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....

        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!

      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
