Hello.
New to this forum, but hoping to become a regular to help with my success.

I'm a lap band to VSG conversion. I had surgery on June 26th. After 3 years of nothing but miserable challenges with my lap band, my surgeon performed my Lap Band removal and VSG procedure at the same time.

I'm now almost a week post op and just trying to get to my new normal.

I know every surgeon has their own "rules" but wondering if anyone is struggling with dairy. Every time I try and eat my Greek Yogurt or anything "dairy" I get very nauseous and my stomach is very angry.

What are you all eating 6 days post op?

Welcome! I was told to stay on clears the first week and liquids the second, but as you mentioned many of us will have different eating plans. My sleeve was very angry the first three weeks. I couldn't have any diary, so I opted for yogurt made with almond milk.

good luck!

Thanks for the reply!

My surgeon is all about the immediate Protein. But, I think my belly has other plans! I have backed off the dairy and have been focused more on just letting my new belly heal and get in what I can. Lactose free Protein shakes, broth, sugar free popcycles, and Jello is what I am currently trying.

I know it's going to be different everyday. So, I'll just keep trying!

Thank you again! :)

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
