Sugar free pudding is part of the full liquid stage so if your Dr/Nut has you scheduled to be on full liquids right now then go for it. My Dr had me on full liquids 3 days post op

Today was day 1 of soft foods, I ate about 2 oz of baked fish(about 4 tiny bites) and couldn't eat anymore, felt like I just had a huge steak or a burger.....you will soon experience it

It will get better as the days progress. Walking around the house helped me a lot with the gas. Feel better soon [emoji3]

My surgeon prescribed zofran to prevent nauseousness. Maybe get a prescription for that to help you.

Thanks for the feedback I'm taking notes, tracking how often it happens and how long after I drink something.

Interesting I feel it even when I am not swallowing too. My follow up is next week, I will be addressing this question to my surgeon as well.

4 days post op, the only regret I feel is the pain from having the surgery, other than that I am just home relaxing following my Dr's orders, taking it one day at a time, looking forward to the future of a healthier me...... HW 243 SW 237 CW 232

Oh wonderful i am not looking forward to dealing with this over the next weeks, especially now that I am on full liquids

I am 3 days postop and I occasionally can feel my sleeve when something is passing through. It's a weird feeling yet very painful at the same time. Had anyone experienced this?

Thanks so much, you as well [emoji4]

Quick update, on my last weigh in at pre op class I was up by 2 lbs. I had my pre admission testing and PCP released medical clearance last Thursday. Got the call today my insurance approved me so I am all set for my surgery this Thursday.

Wow so sorry to hear this, would have been nice if your PCP came to this conclusion sooner. Why not try getting the letter from your GYN since they would have your medical history(weight) too. Good luck!

Thank you for the tip I just may try that, and blessings to you on your journey as well.

Wow good for you that's great news, all the best with your surgery too.

I have Anthem BCBS, I guess I will just have to wait and see how this plays out. Meanwhile I will keep with the routine of taking my Vitamins, getting in my Protein and watching my carbs and staying away from sugar. All the best to you with your surgery.

i am scheduled for VSG on Mar 16th and I am nervous about not getting the final approval from my insurance. My last weigh in for the 6 month required medically monitored weight loss program i gained 5 pounds. The dietitian has me coming back for another 1 on 1 with her because she wants to make sure that i am at back down to my starting weight before i attend the preop class. She advised that even though insurance uses the starting weight for approval if they see thst i have gained prior to final approval. i could be denied. since that news I have been nervous about getting all the way to this point and not getting approved. For the past few weeks my weight has been fluctuating within that 5 pounds. i lost the 5 then I'm back up 3, I lose 2 then I'm back up 1. Can anyone share what they experienced with their preop weight and getting final approval from insurance company? Thanks.
