Recommended Posts

Friend's I need advise I am scheduled tomorrow morning for surgery VSG and ever since I started all clear diet yesterday morning I have had major bathroom problems. This morning it seems to be just achy stomach from yesterday and gasy. I did try a isotech 42 (Vitamin shoppe Protein drink) yesterday and it kept upsetting my stomach so I stopped that. Is this normal???? Please advise I'm nervous now that everything is a go and my husband is off for the week I will have to cancel.

Just stick with Clear liquids today. Surgery won't be cancelled if you have diarrhea or even Constipation. I would only drink Clear Liquids though.

I am 5 days post op. My liquids for 24 hours prior to surgery was light apple juice, low sodium fat free chicken broth, sugar free Jello and sugar free popsicles.

The more Protein you have the more gas you will most likely have. I would stick to the clear diet above if it meets with your surgeons requirements.

After surgery I resumed the same diet on day three after surgery and will start full liquid tomorrow. I had failed my leak test so was delayed to start liquid otherwise I would have started the day after surgery.

Just do exactly wha your surgeon tells you and good luck.

A leak test for me was the morning after surgery. Had to drink some awful tasting liquid while they take live xrays. It is to make sure the liquid yoh drank passes thru your stomach without any coming into your adominal cavity. Some surgeons do it while you are still on operating table.

It's a test they give you also called a swallow test where they check to make sure your stomach doesn't leak before you can eat liquids.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
