September 23 Surgery



Recommended Posts

I am new to this site. I am now 7 days post surgery. When I started the whole process I was at my HW of 391. DOS was 388. DOR was 372 & this morning was 359! I am on the plan that "solid foods" are still 4 weeks out. "Mush foods" are about 2 weeks out. While I am not usually hungry, I still find I want some food satisfaction! I am getting SOOOOOO tired of Protein Shakes and the limited liquid diet stuff!!!

Any good ideas???

Sugarfree jello...crystal light...I also was allowed cream of wheat (strained and really runny) ...protein shakes and Protein Drinks (syntrax nectar fuzzy navel)...chicken broth...all these made it possible to get through the liquid stage. .

Just remember that this will only last a few more weeks. If you fill that you need more, contact your doctors office. Usually after four weeks you are on mushy foods but every doctor is different. This is a learning life style changing event in our life's although I freely admit I am a slow learner!

Surgery date 9/4/2013 start weight 259 preop weight 238, this week 205

I had 2 ah-ha moments this week! I've been on a 2 week stint without losing any weight. I drink my Water but apparently I was not getting enough. Had a night where I got real thirsty and drank a lot of Water. Ah-ha moment #1. (Things began to move! Hallelujah!!! Ah-ha moment #2 happened today when I hit the gym for the first time since I came home. I walked on a treadmill for 1 hour. That's it! Talk about a movement!!! Between the water & the walk, my stall is now in high gear. So follow the 2 "W's" to keep things "moving"!

HW 391

DOS 372 (9/23/13)

Current 336

YAY ME!!!!

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
