Had My First Post Op Appointment Today

[ladyscorpion 7]

I had my first post op appointment today. I had alot of questions and as far as the scale goes I didnt know what to expect. Ive lost 17pds in three weeks. My one month anniversary is the 17th. I am able to pretty much eat anything that I want just small portions at a time. I dont have any trouble with keeping my food down or anything like that. I wanted to share this news with someone but I wanted to expess it with someone that would appeciate it.

Good luck all

Everyday truely gets better.

When you spoke to your doctor did he/ she put any restrictions on breads or carbs! Also congrats on your progress!

Congrats on your success! My one month anniversary is the 17th as well and, like you, I have been fortunate enough to have no vomiting or food intolerances. Every day truly does seem to get better.

Thank you for the support, yes when I went to my group class last week to talk about the foods that we should and should not have when starting solid food my nutrionist/dietician advised us to stay away from all soft breads for not until we were three months out She did say that toast would be fine and I have had toast on several occasions and did not experience any problems. We were also advised that we could not eat anything crunchy right now including pickles, lettuce, any raw vegetables, or fruit with the skin on it. I was a little dissappointed in this. I actually enoy eating salads.

I think for now wthat we are really supposed to focus on getting the suggested amount of protien in followed by veggies and the carbs, which I can say I honestly try to do when ever I have a balanced meal for example Sunday i had meatloaf, string Beans, and mashed potatos and I ate them in that order. Now for Breakfast today I must have been hungry I had two turkey sausage patties (13 grams of protien) and 2 boiled egg whites ( 9 grams of proten) so my breakfast was 22 grams of protien out of the suggested 40 to 60 grams..

Hey have you had surgery yet?If not do you have a date yet? My doc said that for the first 6 months I could expect to lose 6 to 10 pds a month, then it will taper off to 2 to 4 pds a month. I have a foot injury that keeps me from being able to excercise right now because I am in a cast, but when I am able I will incorporate some excercise and strength trainging as well. really going to focus on the strength training to help me skin bounce back.
