10 days post op (its HARD)



Recommended Posts

Omg!!! This is the hardest thing I think I've ever done!!!! I hate to sound weak but this post surgery diet is giving me a run for my money!!! I'm not sure if maybe I'm the only one but when I swallow my food I feel it going down and it kinda hurts! Does that get better? And something I feel the mash potatoes get stuck in my esophagus and I feel that I am about to choke!!! I'm very nervous still about this BC it doesn't look like I can ever enjoy another meal in my life!!! Pls tell me this gets a little better!!! I'm praying it does!!

It does get better!! I'm sorry you are having difficulty. At 10 days post op I was still on full liquids. Your tiny tummy is still swollen and healing so take it easy. Maybe try thinning out what ever you may be eating. Try Soups if you are having a hard time with solids. Or adding gravy to your mashed potatoes. At 10 days, I was living on Protein Shakes, yogurt, and cream soups. Hope you have a happy holidays! Be patient with your sleeve.... It will get easier :)

Your still healing s don't overwork yourself. Try the Soups for another week and sees how it feels after that. It gets better every day so just hold on for a little while longer.

Yes, it gets better. Your tummy is telling you it isnt ready for the mashed potatoes. Listen to it. You need something thinner. In a day or two, try a bite, see if you are ready to progress. But give that tummy a rest!

Hello, I'm 14 days out. Woohoo! Still haven't even thought of mashed potatoes. It gets easier everyday to get down pills and yogurts, go slow. Too early for that. We will get there!

      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
