Had my VSG on wednesday morning en was able to leave the next morning. Everything went well, although I'm having some nausea and gas pains. Hopefully that will go away soon. Trying to get my fluids in, but it's a lot harder than expected.

Also haven't eaten anything yet. When was the first time you ate something? They told me fluids are more important, so I'm focussing on that now. Might try some broth or Protein Water tomorrow. The idea of a sweet Protein Shake alone makes me nauseas right now.

Are you allowed caffeine? If so Amazon, Walmart and Costco (I just heard they are on sale this month there on another thread) have premier protein shakes and the caffe latte was the first shake I liked post surgery. Before I found that I did their clear protein drinks. It’s fruit punch but somehow not nearly as sweet as many of the shakes. Lots of brands make the clear protein if you don’t like fruit punch. Hope this helps.

Day 3 I could eat creamed soups,sf pudding, yogurt. Day 15 I started soft/purée foods. Eggs, tuna, avocado, mashed veggies and purée meats. I don’t get any more solid foods til the 5th week. As for the gas walk walk walk the more I walked the better I felt. I also used gas x

I know everyone’s Bariatric surgeon’s practice is different. I was able to eat eggs and baked fish two days after surgery. I couldn’t really stomach to much at first maybe 1 to 2 ounces. I was definitely a bit nervous but my surgeon wanted me to start semi soft solids ASAP for protein in take along with the shakes. I need to get 90 grams daily. I am almost 3 weeks out and can eat about 3 ounces a serving. I can’t even finish a whole egg. lol.

I’m eating exactly the same way! Day 14 I started eggs and puréed meats..it’s only been 2 days with that but it’s going really good so I’m gonna add more food and then same for me solid food on week 5! How are you feeling?

That’s great!! SAME! I’m down 28 pounds exactly too! Good for you!

I am happy you feel that you don’t feel like you had surgery. That makes me feel at ease! I was scheduled for August 12th, and They called and canceled the day before after my preop labs due to the rise in Covid cases and lack of beds. They are now working on rescheduling my surgery.

Awesome! 3 days for me

Hi all, update on surgery, all went to plan, been sucking on extra strong mints and Rennie wind tablets, so far not a lot of gas. Had fluids and clear soup and a small yogurt today, seemed ok, a bit sore and feel v bloated/swollen around stomach, feel tired as not much sleep due to constant checks

having paracetamol and ibuprofen for pain, so not much, did feel v sick when I woke up but anti sickness jab sorted that also on IV for antibiotics and saline but that stops later and all being well home tomorrow

walking around is ok as well, hope this helps others x
