I am three days post op, and my surgery went really well. Still having gas pains and learned that cold fluids churns my stomach. Does anyone have any ideas for the full liquids phase? It's so weird how I'm not hungry at all, usually I would be grazing all day! So far I've lost 6lbs since my surgery. Oh and tried to drink Protein today and gagged...any suggestion on Protein drinks?

The first 2 days I had 2 little 2 ounce plastic cups one with Powerade and the other with cytomax (protien drink). I would sip one and then from the other. I also had 2 rocks glasses full with cold Powerade and cytomax. It takes me all day but I get in my liquids and my protien. Just alternate from one to the other it makes it easier to get down. By day 3 I just have 2 glasses one with my protien drink and then one with powerade. Keep them cold. I just keep adding ice.

Post op, I ended up staying in the hospital a few days but I'm feeling fine, just trying to get used to.drinking the required amount, other than that I'm fine. Does taking the drain out hurt?

You know what, my husband bought me some body fortress Protein Shots last night. I tried one this morning and it tastes like liquid Jello with a hint of whey. It's a whole lot easier to down versus a serving of whey Protein Powder which would take me all day. I have been trying to get in 60-80grams of Protein and this really helps with healing and weight loss. I am one week post op and have loss a total of 14lbs! Couldn't be happier B)

I left the hospital after 34 hours. I wish I'd have stayed an extra day. However, logistically was better for me to leave earlier. For R&R, calm, relaxing and getting used to the new you, stay as long as u can. Heck, where else can u rest and sleep all day with no one being upset by it?

Congratulations!

Had my surgery on mon the 23rd

God I wasn't prepared for the pain

What type of pain are you having? My only pain is from gas though I am sure that will go away at some point! My coworker used soda to get rid of it but of course we can't. I haven't taken meds since I got home for pain. I do have discomfort moving around and sleeping. I hope your pain stops soon. Stacie

Have your bowels started moving? Not to get too personal, but I made sure of that by day three. That really helped with all my gas pains. I was April 16 and doing ok, but I still have a bit of pain in my large upper right incision. Hang in there. It really does get better and walk, even if it is only short periods. Also Gas-ex really helps. Take care. Karen

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
