Okay - enough of my self sabotage, its time to kick it up and get the body I've always wanted. I'm so pumped. My knee still burns and I have not been able to climb a step yet, but I am ready to hit the gym! I will just have to modify my exercises. Its time to adopts the NO MORE EXCUSES rule. I cannot and will not be making any more excuses. I have this wonderful tool inside me (also known as "the band") and it is time to use it and quit eating around it! I'm starting a 2008 12 week exercise challenge, begins 1/7/08. I'm so excited to get back into the exercise. I can't wait for my fill on 1/18. I need it so bad! I need to measure tonight and I'm going to start planning my meals better. Today Bfast 4 slices of bacon (70 calories for 2 slices - very small & thin) coffee with cream Lunch 1 cup of lettuce 2 oz of chicken on top 1 oz of cheese a few sunflower seeds balsamic/olive oil dressing snack LC SF yogurt a handfull of granola dinner - Water - suppliments - quickslim30, flinstones

I threw away the lean pocket after two bites...it made me hurt in the are of my mid back..and it was not tasting good...my taste has changed and I am not sure anyoone else has experienced this... I am now trying to get a yogurt down... I am 6 weeks post op and yes I am suppose to be able to eat regular food. Thanks -
Have you tried granola in yogurt? I have it all the time, Iove it. Also oatmeal and cream of wheat are good suggestions. You can do a boiled egg .I know some people eat rice for breakfast, they eat it with sugar and milk. There are also all kinds of healthy cereals out there to chose from. I also eat cottage cheese with fruit like peaches,strawberries, and pineapple, that is good too. ~~~Stephanie.

B-Protein Shake S-Yogurt & Laughing Cow Cheese L- Chicken Breast with FF Italian dressing and Green beans D- ?? not sure yet since I'm going out to dinner for a friends bday -
hi, I have been getting used to Protein shakes for two meals and eating one meal a day. I am trying to transition slowly to the pre-surgery liquid diet. I have been using one cup of a frozen fruit mix with pineapple, mango peach and strawberries with a cup of low cal cranberry sauce and Protein powder. I also eat a banana and one Greek yogurt for a mid-morning & mid afternoon snack. Dinners are low fat and moderate portion. My question is, I have been getting the worst acid stomach in the evenings! I do not have an ulcer, and no history of heartburn or stomach acid. I thought maybe it could be the pineapple in the fruit mix? But there are only a few little bites in the cup if fruit. Has anyone else had this experience?

Nikki, Hey I am doing pretty good. First day back to work was pretty hard. I sit at a desk so it was pretty hard to sit straight up all day, but other than that I am doing good. I am down 20 pounds since I started my preop on the 27th of Oct. I am pretty excited about that. I will start creamys on Sunday with liquid yogurt. Good luck and keep in touch, Carrie -

Hey everyone... You know I am so shocked to hear some of the responses of what everyone is doing post op. I know every doctor is different. I was banded at the OCC by Dr. Martinez which is under Dr. Ortiz. We cannot have ANY food for 21 days. No Protein for 11 Days. The first 7 days is Clear Liquids, Day 8 you add 1/2 cup of Liquid yogurt and Day 11 you start cream Soups and Protein 1/2 cup at a time. No Solid foods until 21 days out. If you cant drink it you cant have it, so to speak. I am on day 8 and I am having to make myself drink liquids, I feel sooo full. I did drink my first 1/2 cup of liquid yogurt today and it was VERY good. It makes me wonder why every doctor is different. All I know is that my doctor says you have to have time for your stomach to heal. The thought of eating and drinking something really thick scares me to death. I am so scared I am going to slip my band or hurt myself. I know everyone is different. As far as drinking the Liquid Protein right after surgery, oh my, I could not do it. I have trouble getting 16 oz of clear fluids down a day as it is now. I think the only advice I can give is listen to your body. If you are feeling full, maybe you are full. I would not push it right out of surgery. Again good luck and I would love to know what everyone else thinks. -
Sounds better ! Personally I would ask for liquid Antibiotic, but that's up to you! If it's going down, and your fine with that....... That's your business. I would stay on Liquids for a few days, because your still hurting. Popsicles, yogurt, sugar free pudding, Etc... Even try small spoons of cottage cheese, maybe tomorrow. Just thinking about the throat hurting, a little cold might help that. Just don't chill your stomach. The Pepcid is chewable, so if you need it in the future ! Shirley.

Queen - You're such a sweetie. Thank you. It's great to see your posts again. Rhapsody. you too. Welcome back. I've missed all of you guys. This place is the one place I know everyone really understands what I'm going through right now. Addjoy - I can send you a few days of my meals but they aren't perfect. They are working well for me right now though. Seems if I stay between 1000-1100 and keep it pretty balanced between Protein, carbs and fats I do well. I am really trying to eat healthy and the carbs and fats are mostly from healthy sources. Though I do admit to splurging on a dessert every day. I can't seem to break my ice cream habit. I keep it a small amount and try to make sure I balance the calories out. If I've been bad it has to be a low cal skinny cow kind of thing. If I've been really low on calories it's Tiramisu - mmmmmm. Check out the Clean eating threads here or Clean Eating Magazine and Eat Clean Diet stuff. I love that magazine so much I should get paid for advertising it - lmao. Basics of my diet - Breakfast - 4oz lite yogurt or Fage Total 0% with a few berries -during the week I also have a large sf vanilla iced coffee from McDonalds Snack - 1/2 to 1 cup fruit or 2 tablespoons of hummus with about 5 soy crisps or mini rice cakes lunch - pouch of tuna or some of the meat left over from dinner and some kind of veggie thing Might snack of a few pieces of dried veggies or fruit, soy chips or something like that during the afternoon if I'm hungry Dinner is usually meat, veggies and good starch but in much smaller portion size than the rest of the family. Dessert later on. Keep in mind this isn't what my nutritionist recommends or the program from my doctor's office but my doctor is good with it since I'm doing well and it's healthy. Only part he wants me to get rid of is the dessert and wants no food after dinner. We'll see.

So, does using a smoothie count as liquids? I use one scoop of powder, 8 oz of skim milk, one cup of ice and a few table spoons of greek yogurt. How should I tabulate the liquids for this, I am always under and hoping using smoothie will help.

I had my sixth fill yesterday. It was hard earned...the doc always has a hard time finding my port and he had to poke me quite a bit to find it. Just when he was going to give up, he got it. He gave me .25cc's and then I drank the barrium...I love seeing on the tv what it feels like in my stomach. We both thought it looked good..but just for good measure I always drink some water. So, the water gurgled down nicely and I am so happy. This morning I had three bites of yogurt and I was full. It's such a great feeling. I ate a small piece of banana bread for a mid morning snack and that went down just fine...I feel like I just ate the whole loaf...that's why restriction is so awesome. Let's hope this restriction level stays for awhile and I don't need to get poked (with a needle, anyway..hee hee)again for a long time. The doc did say that he should move my port so it's not so hard to get to. Has anyone else gone through the surgery? Can you tell me your experience? Megan

You say cold yogurt goes down easily - have you tried cold water? Just a thought.

600-800 calories...easy or hard?
lsereno replied to meggspeggs's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree with Tiffykins on the eating plan. Although I do eat a few carbs, if I feel hungry between meals, I eat Protein. I eat low fat version of things like cheese sticks, lunchmeat, and salami and no-fat greek yogurt to get more in with less calories. Also I use Splenda instead of sugar. If you are still losing well even though you get a few more calories in, maybe you are just so active at work that you need a few more calories? i haven't had the hunger issue, but I have seen others saying that upping or changing their PPI helped.

Yes, but since I won't eat sugar free pudding or yogurt, it is pretty much strained cream of chicken soup with unflavored protein powder, along with water, a protein shake in the morning and some sugar free jello sometimes.

Almost 1 year and im not where i should be
Inner Surfer Girl replied to Aribay1's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
To measure food, start with reading labels. If you are eating anything packaged the serving size/amount is on the label. You can use measuring cups, spoons, and a food scale to measure everything else. Ex. One single-serve container of yogurt just read the label. One serving out of a tub of yogurt you can use a measuring cup or measuring spoons. An app like MyFitnessPal is great because you can look up all kinds of foods (restaurant meals, name breads, and even homemade foods). You can also add your own if you have your own recipes, etc. Protein is so critical. Even if you don't focus on other things, at least making sure you count your protein so you get enough will be a big help for you. My protein goal is 100 grams a day. If I didn't track it in MyFitnessPal, I would never be able to keep up with how much I had and how much I still needed. My memory isn't that good. -
Cottage cheese or greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is often made from milk that has been enriched by boiling off some of its Water content, or by adding extra butterfat and powered milk, It contains a higher Protein density than regular yogurt, which is largely casein protein. Cottage cheese does, too. You can find more about health benefits of cottage cheese at https://wikihomenutrition.com/cottage-cheese-health-benefits/

I think that's a good idea. The first few days I didn't want anything. But now I'm doing better getting some calories in and Protein. I am just trying to continually sip throughout the day. That chocolate smoothie sounds great. Wow... What kind of frozen yogurt? Chocolate? Any special brand? What brand did you use? And what whey protein has 52grams a scoop? Mine (unjury) is 40 g per scoop and I thought that was good! I am def. going to make that when I get to my 2nd stage. I can't have milk yet. Just clears. Wow a chocolate marshmallow smoothie sounds good about now. Guess I'll go have a lime Jello in the meantime. haha...

I had my surgery on 6/18, I've lost 1 pound a day. Total as of today that I am two weeks post op 14lb. It may not seem much but I'm happy with slow weight loss. I am hypothyroid ( hashi mottos). It's hard for me to lose any weight so this is the main reason I got the surgery. It's really hard for me to avoid solids. I drink 8 oz of drinkable kefir yogurt each morning and drink 4oz protein shake. However I'll munch on whole grain crackers about 6 of them. Yesterday I ate little bit of rice. I want real food, my doc has me on the purée stage and I don't like it one bit. I have no will power How can I continue without cheating? -
You actually cannot stretch your pouch however as the swelling goes down you have more room in there. also down the road, there is something that happens in which your brain allows you to eat more as well, so it is important that what you are eating is healthy and that you keep portion control in mind. I am 10.5 months post op and I can eat about a cup of food total. When you think of a cup of food, you think of it all chewed up. So if you are eating a salad you can actually eat more than will fit in a cup before chewing. As long as you are not eating longer than 30 minutes and sticking to your plan you should be just fine. There has been several studies done on whether the pouch stretches. The consensus is that it does not but we tend to get more comfortable eating more than we should. Listen to your stomach and stop when you are full, don't eat beyond that. Also watch for slider foods that make you hungry again too soon. This becomes important when the hunger hormones come back for us RNY folks. Slider foods for me are things like Soup, yogurt, pudding.....

I love those! I use them sort of like mini taco shells (with taco meat, lettuce, tomato, and plain Greek yogurt). The loaded taco flavor is also good for that. Have you tried the spicy sweet chili flavor? They have a lot of good reviews, but I haven't tried them because I've only seen them in an 8-pack and I don't want to buy that many when I don't know if I'll like them.

Retraining your brain does anyone understand it
djgirl19 replied to BlueAngelEyes's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@JanJan19 Lmao I read your cottage cheese post and decided not to ask if advancing a day or two early would kill me. I didn’t want to get scolded either. I mean if we were all great dieters most of us wouldn’t be here in the first place. JS. I made it to foods today without cheating except I added a little shredded cheese to my grits the last couple days, but yea, I hear you. And at some point those cream Soups and yogurt and shakes just make you want to hurl. I crushed my Protein goal today bc I added a Protein Shake snack. Do you know the next step? If you do you could cautiously try it or call your doc and let them know you feel you need to bc you’re so weak. It’s not a hard requirement for all vsgs to go so long on liquid but they may have their reasons.I would never have survived liquids without yogurt. I was eating 3 a day to avoid extra shakes. I can do a shake a day. Any more than that is too much thick sweet drink.
