18 Days Post VSG

Oct 14, 2018

Okay OH peps.  I am now down to 267 lbs; that is a lost of 36 lbs.

A few pointers for anyone preparing for the VSG surgery that they do not tell you at the hospital or your doctor's office.

1. Get you some chewable GasX. You will be taking more than the recommended about on the box but it will help along with walking.
2. Popicles will be your best friend.
3. If you have IBS, pay close attention to your body because the excess gas will irriate your IBS and you will not be able to get as much fluid and protein in your body.
   1. A home remedy without taking medication is using a heating pad on you abdominal area.
4. Crushing you medicines are horrible. Add your crushed pills in with a little of your protein shakes to hide the taste or act like a baby and refuse to take it (I did that in the beginning).
5. You will need to easy into laying on your left side. It will hurt on the initial attempt.
6. Relax as much as you can during your recovery.
