I'm on 4th week post surgery



Recommended Posts

I've only lost 10 lbs initially but nothing since. I'm getting very discouraged. I also can eat more than I thought I would be able too. I ate a whole sandwich without any discomfort. Is this the way it should be? I think I'm the only person this hasn't work for.

Babsey, at three years out I cannot eat a whole sandwich. Please take it slow and easy. I hear it is pretty dangerous to over eat. I have no bread in my house, so I can't be tempted. I think eating carbs will make you crave more carbs. I do remember being on puréed food at six weeks post surgery. Good luck, and if I were you I would discuss with your surgeon and NUT.

4 weeks out and eating bread? i have 2 weeks full fluids, 2 weeks puréed then on to soft foods. i think it is to soon for sandwiches. also get a food scale and weigh out what you should be eating. you may not have the full feeling could be swollen still

You are going to make yourself sick. Your stomach is still healing.

I am 1.5 years out and just ate a sandwich today. It was a small one made out of a rap and it doesn't feel pleasant.

You might want to take it a bit slower! :-)

It will be 4 weeks for me on Tues and I'm eating pureed and soft foods and I can eat up to a 1/2 cup of food three times a day and all of it is Protein. I've lost 26 lbs, I notice if I do too much I feel nauseated! I can't imagine eating a whole sandwich right now. Are you not drinking Water before and after your meals? My surgeon said to not drink anything 30 min after your meal because it will flush it away and cause over eating.

This is a troll or someone who is unwilling to make change

I won't even be allowed to have bread on my food plan. Like most, I will be on liquids for 2 weeks, pureed for 2 weeks, soft foods for 2 weeks and then regular foods. Regular food includes 2 oz lean Protein and 1/4 cup vegetables. Carbs are of the devil!!! lol

My plan also doesn't allow bread until week 8 and then only in moderation. 4 weeks out I'm on pureed.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
