Officially approved for VSG



Recommended Posts

I'm so exited and happy because I got approved today for my VSG in the 28th this month. Any tips? What about food shopping before surgery?

My full liquid diet after surgery includes light yogurt (with no stir ins), strained low fat cream Soup, Protein drinks, Jello, skim milk, sugar free Popsicles. I would buy enough of these items for your first 2 weeks.

Also make sure you have your supplements.

I'm excited too.. I'm scheduled for Jan 4

Congrats! My pre-op and post-op diet is the same. I'm allowed things like cottage cheese, light Greek yogurt, sugar free Jello and pudding, blenderized low fat Soups, Protein drinks, etc.

I went to BJs before my surgery and picked up a case of the premier Protein Drinks and they also had a box of 24 assorted sugar free jellos and puddings. I'm only 2 days out from surgery and still in the hospital so I have no desire to eat anything, we'll see what my taste buds like when I get home.

Congrats! Very exciting!! Be sure to stock up on everything you will need ahead of time. Find a Protein drink that you "like" before hand so you're not struggling then. Be sure to have lots of sugar-free Jello and popsicles on hand for when that initial "head hunger" strikes. Good luck on your journey!

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
