Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Next week will be week 4 for me post op. I doing well so far. Never been sick once. I don't really feel hungry and even when I do which is rare I get full after 2-3 tbs. I do though struggle with what to eat. Any good ideas/receipt for a good diet for week 4?? Also when did every one start exercising?

What phase are you on at 4 weeks?

At 4 weeks I was still eating a lot if Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, tuna, turkey, fish, refried Beans, etc.

I was cleared to get in the pool once my incisions had healed over at about 4 weeks post-op. Swimming is my favorite exercise and I have been in the pool ever since!

I started walking the day after surgery, just adding distance. Eventually about 3 months out, I started training for a 5k using a free app called couch to 5k.

There is a good recipe section on this website as well as a website called World According to Eggface.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
