Dealing: Postop VSG issues



Recommended Posts

2 weeks post op gastric sleeve. When does it get easier? I’m having trouble getting even half my Water in. Part of me wonders what the hell did I do. I have no hunger at all, to the point where I have to focus my priority to take in a shake and last 2 days I can only do half a shake at a time. And the throwing up heaving seems to be more snd more often. My first post op in on Wednesday but I’m wondering if anyone else has gone through this and when I should expect to be better. I feel like my relationship with food has worsened to being afraid to eat or drink anything . Kinda low right now. Weights coming off, but now I wonder at what cost.

Did they prescribe something for Nausea? Like Zofran (ondansetron)? Are you still on liquids? Did you call your surgery center? This seems like something they need to be aware of. I'm glad you have an appointment tomorrow. I am two weeks out and I have no trouble meeting my liquid and Protein goals. (although I am hungry a lot). If I eat too quickly or too big gulps I have pain, but I'm still on liquids. I really think you need to talk to your surgery center, and definitely focus more on liquids than protein. Sip, sip, sip, all day long. Keep a drink right by you at all times. Try different drinks and different temperatures of liquids.

losing hunger for a few months is very common - I actually liked that and wish mine had never come back, because it was so easy to lose weight when I didn't give a flip about food. The vomiting issue is odd, though - I'd contact your clinic about that.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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!
