JUNE SURGERY BUDDIES

[Acrostic35 2]

I am seven days post. Just had two teaspoons of mashed potato today. I think the surgery has changed my tastebuds.
I am at the point I want to chew and have something small. I have made a few jellies which are very easy on the gut. Also anything beats Soup.

I totally agree. I did the same thing I was so hungry and I was only 4 days out I went to the Chinese restaurant and ordered me some egg drop Soup and that gave me life, I was able to chew the very soft eggs as well as sip the broth. Nothing taste the same, I started before my doc put me on it. And I'm doing better and still losing weight. I'm eating canned salmon and canned chicken with light mayo what a big difference it makes. The only have issues in getting the 56 ounces of liquid down I get up by 6 am to start drinking any liquid and finish by 11 pm its so hard because sugar free stuff do not taste good to me anymore.

Hi all. I’m scheduled for sleeve Friday the 30th. Doing well with the pre surgery diet. sugar free popsicles are a big help. Also found I really like the Atkins shakes.

Good luck to you Doreenarbo, you'll do great, I'm 12 days out and my doc already got me on soft foods, with Vitamins and stuff

I feel old at 55 doing this. I went straight for the DS surgery because I want results and don’t want to go back for more weight loss surgeries (skin removal is a possibility). I definitely don’t want to do that again. I had complications after my surgery on the 14th. I was in the hospital an extra 3 days. I didn’t want to post and scare anyone but I’m a week out from surgery now and doing much better. I just need to figure out my eating/drinking schedule since they can’t be done within 30 minutes of each other.
I am super excited for the results. From max weight before the pre-surgery diet to now, I’m down 25 pounds!!!

I've got you beat age wise. I'll be 58 in August, lol. The complications have resolved, but I am soooo tired. All I do is sleep. I go back for my 2 week check up the 27th. Hoping I can move onto egg salad and refried Beans. I'm not really hungry, I just feel weak and think I need some food.

[Carla Ogwin 91]

I've got both of you beat Try 64 and my sister is 68 now that's older but guess what, at least we're doing something about it and giving our bodies a chance to live

So, it’s been a weekend. I’m in AL so the heat and humidity are insane. Yesterday we went to see the Savannah Bananas. I stood in the blazing sun and heat for almost 2 hours before we could go through the gates. I was close to passing out. Finally got to our seats and immediately had the hubs find me some Water. I poured some on a napkin and even down my bra 😂 Don’t judge. Lol. Thank goodness our seats weren’t in the sun. After I was out of passing out phase hubs went and found me some shaved ice which was amazing. There was no food there I could eat, so I had snuck in a Protein Bar and it was melted and I ate 2 bites and was good until 730.

Today ran some errands. Had one egg over medium for Breakfast. Protein Shake for lunch. Then decided to take a walk at the state park. Again SO hot. Did almost a mile but it was just too hot. Came home had a Popsicle and figuring out dinner. I made hamburgers out of some ground sirloin. I made me a patty of under 2oz and put half a slice of American on it, and a tablespoon of baked Beans. Didn’t finish it and so far, my stomach is good. Yay meat! 🤣

6/7. I ended up eating just over an ounce and it took me a while. I made sure it was super tiny bites and I chewed forever. Lol.

[Carla Ogwin 91]

Ohh ok I was a 6 days later ok I can't wait to eat regular meat like a burger, I'm eating the salmon and chicken in the can that is real good

We had surgery the same day and I’m so ready for meat. Hopefully Wednesday on my 2 week check up they say I can have meat cuz a girl is ready I’m over this liquid. I’m not eating enough Protein with this liquid there’s no way.

Hi friends! Just had my dietician appointment I am now on the pureed stage! I have never had any other milk but cow and I am a very picky person. What's the best tasting plant based milk for someone like me?

I absolutely love unsweetened vanilla almond milk. The downside is it doesn't have much Protein. Until recently, I had not had cows milk in several years, as I've used almond, and even unsweetened plain for cooking, and no one was the wiser.

Hi all! I had surgery on 6/13 sleeve to bypass revision. I was struggling with the liquid diet and I had some fish (cod & salmon) in small portions but only 10/11 days post op. I feel an aching pain in my left side all of a sudden but am passing stool so I dont think a blockage. I didnt lose any weight on my 2 week marker, I remained the same. Did I damage something? Also having a hard time knowing when I am full.

Good luck to everyone out there
