Anybody able to eat chicken and rice casserole
KristenLe replied to 1975hoss's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'd say 25 days out is too soon anyway. I little piece of rice could cause a problem with healing. -

I'm not allowed rice. Expands in stomach. You could have the casserole minus the rice. ???? -
Protien Diet Issues?
KristenLe replied to _bribri1001's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@_bribri1001 Definitely log your food to discuss with your NUT. Are you low-carb? Be sure to read labels and make sure Fat and Sugars both under 5. Talk to your NUT but my pre-surgery diet includes fruits and veggies - that would help with constipation. Good luck! My NUT also told me not to worry about weight loss right now - that the his is when we learn how to eat post op. -
Weight Gained Since Having Gastric Sleeve Surgery

There's absolutely no concern taking PPIs short term. It would be better for her than allowing reflux to continue untreated. -
Nausea after protein shakes. Lactose intolerance?
KristenLe replied to Freckles70's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wouldn't imagine that it's sugar then. -
Prayers that all goes well with your oncology follow up.

Be careful of the sugar content too.

Try sugar free popsicles for some chewing. -
Chewing Again...
KristenLe replied to areader4life's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Is it true hunger? It's so important to stick with the plan - eating chips could cause a problem with your healing. We often experience head hunger. Stomach acid could also cause the feelings of hunger. Take Zantac or Nexium. Here's a good article...http://www.helpguide.org/articles/diet-weight-loss/emotional-eating.htm -

Deciding the Band
KristenLe replied to Isabel2point0's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Have you gone to any of the information seminars at a Bariatric Center? What are your "stats" - how much do you have to lose? It seems less and less surgeons are putting in the band these days. -
Dont know where to start
KristenLe replied to Concettaella's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@Concettaella I would go to a seminar first and ask about your situation with resected bowel. They may recommend the Gastric Sleeve surgery rather than Bypass. Also determine what your insurance requirements are for approval. You may need a referral from your PCP or not. -
Here's some ideas... cottage cheese, hummus, ricotta bake (recipe online), refried beans w/cheese (sour cream too), scrambled eggs, strained soups, sugar free pudding (can add protein powder).

Is there any reason not to start heavily dieting now?
KristenLe replied to Tina4heath4ever's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@sgc I believe once you are approved and have a surgery date - you should be all set. -
Make sure to get all your protein and fluids. If you are on BP meds - they may need adjusting. If you're doing all that - it seems it's a normal time post-op to be exhausted.

I'm 5 days out and beginning to have Charlie horse in calf
KristenLe replied to kat27641's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@kat27641 You will need more fluids. Try getting some with electrolytes like G2 or Mio drops. Fluids can be broth, flavored water, sugar free popsicles, sugar free jello, etc. Good luck. -
@@jackiery 10 lbs in 11 days is great! You need at least 64ozs water though.
