My post op check up was today!



Recommended Posts

So i went in at 11am for my post operation check up. I lost 3 lbs, I was happy with that, surprised it wasnt more given my diet the past week but I am okay with 3lbs. The appointment went great they gave me all of my information for the mushies stage, which I start next week, Monday at the earliest. Then I am on that for 10-14 days and then its soft foods for 10-14 days. At first I was thinking how the heck am I gonna do this? But now I have really thought about it and I have decided I will definitely do it! I did not go through this surgery in vain, I WILL do what they tell me to and I WILL lose the weight! So I am outta here now to go make a wonderfully yummy dinner for my family, LOL!! Then I am off for my walk, oh and my next appointment is on Sept 23rd and they said I will more than likely get my first fill then.

Have a great night ladies, hope everyone is doing GREAT!!

Thats great that every thing is going well. I think the hardest part of this is going to be cooking dinner for our families when we are still in the liquid or mushy stage:drool:

I'm so glad to hear everything is going well. Yup, the post-op diet is no fun, but it's definitely worth it. Hopefully the mushies will make you feel fuller faster and you'll drop some more weight. But don't worry about it just yet :blink:

      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.
