May 16th surgery buddies?.....Let's do this together!

@@cheerios45 pizza is my kryptonite! My therapist asked me what food do I feel like I have to eat - it's pizza! I'm still pre-surgery but already thinking of recipes to eat at least pizza like food post-op. She suggested pizza toppings in a Portobello mushroom (sounded damn good)!

That does sound good!

Surgery went well! Been up walking and just got back to bed. I'm just having a bit of gas pain but it's manageable

I was finally discharged this afternoon and am at home. I'm not having trouble getting fluids in but every time I drink, I get A LOT of gurgling in my sleeve. It doesn't hurt so I'm keeping at it but it's a weird/new sensation. Anyone else experience this?

Lol.. yes. I was told the gurgling never goes away?! Lol

I'm now day 4 and was so looking forward to starting a week of thin nutritious fluids. I've been drinking really well prior to this, no pain and easily reaching my Fluid goals. What happens? I got the foamies and it's most unpleasant. I feel as if I've an impassable lump in my throat and am retching foamy mucous. I'm so upset as I'm feeling quite weak and lethargic and know I need an energy boost that Opti would give me. I'm going to try an anti-histamine to see if that will dry me up a bit.

I don't think an anti-histamine in the best choice.....I'd lean more toward a anti-nausea med.....you could also call your doc's office and let them suggest something for you.

Day 1 post op and I'm feeling pretty good. I've been up walking, pain is under control, and the team is great! No complaints so far!

I went to a peer to peer meeting for the first time (I am post 1 year) and I could hear stomachs gurgling

Most of the people were at least 6-9 months post.

I think my own stomach started trying to compete, so NO the noisy, chatty, vocal tummy may blab for a while

I thought it was kind of funny and I don't think I was the only one who noticed

[KristenLe 5,979]

@@Cathy48 I don't recommend taking an antihistamine. What your experiencing is normal if you drink or eat too fast. Once the swelling goes down it will be better. Take small sips and if you don't feel better - call your surgeon.

I haven't had my surgery yet but I'm following these threads because mine is coming soon on June 22nd. I am wondering what are foamies? Is this like rabies or something?

[KristenLe 5,979]

@@sgc Someone who's had surgery may have a better answer but I believe it is when you eat too fast and get a little backwash (from your stomach) - which causes grossness to happen like foamies (I imagine it's like really gross post nasal drip).

Anyone had to cough or sneeze and not braced yourself in time and felt like you'd busted something inside? Also, anyone having alien movements in the sleeve area?

I'm guessing I'm experiencing those alien movements as well. I've got crazy gurgling; almost every sip I take (and am taking small sips, no straw, resting between each one) results in a belch; and let's just say Constipation is NOT an issue. I've checked on other VSG sites I'm on and everyone says this is normal and all dies down, esp. by the time you get to soft foods.
