Recommended Posts

I am able to take sips I must say I get fuller now than I did with the sleeve week one sux if I see another bowl of broth I'm gonna barf I have asked the nurses for one cracker they said no I understand that they are doing their job but seriously 1 cracker smh anyways I am hoping I get to go home today my Blood pressure was out of wack so I had to stay an extra day which is good cause I needed the rest. Anyone else was craving Snacks week one? Or hated the broth? Can I try to incorporate purees when I get home or I have to do this until next Tuesday? Plus I found out the one person I used to follow on YouTube who always had great advise on her sleeve journey in Mexico passed away sux well I am truly hoping to see better results with this surgery cause the sleeve did not work for me at all my surgeon said that he was happy with the outcome! And that I will be happy with my results

I was not interested in any food the first couple of weeks. I followed the plan exactly. The second month I had a dumping episode which was awful, I ended up at mayo emergency.... I seriously do not know what caused it but I think it was not eating slowly.. believe me you do not want to have dumping.

crackers are solid food, you can only have liquids, do what they tell you. You made the commitment to have the surgery & change your life.

Did you get any info from there classes? I have a week by week menu plan telling me what to eat. If not go to https://www.tuftsmedicalcenter.org/~/media/Brochures/TuftsMC/Patient Care Services/Departments and Services/Weight and Wellness Center/GBP Diet Manual12611.ashx

its a fabulous guide for you to follow! It's hard work but you can do it!!

I couldn't do any broth for the first 3 weeks.... I lived off sugar free Popsicle, yogurt, Water and sugar free poweraid. However now I can't drink water and I am 6 weeks post op.. I did crave Snacks and was very hard due to family gatherings and all my favorite foods.. I didn't give in tho I was to scared.. I have lost 23 pounds since surgery. Guess I am at a halt right now haven't lost a pound in 2 weeks lol. Well best of luck. Keep us posted on your journey

Of course the nurses aren't going to give you crackers when you're on a liquid diet. Bet they were shaking their head at you. Follow the diet and instructions given to you. Do not advance your diet early or you'll increase your chances of complications substantially. Make sure you get your Protein in as it aids in the healing process. I'm 7 weeks post op and still don't have an appetite. I'm on solids now. Focus on what you can have and not what you can't have. Best of luck!

If you want to have good results with this surgery, you need to stick to the plan. I have not always done so and my results are not as good and those that do what they are supposed to be doing.

My surgeon really cautioned against trying solid foods early. A few patients of his patients that didn't follow the guidelines and ate solids too soon after surgery have ended up in the ER, and he has even had to go back in and pick solid food out of their staples.

Excellent advice!! I didn't even want anything solid for at least 2 months! I had my surgery Nov 28, 20016 & I've lost 50lbs! Very happy with results!

A big plus is the close monitoring by mayo surgeon & Nutrition dept. over the last 4 months. Although I hated having to go so often I'm greatful for the support!

Did you have a revision from sleeve to rny? How different was it to the sleeve? Any complications? I'm going to see my surgeon next week for a revision from sleeve to rny. Any help is appreciated.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
