April Operation Buddies

S!NNER · April 23

How did you all go with your Protein target after surgery? Im trying to get as much as possible, 100g but ideally 145g.

I gotta say. It's hard!

My surgery day is April 30th. Bypass. Anyone share that date?

Had my sleeve surgery yesterday

The recovery is rough… a lot of pain, really painful bloated feeling, just slept on and off for 24 hours

morning after I feel much better, can walk around but really struggling to take any liquid, it’s very painful / uncomfortable to drink - was everyone else similar?

So I was 6 days out from VSG surgery when I tested positive for COVID-19.

I mostly feel fine, apart from my throat. It's really prickly and sore. To the point that I am really struggling to get anything down. It has gotten worse over the past 12 hours, to the point that I'm wondering whether the remedies I have used (Saltwater gargle, sugarfree difflam) have done more harm than good.

My weight loss clinic doesn't open till Monday. I am really struggling here! 😫

4/15! RNY

Good to hear. I am 11 days post op and feeling pretty darn good as well. It was rougher than I thought it would be…I also had a hiatal hernia repaired at the same time. It’s amazing how our bodies heal!

Off and running 🏃‍♀️

Wow well done guys, sounds amazing progress

I had my surgery 6 days ago… I’m sipping around a litre of Protein Water and tried to have a bit of really thin Soup with some added Protein Powder but I’m really struggling with the pain as the food / water makes its way down - really hindering me reaching the intakes I should be.

Still, I just keep telling myself it is what it is, I keep trying and I’m sure my body will heal enough to get what I need soon.
