anewme17 reacted to Lannie in 7 days post op... concern
You will not be able to stretch the stomach with liquids. 11oz in an hour isn't too much - that is less than 2oz every 10 mins. Liquids will drain quickly from the stomach - so it really is a matter of what is comfortable.

anewme17 got a reaction from Mytimenow17 in 7 days post op... concern
I am wondering, how many ounces at a time should I be drinking my Protein Shake? I am getting down 11.5oz of Premier Protein shake within an hour. Is that too much at a time? Don't want to be dramatic but would this cause my sleeve to stretch due too much liquid?

anewme17 reacted to McButterpants in Biotin for hair loss?
hair loss here, too...it sucks.
My doc approved use of Biotin and Folic Acid. She isn't convinced that there is anything that will stop Hair loss, but didn't discourage me from trying. I also use Nioxin Shampoo.< /p>
I started losing my hair at 2 months and I'll be 4 months next week - I'm still losing. I can see some new growth which is encouraging. But I've been losing more in the last few weeks.
My doc said that anything you lose due to the surgery, will grow back.

anewme17 reacted to ClareBear1 in Energy levels after VSG?
How are your energy levels in the weeks and months after surgery? I have a very busy fall and I'm worried about having the energy to get my work done. My options are surgery in early August with 2.5 weeks off (but liquid diet for the week of extended family vacation) or mid-August with 1.5 weeks off (still requires a few days of liquid diet on vacation) or wait until next summer, which I don't want to do.
My job can be stressful. I can take some half days but I also have some required long days. But if I have to be on the liquid diet during the whole vacation, I will have to tell my whole family and I might be cranky.
So my questions are:
Will having an extra week to recover help me start back full throttle? So much so that it's worth being on the liquid diet during the whole vacation?
How will my energy levels be after a few weeks and months? How long before you could work long days with decent energy?

anewme17 reacted to char3672 in Packing for hospital??
I packed a bag to take to the hospital, and I'll be honest with you, the ONLY thing I used out of it was my phone charger. They wanted me to stay in the hospital gown, I kept their slippers on, and wore the clothes home that I wore in. Don't bother packing too much.
