7/26/16 VSG Surgery, Anyone else?

[KristenLe 5,979]

Hey I had mine 7/27. Days have been pretty good until today. I have my post op tomorrow. Pain is better and weening off pain meds. Today as I sip clear liquid or Protein I get a gurgle almost like a hunger pain or pressure feeling. And totally have no urge to eat. Like really don't want that pressure feeling. Today was a harder day then the last few. After reading blogs, maybe it's a bit of stomach acid? Has anyone felt a hunger pain knowing you have no desire to eat? Other than today, my energy has been great.

Are you taking anything for stomach acid? Just try and keep sipping. Try different temps - some can tolerate room temp or warm better - some need ice cold. Stay strong!

Hey yes I am now. I had my 1 week post op. I am down 21 lbs since my pre op. That was on the 18th. I have to take a Prilosec or some OTC to help with the acid. Today was such a better day! Thank you for the advice.

My surgery was on 7/18. I get my Protein from Isopure Zero. It has 40 g of Protein in 29 Fluid ounces. You can drink it straight but I mix it with grape crystal light. Even though it's been 4 weeks, I'm still on the liquid and soft diet. I can't swallow real food yet. It gets stuck even when chewed to mush.
