Going to amusement park and not sweating about possibly not fitting in seat. Also not having to use “test” seat for rides which is embarrassing. I can’t wait! I have been turned away before when trying to buckle my seat belt. 😓

Find healthy ways to eat your old favorites with no guilt. Nutrition is still flavorful.

Nachos - Quest tortilla chips, ground turkey 99% lean, taco seasoning, diced green and red bell peppers, onion, salsa and a small amount of cheese

Pizza - Veggies, turkey sausage and pepperoni (keeps calories lower) Small amount of cheese on a cauliflower crust.

I just had to cancel a work trip that is scheduled 3 weeks post op because the MD said no. However, It was only a two hour flight but I understood and the chance for blood clots was enough for me to just say ok DOC.

At 2 weeks post op we stayed in San Diego for 2 days to go to sea world and the tide pools and i brought an ice chest that we left in the car with things i can eat. At the hotel i was able to warm Protein broth in the microwave and in the cooler i kept Protein yogurt , string cheese, sf pudding and few other things. It went fine. Alittle sad when everyone else gets to eat yummy delicious food and im the one eatting a yogurt with a plastic spoon but o well i tryed my best.. good luck with ur road trip it sounds so fun!

Hello all! I go see my Dr. on the 11th for my one week check up so I’ll ask him. But in the meantime has anyone here traveled 3 weeks post-op? We planned a road trip (8hr drive) and by that time I’ll be 3 wks out. Will only be for 2 days. There will be a lot of walking involved but I can sit down when/if I tire out. This trip is mostly for my kids and this month since I’m off due to FMLA we decided to try. If he says it’s not safe of course we will have to cancel. But just curious if anyone has been in same situation?

I’ve already had slight buyers remorse when I think of random foods i probably will never eat the same again. Like nachos 😨 or deep dish 🍕. But I’ll take being healthy over that any day. I have to mentally snap back to reality. It’s a struggle.

@Ren951 Also remember, just because the calendar says it's time to move on to the next phase doesn't mean your stomach is ready. You may have to stay in a phase longer than planned because your stomach is ultimately the boss!

I just started Protein Shakes in addition to clears and so far so good 🤞🏽 I think I’m having head hunger thus wanting “real food”. I’ve been on liquids for almost 3 weeks now counting pre-op. I didn’t cheat once pre-op so I intend on same post-op. I’m too scared of creating unnecessary complications. 😟

They used a robot which I guess has better outcomes for pain and people go home quicker usually

Congrats! I had mine July 1st. So far no regrets and no complications 🤞🏽 I’m walking 30 mins daily on my treadmill and keeping clear fluids down. Next week I can start full liquids. Hope that goes smoothly as well.

Ok so I guess we all do have similar plans. I guess I’m just anxious to try new things. This first week has flown by already. I should count my blessings so far and stop whining. Lol 🤐 Thx for the replies! 🙂

I hate food police. This is why I don’t wanna tell a lot of people. Some people have nothing better to do then judge and examine other people’s lives. Super annoying. Where I work people gossip too much so I’m really avoiding telling anyone there!

I had RNY July 1st. Anyone else diet plan after surgery calls for 3 weeks liquid? I have one week clear then two weeks full liquids 😩 I want real food lol I see so many others who can have things sooner. Is my doctor just being super cautious?

My surgery was July 1st as well so I completely sympathize with the sleeping. I have yet to get a good nights sleep since surgery. No position is comfortable. Hope this passes soon cause I’m always so wiped out. But I only need pain meds at night to get a little sleep.

I had my RNY surgery July 1st. First time I’m gonna sit out festivities for July 4th but I’m ok with it 🙂 I’m so glad I’m in recovery stage and so far so good! First day was really rough though.

Finally awake enough... Dr said surgery couldn’t have been more perfect when he talked to my fiancé. I Haven’t seen him yet. Slept most of the day... lots of morphine PCA which is helpful. Just got up tonpee for the first time, wasn’t too awful. Because of my csections I had more scar tissue so he had to do a 6th incision. I had RNY. Keeping fluids down. Drank 2oz in the last hour.

Congratulation! Thats good to hear! I was wondering what the pain may be like the day after. It sounds like you're going to have a fast recovery.

Oh and I got RNY not VSG for the list. 😉

I had my surgery yesterday 7/1 and I’m doing a lot better today. Yesterday I had horrendous gas pains in my upper shoulders and hurt to breathe a little. I had to get a hiatal hernia repaired that they found during surgery so I’m also sore from that. But all together I think I’m progressing pretty good. I had RNY.

I’m July 1st as well! Getting gastric bypass!

I am 37, 5’4” and 238 lbs. I’m scheduled for July 1st! Have my final weigh in June 25th. I had to lose 10 lbs. After a few food funerals I’m almost there...gonna do two weeks of liquid diet to seal the deal.
