I had a GREAT workout last night, my DH & I went to the gym and I worked my upper body out. I worked it so hard, I felt like mush when I left. But it sure felt good to be back in the gym workout out like i used to do! I'm excited to be back in the program! I can't wait for 1 month from now, because I know if I am consistant, the results will start showing. Menu today Bfast 1/2 cup skim milk, grapenuts cereal (about 1/2 cup) Snack yogurt Lunch tomatoe soup (this is the last of my container, thank gawd, getting tired of it, but it is good) snack - handful of nuts Dinner 1/2 cup of beans & ham - yum Exercise 10:00 am - 15 min on elliptical 2:30 pm - 22 min of HIIT - burned 181 calories, and 1.71 distance Gym - my plan is go tonight and work my lower body - the abs are screaming for crunches!

@@bubbles2015 Hi there Bubbles! I am 4 weeks out also. I noticed that you said that it takes you 40 minutes to finish your egg. I can't eat a whole scrambled egg (w/cheese) yet. I can feel full after just over half. My nutritionist told me to stop eating after 20 minutes. I eat about 1/4 cup of food each meal. I can eat a little more yogurt. Anyway, eating over a period of 40 minutes cuts down on your Fluid intake time. Maybe ask your Nut about the 40 minute meals?

It really depends on your surgeon. Mine differentiates full liquids from clear liquids in that you can drink the "milky" protein shakes, keifer, skim milk, 8 oz of 50 percent diluted juice per day, etc. My surgeon does not allow pudding or yogurt at this stage, although some doctors do. We were also allowed pureed and strained soups. Can you get a handout or diet from your surgeon or nutritionist since it varies so much from doctor to doctor?

My surgeon doesn't allow yogurt, pudding, or thinned cream of wheat until the puree stage (not full liquids)...it is so true that all surgeons are different.

Today makes day 4 that I have exercised. Yay. I woke up at 5 am and finally made it the gym. I know that I won't tonight so I did get up this morning. Now I don't have to worry about it because I have my exercise in for the day. I'm so happy I did it. My eating has been GREAT since Monday. So far, no slips, except 1 peanut butter cookie that I ate over a two day period. Wt was up this morning, but I know thats what I usually do when I first get to the gym, so I'm not worried about it. I feel skinnier, I feel better and thats what counts. This morning, did the elliptical for 30 min, 20 min of HIIT. I will also go down at 10 and don another 15 min on elliptical and probably at 3 will walk a mile. Thursday I plan on going to the gym in the am, and also in the pm. I need to do my lower body workout Thursday. Well, off to work I go............... Menu today Bfast Low Carb yogurt with low fat granola Went to wally world to get some deli meat, was very hungry ended up eating a slice of the hickory ham and a slice of the mild chedder cheese as I was waiting for the lady to finish slicing my turkey. Lunch 3 0z of talapia with some grilled squash and mushrooms. Dinner Exercise 5 am - 30 min on eliptical (20 min of HIIT) 10:00 AM - 15 min on eliptical 3:00 pm - 30 min brisk walk in my office spine wt - 170.8 - grrrrrrrrr - I DO NOT want to see the 170's again! I know I have not gained, my clothes feel lose on me, so I'm not going to worry about it!

Starting "soft foods"
rachel0887 replied to tle5000's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
pudding, yogurt, cottage cheese that's pretty much all i ate -
I am with James on this one, you may be advancing sooner than your tummy will allow. I struggled terribly on pureed stage. I would gag and puke and I (now) I believe it was more of an aversion to pureed meats, eggs and fish. I still 22 months later have an aversion to eggs because of the pureed stage. I would still with Soups, cottage cheese, applesauce, cream of wheat, Protein shakes. Anything that will slip down vs. have to swallow. For me it took some time before my pouch even appreciated meats of any kind. I could eat fish fairly easily but even shrink was difficult. By 8 weeks post op, most if not all my swelling was down and then I was able to start eating ground beef, ground chicken, soft juicy chicken breast in a mushroom gravy, thinks like that.....another month down the road it got easier and easier. But my suggestion would be to go back to creamy Proteins like cottage cheese, yogurt, refried Beans, unsweetened applesauce, and definately protein shakes at this stage. Premier Protein for me were the best because they had a whopping 30 grams of protein and only 1 gram of sugar. I had to actually add lactose free milk to them in the beginning so it would take me almost a whole day to drink 1 shake. Best of luck to you and I promise it really does get better, if for some reason you can't get even softer foods down like I suggested then there is more going on and you might have a stricture. I would check with your doctor if that becomes a problem. Your tummy just needs a little longer to heal and honestly it will be better for you in the long run.

3+ month post op and eating in the morning
fourmonthspreop posted a topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Hey! I was curious if anyone is experiencing this or has experienced this in the past. I'm a little over 3 months post op and as I transition more into regular eating, I find that I CANNOT eat in the mornings to early afternoon. Like my body can't physically handle food until around 2pm. If I eat something before then it gets "stuck" or I get the slimeee and need to puke. Doesn't matter what it is, I try eggs, protein yogurt, beans, cheese, veggies, fruit, all of it gets stuck and I get nauseous for an hour or so. This has been a recent development...maybe the past month this has started. It's not a stricture because past 2 I have no issues regardless of what the food is and don't feel my restriction at night but I do get nauseous if I overdo it. So far I just drink a protein shake in the morning or just a coffee or water and then two meals past 2pm to get my calories and protein in. Idk it's so weird. Wondering why the restriction is so extreme in the morning. Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app -

Mad at nutritionist or myself???
happy2lose replied to TracyNYC's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
solid food will keep hunger at bay longer. Start off with tiny bites of chicken, non-fat Greek yogurt, tuna, eggs (if you can tolerate) cottage cheese. You just need to find solid Protein that you can enjoy. -
Crushing of Pills YUK!
Postop replied to kappy1418's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The first few weeks after surgery we crushed them & put them in unsweetened applesauce. We also tried plain yogurt. -
I am more hungry now than before my fill. What is going on?
bar2373 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 54 days out from surgery. I have lost 28 lbs since surgery. I went in for a check up on the 5th of this month. I received a 1/2 cc fill for the first time at that appointment and now I am more hugry, sooner, than I ever was before. Was getting the fill a mistake or is this normal? My doctor wanted me to eat more solid foods, he said I was still eating a lot of what he considred soft foods (i.e yougurt). I normally have yogurt for breakfast just out of convenience and time. I have since changed to having two eggs in the morning around 7-8 am and I am starving by 11-12. I try to eat fish or something high in protein and a vegtable for lunch and I am starving again by 3 in the afternoon. I will eat dinner between 4-5 in the evening and have again, something high in protein like chicken or fish again and a vegtable and I am again very hungry before bed. I measure my food and weigh it carefully but it just doesn't seem to be enough to last me. What should I do? The doctor doesn't want me to supplement with protein shakes. Which I though was a great idea to boost my protein intake and keep me satisfied. With the 3 meals I eat a day I am not always getting a full supply of the protein that they want me to get to. I am so confused and hungry! I need help! -
I wouldnt call me a "fast food" junkie since I'd really very very rarely choose to eat McDonalds but the eat on the go thing - disorganisation and not having appropriate food to hand is my biggest downfall, and it affects what I feed the kids too. So many mornings there's nothing for them to take for their playlunch at school and we have to stop at the Quix for junkfood, costs a fortune, is terrible for them. I have to be REALLY strict with myself and MAKE myself go to the supermarket, even its midnight so that I am not doing that last minute thing. Can you keep a cooler in your car so you can take fruit, yogurt or a sandwich, a Protein bar, cans of tuna, whatever it takes. And just put the freezer blocks in your freezer to keep it cold. I have some great containers that have an ice ring that you freeze and a separate part to hold the salad dressing till you need it, one that's compartmentalised for dip, vege sticks and crackers that also has an ice ring, even a shake container that holds Water and powder separately till you're ready to mix. There really is no need to be eating crap if you can just force yourself to make the effort to be organised. Its not that I give in willpower wise and eat crap, in fact these days I'd simply not eat instead, what I find way way harder is actually being organised.

I read a few threads where people were worried about cravings for sweets. So I was thinking, "hey I was a total carb addict, why don't I want sweets...?" ITS BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS SWEET. Let me explain: For two weeks pre-op and two weeks post-op, you drink fluids and try to get Protein in but it's almost all liquid. So you drink Protein shakes, which are sweet. You get Protein powder, which is sweet and made with sweet flavors, and you mix it into milk. You drink your decaf coffee sweet, and as you slide into ketosis, even veggies start to taste sweet. Don't like Water plain? Well here's an exhaustive list of sweet flavors you can add. Oh, and Greek yogurt is sweet too!! Everything is sweet, made for people who have an uncontrollable sweet tooth and still want to be healthy..... But.... I JUST WANT SOMETHING SAVORY AND SALTY PLEASE. Oh sure, I can sip chicken broth. It's not very fulfilling. Now that I'm eating soft foods, I absolutely adore some pulled pork, or some good rich chicken Soup. Do I want a Protein shake? F* no. I don't want dessert, I don't want any f*ing Jello, I want something that tastes like food. I am so sick of sweet things. A surgery-buddy called me today to ask about the self-pay stuff for a friend of hers, and I was like "do you still like chocolate?" She said, "oh hell no. I am so freaking sick of chocolate flavored everything. I want a steak!! With SALT!" Anyone else wanna chime in on this? Now I HAVE heard there's savory-flavor protein powder out there, and I haven't tried it yet, but I plan to.... But is anyone else sick to death of "SWEET" for this reason?

Sudden and excruciating pain 3 weeks out
byjenna posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery 3 weeks ago. It's been rough. Not able to eat anything but jello, popsicles and the occasional bit of yogurt. Protein is tough too but I am trying. I've lost 47 pounds (surgery weight was 264) which seems fast. I'm taking all of my vitamins and actually went back to work on Monday. I worked at my desk, took it slow, no big flights of stairs on both Monday and Tuesday. I even left a bit early. Tuesday night I began having excruciating pain in my upper right side. I couldn't sleep and getting up was near impossible. The pain moved into my legs for a few hours as well which was very scary. Weird thing is that I could have sworn on Tuesday at my desk I felt a popping in that same area, almost like a snap or an electric shock. I stayed home today but the pain is even worse. No fever. No vomiting. I don't want to be a wuss but it seems odd that 3 weeks out I would develop the worst pain yet. Am I overreacting? Any recommendations? -
I get mine for $3 a bottle at a restaurant supply company. I put them in Plain Non fat Greek yogurt. I love coconut. I also put it in protein shakes. I love both mint and coconut in the chocolate. In my orange cream protein shake, I also add more orange flavoring..

Ended up staying a bit longer at the hospital because of pain but I'm home now. Having a rough time getting in and out of bed or getting comfortable. Gas has been kind of a pain but all manageable. I'm really surprised at how normal I mostly feel. Other than the gas pain and incision pain I feel like myself. Was able to get down part of a protein shake and a light and fit yogurt smoothie as well as most of my water. Just got to remember to take small sips lol otherwise it doesn't feel great.

Question For Veterans :)
Forensikchic replied to sabrina140's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 7 months out and I cant eat as much at the other people have said. For breakfast I usually eat 4 cracker cut peices of cheese with two ritz crackers or the crackers with 1 tbsp of Peanut Butter. I cant hold more than that. I cannot eat 4 oz of yogurt.. I can eat almost all of it but if i try to force the rest it hurts my tummy. For lunch I can eat 2 turkey meatballs or 2 oz of chicken or somthing like that. I can eat 3 or 4 shrimp if they are small, not salad type small but not large either. I cant hold the Protein plus a carb. There is just no way. For dinner I can hold a few ounces of steak, not more than two and a bite or two of green Beans or something like that. If I concentrate on eating very slowly, like while I am doing college homework, i can eat more without getting that stuffed feeling. I ate 3 oz of chicken fajita meat the other night but it took me an hour! I usually get between 600 and 800 calories a day. I try for 70 grams of protein and not more than 70 of carbs a day. They call it the 70/70 rule. I dont always get that. I have had to subsititute a Protein Drink in the morning to reach these goals. I mix unflavored with one cup of fresh oj. It works well for me even though its a little high in carbs. I do it on the way to work and then I eat my cheese or peanut butter crackers at my desk around 9. I walk at lunch so I need some carbs to burn off. I hope this helps... -
Question For Veterans :)
Bedhead replied to sabrina140's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 6 weeks out and for breakfast and lunch today I'm eating 1/2c of egg beaters with 2 slices of fresh cheddar. It will take me around 3 hours of picking to get it all down. For dinner I'll probably have 2 baked chicken tenderloin strips. Snacks- 2oz cottage cheese, 4oz yogurt, etc. -
Hey everyone, I got banded April 12 and lately I've been feeling really hungry. Is it normal for water or fluids to go through with ease? I read all these threads about it being tough and others having their band slipped but no symptoms so I'm just wondering. Also I had 1 yogurt about 2 days ago and it went with ease. I haven't had anymore since then cause I read about the complications when skipping the diet rules. Any advice? I'm getting paranoid and I can't keep going to Mexico to reach my surgeon for little things I feel. ???£ Also did anyone get infections on their bottom incisions? Mine got infected and I'm in antibiotics for it to get better but it's taking super long (another paranoia)

Sorry for the copy/paste. I don't prepare dishes as it's just me. Kids are out of the house so not feeding a family. I do 6 mini meals a day. Some stand bys for me are hot choc /decaf (15g) . 2 light mozzarella string cheese (12g). Chobani Lemon Greek Yogurt (15g). Boars Head Ever-roast deli Chicken 2 oz (13g). Al Fresco chicken sausage (14g). Morningstar Spicy Black Bean Burger (11g).1 pouch tuna/1/2 c 1% cottage cheese (31g). Gortons Simply Bake Tilapia (20g). Unjury protein powder 1 scoop/8 oz skim milk (29g) and sometimes I add 2 T of PB2 which brings it to 34g. Each one of these standbys is 1 mini meal for me. I don't have room for anything after eating it. Don't eat them all on the same day but keep my cals under 900 for the day. I shoot for 90g a day. Sorry for the run on paragraph. My enter key is not working ONLY on this website. Have contacted Alex/Tech but no solution yet.

A little about me: lapband 2007 and really had no issues but couldn't eat alot of healthy foods, meats, some veggies, yogurt, eggs. I did lose weight but resorted to slider foods as easier to eat as you know you get tired of one day could eat chicken the next day you couldn't. Anyway I knew the lapband was not forever, at some point I would have to have it removed and like you did not want to gain weight back. So on LBT I found out about VST in July and the rest is history. I had my revision in Sept 10th and I could not be happier! Because I had learned rules with the lapband it has been an easy road so to speak: eating small bites, small amounts, small plates, no drinking and eating, waiting to drink after meals did all of this for 5 years. I have had no issues, no vomiting, no food intolerances so far. I have lost 43 pounds to date and can't be more thrilled!! Would I do it again, absolutely!!

Hey everyone, I'm a newbie here. Just had my sleeve done on March 23rd! A little over a month past my 45th birthday - yay me! As much as I psyched myself out about the whole thing, recoup time, etc, I have to say it was a relatively easy recovery and just a tad over two weeks out, physically I feel great. Emotionally...? Feeling a bit discouraged. So like everyone else, I did my 5 day pre-op liquid diet...lost 5 lbs. On surgery day I was 300 and about a week and a half after surgery weighed 282. While I am very happy with that, as soon as I started re-introducing solid food - cottage cheese, baked fish, yogurt, etc (solid but soft foods) my weight ceased! The scale has not budged in 5 days and after weighing myself today I am UP 2 POUNDS. Huh??? I have followed what I should be eating/how much I should be eating, to the T. I've been exercising, getting my Water, etc. I should mention that I was self pay ((ouch)) so you can bet your buns I will do absolutely nothing to go off track and mess this up! I have too much invested. Literally. I put my scale away and will not weigh myself again for at least a week or two if I can hold off that long. I've read about people losing so much in the first month or two and after two weeks I'm already hitting a stall? I'm trying not to let it get me down, but it really has taken the wind out of my sails. I'm wondering now why I did this, and if I will be the statistic ....the small percentage of people that it won't be successful for! Ugh. =( Has anybody else encountered this so early after surgery? Thoughts on why this happens, and if you have experienced it - is there a light at the end of the tunnel? Thank you in advance for your feedback!! Have a great day everyone.

Oh y’all. It’s been a little bit since I’m been on this forum. I’m struggling with any weight loss. It’s like I’ve hit a wall for the last 3 months. This is my stats. SD 4/26/22 / SW 216 / CW 175 / GW 130 / age 50 My team has me under 700 cal and less than 20 carbs a day. I use to basically eat yogurt for almost every meal 🤷🏼♀️. But my team say I wasn’t getting enough protein and my body was probably bored and that was causing my slow down in weight. So they had me to mix things up. So I started eating more protein (meats, chicken etc) well then I started started gaining 😡. My last weight in back in January was 173. I gained up to 180 when adding back food. Now I’m down to 175 but I can’t get the scale to move. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong 😑. My hair is still falling out and I’m definitely getting my protein and my vitamin levels are good. I just don’t feel like my team believes me when I tell them I’m not going over calories or carbs. I’m just beyond frustrated at this point.
