Getting better everyday
RNY on 09/17/12
Well, I'm now 3wks out and I have to say, I don't feel as nauseous when I get up in the mornings. I thought that would never pass!! I'm still not getting in all my protein, but I'm able to eat a bit more so hopefully that will pick up. The scale still isn't moving like I would think it would be....me not eating a lot and everything....but I'm hoping that will pick up soon. Overall I feel fine and people are starting to notice....I didn't lose all the weight post op, some was pre op.....but they notice. So, if you're right out of surgery, hang in there. It gets better even if you think it NEVER will.

OMG I feel ur pain!! My Dr. put extra tight stitches next to my belly button because he didn't want me to get a hernia, it felt like everytime I would bend it felt like there was someone in there pinching me so hard it took my breath away, I also felt the pain when I had gas & my surgeon's nurse said to use Milk of Magnesia (get cherry flavored at Wal-mart it's the best the regular flavor is gross), this helped the gas subside & I felt much better, it wasn't until about the 4th week that the pain started to go away however, I am 5 weeks out & still take the Milk of Magnesia cause I still get gas & can feel a slight uncomfortableness. I'm gonna say what everyone said to me "each day will get better"!! Hang in there!!
