Congratulations on your success so far. You look great!
How is it going? I am down 50lbs. And clothes are too big now, great feeling! I need to get on some kind of exercise program...your pictures look great keep it up!
You are looking great!
Tonia, Boy, do I hear you about the fluids and proteins! My biggest problem is the protein. All of the protein drinks are sweet and "sweet" is just really yucky to me right now. Dr. Stowers told me to worry more about the liquids the first week than the protein so that is what I'm doing. I hope you are doing good at work today. You are braver than I am! I'm taking at least two weeks, may even take three if my butt's still draggin. Let me know how it goes!
Get some Mylecon, it helps that bloating and it has been a life saver for me! I was able to get 60 oz in protein in today BUT only 12 oz of water so far. 2 more hours before bed and I might be a me to drink some more water...we'll see?! Glad you are doing good! It is a lot of liquid!
I am looking into Dr Hanna in Las Vegas. I have spoken with his office and they are very helpful. The only thing I am concerned about is not staying in the hospital overnight. They said I would stay for about 3 hours after surgery then be sent to a hotel. (I am from out of town) Since you have been through this, what are your thoughts on the office, surgeon and not staying in the hospital overnight? Thanks and good luck with your journey!!
tmo.....made it to the other side and am beginning to feel a little better a day at a time. How about you? Sally
Tmo1973 how are you feeling today? I feel so much better today than Thursday evening. I had my VSG 7/17 too. Wow, amazing what two days can do! I did get a lot of my Isopure down today, almost 60 grams of protein. But I think it burns the inside of my mouth a little? I am a little scared to move onto full liquids, how about you? I did get a large cup of ice from Sonic today and sucked on those too. I hope you are feeling well!
I am very sore today. Had some gas pain Wednesday when I woke up after surgery but that went away by evening after I walked a bit. Yesterday was pretty good but today I am very sore. Have had no dry heaving & have been able to keep everything down, although all I've had is broth, jell-o & water. Will start protein shakes tomorrow.
How are you feeling? I was ok during the day on Wednesday. Wednesday night I had some dry heaving. Very tired & sore Thursday but feeling better. Today. Having a hard time getting all liquid protein down.
Looks like we both have surgery the same day!! Good Luck this week!
