  1. @outsidematchinside. Thank you for the tip. I was worried. I told my doc about mowing and walking long distances. I live alone right now so some things are a must when you live in the city, wasn't able to get someone to mow or get the weeds so I did it myself it wasn't bad but I'll take your advice into consideration thanks

  2. Hey Marsse, I'm 10 days post op. No food issues. It looks and smells amazing but I know right now it would hurt going down hah. Other than that I enjoy the puréed food I can eat right now. I haven't felt hungry or full so far but from reading all the posts here it effects everyone differently. Mind can do crazy things. Woke up from a food eating dream this morning.

  3. Hello everyone,

    I saw my surgeon in June of this year and I had my surgery on August 4th, 2016. Surgery was great it only took an hour and from the time I was put under to woke up was only 3 hours'ish. Post surgery was easy, sips of Water, walking around, peeing in a container. This was my very first surgery in my life. Took my medicine by mouth no problem, no nausea, no catheter, and no real pain, all good stuff. I woke up ate some chicken broth drank more water and went home. Went back to work this past Friday. I am a little over a week post op and have lost 17 pounds. Still no real pain just slight discomfort if I move quick. I have mowed my yard and continue back working out the day week 1 was over so back to 4 miles a day, tried running but it felt weird so back to walking. Doctor said no lifting tried push-ups and sit-ups. Both doable but felt weird.

    Eating is fun honestly. I'm on creamy stuff this week and I love Soups and yogurts and Protein Shakes so it fits. Lil worried about the amount I'm I taking but will see how the weight is a month out, appointment on the 29th so a few days short. I feel like I am eating all the time now compared to before surgery I'd only eat maybe twice a day due to work and schedule.

    I am excited for week 3 mushy foods. I have yet to feel full or anything so I'm hoping this next week I may get that chance. I still don't feel hungry and I am not experiencing hunger pains. I will most definitely keep you all up to date. :)

  4. Seems like all doctors are putting their patients on dif stuff.

    Backstory: insurance paid 100%. It'll only took 3 months from the time I saw my surgeon til my surgery. It's going well physically. No pain. I'm already out mowing the yard pulling weeds all the normal stuff, tried running again but it felt weird so went back to walking. Surgery was only 10 days ago.

  5. Hello everyone love the forum, been a lurker for a month or so I needed to chime in so I created an account. I got my surgery (VSG) on 8/4/16. At 1 week I was down 17 lbs. this week(past couple days) I'm in the creamy week. So ever since surgery I haven't had a full feeling and I feel like I eat and drink quite a lot even from before surgery standards. Constantly sippin Water which I know is good. I was told to increase my Protein which I have for as of the start of this week which adds even more "food" to my diet. On a normal day I eat:

    Breakfast: oatmeal mixed with my Protein powder (half scoop) and mixed with almond milk. Ends up being 4oz can't get it down too much because i hate oatmeal so I switched to applesauce which is cool.

    Snack:8-9oz Protein shake (which I can drink in about 5 minutes because I don't feel any tightness or anything) I don't drink it that quick but I sip on it til completion.

    Lunch: 4oz of yogurt mixed with almond milk(told to soften it up) which I down in about 5-10mins. Again no full or painful feelings.

    Snack: 8-9oz Protein Shake again sip until empty

    Dinner: 4oz of a puréed Soup.< /p>

    Snack: A Jello pudding mixed with coconut water and half a scoop of Protein Powder.

    This is a average diet I was told to stick with but I feel is a lot of food. I am seeing weight come off but, my real question is the full feeling is never present, I think it may be because I'm being cautious but like I said I feel like the food I am eating and the amounts maybe small or something but my doctors said I should hit a full filling after consuming 8oz of anything but it hasn't happened yet. Any tips/suggestions? Since my last appointment (3 days ago) I'm already down about 7lbs. I am already working out 'ish again and have a lot of energy. I take my Multivitamins and Calcium. The protein I am drinking is Jay Robb's, I have the vanilla and chocolate kind.
