I have never expereinced "dumping" but have had the "foamies". Foamies basically occur when you eat too much and your stomach gets too full. You burp up the gastric juices. It usually last me half...

I am six weeks post-op and am still trying new foods - fresh veggies and fruit have been tough on me. My first month post-op went well. I had very little gas and pain. I am taking omeprazole...
MsDana - welcom to this forum. I have been sleeved for 6 weeks as of today and am very glad that I did it. I know you will have an excellent surgery day as the 15th of Nov is my birthday. Hope you...
Get back up to 800 calories. At 500 your body is in starvation mode and is tenaciously holding onto to every ounce. Make sure you are getting in your 64 ounces of water, too. Good luck.
The 15th of November is my birthday. May it be your new birth day, too.
The surgery was a breeze for me. I stayed at the hospital two days but could have gone home after 1. I stayed 2-1/2 weeks at home but worked parttime from home the second week because I was so bored...
In addition to what RNOj1962 said, I also drank Isopure in a few different flavors. My surgeon recommended it though protein was not a priority the first couple of days after surgery.
I tried several but have found, as recommended by others on this site, that Premier RTD Protein shakes in chocolate and vanilla are the most palatable. You can order them online or buy them at...
Wow
! four months of meals for two families. You are incredibly prepared! I had my vsg last Tuesday also and am doing great. Made a meal for my hubbie the day I came home.
Joanne is right. Every doctor has a different protocol for your diet. Check out the recipes forum for some ideas to make clear liquids not so boring. I am five days out and doing fine but I do...
Welcome Kelly. This site has been an invaluable source of support for me. Hope you find it the same.
I just went through the surgery last Tuesday and am doing great! Minimal pain, minimal gas, lots of walking and no problems with getting my fluids in. I am amazed at how well I am doing. (And very...
I'm so sorry for you to be going through this. Stay strong and stay in your home! Like others have said, get a female lawyer. don't let your husband be in control of your life!
Good luck and hope all goes well. I'll be right behind you tomorrow!
I've told my family but as for my coworkers, I've only said that I'll be having surgery for digestive issues, including hiatal hernia repair. After I return, I haven't decided what I will say. Just...
We're sleeve sisters! I'm on the 11th also. Good luck to you!
Hello Jackie. Nov 15th is my birthday so I hope it will be a happy day for you, too. It's normal to be a little scared. I am both nervous and super excited about getting sleeved and now am just a...
Kim - As Lynette noted, every doctor is different. My schedule for foods is two days clear liquids, 7 days full liquids, 7 days puree and 2 weeks soft foods, then slowly introduce regular foods (one...
Horse pills will be a problem for a few weeks. My doctor recommends crushing all pills that are larger than an aspirin for up to 90 daays after surgery. I'll be crushing my pills and taking them...
Good luck to you. I'm just ahead of you on the 11th.
Good luck to you, Angela. I'm right behind you on the 11th.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. good luck
Most leaks will occur and be discovered while you are still in the hospital. That said, as noted by others, leaks can occur during the month after being sleeved if you abuse your sleeve by...
