2 weeks post op today



Recommended Posts

Today I started, as my NUT calls it, "smashed/mashed", basically purees. It was awesome to eat instead of drinking!

For Breakfast I had one egg scrambled with a little grated parmesan. For lunch I had refried Beans with salsa and yogurt.

I was sleeved 11/18. HW 285 SW 266 CW 256

I had no complications and my recuperation has been much easier than I expected. I'm working from home until I am one month out. I still like to take a nap in the afternoon, but I'm walking better and further every day.

I just got sleeved on 12/02... Have any of you heard not to cross your legs after surgery? What type of things did you eat? I get bored of repetitive things

@buttercupbrown... that's what someone has mentioned, said something about blood clots forming. Had me scared I typically cross at the ankle when I'm on the recliner or watching television in bed

      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.
