4 Days Post Vsg



Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I'm 35 years old and just got my VSG earlier this week. On November 15 2011 I met with my surgeon and his staff...the scale that days aid 561lbs...that day I startedmy preop diet of 1200 calories, 96oz of Water, Adipex (appetite) supressant, and working out at the gym.

105 days later it was the day of my operation and I had lost just over 100 lbs. It was probably my lowest weight in a long time, but not sure exactly when. I spent one night in the hospital, which was fine since I was hopped up on drugs! My first day home I was in a decent amount of pain, but that has mostly stopped now. My only complaint now is lack of energy. After taking a shower this morning, I was exhausted and had to sit for 20 minutes and rest in bed.

I'm excited and nervous to continue down this path, and just wanted to share where I was in all of this.

Oh wow, congratulations on your pre-surgery loss and on your surgery. Fatigue after the surgery is common - I was going full speed right after my surgery and then a few days later I hit a brick wall, and even putting on my socks and shoes made me want to take a nap. Just make sure you get in your liquids.< /p>

Kudo's for your 100lb pre surgery weight loss. I understand what you mean about getting tried after something as little as taking a shower. Take it slow and rest when needed. Congrats on your surgery and new begining.

      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.
