Week 3 Post Op - Mushy Foods
SecondChance replied to jasonswartz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started on soft foods yesterday. I made a chicken salad that was delicious. I used 1 can of 98% fat free swansons canned chicken, a littel chipotle mayo, some fresh homade salse (or your favorite salse, and some fat free cheese. Put it thought the food processor and it turned out delicious! -
Turns out the shoulder paid was not gas, it was refereed pain from part of my spleen not getting enough blood circulation. I just got out of the hospital and am doing ok now, but part of my spleen is dead due to not getting enough blood during surgery. Pain should go away in another week or 2. I am 14 days post op and am down 40 pounds!

had to go back into the hospital Saturday and hope to go home on Wednesday if no infections and INR is good.

Anyone Else Too Scared To Get Started?
SecondChance replied to linkybo's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What made me decide to have the surgery was when my doctor told me I would not live to see 40 if I did not turn my life around (I will be 28 on 2/9/12). That scared the crap out of me so since then I have been trying to eat healthy and stay active! Anything you do has a risk, just leaving your house you risk getting hit by a bus, struck by lightning, attacked by a wild animal. You just have to look at the good and the bad. How long will you be around with your current life style? Is this teaching your kids to be unhealthy? Just think of how proud your kids will be to see their mom getting healthy and being able to live an active life style. I have been eating completely healthy for 8 days now and have dropped 8 pounds so far (started at 393, down to 385) and I start my liquid diet on Tuesday! Even if you decide against the surgery, the main thing is that you change your life style and say to yourself, I AM going to get healthy. I hope we can help each other with this life changing decision. -
Day 8 of my diet today and I have lost 8 pounds so far! Tuesday I start my liquid diet so I hope to see more melt off.
