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.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
