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



Recommended Posts

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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
