6 days post op RNY

Dec 13, 2009

RNY surgery on 12/8 went fine.  Found it difficult to get rest in the hospital.  The tip on getting a pillow for your belly was priceless.  I used it in the car ride home from the hospital and it was AWESOME.  I also used a pillow when I had to walk around or sneeze.

The most pain I had right after surgery was the gas they used for the laproscopic procedure and to get rid of it - you had to walk. They blow a ton of gas inside of your body in order to preform the surgery - downside is you feel it right after.

They kept giving me more pain meds but it wasn't going away until I walked which was 2 hrs after surgery and i really felt better.

Today I'm 6 days post op and am following my food list for this week.  I really have an increased sense of smell and yes my tastes have changed dramatically.  I love chicken broth!
