Hello all. I'm 6 days post op from VSG. I had my gall bladder removed as well and I think that's the pain I'm feeling. Otherwise I'm pretty good. Have decent energy, I'm getting down liquids, I've got a decent variety of full liquid options, and I'm doing my walking. I'm happy to chat with anyone. Looking forward to my revised life, it was already wonderful!

Full liquids are getting dull quickly. I enjoy my sugar free Popsicles. I finally made it to the required intake of 64oz, most days I've been under. Protein is difficult for me as well. I used to like the GNC strawberry whey and now not so much. But I used to add frozen fruit, spinach,and coconut oil. So that's probably the issue, it's bland right now. I added ice tonight and it was better. I may have to add coconut milk to the skim milk for flavor. I enjoy the light vanilla yogurt, Sugar free puddings, and broth. I've tried the thinned down creamed soups strained. I would rather just broth. Cream of what isn't bad. It's funny how one little yogurt lasts 3 days Total side note, all the constant ads and pictures of food on TV and the internet are really obnoxious and annoying. I don't generally watch tv so I've increased my exposure and of course my sensitivity to it has increased.

I had to stop mine 1 month before, too high of a risk for blood clots & stroke. Have to talk to my gyn soon about hormone free alternatives like a copper IUD.

That was very valuable information. Thanks for sharing!

Congrats, I'm so happy for you. I'm excited at how quickly the weight is dropping. I might be under 200 before I get back to work! I haven't been under 200 in at least 14 years. I might cry!

If you have ever been a smoker you will need to have 3 clear urine nicotine screenings in 1 year. Nicotine will cause hemorrhage so you have to be committed to never smoking again. I quit years before surgery and still had to do these screenings. It's so worth it! Healthy is healthy all the way!
