Well! Today I was looking through my manual for liquids to drink and I am so sick of broth I asked my husband to bring me a drinkable yogurt. Approved in my handbook! It was one of those mexican yogurts and honestly I didn't even read the labels. I had maybe 2-4 oz of it. I started sweating and my stomach started aching with pain I felt like I was going through hot flashes!! It was not a good feeling! I spent atleast 20 minutes going back and forth to the restroom! And.. Finally, well that cured my post op constipation! Sorry so much info but it was my first time going through that I was almost shaking! Lesson learned on labels and happy I finally went I was getting worried!!

Nice to know its a sign of healing! I'm on day 8 and itching so bad! Trying my best not to scratch

Prayers Are with you and your wife!

I had egg drop as well, it's in the manual I received for post op liquid diet

Haha thank you so much! I feel better!!!

I have experienced it as well! Haven't looked into it but I definitely feel achy

I weighed myself that morning and they did weigh me right before surgery with my sweater and tennis shoes and all! I just went with my own morning weigh in sans shoes. It wasn't too off!

Hi everyone! Just to confirm, multi in the morning and evening even if the bottle says once a day? That's what I have been doing but then got confused when I read the bottle! Thanks!!

Hi everyone! How do you get your Protein in? I am one week post op tomorrow and have been drinking Premier Protein and some Isopure but curious as to what other people are using? Thanks for your help!

One night in hospital and back to work in two weeks! I have a week left until I return to wrk!

I had ankle surgery back in November and I'm out of work till 1/19 on that leave. I just had the vsg during me other leave as well. Killed two birds with one stone

I used to love water too ! Haven't been able to get It down even with crystal light. Hopefully soon

I'm so happy! I can't believe I'm on the other side now!! A bit sore but I'm so happy to have a great support System!! Thank you everyone for your support I'm so glad I found this site!!

Thank you everyone for the well wishes! I've been sleeping the majority of the day with the exception of walks down the hall and bathroom trips! It all happened so fast! I don't remember being hauled into the OR or even being in recovery! Next thing I knew I was already in my room! So far so good, sore stomach and those gas pains when they come sure come! They said I've been so good with vitals and everything I should be let out by 11 tomorrow! Crossing fingers and thanks again!!

Today is the day!! I was so excited I couldn't sleep last night and then I ended up with only one hour of sleep! Eh, I guess I'll have plenty of time to catch up the next few days!! Surgery is at 7:30am PST and check in is at 5:30am. Almost there!!!

I knew they felt different! Thought all the protein!

Thank you! I have a boot for my leg I'll need for the walking part of the hospital since I had surgery a few months ago so I was curious! I'll only need it on for the walking portion Ty!!

Curious? How long after surgery did they have you start walking? Was it a few hours after? The next day? Just once or constant? Thank you!

Thank you! My surgery is on 1/6 and I can't wait to be on the other side of this I also know it won't be easy at first! Much appreciated!

I've been on my liquid diet for one week and surgery is on the 6th at 7:30 and I should arrive at 5:30am. I'm not sure what's going on but I almost feel zombie like, like I'm waiting for this to happen and I don't believe it until it's done? I've done very well following all instructions but I'm just taking it day by day. Maybe because I haven't been a "normal" BMI since high school and i know this is going to be such a big year for me. I look at people's pages and I can't imagine me with all those successes! I can't wait for the change but I am just feeling a bit of the nerves I guess. Happy ones, change ones. Good luck everyone! 2015 is going to be a great year!

Tomorrow will be 7 days on my liquid diet and I've already lost over 12 lbs! This has been feeling amazing, I've lost a bit over 20lbs total since my highest weight in September! I'm determined to get through this, especially knowing the scale will be going downhill from here! So far so good, there was one day I started liquids late and got a headache and another day I realiZed I just missed chewing! Thankfully that was only an hour before bed and I slept that off! Can't wait for Jan 6!

Hello Does anyone use body shapers? If so, what brand and at what point did you start using them? Thanks so much!!!

This is great, thank you everyone! I can't wait to be on the other side with you all!!! Scheduled for 1/6

Awesome thank you everyone! Keeping me eye on the prize! But I definitely am feeling pretty slumpish and I am ready to go to bed right about now! 11 more days till surgery!

How often do you weigh yourself? I downloaded a few apps and took a few photos today on day 1 of liquid diet. Just wondering how often you do these things?
