So I'm 2 weeks post op . I had the VSG on 11/22/16 and been doing really well.. I was already back to work 4 days after surgery. Doing full 8 hours shift. Doing really good with all my liquids and sipping all day on Water, having my Soup broth, Jello and pudding. I had stop taking the pain meds once I was 6 days post op altogether n haven't felt any pian...I do walk alot and I'll dance around my house to reggae n fast music. Then still feel fine or no soreness. I even been doing squats on and off. Still no pain or sore in stomach. I just make sure I pay attention to body to make sure I'm not pushing my self too much. But I been away from my gym for so long I'm very tempted to go back just to do cardio work outs as long it's nothing with the stomach. Do u think I shouldn't push it and wait? How long have u waited to work out again.

I to was doing well and back to work 4 days post op. At my one week appointment I was given the clearance to start elliptical, and low impact aerobics. I just listened to my body. If I was winded too much I backed off and didn't push it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
