help in saving my kidneys😀. Tomorrow’s my birthday the 14th and I’m so happy I had this done the pain will eventually be gone and I will eventually be healthy. As soon as I’m up to it and feeling good I plan on doing a lil shopping with my daughter. My goal is a size 8 2 Slownstedy and Giselle1225 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jenforr108 48 Posted December 14, 2019 Thank you, I’ve been needing to get off of a lot of meds for a long time, they’ve slowly damaged my kidneys, I had a shunt placed in my brain to remove excess Fluid and was told then they would take me off some of the meds but they never did because they said they couldn’t. The shunt was for my pseudo tumor cerebrum condition and I was having seizures. I have a feeling if everything goes well with this they may even remove my shunt at some time in the future. A girl can hope. Dr did mention it to me. Day 3 post op I’m very s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenforr108 48 Posted December 14, 2019 Day 3 post op I’m very sore, and not just my belly my hips and shoulders feel like they have been squeezed tight into a tube or something they didn’t fit in. Lol I’ve been doing a lot of stretches trying to ease this pain. Walking walk-in walking 5000 steps is my goal everyday for now I’ll eventually get back to my 10,000 + when im not so sore. My dog Jalapeño he’s a chihuahua. Appreciates the break too lol. Gonna make a cauliflower chicken broth very mushy Soup today I’ve been dreaming about it for days so I can’t wait to have it. Thanks for the birthday wishes feeling like I made the best decision ever and looking forward to my future. Best wishes to you all and if anyone needs any recipes for Soups I love make soups and I’m pretty creative. Gonna make a eggplant and Tomato one soon. Bless you all♥️🤗 1 shrinkingkris reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JediMom 66 Posted December 14, 2019 This is so exciting seeing everyone’s progression from before surgery to after surgery! Mine is scheduled for Monday and I have to be there at 5:30am. I take my preop meds at 4:30am. I’m so excited and nervous. When I started the program I was 280 and as of today I am 259.8. I’ve lost 10 lbs on the 2 week diet as of this morning. I’m buying some GasX, Stool softener to have that ready at home. They already prescribed me Zofran and Tramadol for after surgery and I have that at home. I want to order the Unjury flavorless Protein Powder but I keep forgetting lol 1 1 ChubRub and Cheeseburgh reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

losingitforever 5 Posted December 14, 2019 I’m scheduled for Dec 20. It seems surreal, as I’ve been on this path since Nov of 2018. I’m really looking forward to getting on with it. Scheduled for a RNY. I am getting RNY on 12/20 as well. I am ready to move forward in this journey as well!
