The recovery has been much easier than expected, but the first few days were tough. The biggest hurdles were drinking Water post op. It took about a week to be able to comfortably drink the required Water in small sips. I rarely go anywhere without a water bottle as I am drinking throughout the day.

For me the worst part was having to take crushed medications, luckily i was approved to take all meds in pill form on my follow up 10 days after surgery.

I lost 15 pounds on the pre op liquid diet and have lost about 16 pounds in the three weeks since surgery. Started at 282 and now at 249 - my goal weight is 200.

I go back to work on Monday. Hoping my energy level holds up.

@@russm that's awesome! Glad you are doing well. I got my meds in liquid form, and one anti nausea is a patch I put behind my ear. Maybe they can change your meds to liquid?

The liquids made me vomit due to the artificial sweeteners. I do better with the pills.

Good luck with your surgery next week!

I am in Walnut Creek. I had my VSG on March 3, 2016...but it looks like I need a revision to a RNY. I'll be having it done at Travis AFB again of course. I told my surgeon that my sleeve is his handy work, and I don't want anyone else messing around in there! I am pretty hesitant about the RNY, and I'd like to talk to people that have done it. Please message me if you'd like to chat, or email me at: aschuttpelz@gmail.com

Thanks!!

Hi! My name is Dotti and I am 10 months post op. Have lost 80 pounds and have started to really working out daily. I live in Fairfield and had my surgery at DGMC. Anyone on here that far out post-op wise as me? Having any issues with getting enough nutrition?
