Hello- post op concerns



Recommended Posts

My surgery was on the 20th of November and my doctor has me on soft foods and I am allowed dark chicken. I was on liquids for 4 days after I came home. Did this happen to any one else? I lost 15 since surgery.

Dark meat chicken is usually mush more moist than the white meat. I was not allowed chicken until I went to solids, but, if your Dr. ok'd it, then I would just take it VERY slow, chew until there is nothing left to chew....and only try a couple of bites and see how it goes. Just do not over do anything on your stomach, you are still healing, and want it to heal well!

That's great about your weight loss---now some of it might come back as you introduce more food, until you can up your exercise a bit. But it will go away again. Keep up the great work!!! And welcome to Bandland and another BIG welcome to LBT!!!

Feel free to hang out and ask any questions you have, we will try to help you along!

Welcome.

I was allowed fish but was warned to definitely stay away from beef the first month. As long as you are following your Dr.s orders you should be fine.

      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.
