Hello,

Thanks!! Glad you are doing well! No pain around incisions other then the belly button very minimal.

Good to know! Hopefully my pain around that incision will subside soon!

Hello,

I also had surgery on the 7th. Feeling good, but haven’t had a bowel movement. Has anyone else been having this problem?

Hi surgery date twin! Glad you’re feeling good other than the bowel movements. Sorry, I am no help with the bowel movements. I had the total opposite problem when I came home from the hospital.
Are you still in any pain around your incisions? I have one incision on my right side that is so painful every time I walk or stand or move.

Hi. I had gastric bypass, hernia repair and gallbladder removed on June 8. Today was my first full day home. I had no difficulty getting in my liquids but the Protein is another thing. I hate the sickening sweet taste of the clear Protein Drinks.

I would be lost without sugar free popsicles. Other than that, I’m playing a lot of candy crush and drinking Crystal Lite. And resting when I’m tired.

welcome!

I am the same way! I am so tired of sweet things but have no problem with crystal lite and water! My nutritionist called to check on me the day after I came home and I told her how hard it was for me to drink sweet things and she said that I could have cream of chicken Soup mixed with skim milk, so it becomes very thin, and then put it all in a blender with ricotta cheese and then strain it really well so there are no chunks and then warm it up on the stovetop. That has changed everything for me! It doesn’t have as much Protein as a Protein Shake but it’s better than not getting any protein! She also told me about Gatorade protein which has 10 grams of protein per bottle. I haven’t tried them yet but she said they aren’t as sweet as Protein Shakes so I may be able to handle those.

Hey everyone! Just joined! I had vsg on June 7th so I’m currently on the full liquid post op diet! Anyone else had their surgery June 7th or around that time?
