My Vsg journey began 10/23/13 11 lbs down in one week????I just started the puréed stage ???? with a desperate crave to chew on something for a change. I did have oatmeal only 1/2 pk and soft scr eggs which went over pretty well. I'm dealing with lots of gas pain and indigestion. I am type 2 diabetic and pre op was on 2 insulin sand 2 pills, I came home on half the dose of Metformin only but my sugars range from 140-220 which is still better than my average of 300 but I still want to see improvement with my numbers without adding back any meds. Besides that I'm feeling great about the roads ahead. I'll take any suggestions in food ideas, advice, questions, support etc.. #VSG BABY LETS GET IT!!!!

Welcome!!

I would suggest you take it slow, sleevy needs time to heal. Follow the docs advice. The oatmeal and eggs could be a bit premature. Egg drop Soup was a blessing during my liquid/pureed stage.

The extra carefulness you invest now will pay off later. My wife and I both shed all of our meds including Metformin, high blood pressure meds, cholesterol meds, and we both beat sleep apnea.

That's wonderful I'm really hoping to be med free soon esp since it's a hard pill to swallow lol. As for the oatmeal and eggs, it was actually recommended in my choice of food booklet I was surprised about that one but desperate for a change, I went with it. I did try egg drop Soup which was so easy to make and I have to say, I LIKE IT!!

Hey, Hippy Uncle, Does the egg drop Soup need to be low sodium?
