One Week Post Op



Recommended Posts

Well today is my one week post op day and things are going well. I weighed today and I am down 6.2# from my weight the day of surgery so if you add in the 6 Fluid pounds I left the hospital with that is 12.2# since last Thursday. I feel really pretty good.

I need to get back on the elliptical today for the first time....don't know why I am so resistant to doing it but I need to get my big girl panties on and JUST DO IT. Don't see my surgeon until next Thursday so shakes and Clear Liquids it is. Getting a little (more than a little) tired of them after 3 weeks but I know it is important for healing.

So happy that this site is here....it helps a lot. Hope everyone has a great day.

hang in there Miz60 it gets so much better very soon.

If you have not discussed that elliptical with your surgeon you might just skip it till your follow up appt.

Just walk as much as you can everyday till you get released for more intensive workouts.

      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.
