It’s normal to feel pain. It’s your stomach saying it’s full
remember your readjusting your stomach. I had my operation on July 4th so only recently on purées also

I agree - my surgeon said I could have MyProtein shakes etc my Dietitian said no. I messaged her with the comparisons of everything and she said it’s fine. My surgeon said I’ve obviously done my research and asked questions which was his guidance so he knows I’m not going to go off track….. my PreOp was high Protein low carbs low fat and my post off was Clear Liquids and then full liquids which I’ve struggled with and to get the fluids in. Yes everyone has a different experience but speak to your surgeon as they will know what’s best and they ultimately know more and are more supportive

That’s what the surgeon is there for and he needs to be aware of your feelings as there needs to be more support PreOp and an explanation. I was able to choose what I was having PreOp and I wasn’t even told to have shakes I chose to.
Speak to your surgeon

My PreOp was food - high Protein low carbs. I wouldn’t worry as the whole process is to shrink and soften your liver. Mention to your doctor or say nothing. A friend who did Bariatric said she didn’t stick to hers and it still happened.
I had a chicken burger and french fries with a soft drink a couple of days before my surgery and my liver had shrunk and there were no complications and my dr said they didn’t need the tool to lift they could use a stitch xx hope this helps

I didn’t have much pain just the trapped air…. The same about the sensation as I swallow 😢
I weighed myself before leaving the hospital and gained the nurse said it’s the IV…. I was like OMG lol
How many days are you? X

Thank you ❤️
Tomorrow I’m moving onto the Protein drinks so hopefully will be able to get fluids in.
I did find PreSurgery drinking the protein Water sachets but using more water helped.

Provisionally booked for July 4th - saw my surgeon today and that’s the date we agreed upon now to wait and see if the approval comes through.

I’m researching all the things I’ll need so I have in the house ready. I finish school on Thursday July 1st then have a weekend with my sons before the surgery on July 4th....
LRD begins June 20th - The Dietitian has said my LrD will be meal based so trying to work out how to calculate Protein etc so I don’t go wrong - she said I shouldn’t do any shakes and 3meals a day which is going to be a nightmare already trying to get the Fluid intake in when no bottles are allowed in the class
she also said My Protein is not approved by Dept of health where I am and pushing for me to buy Optifast (reminds me of Slimfast In the uk 🤮🤢) plus is $50 per box/pack and if I don’t like then it’s a waste of money
I want to start meal prep so I’ll only have to be preparing meals for my children and husband after surgery and not cooking meals for myself and them
excited but stressing out as I’d planned everything then the dietitian put a spanner in the works

Spoke to my dietitian - she has said which ones to avoid and why and that they all seem to be similar etc so should be okay. As everything will be exported and with a recent announcement of buying local Ive got to either buy through Amazon or use a company registered within the country.

My date is July 6th! Thought it was June 21st but learned that’s my pre-op appointment date. I’m so ready to get this done :)

@Seija problem is everything is everything needs to be exported and can be expensive 🙉🙈🙊
I just want to have it less stressful 😬

I have my VSG booked for 27th July -- impatiently counting down the days 📆🤩 Meanwhile I am doing all the research I can on how to best prepare myself mentally for this huge change.
What is everyone else up to in these exciting weeks before? @MoreThanWords @Steveo2ray @CzarinaQ @motherofboys @LizzLosingIt @Sammys_VSG_Evolution @laurenantics @Karriekuddles
