Recommended Posts

I hope my fellow November sleevers are doing well!!!

I'm doing much better today (day 6 post op). Still have a little incision pain' date=' but not horrible.

Life is looking up!

I've decided to start a blog to chronicle my adventures with my VSG, so I thought I'd share it with you all...in case anyone is interested.

Today, I start the liquid diet phase of my journey. I honestly had a moment where I grieved for food last night, but I woke up with a renewed mindset and a Protein Shake. My whole life has revolved around food, Breakfast time we talk about what we will eat for lunch and lunch time we talk about what we will eat for dinner. I think that is the New Orleans in me, No more! I prayed this morning for strength to get through the liquid diet phase. Surgery is 7 days away....

Ok today is my day, sitting here with no sleep sick to my stomach and scared! I have to wait 2 more hours but I wish I could go now and get it done. I've read a lot of these posts and have learned a lot of people have to go through six months of appointments. In a way I feel like my time from the first consultation to now has been really to short.. But now I think it's good that's it's gone so fast because I've only had weeks to freak out instead of months..

Was sleeved on the 11th. Got discharged yesterday. Still sore but the key is to walk, walk, walk! Worse part was recovery but walking the first hour after recovery really helped. That barium swallow for the leak test was HORRIBLE! But good luck sleevers! Now to start losing!

I never got the barium swallow. Is that normal? My surgeon said that right after the surgery they puff up the new pouch with air and spray Water over it to look for bubbles... I always hear about the barium swallow and wonder if I am the only one who never got it...

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
