2 Weeks Post Op

jenifer13

I had surgery on April 21st and as of May 6th I have lost 16lbs. Is this an average loss. I thought (from what I have heard) I would have lost over 20 in 2 weeks. I guess I cant complain cause I could not have lost this amount any other way.

what type of weight-loss surgery did you have? 16 lbs. lost in that amount of time is actually pretty substantial. off liquids yet? how are you feeling?

I had Gastric By Pass I feel great, The first week I was a little light headed. This past week went well feeling good. Went to a few of my sons baseball games. Still on soups for the next 2 weeks.

2 weeks out and Im happy I did it. That first night in the hospital I thought other wise, but once I came home to my own bed and my family I felt better.
Are you having the bypass?

what type of diet is one on after this type of surgery, sounds like liquids to begin with but in the long run what will your diet look like?

After about 45-50 days its just small meals with mostly protein. No soda, beer, sweets. Its almost like being on the atkins diet, except they want you to have a very small amount of carbs. Right now its hard cause I want something with texture.:huh:
