Hi everyone, I went to the infusion center on Tuesday and I feel so much better. I’m scheduled for a upper gi test today just to make sure everything is okay. Thanks for those that check on me. I definitely appreciate it.

Oh thank goodness!

Hey everyone! So I just had my 1 month appointment (but really I am 6 weeks out, so two more weeks of soft foods and then no restrictions according to my plan, Dr. was thrilled with my progress so far, 30lbs since surgery 50 since we met lol (yes I am back in a stall) lol but I am ok with that. I keep following my plan, the best part was she told me she was removing all restrictions (first thing I did was go home and pick up my daughter BEST FEELING EVER). She also increased my exercise goals so that was great too! I got up this morning and did 2.5 miles on the elliptical and than was treated to a bathroom surprise lol. I feel pretty good about it all, except they have said to finish out my Protein Drinks and buy no more... try and get Protein in through just foods, So I am going to try and work out a plan, I tried to say but hey I am not hungry, she said she understands, but the Liquid Protein is taking a lot of room, and I may be able to eat more on days I don't have it... so we will see... over all it was a great meeting, and hopefully I will break my stall this week! Fingers crossed!

I am sorry, and hope you feel better soon, maybe drink some Gatorade zero if you can tolerate it?

I went to the doctors today and I’m dehydrated. The infusion center couldn’t fit me in so I have to go back tomorrow to get fluids and I’m back on a liquid diet until Thursday

I’ll definitely keep you guys updated. I haven’t felt this horrible in a long time.

I did had surgery on 11/21 and this week I haven’t. I don’t know if this is a cold or the flu but it’s really starting to take me down this week. I was supposed to go back to work tomorrow but my doctor wants me to come down there first thing in the morning.

right, I really think it is healing pain, I have been sleeping on my back for the most part but your right if I lean and do different movements is when I feel it, and your right it is more of an annoying thing that a OMG is this an ER thing lol, I will keep you all posted about appointment on Monday.

I did make a salmon yesterday figured I would share as it was yummy:
Over all portion 1/5 fillet ends up being 285 calories
26 grams Protein, 9 carb, 7 sugar and 5 fat
took teaspoon of butter (really I used the lite butter and oil mix as it is lower in fats and salts)
teaspoon of garlic minced
warmed in a skillet for 1 minute
(seasoned filet of salmon with salt and pepper)
mixed lite and low sodium soy sauce 1 teaspoon, 1 tablespoon of natures own organic honey and 1 tablespoon of Water poured into skillet.
squeezed half a lemon into skillet and put in the salmon, cooked each side 4 minute, and then broiled on low for an additional 6 minute to brown.
was amazing, one day I will add veg to it but for now just split half the fillet into two portions and rocked my protein up to 75 grams with that so I was thrilled.

I had also tested previous ingredients minus the honey that was my new ingredient for the meal, but it worked out pretty well.

I suddenly had bad pain about 12 days out and it lasted a couple of days. It was most noticeable when bending over or laying on my side or stomach. It startled me too because, like you, it was new pain that I hadn't been having. But it only lasted a few days and all is well again!

Very common after surgery.
Alot of people can't tolerate cold liquids.
So room temperature/warm is better.
Sometimes our tummy's are just brats [emoji23]
Just gotta figure out what goes down best for you.

Has anyone noticed that warm liquids are easier to tolerate than cold liquids...why is that or is it just me #VSGProblems

I had two days like this about two weeks after, I thought uh oh for a minute, but I was still able to eat and drink no pain so I had to realize it was healing pain, and then it went away, I stayed in the showers a little longer on those three days, but it was tough. Look at the wound sites make sure nothing is red or angry or leaky looking and if worried call your dr. they will be able to talk you through.

Just an update. I had surgery Nov.16th. Had my 2 week follow up yesterday. I have lost 20lbs since surgery and 41lbs since I begin this journey. He also told me that the issue with the stomach pain when drinking liquids should go away in about 2 months. So I got a good check and go back in 30 days. How is all my other Nov, peeps doing? Love reading about every ones journey.

yes I do and have even had to take two caps a day.... it is crazy, I will be talking to my dr about this when I see them again, I spoke to them last week and the changes they made didn't really help... so IDK.

It’s the night before surgery, can’t get to sleep. I’m a mix of nervous and excited. Hopefully goes ok.

I believe it's ricotta, marinara, cheese, an egg, and Italian spices. Mix it all and bake it. Sounds amazing. I can't wait until I am on purees I miss food.
You can also make chicken/ tuna salad, hard boiled eggs chicken or tuna and mayo
Cottage cheese and fruit of choice
Meatballs marinara and cheese
Chicken, Frank's wing sauce, blue cheese dressing.

These are just a few ideas I've seen

Hi everyone
New here. Sleeved 11/26 so Thanksgiving this year was a Protein shake! I am just a few days post op and on full liquids for 2 weeks.

I've been seeing that a lot of people were able to do the same. I am going to check with my surgeon tomorrow. Hopefully I can. Today is the first day I think I've felt "hungry" but I also have been doing a terrible job with my liquids and only had a half of a Protein Shake .. so maybe that's it as well.

No, it hasn't caused any issues. It's my favorite thing to take for these issues because it's flavorless and not harsh at all. No painful cramping or bloating or anything.
