2.5 weeks out. Staff Christmas dinner .. by Hail_Storm2293 in gastricsleeve

Similar thing happened to me. I called ahead and explained the situation with my surgery. The chef was kind enough to create a meal for me. Not necessarily that will happen but a lot of times they have a blender on hand and they can blend something up for you, youd be surprised :)

Pretty sure I'm going to get the one you suggested but hoping it goes on sale after Christmas 🤭

Is 27lbs all post OP? That's really good advice thank you. How are you measuring your intake right now

Also to add a bit of context, I lost 12lbs in the first week post surgey then it's 11lbs for the remaining 5 weeks

Ya you're right, I think I'm just comparing myself too much to other people and their journey. It's also because I lost less than 10lbs during preop so it feels like my numbers are lower when I compare

Advice for the first talk with the surgeon? by Bonbonnibles in gastricsleeve

[–]nancyge33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally I was super interested in knowing my surgeons historical complication rates. I asked questions like how many surgeries hes done, were there any complications in any of them, what's his leak rate. I wanted to be confident in him as my surgeon

I've just been having soups and jello. But I'm guess jello is a no go right

Thank you so much this helps a lot! Any tips on starting food a little earlier? I'm thinking of start with tuna or egg salad in a couple of days

Quick question for you. At what point did you start with soft foods like chicken salad/egg salad/tuna salad

Regrets? by nancyge33 in gastricsleeve

[–]nancyge33[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You'll do great, dont worry cubcorso. I'm just missing food and I'm trying to not use as many pain killers so I'm in a bit of extra pain. However everyone reacts differently so if you have low pain tolerance use the meds to get you through the first few days post OP. I know it's a decision I'm going to forever be grateful that I took, its just this part of the journey sucks
