That's great!!!! Keep up the good work????

That's me at 295/ 245lbs

Dr say I can star puréed /soft foods and he told me puréed stage is more like soft food stage.

So I've started to do one meal soft food and 1/2 shake meals cause I don't want to take too much Protein (bad). And lot of Water in between. I made egg tuna salad and got out my scale and portioned 4oz containers and had first "meal".

Got about 3oz (four spoonfuls) and full.i stayed full for about hour and a half. I estimate my new tummy size is about 2.5 oz for now. I plan on using scale to make portion controlled meals so I don't eat too much and throw up.

I use my lose it app and created recipe for the salad and it gave me nutritional information so I know eggsectly how much protein/carbs.(lol)

Anyone else doing this,???

For me I drink a lot in between meals and keep busy doing stuff /exercise. I don't think I'm hunger but do battle with cravings. I just tell myself this is temporary till I get to goal. Head hunger is a b****h!

Great job....u are a superwoman!

I am 2 weeks post op also. I am hungry! I have a friend that had this done and she said she was the same way until about a month out. It is hard right now!

I have had cravings but I just dismiss by say to my self this is temporary and after I get to goal I can have some comfort foods. Stay the course and will get there.

Wishing health and happiness to all and God bless you????

It's a living night of the dead for me.... Doc had me on dilaudid ( higher then kite ). Nausea, pain, dry mouth didn't bother me. ( my wife said I was speaking in tongue and lick the air ????? )

the only thing I can tell is that I had a lot of esophageal reflux and Pepcid complete chewable gave me a lot of diarrhea...I'm on 80mg of nexuim and doing better.

#4 been there and done that......wish I could tell you something else but

It just sucks....stay positive, IT WILL GET BETTER.

3. After I tryed a few different Protein sources and ((gag)).....

I had to what didn't make me gag was half lactose free skim milk and half Premier Protein (choc). ....but don't worry to much about protein right now(do #2)

2. Concentrate on staying hydrated....if you feel you are dehydrated (dry mouth and not peeing) go to emergency room and ask for iv fluids.

Okay

I went thru very similar vsg on May 4th as well.

1.in recovery I was nauseous/dry heaving and they placed a patch be hind ear for nausea and in iv drip as well. I think you need stronger anti nausea meds.

DONT GIVE UP......and if you fall, get back up and FINISH THE JOB!

You

Can

Do

This.

I've always been to be hot all the time......My house temp is 85 and everyone is flipping out......that there must be something wrong with me :|

I'm very positive person....but still as soon I came out of anesthesia I thought for split second....WHAT HAVE I DONE!....then I told my self to shut up and put on my cowboy hat and played some Johnny cash?

Had surgery Monday morning, went home Wednesday morning. Stayed 2 nights.

DITTO....I could not keep liquid down and had lot of nausea....doc did not want for me to dehydrate....

Push thru and don't give up....Check how much sodium you are taking in.....it may be too much?

Thank you for your reply....

64oz Water and 100g Protein is my goal as well. I will keep try to get to goal intake and today I am taking in little more than yesterday.

Hello

3days post op and I'm getting about 24 oz of Water and 30 grams of Protein. And that's only 300 calories!

Should I be concerned?

If you quit it defines you....get back on your plan and KEEP GOING! I doesn't matter how times one falls but what does matter is one gets back up. You can do this.

Okay ...vsg done yesterday noon time and went up to hospital room around 5pm... Spent a lot of time in recovery and in some pain. Thru the night had nausea and discomfort. Was pescribed dilaudid so I in and out it all night. This morning had a ctscan while drinking white liquid. No leaks were found so now I'm on clear liquid. Now after I got back from ctscan 4-5 oz of Water and started throwing but it was more of a dry heave. I got to get use to my new stomach.

7am Tomorow......????

I'm numb right now....????
