@@jfer, do they know what caused the swelling? Was it related to the surgery? It seems strange.......I've heard of it happening after a mastectomy when they remove the lymph glands under the arm. But this surgery shouldn't have done it. Anyway, glad you are doing better! It's enough to get used to your new stomach without having additional problems like you have. Hang in there!

I had my surgery on August 6 now is 17 days and I feel good my abdominal pain is almost disappearing, no nauseas, no vomiting eating tuna, 1% milk, crystal light, Atkins shakes, diet Jell-O, Soups. No headaches, sipping Water the whole day. Good luck in ur journey.

were you able to have 60 grams of Proteins the first couple of days ? I can only drink one shake with 30g of proteins waft about water intake I can only have 50 0z..

To tell you the true I just start with the Protein l,doctor told me second week but this is my 3rd with and I just started feeling good this week I'll be drinking 3 shakes a day.

Hi @@Dawn306 , they don't know what caused it. I had a feeling it was from 1 of the meds they gave me and they've given me so many of them I couldn't figure out which one. When I had my hysterectomy it happened the same thing when I took oxycodone. So I just didn't take any pain meds they prescribe, I just use ice bag.Right now trying hard on drinking liquids, I am having a hard time reaching the requirement. Just walking around the house instead outside because I am afraid to get more dehydrated in the heat. Thank you again for checking.

Hi, I'm pre op I'm on the final two days of the pre op diet. But I heard a tip, measure your Water out in a measuring cup then using a shot glass drink it one shot at a time through out the day.

I've been using Isopure unflavored Protein, 1 scoop with 20 oz of water and 6-8 squirts of crystal light. I've found that anything lemonade kills the protein taste, blackberry lemonade, etc, also blueberry raspberry. Maybe this could help you. Good luck!

      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.
