I had my op on Monday feeling stupid for doing this to myself

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

We totally feel your pain. Days 1-5 post-op were extremely difficult for me. Very depressing. Your body is going through an enormous change right now, much of which involves hormones so it may feel like you are on an emotional roller coaster. Hang in there! By day 6 I felt a huge change in my attitude for the better. Today was my first day on soft foods...I had a teaspoon of cottage cheese and a teaspoon of mashed potatoes. ...Both filled me up and tasted like heaven, and I have much more energy!!!! It WILL get better. Remember why you made this decision in the first place, and picture yourself in the future, many sizes smaller, healthy and happy! And lean on this group for support, everyone here is wonderful and it has helped me a lot.

Don't feel bad, I did or do, too. Everyone says it gets better. I will say it has, just trusting I did the right thing.

THE CARD

This is a card that many offices provide to us, and other surgical patients probably, the wording can vary by office. Basically, it states that the individual with card had a stomach surgery and cannot eat large portions, they should be permitted to order from the children's menu due to medical necessity.

I saw the card from my office at class but keep forgetting to pick one up, though I couldn't eat a children's meal now yet anyway!!!

I need one of those cards... I picked up a number of flavors of Chobani yogurt (believe it or not never really had yogurt in the past) and will be doing a taste test later today... Getting sick of drinking stuff but I'm only another week until puréed, then soft foods after that so progress is progress either way.

@@popoop penny, hang in there this whole thing is a process. It gets better, I promise.

We should pick a time and all meet up in the chat on here. I've popped in to the chat room every now and then and always been the only one in there.

Anyone around tonight, Thurs July 7th ? Maybe we could meet 9pm EST / 8 pm CST / 7pm MST / 6pm PST ?

Love chobani, but with such small servings trying to avoid sugar as well, have relied on Oikos Triple Zero. 15g Protein, so my 2 ounces is a little over 5g!

Had my first week app on Tuesday and said everything looked great! He said I am clear to swim, which I found odd since I see a lot of people have to wait a lot longer. I'm on full liquid and really ready to move on! I go to soft foods this weekend. But just curious why we can't have fruit right now? Would a few bites of watermelon be a bad idea? I had my surgery on the 27th

I was sleeved on the 29th. I think I'm doing great for the most part and I have yet to go to my 1st post-op appointment.

It is my understanding that fruit requires to stomach to work harder at digestion which wouldn't be good for healing. Soft, canned fruits are on my list for week 4. Also, watermelon is pretty fibrous and stringy so I would keep that for much later.

Haven't posted in a while. Today is post op day 17. I been clear for purée. Feeding good. Down about 20lbs so far. I tried so far, Cereal, scrambled eggs, chili, meatballs, egg salad, chicken salad, humus. So far I been able to tolerate all of it. Though I don't eat a lot at all. The cereal I let sit in the milk a little longer. Another week and I'll start incorporating real foods.

Hmm okay thank you! My list says can fruits in juice and Water are okay week 3 along with melons and ripe bananas. That's why I was curious on the watermelon.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
