Hello everyone i'm 27 years old and i had my VSG on the 19th of July and as of tomorrow it will be 3 weeks post op for me. I have lost a total of 18.5 pounds up to now but there's a wild twist to my story that might shock some of you. I found out around a week or so after my VSG since my period was late and i read about many of the girls here have had problems with your periods post op, i decided to go ahead and have one of them home pregnancy tests and oddly enough it came out positive!!!I've been married for about 18 months now and to tell you all the truth we didn't really plan on concieving until at least a year post op. This is my first pregnancy and I have no complaints other than i was a little terrified at first because i figured out that i concieved around a week before my VSG so i went to my gynecologist and he assured me that everything will be fine and the baby would not have been affected by the general anesthesia. i will keep you all posted as i go through my journey :svengo: :(

i'm six weeks post op now and i feel aweful!!!i'm constantly tired and dizzy. I began vomitting two days ago and my stomach hurts whenever i eat anything, actually it hurts regardless whether i eat or not. I discussed this problem with my doctor(VSG doc)and he prescribed something to slow down the acids in my stomach, but when i went to my gynacologist he prohibited me from taking ANY drugs of such nature. So, i'm pretty much stuck between a rock and a hard place :001_tt2: my gynacologist said i can only continue to take my Vitamins.< /p>

Basbosa,

I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Have your surgeon and gynecologist been able to talk to come up with a plan together? I pray the best for you.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
