2 Week Post Op Woohoo!



Recommended Posts

I had my 2 week post op appointment today with my surgeon. it went really well. he said i can now graduate officially to Stage 2 of the diet and I will be on that for the next 4 weeks :)

I decided to the post the foods i'm allowed just in case anyone else is that the same stage in their journey as me. we can share and compare!

Double bonus of the day: I exchanged a pair of pants that got a hole in them and in return got 3 new shirts and another pair of pants. Woohoo!!!

According to my Surgeons scale i was 312 day of surgery ( i honestly don't think they weighed me) because my PCP's scale and my scale at home said 307. I think they went off my pre op weight appointment. Today I was 294. So my surgeon says i've lost 18 since surgery and I cant argue but I'm not going by his numbers lol.

Foods I am Allowed at 2 Weeks out.

Protein-

Fat Free or low fat cottage or ricotta cheese

Fat free or low fat artificially sweetened yogurt-vanilla,key lime pie,lemon chiffon or orange cream

sugar free fat free pudding

Tofu-

eggs,egg whites,eggbeaters (proached,scrambled or soft boiled.)

Hi Tatylish,

Wow, congrats to you. I am three weeks out tomorrow. I went in for my post op appt early around 10 days and doc said I was doing great too. He said I didnt have follow up again until 3 months. I had lost 20 lbs at that point. I've lost 4 more since then and it feels great. He approved me to move up to puréed foods too and so far have tolerated them good also. I am kind of comfortable just doing liquids so have to make me foods to eat. So far I have eaten tuna, ff Beans, puréed chicken breast, and some mashed avocado. I didn't know we could eat crackers yet though. He said basically I could try anything I wanted as long as I tolerated it well and I followed the stages accordingly. I'm still a little nervous to try too much. Thanks for sharing your list. It helps to see and follow others in the same stage.

I'm at the two week mark tomorrow. My doc appt. is not until Friday. Today a nurse called and said I could start soft foods. So excited. Had cottage cheese and cream of mushroom Soup. So much tastier than the liquid Proteins I've had to eat the past 4 weeks. Also looking forward to yogurt and oatmeal. I hope to be able to eat the things on your list after I meet with my Nut. on Friday. I'm not hungry but just looking forward to more variety.

Well just had 2 week post op and my doc says you must have a stomach of steel. Told me in no uncertain terms that was phase 3 for me. Days 22-41. Oh well. Life goes on. I will love vicariously through you. :-)

30 pounds down so no complaints.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
