im in the puree phase post op of gastric sleeve and the last two days ive been very concerned about what i eat and how i eat it. i eat every 1-2 hours or else i get SO HUNGRY. as well as i take big bites not small and i finish my meal in less than 30 minutes??? heres an example of what i had today breakfast: frozen mango blended with lactose free milk which turned into icecream! (after two hours) snack: apple juice (after 3 hours) lunch: tuna blended with 3 spoons of greek yogurt and a tomato (after an hour) snack: jello but a big amount (after 30 mins) dinner: left over tuna with a big plate of beans. i wasnt even full after all that and i dont know what’s happening to me and caused me a mental breakdown, im afraid i ruined every pound ive lost the past 2 weeks and im panicking. thats just the beginning and im nearly starting a binging phase which terrifies me knowing it’ll get worse!!!!!!! i thought id be done with my eating disorder after i do the surgery but its still the same old depressing life....

July 2020 Surgery anyone?
Pandemonium replied to IWantTheDream's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Appointment well pretty well, though apparently it was supposed to be an over-the-phone appointment, though this was not communicated to me. So I showed up at the office, Fortunately, my doctor was able to see me in-person, which I was more comfortable with since the last visit was 4 weeks ago and 6 days post-op. Felt better to have someone look at my incisions and assure me they'd healed up perfectly. Their scale said 2 pounds lost since last week, but I'm going to wait until tomorrow which is my official weigh in day to record it on my scale. My diet plan is now 2 diet plans now to give me the option of using normal food. Still doing 2 Celebrate shakes, only switching from 1% milk to almond milk. And then I have the choice between doing 2 20g protein bars or doing 1 20g protein bar and 4 "forkfuls" of a protein source (approximately 2 ounces). Recommendations are scrambled eggs or yogurt first and then try chicken and fish if no issues with the eggs or yogurt. This makes me much happier. My goal is to try 5 days on the all protein shakes/bars plan and then 2 days where I mix in regular food. -
July 2020 Surgery anyone?
Pandemonium replied to IWantTheDream's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
His reasoning behind it is that his experience has shown that the reintroduction of regular food into the diet is when he sees the weight loss begin to slow. So apparently he likes to do a very slow progression and keep to liquids for as long as possible so as to maximize the immediate post-op weight loss. I'm not sure if I buy into that entirely. The protein bars surprised the hell out of me too. I was like "ummm...that's not pureed and I'd barely qualify it as a soft food". Of course, the way he has me eating them is that I cut the 1.5 bars into 4-6 pieces and then I spend 20-30 minutes eating a single piece until they are gone. So I'm only really consuming about half an ounce each time. My bites are small and well chewed so I've avoided any discomfort or vomiting so far. But it still seems weird to me that I get to have protein bars before I can have eggs, yogurt, or cottage cheese. I've been eating Think bars, which are one of my favorites. I also love the One bars, but I am out of those at the moment. I also LOVE Built bars, but the majority of their flavors are only 15g of protein and my doctor wants me doing 20g bars. I'm gonna be curious about my weigh in today (and tomorrow at home) since it doesn't feel like I've lost much this week and thought I might be looking at the first stall, but I go out of my way to only weigh myself once a week. Otherwise I'd probably drive myself crazy. -
I may have a small problem...
S@ssen@ch replied to Starwarsandcupcakes's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
I have a shelf in my pantry with 3 or 4 flavors and a canister of unflavored. I always keep some on hand. I use the unflavored when I have yogurt for breakfast for an extra protein boost. I typically don't drink protein shakes regularly, but I keep the others when I feel I need to re-focus and get back on track. -
6 yrs post op - weight gain - seeking support
bookworm1983 replied to Domika03's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
oof. Well, I have thrown out all the junk food (several times, in fact) and it just gets replaced; the food I get for myself (cottage cheese, yogurt, lean meats, etc.) get eaten and NOT by me. Conversations with the hubby have been had, but pretty much ignored. I acknowledge I have impulse control issues when it comes to food and I am working on it, but having temptations around all the time makes it difficult. I actually purchased new shorts and shirts online a few days ago so I can be more comfortable (waiting for them to be delivered) as my current clothes are too tight/small for me to comfortably leave my house to walk around the neighborhood. I am also going to talk to my boss about changing my login time so I can try walking in the morning when it is cooler rather than when I get off work when it is the warmest. (This seemed to work well when I had to go into the office. I took an earlier bus so I could get 30 minutes of walking in before work.) I downloaded a calorie tracker so I can start using it tomorrow morning. I literally cried when I got on the scale on Wednesday because my weight was way worse than I thought. It was a slap in the face and a huge reality check. I cannot change everything at once or I will get overwhelmed and quit. I am hoping that making these smaller changes now, losing a little and feeling better, I can make more and more changes. Since I really do not have a lot of support from my husband, I felt that coming here, I could find some POSITIVE support and encouragement to help me make these changes and STICK to them. -

What are the best items for liquid diet?
California Guy replied to hahn357's topic in Food and Nutrition
My liquid diet included shakes, sugar free or fat free versions of pudding, Jello, popsicles, soup broth, gatorade, yogurt and milk. -
Hello . I had my lap band removed because I seem to have loss extremely too much weight to to point I looked very sick . No sign of a woman . Just straight up and down. My removal was July 28, 2020. Today the swelling is gone down a little but I have a terrible knot maybe the size of an orange on my left side under my breast that hurts tremendously. I have put ice on it it’s not going down at all. It’s where the port was. It’s looks like I’m about 4 months pregnant in that area only. I really hate I banded myself in the first place . It feels as if it’s still inside even when I only eat yogurt . It’s having a bad time passing through. It has been about 2 or 3 weeks. I can’t find anything on line to tell me what this knot is about. It’s hard and painful. And really scaring me not to mention my stomach is black and blue and the incision where the port was is wayyyy larger than the incision in which the band was placed . Can anyone please enlighten me if this was part of the process of recovery ? If so when could you get back to normal. This is awful and my recovery was way simpler when I had the band places

Is anyone else as disappointed...
_Chonk_ replied to Luv2cruz's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I feel all your frustration. I am eating about 500-600 cal/day, and I have lost 1.5 pounds in 10 days. Today is 28 days since my surgery. I didn't know it was physically possible for the human body to not catabolize its tissue in what is essentially starvation. How does it do it? It goes against the laws of physiology. I religiously track every morsel that goes in my mouth, and try to add more calories, but my sleeve revolts and up it comes. I can't eat pureed chicken, tuna, eggs, and if I eat more than a few ounces of greek yogurt that makes its way up as well. I've vomited every day for the past 4 days, and sometimes several times a day. Literally the only thing that goes down easy are protein shakes, thin sugar free pudding or creamy soft cheeses, in small amounts. I'm so ready to start working out again, and started doing physical therapy for my back this week, but I'm so exhausted from the lack of calories that I can't keep up with even wimpy exercise now. So sorry for the venting here, I'm also getting insanely depressed about all this. Again, I apologize for unloading on you guys but there is no one I can talk to about this. Thanks for listening -

kellym1220 replied to IWantTheDream's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You are a girl after my own heart! I cannot eat the same thing over and over and over...which is probably how I ended up here! My full liquid diet does not allow for anything but protein shakes, strained soup and yogurt...but I cannot wait to get to the puree/mushies stage! Plans are being made and all recipes are welcomed! -
July 2020 Surgery anyone?
Double_Me replied to IWantTheDream's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi all, my first post here! I'm a little late to the party, but I had my RnY Gastric Bypass surgery a little less than two weeks ago. After some initial discomfort due to the anesthesia I've been struggling to get my protein shakes down. I've fortunately been able to eat full liquids starting my second week which has been an enormous relief- I never thought I could enjoy cottage cheese with a little bit of salt so much! I've been making an attempt to cook and prep my meals and limit canned/processed foods. My go-to's have been the aforementioned cottage cheese w/ salt and low fat greek yogurt with a homemade cherry 'jam' (cherries cooked down with a little splenda, lemon juice, water, and blended). I also made a caramelized onion & rosemary whipped ricotta dip, which turned out to be delicious and tastes richer than it actually is. I also attempted to make a 'mango lassi' style protein shake with some freeze-dried mango, greek yogurt, skim milk, and genepro. It turned out to be too much for my stomach to handle, but I hope to try it again down the line... I love food and cooking, and I also still love eating... which, in part, is how I got to my high weight. So far the surgery has helped me be satisfied with a 2 oz serving, but undoubtedly this will become more difficult for me in the future. I even saw it this week, when I was saving the best looking bite of my yogurt for last. I could have put down the yogurt a little earlier, but I wanted to finish my portion for that last bite. This is obviously a habit I want to break, so best bites first from now on. Looking forward to reading your stories! My surgery was late in July, so a lot of you must be close to 1 month out. How's it going? -

I’m also buying the Healthy Choice dressings. They’re a great marinade for chicken or just on salads. I also love the torani sugar free syrups for coffee or in plain Greek yogurt. -

Full liquids starts tomorrow!
kellym1220 replied to July222020's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm interested in this too...although I have been on this phase for 5 days! LOL I have been scouring Pinterest for ideas and here are some: https://sleevers.wordpress.com/2014/03/29/high-protein-jello-mousse-full-liquids-stage/amp/ https://www.bariatricfoodie.com/how-to-make-protein-oatmea/ https://www.bariatricfoodcoach.com/liquid-recipes-protein-shakes-after-bariatric-surgery/ https://www.theinspirationedit.com/31-soup-recipes-for-gastric-bypass-patients/ Mostly, I have been making Campbell's Healthy Request Cream of "Whatever" soup, thinned with additional 1% milk and strained to remove any non-liquid bits for my one savory meal per day. I also eat one greek yogurt per day and a couple of protein shakes. Everything I make, I add a scoop of Genepro protein powder to up my protein intake...I even made protein jello shots! -
I believe they do that during surgery but they did make sure that I could pee, walk around some as well as eat a little food without too much issue. I had some yogurt and potatoes. Sent from my SM-F700U using BariatricPal mobile app

July 2020 Surgery anyone?
kellym1220 replied to IWantTheDream's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doctor only had clear liquid through day 2, so I’ve been on full liquid, including strained soups and Greek yogurt, since day 4. (It could have been day 3, but I wasn’t up to much on day 3!). I am also a rule follower, so I totally get it! But I can’t imagine 2 weeks of clear liquid diet! Strained cream of chicken with added genepro protein made with 1% milk has been my go to for one meal each day. -
I recently bought a bunch of seasonings from Flavor God. Nacho cheese is good on pureed refried beans and mashed cauliflower. Buttered cinnamon roll is good on applesauce (helps to cover up the taste of the Genepro protein powder I add to is). Pizza is good on the famous ricotta bake. I also bought everything seasoning, taco Tuesday, and lemon garlic but haven't tried them yet. I like sugar-free caramel syrup in applesauce and tea. And I like to mix chocolate protein powder and PB2 powdered peanut butter into Oikos Triple Zero yogurt.

Repeatingthoughts replied to IWantTheDream's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
hi everyone, I am feeling really well. Still cant tolerate protein shakes, no matter what brand/flavor/homemade it is. I am still able to get my protein in through other approved measures. I cant wait to move to thin purees this Friday and eat a little more protein based foods other than yogurt. So far I am down 18lbs since surgery. Hope you are all well and wishing everyone a speedy recovery. Cheers to August! -
I spent a lot of money on protein but I can't drink any of it
DimsumQueen posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi everyone. I'm on pre-op and I bought enough protein to last into post-op. Stupidly. Isopure unflavored Isopure zero carb vanilla Nectar lemon ice tea Premier protein pack of 12 clear protein peach Reccomended by the clinic doing the surgery. Reccomended based on my issues - I'm lactose intolerant. I dislike milk in general. I don't enjoy milkshakes. The first clear protein peach was nice. The first nectar was ok, minis the off putting color that made me feel weird. Tasting a clear liquid liked iced tea, but brain saw a milky liquid in the glass. Day two, I try the vanilla from isopure. Smells makes me gag. Added matcha powder in it. Still disgusting. Tried putting some isopure unflavored in to lukewarm beef stock. Chalky. Starts to clump. Manage to drink it. Day three, I try another clear drink. This time it tastes too sweet. And the aftertaste is sickening. Later that day I try another lemon ice tea. I'm literally gag at the smell. I have to hold my nose to chug it. I don't know what to do. I stupidly spent a lot of money on this stuff trying to be prepared, we're moving house the weekend after my surgery, I also don't drive, which is why I ordered so much in advance. Today I'm lying in bed, 6 days until surgery, and even the thought of Greek yogurt and cottage cheese makes me sick. Protein powder sounds like a torture right now. Help a milk-hater out. TLDR: diary of my protein powder tasting. It's all disgusting. Please give advice. -
6 yrs post op - weight gain - seeking support
JessLess replied to Domika03's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You can do it! I gained 14 lbs, turned things around, and have lost 2 over the past week or so. I lose slowly at under 1500 calories a day. Breakfast: 1 egg, 2oz lox, 1/2 cup fruit, coffee with a little 1% milk Lunch: Healthy Choice Powerbowl (low carb) or similar Dinner: Fish, vegetable, occasionally brown rice or carbanada low carb pasta Snacks if I am actually hungry: fat free yogurt, banana, 1/2 cup Julian's low carb granola, unsweetened almond milk, low fat cheese stick, etc. I take a walk/run with my dogs for about 2 miles a day and do Pilates 2x a week. I'd like to add back weightlifting when it's safe to go back to the gym. Knocking off the number of snacks seems to have been the main issue for me. I would track and see where the extra calories have snuck in and see what you can live without. Good luck! -
Myotomy and sleeve to bypass revision due to GERD
Foxbins replied to Foxbins's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I did my weekly weigh-in today and I've gained 2 lbs. Not real, stuck on the hips pounds because in order to gain 2 real pounds in a week I'd have to have eaten 1000 calories a day, every day, over my calorie expenditure, which I didn't do. What I did do is eat a lot of Asian recipes this week. All are high in sodium, so I suspect I'm holding on to some water weight, but I wanted some strong flavors after yogurt, egg salad, and cottage cheese these past weeks. So I broke out the fish sauce, soy sauce, and made some quick cucumber pickles. Everything was delicious. I tried half a toasted English muffin, seemed to sit well. I haven't vomited at all, or dumped. Maybe I'll escape that. I am walking 5000+ steps a day and I will add some yoga and squats I think. I still feel like I'm wearing a corset, a tightness under the skin. It's odd but not painful. My incisions have all healed and the scab from the hole where the drain exited has finally fallen off. I still get some odd pains here and there, mostly around my belly button. I am taking a 750mg psyllium capsule each morning and have not had a problem with constipation despite falling short of my 64 oz fluid goal a couple of days this week. And best of all, still no GERD, no regurgitation, and I started swallowing full size pills without a problem this week. I have a telephone appt with the surgeon's office on Friday and I hope I can stop taking omeprazole then. -
I edited the above because I left out a word. "Recipe" #1 - I used Greek yogurt mixed WITH fruit or SF pudding mix (I left out the word WITH in my original post)

I have some cheap ones I got a grocery store a few years ago - they're still OK - but I bought these on amazon a few months ago and like them even better: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GDXHSZ2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 the two ways I make them: 1) Greek yogurt mixed fruit or SF pudding mix 2) SF pudding mix mixed with unsweetened almond (or cashew) milk + 2 or 3 scoops of protein powder neither of these recipes are super low in calories (but then...I'm in maintenance), but they have a fair amount of protein in them, which I need...

2 day post op pain
locura79 replied to MotivatedMomma's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow, I had gastric sleeve yesterday, and my post-op diet is clear liquids for 2 weeks, all liquids for two weeks, then pureed foods for 2 weeks. Yogurt is included in the all liquids section, and cottage cheese doesn't come in until the pureed phase at week 5. Pre Op - Post Op Handout Level 1.pdf -
I'm on day 16 and I read my grocery list to my dietitian and she was pretty okay with it. Mix it up. I try to buy things I can easy mix in my Genepro. I bought Wholly Guacamole, Applesauce, Yogurt, Deli Meat. I also agree, baby spoon is something I want to buy. The only time I felt stomach pain was with my diet lemonade, stay away from citrus. Sorry to hear you are going through this.
