@sentaric I was responding to Lisarocks 😁 I had my vsg surgery on June 4th. I go for my two week post op check tomorrow morning! And absolutely reading all the posts here kept me sane during my 2 week pre op liquid hell diet And certainly afterwords when I was 48 hours out of surgery and sure that I had made a mistake. This forum has been super helpful! 👌🏻🙏🏻😍

Thanks so much. Just finished first of seven liquid days. I am eager to get healthy and feel good again. What is the “binder” someone mentioned? Haven’t heard anything about that. A little concerned about possible complications, and knowing what to do after. Happy I found this site. Thanks for the warm welcome

The binder is like a wrap some surgeons wrap you in right after surgery. It helps with the incisions and gravitational pull on your stomach. It just wraps around your stomach. I love mine.

@Lisarocks my pain meds weren’t working properly and once that was fixed everything was peachy! The drive home was hard, definitely bring a pillow to hold against your tummy, it helps. The first few days I could barely get my Water in and I was scared because I was hardly getting any Protein, but after reading comments here and people telling me to just get my Fluid in and the protein would come secondary it eased my mind a lot. Now I can get my protein in like a champ and it’s not a big deal

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
