    I'm 4 weeks post VSG and was getting very light headed and my blood pressure was very low (70/55) so I was checked back in to hospital and had four litres of Fluid pumped in to me as I was also dehydrated, so I would suggest to speak with your GP or surgeon to have a check up. I was also struggling to get 1.5 litres in every day, but having just been back in hospital for two days I am making it a priority. Good luck.

    YES, I used to & still do get light headed from time to time. I believe it's because we're not getting enough Protein (energy) in our systems. Great job on the liquids - impressive :-)

    Oh. It's not everyday. Lol. Some times only a liter. And maybe a 16.9 Water bottle. I need to find another way to get Protein in bc the shakes make me sick sometimes. How far are you ?

    I recently converted to GENEPRO from premier Protein for this exact reason. Could not stomach another shake.

    I have put the unflavored GENEPRO in my crystal lite and it completely dissolved and I cannot taste it. It has made me getting my Protein in sooo much easier. When mixing it I have read to be careful with hot temperatures and if cooler temperatures let it set and return to mix in.

    I have been using unjury Protein powder and I like it a lot. However, I have been seeing a lot of good things about GENEPRO and I just put in an order for it. I actually saved money with it, as GENEPRO has more Protein in it per serving than Unjury does. I can't wait to try the Genepro.

    Also, I take the Bariatric Advantage calcium chews (chocolate), and I think they taste good and not chalky at all. When I went to my class pre-surgery, they gave out samples of Vitamins, and I actually liked the Bariatric Advantage chew in caramel the best. I would have bought that one, but my pharmacy was sold out.

    Cool. Thanks.

    Keep after it!! Are you getting your Protein in? That's what I seem to be struggling with. Use the scale as your motivation!!!

    Not all of my Protein. Now Protein shakes make me want to vomit. I was fine with them before.

    You are DEFINITELY not alone!! My surgery was the 20th and every time I see a pizza commercial I want to cry! It looks soooooo good. I am also so tired of Soup, Protein Shakes, and Water. I am counting the seconds until I can move on to puréed foods! Good luck with everything! You can do it!

    Hi!! I'm 7 days post op and I'm not sure the reason you are not suppose to swallow your medicine? I take meds for diabetes, high blood pressure and a few others. I can't dissolve it and drink it! It makes me very sick!!! Will I be ok swallowing my meds?

    I could swallow my pills

    You are NOT alone! I am 6 days post-op and I swear I'm ready to shank the hand that gives me another Protein shake! Lol the broth grosses me out and the tea goes down the the best. I find myself craving real food but I'm not sure if it's because I'm bored with what I am drinking. Either case, I'm ready for step 2!

    Lmao as long as I'm not alone.

    How far out are you? What stage are you at? I am 7 weeks out and I could have a little taste of taco meat but too much would make me feel barfy.

    Ten days. Creamy stage. They told me.

    I'm 8 days out and find it's the salt that I'm craving today. Only broth that seems to pass the taste test is the packets in top ramen but divided over 3 - half cups of Water. No noodles, just the broth and my salt fix is happy.

    I'm 5 days post op and my stomach is still tender. Hurts to bend and if I sit up a certain way it feels like it's pulling and hurts.

    Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    I hope you feel better soon. It hurts when I get up and walk because my stomach feels tender and also feels like it's being pulled. It's such a weird feeling. Makes me hunch over and have to hold my stomach when I walk. I girl a know that had hers the same day I did, went shopping for hours today and then came home and sat in the floor and wrapped Christmas gifts. I'm no where near ready for that I know everyones different but still

    Wow. That's crazy! I'm seeing a lot of people saying they have no pain. All I'm thinking is, "lucky you!" I went back to work after 6 days. It killed me. I should have taken longer off! Feel better!

    Thank you! I hope you feel better soon too. I know a few people who had theirs the same day as me and they've been grocery shopping, going on walks, shopping ... I can't imagine doing any of that right now. I only get up to walk the house and go to the restroom, all while leaning forward and holding my stomach. It's not unbearable pain, just rly sore. I'm scared to stand up straight. I'm worried it will do something to my inside or outside incisions or mess with my pouch.

    See, I've been shopping and I started back to work Sunday. Wish I would have taken another week off but it's not paid. Lol. Almost day 8 and I'm starting to feel better.
