One Year Or More Post Op



Recommended Posts

I know many on this site are new but looking for those who have are are now facing the challenges of being post op for a year or longer. Right now food tastes better, goes down easier and the types and variety of foods we could not eat before we can now.

Would love to hear how your doing - both positive and negative.

I am 16 months post-op and things are going well. I have changed my shopping and eating habits and now primarily eat Protein and vegetables. I eat very few starches or processed foods. I still measure my food and weigh myself every day; if the scale is up, I cut back a little and take a few more walks. It's not difficult for me right now to maintain.

Negatives--When there is something I really want to eat, I have a tendency to eat too fast and end up spitting for an hour. I am trying to get better as it's my problem and other people might not do the same thing. Also, I gave blood twice in the early post-op months and have spent the last year trying to get my Iron reserves back to where they belong but they refuse to go up.
