Had my RNY Wednesday. Got home this afternoon. Very surprised at how smoothly all went. Very little pain. Just still a little sore taking deep breaths. Doing a lot of sleeping, so haven't been getting the liquids like I should. But overall, feeling good. One member of the surgery team told me to take a weekly picture because I will be surprised at how fast I will see the changes. Excited I have finally started my new life.

Congrats! I'm glad everything went smoothly for you. I was surprised too at the lack of pain. Besure to get your walking in that is very important! And yes the body will be changing quite a bit from now on.

Thanks all! Been sipping away. Went to gym today to enjoy A/C treadmill. Too hot to go outside. Need to keep working on getting protein in. I think I worry that I'm over filling myself because everytime I take a sip of a shake, it feels so heavy. Do slow goin on those. But better today than yesterday. So that's progress!

I'm so happy that you are doing well. Sip and walk, as they say. I should be there with you on September 16th.

Congratulations and welcome home. I'm sure it feels good to be at home. And welcome to the losers bench, we've kept your seat warm!

The healing powers of sleep are amazing. Get as much rest as you can and be sure to drink and walk in between resting. If you're still sleeping a lot next week, call your doctors and let them know. Your energy level should start to increase as you heal.

Went to a cookout last night and had fun. Was sipping away at my water and protein shakes. This morning out and about again. Feeling really good. Still working in getting required fluids in. But better daily. :0)
