Fabulous February Post-Op's



Recommended Posts

Woohoo! Celebrating a 6.5 lb loss this week after gaining 2.5 week before last and losing only 1.5 last week. Effects of Dr. adjusting my bp meds seems to have worn off and "Aunt Flow's" visit probably helped alot too! :D

My salads are typically baby spinach or mixed greens' date=' I've included cucumber, carrots, celery, radish, avocado, and olives at various points with no issue with any. (I can only eat a few baby carrots and I'm stuffed but with shredded carrots on a salad I'm fine). I usually top with turkey, egg white, and cheese so it's a full meal and I've been using Newmans Own light dressings, I have a couple different favors. They're around 45 calories for 2 tablespoons but I don't need 2 tablespoons :).

No tummy issues at all with the salads and Fiber is my friend! Good luck. I'd start small with just a few bites of a single veg and see how you do!

I love baby greens and usually add in cherry tomatoes and chopped cucumber. I use a little oil and a splash of lemon. I put an egg and cottage cheese on top and it's so good. Today I added some tiny pieces of steak. (I used well trimmed rib eye because it is very tender). It was delicious. Just chew really well and you should be fine.

TMI but I realized a few days ago that I no longer feel like I'm going to throw my toenails up when I need to poop! I consider myself officially healed!

I have NO IDEA what you are talking about, but I'm glad pooping is not traumatic any more, i guess? LOL!

As for salads I'm just doing organic baby spring mixed greens and lite dressing. As a snack, it's very filling, and only like 45 calories.

Lol, somewhere on here a while back a couple of us had discussed feeling sick before a BM....until 2-3 weeks ago, every time I needed to poop I'd get SUPER queasy....it was bizarre! But fixed now :)

Wow! Congratulations!

For the past 4 days I've been logging every bite into my mouth, eating mostly Protein, staying under 1000 calories a day, and lost 0.6 pounds. It's not much, but it's better than gaining.

My baby tummy loves salad. Mixed greens with balsamic vinagrette. Shrimp, cucumber, boiled eggs!! I'm so excited.

I'm also loving hummus. Anyone else enjoying that? And, I've been carrying those 100 calorie packs of almonds. They are helping me when I'm out and about and need something quick. Those packs are a good size for a snack.< /p>

My surgery date was February 14, I had RNY and I'm down 83 pounds!!!

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
