September 23 Surgery



Recommended Posts

I am new to this site. I am now 7 days post surgery. When I started the whole process I was at my HW of 391. DOS was 388. DOR was 372 & this morning was 359! I am on the plan that "solid foods" are still 4 weeks out. "Mush foods" are about 2 weeks out. While I am not usually hungry, I still find I want some food satisfaction! I am getting SOOOOOO tired of Protein Shakes and the limited liquid diet stuff!!!

Any good ideas???

Sugarfree jello...crystal light...I also was allowed cream of wheat (strained and really runny) ...protein shakes and Protein Drinks (syntrax nectar fuzzy navel)...chicken broth...all these made it possible to get through the liquid stage. .

Just remember that this will only last a few more weeks. If you fill that you need more, contact your doctors office. Usually after four weeks you are on mushy foods but every doctor is different. This is a learning life style changing event in our life's although I freely admit I am a slow learner!

Surgery date 9/4/2013 start weight 259 preop weight 238, this week 205

I had 2 ah-ha moments this week! I've been on a 2 week stint without losing any weight. I drink my Water but apparently I was not getting enough. Had a night where I got real thirsty and drank a lot of Water. Ah-ha moment #1. (Things began to move! Hallelujah!!! Ah-ha moment #2 happened today when I hit the gym for the first time since I came home. I walked on a treadmill for 1 hour. That's it! Talk about a movement!!! Between the water & the walk, my stall is now in high gear. So follow the 2 "W's" to keep things "moving"!

HW 391

DOS 372 (9/23/13)

Current 336

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
