Hello, I'm 1 month post op



Recommended Posts

Hi, my name is Roxanne and I am from North Dakota. I am one month post op. I had my first fill today. I found out about this site from the nutritional counselor at the clinic. I am looking for other 43 year old females who are also at the same stage as I am. Would like to start a raport with you. So far things have gone well for me. I have managed to achieve one of my goals already. I am no longer taking prescription meds for high bp. I started with a beginning weight of 265lbs. I have lost 22lbs to date. I do have a great support at home since my husband did the surgery 2 years ago. He has lost 143lbs so far!! Good luck to each and every one of you!:wub:

Hey Roxi Congrats! I will be one month post-op on tomorrow and I will get a fill in the afternoon. I am sooooo excited my new way of life.

*How have you been doing since your fill?

*What were your instruction before your fill?

I called my doc office today and they told me to eat a light lunch and not to eat 3 to 4 hrs before my fill and to be on liquids for a couple of days then pureed for a few more then solids.

So I am awaiting tomorrow's excitement.

I just don't like throwing up so I hope that will not be a problem for me.

Well, I will go for now but I did want to say that sorry I am not 43 but I wanted to comment on your post LOL!

Good Luck

Hi, I'm also 1 month post op. Fill scheduled for 10/24. How do you feel? I feel like I can eat anything right now. I'm just waiting to feel that tightness everyone talks about. I've lost 21lbs but at times I feel like I'm starving. Best of luck to you!!

      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.
