LOL...It's like waiting for the other shoe to drop! So far, so good...I spent 2 nights in the hospital following my RNY...nixed all pain meds and switched to Tylenol about 30 hours following surgery...Felt pretty drained when I woke up on the 4th day, but as always, I started searching within to find a way to get over this. It suddenly occurred to me that I had not been getting in even 20 grams of protein since surgery. The Isolate No Carb drinks that suited me Pre-OP made me gag Post-OP...Finally, someone went to Vitamin Shoppe and bought me Lemon Tea flavored Syntrax Nectar...mixed in the blender with plenty of ice and a couple of Splenda's! Wow!!! Kinda like a fruit tea! After drinking the daily required amount, I felt tremendous...the bloating seemed to subside somewhat and I stayed up doing different tasks in my home till 2:30 AM...More energy than I have had in months!!!

I have been extremely blessed...no nausea and so far no depression or sense of  "What have I done?" LOL True to my surgeon's statement, I am losing about 1-1.5 lbs. a day at this point...Even cooked breakfast for my kids this morning...they were amazed...asked if I didn't want to eat...I said "no...I'm not even hungry..Besides, I'm going through a lot...Gonna get my money's worth!!!" LOL

Just thankful that God has carried me thru this journey so easily thus far and praying that this is the beginning of a new life for me! Good Luck to everyone else out there!
