Hi all! I got ESG in New York City 2.5 days ago. So far, so good. I stopped taking pain and nausea meds the day after the procedure. My worst symptom by far is my trapped gas (and sore throat but it isn’t severe, just noticeable). My doc recommended Mylanta for the trapped gas; I’m still waiting to see if it will be helpful. I had a natural bowel movement today as well, so my body seems to be responding quite well to the procedure. I transition to puréed foods on 5/20, but as of now no feelings of hunger have kicked in yet. For context, I’m 34 years old. SW at ESG was 218.6; 2.5 days later CW (at follow up appt) was 211.8. I’m so excited about what my future holds post-ESG! Feel free to ask me questions! I’ll keep updating the forum.

Hi!! I'm so glad I found you guys. Now I don't have to go on Facebook and find a group LOL
I had my ESG on May 11. I'm on day 11 and i've had to start soft foods because i was waking up in the middle of the night with such bad gas/hunger pains.
I know there are guidelines but I'm learning I have to listen to my body too. Stomach is no longer cramping unless i ingest too quickly which is my personal habit I need to break.
My biggest struggle? The mental stuff. My anxiety/depression has been triggered and my low energy due to low calorie eating has just been a recipe for a panicked feeling. I haven't felt like this in a while, and it was unexpected.

Is there anyone or anything that talks about your mental health and well being after ESG? I guess I didn't realize how much I used food for emotional stability.

Thanks for reading and I hope to help other people as well 😍
