I Finally Did it (7 Days Post Op) (Questions!)



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on 19th. My doctor did not request a liquid diet it was high protien low fat and low carbs diet. I got charged from the hospital the next day. Surgery went good (was feeling unbearable Chest Pain that went away after a day). Started my Clear Liquids diet introducted clear chicken Soup with no fats since yesterday. i am down 6 kgs in 7 days did not start doing long walks yet. I need advice for next step what kind of exerciese i should be doing in the first month to get full results. My doctor has me on only 2 Big spoons of whey Protein which is only around 50 Grams which i think is lower than what i should get. i used to weigh 159.5 KGs at the time of surgery and now on 153.5 after 1 week. the questions that is keeping me busy is when will the staple line leak risk and bleeding risks of Sleeve could vanish completely?

I was restricted to "brisk walking" until 2 months post op, but you should ask your surgeon for specific instructions.

My nutritionist dictated I should get in 10000 steps everyday starting on day 5. That is a tough one to crack and have only been getting in about 6k, now I finally hit 10000 steps on my 8th day, and have never felt so good . Get a pedometer and make a goal. I use the wii fit- which makes it more fun

I did not use Protein powder at all, it's only 10 days till you can have dairy products and your body can handle it.

my doctor said I can exercise as much as I can do but do not pull or lift any weights until after 6 weeks.

watch out from dehydration, keep sipping Water all the time.

      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.
