It is always a relief when things are going well. The anxiety and waiting can be hard. May your journey be blessed as you continue.

Congrats, that's awesome! I'm 4 days out and have had the same experience I was super tired and sore for 1-3 days, but I'm feeling so much better this morning. Let's get it!!!

Yes these first couple of days are tough because the assumption is the soreness should get better faster but I have to remind myself of the gravity of what we did. It is not like a cut that got stitched up. There are outside and inside stitches and my body definitely reminds me. But I am glad it is done and I am excited about my future. Congrats to you.

Ok so I am officially over 1 week post op. I am down 10 pounds from the day before surgery and I am walking with pain but not nearly like it was just 2 days ago.

One thing I am struggling with however, protein shakes were introduced on Sunday however they are so sweet tasting now. The sweetness is actually making it hard to drink them. But like everything else I will push through it because it is a process.

Glad you are making such good progress. Having such a positive attitude is a definite plus! Congrats on your wonderful weight-loss results already. Those lbs not only are gone, they are gone forever. Thanks for the update.

Unjury brand had savory flavored powder. Chicken soup, and like a southwest (I forget what it is called). I only tried the chicken soup and didn't care for it but tons of other people rave about how good it is. You could give these options a try?

So I apologize for not posting anytime recently. I actually had to undergo another surgery on 7/16 that was tied to the RNY.. So I am 2 weeks post op for that and 4 weeks post op RNY. Now drinking anything is hard for me. I am getting alot of my fluid intake from drinking decaf tea and SF Popsicles. Plus side is I am shedding pounds! This process is tough and kudos to all that have gone through it!! Trying to stay optimistic and keep mind focused on the end result

Sorry you had to have a second procedure, but I really admire your optimism. It doesn’t sound like it has been a easy time for you.

 

[NotTheEasyWayOut]

Thank you! It has not been easy but it could always be worse so I am making sure to remember that.
