Almost 2 Weeks Post Op RNY!!!
Guys!!!!!! I'm doing AWESOME guys!!! I feel so great! And GUESS WHAT!! Ive lost 21 pounds!! Yep! I started at my highest weight ever of 242. Then after the all fluid diet I went into surgery at 227 lbs, (be sure to use low/no sodium broths!!!!!!!) then at post op week 1 visit I was 223lbs!!!! I've lost a pound or two since as well ! Woo-hoo!! I've been A LOT sleepier the first week post op, & going in 2 week.. so My suggestions are DO NOT TRY TO GO BACK TO WORK FOR A GOOD 3 weeks post op, at least. Otherwise the fatigue may pull you backwards so be cautious! I was totally compliant and have lost 21 pounds so far in just days not even a month.. & that's from preop fluid diet to post op fluid diet. I have only done clear broths (after not losing I finally made my own no sodium broths & the wt. started melting off!) & using Premier protein shakes with a few jellos & a few puddings. This is the REAL DEAL GUYS!! No more blood pressure meds either!! Yaay!!!! :) hugs to all- Jennifer
Oh wow!!!! Im so happy I found someone whose had surgery so close to mine & experiencing the same things! I hear post surgicy can be hard to get used to even though we're excited about it. I cannot wait to hear more progress from you as you feel up to it! Right now I'm starting the Puréed diet. Yaay! (Never thought Ide say that? Ha lol!) just bought all the ingredients to make "Shelly's Ricotta Bake"! Sounds like everyone's favorite on the Puréed stage. I'm just starting to feel a little hunger here & there too. Is that the same for you? I'm getting tired of protein shakes too. Hate it but yep, I feel pretty tired of them! I know I'll need them for a while though. Anyway so nice to meet you!!! Hope you feeling a bit better everyday! Hugs!! Jennifer
