Answers to your questons. I am eating three meals a day, 4
tablespoons. For the first two-three weeks Post-op virtually everything
was pureed, except for cottage cheese, and scrambled eggs with cheese
in morning. Sugar free applesauce with cottage cheese has been good for
lunch. They make different flavored apple sauce. For the last week or
so, I have gradually been eating regular food, and so far have had not
even one feeling like I was going to throw up. I actually went through
a buffet line at a wedding, and ate fairly normally, and was very
satisfied. I do not so far have any cravings. I have a passing thought
and desire to eventually be able to eat Chinese food again, but I would
not call it a craving For me, I tend to constipation, and so bowel
movements have been every few days. I need to increase the amount of
water I drink, and I don’t consider it a problem.
I think that the doctor was probably right about the healing being
quickly. However, there are more risks of complications. I can say
honestly that the open surgery was itself painless, and the aftermath
was tolerable, and now have absolutely no pain, and haven’t for a couple
of weeks. I would do it over again,and recommend it highly. The
laproscopic also takes longer, and is more expensive from what I heard.
I would not argue anyone out of considering laproscopic, as I almost
ended up with it myself and am convinced it is safe. But, I am very
glad I ended up with the Open RNY, as I can’t imagine it being any
easier.
Hope things go well with you,
Danny
Hi Danny
Thanks for sharing your experiences with me, they sure helped. And I wish you
all the success in the world ~ a day at a time.
As for me I’m still waiting for approval from my insurance carrier.
I really don’t think I’ll have any problems with them, being that I’m
diabetic and have H/B pressure too.
So that makes my a good candidate for this RNY procedure.
Danny what’s your goal weight? Thai is if you have one.
Take care my friend
