Question all.

It seems that my restriction varies from day to day. Some days, I can drink my Protein Drink within an hour and other days it takes about 3-4 hours! That is amazing, I also find the restriction is greater in the morning, therefore, I really cant drink or eat hardly anything until lunch time. However, today was the tightest restriction, that Ive ever had. It wasnt a problem, I just noticied that I couldnt take in as much as I have on previous days--- I mean I drove all the way to the other side of town to get this Soup and all I could eat was about 4 tsps! I was so disappointed BUT so GLAD all at the same time. I will just sip on it for 2-3 days until im done.

Is this normal for your post op VSGers? :001_cool:

I have the same issue, and I'm 4 months out. I am definitely more restricted in the morning, but I'm able to get in my Water in the morning. I just can't eat anything until around 10am-11am.

You're not alone Shanda. I am very restricted in the morning, so I start every morning with something warm - first it was herbal tea, but now I drink coffee - I'm able to get one cup down between the time I get up (6:15) and the time I leave for work (8:00) then when I get to work, I generally have a hot tea. I don't even TRY eating anything until at least 10:30 - generally I just wait until lunch at 11:30. It takes me quite some time to eat lunch - generally an hour - sometimes longer -- I don't even try to drink anything cold until about 3:00 ... I don't know if part of the problem is my spasms or if it's just restriction. I am nearly 4 months out ... so every day is still an experience, I've just finally found something that seems to work for me -- the warm helps reduce the restriction.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
