Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 I am 13 days after surgery and this coming friday i will be able to eat soft foods according to my doctor. I weighed 132 when i went in for surgery and today i weigh 121. I like the weight i am at now. Is it really hard to keep the weight off after you start eating solid foods or if i eat the right stuff will i be able to keep it off?

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 I wouldn't start a diet now, your body still needs proper nutrition for good healing. It's possible to maintain that weight loss, I think, provided you don't go back to any unhealthy eating habits that you may have had pre-op, like junk food. I ate a lot of veggies in the post-op period (mostly cooked to mush) and carried this on, much healthier lifestyle for me. > I am 13 days after surgery and this coming friday i will be able to > eat soft foods according to my doctor.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 I'm two months post op and I've yet to gain back all my preop weight. I was about 180lbs before surgery. I got as low as 165 postop. I think I'm currently at 175lbs, which is not a bad weight for me.. > I am 13 days after surgery and this coming friday i will be able to > eat soft foods according to my doctor.

In fact, I'm eating as much as I used to before the surgery. I lost 12 pounds and two weeks ago I gained 2 (for no reason, I can tell you that!). I've remained at -10 lbs since then.
