Good luck to those of u who are having surgery today & all this week! Wishing u all the best & prayers for a fast easy recovery! Can't wait to hear how it all goes.

For those who had surgery already... How is the weight loss going? I weighed myself Saturday morning (4 days post op) & was down 8 Pounds! I haven't weighed again yet. I'm waiting til I have my post op tomorrow afternoon. I'll let u all know tomorrow. I'm hoping for atleast 10 in the 1st week )

Does yogurt count on your full liquids?

My dr told me that I can't have yogurt until I go to my post op appt (I believe it's in the pureed stage) but double check with ur dr to make sure. I know so many drs do everything differently[/QUOMine said after 5 days post op I can have Greek yogurt. Be sure to look at the sugar levels on everything. If it's more then 10g/serving don't have it. Your body can't handle that much sugar anymore so you have to read all labels and be careful

I had my surgery last Thursday and came home Saturday afternoon- this post op period is the weirdest! Knowing I need to eat/drink every so often and having zero appetite is such a new sensation. Yesterday I accidentally took 2 anti nausea pills which set up up great for the day.. My husband and I went for long walk, think I over did it a bit and today I got hit hard with nausea. I was having a hard time making sure I'm at least getting half if the expected protein/liquids in but I've wished up and made my Protein Shakes into popcicles that seems to be helping me to get them in! sugar free Rita's Italian ice has also been my favorite might grab some more today and add some vanilla Protein Powder to get more

Protein in! I did weigh myself a few times ( my husband said he's going to take the scale away from me if I don't stop! Lol) first day I was so full of liquids I was higher then when I left for surgery!! Ahh!! But when I got on today (4 days post op I'm down 10! Probably bc I'm not getting everything I need but it's def a motivator to get it in so the scale keeps moving downward! Good luck this week with post op!

As far as Soups go, I just find different ones at the grocery store and blend them to oblivion with some chicken broth added until they are fairly thin. That way your choices open up pretty wide! Just make sure to pour it through a strainer before you drink it so there are no chunks. I did french onion the other day and it was heaven! I have also found that I can add nearly a full scoop of Unjury unflavored to a cup of Soup like that after I heat it (don't heat it with the unjury already in it), and I seriously can't taste it in there. I am staying away from Tomato Soup though; afraid of too much acid quite yet. Although it really sounds yummy! I am finding myself really tired of all the sweet liquids, and definitely craving the savory. I have another two full weeks of liquids to go until I see my doc! But, I'm feeling pretty good and no complications, so I can't complain.

Hi all! Anyone who has already been sleeved, have you had the "I'm stuffed" feeling? I haven't felt it yet, I'm concerned that I'm not eating enough? Or something is wrong? Any advice would be great!!

Have you looked on the sleeve forum? I know there are some VSG folk here but it's mainly bypass people. I think theses same forums are available under VSG and LapBand
