i had mine removed with my vsg and im 8 days post op and feeling fantastic!!I had an ultra sound done on it and I had gallstones.i had larproscopic surgery thru my belly button and gall bladder and stomach came out of the single incision.

im 1 week out and ive been on purees from the day after surgery.i do 2 to 3 Protein Shakes a day and im able to eat 2x a day.about 2 or 3 tsps. of Soup or chile.I luv being able to just taste something and not want eat a hole lot of food!!!no problems,some indigestion but nothing tums wont help!i also take protenix every morning and it keeps the acids at bay.alot of the hunger your feeling is mostly the acids in your new belly.

first couple days are rough but it gets much easier day by day.im 6 days post op and get all my Water in and protein.i drink premier I luv it.30 grams Protein in an 11oz container.thats also goes to fluids.2 or three a day is perfect.i ordered unflavered protein to put in my water and Soups and its 30 grams per teaspoon!!!wow that's incredible!

im 6 days post op and waiting until my dr apt next Thursday to weigh myself.i do try on several sets of pants a day tho!!!lol!!im not able to button anything because im still so swollen from the gases.i had my gall bladder remove also so maybe I got more gas then usual!!but legs and butt area feel a little looser!hoping mynext week I can button something up!

oh I so hope I can go in the pool by 4 weeks!!im going to Disney world on oct 31 and I really want to enjoy the resort too!!

My doc and nutritionist said a month and I can have coffee I'm a few days off and had some today! Mixed with some sugar free Creamer and it was amazing lol

oh boy I cant wait!!!

I take 1 tums sometimes 2 a day for Calcium support.im 5 days post op!

long island,ny.5 days post op and feeling fantastic!!!

cant imagine why not.i luv mine and there sweet berry kind and I feel like im having a dessert!!!I would think as long as your getting some kind of Vitamins its fine and its only temporary until you can swallow a reg one.

you just read my mind!im actually 5 days post up and am having my first cup of decaf.im dying for a regular cup of coffee!!couple more weeks!i didn't stop my 3 cups a day of caffeine until the day before my surgery when I was on all clear.my dr wanted me to stop 2 weeks before but I just couldn't!too much to give up a once!!food,wine,coffee,cigerettes and coffee what!!!lol

I waited till first post op appointment.. I was sleeved oct 1.. And saw doctor Tuesday oct 7.. Lost 15lbs.. Not even full week.:

Wow your doctor started right away on puréed food.. I'm dying for that.. So tired of the full liquid..

Yeah I purposely don't have a scale yet.. Will get one at one month post op.. Lauren

my dr starts you on pureed foods day after surgery as long as leak test is good.trust me Water and Protein shakes are much more consuming then 2oz of tuna!!!I had to do a 2 week pre op all liquids and I don't even miss food right now!!!

totally holding off on weighing myself.i will be 11 days post op for first dr vsit.then I go back 4 weeks post up.that will be the day before Disney world for a week!then I pack everyone on the plane home and im going down to ft Lauderdale for a week to relax on the beach!!yep all about me now!!!

OMG I am also having this at 4 days post op.i remember the nurse telling me that the gas they put in you is going to find every nook and cranny to escape and I was thinking maybe this is why its happening??im in meno so theres no pms here going on!!

Hi all,just got sleeved 0ct 6th and feeling pretty good.doc started me on pureed foods day after surgery.im doing good with Water and Protein Shakes and 1 pureed chicken salad.2oz,more then enough!just wondering howlong everyone waited to weigh themselves after surgery.im so full of gas I don't feel that ive lost anything yet!i know 4 days isn't long enough and im really going to hold out until my doc apt at 10 days post up.but just wondering if anyone lost right away!
