1 month post op photo



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I'm 1 month, 1 day post op and have been doing very well! I didn't really care for the pureed stage so now I'm slowly moving on to regular foods- organic deli meats, yogurts, laughing cow cheeses, etc. I still drink Protein Shakes pretty regularly.

The only issues I've had are with bowel movements (as in, I don't have any), a "stuck" feeling in my throat (upped my omeprazole and it went away), and just general tiredness. But I'm cleared to go to the gym now so hopefully that will help me out.

I hope this is the right place to post this- I want to keep a log of my progress. I can't wait to see how I do over the next couple of months!

In this pic, I'm 242 on the left (day before surgery) and 212 on the right. I will be 25 next Saturday! :)

Awesome!!! I'm 14 days post op and 14 pounds down. I can see the loss in my face. I'm happy I took a pre-op picture in the hospital - at least of my face. Your month post op is really visible. Congratulations!

      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.
