Hello everyone, i just had my VSG done on Aug 3rd. apparently i had low oxygen levels and a really hard time” sipping “ and most people go home after 1 night at the hospital.
well i stayed for 4 nights.

Im feeling great so far no pain or nausea.
im just missing the whole food taste and the actual BITING.

and like i told some of my family members “i still don’t recommend it” lol and ask to again in a month!

When (what day or stage) did you guys reintroduced eggs to your diets?

Feel better soon.

I ate eggs at 2 weeks post-op. That is when my plan allowed pureed foods so I had pureed egg salad. Follow your plan.

I could eat eggs sometime within the first month or so (don't remember exactly when because it's been a few years since I had surgery), but I know for some people, it's a few months before they can handle eggs.

Same as @kcuster83. I could have eggs at the start of week 3 in puree stage. Just had to be runny scrambled eggs or boiled eggs mashed with mayo. But, yes some people struggle with eggs to begin: they just don’t sit well or taste unpleasant.

What does your plan say?

PS - Congrats on your surgery. I had a lot of swelling too & then my back spasmed so I had three nights in hospital. I found warm drinks more soothing & easier to sip.

Thank you so much @Arabesque! It’s nice to know that im not alone. I honestly don’t have much problem drinking, i’m trying to stick to 4oz at a time every 20min or so.

According to my dietitian, im already starting week 2. Which im allowed to have sugar free pudding, low fat yogurt, and fat free milk. And also campbells soup!

i can’t wait for next week, im badly craving a tuna sandwich! 😅

How many month/ years are you in post op?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
