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'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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
