Hi guys, so I’m 2 weeks post op and yesterday mid day all of a sudden I couldn’t taste or smell anything, I already had covid test before surgery and was negative, and I’ve been home pretty much ever since, I’m hoping I didn’t get covid from the hospital somehow 🤔, anyone else have any similar problems? Going to go get tested again just in case. Wish me luck!

Thank you it helps!

Unfortunately all post op instructions vary according to your surgeon's and dietician's guidance. I had sleeve surgery 7/27/20 and thia is the schedule I am on:
Weeks 0-4: 1-2oz liquids every 15-30mins
Weeks 5-8: 3 tablespoons(1.5oz) puree..no red meat no veggies..cottage cheese consistensy. Very moist very soft
Weeks 9-6mos: 2-3oz (limit 1 oz fruit and veggies) ground beef okay now. No other red meat or starchy veggies (corn, peas, potatoes).
6months+: 4-6oz (1/2-2/3 of meal should be protein). All meat and veggies okay now. Limit starches to 1 oz.

40 days post-op and I tolerate these foods well and don't rely on my shakes anymore thanks to Isopure whey Protein isolate added to body armor lyte drinks. I was dying trying to drink pp shakes..they took me forever to finish. The body armor lyte is a thinner liquid sports drink:

Day1--------------600 calories
2 cheese sticks
3 turkey sticks
2 16oz body armor lyte plus protein powder
2 16oz water

Totals for day 1:
Protein 77g (goal 60g-75g)
Carbs 39g (goal 30g-60g)
Fat 28g (goal less than 30g)
Sugar 4g

Day 2-----‐-----------542 calories
2 turkey sticks
2 eggs
2 16oz body armor lyte with protein
2 16oz waters

Totals for day 2:
Protein 72g (goal 60g-75g)
Carbs 40g (goal 30g-60g)
Fat 22g (goal less than 30g)
Sugar 6g

I had my one month post op last week and the dietician said im hitting all my goals but shed like me to only eat 3 times a day and drink Protein Shakes still in between bc im pretty much snacking on 1oz portions of food all day instead to meet my goals. I, too, feel like im lost and just wingin' it here trying to find what works for me. As long as the scale goes down im happy:) hang in there and ull figure out what works for u!

I’m so excited that my surgery was approved. All I have left before scheduling my surgery is to take my pre op nutrition class. I’m almost to the Losers Bench. Lol
