I Finally Did it (7 Days Post Op) (Questions!)

[Mousa 1]

I had my surgery on 19th. My doctor did not request a liquid diet it was high protien low fat and low carbs diet. I got charged from the hospital the next day. Surgery went good (was feeling unbearable Chest Pain that went away after a day). Started my Clear Liquids diet introducted clear chicken Soup with no fats since yesterday. i am down 6 kgs in 7 days did not start doing long walks yet. I need advice for next step what kind of exerciese i should be doing in the first month to get full results. My doctor has me on only 2 Big spoons of whey Protein which is only around 50 Grams which i think is lower than what i should get. i used to weigh 159.5 KGs at the time of surgery and now on 153.5 after 1 week. the questions that is keeping me busy is when will the staple line leak risk and bleeding risks of Sleeve could vanish completely?

I was restricted to "brisk walking" until 2 months post op, but you should ask your surgeon for specific instructions.

My nutritionist dictated I should get in 10000 steps everyday starting on day 5. That is a tough one to crack and have only been getting in about 6k, now I finally hit 10000 steps on my 8th day, and have never felt so good . Get a pedometer and make a goal. I use the wii fit- which makes it more fun

I did not use Protein powder at all, it's only 10 days till you can have dairy products and your body can handle it.

my doctor said I can exercise as much as I can do but do not pull or lift any weights until after 6 weeks.

watch out from dehydration, keep sipping Water all the time.
