First Post-op Appt Tomorrow -What should I Expect?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on December 17, 2012. Tomorrow is my first postop doctors appointment. One thing I've learned through this journey is that I haven't been as prepared as I thought I was to ask all the right questions of the right people. I'm still having quite a bit of right-sided pain so I'm definitely going to ask about that. But other than the pain, my question list is pretty much empty. It just seems a little odd. I feel unprepared. I'm not scheduled to meet with the nutritionist but I'm going to pop my head in and ask her a question or two. I'm guessing this appointment is just for them to make sure that my incisions are healing and I'm not having any major problems, correct?

So far here Are my numbers:

Weight at the beginning of my pre-op diet 262.

Weight on day of surgery 253.

Weight today 241.

Mine is where I had gotten the next leg to my diet, I saw the surgeon and the office NUT any way, there was no need to schedule. They asked simple questions no more for me, the surgeon asked about everything covered pain and healing and examined my incisions, I didn't need to have to much to ask but asked about Vitamins and medicines. The surgeon set that all straight. I would not worry so much that I hadn't all the questions, they just may have the answers already you'd need and will let you know whats going on next.

I hope your pain is better soon.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
