May Surgery Buddies

  • Popular Post

Hi All,

Currently, my surgery is scheduled for May 3rd. I was wondering if there were any other people on a similar timeline who I could buddy up with for support and discussion. It will be covered by the insurance IF the results of my sleeping test were negative. I find that out on Thursday. Then the surgery is a go ahead for the 3rd. I am anxious about both.

I’m so happy to be home. My sleeve was yesterday. Surgery went well but I did not like the hospital so I’m relieved to be home.

Welcome home. I was scared to leave hospital but improved the moment I got home. It was very uncomfortable in there and I am also so happy to be home and managing myself. I hope you are feeling ok. I am day 4 post op and feeling so much better each day.

I couldn’t wait to leave the hospital. I feel so much better at home.

got my bypass on 5/10! Finally starting to get more energy but I am so sick of only full liquids. My program allows the pureed stage next week, and I honestly can't wait....

I’m on puréed for 3 more days. It’s not that glorious for me. All my choices make me nauseous after small amounts ? my plan says: eggs, ricotta or cottage cheese, fat free refried beans.

Hi all - I hope everyone is doing well. I had my post op follow up with my surgeon this morning. He actually cleared me to begin my pureed diet today at 11 days post op plus all vitamins/supplements. That little bit of egg with cheese and salsa was quite possibly the best egg I've ever had... and I'm not even fond of eggs. I've tolerated my shakes well over the past few weeks, but I have to admit I've become tired of them over the past few days. Obviously I'll still need them, but at least I have a little variety. Now to figure out the best way to manage this pureed diet. Eating 6 small meals a day is such a foreign concept to me. Anyone care to share what you're doing for your pureed diet?

My doctor has me on 10 days clear, 10 days full liquid, 10 days pureed then solids. I am taking in a lot of fluids, more than 64 oz. I has around 80 g of protein. I would like something more filling. Like yogurt. I sent a message to ask about advancing to full. My doctor is in Mexico.

So many different plans.

I just had my pre op nutrition class and the plan they have for me is 2 weeks liquid, 2 weeks pureed, and 2 weeks soft.

Y’all got it made! I just started puréed today and my surgery was in April

Had my surgery yesterday. Still in hospital, hopefully I will be discharged tomorrow. I'm sore and tired, but my vitals are good. Time for another nap
