I had a relatively good recovery, i had little to no gas pains I was up walking a few hours post op and pain was minimal during the day. At night i had a hard tine being confortable, so thats when i really needed the pain meds. Had yogurt a day an a half post op in the hospital and had zero issues.

How much are you eating? I am 17 weeks post op and with chicken and fish I can eat 3-4 oz with red meat and pork its half that. Its much denser and I really have to chew chew chew and use lots of ketchup or whatever condiment I have handy. Hope that helps!

Hey i feel for you its wicked hot here, i dont gulp persay i can now deink quicker than a sip more like a small gulp but i am 17 weeks post op and i can only do it if my tummy is empty, no pains hope tht helps

Im 18 weeks post op and if i hit a stall i jack up my carbs for a few days cause notmally i eat little to no carbs high protien low fat and under 600 cals a day i burn 400 -700 at the gym so if i stall i eat more fruit and a lil treat or two then i lose then i stop idk i guess it tricks my body or somethig. Dont binge like that its bad and id hate for u to get sick.

Thats really confusing and so wrong most people dont lose much the first month anyway post op bc of swelling and lack of excercise. The goal is not to go into strvation mode but to decrease yor intake Id check with your nut. I would stick with mushies and soft protiens you can do it, yogurt for breakfast, tuna or chicken for lunch a shake for a snack and a soft protien again for supper. You can do it I am 17 weeks out and I sit anywhere from 600-800 cals a day, and I am down 81.6 pds your not a slow loser 29 pounds marvolous job listen to your body and keep up the great work!

Ive thrown my own bbqs already I just grill up a turkey patty or chick breast smother in homemade sf bbq sauce and have a tiny pinch of salad lol love it

Babybels, cheese sticks pure protien bars

I am proud of you! Its nice and motivating to have positive feedback bc mental feedback just doesnt cut it sometimes.

Honey you are so important, you only have body to live in its time to take care of that body. I am a mother, Me and my fiance are in debt I had to seriously put me first and remember that I want to live to play with my daughter to have more children and live a long healthy life. I had to be out of work for 9 weeks, thats 2 months with no paycheck and no disability or whatever to help me out. We made it work my fiance and I knew if this didnt happen now I wouldnt live to see 30 or 40. I was 322 pds and climbing, i could barely get out of bed I was always in pain. Now I am 16 weeks post op down 81.6 pds and I can play and work and am happy. Do it for you hunny, make your life what it should be.

16 weeks down 81.6 pds intake 600-900 protien 60-80 g carbs 15-40 g fat less than 20g daily an I run 3-5 days a weeks.

Id say thats a bit much for now once you get back to your fitness routine thatll prob be good, I am 16 weeks out and I am about 600-800 cals a day and I burn about 300-400 if not more. Id check with your nut. Are u drinking w or after meals?

My doctor told me not to be super concerned about my protien the first few weeks focus on fluids, i found that making " mock hot cocoa" helped i used skimmilk and heated it up then put in a paket of sf carnation breakfast its was 150 cals and 14 protien so not bad. It helped me out cause i think the shake stuff is gross. And its thinner and didnt make me sick. Hope that helps.

I am 17 weeks out and down 81.6 pounds, I was seriously nauseous for the first three days after surgery. The pain meds from iv made me so sick so tgey gave me a patch to put behind my ear and I was tip top when I left to go home. Began my walking routine a week later and began hitting the gym 2 months post op now I run 3-5 days a weeks. I sometimes get nauseous from heavy foods like steak, pasta isnt my friend and super sugary stuff is a no no. Hope that helps best of luck!

Anyone remember that first hard week of c25k being sore and sooooo tired. I didnt think I'd make it. Well I start week 4 tomorrow how is everyone else doing?

Ok so I had my vsg on jan 29 i was 322 i am now 250 and I am hitting a wall. Its like my sex life is non existent. I feel more confident and sexy with my clothes on but I just do not hace any desire to Be intimate with my fiance. Its like my sex drive has been refocused on my running and eatting right. Any advice, does it ever level out? I feel bad that I dont satisfy him like ever anymore yet I used to be the one gearing up ready to go. So frusterated.

Thanks for the advice!!!! I do find my fiance attractive, im wonderin if i am over thinking my own body bc without clothes ugh i gross myself out but i see my own imperfections and they end up being my main focus. Ill try to work on it i guess i need to find my confidence in the bedroom again lol

Best of luck!!!!!
