4 weeks post op



Recommended Posts

Today marks the day of my surgery 4 weeks ago, I have been in a dark place due to things going on in personal life, but mainly due to what I've done to my body and worried I'll never get my life back, I think the hardest part at the moment is I'm so down and I can't have a drink or party as I normally would when things get you down!, and the number one depressant ATM is the fact I haven't lost one single Kilo in 3 weeks! I'm trying my hardest to stick to my eating plans only protein! Around 600 cal a day, I struggle as I can only have certain break times at work, I'm drinking about 1.5 litres of Water a day I can now keep my vitality tablets down! I see people on here losing so much weight what is going on with me?

Nothings wrong with you. Take a deep breath. Its normal for the scale to stop . mine did for 4 weeks. Its so discouraging. But it will move again. Try and up your Water though it was 8 weeks till I could hit 2litres and it wasn't consistent. Keep at it.

A stall is normal and I think it happens to most of us. My NUTS solution to my stall was 3-4 Protein Shakes only (for about 100 g) every other day. I think I broke it but I’m following that till I transition to solids next week.

      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.
