When I told my nutritionist about Keto and IF she flipped out on me and said that if I did that after surgery I was not going to be healthy 🤷♀️. I know she wasn’t correct and thank you Dr. V for confirming it.
The morning water really does help and your body does adjust unless you have an underlying medical issue. I stopped having a cup of coffee first thing in the morning and replaced it with water and at first I was spending a lot of time in the BR but in just a couple of weeks my body has adjusted and I have gone from someone that drinks hardly enough water to getting in 50-60 ounces of water a day no problem.
Doc you need to write another book on weight loss with sections from tools to slow down on how to get the nutritional needs . You do it in your videos but from top to bottom. From behavioral modification to how to get the nutrients you need etc. I know how to eat properly does not mean I do it . Your smoothie Big ass salad and protein meal (or just 2 big ass salads with protein) has just simplified my lead into surgery started at 490 did my own thing lost 60 pounds which was pretty much what you are saying. About 30lbs in went to my surgeon for the sleeve surgery had surgery 8/6/19 was 401 at time of surgery . Thank you for your straight forward approach
linda stensler ok so far no pain really after the 8th other than a momentary gas pain that goes as fast as it came on . Day of surgery 401 8 days later 386 . Almost feel guilty as one or two times I drank to fast had a quick tightness then nothing and have no problem with 11 oz premier shake drink it over 30 minutes. Got my Dr. Vuong advanced green smoothies book today so I will alternate till shakes are gone
This was very helpful, I was Sleeved 10 days ago and I drink a lot of water, but I find myself stopping in the evening because I was worried that I would, somehow hurt myself drinking to much water. Thank you!
I'm glad to find your videos. I feel like most of the videos out here preach to eat as much as possible for protein intake after surgery which really didn't make sense to me. I have dropped 20lbs just switching to soups, veggies, smaller amount of meats. No sodas, sugar, rice, flour, bread, potatoes. And a ton of water..
Exactly! I bump heads with my nutritionist because that whole protein thing from animal products doesn’t sit well with me. I can eat an egg, but that’s that. I rather get protein from chickpeas or beans. I’m still early on my vsg post op journey, but I can see myself taking it slow when it comes to meat.
My team sez- 64 Oz water minimum. So I have two 32 Oz water bottles, fill two in the morning, plus more. I always suck down both bottles plus and some drinks. Works for me.
I just found you channel I wish I had found you earlier I had my sleeve done in 2017 and was slow losing weight my surgeon told me I was lying when I said I wasn’t eating much so I ended up no going back after the 6 week check up. I have struggled to lose weight but since coming off Lyrica for nerve pain I am slowly seeing results but I need to lose another 15 kg so I can have knee replacement surgery as I’m struggling to walk and do just normal daily activities.
Not sure what he recommends but I'd highly recommend Raw Warrior. They have a "natural" flavor that I think is flavorless but the chocolate one is awesome for a shake with 1/2 banana and some crushed ice cubes.
that's not, drinking water is a myth that dr v says if you need water you will get thirsty your body tells you how much water it needs if you drink too much you gonna pee too much too there is a mechanism that God has implemented in your body and it is not a stupid piece of crap that you need to fix it
How do I get enough protein in with malabsorption from the traditional duodenal switch by just eating 1 meal a day? My protein levels are already low getting 90g a day. I drink an unjury shake and use protein powder daily.
I paid for my surgery 16K Cash !!! Iam so scared to fuck it up !!!! I been buying expensive ass gluten free food but still eat fast and crave everything
An egg has protein - but I fast all day and then eat a healthy meal. I lost thirty pounds I had gained with vitamin d ( mine was low) and changed my thyroid meds from generic to brand name . I returned to my normal weight between 105 and 110.
I can’t even drink a tiny sip of water without being then it’s cruciate in pain. I had gastric bypass one July 8 and on October 1 I had to get a feeding tube. I cannot eat or drink anything without being in this cruciate in pain and feeling so nauseous for hours
How easy does the stomach stretch out? Ive tried my best to be good. Ive caught myself drinking immediately after eating a few times. I have had a couple bites of bread. Ive eaten big bites and ive eaten fast. And i dont get a runny nose or feel full like i use to. I still dont eat much. Ive noticed i eat bites here and there. And it dont take me as long to finish what use to take me an hour or more. Surgery was 11/7/19. Im having terrible anxiety ive ruined my pouch. And i cant stop thinking and stessing over it. And i am doing best i can to be good. I havent had soda or any carbonation. But if i want something indo take a couple bites and step away.
It sounds like you need to go back to healthy eating and a routine. IF and keto are great. You can start eating 3 times a day with no snack in between and eat untill you feel comfortablu full but not more than that. Hope this helps.
Hi Dr. Vuong. I had gastric bypass on 8/14/19 & I'm struggling getting my fluids in. I'm scared I'm going to be dehydrated and have to go back to the hospital. I tend to drink a little more Powerade Zero than water. Is that okay?
Hey honey I was having this same problem.. and I watched a video and this lady saved my life .. I use a 2oz plastic shot cup and every 15 minutes I have a alarm on my phone and I drink the shot .. I am telling you girl it works!!
Also try different waters. Like Fiji or alkaline water. After my vsg I can't drink tap water which is what I use to drink before the surgery but I feel soo heavy after drinking it and it takes 30 mins for the heaviness to go away. I don't have that when I drink alkaline or Fiji water
Thank you so much for this video. I had the sleeve and still leaning to adjust. I personally would prefer to eat once a day but for some reason I feel bad. I’m just gonna do it and drink my premier protein shakes. Screw what the dietician says lol
Post/op 11 days! My new b hates water! I use to love it warm or cold.. NOW none! If I push little b a little more each time, do you think the heavy, nauseated feeling would go away?
Same problem. 2 small sips ok. Try a third and it's instant stomach ache. I have to use a nausea med to be able to eat enough as I couldn't stop losing.
@@daisyparker7509 3.5 yrs later and STILL can't do plain water .. I have learned I can add some of the water flavors and drink it 🤷🏻♀️... That and water straight out of the creek 🤣🤷🏻♀️...
I have a question I have been taking some proteins and I’m looking for one that’s natural because some of them makes my heart pitch and I don’t like that is there anyone that I can take that don’t do that please let me no ASAP thanks

I didn't know you were in a refugee camp Dr. V.
You are even more an inspiration now 😊
Thank you for not just pushing animal protein and dairy as the only way to survive after WLS.
I am so thankful for you. I feel like my journey will be successful because of your help.
I am preparing for surgery currently! Your videos have been so very helpful. Can you do a video on returning to work and exercise?

Congratulations on getting the amount of weight off before surgery! I am going in for a revision on Aug 29 and doing things by the book this time!
Hello, I see that you had surgery on 8/6 How are you? Just checking on you. Hope all is well.

Hi Dr. V.
I am enjoying watching your videos because they've been very helpful during my vsg phases. Thank you.
I'm getting the VSG in January and I really needed to hear this. Thank you for your videos. I am more of WFPB person. Not much of a meat eater..
I love your content, I’m a new subscriber
Not drinking enough water is a serious issue for me.
What is the flavorless protein powder that you recommend
soy protein is good
My team sez- 64 Oz water minimum. So I have two 32 Oz water bottles, fill two in the morning, plus more. I always suck down both bottles plus and some drinks.
Works for me.

Dr. V. Need to know how much of the seeds you mentioned to have to add protein? I love your green smoothies they are awesome and so are you
Helloo and very informative! Thanks
What kind a vegan protein powder do you recommend? I don't see it.
My favorite is Vega protein. It comes in powder or prepared shakes.
Not sure what he recommends but I'd highly recommend Raw Warrior. They have a "natural" flavor that I think is flavorless but the chocolate one is awesome for a shake with 1/2 banana and some crushed ice cubes.
I always eat 1 meal aday..I drink water n do my green smoothies
Thats one of my problems.. not drinking enough water.
that's not, drinking water is a myth that dr v says if you need water you will get thirsty your body tells you how much water it needs if you drink too much you gonna pee too much too there is a mechanism that God has implemented in your body and it is not a stupid piece of crap that you need to fix it
You seriously need a Nobel
I love lentil soup . I can’t find the link with smoothie
I took care of a client like this. She ended up in the hospital for months. Before she went she was very very confused almost like psychosis
Is it safe to take gas x after the surgery?
Yes
Thank you! 🌱
Is it possible to have a VSG and have long-term success if you are a vegetarian?
How do I get enough protein in with malabsorption from the traditional duodenal switch by just eating 1 meal a day? My protein levels are already low getting 90g a day. I drink an unjury shake and use protein powder daily.

Emily Zorzonello oh wow. I’m curious to know if your Dr. said why that’s happening? I hope you are much better now.
Is the protein water good to drink
How easy does the stomach stretch out? Ive tried my best to be good. Ive caught myself drinking immediately after eating a few times. I have had a couple bites of bread.

@@Cieloazul85 thank you ill try this.
Where is the link for the vegan unflavored protein powder?
is pedialyte ok to drink after Weight loss surgery ?
How long after surgery? Also, the whole point is...what is the nutritional value? Is it a natural drink?
I was told it was. I never drank it.
Yes sugar free and ill tell you now it's nasty but if you feel dehydrated then yes drink it
Hi Dr. Vuong. I had gastric bypass on 8/14/19 & I'm struggling getting my fluids in. I'm scared I'm going to be dehydrated and have to go back to the hospital. I tend to drink a little more Powerade Zero than water. Is that okay?
Teree Sanders no eat ice chip and set your alarm in your phone try to sip 1oz every 15mins my bestie just had it on the 7th

Can I drink lemon water instead of plain water after sleeve surgery?
No lemon is forbidden for 3 months
@@parizazj7061 I was told I could have lemon at 1 month. Guess it depends on the bariatric team.
I was told I could add True Lemon to my water from the beginning.
What is the name of the vegan protein powder?? Anyone knows?
Thank you so much for this video. I had the sleeve and still leaning to adjust. I personally would prefer to eat once a day but for some reason I feel bad. I’m just gonna do it and drink my premier protein shakes. Screw what the dietician says lol
So u can stretch your pouch by eating too fast?
I feel when I drink more then one bottle of thst I'm drowni g in it, like it wants to come back up, I can't tolerate it

Is there anything else that is just as good as water? To drink throughout the day?
I drink tea
They don't think I'm ready fir surgery because I like to IF.
I think also growing up it’s drilled into you you must have 3 meals a day
Water hurts my stomach
I want to like your smoothie but I don't like it and I don't like it because I can taste the spinach.
I am allergic to vegan powder.
Bullshit
do you have a recipe for a green smoothie?
Orit Rindner look at his TH-cam page he has a few there also he has a book
@@tomdalton4016 cool thanks! Didnt know that!
I tried his green smoothie recipe and it's revolting! I managed to drink about 1/8th of it and threw up.
Jeanne Davey which one ?he has like 50 of them
18 day since my sleeve surgery.. at first it was very hard to drink water now I can drink a lot... does that mean I stretched out my sleeve ???
if u eat ur last meal before 7pm u wont wake up in the night to pee
But the palm of your hand could be bigger than your pouch?
I would like to try a smoothie but my dietitian says " We eat our fruits and veggies, we don't drink them"
Wanda McKinney you are replacing a meal with his smoothies not drinking them with a meal . It’s ok to eat fruit and veggies and drink them as long as you do both.
Are you a real doctor? Doctor of what? Just curious ...
