2 weeks Post-Op Questions and Concerns.



Recommended Posts

Sounds like you need to get in touch with the dietitian on staff at your doctors office. Most of the time they can provide you with a list of foods and quantities. If you already have a nutritionist don't hesitate to call them that's what they're there for. None of us are perfect and they don't expect us to be. Good Luck!

​I AM SO EMBARRASSED TO CALL THEM CAUSE THIS IS MY FAULT I WAS NEGLECTFUL AND WANTED TO TEST MY SLEEVE.

They are there to HELP you. Shame is probably one of the things that made you fat in the first ace. Let go of it. My bariatric clinic has a psychologist on staff. Does yours? If yes go see him/her asap or call the office for an urgent referral.

You can't actually "give up" on the sleeve and unless you want to suture to leek you have to comply with your post op instructions.

I did some web crusing before my surgery and was astounded to see the number of people (women mostly) who proudly proclaimed that they ha e been eating should food since a week post opt. BTW, IT Also turns out that they loose slower and ultimately less weight in the end.

I am concerned that you are not taking advantage of the support available to you. It was one of the things you paid for when you got the surgery. I am also concerned that you where given so little information but you can remedy that by reading posts here and asking questions. Bottom line is that for you're safety and well being you must follow your post op instructions to the letter

      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.
