Question:
I am 3 weeks from an VBG and still haven't been given a diet any instructions.

I need help. I was operated on in a VA hospital and they haven't done this procedure on anyone else. I have not gotten any support from any dietician yet. They are not qualified in this area. I vomit daily as I try to eat. where can I get a diet and find a support group. I am begging for any assistance.    — William T. (posted on April 26, 2001)

Hi there! It's sad they didn't prepare you fully for this.....a vbg diet needs to be careful as there are certain foods that are NOT good to eat in the first few months. I am posting my surgeon's website where there is a sample diet and a list of foods to avoid the first 6 weeks as well as sample diets for the second 6 weeks. All the information on this site is what we are given in a booklet at pre-op testing. I hope it helps you and feel free to email me with questions any time! http://www.weightlossurgery.com/after_the_surgery.htm
