3 Month Post-Op



Recommended Posts

I am down 71 Lbs since my surgery on January 27th. Unfortunately, I am still not able to really tolerate or eat solids without experiencing pain which has limited altogether what I eat or eat at all.

My doctor suggested I meet with the nutritionist, who simply suggested "smaller portions". Even though portions had never really been the issue.

So now I have to have an EGD done to make sure everything looks okay. They said it could be built up scar tissue that is irritating my stomach.

I have been told that it can take longer for some to heal than others but my doctor said after 3 months, I should be able to handle some sort of solid Protein by now.

Anyone else experienced this? Fingers-crossed I get some answers and it's nothing major.

what surgery did you get? If you can, update your profile with your information on your surgery, weight ect... It helps a ton. You can do that by editing your profile and under the surgery section.

I had the Gastric Sleeve procedure done, along with a Hiatal Hernia repair.

I've also attempted to update that information (both via the app and desktop platforms) but it won't let me.

      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.
