Plateau's Somebody talk to me
SanDiegoPhotog replied to anillacookie's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I had a long talk with my aunt about this. She works with a very well known personal trainer here in San Diego and I was complaining to her that I hit a plateau and she kind of told me some things to do to try and change that (but, my plateaus are nothing to complain about TOO much -- not a year or anything like that . . . just more like little hiccups along the way). So, I'm sorry to hear you've hit such a major plateau. Here is what she told me. 1. Log every morsel of food that is going into your mouth. Are you REALLY eating your Protein first? What kind of sauces are you putting on your food (are their hidden calories)? Stuff like that. You can take your lists of meals for the week and have it analyzed by a nutritionist or your doctor. They can tell you if you aren't getting enough calories, if too many of your calories are coming from bad carbohydrates, etc. They might also suggest little metabolic shocks to your body (for instance, I started losing again when I went on liquids for 2 days after my fill -- I think the sudden switch to liquids made my body "let go" of the weight). 2. Change up your exercise. The personal trainer here in San Diego would ask whose cardio classes you are taking and then if you plateaued, he'd tell you to go take different cardio classes. Are you doing strength training AND cardio? Here is what my doctor told me . . . I asked him merely about calories. He weighs me on one of those scales that measures your body fat composition and Water and all of that (Tanita, maybe? I can't remember). Anyways, he told me that he measures my metabolic rate on that scale, too, and he can tell me that my metabolic rate is at 1790. He says 2/3 of your metabolic rate is ideal for weight loss, so he wants me to consume 1200 calories. I was only consuming 1100, so I thought, cool! 100 more calories! yay! LOL! It's basically the equivalent of PART of a yogurt . . . but you know what I mean. Anyways . . . you might try doing some of that. I also read an article lately that plain old table salt (not sea salt and not the kind of sodium in processed foods, but plain old iodized table salt) is really good for your metabolism (I think it's the iodine). Anyways, you might want to check with your doctor and see if you can have more table salt (I have low blood pressure, so I've never really had to limit my salt intake), or see if your multi-Vitamin contains iodine in it (some do). I hope some of that helps. :thumbup: -
Sleeve surgery 06/09/2016
Kristinsleeve06092016 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am having the hardest time. I don't know what to eat and I do feel hunger. I eat yogurt with genpro for breakfast. Even though I could have scrambled eggs now. Then last night after broth for lunch. I had refrained beans. I wanted more but I was scared. I think I had about 1/3 of a cup. Anyway. I'm struggling and don't feel like I'm losing. I am so scared I did this for nothing. I love real food. So the sf puddings are wearing on me. I don't like sweet as much as not. Help. What are you guys eating two weeks post op. How much. How often. Thanks. -
Yuck. I can't stand fat free dairy. It's like a sin to me. I do reduced fat everything except I do drink skim milk and ff fage Greek yogurt. Some stuff that helped me: scrambled egg wit milk in it and our some spicy stuff on it to waken up your taste buds! Made a three bean chili Soup and puréed it...from William sanoma and is delic!, making your own tuna salad is also really good cause you can put in the flavors you like. PB2 mixed with some greek yogurt or with some low sugar jelly. Good luck!

12 days post op = struggling
Berry78 replied to bones_girl206's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yeah, so I've lived off of milk and home made broth. Tomorrow I start purees in earnest, and that will go much better! I've been lucky to not be sick, probably because I didn't push all those fake things. Oh, and Siggies drinkable yogurt or kieffer is da bomb. -
I mix like 1/8 Special K protein or a dozen chopped up almonds in my Greek yogurt if I'm needing crunch. I get bored with it if I try to eat it plain day after day.

Post Sleeve Nutrition

I assume they mean the sugary kind of yogurt with all the extra carbohydrates. -
What did you put in your fridge? (Groceries for post-op)
mylighthouse replied to Kila Rass's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For the full liquid phase, which I did for 2 weeks after my sleeve: Fat free Greek plain yogurt (sweeten with Stevia-it's good) sugar free Jello Sugar free chocolate pudding Organic chicken broth (added my unjury Protein powder to it-yum) Cream of chicken or cream of celery (my favorite) Soup (again, added the Protein Powder to it) That was about all I felt like eating. Mostly did the yogurt, Protein shakes and cream of celery soup. Did not feel like having much at all, and my appetite is just now starting to increase at week 5 post op. -
I never crushed, though I know of others who have and then mixed the bits into sugar-free applesauce, Greek yogurt, or mashed potatoes. I cut my larger Vitamins (multi, calcium). Post-op meds were liquid (Vicodin) and very small tablets (Pepcid). For what it's worth, a too-large pill that gets "stuck" is uncomfortable, but with time and drinking fluids it WILL go down.

3-days Post-Op (Liquid)
Namaste6 replied to Namaste6's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Today was Day 4 - I got 62 oz of Protein in with 42 oz of Fluid (counting Water, juice, Protein shake, yogurt, and soup). As soon as I am at the 4 oz. mark, I start getting this heart burn feeling in my chest. At least today was better than yesterday. It give me hope! Thank you all for your experiences! -
7 weeks out and traveling, no appetite, can't eat a thing!
The New Kel posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Happy early Thanksgiving all. I am traveling, got in Monday and am staying in a hotel all week. I have not been able to eat anything except yogurt (a little) since I left home. I've tried everything and nothing is going down without pain and immediate fullness. Also, I have had zero appetite for three days. I have had maybe 400 calories total since Monday. Could it be travel stress? I'm getting a lot of stomach spasms. Tomorrow (Thanksgiving) I will be in mixed company, most of who don't know I've had surgery. Should be interesting, especially not being able to eat at all. -
Please Post Your Pre-Op Shopping List.
vsgm replied to CHELL's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
From reading great advice on this forum I made a list of these items & gathered in preparation........ :-) bariatric Protein powder (I like the fusion chocolate mousse) & some pre-made Protein drinks for quick & easy grabs GasX (sounds like the gas afterwards for a few days is quite painful) Nexium (ditto on the acid) liquid Tylenol (to use after the dr's liquid painkiller has finished it's job) lots of gatorade, s/f Jello, Water bottles chewable bariatric Vitamins (again the Fusion isn't bad...the mixed berry looks a bit intimidating but is relatively easy to chew up and swallow...my dr advised 2 of those a day for always after.) pill crusher (this is a cool little thing I found at WM which crushes any non-chewable pills you have to take) low cal/lactose free yogurt of course my chapstick! that's all I can remember at the moment! Best of luck! I go in tomorrow morning............(feels like the first day of school when you were a kid!) -

bashmom replied to bashmom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am on fish fillets now, not allowed to eat beaf yet.,tofu, green peas, beans,lentils and Greek yogurt what else?? So tempted to eat some carbs :-( -
Too funny Jake! I dreamed of food last night too! I woke up, mouth watering over a McDonalds cheeseburger! I don't even like McDonalds! Lol! I'm eating mushies for lunch and dinner 1/2 cup or so and a medifast shake for breakfast, not because the dr told me to, but because I can't eat in the morning. I pretty much eat whatever I make my family for dinner and yogurt, tuna or eggs for lunch.

Estrogen and weight stall
fatnomore2017 replied to Fishing girl's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Just protiens very few carbs. Protien Shakes with less than 6 carbs, scrambled eggs or eggwhites, yogurt with more protien than carbs, ricotta cheese, string cheese and cottage cheese. No oatmeal unless it's the specially formulated bariatric kind because it has too many carbs. My nutritionist is very big on very low carb. She said our bodies burn our carb tank first and then fat so low carb is important for fat burning. -
List Of Can/can't Eat Foods...
Happy Camper replied to Parker's Dad's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Dave, I am 8 months out and 100 lbs down, during my rapid weight loss period, I discovered my stomach did care for bread, skim milk or Greek yogurt. I never got sick, it just felt odd. Today, all is well but I just make wise choices. I use soy in my coffee and not milk, if I have bread whole grain and I Always eat Protein first. It is now my lifestyle. I had a piece of chocolate cake on my sons birthday this month, and it was great. I just did not eat half the cake . The VSG has been one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself and family. Good luck to you, I hope you have a fantastic journey as well! -
List Of Can/can't Eat Foods...
Jennifer SoFla replied to Parker's Dad's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was having dizzy spells and was told to increase my carbs. I learned really fast that flour tortillas do NOT agree with my sleeve, I have no desire to try corn ones. Also I cannot stomach a scrambled egg but I can eat an egg sunny side up which is interesting. I also think I am post op lactose intolerant, I have tried cheese, yogurt and chocolate milk and all made me sick. I never had a problem with dairy before surgery and since I am only 6 Weeks out I am hoping it will subside. Throwing up the foam has been the worst part for me, I try so hard to avoid vomiting but it is the only thing that relieves that pressure. I think an antacid would help but my doctor doesn't want to put me on anything unless I absolutely can't live without it. -
So I attempted to go out w friend yesterday and the few places we went I didn't see any options. I'm 3 weeks out and still have to eat mushy- but sick of yogurt and not huge on meat. So I got all snappy and ready to cry because for the first time since surgery realized the struggle this is going to be... any food ideas or websites?

2 weeks out, liquids only. Whats with the heartburn?
Jiggly Puff replied to marfar7's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm also 2 wks post op and I'm still on a full liquid diet until tomorrow. I've also been experiencing terrible heartburn for the past couple of days (with no actual food intake as well) and last night was the worst! It actually woke me up from an Ambien induced sleep. I thought I was dying, I didn't know what was wrong. My instinct just told me to eat Tums and it worked. I'm also eating those like candy. From other forums on this website I found that we should probably talk to our doctors about that. It sounds normal from what I can tell from a lot of other posters on this website. At the top, I searched for "heartburn" and found more info. One person said we're getting acid reflux from our stomach's being empty. So I've been trying to eat a small spoonful of yogurt throughout the day. I'm going to start taking an OTC med for it too. Another person said his eventually went away after a month. So in the meantime, I'm going to continue to eat my Tums until I see my doc. Good luck to you! -
1 month out and aggravated...
thepick4u replied to JAnnette's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I really don't feel too sorry for your cravings.lol. I'm six weeks out and still on liquids.,!!!! I don't mean to sound like a "B" but I would love to have a bite of chicken or fish. I'm so sick of yogurt and cottage cheese that I ought to be mooing. I want something hot that tastes like food. Any minute amount will do. I don't get all the strange variations in diets among these docs. I hope you find a healthy solution that satisfies you though. Good luck, -

2 weeks out, what is the pain???
Boredoncemore replied to Boredoncemore's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think I will try some Maalox or something...finally after 4 days of pain I can finally think of trying some mushies...I really didn't do any full liquids, nothing that sounded or tasted good to me, I've lived on Isopure and water! I'm hoping it was just eating a semi solid food and it freaked my stomach out. I can't imagine how 2 ounces of yogurt done that--but it hurt like *&^%! Now I'm just scared to eat anything, I'll be glad with my period is over and I can tell which pain is from which problem! Last night sleeping was awful, the past 4 days I've had to take 3-4 hot bathes and showers to relax my body, it is so tense from the pain. UGH! How did I manage to do so well for 11 days??! I was eating mashed potatos just fine and then BOOM--no no! -
Thanks Meggie!! You ARE my biggest fan! :D I do not seem to have a problem with the Iron, but i do still have diaharreah from time to time. I think either the yogurt or Protein drinks ( i am not supposed to drink)!! I am super excited to get to actually have some 'real' food even if it is all pureed up!! i think i am going to have chicken salad as my first meal!! come on tomorrow!! LOL Good job on the 10lbs!! That is great!! Keep rockin' that sleeve girl! My pants that I am wearing today at work are really big in the butt!! I feel as if everyone is staring at the saggy butt! LOL People are starting to comment!! I lost 55lbs pre-op and only a few people noticed (or said anything), now people are starting to say stuff! I just smile and say thank you! Good luck with your appointment on Wednesday! I will keep my fingers crossed that you can advance your diet too!! Hugs, Kelly

2 week post op visit, moved to mushies, full on 3 fork fulls?
warrior68 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Went for my two weeks post op appointment today, and the doctor moved me on to mushies, oh how I have been waiting for the mushy stage after not eating anything since the 23rd of last month. I was so excited to get home and puree some tuna, and that is what I did, problem is that after three fork fulls, I felt very full, is this normal? After a few hours I ate some yogurt, and it seemed I could get more of that down than the tuna. Will I be able to tolerate more as time goes on? Two weeks post op, down 40 lbs since starting the liquid diet 5 days prior to surgery, and my Blood Pressure is already down by a lot, dr is taking me of the BP med already! I could not be happier! -
6 weeks post op- what can i eat?
metallica-mommylove replied to New Me 31317's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I eat most of whatever soft foods - I had bib lettuce with ham and cheese rolls - two tiny ones with mustard - it was yummy I had clam chowder and Manhattan style too- 1/2 cup but like 1/4 cup at the time I ate 1/2 fish patty Avocado with tuna - I found this tiny tuna cans and one can suffice for two meals - egg white and a bite of sausage from a McDonald's sandwich - order no butter no cheese and - I didn't ate the bread - egg for breakfast and sausage for lunch - I keep ready to drink protein powders in my bad as well as light and fit yogurt which I add protein powder or peanut butter powder - those are my go to kind of foods - oh and sugar free popsicles I'm in my fifth week now - -
I never measured sips or ounces per hour, I just sipped on and off all day. Early on I figured out a way to get both in. My Protein shakes were 1 scoop of Protein powder, ¼cup FAGE 0% Greek yogurt mixed with Water and served over lots of ice. This got in my protein and a little water. Total protein count was between 31 - 38 gms of protein. It took me 45 minutes to drink it, but one of those for Breakfast and one of those for lunch and I had hit my 60 gms of protein by mid day. I then spent the afternoon simply sipping on water. dinner was the veg broth with half a scoop of unflavored protein powder.
