I'm not an expert, only 19 days out, started with a BMI of 33, so on the lower end. I lost 7 pounds with my 5 day pre-op diet, and have only lost 9 pounds since surgery. I'm pretty bummed to be perfectly honest. I know I'm not getting enough Protein, and probably not enough calories so that is probably why. I don't really like the Protein Shakes so I try to add Protein Powder where I can. Last time my scale changed was at 1 week post op.

I'm exactly where you were. I had my surgery 1/21/16 and I lost total of 15lbs but haven't list anything in a week. I was at 34 BMI. How are you doing now? Stall over?

Thank you Storibrown

I had my VSG 1/21/16. Today is my 1 week post op appointment, and get my drain oout today

can you describe how you feel at 1 week, so I can see some light at the end of the tunnel?[/quote

Much better! 2-3 days in I regretted having the procedure. I was tired, cranky, quezzy. I even threw up day 4 after chevable Vitamins. Today I get the drain out and I feel good, more energy. Can't wait to hear what the Dr says about food and my million questions. You got this!!! Few more days. I'm hoping everyday gets better.

Grapevine, TX had my VSG 1/21/16 today my drain cones out on my 1 week checknup. Yipee

Hi, I was also 1/18 sleeve date. First follow up appointment tomorrow, should start purees! I was in more pain than I expected after surgery, but am doing better now. A week does make a big difference. Not getting 64oz/80-100 of Protein yet but I keep trying.

I would love some pured veggies and fruit about now.

How many days post opbdid you start eggs? I would love eggs...but w bread lol

Makes sense, didn't think of any of that I guess I better suck it up for 5 weeks till I can eat real food. Thanks for the pep talk.

Storibrown glad its getting better.

My hospital experience was good, lots of sleeping. I'm concerned cause even though I'm not hungry, I want to test the waters w food not on list. In my head I figure if it chew it to puree why not. Am I gonna make a leak if I do this you think?

Had mine 1/21. Have lots of questions. Already testing the waters probably more than I should.
