Day 6 and Starving
LisaAnnMurray replied to Jess527's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am three weeks out. I was suppose to be on liquids for 2weeks post op then mushies 2 weeks and then slow introduce solids. I too was starving by day 6 and introduced protein shakes. This helped. Two days before mushies I started with thinned refried beans for dinner and they stayed with me much longer and I slept better. Now I have oatmeal for breakfast, greek yogurt with no whole fruit for snack, tuna with a dot of mayo and dot of pickle relish for lunch and for dinner I have tilapia with a small amount of pico de gallo and lemon. I drink 64 oz of water a day. Every other day for breakfast I have a homemade protein shake. I also walk at least 1 mile a day. I am on myfitnesspal.com and it has a smart phone app that is great....helps out alot. if you want to join I am always game for friends and we can support each other there also. Good Luck!! -
No Symptons Normal or not?
LisaAnnMurray replied to Mewizza's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on August 11, 2011 and I too have had no problems. I don't chug water but I take good sips. I am starting on normal food and I too stop at the full feeling. No bad affects. I too burp a lot but I think that will pass. I am loving the new feeling already. I can't wait for the weight to drip off. WooHoo....loving life!! BTW....join My Fitness Pal if you have a smart phone....holds you accountable....great food journal with a scanner to read bar codes on food! -
A little frustrated
LisaAnnMurray replied to sandiburn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am so glad to hear all this. I was banded 8-11 and went for my two week check up. I had lost 10 lbs but that was within the first week or so. I walked 4 days this week and if any of you live in the south you are wondering why I didn't sweat 10 more lbs off. The dr. seemed pleased so I have til the 16th of Spet before my fill. I want to see what I can do for me!! Good Luck to all you! -
I had my surgery on 8-11-11. I go back to the dr. on 8-26-11. What is the normal amount of weight lost on the first visit. I had a 5 lb loss during the protein part of the diet and just wondered if there should be a great loss ehen I go back to the dr. I have just started exercising....or walking.

4 DAYS POST OP AND STARTING TO FEEL HUNGRY
LisaAnnMurray replied to LJM's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had to be on clear for a few days and them just liquids for the rest of two weeks. I had surgery 8-11-11 and those I was going to starve to death on days 5 and 6. Day 7 I added protein shakes, oatmeal soup and very thin refried beans. I either had oatmeal soup or a protein shake for breakfast, pureed and strain veggie soup for lunch, greek yogurt snack and refried beans for dinner with lots and lots of water. 64oz with crystal light. It is hard but we can do it!! Good Luck!! -
I don't order food online,,,nor do I look at food onlinel.....but yet Chili's slapped me in the face also!

Post-op full liquid shakes. Yuck !!
LisaAnnMurray replied to S2b's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also like to make my own. I have both vanilla and chocolate whey. Skim milk is a must.. With Chocolate sometimes I add a like Turani sugar free syrup (vanilla) and a little Peanut Butter. It is mmmmmm. I also use the vanilla with a little Jello sugar free cheesecake pudding mix and sometimes also add a couple of strawberries to it. I have a personal blender that makes 2 cups so that is what I use for one day. Hope that helps. Experiment.....google homemade Protein shakes. Turani's flavored syrups are great. They are in coffee creamer section of wal mart. -

LisaAnnMurray replied to CherieElise's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have liquidified veggie soup also. My surgery was 8-11-11. I also thinned refried beans. I have had them for dinner the last two nights and they have filled me where I rest better. -
Congrats on completing one week and starting to feel human. Me too!! But the widget thing still has me stumped. Can you help me?
