Good Morning! Leaving for the hospital in a few. Can’t believe the day is finally here. Hope all those who had surgery in the last few weeks continue to heal. And for us who are about to go in...good luck and prayers for all of us. GAME ON!

GM everyone. Things went great yesterday. I had some pain right after but things have been bearable with the meds. I’ve been walking the halls since yesterday and all is well. Having my upper GI this morning and will start liquids if all goes well after that. Supposed to go home today fingers crossed. Continued prayers for all of you!

Thank you honey. Things went good. I'm in a lot of pain from the gas but other than that I'm doing good. I've attempted to walk the halls twice so far because I've been sleeping lol.

Hello everyone. I am on day 7 after a VSG. I am starting to get hungry! Also my tastebuds have changed . Clear flavored Protein is incredibly sweet to me, so I dilute with Water to increase my intake. Is anyone else experiencing these things too?

Yes. I am 2 weeks post op. Before surgery I loved sugar free Water flavorings. Now I hate all of them. I'm getting my water in with Decaf herbal teas with a tiny bit of sweetener by putting the tea bag with a couple ice cubes in my water bottle to make ice tea. I was never a big herbal tea drinker before. Now I can't get enough.

How long did it take everyone to pee after surgery? I pee'd once right after surgery but now I'm having a hard time peeing. Dehydration maybe? I've managed 9 oz of Water since 12. I know I need more but ugh. And the left side of my body hurts so bad but honestly, this wasn't near as scary as I thought it would be.

It was hard for me at first to pee. It gets easier

I couldn't pee til hours after surgery but the next day I was going more normal, just with a bit of discomfort from the cath. that I had in during surgery. I'm 2 day post op and my left side is killing me but it's definitely still some gas stuck in there and also (tmi) I haven't had a bowel movement so I'm assuming that all plays a part in this discomfort.

I did it, June 17. It was tough for 3 days, I was wondering if I will stop feeling pain. But then today I managed with no pain. Getting used to the new food schedule is difficult, but manageable. Wow hunger pangs can be really strong tho, can wait to progress to real foods. I need to make sure I get my Vitamins and Water and then walk for workouts.

I'm 12 days out and find that I'm dying for more savory flavors. It feels like so many of my liquids are sweet.

For me, I had no problem peeing, but found that the urge to go wasn't happening. Masked by the pain, maybe? I was going to the bathroom based on the amount of time passed, rather than feeling.

I havent had one either. I've been assuming that mine is gas pain too.

That's what I'm having to do too.

Same here! No urge. I suspected that was from the cath as well. Maybe also from the pain
