What Your Diet And Exercise Will Look Like Following The Procedure



Recommended Posts

What your diet and exercise will look like following the procedure. I am having the sleeve. I want to set up a menu plan. I don't cook so it has to be very easy meals.

And what kind of exercise and when did you started to exercise after the surgery.

I do zumba, strength weights, yoga, machines, I was going all five days and then I stopped for # months and went back on my birthday on nov 8th then stopped again and been back 3 days.

Do you all have menus or a list of food that he eat all the time, like a set eating plan.

Thanks

I'm a month out and I try to have a "real" meal at 7am 1pm and 6pm with Snacks in between. No gym for another 2-4 weeks for me.

Todays meal plan:

wake - Water with pills

7 - cream of wheat with unjury stirred in

10 - 1-2oz egg salad

1 - 1-2oz cubed chicken from a previous nights dinner

3 - 1-2oz cottage cheese

6 - not sure. some kinda meat with a little vegetable

9 - snack - cottage cheese or maybe a SF ice pop if im low on my liquids

In between im drinking Water with some crystal light in it. And i have a Cocotein form Isopure open in the fridge if im low on Protein. I kinda wing it based on how it's going. My goal right now is to work more solid meats in and to really focus on feeling "satisfied" and not get to "full".

I'm just over 2 weeks out.

Exercise is walking, walking and more walking. I'm not cleared for other exercise at this point. Walking is a great way to recover!

For meals, I'm on the pureed stage, so this is what my day looked like yesterday:

Morning - scrambled egg or 1/4 cup oatmeal or cream of wheat

mid-morning - Protein shake

lunch - ground turkey (about 1/8 cup) w/ 2 tablespoons of refried Beans topped w/ salsa and greek yogurt

mid-afternoon - Protein Shake

dinner - finely diced chicken and cooked broccoli (pureed)

Evening snack - Protein Shake

My doc wants 80 grams of Protein minimum - so I will require 3 shakes for the foreseeable future. I can't eat enough to get in much protein, but it's nice to eat food.

I will warn you - at this stage, getting in all your requirements feels like a full-time job. I am constantly looking at the clock because you can't drink 30 minutes before or 30 minutes after a meal or shake. It gets cumbersome. But, every time I think it's annoying and OMG, I can't take it anymore...I look in the mirror or step on the scale and I see a difference. Totally worth it!!!!

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! 😞
