VSG Surgery on August 12th Feeling better Everyday
Hi everyone, Thanks for all the great messages and support. As each day passes I am feeling better and stronger. I am drinking my protein shakes, soup, yogurt, applesauce, jello, popsicles. I have not had any vomiting. I do experience indigestion but not all the time. I have to say that the extra air that you experience right after surgery was the most difficult for me. But getting up and moving around was very helpful. I have finished with my blood thinner injections that I was taking post op, still taking medication to lower acid production. I am getting out walking everyday. I went to see my GP last Thursday for a check up and I have lost 15lbs. since my weigh in at the hospital pre surgery. I have to try to get in more water as I know I am not getting enough. One funny thing that I am experiencing is that when I eat anything my tummy does a lot of talking to my....gurgles and growls!!! Has anyone else experienced that? LOL!!! 
Congratulations on your surgery, and your recovery since then. I had my surgery on August 4th, and am just one week into the pureed foods phase, so am doing my best to change it up to make it interesting.
My stomach makes noises all the time, especially right after I eat, so I don't think it's unusual. I don't know how long this will last, but for now, I'm fine with it because it means my stomach is working, thank goodness.
I read your post and had to check who wrote it because I thought I was the author! Except for the surgery date (mine was 8/5) we sound like the same person. The only complaint I have is the bruising on my thighs from giving myself blood thinner injections. I am on my first week of soft foods (my NUTs plan is for 2). I look forward to each meal. I love tuna fish with cheese!! Yes, my tummy gurgles too!
