Hello,

Just hoping for some tips on post op day 1 or 1st week out, I will be following dr's orders, but any tips will be considered!

I will be getting VSG surgery DEC 30th as an out patient, getting it done at a center of excellence in Arizona, Phoenix area, so far I know that I will be going back a day later to get my drain removed. post op diet is looking like 1 week clear, 1 week full liquids, 3 weeks puree'd and so forth. I'm nervous and excited.

Not excited for 14 days of lovenox...

I had 28 days of lovenox.

Try to keep up with Water. Keep it small. You have to learn what you can tolerate. At 6 weeks in I still can't eat chicken or meats. Most food grosses me out even water tastes sweet. I can't eat eggs now either. Everything sweet tastes bad. You can taste stuff that's strong better as you go on. Stick to Soups..watch Pasta and rice.
