September Surgery

[mergte 39]

Hi All! Surgery was 9/1. Spent two days in the hospital and stayed home a week from work to recover. I had my follow up appt tomorrow to see if I can move on to my puréed stage, lost 20 pounds so far!

Hi All,

Heidi again! I'm now 10 days post-op! I'm feeling really good. I have a question for those similar to me or those who are beyond my stage.

My surgeon is pretty aggressive with our timeline for introducing new foods. Week 1 -liquids, week 2- purée and some soft food (i.e. Cottage cheese, loose mashed potatoes, yogurt), week 3 soft food with not liquid during and after meals ( canned tuna, scrambled egg, 1/4 slice of toast)

I haven't really been hungry, per se, but I want to ensure I am on target with my intake of Protein and calories. I'm averaging under 200 calories and I'm trying to walk.

Question: what are others eating at this point? I have had no negative effects to anything I have tried.

Any feedback would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Hello All,

I'm 5 days post op and I still really hurt. I am having problems getting in my Protein and Water for the day. Any suggestions?

Wanting to hear how your experience has been since your surgery? Has it been different from what you expected? Hoping it's going smooth

Hi there, your surgery was 9/21 correct? So was mine, just wondering how you're doing.

Hi, my surgery was on September 18th. I'm doing pretty good. I started at 259, surgery weight was 247, I'm at 185 now. Things are going slower. I was exercising more before the weather changed, so hopefully I will get back into it more soon. I was type 2 diabetic, and they took me off all meds for that. I am so grateful for that more then anything. How are you doing?. My goal is 150-160.

Hi there, I have had a few stalls, but overall happy with my progress. SW 229, CW 190.4, GW 170. I struggle big time with taking my Vitamins and Calcium. Trying to improve on that piece.

Thanks Tatt, my mother died from diabetes, it's really a awful disease. I know she's looking down at me, smiling.
