Question for a vet



Recommended Posts

I am currently in the Outer Banks with my family and loving my time here. I have had a textbook recovery and will be 7 weeks out In a few days. Do you think it is ok for me to do whatever I want as far as playing in the surf, body boarding etc? Am I considered healed?

I was back at 'em far sooner, so yeah, so long as you listen to your body I'll bet you're ready to go.

Congrats on your new sleeve and have fun!

I was released to any kind of exercise, etc. at six weeks out and had no problems. You should most definitely be well healed and ready to enjoy yourself at seven weeks. As long as you are feeling good, you should be fine.

I'm about as far out as you but my dr said 6 weeks and then go back to strenuous things so I would say as long as you are feeling up to it and have the energy go for it and have fun!!

Thanks for your replies. I thought it was fine, but after being so cautious for so long, I thought I would see what you guys thought. The outer banks is off the coast of NC . It's like heaven to me❤

      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.
