Fabulous February Post-Op's



Recommended Posts

Woohoo! Celebrating a 6.5 lb loss this week after gaining 2.5 week before last and losing only 1.5 last week. Effects of Dr. adjusting my bp meds seems to have worn off and "Aunt Flow's" visit probably helped alot too! :D

My salads are typically baby spinach or mixed greens' date=' I've included cucumber, carrots, celery, radish, avocado, and olives at various points with no issue with any. (I can only eat a few baby carrots and I'm stuffed but with shredded carrots on a salad I'm fine). I usually top with turkey, egg white, and cheese so it's a full meal and I've been using Newmans Own light dressings, I have a couple different favors. They're around 45 calories for 2 tablespoons but I don't need 2 tablespoons :).

No tummy issues at all with the salads and Fiber is my friend! Good luck. I'd start small with just a few bites of a single veg and see how you do!

I love baby greens and usually add in cherry tomatoes and chopped cucumber. I use a little oil and a splash of lemon. I put an egg and cottage cheese on top and it's so good. Today I added some tiny pieces of steak. (I used well trimmed rib eye because it is very tender). It was delicious. Just chew really well and you should be fine.

TMI but I realized a few days ago that I no longer feel like I'm going to throw my toenails up when I need to poop! I consider myself officially healed!

I have NO IDEA what you are talking about, but I'm glad pooping is not traumatic any more, i guess? LOL!

As for salads I'm just doing organic baby spring mixed greens and lite dressing. As a snack, it's very filling, and only like 45 calories.

Lol, somewhere on here a while back a couple of us had discussed feeling sick before a BM....until 2-3 weeks ago, every time I needed to poop I'd get SUPER queasy....it was bizarre! But fixed now :)

Wow! Congratulations!

For the past 4 days I've been logging every bite into my mouth, eating mostly Protein, staying under 1000 calories a day, and lost 0.6 pounds. It's not much, but it's better than gaining.

My baby tummy loves salad. Mixed greens with balsamic vinagrette. Shrimp, cucumber, boiled eggs!! I'm so excited.

I'm also loving hummus. Anyone else enjoying that? And, I've been carrying those 100 calorie packs of almonds. They are helping me when I'm out and about and need something quick. Those packs are a good size for a snack.< /p>

My surgery date was February 14, I had RNY and I'm down 83 pounds!!!

      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.
