5 Days Post op

[violgarodriguez 3]

So today Im 5 days post op. I can’t really bend and have to move slowly because one of the incisions is causing alot of pain but it has gotten better. Today i weighed myself and I lost 18 lbs in 5 days! Im really in shock and cannot believe it. My rings no longer fit me. Im drinking 2 shakes a day trying to do 3. Drinking lots of Water and I eat chicken broth once a day. I have Jello but only really ate it one time. I also have been having sugar free popsicles which have helped me with nausea ( no more than 2). I feel good so far I feared that because of the lack of calories i would be weak but surprisingly I get up early and have lots of energy! I can’t wait to start going to the gym!! I have been having alot of cravings of even stuff i wouldn’t eat before. I think once i can eat food i would be good in making the healthier choices but being around food and seeing food when you cant eat it boyyyyy it is a test! But, seeing the scale today has kelt me motivated and I will not ruin this! P.s What did you guys eat/drink your first two weeks??

Just Protein Shakes. Drank some Pho broth. That was amazing. I couldn't do the broth like beef or chicken. It was to plain for me. Averaged about 60 to 80 grams of Protein a day.

Yes. The one by my house is amazing. It changed everything for me. It was my dinner for a week. Lol. Now in suppose to be on purred foods but everything has been going great so I'm doing soft foods. My next apt is on Friday. So I hope he doesn't get to mad at me. I've done what everyone said. Dont push it and pay attention to ur stomach which I do.

Congrats!

Today is Day 6 post-op for me. I'm doing great. No/little pain, able to bend and squat, am walking every day. I eat Protein Shakes, liquidy yogurt, broths. I'm getting in about 74g Protein, 20-25g carbs, and around 400-450 cals per day. I'll have 1 sf Jello, and 2 servings of broth, sometimes 4oz of V8 with lime and celery salt. Pho broth sounds delish! I'm doing fine on my liquids...but I'm very ready to have purees! I have no problems swallowing--even big swallows. I see the doc on Thursday, but I bet I have to continue until Tuesday a week before I get to progress to purees.

Day 8 for me. I can have Gatorade so I drink 12 oz of that a day. I do 16 oz of broth a day with two scoops of Unjury chicken flavor Protein Powder (42 oz of protein). I drink one Muscle Milk pro a day which is 32 oz of Protein. And Water.

Am losing about a pound a day.
