Is it possible that I am still swollen???
123crod replied to Phranp's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have the same problems expect my fill has been 2 weeks ago. I only have 3.5 ccs in 10cc band. I only got .5cc this last time. I am sticking to yogurt and protien bars as I have no problem with them. -
Well, so far so good. I had my last fill 4 days ago and was back on regular foods for the last two days. I think my band is perfect now. I tend to eat yogurt for breakfast and it goes down with just a little bit of slow down. Lunch is a tiny bit tight, and supper is perfect. I'm now down to about a cup of food at supper time....which is when I really need the help to stay on track. It looks like I will be able to maintain 1000-1200 calories pretty easily now. I was averageing a couple of hundred more then that before the fill. It doesn't sound like much difference, but thats almost half a pound a week difference. I have cut back to about 10 hours of excercise a week. I'm really busy at work right now, and the reduced calorie intake should make it all equal out.

I would recommend trying different brands of greek yogurt. I've heard great things about the Trader Joe's greek yogurt. I like the Yoplait greek yogurt and the Lucerne brand (store brand). I bet if you really want to have cereal you could mix some cereal into your yogurt (just not too much so you don't get too many carbs). What about cottage cheese? It has a lot of Protein and is pretty easy on the tummy.

Try the Greek Yogurt in a smoothie - it masks the taste and the texture. This one has 10 grams of Protein and about 95 calories: 1/2 c. Fage 0 Greek Yogurt ( I buy it at costco, comes in a giant tub): 65 calories 1/8 c. OJ: 15 calories 2 strawberries: 15 calories Splenda to taste ( I use a couple tablespoons) Lynda

Hello all- I JUST realized that I was supposed to stop taking my vitamins a week before my surgery and I have not. The surgery is Thursday morning and it is now Monday evening. Did anybody else have to do this pre-op? I can't believe I missed this, it is written in my instructions and I just COMPLETELY missed it. Derp. Otherwise I am on low carb, mostly liquid diet. Protein shakes for breakfast and lunch, and a frozen meal for dinner. A couple of light snacks through out the day (V8 once a day, then an oz of cheese or cup of yogurt and a piece of fruit later). I can't imagine that having kept taking my vitamins will do that much harm. I am not even sure why I need to stop them. Anybody know? Thanks!

I'd LOVE to see the quinona/bean salad and the Greek Yogurt cheese recepies!!!

You can make a bean dip with black beans, blackeyed peas, or kidney beans. You can also do a 3-bean or 7-bean salad. Anything with cheese has a lot of protein but also fat. You can make a dip with plain greek yogurt and ranch dressing mix or French onion mix. Unjury makes a protein powder cheese sauce that you can make and have over your veggies.

Post op diet and amount
Iowa_summergirl replied to mikemikemike's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my sleeve on Oct 14. Up until about 2 weeks ago (3 months post op), I felt like I couldn't eat more than 3-4 bites of anything and I was full, sliming, throwing up. I feel like I have finally turned the corner and can have a small, but normal meal. I have even dined out a couple of times and been able to order a small entrée or an appetizer, and eat a decent amount of it vs taking it all home in a to-go box. My normal routine: Breakfast: 1/2piece of toast with 1/2 yogurt Lunch: small sandwich, piece of fruit Dinner: usually some sort of meat (palm sized portion) and 1/2 baked potato or about that much In between meals....lots of Water, water, water. -
Sue's whiny post about overprotective doctors.
Doula Lea replied to GeezerSue's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
JLHoogland and Bright, You both have just made me feel SO much better! I am 6 days out from banding and am so ready for mushy food. Bright, I saw that you were having mashed potatoes and tuna salad and I almost wanted to cry! I am STARVING here! I have finally given in and started to have creamed Soups and drinkable yogurts which have made a world of difference, but this clear liquid thing is just such crap! I am salivating thinking about a scrambled egg already! I am slowly going to start trying the mushy foods, but I am concerned that I don't do anything to hurt the band. Thank you for helping to empower me! ~Lea 11/8 Dr. Sanchez 253/249/219 mini goal (less then my hubby) -
March 20th- New to group and New to sharing
tfalk69 replied to deedeedubbs's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
The bike riding only bothers my knee when I try to go up one of the many hills near my house. Not pain as much as I hear it "clicking" and I get off and walk it up I felt really good on the plane, was flying alone with my 8 year-old and just felt happy and capable of keeping up with her. I'm doing pretty well with my protein; I like Think Thin 20 g bars or Premier Protein 30 g shakes for my breakfast then have yogurt for a snack with grilled chicken breast or shrimp for lunch. Some more chicken (deli meat) usually for a snack and cheese or an egg in the afternoon then some other protein for dinner. I usually only have a snack later if I'm low on protein. My daughter recently became a vegetarian so I'm experimenting with meatless options. If you're on Facebook I'm in the group My Bariatric Kitchen - they have recipe ideas and other advice for getting in protein. I use MyFitnessPal to track my protein and have the same username if you want to friend me to see my diary. I've struggled with my water intake but am doing good today - 40 ounces so far. I have a desk job so the steps are harder to come by but hopefully I'll bike tonight. I'm going to try going back to the gym at work and use one of the trainers, just need to start off slow since I'm only at about 1000 calories too. Have fun camping!! Our family doesn't camp (yet) but I'm a Girl Scout leader and took our troop for an overnight in June that involved some hiking and was so happy I could keep up!! Looking forward to more adventures as I become more healthy!! -
Day 2 of liquid pre op diet
HungryMel replied to TexasLady2's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
it probably wont hurt you but the BEST thing you can do is really stick to the pre-op diet and suffer like the rest of us! You will understand why you MUST stick to it after you get banded. I lost 13 lbs on pre-op diet!!! If you can't do the pre-op diet, then you shouldn't get banded. TRUST ME, this part is the easy part, then having the surgery is easy to...its after surgery that is the hard part. FOLLOW THE DIET! sorry, but i have faith you can do it!!!!! I just did it 3 wks ago. with no cheating! SOME TIPS: (if you can have these - i was allowed) sugar free strawberry Jello layered with Sugar free and fat free cheese cake pudding! Freeze your favorite fat free yogurt! (i love dannon light and fit - carmel flavor) Tomato Soup and pea soup SAVED ME! Your Protein drinks - blend them with other flavors, add some fat free/low fat vanilla yogurt - it adds thickness and sweetness to them, EAT EVERY 2-2.5 hrs, IT REALLY HELPS! -
4 months out and FRUSTRATED!!!!!!
KimTriesRNY replied to OhioSparkle's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I can give you a vague menu. For breakfast I usually eat eggs and maybe some chicken sausage. Sometimes one of those prepared mini omelettes. On a rare occasion I have low sugar oatmeal. Calories are usually 250. For dinner I usually eat a meal of chicken, pork, fish, or some type of soup that is high in protein. Calories are usually 250-300. I normally eat snacks of Greek yogurt , certain protein bars, maybe some pistachios, cottage cheese, or lunch meat. I average 800-900 calories a day but I try to eat more on days I’m in the gym or more active. It is tough as I miss some vegetables and need to find more balance of working them in but I just cannot eat a lot. I get about 75 grams of protein and less than 50 grams of carbs a day currently. -
I am a couple days shy of 4 months & around the week of Christmas I noticed that I was starting to feel hungry. Like go drink some more Water & feeling wasn't gone. I am at a little stall this week only down .6 of a pound but I am sure I have gained muscle because clothes are fitting looser then weeks prior. I am sticking well within my calorie allowance & eating acceptable foods for my program. Ie no intentional eating of carbs allowed until the start month 7 obviously some foods like yogurt innately contain carbs but you all get what I mean. I am also getting exercise in daily so just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Happy New Year to everyone????????

Here we are folks day two of recommitment to my weight loss goals ~!~ Sunday was kick off day. I didnt do too bad with food, considering I only had a scrambled egg for Breakfast and some sausage. I drank a lot of Water through the day. The day went so quick I just didnt feel like eatting. I had some issues going on that caused me GREAT stress, and since my band is stress sensative, its prolly for the best that I didnt eat. I guess that was something like the beginning phase of after lapband surgery...I did get some exercise in.. actually it was unintentional but HEY it happened. I was involved with an animal rescue...and I helped two other people spend three hours chasing a cat around... I caught the cat, I felt like Rocky catching the chicken!!!! Day two...I ate a lil more. I had a yogurt for breakfast and some coffee....lunch was salad and a Protein shake. dinner, baked chicken. I gotta admit, I am still hungry.. I know its not time for a fill yet. We will see what the rest of the week is like... Thanks all for your support.

Acid Indigestion
BrightEyes77375 replied to Carlito965's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When you refer to acid indigestion, does it feel like the hard, dull pain you would feel when a pill got stuck in your throat going down? That's what I'm feeling with certain food (anything besides pudding, yogurt, or soup). The pain I'm having isn't a burning sensation, but the type I've just described. Should I try taking something for acid indigestion? -
Need quick advice..banded 4/10/08
sissyjean13 replied to woodbox20's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my band on April 10th also. I had nothing the first day. The 2nd day I started my clear liquids....1 oz every 15 minutes. First day home-42 oz, second day-52 oz. and then 64 ozs every day for one full week. Can have protein shake (unjury is what I use) so I get my protein to help heal. Then week 2 I can add strained cream soups made with skim milk, vegetable juice, sugar free pudding and yogurt. Third week I start pureed foods. Every doctor is different. Good luck! I'm doing good. No pain meds. Got some bloating, but everyone seems to have it. Give it time....I'm going to! -Dawn :-) -

Puree foods any suggestions
Stephanie replied to NOLAgirl-inTN's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
depends on your pickiness. If you have a bullit you can puree almost anything you liked prior to your sleeve. Veggies cooked very well and thinned with some chicken or beef stock is yummy. I particularly liked zucchini that way. Deviled eggs with a little of the unjury powdered chicken broth is really yummy. I didn't not particularly like it made into a broth however but it did make for a really good seasoning for things like deviled eggs and pureed veggies. I added the powder dry to the eggs with a bit of Water to make a paste. It is also good to have some tomato basil Soup, pureed cottage cheese and a little canned fruit pureed into it, Yogurt, go thru some bariatric websites for some great ideas. -
Hi.. I'm 11 weeks post op.. and notice an odd eating habit.. Before being sleeved.. I loved eating food that was cold.. yogurt, milk, cold Soup and salads! I would cool down everything before eating It would hardly take 15 minutes to finish my favorite yogurt serving.. Now! I have one open for over 4 hours.. (14gms of delicious Protein right there!).. but every spoon I try to get in.. feels repulsive. I only want to eat food that is hot or at least warm (my mom would love that!) Has this happened with anyone else????

Discouraged. Slipped band.
needtorecover replied to Lapbandgirl72's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
First thing you have to do is stop the binging. Are you able to take time off work? That may help with doing the liquid diet. If you're able to lay around your house and not have to worry about anything it'll be easier to stick it out. If you want to save your band, I strongly advise you listen to your doctor. Remind yourself that it's just a week. I'm sure it feels good to binge but it's self-destructive behavior. Go to the store, stock up on protein shakes, broths, and yogurt smoothies and tough it out for 7 days. Then move on to mushies, and then try to eat your lap band diet the next week, and then see your doctor. Otherwise you're just going to go back to the way you were before. It's unfortunate for us but once you're obese your body will do whatever it takes to get that fat back. It's not a matter of pure willpower. That's why we needed help in the first place. But you can do 7 days. That's all it is. Just a week. Take it day by day and you'll get through it. -
I feel like I can hold too much..
Mjohnson4631 posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Apart from a couple shakes I usually have a small 6oz cup of cottage cheese and fruit, or a cup of yogurt, or I can even hold a whole egg and slice of cheese.. I'm 3 wks out from surgery. I see people a year out that only hold a few bites.. It makes me concerned about my intake.. I'm not overly full either. Suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Bored With The Same Food...
Threetimesacharm replied to sleeve_sister's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Why can't you have yogurt or cheese, these are both soft foods. Try putting your meats in the crock pot and cooking: ground chicken, turkey, chicken thighs. Cottage cheese, morningstar farms foods, Boca meatless burgers, fish(all kinds). -
Need some mushie ideas....please
StaceyM replied to mama59's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is the list of foods my dietician gave me that I can eat during my "mushy phase". It includes ALL foods that I'm allowed to eat, not just mushies. Scrambled egg Low-fat cheese Creamy Peanut Butter Blended fruit (phase 1 and 2 baby food) Mashed potatoes Light yogurt Skim milk Cream of vegetable soup (ie: cream of potato, cream of broccoli, etc...) No sugar added Carnation Instant Breakfast (I've found this the best thing to add unjury to) vanilla yogurt made with Splenda sugar free pudding Sugar free Jello Sugar free popsicles -
Sounds like you have pretty good restriction already! That's great! Or your stomach can be a bit swollen from the fill. Maybe try liquids, yogurt or pudding for a day and then try again. Eggs should be a food that go down fairly well. Try to wait a minute or two between bites and see if that helps. Sometimes it's not just small bites and chewing well but giving your stomach a little time for it to register. I doubt if 1 egg was too much, you should be fine with that.
