4 Weeks post op and doing well

[lottietat]

Hi,
Just to let you all know, I am now 4 weeks post op, and 5 weeks since starting the pre-op diet and I have lost 33lbs in the 5 weeks. Really pleased with myself and have had no sickness and very little pain.

Still on soft foods as I get pain if I eat too solid a food!

Good luck to you all and keep up the good work!

Thanks Mini. As you can see from my ticker, I have a huge amount to lose so 2.5 stones doesn't really make much difference!! My clothes are feeling slightly loser, but I don't expect to drop a dress size until I have lost about 4 stones!!!

Hi Lottie,
Well done you. I'm now 19 days post op and have lost 22 pounds, but the weight loss is slowing down due to water retention as it's approaching that time of month. I've been swimming and to the gym and haven't been sick yet either. I'll be starting on mashed food on Saturday. My dietician has given me a sheet that has lists of fruit and veg in one column, protein in another and carbs in the other. Do I just choose to eat one category or do I have one from each from each meal? It seems a lot to what I'm used to!!

Hi Sara,
Well done, thats fab 22lbs already!!
I guess it is seom from each of the columns. You want a mixed diet, not just one or t'other!!

[clairelou]

hi sara ..it is one from each column...the idea of the way she laid it out was to get the correct balance & portion size for the protein carb etc in each meal

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the tips. My dietician got back to me today and said aim for a tablespoon of each (carb, veg,protein) in each meal and then increase it to 4 by the time I get to solids in a few weeks time. I just made quorn bolognase which I'm freezing in meal size portions, so I'm using babyfood pots and they're still too big!!
Clairelou, not long to go now...I'll be thinking of you.
