    July 2021 Surgery People!

    Hi everyone! Surgery Status: 5 days post-op VSG (7/19 surgery date) Phase: full liquids- mostly just protein waters though Highest known weight: 274 Surgery weight: 264 Current Weight: 254.6 Inch loss: I’m only five days out so I haven’t measured myself yet. I have SO much abdominal swelling from the surgery, that even though I’m losing pounds my belly is bigger than it was before surgery 😞  NSV: not really anything yet- I think I feel happier though 
  2. Thank you for the encouragement! It was a little easier today but it definitely still sucked. I’m just trying to keep my mind in the right place and remind myself why I’m doing this.
  3. So I'm on the pre-op diet and I am consuming almost 160 grams of protein a day and I am still SO HUNGRY ALL THE TIME. I drink a ton of water, but it seems like no matter what I eat or drink, my stomach is still rumbling with hunger. Any suggestions on ways to make this more tolerable? Should I be consuming more protein (my pre-op diet instructions only recommended 70?)? Someone please tell me after the surgery that I won't feel this hungry all the time.
  4. I’m on day two. Thank you for responding- hopefully it gets better as time goes on.
