Swimming in a pool
Ruby Hernandez replied to MamaBearMel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my VSG surgery on 5/13 and I have been swimming since 5/28. I feel great! ๐ -
Omg really?!?!? 1 week?!?! I'm still on liquids &3 weeks later pureed foods so still not solids. I thought it was cause your stomach couldn't handle it??? How did your pouch respond? My stomach has been perfectly fine! I feel great ๐ (Just as a side note, I had VSG)

My Bariatric Surgery Book (written/given to me by my surgeon and nutritionist) says that I can eat that one week after my surgery. I had my VSG Surgery on 5/13/19 and have been been eating all of those veggies and fruits since 5/20/19. Everything has gone smoothly for me so far. ๐๐ป

I am 19 (was 18 during surgery) and I understand what you mean; pay no mind to it, though. No one should be giving their opinions to your life weight loss decisions, especially if theyโve never cared enough to help you in your past weight loss attempts. You do you! I feel great after my weight loss surgery (Iโm 2 Weeks Post-Op / Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy) and if youโre serious about getting surgery, you will too! ๐

Seeking Nutritional Advice ๐
Ruby Hernandez posted a topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Hello Everyone! I am currently 2 Weeks Post-Op and I was wondering if any of you could help me with some lingering nutritional questions that I have. Q1: I love to put one tablespoon of steak sauce on my chicken when I eat, it keeps me from getting bored. Do any of you eat steak sauce regularly; how has that gone for you? If you eat chicken with other sauces, let me know! (Hot Sauces are welcomed ๐ฅ) Q2: Do you all recommend the Body Armor drink? Or should I stay away from it? I used to drink them and bought one again, as it has a lot of vitamins and tastes good. What do you all think? Q3: Do any of you still eat pasta after surgery? I love pasta, but I know itโs an empty carb. If you donโt eat pasta, what substitutes do you all recommend? Feel free to answer any of the questions. Also, if any of you have some healthy recipes that you eat, let me know! Thank you! โค๏ธ- 5 replies

Hey Sleevers! Iโm so happy to see that there are so many of us embarking on the VSG journey together... but are there any fellow teen sleevers out there? I am 18 and would definitely like to keep in touch with any teen sleevers. Let me know! ๐

Hello Everyone! Surgery was a success, and I am feeling fine, but never did I expect for my phone to make me so dizzy after surgery. My voice is so rhaspy and my face is so droopy, anyone else feel the same after surgery? Also, sorry for the inactivity. Iโve just been sleeping and drinking... sleeping and drinking. ๐ค -

Hello everyone! Itโs Ruby! I am officially well enough to get back on here. ๐ My surgery went AMAZING yesterday, but the first 9 hours after waking up from surgery were absolutely awful and painful. I was not expecting THAT much pain; and thatโs coming from a girl who had her armpits removed last year. But today I am feeling better than ever! I have been drinking my liquids and walking, walking, walking! My Surgery Siblings: let me know how you all are feeling! Thank you for the endless support, everyone. You all are amazing! ๐ -

Hey lovelots! I am doing amazing today! My surgery went extremely well and I have been walking, walking, and walking! I am not going to lie, the first 9 hours after waking up were absolutely horrible. I just kept on sleeping and sleeping, I would only get up to use the restroom. However, today I am getting up for fun and enjoying my new stomach! From what I remember, you had surgery yesterday as well. How did that go for you? How are you feeling? ๐
