I had my 2-week Post Op check up today!



Recommended Posts

I had my check up today. All is well. I've, since my surgery on March 21st, 2016, have lost 20 lbs. So far so good. She approved me for soy foods. I tried a little bit they're making me feel nauteous. How do you fight beyond that in order to start eating food? I feel better with Water but I cannot live in that alone. I tried to drink a Premier Protein drink on yesterday but it made me nauteous as well. Any suggestions or advice? **PLEASE RESPOND!!**

keep trying different Protein Shakes, its very tough in the early stages to find things you like and can tolerate. for me it was vanilla premiere shakes it had to be ice cold. now i cant stand vanilla and prefer the chocolate. again the colder the better. i also like cottage cheese and its packed with Protein. i am 4 months out and can tolerate pretty much anything. i couldnt say that at 1 month out. its trial and error in the beginning. good luck

On The Fence 2- Thanks for that. This really helps. This is my first day eating food. I will take it really slow right now. I REALLY have to get the hang of it. It feels like everything I try to eat stops mid-point between my chest. I hope that stops.

Have you tried cream of wheat or items that type of texture. I like Syntrax nector Protein Drinks. They taste like crystal light rather than milk. They are 100% Protein with no carbs or fat. I do like them (and all liquids) really cold. I mix them and then keep them in the fridge for a few hours.

I had my 3 month post op today, all is good. I can tell you the food/drink you can't tolerate this week may be ok in a few weeks. My doctors have a gradual week by week diet of foods to add back, and it all seemed to be very gradual increases in texture and thickness.

I didn't think I would like cottage cheese (name and texture thing) but its not bad and was way easy on my stomach. I actually ate it as a kid, but stopped until after my sleeve.

Agree that trying different Protein shakes is key but don't write them off totally if you can't hold one down now. The premier shakes are huge Protein boosts and worth sampling later, or breaking up through a day to get your protein. I was always ok with that brand so I haven't tried to many others

      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.
