VSG Week One Post Op Check In // Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ICONIC PROTEIN - www.drinkiconi...
So excited to join the Losers Bench this last week!!!! I finally had my VSG!
Today was a full week!
HW 270
SW 235
CW 230.5
POUNDS LOST SO FAR 55
Welcome Welcome- I’m so glad you found my little corner of RU-vid friend!!!! I am a mom, a wife, a nurse and chronic pain survivor on a journey to better health and wellness for myself, as well as my family! I am newly post op VSG, vertical sleeve gastrectomy surgery. Prior to Surgery I found Keto, and it has changed my life!! KETO LIFESTYLE is not only aiding me in losing weight, but it has helped my pain levels, brain fog, and energy levels more than I knew was possible. That alone has me on FIRE for Keto. I have ALWAYS loved to COOK- feeding people makes my day - so I decided to include lots of healthy keto cooking on my channel! This channel will be all about weight loss, with healthy cooking and DITL type vlogs thrown in!

Wow! You seem to have so much energy and great food planning. I remember at a week out I was so tired!

@TimetoShrink 5 лет назад

I turn on the energy on vlogs. Lol. I am pretty tired in actuality

@LittleKansasKitty 5 лет назад

You're doing fabulous getting your protein in! Don't you worry about the bloating and gas. It will go away and you will see some steady losses in the weeks to come. You look so happy! CONGRATS again!

@TimetoShrink 5 лет назад

Thanks for the encouragement!!! Much needed! I am really happy!!!! So so glad I did this!

@Loserleighvsg 5 лет назад

Hey! Getting my surgery in 23 days. Thank you for all the information, you are so fun to watch

@TimetoShrink 5 лет назад

I’m so glad - my whole reason for this channel is to help others going through the same thing!!!! So glad to “meet” you. I’m here if you have any questions and I will be cheering you on- keep me updated!!!!

@lisalindner3846 5 лет назад

I gained weight the first few weeks. Then was a huge drop! Keep up the good work. It’s a journey and will come off.

@TimetoShrink 5 лет назад

Thanks for the encouragement!

@MsStormyluv 2 года назад

Thank you for sharing that info. I had surgery 6 days ago and so far, I seemed to be gaining weight. My hands and ankles are puffy and swollen.

@Floridazen 5 лет назад

Looking great and shrinking. I been doing this weight loss thing since 2012 and still going, my gas lasted a long time+ gas pain was BAD like childbirth. epidural? OMG I would have died, that didn't work in during childbirth 1984. I love that you have a medical background, me as well :D

@roxanazapien8283 5 лет назад

Hi I'm going through a lot of pain, I don't have any fever or infections just the pain that won't go away. It does feel like giving birth c-section...I just had my vsg done 2 weeks ago

@ketolisciouslife 5 лет назад

I'm sure it will take a couple months for healing and inflammation to even start to go down. You look great! I love broths too they taste yummy. I have mixed just a couple tablespoons of the cheesecake jello with heavy cream and it makes the most delicious mouse. Can't wait to see how your journey progresses!

@TimetoShrink 5 лет назад

Thanks!!!!! I’ll have to try that

@GraceGetsGastric 5 лет назад

Awesome loss, especially if you're feeling bloated! Crazy about the epidural--glad that turned out okay!

@TimetoShrink 5 лет назад

It was super anxiety provoking for sure!!! I am thrilled with any loss this week. I am Soooo bloated it’s not even funny

@rebeccajones1120 3 года назад

I'm having surgery on the 17th and I also have Fibromyalgia and Stage 4 endometriosis. Have you found since your surgery that your Fibro has improved? That's my number one goal of this surgery.

@TimetoShrink 3 года назад

Not with weight loss no- when I eat super super clean ant inflammatory foods - that helps most. But I do have flares and daily pain years out. I’m sorry to have to share that. The good news is- to lose weight eating super clean anti-inflammatory foods is super helpful as well

@dimplesd8931 5 лет назад

I’m 2wks post sleeve. Love your videos. I can’t do artificial sweeteners. They give me migraines even stevia. Would love you to do videos with natural sweeteners, sweet potato or something like that in puddings or desserts. I’m trying to do low carb, all natural foods.

@TimetoShrink 5 лет назад

I would probably lean towards coconut sugar, raw honey and real maple strips and molasses as my sweetness in your case. Definitely more carbs than I personally would do, but for treats every now and again that’s what I’d do! How are you feeling? How’s your journey so far????

@shannyclawssmith-nolan7430 4 года назад

Might give Yacuma powder a try.

@BariBabe 5 лет назад

From an “old timer”...It’s recommended that you count the Genepro as 10-15 grams of protein. One of our members did research, and “outed” Genepro for false advertising. She’s an analyst by trade! Since then, I’ve given up the Genepro. You are doing great!

@TimetoShrink 5 лет назад

I may switch to isopure after... I’ve heard this from a few peeps now. Thanks so much!

@HelloVsg 5 лет назад

great loss so far even with the swelling! My body also liked warm or room temp drinks better than cold ones. Really great job with your protein. I also found that i had to do a variety of different things to get all my protein in. Also a lot of people don't start to experience constipation until after the liquid diet is over so you might be lucky or it might be because you are still doing mostly liquids.

@TimetoShrink 5 лет назад

Good to know. We shall see. I am taking a stool softener just in case.

@KETODiamond 5 лет назад

:) Best of luck! I didn't do surgery, just keto but I love to watch people getting happy and getting healthy!

@TimetoShrink 5 лет назад

Thanks. I never plan to leave Keto, but for me I needed a little faster help getting healthy.

@donnashappyplace 5 лет назад

Congratulations. The swallow test is nasty, but I'm shocked they didn't go over that in pre OP classes. We weren't even allowed to have ice chips until we passed that test. Most I know had drains in the first week too, but mine wasn't producing anything so they pulled it 20 hours post op and I went home since I felt fine. Looking forward to following your progress! 💕

@TimetoShrink 5 лет назад

Part of going to Mexico I guess? No preop classes. Yep no ice chips till after leak test. I do wish I’d been prepped for that! Really my only complaint

@mikaweerasinghe6110 4 года назад

My surgery is in two weeks. I’m currently on keto and I love it! I’m glad you are creating content for keto post VSG. I found your videos to be very educational. Question: how soon did you get back on keto after the procedure ?

@TimetoShrink 4 года назад

I stayed low carb- got back to keto when I was cleared to full regular diet. I’m so glad I can be of some help and hopefully encouragement

@heres2secondchances132 5 лет назад

Congrats! You are doing great. Swelling will go down.

@TimetoShrink 5 лет назад

It’s finally starting to. Thanks!!!!!

@RedBird77 2 года назад

Going to Mexico for any type of surgery makes me question the decision-making making of some people. I guess desperation kicks in to make these types of risky decisions.

@TimetoShrink 2 года назад

It sure if you watched my surgical video- but I a nurse and I researched like crazy. Also it was the best care I’ve ever received- cleaner than any hospitals I’d worked at in 20 years of nursing and 1 nurse to 1 patient ratio- for a standard surgical procedure. I have NEVER been able to do 1:1 care in any US hospital for a standard surgical patient. Maybe don’t slam people for things you know nothing about.

@meyonniaalexus5093 5 лет назад

Gnc brand pure isolate protein powder is the best! I just had my surgery and it’s definitely one of the best tasting powders. I get chocolate frosting and it’s amazing!

Glad you are healing well and sorry about the bloating. Constipated? It will get better.

@TimetoShrink 5 лет назад

Nope. I’ve actually had quite the opposite. Lol. I think it’s just some trapped gas still?? And I had a lot of IV fluids and they always make me retain water.

@@TimetoShrink LOL, never have the opposite problem except with an occasional stomach virus or medicine for IBS. I have IBS with constipation so that is probably where my brain goes.

Coul you do one and tell me about your clear liquid diet right after surgery and how long you had to be on it

I was clears for 5 days I believe. I just had broth, Powerade and water on repeat. I did a lot of Asian broths from a restaurant and strained if anything else in the broth.

Since you have so many booklets and log books could you please go over a simple way to log your food each day? It's only me and my husband so it won't be hard to make single meals for me but I'm still kinda crazed about the keeping up with protien, Carbs etc. My booklet from my surgeon isn't very informative so that's why I'm YouTubing as much info as I can. If you already have a video explaining how to takle all the requirements for first days post-op let me know and I'll watch them. Thank you.

@TimetoShrink 4 года назад

If you watch my Bariatric keto for beginners playlist I go through the app I use and how I log everything I eat. If you have more specific questions after you watch it you can email me!

Hi Erica! I’m a new subscriber... and 10 days post-op from VSG surgery 😊 Could you let me know what the benefits of the MCT oil and collagen powder is? Does it make your coffee thicker or change the taste? Thanks! ❤️ I found you through Erin’s channel!

@TimetoShrink 3 года назад

I no longer use MCT- but it is a way to easily get fat if need more- it is also immediately converted to energy so if you are keto and lacking energy it can be nice- not needed Collagen- for hair skin and nails and joint health- I currently like the unflavored Equip brand - it has no taste ( linked in description of my current vidoes)

@Mindy14 5 лет назад

I have never heard of them using epidural for Bariatric surgery.

@TimetoShrink 5 лет назад

It’s actually a great idea. People generally get back to baseline way faster as it clears system way faster than general anesthesia. Recovery can be better.

@Mindy14 5 лет назад

TimetoShrink that makes sense, i had 2 c sections, one I had both an epidural an then anesthesia then the second one I just had the epidural. 2 recovery was much easier.
