HI Chi-chic here,

I was sleeved in Chicago on 12/29/09. Regretted it the first day due to anesthesia related paralyzing nausea. Second day and beyond I am sailing through getting better everyday with walking, Protein, getting out the house etc.

Hi all, was sleeved on the 29th as well, of course regretted doing it the first few days, but now being 6 days out feel better except for one annoying incision which really bugs me when i cough or sneeze, but that too shall pass. . . it's not infected just sore. . . still on Clear Liquids until Tuesday, then start mushies (can't wait), no nausea here at all. . . only problem was REALLY swollen belly. . . looked major pregnant! That was not attractive at all . . .

I just went to wal mart and I am pooped! Are you having a problem w energy? I ws shopping for stuff to start eating Tues. I found Protein Water packets to add to bottles of water. They are only 5g of protein but as long as I am sipping, I may as well be getting some protein, right? I got the strawberry kiwi. I think it is by Kellogs. I like it.

What ideas do ya;ll have for eating on Tues?

If you are checking back in to this forum, I am about to post an easy cream of broccoli Soup that I think we can eat tomorrow. It is easy to make and pretty high in Proteins. It will be under the recipe sharing.

I was sleeved on the 29th! I weighed myself for the first time today and can't believe it! I have just moved onto full liquids. Once I stop feeling so panicky about "am I doing it wrong?" or "am I going to get a leak?" I will be in a way better place. But it's going really well so far!

How is everyone? It seems like some of us have been moved along at different rates as far as our diets. I get to start mushies Tues. So far grits have given me the most problem. I fill up on them really fast. How are you doing on your protiens?

Hi sorry I have been a little MIA. Trying to take care of little things, because I go back to work on wed 1/13/10 after my 2 week post-op visit.

Energy: not that bad, I have been going to the gym for a 30 min treadmill walk (i live in the frigid midwest) after that I need a nap, but overall I feel great!. End of the day I am tired and sleep good, but during the day is ok.

Food: I move to soft solid foods this wed. I have been on pureed consistency since I left the hospital. I still seem to have to have a Protein shake daily to make my 60-75 grams. Hopefully that will change once I move to soft solids and can have more chicken. I do get real full on a few spoonfuls of food, so that may present a challenge when the food is more solid/dense.

gas: still burp alot, I think this is how I have to judge full. More need to burp as I fill up.

weight: I lost a lot that first week 14 over the first few days, then my monthly came and gained 2 back, now i'm down another 4 for a total of 16 lbs since surgery.

Just my little update. Please let me know how its going for everyone else.

Wow that is good. I have not gotten in that much Protein yet. Today is the best I have done and so far I have only gotten in 38 grams. I feel like I have to try to eat all the time to get it in. Am I the only one not getting enought protein?

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
