  • It's only safe to eat that few calories if you really know what you're doing or under a doctor's supervision. In the case of any WLS, you are under doctor's and dietician's care.

  • Oh no! Well, I hope things get sorted out. When did you have your VSG? I'm a little over a month out. So are you not able to keep any food down at all? You eat & it comes right back up or what? Hope you're feeling better soon! Jennifer
