One week post op.



Recommended Posts

Can't believe it's already been 7 days. I've been back to work since day 5. I feel real good except the obvious pain from incisions and where my port had to be dug out. I've lost 29 lbs since February 4th and 14 since surgery day on the 11th. Two more weeks of liquid only and then onto my running program. Currently weigh 259lbs at 6'1.

I was sleeved on the 11th as well...can I ask, how much liquids are you allowed to eat for the next 2 weeks. I'm limited to 1oz per hour and no Vitamins until I get back to food...is this similar to you?

I am to drink 64 oz of Water a day. 60-80 grams of Protein in shakes. One between Breakfast and lunch and one between lunch and dinner. As for meals. I have cream of wheat for Breakfast. About an ounce or two. Then Soup the rest of the day. Very small. I am on a lot of Vitamins. All chewable from my post op kit bariatric source.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
