Surgery blogs



Recommended Posts

I know there are a lot of blogs out there by people who have gone through the surgery, but most of the blogs I've found on my searches are from people who are quite far post-op and either at goal weight or a few years in. I was wondering if anyone could give links to newer bloggers who are perhaps pre-op but near, or recently post-op?

Thanks very much.

Have you tried searching youtube? There are several people there who have posted their weight loss journeys. Before my surgery I watched several people from the beginning to present time of their journeys. I was able to see a lot of different aspects of what happens after surgery. It was a big help because I knew beforehand that I shouldn't expect things to be perfect. It was also fun to watch people shrink! I always watched the videos from oldest to newest.

Thanks for your answers guys! Unfortunately internet in my little city in Indonesia is not good, so streaming videos is kind of problematic. I can do it on my phone (which is faster) but it uses up my data. For that reason written blogs are more appropriate for me.

Thank you for sharing though, if I do get an opportunity for a more stable connection I'll check things out.

Does anyone know of any written blog that are early in the process?

      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?

      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.
