Eating at 3 weeks post op



Recommended Posts

I am 3 weeks post op. What and how much were you eating at 3 weeks. Also, I've lost 12lbs since surgery, a total of 34 since the 4 week pre op diet. What did you loose by 3 weeks?

I was still on full liquids for week 3, and really tired of them! Are you still on full liquids, or are you on purees?

I tried that ricotta bake before surgery and loved it! Reminded me of lasagna and that was one of my favs. My kids even enjoyed it

I was on full liquids then. And I had no idea how much I had lost as I stayed off the scale entirely until 4 weeks out.

I think I need to get rid of my scale. I have stepped on it every morning since coming home from the hospital and I'm driving myself crazy

Ugh, I'm doing the same thing! Sometimes even weighing myself in the morning and before bed...I need to stop! I gained 0.4 pounds from yesterday and am so upset with myself! I try to keep reminding myself that the sleeve is letting me do better than I ever have before.

I am 1 week post op and starting to venture into puree stage for week two. I am so sick of sweet, I can't hardly tolerate the smell of anything sweet so I've done blended cottage cheese, blended lentil Soup and after having no food at all (liquids) for the last 3 weeks it tasted like heaven lol. I am only eating around 2-3 oz at a time and taking bites about 1/8 of a teaspoon at a time so I am tolerating it well. I found the lentil Soup in the organic section of the grocery store an it is wonderful.

Pinterest has some great recipes including the ricotta bake. I love cheese and lasagna etc, that's what it put me in mind of, lasagna without the noodles ????

      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.
