Had surgery on the 11th... I won't lie. It was not a good experience. Dr casually mentioned he nicked my liver... spend 2 days in a hotel room feeling like I was going to die the pain was so bad. Had a drain in. Passed some God awful used motor oil looking bile... thank God the drain was there for that... still feeling a little rough, it's slowly getting better. Watching for fever and praying for no leaks. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You know I'm not sure... Dr never said why. I'll ask at my post op appt tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Are they any foods that are absolutely OFF LIMITS after VSG? Like popcorn? Or breads? Seeds or nuts? I haven't heard anything yet... just curious. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm trying Dr Axe Pure Bone broth Protein 20grams per scoop and ProtiDiet hot chocolate mix on Amazon for more choices Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm using OSSOGOOD Organic Bone broth. They have a Facebook page and website to order off of. Tried them all and this is the best! So healthy and lots of Gelatin. Good for healing the gut! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What are the average calories we should consume after surgery during full liquid phase? I had 73 grams of Protein today and 750 calories. shakes, yogurt and Soup Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I can have cream of wheat and cream of rice. Was wondering about Oat Bran since it's high in Protein. Just thinking about Fiber and a variety of foods Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Got it done on Friday. Has been a rough 3 days. My liver got nicked underside and I'm fighting a fever but Dr thinks it will all pass and heal up fine. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
