I know, I know, you went through this, but now its my turn, so maybe I am whining...
I am REALLY craving something besides protein infused water and chicken broth.
Had VSG on 12/22, early morning. Was up and walking (more like pacing) the hospital (several different levels, no elevator when I could lose from IV for a bit), and all seemed to go well. Doc said it was very straightforward with exception of mild hernia repair he had to also take care of.
Nurses said I was one of fastest recovering patients they had seen (might have been just fluff, but they did say that).
Only hang up is the large incision where doc had to stitch muscles together, it still smarts, and I really do not want to take narcotics, so I am living with that.
I been getting 80 to 90 grams of protein, taking the vitamins, 100 to 120 oz of water, etc, etc, etc.
I am craving a scrambled egg with a bit of cheese and salsa.
I see some other sites talking about waiting 10 days, some say 3 days, my doc said a week. I am not missing a big Christmas feast, just scrambled egg two or three times a day.
How long did you wait? Did you cheat any? Results?
Thanks.
