    Long Term VSG Sleevers?

    Absolutely was fearful of not being able to "fun" eat. What I've been doing these days that I am on the liquid diet is looking up recipes & meals that are healthy but I'll still LOVE. Aside from that, moderation is always key. It's unreal to think you will NEVER AGAIN have certain foods. Good Luck!

    The facility is small but organized and very clean. The doctors are very attentive and knowledgeable. The recovery center is fabulous, comfortable, clean and a nurse there 24/7 and a doctor there all night.

    I figured as much. I read some horror stories that made me second guess myself.

    Those who have been to TJ already, is the area fairly safe. I know it's a big city.

    Ruben is not so good about returning emails in a timely manor. However he is great about returning calls.

    Keep me posted on your date. What type of foods are you eating now? Are the gas pains gone? TIA Honestly I didn't have much gas pains. I stayed on water only for 2 days post op though. It was my choice to do so. I didn't feel hungry and water worked for me. I have bloating issues but I have had them since way before I had my surgery. I am Hashimoto's Hypothyroid and bloating, constipation and other gut issues are a norm for me. As far as gas, I get it on occasion but feel it is due to my hypo. As for food.....I am slowly introducing solids to my diet but only at night. I have a protein shake for lunch and breakfast and some type of solid soft food at night at home that way if my body doesn't like it I am where I need to be to deal with it. Protein drinks are a huge staple for me. Getting enough protein is pertinent and with just 2 a day, I am getting 86 grams of protein. What shakes are you using?
