3 weeks Post Op



Recommended Posts

Started back to work a couple day prior to my 3 week post op date! I was SO tired last night I didn't do anything until work tonight! Second day at work went great! I have not had that feeling of hunger since my surgery, wondering if that will ever return? Also anyone have any trouble eating breads or Pasta? I have not tried this but just curious, still in the "baby food" stage! As of today down 32 lbs from surgery, and loving it!!

I have read stories from many people here, that they Have had trouble with both of those things for quite awhile. So at three months out I still do not eat these. The best advice I could give is to wait and when you do try it, just try a small amount.

I am 3 weeks out today as well. I have tried a bite of bread and a some Pasta just to see how my sleeve would handle it and it went down and stayed down fine. I actually have no issues so far with anything I have eaten.

I am 30lbs down since surgery and have been in a stall for the last 4 days, very frustrating.

Maybe I ask what your starting weight was?

I'm 6 weeks out and I can eat 2-4 Pasta noodles. I have not tried bread more out of fear than anything else. I'm not craving it and am sticking the Protein first rule. I don't miss the bread and will put off trying it as long as possible. So far, so good!

30 lbs in 3 weeks? You're doing great! Don't be frustrated, I've noticed I can go 2-3 days at same weight and then all of a sudden drop a few lbs. My weight loss has looked like this: Wk#1: -12 Wk#2: -7 Wk#3: -6 Wk#4: -4 Wk#5:-3

@ Mikeross.

My starting weight was pre op was 317#. As of 02-12-13 I am @ 287# ! I am trilled at the weight loss, so far, but really can not wait to see the possibilities that lay ahead. I will say that I had lost a lot of weight prior to surgery also I did a 7 month pre surgery program, for insurance. My original starting weight was as of 02-21-2012 was 347# so on the program I lost quite a bit. Total down so far is a whopping 61#!!!!!!

I need to get new clothes soon!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
