First one month check-up clear for solid food! woohoo!



Recommended Posts

I've lost totally post-op 22 lbs and just saw my doctor today for the first check-up.

He told me that I should eat solid normal food now and stop with the Soup and soft food. Still no restriction for food excepr candies, sweet stuff and soda.

I took photos of most of my food during one month to show him with the portion (compare to my iPhone), he said I should eat more to lose weight. Now he ordered me to eat my meal in the portion of the iPhone!! OMG, I thought I would die from stuffing myself for that amount of food but actually it's fine. Just make sure to chew well and eat verrrrrrrrrrrry slowly.

So my first solid meal I went for Japanese, 1 small grilled ravioli, 1 beef & cheese teriyaki, 1 table spoon of rice and some green salad with sesame dressing.

Everything's gone in 50 minutes hehe except the rice because I chose to eat more salad instead.

I can exercise, go to swimming pool etc. Oh, I do have to increase also the Water intake from 1 litre to 1.5 litre.

Oh I'm so happy and feel like back to normal again. I'm eating out this weekend tomorrow I was invited to lunch at my friend's and on Sunday, brunch with my inlaws at a restaurant. It's going to be my first meal at the restaurant but my husband will be my buddy. He will choose 2 light dishes that he can eat his dish and help me with my left over, so it won't be too obvious because I didn't tell my family that I had the sleeve done.

Now I feel like the real challenge has just started.

My doctor never gave me calories limit. He is more into the small portion.

He said I should eat a little bit of everything (Carb, Protein, fat, fruits, vegetable) Oh, he told me to eat 1 Cereal bar for afternoon snack for the Vitamins... and I hate Cereal bar!!!

He said I ate too little, I need to eat more to lose more weight.

In the past one month this is the portion that I ate for 1 meal.[a

Aww, sorry to hear that.

Well, my surgeon didn't forbid me from eating natural foof at all and I trust him as he performs more than 300 patients of WLS per year.

Oh, well I wasn't telling you not to listen to your surgeon, I was just telling you what my guidelines were....

      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.
