VSG23-LIFE

You will do great!! I too was nervous but the surgery was a piece of cake. It's over before you know it!! Good luck!! I was sleeved 7/8 so If I can help in any way let me know

I was sleeved on 7/8 and left the hospital the afternoon of 7/9. Easiest procedure ever. Now I feel silly for being so worried to start with lol. For this week I am only allowed clear liquid ( broth, sf popsicles, sf jello, clear liquid protein such as Isopure, sfvitamin water, sf powerade etc. Next week I'll be able to start pureed foods!! Ready for some pears!! I've been walking inside the house because of the recent weather here in NC. Its hard to get in all my fluids and forget about 70 grams of protein but each day gets a little better. I've lost 20 pounds so far including preop diet and people are already noticing it which feels awesome! !

I recently became sleeved on 7/8 and I'm having trouble getting my protein in. How in the world can I get 70g of protein in and 64 oz of water daily when the pouch only holds 1.5 oz? Any suggestions? Anybody sleeved on 7/8 that has any input?

Well that's true. I went for a walk outdoors today and it felt SO good to be outside. It's been raining here in NC so ice been walking inside the house.

Exactly hahaha I look at a bottle of cold water and it's the sexiest thing to me now..I mean I really want to drink the whole thing but the aftermath of too much liquids in your stomach is hell!

That's awesome! ! Keep it up!!

That's EXACTLY how I feel! ! Glad to know it's not just me because I was getting worried! How is it being 3 months post op?

Glad to know I'm not alone. What clear Proteins did you use week one?

They do!! You'll do great other than being a little sore from the incision where the stomach was removed I'm great!!

He's great. No he's not one that tekks jokes and he is very straightforward however he knows what he's doing. He sleeved me on 7/8 and I've been home since 7/9. He's the director of bariatric surgery at cmc mercy/carolinas weight management. Great surgeon but can't take a joke.

Just arrived to the hospital!! It has finally hit me that my life is about to change forever...how's everybody else??
