3 Weeks Post Op

[tmoss 33]

I had my surgery 3/26/12 and I'm 44lbs down I'm having a really hard time deciding what to eat. Has anybody else dropped weight this quickly?

Congrats tmoss on your surgery and results.

Your loss is usually a percentage of your pro-op weight.

You loss comes from many source : Interstitial fluids, fat in the liver, muscle mass and finally fat from all over the body.

You are probably on liquid post-op diet, so you should do mainly liquids.< /p>

What worked for me is clear Soup (fish, meat, chicken without the actual flesh) I did add very little noodles.

I also did vegy juices, diluted fruit juices, and mixed juices, all natural, freshly prepared at home.

In the morning I make the juices and fill-in a couple of bottles and store in the refrigerator for the day.

It gives and excellent boost of vitality.

The corner stone of my post op diet is the Protein Shake that I prepare with skimmed milk and 1/2 a banana.< /p>

Wow! 44lbs in 3 weeks? That is great! How is your energy level?

[tmoss 33]

I know from reading the posts on the boards that different surgeons have different post-op diets and the length of the phases differ as well. My surgeon told me Clear Liquids for a week, full liquids for 2 weeks, mushy/soft foods/blended foods for 2 weeks and regular foods starting my 6th week.

Keep checking in the forum, I am sure you will find some ideas as well.

Good luck Lezzielez its not bad at all the hardest thing for me was the needles lol I have a phobia that I'm dealing with. I think you are making a good decision and follow the doctor's order and you will be fine.
