Complications after following the post op diet ??



Recommended Posts

Hi! I was just wondering if there were any sleevers that still ended up having a complication after they followed their surgeon's instructions and diets correctly. Im so worried about leaks, as im reading that some have had one even a month out of feeling great! I start soft foods tomorrow and Im sooooo ready for it. But im scared too. What are the chances of following the post op diets exactly, and still end up getting a leak? :(

Congrats on almost hitting your 2 wks :) My dr says that the leaks are most likely to happen, if they happen at all, in the first 2 wks. Since you progressing to soft foods (I also did a few days ago) make sure you choose things they really ARE soft.. and chew chew chew chew to the consistency of applesauce. I started off with 1 bite... and waited 5 minutes. .when i felt ok i took another waited a minute or 2 and so on and so forth. You will know if its not going down right, or if your tummy doesnt agree with your choice lol. Some good things i had were ff refried Beans and ff sour cream (you can also add enchilada sauce to the Beans, its really tasty and helps loosen them up. I also did deviled eggs, soft scrambled eggs with egg beaters, and ive started doing turkey slices with ff cream cheese. So far, nothing I have tried has given me issues.. except i was so excited about turkey and cream cheese that i swallowed too soon and ... yeah I learned my lesson. lol otherwise, no issues. :) just chew chew and chew.

When you first transitioned to soft foods, how much were you able to eat in one sitting? Thanks for your info!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
