Post Op And Feeling Great!



Recommended Posts

Had my sleeve on 4/12 and surprisingly only hurt for about a day or two. Feeling good when I eat/drink. It's hard being around the people eating other things tho, as my nose still works and it smells great! Haven't weighed myself yet, bug know I already lost weight and am focusing on healing and learning now, not the numbers...YET. Looking for friends to just chit chat with.

I was sleeved on 4/12 also. The smells are there but my sleeve wants no part of it. I'm doing about the same and feeling great. Helped my son mow the lawn last night, but hoping I don't over do it!

Congrats on your new beginning!

sleeved 4/9 and have lost 10 lbs. i have already tried eating cottage cheese, a cracker soggy with veg Soup, and a vienna, (very very small portions of course) and all have went over with no hitch. I felt like if i didnt try those things i would have some kinda breakdwon bc of my brain cannot handle all of these LIQUIDS!!!! ugh. anyways, it has been a lot better than expected and i think the sleeve is just what i needed.

Wow...you're daring! :) I came to work for the first time today, and have done really well. I need to find out from my doctor's office what exactly I need to be shooting for, for Protein, etc, a day. I found these great 3oz Protein bullets, and just want to make sure I do everything by the book as long as I can. I've spent way too much money (all out of pocket), and want this to work so bad, that I don't want to jeapordize anything. I can't wait for Thursday though, as that's gonna be pudding DAY!!! My favorite thing to eat now is sugar-free banana pops. Can't get enough and they're only 10 cals! BOOYAH!

Ya I did here and there, but I felt good enough. I know I need to be cool about it, but I feel great. My fiancé was none too happy when she looked out the back door! hahaha

Eshelden- I looked forward to pudding day too! I actually counted down the days until I could have pudding! I learned though that it became gross if I made the entire packet at once. I couldn't eat the entire package before it became old.

If you buy the instant pudding try adding 1-2 ounces of milk in a small bathroom sized cup and then a teaspoon or two of the pudding mix. Stir it up and put it in the fridge for a little bit. That way you can Then try different favors without getting tired of the same one AND not waste a whole package of yummy pudding. :-)

HaHa- this pudding thing is cracking me up too.... tomorrow is my "mushy" start date and I am freaking salivating over the chance to eat pudding and cottage cheese! NEVER in my wildest dreams did I expect to be so excited about SF pudding!

My NUT is very, very picky about what we eat for the first 6 weeks.... so EVERY new food I want to try I have to get it approved my her first. She only OK'd light mushies today- no animal Proteins (no tuna, eggs, etc). She said next week we can prob expand the list- but she did up me to a 100g Protein goal.

There is a great blog by eggface (google: eggface) about frozen pudding Protein drops (freeze leftover protein pudding in icecube trays for shakes or a sweet treat). Actually.... her site is full of awesome ideas for foods and stuff- its a WLS specific site. Def recommend it for y'all.

I buy the snack packs for my kiddos but if I didn't, they'd help me finish off pudding. ;)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
