Name some of the most difficult things you experienced after vsg surgery

What are your constipation remedies? I take some meds (pres surg) that cause that now. I am worried about it getting worse. Help?? I am also hearing that I'm not big enough for wls, Bmi 40. I can loose weight, but it comes back plus more. I need that tool to work with! My BMI was 39.3 before surgery...I'm going into day 4 post op. The worst part to date was the drain. As soon as it was removed I felt a million times better

I want to go skiing with my family and I'm participating in a medical mission in rural Guatemala next December and need to be in better shape than I am now.

In 1 week I will be at the occ. I'm so excited!! A little nervous but not bad. I don't know how I will make it through the week at work. And as a added bonus, I get to leave the very disgusting amounts of snow we have and go to warmer weather. The countdown is on!

My big thing is that my weight is going to kill me. I have 3 little kids that I need to be a mom for. I'm tired of being tired. Also tired of my weight being a barrier to try things with my kids because I'm too big. Lastly, I'm going on a volunteer mission next December. Right now I wouldn't be able to handle the long days. So I guess I have a threshold reason:)

It would...I'm planning to travel by myself so having to try out some shopping would be awesome. Or out in the sun

If you have a blender making your own purées is a snap. It's important to make sure that veggies are cooked through. If you make a soup and blend it make sure to blend the meat separately to void chunks. I'm pre op made but all my own baby food for my kids. I know starches are a no no but a chicken or beef and frozen veg simmered in a broth actually tastes pretty good. My rule was if I wouldn't want to eat neither will my kids so I tried everything I made.

Yup...pre op sucks. I'm on day 2 and my problem is the sweetness of the shakes even though there's no sugar added. Someone suggested unjury chicken broth which I'm ordering today.

Hi kitty chick I'm scheduled for the 20th. Maybe I see you around

Where can you get the unjury protein mix? Sounds like something I should have on hand to make sure I get enough protein

I have my date for January 20 with Dr Ariel Ortiz at occ. any other Canadians out there
