Congratulations!!

At my three week post op my surgeon told me that it wouldn’t mess anything up if I started then. So I tried and it didn’t hurt while sleeping but trying to get up from that position wasn’t too great.

1.7 miles one way but we made it the waterfall and back! 😃

I also had my surgery in Fresno. I wasn’t required to lose any prior to surgery but I lost anyway going through the required nutrition classes.

I’m taking mine to a consignment shop that I’m also shopping at while going through different sizes. If it doesn’t sell then the consignment shop donates it to local shelters or they will give it back to me.

For purées I did homemade refried beans, deviled egg salad, cottage cheese, yogurt, and ricotta marinaira bites. I had my 3 1/2 week post op a few days ago and begged my doc to be able to add chicken because I was worried about protien too. On my plan they don’t want us to do protien shakes because they want us to get protien from foods instead so I was really concerned. My NUT told me that at this stage they are not expecting me to hit my protien goal yet so that made me feel a little better.

So what are the symptoms of not tolerating what you just ate/drank? My program gave me plenty of information on dumping but not really what to expect if something isn’t tolerable vs normal reactions?

You should still be able to call him even if he’s a hospitalist. To do so, you can try calling the hospital and ask them to transfer you to the hospitalist on-call.
