10 days post-op and eating well.



Recommended Posts

Yesterday was my 10th day post-op and I can honestly say that I am eating great. Yesterday morning I ate 1/8 cup oatmeal with a 1/4 cup mashed bannana in it and 2 packets of Stevia. Went down wonderfully with no discomfort. lunch time, I ate a 4oz airfried chicken breast with lemon pepper. dinner time, I ate 4oz Salmon with old Bay sprinkled on it and a splash of lemon with 2oz green Beans. Everything is going well. I just skipped the puree stage and chew to a pulp. Can't feel my incisions anymore. No discomfort from the surgery at all. That's my update. I really hoping that everyone else is doing great as well.

Great. Kind of the same process here. Can you fill out your stats, so people can watch your progress.

I've been trying to figure out how. Under my avatar I see the area, but when I go to put my info in it won't allow me to. Is there another way?

So jelly! I'm on three weeks liquid, three weeks puree, THEN I can start having actual food! My surgeon is VERY strict about following that timeline.

I didn't advance to a regular diet until day 43 or 6 weeks. I think it really made a difference!

Glad things are going well for you. I'm surprised you can eat that much, but if it works for you, that's great.

I put in what it would allow. But my stats are blank and for some reason it won't let me change them.

Top right your name with the down arrow --> Surgery information (I'd suggest Surgery type and date), then save at the bottom. Then on the left pick the "Progress" section and enter height, current weight, goal weight, starting weight, and set "keep my weight private" to "off". Then save at the bottom.

Thank you, had to fill it out my tablet. Wouldn't work on my phone.

I'm trying to maintain the muscle mass, so Protein is really my main priority.

      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.
