Questions galore



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

im 3 weeks out and I have so many questions. It's my birthday in 3 months and I love prosecco! What will happen if I drink it, I'm aware it's gassy I would just love to have a glass. I do like vodka, can I have cranberry juice or tonic? I spoke to the dietician and she said gin and tonic is a good one.. but I'm confused because that is carbonated?

When is it ok to start the gym?

Is there a website that anyone can recommend where I can find recipes for the soft food stage? And for when I'm back to normal?

Sorry for the questions but thank you in advance :)

I got approval for the gym at 2 weeks with a weight limit of 10 pounds until 6 weeks. Check with your doctor though.
I got approval for alcohol when I asked at my 8 week visit. I have had wine twice- definitely more sensitive to it. See how the sugar in juice makes you feel. I haven't had juice yet, but have eaten fruit- the plums taste so foo to me! No problems with them at all but so far I tolerate most things well.
Check out the eggface recipes on Pinterest. She has one for ricotta bake that is really yummy.
You can also just put gastric sleeve recipes on Pinterest and there are some great recipes/
Good luck!!

Thank you so much! Shall I check with my GP or my surgeon?
Yes I've heard wine is what everyone seems to be going with. But I love prosecco however is it the bubbles that are bad for me? Should I be staying away from it and just stick to wine?!
Thank you I'm going to check Pinterest now x

The bubbles might be painful. I hear someone say they drank some soda and was in pain for an hour. Maybe let it de-gas ( go flat) before you drink it/

I would definitely ask your surgeon about when you are cleared to exercise, your regular doctor would not be able to tell you that.

Also ask your surgeon about alcohol. Many practices have different recommendations. My surgeon did not clear me for alcohol until 6 months out.

I am a little over 14 months out and the bubbles from prosecco and Moscato don't bother me now but they may have 3 months out from surgery.

I don't remember where I got my soft food recipes from but for regular food I usually use www.skinnytaste.com and www.emilybites.com

      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.
