WHAT I EAT IN A DAY AFTER VSG SURGERY

[@livinglife1400]

I’m having my surgery nxt week on the 17th and I’m so nervous, but I can say all of your videos have inspired me to keep pushing forward and prep accordingly lol even after surgery lol. Thank you Karen !!

[@karensandiego]

You’re gonna be soooo happy you made this choice !!! I’m glad my content has been helpful 💕💕💕

[@Zs_mama]

I just got mine done on the 29th of last month. Recovery honestly wasn’t that bad. Just make sure you walk after surgery if you can. After 2 days in the hospital I felt no pain at home. And remember to SIP. Good luck in your endeavors.

Don’t be scared I had it in April an hunny when I tell u . U gona love the decision I made ur makeing a choice to be healthy best choice u could of ever made

[@AnaKissairys]

Can you make a video about the process of getting to the surgery how long before your first appointment did you have your surgery? What did the doctors want you to do to prepare for the surgery ?

[@MrsCecetavares]

So glad I found your channel. I had VSG 3 weeks ago and really in the stage of regret. Eating seems like a chore and really not enjoying it like before. It’s encouraging to see from your videos that things will get better soon. Thanks for sharing your journey ❤️

[@karensandiego]

It will definitely get better ! I promise !! I definitely enjoy food now, just way less of it lol 💕💕

[@mel.1110]

I’m almost 3 weeks post and I’m glad I’m not the only one feeling that way! I know it will get better with time but it’s freaking rough out here lol

[@Carab3671]

I felt the same way, I still struggle with it now 4 months post op. It does get easier though, not perfect but better.

[@MrsCecetavares]

@@mel.1110 it definitely is lol!…we will get through it!! 💪🏽

[@ashleyoh9613]

Yay! I'm also 3 weeks out. Hey yall. And yes! I can't eat anything. 😫

[@hbranch5512]

Hey sis ! I made 4 month out yesterday 52 pounds down! I’m glad to see you plate your food 🥘 neatly! I follow a few vsg people and they food looks like slop on a plate and they have the nerve to weight it and it looks horrible! Smh 😃😃😃

Hope you love them !! 💕

[@Sunshine-tg7lx]

I am having my vsg surgery on 8/29!!! Your videos are so helpful in providing info on what to possibly expect as I embark on this journey. I am not nervous about the actual surgery but it’s the recovery process which can be different per person and then what if the procedure does not work because I am one of throes Uber rare cases. I’ll keep tuning in and seeing how you continue to progress in your journey.

[@mel.1110]

I’m almost 3 weeks post op and girl I’m SO looking forward to eating real food eventually🥲 I have a note in my phone of all the good meal ideas I’ve gotten from you!

[@karensandiego]

That first bite of solid food is gonna be amazing ! You’re almost there ! 💕

[@Zs_mama]

Girl you are telling me. I’m still on my first week of purées. But it’s honestly better than liquid diet. Lol I’m ready for a Chinese chicken salad. 😂

How did it go?

[@lashataylor7390]

I’m 9 days away from being 4 months post op ( today 194.8lbs 😜, SW 255lbs). When I tell you that it’s a struggle to find meals! I’m in a endless loop of eating the same things. Really tired of taking the vitamins . But no looking back now best decision I made, along with microlocs, lol! Thanks for taking the time out of your day to post all this great videos !

[@josephinecannon4058]

Congratulations on your accomplishment and well wishes on your continued weight loss journey. I am 9 days as well from my 4 months post op

[@Ddaniels408]

Karen keep posting the videos. I’m getting ideas of what to try

[@karensandiego]

I will !

[@Moonpie840]

Period! Been using straws since week 3. No issues and I get more fluids in.

[@karensandiego]

Periodddd ! I would not be getting as much liquid down as I do without straws

[@theoneondeck]

Yessssss love my straws. Have you tried the metal straws? They are amazing!!

[@sarabarsky111]

If you want to try tofu again, pick some up, press the liquid out, cut into flat squares, and air fry until it's as crispy as you like! I prefer my tofu crispy, I don't like the texture when it's too soft. You can flavor it however you want. I usually use a little bit of sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger and drizzle it on top with some broccoli. So good!

[@karensandiego]

Yea I will definitely try tofu again . Just never again from a pre made shelf stable pack like I did in this video lol

[@Tuantranfitnesscoach]

Hey ☺️ I appreciate the work ethic and patience you have when losing weight, because it motivates others to keep going!! New supporter to your channel! Let's grow together!

[@craftylady11]

I need to know where you are getting the music you have in your videos. It is lit. I am one week post-up. I’m taking it obed at at a time. I’ll be on liquids for the next three weeks.

[@karensandiego]

It’s from a website called epidemic sound ! It’s royalty free music for KZbin . 💕💕

[@theoneondeck]

I love that you used a straw!!! Girl I am such a straw person. Straws may not work for some ppl but straws are my bestie especially for protein shakes. Sorry not sorry lol hopefully the VSG police won’t fine me haha

[@karensandiego]

Lol the vsg police can attack me if they want to 🤷🏾‍♀️ ima keep using my straws 😂😂

[@tm05858]

All your meals look delicious. Very helpful video. Thank you for sharing.

[@mainecoonmomma3]

Thanks for the tip on the Kids Power Crunch bars! I love those and didn’t know they had a smaller version. I can never eat a whole one either! I’m 3 months post op bypass. Love your videos!

[@karensandiego]

I think they are only sold at Walmart ! Amazon has it too but overpriced

[@s.belton8447]

Hey Chick. The chicken taco looked delicious. I haven’t had rice bread pasta or tortilla since before my liquid diet but I might try to find a wrap that’s low carb. I guess it’s ok🤷🏽‍♀️ I’m 4mo out as of yesterday. I also use a straw any time I drink. Who gonna say something 🙄are we not supposed to? Love your what I eat in a day videos. Continue to post.

[@jlnielsen82]

If you're looking for a good low carb wrap, try Ole Xtreme Wellness wraps! I find them at Walmart and Sam's! Low carb, high fiber, and they taste good! They have a tomato basil one that is my favorite, but I haven't been able to find it since I moved! But the plain high fiber ones are good, and so versatile, you can use them for anything! Hope this helps! (I'm 6 weeks post op)

[@s.belton8447]

@@jlnielsen82 Thank you for the information. I’m surely going to Walmart and look for those tomorrow. I been nervous about eating tortillas because of the carbs. God knows I miss my wraps. Thanks you.

[@karensandiego]

The one I used in the video are the mission carb balance tortillas they only have 4 net carbs per tortilla and I only at half of it so it was only 2 net carbs ! Highly recommend !✨

[@jlnielsen82]

@@karensandiego I've seen those but haven't tried them yet! Good to know there's another option with the crazy supply chain issues lately!

[@s.belton8447]

Another great video, thanks for sharing!!!

Thank youu 🥰🥰

[@drlisa46]

Love how you're using the straw! Also, was wondering if you ever struggled with acid reflux post-surgery? I have a chronic cough that's very irritating.

[@karensandiego]

Straws help me get more liquids down ! I never had any issues with acid reflux but I know a lot of people do

[@nikitrip6816]

Try palmini for a noodle/pasta substitute!! Doesn’t have that gelatinous texture. It has a little crunch but mixes well with sauces. I’ve tried with homemade Alfredo and works really well with white sauce so it has to with the rest of whatever sauces lol. I parboil it for 1-2 mins first and then add to whatever dish. 🤗

[@karensandiego]

I’m gonna look for that !! Thank youu 💕💕💕

[@karensandiego]

It was Cajun seasoning , garlic , onion powder and Trader Joe’s 21 seasoning salute seasoning I believe ( I don’t measure I just eyeball everything and avocado oil marinated overnight . Good luck on your journey ✨✨✨

[@shavonaford]

You should try the heart of palm noodles from Trader Joe’s. They are yummy! How do you fit in your water also when we have to wait 30 min before and after eating? I’m still trying to figure out my routine.

I tried them before surgery and didn’t like it . My taste buds are so different now so I will try again !! Thank you 💕💕

How much water do you drink when on solids?

[@kenzierivas5498]

I just had surgery 8 days ago, and I’m constipated what can I do ? Lol

[@karensandiego]

At 8 days there isn’t much you can do . You aren’t eating any food to make waste yet . Once you start eating if you are still constipated you can ask your nutritionist what laxities she recommends. I use coffee to relieve constipation buy you are still too early to do that . Hope you feel better soon 💕💕
