1st Post-op Dr. Apt. Today
I am excited for today. It has been 2 weeks and 2 days since my sleeve. Are there any questions that I should ask when I am at my apt today.
Surgery weight was 196..... Today I weighed 184..... I lost 11 lbs in 16 days. I am on soft diet since Tuesday and will stay on soft until my next apt which is the 31st.
He wants me to be 176 by my next apt. I don't think that will be a problem. I am on a short program and he wants me to meet my goal weight of 134 by October/November. So that is 50 lbs. I can do this!! I hope!!
Yay, that means they will probably be giving you news about moving to the next food stage soon. I would ask them to of course give you a clear plan on eating, since everyones plan is so different. Specifically, carbs, cals, protein, water etc. intake. Help to track and stay on plan :) Congrats on your surgery!
My first post-op appointment was basically, "hey, your incisions look great!" I didn't have questions since I was doing really well :)
If you have any confusion about your eating plan, this is the time to ask. And vitamins too!
