I Wish I had a one week follow up! Mine is still a week away! I have questions!

Just want to thank everyone who has posted thier experiences. I am scheduled for VSG tomorrow! Yikes!?!? This forum has been very helpful in preparing me for what to expect over the next few weeks.

Vsg was June 17th with hernia repair. Just wanted to say hello [emoji112]

@Drinkwine28 and @Iluvbats I’m with you on it being HARD! I posted earlier because I was so excited I did it (surgery 6/21) and was feeling good. This is post op day 4 and now I’m feeling lots of things. ? Still have pain from hernia repair (minor but annoying), weird bubbly tummy that sometimes feels like hunger growls - but isn’t, and feel gassy.
I have major head games happening. My brain will not stop thinking about all sorts of junk food - even food that I didn’t really care about before (it’s like a junk food slide show in my head).
I am on a liquid diet the first two weeks and can then introduce softer foods slowly. I’ve been having lots of water, Gatorade zero, protein drinks, and tried some broth. I’m fantasizing about those eggs and cottage cheese among other things! ? I am keeping a journal and telling myself that I can’t give into my brain games the first 6 months. I think being able to chew will help in the future. It has to get better, right?
We can do this!

Welcome! I am 11 days post-op and really loving the decision I made to get VSG. The support from others telling their experiences really helps because no one knows what we go through except for us, right.
