I agree with @Sonya139. I've had to take a lot of deep breaths lol. I am 25 days post op (vsg date 09/17/13) and I'm down 12.5 pounds. I've however had some set backs (rear end collision coming from hospital) and something called a splenic infarction( spleen moved during surgery, not getting enough oxygen) my set backs have minimized my mobility so I'm thinking this maybe the reason for my slow weight loss .

Yes OMG ! But I usually scramble my egg fat free provolone cheese! I'm stuffed afterwards lol

Offigo, I'm no doctor and I pray everything is fine. I've read where others have been fine once the stop the leakage so you will be too !!

Day of Surgery 09/17/2013 280 today I weighed in and I was 272.5. On liquids and suppose to go on pureed foods soon, but .....Everyone else is loosing major weight! Should I be worried? I'm still a little sore so I haven't started any exercise. Any tips?

Thank You all so much! I really appreciate the encouragement! It really means a lot ! I am doing everything as instructed. I'll move to puréed foods on Tuesday. I'm going to continue to take those deep breaths..lol! I am excited about the weight loss, but I'm in apart of a gastric family so they kinda made me feel like an un-achiever. Again, Thank You all!! I'll keep you posted!!

You look amazing mamamareli!! Congrats!

I'm 2 days post op and I was walking the 1st day as instructed to pass this gas! But nothing I feel it moving though my insides but it won't come out either end! Nurses say pill wi t help because the concentrate on gas in the stomach and that this gas isn't located there! Please help

@Heather Meyer and peachie86 I always considered myself a lady but I would fart for a nickel right about now lol! Going for a walk later!

Oh gmanbat oh I wish! I want to stick a tube in an deflate! I'm in so much pain! I am prepared to walk to Jerusalem and back to get this gas out my body!!

I'm only 3 days post op and this information will be helpful in the future! Good Luck moorecr!! I'll be cheering for you too

Hi! I was released yesterday and I feel good! I'm working on the gas I feel like I've walked from FL to CA but the gas won't go where ever it's suppose to go! I'm only consuming chicken broth and water @ 2oz of each is tolerable. I hope you can go home today also, it takes some if the anxiety out of being away from the familiar.

I had to do the same thing! My support team consist of my husband,son, 2 sisters, 2 best friends(1 with lap band), 2 nieces(both gastric bypass), my mother in law( I had to tell her so she could take care of the baby) that's it! It may seem like a lot of people but I left out some siblings and nieces lol! I didn't want to hear the negative remarks and opinions. Even my M.I.L asked if I die does she get the baby? I know WTF, but I'm scheduled for next week Tuesday and I am so excited to be able to lotion my legs and feet, tie my shoes(my 17 year old does it now) and to be able to be active with my children (17 years and 15 months old). I have so many reasons for wanting to improve my health. It's sad that we can't talk to our family about it but I'm glad we found each other and can reveal our inner most VSG thoughts lol! Pray for me though cause I'm on liquids starting today and I'm craving corned beef lol

I've wanted to do that! I'm 7 days away from surgery!!! If there is any one who would like to start with me after I've healed I'd love the company!! South Fl (Broward)

Congrats! I'm scheduled for 09/17!!

My surgery date is 9/17! So excited I debated for 4 years on whether or not to do! Now I've completed everything they've asked of me and I am ready!!!

Please share your puréed chicken salad recipe
