HI ALL! I had my VSG surgery the first week of April and I’m hoping to make some friends on the same journey as me! Any advise on life after surgery?!

Hey there! I’m about four weeks out and I feel pretty good. I’m currently on the soft foods but should graduate this week to all foods.... where are you located?

Exciting!! I can’t wait to be there lol. I am located right outside Portland, OR. How about yourself?

Hello I’m 10 days post op feeling pretty good but very hungry sticking to Greek yogurt and protein shakes and soup. How about you all?

I had my surgery 4/9. My recovering so far has been easy with minimal pain. Still struggling to get all of 64 ounces of liquids down. So ready for the purée stage.

I’m still having trouble with the 64 fluid ounces a day...I have a protein shake first thing in morning, a few hours later 1/2 or 3/4 of a Greek yogurt. A small lunch, snack, dinner and I finish my day with a sugar free pudding

I’m in Philadelphia. I had my surgery 3/21 , I’m 4 weeks post op today, down about 33 pounds and experiencing alil stall currently.

Hi! Am not doing too bad myself. Although this morning I I woke up with a cramp like feeling in my feel and am paranoid it’s a blood clot, but i don’t want to be dramatic.

I haven’t been hungry but very thirsty. I am however over just having liquids!

I do feel like my energy is pretty low compaired to before surgery. I can only seem to gather energy for small periods of time then I’m exhausted. I’m thinking once I can eat actual food this will get better?! Anyone else feel that way?

jbraney,

all of your symptoms sound like you might be a little dehydrated: muscle cramps, thirst, and low energy/exhaustion are signs of dehydration.

Do your best to get your fluids in. If the symptoms don't improve, contact your doctor.

My surgery date was April 4th and I’m doing pretty well so far. I have to keep reminding myself to take it easier, because I’ll be really active one day and totally exhausted the next. I’m getting in my protein and trying my best to get in my water too. We just take it one day at a time. I can’t wait to move to puréed and soft foods next week. So very ready for food! ?

Glad you’re doing well! What are you eating now and when will you start soft foods?

I go for my first follow up appointment on Monday! Yay! Can’t wait to eat different things! So far I’m having liquids, protein shakes, plain Greek yogurt and cream of wheat. Soup broths too. I used to dislike tomato soup and now I actually really like it. I can’t wait until I can eat tuna or chicken again! That’s still a while off.

I was told I’m able to try eggs tomorrow [emoji847] never been so excited

I started scrambled eggs yesterday. They were so damn good and satisfying.
