Portion of Food, 9th day post op



Recommended Posts

Hi there, I'm now on 9th day post-op.

I'm just concerned about the portion/amount of liquid food (now only Soup and yogurt).

I didn't have neither food or drink until the 4th day post-opI started small around 2 tablespoons per meal but the last two days I felt so tired with low energy so I decided to increase the amount to 3.5 Ounces for lunch and dinner,

I eat 4 times a day but for the afternoon I eat a bit less than other meals.

I'm not hungry. I eat for energy but it's weird that I don't feel the pressure of fullness neither!! Now I'm not sure if I eat too much or not enough?!! > <

Could anyone please advice me on this?? I'd highly appreciate it. Thank you.

PS. From 1-5 days post op I lost 7.7 lbs, then I lost between 0.9 - 2 lbs per day.

So far I've lost 12.98 lbs.

Full liquid only (no restriction except 1 glass of juice only allowed in the morning which I don't drink) & 1 litre of Water per day.

Eat slowly at least 45 minutes per meal.

Eat 4 times a day on fixed hours.

At the hospital they served me 1 cup of tea or coffee + sugar for Breakfast

For lunch & dinner was clear or liquid Soup & plain yogurt & fruit pureed

Now I eat only yogurt, fruit pureed and soup.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
