Popcorn After Gastric Sleeve Surgery....
Hassan_AZ replied to illgeturhairdid's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I ate some 6 weeks out, no issues. My Dr cleared me for all foods excluding fried and sweet foods, and carbonated beverages. -
I stopped losing for 7 or 8 days around 3 weeks. The infamous 3 week stall..Google it. It will last for a week or two the the weight comes off again. No worries!
-
my 3rd week was a plateau, weight stayed unchanged for 8 days. Now losing again, down a good 30 pounds since surgery. (Start weight 265 lbs and BMI 38). Good luck!

How much weight? How fast?
Hassan_AZ replied to gpmed's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Today am one month out, down 14 KGS (around 30 lbs). Start weight was 121 KG (266 lbs). Am very happy with circa 12% loss of body weight in 1 month, but rate is now slowing down to 1 KG (2-2.5 lbs) per week. -

How much should I be eating?
Hassan_AZ replied to JerseyGirl34's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I Was Sleeved 29 July. Was on water, juice and broth only till this morning. Doctor cleared me to eat yogurt today and pudding in 5 more days. -
New beginnings, we are about the same age (I am Jan 66) and I think we were both sleeved on the 29th. All the best! I lost around 18 pounds since surgery. Not much pain either and started working (albeit shorter days) from day 5 post op. How are you doing?
-
Am on day 9 as well. Was on water, diluted juice and clear broth till today. Today I was cleared for Yogurt and milk, low fat. In 5 more days I could have puddings. My doc told me no protein shakes till 3 weeks post op. Every doctor has a system..
-
I am one week out as well (sleeved July 29th) and am still on clear liquid diet. Seeing surgeon on Saturday (in 2 days) to hopefully move me to all liquid. Too early for baby food I think (each doctor have their own protocol, mine is ultra careful ₩

Sleeved 29 July. 15 years type 2 Diabetic. Stopped all meds since surgery and blood sugar levels are reasonable (I check several times daily). Am still on liquid diet so I hope I still don't need the meds when I hopefully move on to next nutritional stage. Happy to be off my meds.

How soon did you start driving?
Hassan_AZ replied to Hassan_AZ's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks Jim and everyone who encouraged me. I drove to work today (4 days post op) and it was just fine (I worked shorter hours, not fully there yet). -
Hello fellow sleevers. I just got mine 4 days ago, recovering well, discharged yesterday. I drove a short distance this morning to nearest clinic to get my daily "anti clot" shot, felt very weak and not focused (but made it safely). Any idea when I can drive with confidence again?

I thought you don't take any vitamins yet? @@treed
-
I didn't get a plan yet. He asked me to take 1.5 liters (around 5 oz) of water, clear broth and unsweetened juices for 8 days then go meet him for a checkup. I assume that's when I'll get my nutrition plan. Will wait. Thanks for advice, always great to compare notes.
-
Santiago, have you been prescribed a liquid Vitamin yet? I haven't, but wondering if my doctor forgot. I also got my surgery last Wednesday.

Hassan_AZ replied to Hassan_AZ's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks Treed for advice. July 29th too? I was discharged July 31st (extra conservative doctor, didn't let me drink a sip of water till 2 days post op). Good luck with your recovery. In all fairness I'm drinking well, keeping fluids down, and pain at this stage is negligible. Thank you Shustar! -
My surgery was 4 days ago.. when I woke up it was like someone had punched me in the tummy. Painful but not too bad. I started walking very lightly like 3 hours after surgery (to the bathroom, around the room) and I felt it getting better every few steps. Day 2 is better, day 3 it's just a minor occasional nuisance. Good luck.
-
Am 3 days post op and am ok sleeping on my right side. Left side uncomfortable and sleeping on tummy a bit painful. Was able to sleep on right side the same night as operation, but was being given some tough painkillers. Now I'm on liquid paracetamol which is very weak. Good luck.

how long is the Gastric Sleeve surgery ?
Hassan_AZ replied to boosh10's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery took 1:30 hours but my doctor does his leak test during the operation. I was placed for another circa 2 hours in recovery, so I woke up in an area near operating theater and stayed there a bit before being carted back to my room.
