Two weeks out from sleeve surgery



Recommended Posts

I'm 2 weeks out and my surgeon told me to move to soft food. Cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, chili and ground meats are some of the food I can have. I have no calorie goal or carb goal. What should I be aiming for? I dont want to mess this up. Just afraid to start real food.

There's not really a set goal. Just make sure to stop eating when you feel full. You won't be able to eat a lot anyway. I'm 2 months out and I barely get in 450 to 500 calories a day. Make sure to keep a food diary. I try not to do to many carbs at this time but I do indulge in low carb products from time to time.

All you should be focusing on at this point is hydration and Protein, as much as you can get of both. Nothing else matters.

When I was 2 weeks out, I was managing my 64 ounces of Water without issue, and pretty close on my protein. My surgeon doesn't worry about any other macros or calories, but I tracked everything and was consuming around 2-300 calories a day.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
