Returned after 2 weeks, I have a desk job, listen your body and your surgeon too. Sitting is a bit uncomfortable, especially at first. I'm 3 weeks post op. Good luck!

Had mine Dec 30th. I never felt the need to take the stronger stuff, but oh am I sore. I can't bend over very well either. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

Hello I have been having issues with getting in clear Protein, it's makes me extremely nauseous, I've tried a bunch of different types.. My dietician isn't in office until tomorrow, just want to make sure I'm gonna be ok. I had vsg on 12/30 Clear that I have tried Isopure (from gnc) Atkins lift True source Ensure clear (high in sugar, was wayyyyy to sweet) Feeling defeated, hopefully I can get into full stage when I talk to her tomorrow. Any one similar?

With that high of a bmi it is unlikely they would deny you, my bmi was 64ish, I do not have any issues (blood pressure, sleep apnea, etc) if your worried you can talk with your center, they are generally honest with you if they think your case is a good candidate. I was a little worried too. I'm 3 days post op now. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

5'2 ; surgery is in 4 days. Nervous and excited are the two defining words I can use right now.

My stomach is growling like a mad man, I'm honestly getting really scared for surgery. Anyone out there please help me figure out some recipes for fish? I'm not much of a fish eater, but it beats eating chicken all the time.. variety is key? I'm trying not to fail this. What i'm Allowed to eat: Plain chicken breast - no sauce or skin Egg whites (or egg beaters) - no yolks Water pack tuna Turkey - fresh deli White Fish - e, g, Tilapia, Mahi-Mahi Halibut, and Cod Seasoning - herbs, salt, pepper. broth sugar free popsicles Sugar free Jello and jello pudding mix low calorie drink mixes. water skin, unsweetened soy milk, unsweetened almond milk. torani sugar free syrups.

In Tempe, getting my surgery done on dec 30th with Dr John Debarros (WLIAZ), so long as my insurance approves me

I wish I was allowed veggies cause I would definitely do this! I'm gonna miss veggies and fruits for a while.. Hopefully after all the first stages of the diet I'll be able to tolerate them!

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, my stomach had calmed down after I ate chicken and slept haha I'm definitely going to give these suggestions a try! Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

Mine was no more than 30 minutes, asking various questions about why you want the surgery, how you may have gotten to the weight you are, the questions are not to judge or fix you, they are there to see if you are ready to get this and succeed, they want you to have a support system too. Hope it goes well! Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

Hello, Just hoping for some tips on post op day 1 or 1st week out, I will be following dr's orders, but any tips will be considered! I will be getting VSG surgery DEC 30th as an out patient, getting it done at a center of excellence in Arizona, Phoenix area, so far I know that I will be going back a day later to get my drain removed. post op diet is looking like 1 week clear, 1 week full liquids, 3 weeks puree'd and so forth. I'm nervous and excited. Not excited for 14 days of lovenox...

It's blood thinner, to treat deep vein thrombosis / prevent blood clots.

That's a lot of lovenox.
