10 days post surgery and full of questions



Recommended Posts

Well it has now been 2 weeks since I had my surgery and everything seems to be going ok. Except for the kidney infection (anyone else get one of these after surgery), I have been feeling ok. I was wondering if anyone else had an issue with being afraid to drink or eat anything after surgery? I seem to have built up this fear and now I seem to be stuck in place with no idea how to move forward. My doctor is unavailable for a least a month as well as the surgeon who did the surgery so information is something I have had to get from online sources. Any help will be much appreciated :)

I am also aware that soft foods may be eaten starting week 3 but not sure what qualifies as soft food as many websites tend to contradict each other. Any pointers from seasoned members is also appreciated :) Getting enough Protein seems to be my biggest issue since Protein shakes have never really been something I have liked.

I am very postitive and look forward to meeting people on this great site. Thanks and have a great day!

some soft foods that you could try are refried Beans, yogurt, sf pudding, basically anything that is pureed.< /p>

I lived on homemade Soups and Greek yogurt in the beginning, also try Protein Shakes just take everything SLOW. Good luck!

I bought the Unjury chicken flavor Protein and the unflavored protein to add to Soups. It's a good way to get in Proteins without the shakes since you don't like Protein Shakes. Good luck.

      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.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
