I am 8 days post op and I am a little worried that I too do not have any problem with water and 6 oz of yogurt go down just fine. I hope that the full feeling will kick in when I eat solid food again.
I had surgery Monday and had severe nausea since. Today I feel I might get threw this. Not what I expected. But nothing ever is. I hope you feel better soon. Lucky you only one hole. I have six. But I had alot of scar tissue removed from old gall bladder surgery.
Wow doing ok on liquids so far. I find am allergic to fake sugars. I will be on clear liquids for 3 days after surgery and liquid for two weeks then soft food. Still getting nervous. Just the unknown I guess.
Hi everybody. Just wanted to join in and say. The toughest thing for me during this liquid diet is knowing it will last 6 weeks. I hope I can loose a couple pounds before surgery. Trying to prepare for surgery. Not sure what I need for the clear liquid diet part as far as clear protein.
My surgery is Oct 7. I am really nervous and worried about leaks and blood clots. But to combat this I try to focus on all the positive things in my future. The two week liquid diet is putting me to the test. I am so glad that most people are glad to help and answer our questions. Good luck to you.
I am shocked to learn my insurance approved the surgery. Now at 52 I am so excited to start my journey. Not sure of date yet. I just wanted to thank everybody for all the great information and confidence to do this.
Hello I am new to the VSG world. I am learning that preop prep is more than I expected. I found out my insurance requires 6 month preop diet. 6 months feels like a long time to wait at my age. Will the insurance approve me after the 6 months??? Will I change my BMI to fall under 40?? Lots to think about. Any help is appreciated.
