Had my 3 week post op!!



Recommended Posts

I can not believe it has been 3 weeks since surgery!! I am down 25lbs since day of surgery and feeling wonderful.. I get to start back on Salads in 11 days "1 month mark" I started my chopped meats last week and have been progressing from there. Everything is feeling wonderful, and from what I gather it only gets better from here. I can't believe I am actually loosing the weight.. It feels AMAZING!! I get to start back at the gym with light weights "5lbs max" so that will start the toning process. It's been a rough first 3 weeks, but not anymore.. I have decided my body is going to do whatever it wants to do, it's up to me to make sure I get the right foods in. I am so so thankful for Dr. Chung and his staff.. They have been amazing people.. Just wanted to share my update..

Congrats!! So happy for you! I will be at 3 weeks this coming Thursday and am struggling with what foods to eat. Everything just makes me disgusting because I have NO appetite. Any suggestions for me?? Congrats again!

I just left you a post on your topic.. Hope it helps some.. Always remember follow what your doctor says, and try to push the mushies if that's what you are on. Don't get down if you are only able to get in a bite or 2 before you are finished "our tummies are tiny now" Drink plenty of liquid and always try to get Protein in first!! I am 3 weeks out and I am down 25lbs since surgery. Which the doctor said is amazing at this stage!! Find something that will settle your stomach first, and then try to get in a couple of bites as you go. It takes me a good 30-45 minutes to take in 3-4 maybe 5 bites depending on what time of day it is. Don't stress yourself.. Your body will adjust to the new changes eventually.. It's up to you to make sure you are getting in the right nutrients and food your body needs to recover/loose weight.. Best of Luck!!

      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.
