3 weeks post op



Recommended Posts

Yaaay so today is my 3 weeks post op!! And thank God I'm been feeling good. And now even better that I got a call from my docs that I can slowly start introducing reg foods! Yaaaaay me!

I was anxious for this day to come, and now that its here I'm happy bit scared as well. Hopefully my stomach can take having reg foods now. Hope they don't make me sick.

Oh and I see my doc on Friday! :)

Thanks :)

The weightloss I think is slow. It's been close to 8 lbs. I thought I would be more. But hey I will take 8 lbs anytime lol

I think I've lost more inches than lbs because I see the big difference in my clothes. I had this new dress I wanted to wear for Xmas but I never fit into it. And now it zipped up sp easily!!

So slow but will get there I guess. Let's see by Friday when the doc weighs me, see where I'm at :)

Yes, slowly but surely. And my skin feels thin ( if that makes sense) and that's a good feeling :)

How are the reg foods going down? Is your body handling them ok ? How is a typical days diet? Do you still have to take sips?

      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.
