  1. Hello,

    I'm in the process of starting the VSG journey, but I'm trying to phase out items in my pantry that I won't be consuming post-op. Phasing out is the easy part, what to keep as staples AFTER surgery is what I'd like to know.

    My husband is willing to eat in a similar fashion (of course he'll have normal portions), but I'm unsure of what to keep as regular staples at that point. White sugar, white flour, etc., that I've figured out, but what should I be keeping in my non-perishables?

    Thanks!

  2. I have had a hard time with drinking Water since my surgery. I know the symptoms you mention.

    Here are some of the things that help me. I have found that I cannot drink Water first thing in the morning - it lands 'hard' and makes me feel ill. So, I eat a small meal first. On days when I later try water and it still doesn't go down well, I drink 8 oz of low sodium broth. After that - it seems as though I can handle water pretty well. I cannot gulp it down, though - have to drink it in small amounts at a time - wait a bit - then drink more.

    I hope some of these suggestions help you - perhaps you are just drinking too much too fast? I hope you find a solution quickly.

    What kind of broth do you buy

  3. I'm from Memphis and I have my surgery in may with Dr. Wegner. It's been hard finding someone to reach out to...I have a lot of questions.

    Are you having the sleeve or bypass? I had the sleeve and Dr. Wegner was my surgeon. You are more than welcomed to PM me with questions.

    I'm having the bypass
