Loving the SUPPORT from my Husband!!
YeahOkay31 and 2 others reacted to MedicVSG for a post in a topic
I’m just going to brag a bit. My wife had been an angel. And I’m kind of a pain in the butt as a patient. As relieved as I was to wake up post op to her I was even more reassured as I waited to be wheeled into Surgery that she’d be there afterwards. A good partner makes such a difference. Cheers to those that support us! -

Feeling depressed and unable to drink.

She actually started hot tea yesterday and she's doing pretty well so I'm happy about that. -
1 pointMost things I’ve read said it’s less risk than bypass and more risk than lap-band. I like the idea that if necessary I can move into a full bypass down the road if something comes up or it’s not quite as successful as I need. I’m hoping for September surgery. Thank you!

How many pounds should you lose from day of surgery to 5 days post op?

Everyone is different, but even none at all would be normal. You come home bigger unfortunately from the fluid and gas. I went in 303 and came out 309. By the end of the first week I had dropped the 6 I gained plus, 11.8 more. -
1 pointDon't worry about much of anything except your diet and water (and some light exercising) at this point. The rest will come around. Worry about healing and learning your new diet first. Getting too attached to the weight number isn't a good thing, when you do stall... you are more likely to end up getting frustrated. Just keep doing what you are supposed to and everything will work out.

Thanks for the encouragement. It really is a small world isn't it? Sadly over the years and with construction the beach at Mullins is almost non existent Its such a pity as I remember it being one of the best beaches on the Island in my 20's. If you come here again, give me a shout -

8 days post HELP ME PLEASE

Everyone seems to have variations in what their doctor/hospital recommends for post op diet. I was told to stay away from dairy and milk products until day 10 because they cause nausea and stomach upset. I'm wondering if the dairy in the yogurt and protein shakes are giving you these issues. Buy some flavored electrolytes to put in your water. They help when you have the runs and are not getting that much liquid - also help even out blood pressure. -
1 pointGood luck! I hope you are approved for surgery soon. A solid evidence-backed chance at getting to normal (or even "overweight") BMI is such a massive thing for those of us in the Obese category!

I get the molded cups from cacique, they are the only thing that seems to work for me. Only down side is they are $50 a pop.
