They have a lot of ideas on pinterest. You can type in bariatric recipes or low carb recipes if that's what you are doing.

12/7 261.5

i am 26 and had surgery October 22nd.

Thanks for the advice everyone

Tomorrow I'll be exactly 6 weeks post op. Until yesterday the only exercise I've been doing is walking on the treadmill. Yesterday I went to the gym and did an aerobics step class, but I kept getting dizzy. So my question is how did people manage to get back to rigorous exercise after surgery with eating so little? Do you have any tips on what you eat before a workout to help get you through the workout?

Congrats!

Don't see that I was added to the list yet. Can you please add me?? Thanks My weight for today 11/30 - 263.9 My previous weights: Nov 9- 272.9 Nov16- 270.3 Nov 23- 266.8 Goal: 250

Congrats!

Hi, Is it too late to join. I have my previous weigh ins. Nov 9- 272.9 Nov16- 270.3 Nov 23- 266.8 Goal 250 Let me know if you need anything else.

Yes, I think most people have those feelings. You'll be okay. It'll be over before you know it. Good luck!

To me it seems like your doctor's office did not send all the required documentation. The doctor's office should send all the clinical notes from all your visits especially the NUT visits.

My surgeon and I also didn't talk about a goal. I set my own goal.

I've been living off of chili and canned tuna lol...i will try the egg salad soon... Thanks Trying this today. Just went shopping for the ingredients. Thanks!

Anyone has some good good ideas for the soft food stage? I'm so sick of eating the same foods...

It really depends on your insurance company. If it doesn't say anything in the bulletin, you should be fine. I have Aetna and in the bulletin it states that you can not have a net weight gain during the program. I gained weight during the process and was denied but was later approved by appealing.

@@irishaggie Thanks... Going to make some today...I'm so tired of eating the same foods. I need something different.

Would Chili be considered soft foods?

Congrats on your approval!

I'm allowed mash potatoes. I'm 9 days post op. It isn't something I plan on eating a lot once I'm back on regular foods but it's helping me get through the pureed stage.

Good luck to all those having surgery tomorrow....

I noticed if I stand too long my incisions start to bother me but it's not intense. Kind of just feels like pressure on them but once I sit it pretty much goes away.

How are you feeling? Feeling much better today... Having a little gas pain every once in a while but nothing too bad

I'm doing pretty good... I haven't had any nausea. Haven't really had any incision pains I noticed I only really feel them if I stand for too long. The worst part has been the gas and it's much better today.

Good luck...i just had my surgery Thursday

Glad you are doing okay... How are you doing getting your liquids in. I'm having a very hard time. I just have no desire for anything
