Well, had my pre-op class... some of the info from the class:
I can go to the gym if I
feel
up to it within a few days after surgery for cardio/walking. First 5-6
days pick up less than 15 pounds, after that pick up up to 50 pounds,
as long as comfortable.
Diet immediately after surgery:
Day of surgery-only ice chips and water
stage 1:
day 1 post op- clear fluids
day 3 post op- full fluids for 2 weeks
Stage 2:
2 weeks post op- mushy food
Stage 3:
3-4 weeks post op: regular food small bites
Can
go on rides etc at sea world as log as comfortable. He said 'no pain
no gain' isn't the slogan, and just do what I want but if hurts slow
down.
Biggest thing I
guess is
that someone asked about weight loss and the nutritionist said that at 1
month post op she would expect us to be at -10% EBW lost... that for
me is 15 pounds. I
really hope to have lost more than 15 pounds to be honest!
then said each month after is generally 5-10 pounds lost... and again i
hope to lose between 10-15 pounds for a few months... hmm we will have
to see.
Oh and BTW, this liquid diet isn't really fun lol. A
struggle but working my way though it. My husband is supportive
and there with me (he even went today to the class, only non-patient
there, three of us patients all having surgery the same day were in the
class) so I
know I
can do it.
A chart about how my weight loss MIGHT play out if everything follows a curve or trend.
possible loss of
excess weight you
your ideal weight
