Topic: Verticle Sleeve Gastrectomy - Post Op 2 Weeks
Hi everyone! I'm Tammy, new to the Forum, and I had a VSG on October 13, 2008. Would love to chat with anyone else who has had this procedure. Thanks so much!

Have you tried posting this on the Canda or MI boards? They will probably be the best place to find someone who is headed in the same direction. Otherwise good luck on your adventure! It will be fun for you.
Best of luck!

Topic: RE: 4 Days After Surgery
Congrats on your surgery. I didn't have lapband but had VSG instead. It will take awhile for some of the soreness to go away and just be careful. With laparoscopic surgery recovery is so much faster so you will be going strong in a few days. Just make sure to keep up your proteins!
Best of luck to you!!

Can you bike at like the Y? Not sure if your legs are stong enough for that. Also I have seen some gyms have like arm bikes. Where you petal with your hands when you can't use your legs but still get the workout from it.
My other suggestion woould be start lifting some type of weights. Have you contacted your exercise specialists to give you ideas?

All clears right now. Chicken broth is really yucky but I got campbells chicken noodle and drained off the noodles and it is much more tolerable.
God will never give you more than you can handle. Lord, am I close?
Topic: RE: Follow-up just started Pre-op Diet and I am starving...
If it is head hunger, that is some thing only you can deal with. I think keeping busy, reading this website and everything you can get your hands on about your upcoming surgery. Try to remember WHY you are doing this.
The physical hunger pretty much passes by the 4th day. You CAN do this!!
I thought I was passed the wanting food, but today I am making chicken soup. Cutting up the veggies made me want to eat them. I LOVE raw vegetables, unfortunately there are other things I love too. That is why I have to do this surgery. I need the tool to help me get to a healthy weight.
The support group meeting is great. I went to my first last night and it was quite inspiring.
Just hang in there and PM me if you want to "talk" more.
God Bless,

I feel really good as well.. Came home yesterday and have been off pain meds ever since. Only hurts some when I get into and out of bed. Actually drove myself to the bank today. Whatcha eating?
Topic: RE: Leaving now
Hey there,
I got home yesterday and am feeling really good to.. Just sore near stitiches and the port site. Slept well last night for the first time and am only on u over the counter pain meds now. The only "issue" I have is that they pumped me so full of fluids I gained almost 20 lbs from Friday morning (admission) to yesterday when I got home. ARGHHH. I was able to take a water pill when I got home though and have lost 12 lbs already....
What are you eating? I have only had some jello so far. No real desire to eat but I know that I have to.....
