My surgeon used a 34 French on mine

I'm 6 weeks post ad well. I had a 3 week stall! I stepped on the scale today and down 4 pounds. Hoping the loss continues.

I love the nectar too! What flavor did you get? I have the fuzzy navel but want to try others.

I measure everything. I eat 1 1/2 oz of meat at meals.

I took one week off and it was plenty. I had 0 pain on day 5.

I was eating yogurt the next morning after surgery in the hospital!

Ricotta cheese topped with a good marinara and shredded parmesan and mozzarella and baked till brown and bubbly. Delicious!!! My fav

I feel real stomach growling hunger. I wasn't expecting to feel it so it am very disappointed, but I do eat much much less. Just a few ounces and I'm satisfied. Some days I eat much more than other days. Today is a day that I hardly ate anything, yesterday I are a lot more.

Fuzzy navel and cappuccino are delish!

Ricotta mixed with liquid egg white and baked with marinara sauce on too topped with a little fresh parmesan and mozzarella. Delish!!

My dr has a very strict three week liquid diet. I couldn't handle it. It was so depressing so on the third week I added cottage cheese, refried beans and a good cheddar cheese. I chewed chewed chewed until they were liquid in my mouth and then swallowed. I did fine. Didn't delay my weight loss either.

I am three weeks post op and eat 1 cup of cottage cheese, 2oz cheddar cheese and 1-2 protein shakes a day. Am I eating too much? It averages about 500 calories. My weight is at a stand still. I appreciate any feedback.

Refried beans with cheese

I am 2 weeks post op. I can answer any questions you may have. It's a struggle at times, but very worth it. Down 30 pounds woo hoo!

I'm 2 weeks post op and have no fatigue. I hope it stays this way. Went back to work 7 days post op.

Ricotta with marinara drizzled on top. Heaven!

I took one week vacation. I was very ready after 7 days to get back to work. I do have a desk job but no fatigue or pain on day 7 for me.

I don't have one, but I'm going to get one . Great idea.

I'm 9 days post op ( surgery last Tuesday). I don't think I am eating enough. I am on a liquid diet for 3 weeks after my surgery and also am allowed yogurt and strained creamed soups. Today I had a premiere protein shake, 1/2 bottle of Isopure, almost 1/2 can of tomato soup and a couple spoonfuls of Greek yogurt. Am I eating enough? Info feel hunger.

In my support group people have a timer to remind them to drink every 5 minutes and walk every 15 minutes. Anyone know what timer they are using? I really want one. Just read a FB post last night that a young woman died 10 days after vsg due to a blood clot. Scares me.

I told my work that I am having a hiatal hernia repair

My date is September 30th as well! I'm totally excited. Not really nervous.

Around how many ounces of food do you eat each meal? How many snacks each day and what is a normal snack for you? How far out are you?

If you are going to eat 4 oz of meat. Do you measure 4 oz before or after cooking. This is probably a dumb question, but I have no clue.

I have Anthem Blue Cross and my medical group is Newport Medical Group. That is who they are billing. They only require BMI over 40, 2 co morbilities, psych evaluation, Dr talk and nutritionist visit. I got it all done in 1 day, except the psych eval. I have that next week. This is moving so fast for me. I hope after insurance approves me, it moves quick dr le port's office seems slooooooow. I would love to hear from anyone who went through or who is going through Dr leport's office in fountain valley, ca. Thanks!
