It certainly does help to hear about everyone else being in my position! I knew that this would be happening from all the research I had done prior to my surgery, just did not expect it to happen to me so soon! Part of me is a bit paranoid due to I have struggled to lose weight all my life and then to already have it stop just frustrates me! I am vowing to stay off the scale the rest of the week! I will give it a couple of days and see if I have moved past this point! Thanks for all the support and the wonderful information everyone has shared. I am in love with this list already!! :coolgleamA:

Thank you! I will seek out those NSV's to get me through the week! :-)

Thanks Lissa for your response! I should claify that I lost 14.8 pounds pre-op. I gained some after surgery and have lost that weight already. My total to date is now 21 pounds. I keep reading about stalls and I guess I was just surprised that it hit so quickly. I see my doctor again on Monday the 28th and so I am sure they will have advice for me if I am still stuck by then. I am eating protein and working on getting an hour of walking in a day and also making sure I sip enough during the day. I am trying to learn patience early on now!! LOL

I am almost 2 weeks Post - Op and I have not lost an ounce since my first appointment on Monday the 21st. Is this normal to have this happen so soon? I lost a total of 21 pounds to date to include pre-surgery weight loss! Just starting to wonder if my body just needs to play some catch up or am I doing something wrong?

I am a week post op today. I have been on clear liquids this week and am supposed to move to soft/pureed foods today. I will able to have cheese, yogurt, pureed beans, and eggs. I am supposed to have two meals a day and no snacks. I can have a protein drink at breakfast and then lunch and dinner, but no snacks!

I am 7 days post op and I am finding this morning that the shoulder pain has improved 99% over the last 6 days! There is hope you just have to hang in there!! :coolgleamA:

I am one week Post op today. My Nut has me changing from a clear liquid diet to eggs and cheese and pureed beans this week. I can also add in yogurt. I have to do one protein drink in the morning and two meals a day. I am not allowed milk for my protein shakes yet.

Gfawcetti, the Humongous term in reference to the Hiatal hernia was the words my surgeon used to describe this to my husband when I went to recovery and he came out to talk to him! LOL

Today is my first day on here! I had my VSG on the 14th of November. I will be one week Post Op tomorrow! Looking forward to reading and learning from the veterans on the list! :biggrin:

I love the worldaccordingtoeggface! I read her blog regularly! She has some fantastic recipes up on her page. I am doing well with getting in my water and my vitamins so far. I average about 70 ounces of water a day. I am also able to get all of my vitamins in by the end of the day as well. I am still on a liquid diet of water, non caloric clear liquid drinks, one protein drink a day, broth, sf jello, and sf Popsicle's. I can hardly wait until my diet progresses this next week.

Hi I am new to this list! I am searching lists for people who have VSG Surgery. I have been following a list on Daily Strength that is for GBS. I just had surgery on Monday November 14,2011. I went in for a GBS and came out with a sleeve. I had a humongous hiatal hernia repair and due to adhesion's from a previous surgery years ago I could not get the GBS. I am doing well so far, and have already gone down 4.2 pounds since I was released from the hospital tuesday night. I gained just over 5 in the hospital so my total loss from the start of my Pre-op diet is now 19 pounds down. I did no research at all in to the Gastric Sleeve, and therefore am now starting to try and find out as much as I can about it! What advice would you give to someone less than a week post-op? Would love to hear from you.
