awesome 1st post op visit



Recommended Posts

i was a bit nervous today about my first post op visit. i had figured i had lost some but not even close to what showed on the scales. i was banded on the 21st. the last weigh in was on the 15th (286). I have lost 13 lbs since surgery (273). yipppeeee! the visit was wonderful. i got to talk to the nutritionist. about a snack between lunch and supper. i got to eat my first scrambled egg today and it was divine. after our dr visit my husband and son wanted chinese so i looked at the buffet and looked at the menu and spotted egg foo young. scrambled eggs with veggies. they brought out 3 huge patties. i got less than 1/4 of one patty down and i was full. it was the best scrambled egg i have eaten. granted it was fried but sooo goood. i brought the rest home 1/4 it up and vacuum packed it for a quick lunch to take to work. that is what i am going to do with my doggie bags that i bring home from a restaurant. then i have mini lunches to just grab and go. i hope everyone else has had a great 1st post op appointment. tomorrow will be my first day back at work. Good luck and God Bless!:D

I go in for my first check up on Wednesday and I'm a little nervous. I've lost 11 pounds which makes me happy but I'm hoping I get my first fill at this visit.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
