January surgeries?!

  • Popular Post
My VSG is scheduled for January 7th, 2019. I have to get it done before school starts up, which is January 14th. Is anyone else celebrating getting a surgery date like I am!?

I’ve also had weetbix which I used to like but it now tastes like horse food.

Ive eaten oats twice and both times they made me feel a little weird. Not full on dumping but definetly not right.

This sounds amazing right now ... I’m ready for some actual food I guess. Do you make it with water or fairlife milk?

I’m doing great. Struggling with food choices, scared I’m overeating, blocked up, back at work full time, walking 8k steps a day and loving the kgs and cms falling off me ??
Sorry how are you doing also??

Feeling the same way scared to eat because it's like I feel it falling in my stomach. Sorry I am being extra??

Haha it’s a massive learning curve ? I don’t feel it falling into stomach and am on semi-Solids already.

I worry that I can ‘eat’ heaps more than a girl I know who had it done a year ago but still no pain or discomfort from overeating. So guessing every stomach is different post op and I’m just being paranoid and that what I’m eating purées to the right size suggested roughly ?‍♀️?

Omg I just threw up my first time I only had mashed up tuna and mashed up boiled egg like 3oz and threw it all up. My first sensation was uncomfortableness, excessive salvia and the overwhelming need to throw up. Sorry tmi I just never experienced it until now yuck ?

Oh tightness a bit in my chest and in my back ?

I did the same thing the other morning I had a boiled egg and all of sudden I started sweating and a lot of saliva in my mouth. I started gagging over and over again nothing really came up but I felt so bad for most of the day. I had to take a pill for nausea. I said that I am so done with eggs I have tried scrabbled and boiled.
