Topic: RE: HELP!!! I totally cheated the liquid diet of the pre-op phase

I have cheated ?? .. I'm not having VSG .. in having open gastric bypass in 2 days .. I've been on my full liquid diet for 12 days now and like 2 days ago I had maybe 3 small slices of turkey ham ? I was starving and last night when making dinner for my husband I had a very small piece of chicken breast .. it's very hard to not eat especially when ur very hungry and tired of just protein shakes jello and chicken broth or tomato soup ... Also today I added a little bit of homemade salsa to my chicken broth to give it a lille flavor ? ... Hopefully I will be ok for surgery on Monday ...

I recommend that you investigate Vitamin B deficiencies... B1 , B2, B6. Baseline labs may shed some light...These B deficiencies reflect in my Hubs Neuropathy issues. It's a long shot.

I think you've already done that! By the way I usually when I have to do an essu or any other kind of work that requires a large text writing I use https://edubirdie.com/essay-grader this essay grader helps me a lot with this because my writings are not permanently good and it helps me to do this correctly. I have been using it for a long time now and I am permanently satisfied with the result.

The doctor also told me that I have to treat myself for a few weeks and then I will be able to get back to normal, I want to know if in 4 weeks I will also be able to do everything or will I need some restrictions anyway?

Why are people plagued with GERD post-VSG with smaller stomachs and less stomach acid for digestion with passing undigested foods? super stinky poo... and reduced stomach and stomach acid, heart burn, for a stomach, removed that never grows back nor you get or keep the full amount of stomach acid as you do pre-op?

You can search and find professional doctors stating that there are degrees in malabsorption for bariatric surgery, all surgeries. That is why they say all bariatric post-op needs vitamins since you cannot each like you did pre-operations.

Lots of folks doing Vlogs on YouTube stating they wish they had taken the vitamins since now they have permanent damage that could have been avoided. So let the folks work with the doctors that have their personal medical records and can run tests and prescribed medications to help them get the professional results they required which are unique to them. Just options can hurt them with no collateral insurance if the opinions are wrong.

Folks out here getting revisions to RNY... and just dealing with even less since the GERD post-VSG is dismal.

Remember wither it is VSG, RNY, or any other type of bariatric surgery, they all are serious selective surgeries with risks.
