My experience..



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on Sept 16th at 8:30 am.

So far, I cannot complain one bit.

After surgery, I finally got into a regular room. I was only hooked up to a saline bag.

I walked around, drank my 1oz liquid a hour, & did everything myself.

I came home yesterday around noon & with that, I was drinking 3oz liquids a hour.

These are my only issues so far & I would love ANY guidance into this.

Right now, I am on the Day 3-7 diet, which is 'thick' liquids. My Doctors paper states I can have 4oz up to 5 times a day.

So far, I opened up a can of cream of chicken strained. It is delicious & I am tolerating it well.

Also, I can start Protein shakes, plus I got to make sure to have my 64 ozes of Water.

My Doctor wants me to have 60g of Protein & my 8 cups of Water a day.

If I am only limited to 4oz of 'thick' liquids, then how can I get my protein in?

Does the Protein shake not count towards the thick liquids?

I just had 3oz of sugar free pudding b/c I had to take some medicine & they didn't give me liquid so I had to chop it up & mix it. (Gag).

Any help would be great.

Thank you so much!

I drink a shake over a 3 hour period. I pour myself 4oz and slip on that between Water. I've been doing this twice a day to get my 60 grams of Protein in. I am currently 8 days out. Hope this helps! ☺️ premiere shakes are 30grams of protein a piece.

Guidance?? Sounds like you got this under control! Keep following your doc's instructions and don't let the scale play mind games on you!

I don't have a scale. I'm worried about not getting enough Protein a day.

So I can have a few shakes with Water?

Sounds like you are doing well. I would clarify with the doctor that it's 64 ounces of Water and not Fluid. If it's Fluid, pretty much all liquids count. If not, then you'll have to get more creative. I would add a tiny bit of Water to the Protein drinks. I also added plain 0%Fage greek yogurt to my Protein Drinks to up the Protein. I liked them cold so in addition to adding a tiny bit of water, I also served them over ice. It helped me get in more water.

Otherwise you sound well on your way. Congrats!

      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.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
