I had surgery 8/12. I've been eating sugar free peppermints to help with the bad taste and breath issues. I still haven't been able to start exercising. I don't have energy and I take mutlivitamins, sublingal B12 everyday. My diet is getting slightly better. I had a situation where I drank too soon after eating last week and it was terrible. Horrible pain and everything came back up. I won't do that again.

Hello everyone! I had my gastric sleeve and (unexpected) hiatal hernia repair on August 12th. Post op hasn't been fun. I should be on purees this week, but I can't swallow much. Just Water, broth, and gatorade. I'm praying things will get better. I can now wear my wedding ring. So I'm definitely losing weight.

Hi all! Has surgery on August 3, 2021, down about 18 lbs from that date.

I had the Gastric Sleeve on August 2, 2021. I received an unexpected Hernia Repair as well. My recovery has been a challenge. Today I went to see my PCP and we are going to see how my labs look on Monday. I should be able to eat some soft foods right now. Unfortunately most foods that I have attempted make me feel very ill. I HOPE and PRAY this gets better. My PCP was very reassuring. He stated that the Surgeon had to move around my Vagus Nerve during this Hiatal Hernia Repair. This is going to make my recovery time longer than if I had only had the Gastric Sleeve. He said that my brain is still trying to figure out my new normal.

I had my sleeve surgery done August 5th!!! Best decision I have every made for my health. I am down 20 pds and feeling my best. This journey is Beautiful!!!

Ok! So, 3 weeks post VSG. Down 26 lbs. But still find myself in the soft foods stage with a hard time transitioning. Can barely keep anything down other than applesauce, broth, greek yogurt and my shake. I know it gets better with time. It’s just not the same for everybody.
