Topic: A question for those who have had surgery

Hi all,

Quick question for the group.  I had VSG a week ago in Moncton and have been feeling great.  Hardly any post operative pain, no issues with the liquid diet, and have been taking in 70-80g of protein per day as instructed by the dietician.  today Ive felt lethargic and a bit lightheaded.  Has anyone else had similar issues and did it resolve quickly   Im hoping when I start on pureed food next Friday, my energy levels will rebound.  Thanks for any feedback!  Peter

Just met with him today! I see him again next week and his receptionist gave me a tentative date of Feb 19th as long as my next appointment goes well! Yay!

Hi Everyone 

I found this video last night on youtube and thought I would share it, I like how this guy sums up the top things we hear when telling people what type of surgery you are going for, they always give you crap about it. This Video made me fell a little better about all those people that seem to drag you down about it and make you feel like crap. My best friend really gave me crap years ago when I was just thinking about it and I think she touched on each of these things at some point. It took me 2 years to talk to her about it again.

Hi JJ ....the waiting and spinning thoughts ARE what everyone goes through.lol It is always there....always waiting for the next step.   It's tough when each stage has no guidelines or time tables...I am normally a patient person and I found it frustrating at times.  Reading posts on here and everyone so supportive and willing to share their progress has been such a blessing to me.  And everything that people said before me has been what they described. A very reliable group! The second I know or hear of anything I will be shouting it here!  You are close...so am I!
