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'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? 🤷‍♀️
