Girl, you got the best NSVs lol (referring to your other post). You are having a great time. I am so happy they provided awesome customer service. I can't imagine shopping at VS and that it might be a bit intimidating to me.

2 weeks beyond surgery still hungry 2,200 calories a day what's wrong?
I am also confused on your vitamin regime. You said you take 1 chewable? Something doesn't add up. Do you have a nutritionist? Did they do a leak test post op?

Peppermint extract
My husband just made me a peppermint shake he used premier vanilla shake, decaf instant coffee, nestle unsweet coco powder and peppermint extract. It is tasty and a great change from the norm

I'm having trouble with my water also, what I have been doing is adding unjury unflavored protein powder to a 20oz Powerade zero. Then I drink bottled water to get the rest of my fluids in for the day. I didn't think about adding the unflavored to my propel that is a great idea! Do u like the unjury unflavored? I got a sample of Matrix and Jay Robb to try.

So thirsty all the time time!
I got home last night from revision surgery and have been sipping away. My goal is 64oz including my Protein that I mix with Water. I have the 8oz deer park individuals so I can easily tell how much I have drank. I am writing it all down so I can see my process. Also I write down if I liked the protein or not. I drink plain water and water with mio. I write down all my feelings too. If I drank to fast or if it feel sick. Which I have not gotten sick yet. It is a learning process for us all. You may want to try the fruity Protein drinks Matrix makes them I had the fuzzy navel today and it wasn't bad. It may help quench your thirst.

Blurry Vision
I am 3 days post op and I notice my near sighted vision is very blurry. I can see fine far sight as always with my glasses. I was dehydrated while I was in the hospital, but they got fluids in me and got my pressure back up. Has any one experienced this? I do wear glasses or contacts all the time.

Thank you. I am passing gas. But you are right about the hernia fix too. forgot about that. I was so out of it yesterday. I am not sure how much is gas vs pain from the inside. If that makes sense. I have been walking and I don't have gas in shoulders or anything. I got to meet a fellow October patient from this board and that was cool!

So I am home, working on my 1st protein shake. I went to Vitamin shop and picked up samples. The Syntrex Nectar Chocolate truffle is yummy! I am still in a lot of pain. I am hooked up to an On-Q pain pump. It's hard coming home because my 16 month old is rough and likes to jump all over me. So trying to keep her at bay.

I will be released from the hospital today. Yesterday was a bit rough. Today I am feeling much better. I have been walking and sipping. It is hard because I am just not interested in anything right now They were unsure how long my surgery would be since I am a revision patient. They said I did not have a lot of scar tissue. My doctor said I would be more sore than normal because they used some of the same entry points. As I was typing I passed GAS! I know tmi! I had a hard time going pee and was dehydrated yesterday. They fixed all that. I didn't eat much for my first meal yesterday and so they left the other stuff if I wanted to eat it. That did not happen.

I made it through revision surgery. I woke up in a lot of pain but it seems more tolerable now. I had a hernia repair as well, so not sure if that is contributing to the pain. Honestly, I am hurting more than expected. I did not have this much pain with the sleeve. I know two different procedures. I am having trouble urinating, so they did a bladder scan. I have already walked and preparing to walk again. Since I have a history of nausea they gave me a patch behind the ear and are very understanding about how easy it is for me to get nauseous while walking. I have not had a drink in almost a 24 hours, so I am thirsty! I have mouth swabs. I will update on scar tissue and my VSG complications that were repaired once I speak to my surgeon. Thank you for your support! @@CHLOE12 how are you? Not sure if I missed your update.

@@CHELLB33 I guess I am a bit nervous too since I am a revision patient. What we do know is that my stomach is twisted. He said it could be longer than normal surgery time because they don't really know until they get in. I have a hernia repair too! I am glad they were able to get you all fixed up and on the road to recovery. How are you feeling this morning? When will you get released?

Glad to hear that both of your are doing well! It seems like most are able to get up and get moving rather quickly that's great. I have to be at the hospital my 11 for 1:00 pm surgery. I am thirsty already.
