4 Weeks Post-Op!!

I am 4 weeks post-op and feeling great!  I have lost 20 lbs & 19 inches!!!  Thanks to everyone on this forum for all of the support.  Reading the posts have really helped me & encouraged me!!

For those who are pre-op or are recent post-op, the first 1.5 weeks were the worst for me, but not half as bad as I had anticipated it would be.  Sometimes the fear of the unknown can be worse than the actual event itself.  At least that was my experience. 

I am so glad I had my RNY and can't wait to see where the rest of this journey takes me!!

I am 4 weeks also......CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!   I haven't lost as much as you though:(   but getting there.  W/ walking 2 miles everyday.  What are you eating for foods.  I'm running out of ideas.

My surgeon moved me to the soft foods stage last Friday.  Most mornings I start off my protein shake (3 frozen strawberries, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 2 tsp. SF cheesecake pudding, & 8 oz. water).  I also eat tuna, chicken salad, baked fish,  low-fat cheese sticks, mashed potaoes with low-fat gravy.  This week I also made a pork tenderloin and made a low-carb & sugar-free BBQ sauce and it tastes fabulous and my pouch was able to handle it!!  I still eat a lot of sugar-free popscicles, & sugar-free pudding.  I also scrambled an egg this morning & so far my pouch has approved of it...Yay!

Here are a couple of websites that have awesome recipes:

Good luck with your journey!!

Congrats!

I am also 4 week out, I have lost 22lbs myself and feel great. What are you eating. It seems to me that I keep eating the same stuff. I am scared to try new things. My Dr. still wants me to wait until 9 weeks out before eating normal foods.

I will be 4 weeks out on Monday and I was moved to soft foods but can't seem to eat anything but cheese. It is even hard to get in fluids and protein. I was walking everyday until this past week but my left side is so sore and I am so tired out. What am I doing wrong? I am down almost 30lbs. Just wish I felt as good as you guys do. Glad everything is working out.
