E.S 62 Posted August 15, 2018 Hey everyone Well I have done it. I took the leap of faith and now I’m on the other side. I got home this afternoon after 1 day stay. Lots of burping and passing gas. I’m so full for tea spoons of puréed chicken in broth , my stomach did feel sore because of it. Sipping Water through the day and trying to walk. And also my focusing on my breathing and making sure I temperature myself. I was so scared before the surgery and so nervous , and now I’m at home trying to get through the first few days and slowly adjusting to this new life. Also I had a different name on here , few people managed to find me that I didn’t want for them to found out so I changed it. Anyway I’m trying to focus on the things, it took me about 1,5 years to get here so it’s a long time coming. Thank you for reading and hopefully I will hear from you guys xoxo 2 TaylorMade4One and Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E.S 62 Posted August 15, 2018 Congratulations with your surgery. I hope we will get through this without any negative side effects. Lol I get you with the hunger part, I had it today as well, but after a few tea spoons of the chicken I had, I was done and I’m still full. It has been 2 hours by now. I won’t be eating anything else today. Otherwise it’s just to much. Sipping Water and other sugar free drinks. We can do it 🙏🏻🙏🏻😆 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E.S 62 Posted August 15, 2018 Well the chicken was boiled in broth Water and then puréed until semi liquid, I had a few baby spoons so to say and I waited and then a few other baby spoons and then I was full. My stomach had to work real hard, lots of burping and gas. I felt some pain too so I walked and walked through my room. And even sitting down for a bit until I get comfortable again. 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MargoCL 677 Posted August 15, 2018 Interesting that this soon post op you are at pureed stage. My surgery is on Monday and was told to expect another two weeks of liquid onlySent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app 1 E.S reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frustr8 7,886 Posted August 15, 2018 Sometimes they keep VSG on liquids longer because of the long staple line they have to heal up. Wouldn't want YOU,to bust a gusset after all that surgery. That would be a VERY VERY BAD scene. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E.S 62 Posted August 15, 2018 I noticed that hospitals have different rules and regulations across the board, I had it very diluted tho. So I wouldn’t say it was Clear Liquids but also not puréed. I’m allowed to have unsweetened custard and yogurt and mushed up fruits too. 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope all goes well for you. And I was scared also just before surgery. The Doc seen how nervous I was and asked if I wanted to get dressed and go home . LOL .

I can imagine! The day of surgery was particular hard as I couldn’t stop gagging and I was on the IV. But I’m at day 2 post op and I almost finished 2 liters of Water. And the eating part is hard but slowly getting better. I hope you’re doing okay, we can do this !! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 2 _Shane_ and Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
