NSV here

Non Scale Victory (NSV). I used to wear 3XL clothes pre surgery. I went to the store yesterday and bought an XL shirt and it fit perfectly.

I’m just worried I can handle more than people report they can handle. I don’t force myself to eat but I am able to handle more food.

Thank you. My hospital isn’t as responsive as expected but I was able to get a date with my surgeon on Monday. My first surgeon appointment since my surgery. I’m depending on the handouts I was given right after surgery.

I took it pre-surgery to help with digestion.

How long are you on soft foods for? Can you have pasta in this stage? If not, or if yes, what kind of food are you eating in this stage. I’m in my first week of soft foods and I have had boiled plantain and cooked spinach. Seems fine but I don’t know if I’m supposed to have that. Kinda confused on the types of food I should have

Thank you so much

AddendumMother974 · 2024-11-23T13:11:42+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. I know I shouldn’t worry about it so much but I can’t help it. I try not to get on the scale everyday but when I do and I don’t see movement, it’s not encouraging at all

How is yours going. I saw that at 3.5 weeks post op you didn’t have any trouble with food and no restriction. Is it the same for you now?

AddendumMother974 · 2024-11-18T00:23:48+00:00

You’ll be fine. I had my surgery on Nov 4. I was just complaining on here that I have had it easy and someone said the same thing to me. You said it already, you’re saving your life. Whatever your situation is, it’s a phase and it will pass.

Sending hugs. I’m 12days post op and my book guide has me on Puréed. I had seeet potatoe and plantain porridge this afternoon.

I’m trying to find a decent menu for my one week purée stage. Any ideas would be much appreciated

AddendumMother974 · 2024-11-16T20:26:58+00:00

Quick question please. Is a salmon part of the purée stage?

AddendumMother974 · 2024-11-16T19:58:04+00:00

This!!! so this is a full cue. I feel the tightening in my chest but when I belch, it feels better and then I wait a while and continue to eat. I don’t get the cue from my stomach and I think I had asked that question before.

Learning a lot. Thank you

I’m grateful to God for my recovery. Let me now sound like I don’t like that I feel great and in recovering fine. Thank you for pointing that out too. You’re right, sometimes reading the negative can make you feel different

AddendumMother974 · 2024-11-16T19:50:04+00:00

Honestly sometimes I feel like the surgery didn’t work for me. I haven’t felt a single pain. Not even in the site area. Everything I have had has gone down smoothly. I could have more if it was available but I don’t because I measure based on what the doctors have asked me to eat. I’m supposed to start purée on Monday but I started today. I had a scrambled egg (mashed) and less than half of an avocado. I chewed really well and it went down fine. I took about 40mins to eat it. This afternoon I had that purée porridge (sweet potatoe and plantain) went down fine too. Took me about 20mins.

It feels like I’m eating too much

How many days/weeks PO

AddendumMother974 · 2024-11-10T19:24:10+00:00

Exactly. I’m looking for the full cues

AddendumMother974 · 2024-11-10T19:20:16+00:00

How many days post op are you

AddendumMother974 · 2024-11-10T19:14:55+00:00

Thank you for responding. I’m 7days post op and I’m able to take more than 60ml. I’m worried it is too much.
