I JUST WANT TO WISH ALL OF US MARCH 2018 VSG POST OP BABIES A HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! ONE YEAR AGO WE TOOK A CHANCE TO SAVE OUR LIVES AND HERE WE ARE! i HAVE LOST HALF OF MYSELF, LITERALLY HALF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Y SURGEON IS EVEN BAFFLED IT IS UNEXPECTED THAT I DID THIS WELL AND I JUST PRAISE GOD FOR IT!!!! HW - 195 KG/430 LBS NOW TODAY!!! - 97 KG/213.8 LBS HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL MARCH 5TH SLEEVERS IN PARTICULAR!!!

Yeah, my doc is pretty strict too. My stage 1, is 2 weeks clear liquids only. Then on March 20th, I can move onto full liquid and puree for 2 weeks. THEN it's soft foods from Apr 3rd, THEN it is real food Apr. 17th. Now THIS is gonna really test my character lol.

Well nobody asked me but I think I might help someone. Just some quick bullet points. - Day 1 and 2 prepare to be THIRSTY. Icechips are a joke but they will be your friend for now. You will think you are hungry but that's just your stomach enzymes acting up. You can only sleep on your back. You will be irritable, but it WILL PASS. - Day 3 and 4 you will be able to get more liquids in. I was going on 500 MLs which was exciting. You can slightly sleep on your sides now.You will hate the smell of food and even seeing it. However you will cherish your jello, clear soup, and tea. You need to train your mind and hand to put down the spoon between sips of "food" Use a timer. You will walk muuuch better too. A good way to relieve gas/belching - peppermint oil in water! Helped me SO MUCH. 3-4 drops in water, miracles happen! -Day 5-7, now this is when you start to feel much better pain wise. You can do a 360 (slowly!) turning in your bed. Belching and gas goes down a hundredfold. You have internalized your "timing" for sips, like a champ I say. You are drinking 1-2L/day now. You will be fatigued a lot. Make sure to find a way to get electrolytes in your water. Also BUY A CLEAR PROTEIN DRINK! Save your life! Half of it with the other half water. Constipation issues arise - BENEFIBER, trust me on this. Food/smells actually don't make you wanna hurl anymore. Watching food videos is a pleasure - you see the horizon of puree stage coming up next week! Go for a real walk on Day 6 or 7, it will be a PLEASURE. ANYONE WANNA ADD MORE to help our future March '18 Sleeve Army?
