March 2013 Post Op "A New Life 2013"

[2bhealthy 45]

Ok, I have a few things for y'all:

1. What kind of post op diet are you on?

I'm on a strict clear liquid diet week 1, liquid week 2, mushies week 3/4, week 5 soft foods, and week 6 regular diet. But it seems like some of you are already doing soft foods?

2. Also, feeling really low-energy and extreme difficulty sleeping- anyone else?

3. More of a woohoo!-- I don't know the number yet, but I have visibly lost weight. My face is slimmer, my back jelly roll is gone and I no longer look 6 months prego. It's visible and kinda excited. BTW- I'm 5 days post op! Oh and my shorts sag :-)

I just got cleared to stage 2, full liquids and soft puréed foods with baby foods and blended stuff.

I am definitely smaller but I'm still very swollen and my clothes got smaller with my pre op diet so I'm still enjoying that but in the next day or 2, at this rate, I should be below my pre surgery weight by Friday, which is 40lbs less than I was 8 weeks ago I am now 1 week post op and I'm still managing discomfort and gas but that is all so easy to deal with.

So happy you are happy with your progress!!

I started Stage 2 Puréed Foods today. I've had Greek yogurt, ricotta cheese with marinara sauce & melted mozzarella, and cottage cheese. I'm planning to have retried Beans with melted mozzarella, low fat sour cream & salsa for dinner. It's so great to finally eat something!

Frankly, that sounds delicious!! I'm still stuck on this disgustingly unfulfilling liquid diet!!! I'm open week post op on Friday.
