My post-op appointment



Recommended Posts

Good afternoon everyone,

Went this morning for my post op appointment. It went great! I am down 15lbs since last Wednesday when I was wheeled in for the surgery. So a total of 28lbs lost. Very happy about that! I am almost making my 64oz a day of Water. I managed for the first day yesterday my Protein Drinks. I got one full EAS carb count down. Tried the Isopure pineapple-orange, dear God that's nasty stuff. Got 4oz there. Finishing that off quick and that's off my check list. I asked about having broth-nope that's out. Reason is the sodium-either low or regular will cause weight to stall or climb. Ok-good with that too. I asked about breath mints-because being a ketosis, bad breath is aweful. So Listerine disolving tabs it is. Fine with me as I really like them! My next appointment is March 7th and until then, still Clear liquids and Protein drinks. So it's all good.

Best news to me anyway was when the bandages came off. Underneath, no stiches or staples to be removed. My surgeon used Dermabond. I love him-he saved me from being even more uncomfortable!

So to Celebrate, we went in to the mall and walked! I walked 2 miles today. It felt amazing! I have so much energy. To reward myself-I bought a Fitbit and smaller pants at the sporting goods store-still going to need stretchy stuff until I am healed from the surgery. But I am now in a XL-1X depending on the cut.

So that's my news! It's been a beautiful day-even if it did snow. :)

Lauren,

Got any tips other than that nasty Isopure? Who ever thought that had good flavor in that company needs a reality check. I've got the EAS AdvantEdge carb control. In chocolate Fudge. I need to mix it up a bit-I love chocolate don't get me wrong. But 3 weeks on chocolate only? :blink:

I have only tried the Premier Protein shakes in chocolate, which I highly recommend! But like you I have wondered geez I am gonna get tired of chocolate! They do make a vanilla and a strawberry one which I plan to try but haven't yet! Once I do I will def let you know ! If you try anything that's good let me know as well please :)

        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.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
