I love that these forums help me to feel like I'm not alone.

Who else is getting sleeved June 30th?

I'd love to have surgery buddies to keep up with during the process.

Surgeon: Dr. Hargroder in Louisiana

SW 305

Height-5'7"

Ultimate Goal- 175

(although I must say being 199 would make me the happiest woman alive. Lol)

Just had surgery on the 30th... everytime I seem to lay down I get headaches... I am also a side sleeper and since my surgery I have slept on my back in bed propped up a little bit but it has my lower back killing me. I wished I had a recliner like I did for my csections. Also is it normal to have all this rumbling in the stomach while drinking, taking medicine, and just anytime. My stomach has been doing that constantly. I have also been so gassy and letting the farts go and occasional burps but it stills continues. Any help would be appreciated

I just had mine on the 30th too and experiencing the exact same things you are. Are your headaches better if you sleep in an upright position? I'm going to try that tonight. Yes I also have all the rumbling and sharp little pangs when I am sipping anything.

I had VSG done on the first of July and I am still really sore and tired...

The only pain I have is the incision areas.. standing up and sitting when their is pressure placed on those areas..

@@Ktprimo I am on a multi complete vitamin, vitamin D3, probiotic and biotin in addition to calmag and amino complex mixes.

I don't have a headache at all when standing up... but once I lay down its terrible my head feels like it's gonna burst in a million pieces... finally able to do #2 today and my gas is a little better. I still have all the rumbling in my stomach and it feels so weird. I got one premier protein shake down and drinking grape juice. I'm gonna work on my next protein shake here in a little bit. I have 4 kids and I have had alot of help. I can't wait to be 100% to do all my motherly, wifely duties.

Ok. So I'm not sure what just happened but it's like a switch was flipped to "on" in my intestines. "Everything" is back up and running properly and suddenly I can sip without burping and even get in two ounces within 20 minutes without having to stop for the acid to go down. I am one happy sleever right now!

Even managed to catch up on office work from home, edit some photos from the wedding I photographed for a client last week and do some laundry. Now I'm really tired, full and functioning well. Gonna take a well deserved nap.

Hope all of you are having a good day.

Can we do miso soup? Liquid only of course.

I am pretty sure it's safe as long as it's not too thick. Water it down a bit if it's more cloudy than clear. Miso is basically a mushroom broth so I'm pretty sure it's safe to eat in the clear liquid stage. I thought of getting myself some for this evening.

@@Ktprimo surprisingly I am feeling better too. Just suddenly everything is kicked in. I have almost 2 shakes down and a whole bottle of water.

Two 8 ounce protein shakes, 8 ounce chicken protein, a SF Popsicle, 8 ounces H2O by 3 pm! A lot of gas bubbles, but they passed quickly. That's 77 grams of protein but only 450 calories.

I did one shake today. I really can't do another. I added some Greek yogurt to some butternut squash soup but I am still short on protein today.

I actually find the list of what I need to take in a bit overwhelming so I am just gettong as close as I can. I do feel a lot better now than I did this morning and am grateful for that. I think taking my vitamins helped a lot.

I only got in 2 oz of strawberry low fat yogurt, 2 oz of G2, 2oz of broth with a quarter scoop of protein and 6oz of water. Not even close to the recommended daily protein or fluid intake. Don't know how I'm gonna do this. I don't wanna eat or drink at all. Never thought I'd hate the idea of food and drink so much. I don't even know how to tell if I'm full cuz I constantly feel full and I'm force feeding myself. Thought I was doing good this morning until I realized how little I consumed. Hope tomorrow is better.

I just made instant miso soup. Package in boiling water type. After I stirred in I put all of it into my nutribullet and emolsyphied it to all liquid. I've been sipping for over an hour. Good flavor. It feel medicinal like it helping heal me.. just a thought

I feel the same way - it's like I feel so bloated I may pop!

Question: do yall get over heated really quickly? And does anyone feel pain when the take a deep breath?
