3 weeks Post Op



Recommended Posts

Started back to work a couple day prior to my 3 week post op date! I was SO tired last night I didn't do anything until work tonight! Second day at work went great! I have not had that feeling of hunger since my surgery, wondering if that will ever return? Also anyone have any trouble eating breads or Pasta? I have not tried this but just curious, still in the "baby food" stage! As of today down 32 lbs from surgery, and loving it!!

I have read stories from many people here, that they Have had trouble with both of those things for quite awhile. So at three months out I still do not eat these. The best advice I could give is to wait and when you do try it, just try a small amount.

I am 3 weeks out today as well. I have tried a bite of bread and a some Pasta just to see how my sleeve would handle it and it went down and stayed down fine. I actually have no issues so far with anything I have eaten.

I am 30lbs down since surgery and have been in a stall for the last 4 days, very frustrating.

Maybe I ask what your starting weight was?

I'm 6 weeks out and I can eat 2-4 Pasta noodles. I have not tried bread more out of fear than anything else. I'm not craving it and am sticking the Protein first rule. I don't miss the bread and will put off trying it as long as possible. So far, so good!

30 lbs in 3 weeks? You're doing great! Don't be frustrated, I've noticed I can go 2-3 days at same weight and then all of a sudden drop a few lbs. My weight loss has looked like this: Wk#1: -12 Wk#2: -7 Wk#3: -6 Wk#4: -4 Wk#5:-3

@ Mikeross.

My starting weight was pre op was 317#. As of 02-12-13 I am @ 287# ! I am trilled at the weight loss, so far, but really can not wait to see the possibilities that lay ahead. I will say that I had lost a lot of weight prior to surgery also I did a 7 month pre surgery program, for insurance. My original starting weight was as of 02-21-2012 was 347# so on the program I lost quite a bit. Total down so far is a whopping 61#!!!!!!

I need to get new clothes soon!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
