Calories during first 10 days post op



Recommended Posts

Hi all!

Hope you all are doing well on your journey. I have pretty good contol right now with some eating desires but concerned I'm not consuming enough during the day. I had my surgery on Monday so only three days out and only drinking very minimal Water, two 100 calorie protien shakes and drank a regular snapple today because I felt so shaky. What were you guys eating during the first ten day post op period. When did you start getting your appetite back? My husband is eating yummy Indian right now and I have no desire. Thanks for your help!

Congrats on your banding! I am currently 3 weeks post op and doing great! As far as my appitite the first 10 days-it was Clear Liquids & full liquids, like creamed Soups (strained), Water, gatorade, milk with &/or without sugar free carnation instant Breakfast, Jello, pudding, very thin malt-o meal, applesauce, etc...

I didn't have a problem with getting my appitite back, I was kinda slow at eating/drinking at first because I was scared to get a blockage. I am now on pureed foods and doing great & ready for a fill in a few weeks!

Hope this helps! I would contact your dietician through your doctors office if you have any worries about not consuming enough calories. I was told that at this point not to worry about getting enough....should only be getting no more than 500 calories per day.

I was maaaaybe getting 300-400 calories the first two weeks. I starting drink milk shakes and smoothies and cut out the sugar free stuff because I was so weak. My dr told me to do that. I started getting my energy back around week two but even then stuff would just wear me out. Take it easy... You'll fell better soon.

Oh and I didn't have an appetite for at least three weeks.

I was probably getting 250 calories a day. I wouldn't resort to milkshakes (only because i think thats a slippery slope) but I did drink a small glass of lower sugar apple juice when I got a headache that wouldn't quit.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
