Hi All,

Heidi again! I'm now 10 days post-op! I'm feeling really good. I have a question for those similar to me or those who are beyond my stage.

My surgeon is pretty aggressive with our timeline for introducing new foods. Week 1 -liquids, week 2- purée and some soft food (i.e. Cottage cheese, loose mashed potatoes, yogurt), week 3 soft food with not liquid during and after meals ( canned tuna, scrambled egg, 1/4 slice of toast)

I haven't really been hungry, per se, but I want to ensure I am on target with my intake of Protein and calories. I'm averaging under 200 calories and I'm trying to walk.

Question: what are others eating at this point? I have had no negative effects to anything I have tried.

Any feedback would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Hello All,

Wanting to hear how your experience has been since your surgery? Has it been different from what you expected? Hoping it's going smooth




Hi there, your surgery was 9/21 correct? So was mine, just wondering how you're doing.

Hi, my surgery was on September 18th. I'm doing pretty good. I started at 259, surgery weight was 247, I'm at 185 now. Things are going slower. I was exercising more before the weather changed, so hopefully I will get back into it more soon. I was type 2 diabetic, and they took me off all meds for that. I am so grateful for that more then anything. How are you doing?. My goal is 150-160.

Hi there, I have had a few stalls, but overall happy with my progress. SW 229, CW 190.4, GW 170. I struggle big time with taking my Vitamins and Calcium. Trying to improve on that piece.

Thanks Tatt, my mother died from diabetes, it's really a awful disease. I know she's looking down at me, smiling.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
