What is one thing you use the most post-op



Recommended Posts

(I am very curious to see) What is one thing you use on a daily/ frequent basis that you just can't live without, related to having your VSG surgery?

My Water bottle. I feel like i don't quite get enough Water so i take it with me where ever I go. To the store, shopping, friends. Its one of those Tervis ones with a loop in the lid for easy carrying. I was sleeved 3 weeks ago today. Oh and chapstick, but i carried that around pre-surgery too. :)

My blender for my Protein shakes, crushes ice like a champ. Me to measure my food. My Water bottles with straws so I get my fluids in every day. My Bento boxes to pack my small portion lunches and Snacks in.

My wheeled backpack. It makes going to the gym easy.

I also heavily use my Water bottles (I have 2 I use the most, and 2 more that serve as backups), my shaker bottle, my nutrabullet, and my polar loop. They are all an important part of maintaining this lifestyle.

Does drinking from a straw bother your stomach at all? My doctor recommended no straws due to extra air entering the stomach.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
