How are the Post op people doing?

[tagyourit 53]

I am now 1 week post op and just now feeling 100% positive I made the right move. Still struggling with the whole 2 tbsps thing but I think I am starting to get better at it. Did any of you have a "what did I just do!!!!" moment or have any adjustments to make post op?

[GermanShepherdMama 145]

Oh yeah. I'm 6 weeks post op and had complete buyers remorse. I hated myself.

I'm better now. Hah.

Two weeks out tomorrow. Feeling a lot better, but still fighting my energy levels. I've had no problems keeping anything down so I've been able to meet my 70-80 gram Protein quota. My biggest problem is that I really want something other than Protein Shakes. For four weeks now I've lived on shakes, popsicles, Jello and any non-carbonated, non-caffeinated sugar-free beverages. Two more weeks before my next appointment. Doctor says I'll graduate to "soft proteins" then. Happy with the progress, though. It is what makes this all worth it. Down a little more than 30lbs since I started the liquid diet.< /p>

I have to be on a liquid diet six weeks after my surgery.

I've had a bit of a rough go since surgery on June 7. Spent one night in hospital - home on the 8th feeling good. Was readmitted on the 11th because I couldn't keep anything down. Spent 6 days in hospital drinking and vomiting. Finally home again on the 16th. Back to ER on 19th - vomiting and dehydraytion. After more tests, surgery on the 20th to remove obstruction and adhesions. Home again on the 22nd! Drinking, peeing, passing gas and bowels moving - interspersed with sleeping and walking - the life of a cat!

I've always struggled with putting others first and not taking care of myself. That is changing now. I'm treating myself as my own "new born" baby, and asking for help when I need it. A little hard on my pride, but much better for me!

@@Moogle @ Yikes, I am so glad I got moved to the pureed stage at day 7. Still doing mostly Jello and popcicles and other full liquids but the chicken salad and stuff like that helps me feel a little more normal and less What did I just do to myself!

@@waterwoman what caused the obstructions? That is no way to start the new journey. I hope you get some healing done!

That is going to be hard. For me moving to pureed helped with the buyers remorse

So far so good. Just bored with the Clear Liquids. Move to full liquids next two weeks and then puréed/soft foods! Yayyyy! I have lost 18 lbs as of today, since I was sleeved on 6/17/2016

Bypass on 6/6 so three weeks out tomorrow. Spent 2 nights in in the hospital and was ready to come home. 2 weeks of liquids and started pureed 6/20, also was back to work.

Things have been going well, seem to be able to tolerate most the foods I have tried. Taste buds have changed some, can't stand tuna, which I used to love. May have to try it again later. Also seem to have more energy. Finally figuring out head hunger vs actual hunger but still have to battle with wanting to eat when I am tired.

I am super happy with my decision, diabetes is in better control, way down on the number of pills I have to take and some of my aches and pains are gone with the 24 pounds lost so far.
