One week post surgery



Recommended Posts

Today marks my one week post gastric sleeve surgery and I could not be happier! I am down 12 pounds this week. I am doing well getting 64 ounces of Fluid in a day in reaching my goal of between 30 and 40 g of Protein. I have been drinking the Premier Protein shakes which are 30 g of protein and only 1 g of sugar. And then also I live on chicken and beef broth because I love it! I eat a lot of Popsicles and Jell-O neither of which are sugarfree base on my physician stating I needed a little bit of the sugar for the carbohydrates, as I am a diabetic. Or at least I was a diabetic before the surgery we will see how it goes. 12 pounds can truly make a huge difference as you can see from the picture belowD5561FF1-F316-4663-8516-130CF9D8BEFE.jpg

The first picture was taken in a week before surgery the second was taken this morning!

How many days did it take you before you could return to work? I am considering the surgery, but I just started a new job about 8 months ago and I don't want to be out too long. I have an office job with no manual labor, would it be possible to have surger on a Friday and return to work on Monday?

I had the same issue, 10 month. Had VSG on 6/7 was back at work 6/16. Scheduled back 6/14. And then only for 4 hours. It was a lot harder for me than I thought. It took me awhile to bounce back. I still have my job but would definitely wait. If you're worried I would schedule it for a Friday or Monday at you 1 year anniversary, when hopefully you get a week off.

      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.
