July 2013 - Post Op Thread



Recommended Posts

I had my 2 week post-op appt yesterday. Everyone is pleased with my progress and weight loss (20 lbs.). NUT says I can now start "soft textured" and "moist" foods like chicken, turkey,fish,casseroles,corn or rice based cereals, fresh and frozen vegetables.

Looking forward to it!

Had my first post op visit today. I'm one month out. I've lost 28lbs in 31 days. Nut and Surgeon seemed very eased with progress. I was released to exercise and start puréed food list. I had tuna salad for lunch today. Even though it was only about four small bites it tastes like heaven but feels like i ate a side of beef! Hope I can keep it down. I'm so looking forward to kitting the pool again. We are heading to the lake tomorrow so I'm planning to swim the whole weekend :-)

I had surgery July 22. My daughters sixth birthday was this week and the cake is still here (that's hard) this weekend we have a family reunion that I helped plan so I have to go. What's really bad is most of my family is overweight and one of my cousins even tempted me with pepperoni off a pizza at my daughters birthday party. I said my head tells me to devour this pizza but I can't. She said why don't you take a piece pepperoni and hold in mouth just to get flavor. (She weighs over 400). I am eating egg drop Soup but that's about it. The drinks I liked before surgery now seem so thick and unbearable. Pray for me!

I agree! You don't realize how many food shows and commercials are there until all you can eat is Protein Shake and jell-o! lunch time at work is hard too, all the smells :) I am still preop, sorry for creeping in your thread, but I am looking for inspiration :)

I feel the same way as you all do. I had surgery july 22 and can't wait til I can eat a scrambled egg!! I have people that have tempted me the past week, I did have an emotional breakdown over a tator tot but got over it quickly!! It definitely is a head thing! But I'm staying strong.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
