I'm new and I really don't understand how this forum works. I had a vsg august 28 2017 after a failed lapband. I only stayed overnight in the hospital..had minimal pain and was feeling great right away. No gas pains...NO stomach pains..my surgeon was amazing. I am down only 25#. I'm eating anything I want with no discomfort. Having said that I am eating only 1/4 cup or 4oz three times a day and trying to get my required protein.

I was under the impression that I wasn't going to feel physical hunger...but I feel hungry at times...physically. I get light headed..dizzy..nauseous and must eat something...this doesn't happen often but it DOES happen. Anyone else in the same boat?[emoji15]

I am completely in the same boat! I have not had difficulty tolerating anything except whey protein funny enough. I have to fight the urge to jump ahead in food progression to more high protein stuff though. I do get hungry sometimes, though I have found that thirst sometimes masquerades as growling stomach etc. for me. Welcome to the forum!

Are you on a PPI?

Also band to sleevers don't always have the same post-op experience as first time WLS sleevers.

25 pounds in a month is a lot of weight. I am not sure if only should ever go in front of a 25 pound one month loss...

If you have a good surgeon and heal well, eating shouldn't be an issue. Also your ability to eat things depends on what you are eating. 4 ounces of yogurt is going to be easy to eat, 4 ounces of steak, probably not.

I just got an RX for the PPI. Logically, I know that 25# in a month is a lot of weight...but since I suffered so much and so long with my band only to gain it all (50#) back...I guess I just want to be on a fast track to skinnyville. lol

Thanks for the info.
