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.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
