Post op experiences & favorite easy foods
My surgery went well in my recovery just like everybody else was somewhat annoying but once I got through it everything’s been great. I have an Instagram page with meals that I eat if you want to take a look at it. You can see it at “my_tiny_healthy_plate”. You really have nothing to be scared about as long as you follow your plan to the letter. I personally believe the more water you drink before & after the better.

First Stall - less than 2 weeks after surgery???
Again it could take up to 3 months & possibly sooner to start seeing things happen. I only get my weight at appointments & have no scale at home. Just follow your plan and it will happen. I felt the same way as you when I went to appointments and got weighed but I never complained on here because my surgery group informed me that in the beginning this would most likely happen. Some people are fortunate and start losing right away & some may not even be truthful just for a pat on the back. These words came right from my dietitian. Just relax & see how your doing at 2 & 3 months out. For now you’re absolutely not a stall. This is completely normal. I would love to see an update at 2 & 3 months though. Things have definitely improved for me during that period.

No it’s not possible! Way to early to be concerned with weight loss. You shouldn’t even be weighing yourself for the first 3 months. Just get in your protein & nutrients. Sorry but I’ve seen posts like this 100 times now & it’s becoming comical. Just calm down & worry about recovery. You don’t just get out of surgery & instantly start losing weight. Your body is in shock right now. It will happen soon enough.

Feeling like my life is over
Sorry to hear your having trouble but just stay positive. So you now have a prolonged recovery. Follow instructions to the letter. You’ll soon be eating normal in smaller amounts. Hope your on the mend soon. Be well!

I can only eat 1 egg & a piece of Turkey Sausage. If I’m still hungry I eat a clementine. That’s breakfast for me.

You are correct! Very small plate.

It’s a saucer plate & I ate that serving size. I’m 3 months out. That’s why I’m curious about pouch sizes. It’s a small piece of fish though.

Wow! The cost of Surgery.
Yikes! I’m on disability & my surgery was covered 100%. That said your estimate of $3,500 is what I’ve read many people pay for their surgery. Might be much less to have it in Mexico.

VGS with uncorrected abdominal hernia
Been there & was told it would be better to lose 100 pounds as I had my gallbladder removed years ago which is the cause of two hernia repairs at the incision site. I never want this surgery again! It was far more painful than my sleeve which compared to hernia surgery was a walk in the park. So soon I will be having my 3rd hernia repair as a result of gallbladder surgery & mesh trimmed to fit which was obviously trimmed a bit to much!
