Hi everyone. My DS was March 31st, so as of today I am 7 days post op. I decided to have the surgery after the death of my aunt last year. I want to be healthy and to be around for my children. Other members of my family have had the gastric bypass, and both had regained weight. I researched my options before I made a final decision and the DS was best for me.
Before I made a final decision, after meeting the nutritionist I changed my diet completely to make sure that I can stick with it and I could, I was eating healthier pre op and lost 20 before surgery.
The first week post op diet is a little difficult but once you get use to it, its not so bad. I find that keeping a journal of your intake is very helpful in making sure you are getting what you need. I am looking forward to seeing what the weeks, and months post op will bring.
