I am almost 4 weeks post op VGS. I use measuring cups still because anything more feels like too much. As I advance because of the importance of getting enough meat/protein, I probably will start weighing my meat.

I noticed today my tongue felt thick on top and looked in mirror. It was white with brown or greenish looking coat on the top. The edges of my tongue isn't smooth and my tongue is a pale pink. I'm thinking I will need to drink more fluids and maybe have thrush or yeast or something. Most of color comes off when scraping and rinsing with Listerine, but its still there. No pain or swelling. Has this happened to anyone else? I probably call doctor tomorrow.

I took of 3 weeks. I'm working from home doing Telehealth. I am 5 days out and exhausted. No major complications (no major pain, no nausea, no vomitting, no reflux, incisions healing) but I am fatigued, my tongue is coated white Patches and some brown colors that mostly scrape off) from my chocolate Protein Shakes, chewing Multivitamins, etc.. I assume. If it doesn't clear I probably call doc in a few days. I shouldn't be dehydrated because I'm drinking fluids all day (64oz). Maybe I should do 64 Water plus the liquid meals. I walk around the house and get dizzy. Make sure to take enough time off because I am thinking I should have taken 6 weeks.

Trying to add the daily Vitamin with Iron , drink Water. anything else I am missing? I want this procedure to go smoothly.

I am in Georgia and I am experiencing delays. Things are starting to open up and the Doctor recommends July or August. I am a newbie and still going through items on my checklist.
