male only Few Days Out

[Shamrock 0]

So I'm only 4 days post op, so I'm just looking for some tips in the upcoming weeks.

I'm down a little bit of weight and that is going well, I'm just still recovering a bit.. I'm still on the Protein with Water and all that, so I haven't chewed anything in a while so it's getting old. How is the eating down the road? Any favorite recipes?

Is anyone back to lifting weights? I'm big into weights and am kinda discouraged that I can't lift for a few months. I feel like my muscles are just wasting away at this point.

Just looking for some different and thoughts.

Thanks

Hey Shamrock. Many of us went back to lifting weights as soon as the doc gave the okay. You know it will be tough at first, but the strength comes back. You will feel so much better without the extra body fat and once you start lifting you will look better and have less loose skin from the weight loss. When I started soft foods, I practically lived on scrambled eggs, finely ground chili, mustard egg salad and oatmeal. But even now at 7+ months out I still have Protein shakes almost every day. I've always liked them and since I'm always on the go they can be very convenient.

Best of luck.

If you miss the chewing...try some Sonic ice with Crystal Light for flavoring or lemon juice or try a Popsicle. Im 6 months out on Christmas day. I eat pretty much anything I want in moderation. I can't eat alot no matter what I get. I usually order the kids meal or $1 menu items and throw away the bread. I also get carry out chinese...usually costs about $2 for what I can eat . Egg drop Soup would be great for you right now. Its filling and tastes great ! Keep up the good job.
