Two week post-op appointment



Recommended Posts

I am on cloud 9 at the moment. I lost 13 pounds since my surgery so I am now down 43 pounds!

I can now have soft foods so as soon as I got home I made a Hula Scramble (Hungry Girl) and it was DEE LISH!!

I can now exercise as tolerated. It will be a while before I attempt anything abdominal because it is pretty sore still at the port site. But yay, I can start toning up my floppy arms!!

Congrats to you on your post op appointment. I got the same go ahead from my doctor. Never thought chewing soft foods could be so heavenly. Congrats on your weight loss so far too!! Keep it up. P.S. my port site is really sore too and was even more so after yesterday's visit when he checked to find it. Did a lot of pressing.

Good luck!!

Yeah, mine is stinging a bit just from him taking off the streri strips. Luckily he did not press on mine.

I am actually chewing eggs, lol. I think I used to swallow them whole before. ;-)

      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.
