Body changes to expect after VSG



Recommended Posts

Haven't ever been thin so wondering what kind of changes to expect? Obviously with the weight loss, I'm expecting things like being more nimble, thighs not rubbing together maybe dropping a shoe size etc. What else can I expect?

Also did anyone experience an unexpected changes (either good or bad) from the weightless e.g being cold, change in taste etc

Appreciate your feedback!

Im not thin YET.. but I've been cold ever since the surgery and I've lost my taste for sweets - Yea!! Everyone is different, but you will find good things and weird things that happen. One weird thing for me - the month after surgery I cried about everything... for no reason. I would laugh while crying because I knew it was ridiculous. That's over, but just a funny little "side effect".

I'm a little over two weeks post op and I feel exactly like I did before surgery except I don't get hungry and a little Soup goes a long way. My first week I was sensitive to anything sweet - I couldn't eat the Jell-O in the hospital. But now I feel like my old self. Everything I've tried tastes pretty much the same and I've tolerated everything well. That's something I expected to be different after surgery, but it didn't. I'm still me.

      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.
