I have to stay overnight but I don’t have to do a pre op diet. Anyone else doesn’t have to be on a certain diet before surgery?

I had my surgery yesterday. I also did not have to do a special pre op liquid diet. However, my surgeon did want me to stick to a stage 1/2 diet the day before surgery.

Hey there ! I have one week of pre op diet left too. My surgery is 10/13. I just had my call with the OR and it feels so real now ! There were so many instructions I wasn’t expecting. It was so thorough which I liked.

when is your date
Mine is on the 13th as well! I'm meeting with a nurse and a physiotherapist tomorrow to go through everything during op and post op [emoji16]

I had my VSG done yesterday. Have to say it has not been easy for me. I have so much gas and have barely been able to release some. I hope they let me go home today. I have tried walking a lot to release gas but hasn’t helped much. Other than that I am fine. Just super uncomfortable.

The gas pain is pretty rough! When I was in the hospital I barely passed any! It wasn’t until the night I got home (day after surgery) that I was finally able to release some.


What felt good to me was continuously adjusting the hospital bed to lay flat for a few minutes, then sit up the next few, then back down. I feel like that helped move the gas around in my body so it wasn’t just sitting at my shoulders. I hope you feel better soon!

Why taking off? they cant make you. I pay way to much. They can get you oxygen from your ear.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
