FluffyChix replied to ms.sss's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Happy Monday everyone!!! @ms.sss Sunday menu sounds great! Congrats on partying and having fun on 1300 cals girl!!! WooT! Way to get your totals up!! @AZhiker Good to know about the probiotic root veg! I sometimes do turnips and rutabagas mixed with cauliflower roasted and smashed. Good stuff - perfect fall food! I stay away from soy and am trying to do yogurt a few times a week. But I hate that it really ups my carbs. So it's a balance. @Stella S Your menu also sounds great!! I love peaches. They do not love me. 14g. 14g!! -

2 weeks after sleeve need advice
Sandra Nuelken replied to Jdymitc's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm not sure how much I can help as I've only a week out of my surgery 7/30. This is what I've found out, sometimes things taste bad because your body is going through Ketosis, burning fat, and that will give you a funny taste in your mouth making things taste different or bad. It will also change your breath so brushing or sugar-free mints will help. I take my protein Ensure Max a 1/3 container at a time. It is a couple of sips and put it on ice so the ice melts and thins it. If Yogurt fills you that is fine just make it a good one. I haven't slept more than 4 hours since the surgery and the dreams are so vivid. I'm lucky as I am retired so I can fit in a short nap. The "meal plans" that doctors give out are nice but not necessarily what you will be eating. Just make sure you have a lot of protein, keeps up energy, and fluids. I drink caffeine-free ice tea all day. Just sips at a time. When I had my lap band on I was on a protein drink in the am. Campbells Soup on the Go for lunch and protein drink for dinner for almost a year. I'd add a small cottage cheese for a snack. You seem to be doing alright just watch your protein and water. I'm glad I'm not the only one that is sleeping less. -
Did the powerade have sugar? What happened at Target sounds awful! I'm sorry. [emoji31] It does get better once you can eat yogurt and things of that thickness. Try and distract yourself, I guess, and hang in there! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Ok, so this is getting so weird!!! Sorry for your struggles! ((hugs)) I "think" I know EXACTLY what you are describing. I'm now seeing 2 people with this same thing that it felt like I had! I just had surgery about 3 weeks ago for a sudden internal hernia and twisted small intestine. They had to go in and physically touch and inspect every inch of my bowel before putting it back into my "gut sac". And the bowel doesn't like that. It causes it to "shut down" or go to sleep. And it caused what was termed an "incomplete ileus" which is kinda synonymous with a partial bowel obstruction. My symptoms (that were seen on CT scan and dx'd as a partial ileus/bowel obstruction) were kinda like yours. Everything that went down my piehole caused TERRIBLE nightmare cramping, pressure in my esophagus, shoulder pain, and Big D with terrible odor!! My tummy gurgled and boiled like "look out Big D is headin down the tracks". But it wouldn't necessarily cause me to go immediately. But when it came, it was sudden, and prolific and could happen 10-12 times per day. So I started treating it with raw sauerkraut juice (you should ask your doc if you can have that cuz it's acidic), kefir, yogurt with live cultures, and probiotic pills (you can sprinkle them in smoothies). And then follow your diet progression. Now after 3 weeks, my intestines are finally getting back to normal! Woooh! Big relief. No more pain, no more cramps, no more huge Big D's. I do take a 40mg of ppi that I empty from the capsule onto a spoon of unsweetened granny smith applesauce. And I avoid any kind of drug that slows down the intestines. Hope that helps you!!!

Weighing food (how do you measure yours?) cup or scale
Briswife15 replied to Carolina Rose's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Hi, there! When I'm measuring out things like cheese or deli turkey, I use a scale and weigh it. When measuring softer things like yogurt, ricotta, refried beans, I use a measuring cup. Some folks use a measuring cup and put all their food in that so they're not going over a certain volume, like 1/2 cup or something. I'm sure other folks will chime in with some good advice!

I'm trying to stick to 3 meals a day, but it is hard. I can't eat a lot in one sitting. So, I'm eating 3 protein items and if I snack it is fruit or vegetables. I'm still trying to figure it all out. I eat yogurt and 1 T of pumpkin seeds and 1/3 cup granola. I eat this everyday. Lunch: chicken salad, tuna salad or snack tray of protein Dinner: steak most of the time, sometimes chicken. Broccoli last night Snacks might be a few cherries and 1oz cheese I also, buy vegetable trays and eat cauliflower or broccoli. I also eat a pickle here or there. My challenges are making better choices. I like Starbucks and I need to stay away. I choose the lower calorie drinks if I do get one.

I need some meal ideas. I am stuck and need to break my stall I have fallen back into some old habits but trying to get back. I know eating bread has not helped me. A friend of mine said she cant eat bread but not this girl- my new tummy doesn't seem to mind. One good thing is if I have too much sugar I get sick so that makes me not eat a lot. I am looking for some ideas. I love yogurt and I tend to eat that often for breakfast. I got burnt out on eggs a long time ago. I need to cut my carbs down. Anyone tried intermittent fasting? I am wondering if that would help break this stall. Stephanie

Food Before and After Photos
ms.sss replied to GreenTealael's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Too lazy to get a bowl (and wash it after), so just dumped the fixin's in the yogurt container and ate out of it First meal of the day: 3/4 cup icelandic yogurt + 1 fl oz pumpkin seeds + 1 fl oz red skin peanuts + 20 blueberries The entire thing is 322 calories. Ate about 2/3 of it, will likely eat the rest in a couple hours... -

@GreenTealael This is for you snookums! I was gonna do an egg puff, but my inner Tea said, "No, no, no! Matcha yogurt please!" The rest is history. There were no survivors. (oh and this is an old pic. LOL...lazy much?) -
Mine was 7/22...I am about to be in the puree stage Sunday....I didn't enjoy the soup stage! I could have yogurt (plain greek)...I did go get the PB2 and add in trevia and I could eat it! That helped a lot! Congrats on your loss...

2 weeks after sleeve need advice
FluffyChix replied to Jdymitc's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Try cutting the protein with things like: Fat Free Fairlife Milk (13g protein per cup) Fat Free Greek Yogurt (6g protein per 2oz of HEB FF Plain Greek Yogurt) Fat Free Kefir Plain (3g protein per 2oz of Lifeway Low Fat Plain Kefir) Make Protein Cream Soup (This makes 4, 4oz servings of soup with almost 11g of protein per 4oz serving.) Add protein powder to everything! -
2 weeks after sleeve need advice
KCgirl061 replied to Jdymitc's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You aren't going to be hungry for a while. Revel in it, and take this time while you're not hungry to transform your previous eating habits into healthier ones. You're fueling your body right now, so fuel it right. Purchase a unflavored protein powder and add it to your yogurt to boost your protein intake. -
I was sleeved on 7/15. I am having difficulty getting my protein in as I hate the taste of most shakes that I’ve tried. On my surgeons plan I on purées but am not hungry. I can eat like a Greek yogurt for lunch and maybe a bite or two later for dinner. I am doing okay with my water everyday. Now I am having problems sleeping I get like 4-5 hours a night. I am trying to get enough steps in every day. Anyone have any suggestions on things I can do better (I have an appointment with my team Friday and plan to discuss all this with them but am hoping for some help in the meantime)
-
Also, salsa and pico makes great dressing, as does a spoon of plain Greek yogurt with seasonings and a little vinegar.

I remember REALLY reading a yogurt container post op and screaming in walmart "Cmon man its just bloody yogurt, why in hell is there so much sugar in it?!?!?" Everyone stopped and looked at me ... Unwavering, I stared back 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Good Luck, youve got this 💜
-
Wow, now I see what you're speaking about. I was getting Walmart Greek Vanilla Yogurt, what a huge mistake that was. I would have a half-cup every night and whenever I had a sweet tooth. This evening, I read the nutritional value and I was taking in 16g of sugar and 26 grams of carbs! WHAT!? Tomorrow, my meals and snacks will be completely different. The fruit was 10g and my oatmeal was 26g, the rest of the day I was in the single digits for carbs. :( I'm going to make major changes.
-
Thanks! For full liquids I was allowed protein shakes, yogurt drinks, thin creamed soups, and sugar free hot chocolate. Tomorrow I start full liquids, so pudding, pureed soup, cottage cheese, and greek yogurt. Sent from my SM-J737A using BariatricPal mobile app

You estimated that you eat over 100g carbs daily... But this sounds like an oddly high amount of carbs for just yogurt/tuna/beans/citrus. What kind of yogurt, salad dressings and sauces are you eating in addition? Ex. Chobani blueberry vs Chobani plain yogurt You may need to incorporate less of the carb dense foods (beans are carb heavy, but fiber heavy too) with salads like with 1/4 cup of beans instead of just1 cup of beans
-
Sigh. Yeah I'd be hungry too with that carb load. Wish it wasn't true but it is. The answer really is to eat the stuff that fills up your pouch. chicken and veg. I can handle a bite or two of beans. I can handle 2oz of Grk yogurt plain + 1oz of dark berries (no nectarines/peaches)...and can mix in an ounce of lf cultured cottage cheese to up the quantity. Any more than that and I will be starving and or RH within 2 hours. So I just flat force myself to eat lean protein dry and plain and steamed or nuked veg with a tiny bit of olive oil and sometimes a little avo/tomato at night...it's pretty plain but I have gotten to where I crave that plain-ness. You know? Especially if it keeps me satisfied (usually).

I can tell my pouch is still working, I still can't eat a full chicken breast w/ veggies. I'm done after just the chicken. My issue is or at least, what has become an issue is.....I'm just damn hungry. Today, I had Greek Yogurt w/ my lunch (Tuna) and a bit less than a half of cup of yogurt, that alone killed my carb intake for the day. I'm sure I'll hit almost a hundred after dinner (black beans, less than a cup) and another yogurt cup 😕 Oh, and a small nectarine.

Breaking a Stall
Stephanie0614 replied to Stephanie0614's topic in Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty Forum
My taste buds have changed that's for sure. I was never a big fan of yogurt and now I love it and could eat it several times a day. I have experienced "dumping" and it is not fun. I know I need to cut out bread. two girls I know who gastric sleeve cant eat bread but not this girl. It doesn't seem to bother my new stomach :-( I cant eat too much sugar, it will make me nauseous which before I was a huge sugar addict. I just need to get off my lazy butt. I want at least another 10-15 off before the big 50 birthday in October.
