Hello

Hope everyone is doing fine! I had VSG on Monday 8/15 at around 9:3O am. When I woke up I felt fine similar to when I woke up from my appendectomy. I was in the recovery room for about 4 hours, during the first 2 hours I had the dire need to urinate so they wanted to put a bowl in my bed I was like hell no I need a toilet lol I honestly do not know how people pee laying down so they gave me a chair that had a toilet and I peed just fine. Then after that I was half asleep and they took me to my room. I was up and walking several times every hour and half I would do 5 laps and I even did 8 laps at around 4 am. Then at 6 am they took some blood and at 9:30 I was sent to get Xray and that liquid was disgusting!!!!! after the Xray was performed I was like I need to puke ASAP. So I did it hurt it sucked but that was that. My surgeon came in at 12 said everything was fine no leaks or anything. And he was like that I can finally drink clear liquids! Monday day of surgery I didn't have anything not even ice chips so I was super excited. He said that if the liquids go down easily then I could go into the next phase which is puréed foods I kept thinking damn that's fast but hey he must know so at 5 I ate like 2 tablespoons of cottage cheese and 2 of apple sauce and was so full lol. and then they were ok great no nausea then you could go home! I got home. Wednesday I drank half of my Premier Protein in an hour or so and my mom made me baby food that she does for my baby niece I ate like 1.5 onz. And yeah today is Friday I feel amazing no pain no gas no nausea and no chest pains! I feel very lucky and exicted! Hope everyone can have q smooth recovery like me! Positive vibes

I had my surgery on August 10th and my Doctor and Dietician just this past Wednesday added Greek yogurt and cottage cheese to my shakes and clear fluids. It is getting really hard. I want eggs and mashed potatoes at least.

Hi there, you said you were only able to drink half of your Protein. This may sound like a stupid question but what did you do with the other half of protein?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
