@@amper02 i envy your problem good for you realizing that cola is not an option looks like you have tried many good things thirst is a symptom of diabetes is that possible??? being sleeved would/should improve the diabetes, so thats confusing "maybe" go to the old standard of calling NUT/dr explain how you are sooo thirsty always, but you are still thirsty he might have a suggestion - or he might tell you to "get over it"!! there is no such thing as drinking too much water but not being able to get satisfaction from drinking lots of water, and still be thirsty that isn't good for you hopefully you'll get good suggestions i would just suggest calling the good ol' doc drinking to your health good luck kathy

You are doing fab!!!! 66lbs in in just under 5mths is something to be really proud of. You will find that you can eat a little more... that's ok, just be aware of it and follow the Protein first rule. Keep doing what you are doing 'cos it sounds like you are right on track.... congrats on a great job so far =]

@@Momma_D Don't panic. TOTALLY normal. Your body is adjusting, that's all. I gain weight all the time, but then I'll have a 4 pound weight loss. You are doing nothing wrong, (especially if you've switched over to good Protein instead of mashed potatoes and crackers)...follow plan, get some exercise, and it will come off. Stalls and weight gain are all part of the process, so you may as well get used to it now This journey is not a straight line, but more like steps of stairs. You'll have your ups and downs.

Vitamins Are Making My Tummy Hurt!...anybody Else
cantwaittolose posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So I'm on day 10 and I just remembered that I'm supposed to be on my chewable vitamins!!....between concentrating on getting all the liquids and protein in, I forgot! Anyway, so tonight I took them slowly....but my tummy is RUMBLING and then diarrhea!!! Anybody have this problem with the vitamins? Since I'm day 10 I'm only on protein shakes, water, tea, diet Snapple and broth....maybe just the change in what I'm putting in....but it makes me not want to take them! -
When you guys say "early days out", do you mean 2 weeks, 4 weeks or 6 months? Because I've been making "Cold-Brew" and it's supposed to be 65% less acidic. However, apparently even that's bad. (?) Since I've been going crazy over losing caffeine and the fear of developing GERDS I've been reading a lot too. Apparently 'caffeine' itself is the total jerk that causes production of even more stomach acid inside your stomach, no matter the source of the caffeine, and even small amounts will kick off an acidic production. This really bums me out, because I literally can't get moving some days. And yes I've lived w/o caffeine. If you can call it living. I have to ask my Dr. and Nutritionist is this is the case. I'm getting tired of too many conflicting 'research studies' and opinions from them and the science community. PS I literally limit myself to 4-5 oz of this cold brew in the mornings, mixed with Water and Protein shake sips. ADIO MIO. *sigh* I used to drink 2 thick, black, freshly ground Starbucks every morning.

Full Liquids Fill Me Up- How Do You Get All Protein In?
sassypants replied to jennrus's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You can put some protein powder in your soup, blend it with a little milk a natural one and add it to creamy soups if you have them (its kinda gross with non creamy soups) I don’t know what you were told but I wasn’t expected to get 100g of protein in every day to start with I was told try and get in as much as you can between 50-100g a day but don’t worry. Water wasn’t my friend so I drank decaf tea a lot still do and flavoured water but check the labels on the flavoured water some are nasty buggers full of crap. I was one of the people told fluid intake was far more important than protein for the first few weeks. But yeah you do feel like your constantly drinking taking a med drinking a med drining drinking drink when you move on its then the waiting between eating and drinking too lol If you can stand like hot water with lemon in it try that warmer drinks tend to go down easier, if I liked hot water I would have sipped on that instead! Just do what you can do and don’t feel you HAVE to do what other people are or were doing at the same stage as long as your doc/nurse/nut are ok with how your going you will be fine. -
Full Liquids Fill Me Up- How Do You Get All Protein In?
Kalimomof3 replied to jennrus's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
As a nurse I would say hydration is key drink your water as priority 1 you don't want to end up in the hospital due to dehydration.Your stomach will heal and you can work your way up to taking in enough protein over time a little more everyday. -
If you have a costco close to you the vanilla premier Protein... is great! Taste like tapioca pudding! The chocolate Premier Protein is a wonderful smooth chocolate flavor! You can taste the Vitamins in them, however they are very yummy! They have 30 grams of protein in each shake too. I have tried others, but these are my fav!

Worried about the restriction.
UPRR Wifey replied to BigFatLoser's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am the same way. I have not been getting in all my liquids or proteins. Its a daily struggle. We can do it! -
Thanks for the response. Well went to the dr for my followup and she suggested adding an additional scoop of Protein to my ready to drink. So I have doubled the amt of protein without having to increase volume. She said even though I am not having any trouble drinking she is still concerned with stressing the revision with all the complications.

Pureed Soup Recipes
Bandista replied to MrsFraga2016's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am pre pre-op diet but I love to cook, too -- cauliflower is amazing whirred up with a stick blender, Cuisineart, etc. I steam it then pulverize, adding organic chicken stock to get the consistency I'm looking for. Cumin very nice, ground coriander -- and I have made a kind of "pesto" with cilantro, garlic and steamed cauliflower -- needs a little salt & pepper. Also the Indonesian squash soups -- yum. Sautéed onion, garlic, ginger then spices: cumin, coriander, etc., many recipes call for several almonds ground up for a nutty flavor, add can of coconut milk if that is ok for your food plan, then the steamed squash of any kind and stock (can be veggie or chicken). Cook down then pulverize -- very savory and satisfying. Everyone is crazy about this soup. Freezes beautifully. -

I Feel Like I Am Able To Eat More Than I Should Be...
LaBelle509 replied to TaraInDC's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
perfect answer!! as you progress to bulkier protein, the restriction of the sleeve will be more noticeable. But the simple fact that you feel satisfied after eating some soup, is a sign that you are on the road to success:) -
I was sleeved on the 19th so today makes one week! Speaking of sneezing we were at Walmart on Christmas eve. Buying the gifts for our kids and I sneezed. Ouch that really hurts I felt like I was going to faint I am not taking enough fluids and cannot even finish one protein shake. I would love to have real food
-
Yes I think it's normal. Make sure u hv enough vitamins water and u should b fine. Hv some extra protein drink that should help
-
Sounds pretty normal. Week 3 is pretty fresh in my mind (week 6 for me) I had days just like you describe. For me, I think those days where a result of my body just not having enough calories in the previous days and wanted a rest. Usually I was up and able the next day to start on getting my liquid and protein in. Hope you feel better tomorrow.
-
That's a lot of carbs and a lot of sodium you're eating every day. Personally I find highly processed food particularly binding. Try adding some green leafy veg alongside your protein and increase your water intake. As for constipation aides any of the following may help; prunes, prune juice, colace, benefiber, milk of magnesia, miralax, psyllium powder, flax powder, and smooth move tea to name just a few.

From the very beginning I have had zero problem with liquids & pudding, jello, yogurt, etc...now that I"m on to soft food, it feels a little like it gets stuck in my chest and there is some discomfort. Some foods are easier than others - I had a hard time with scrambled eggs but was fine with chicken salad, go figure. But I'm keeping calories under 700, watching the carbs and sugar, making sure to get enough protein & water, and am losing pretty well with little to no hunger. I don't know how to explain it; I guess I should be grateful. I'd definitely talk to your surgeon about it next time you see him though. That's what I plan on doing Good luck!

My surgery was Monday (3 days ago) and I was told when I was released on Tuesday to try for 48 oz of liquids and 40 gms of protein per day for the first week. I've read so many comments from others that in the first few days after surgery, have a really hard time getting in their liquids and protein. That's what's strange....I'm just the opposite. For example, it's not yet noon and I've already had 28 oz of liquids and 34 gms of protein. Plus, I've had very little nausea and am already feeling almost back to 100% today. Could the doc have maybe made my sleeve a bit larger than normal and that's why I've had it so much easier than others who have been posting regarding problems getting in their liquids and proteins early on after surgery? I don't understand....it's really strange.

I think I am onto something about the B Vitamins. Too much of some B Vitamin leads to automatic gagging/heaving/throwing up. Not sure which B vitamin is is though. Here is where I could use your help. Looking at my mio energy drink, it says there is 10% b12, 10% b6 and 10 b3. My b50 has 2500% b6 and 2500% b12. I take 2 of these so double the percents to 5000% each. My Multivitamin has 200% b3, 5833% b12 and 600% b6. My b12 supplement has 16,667% b12. Plus whatever I am getting in the 2 shakes a day and pure Protein like chicken, salmon, etc. Lots of numbers, I know. It is not quite clear why anyone would need such a high dose of b12, but hey, I am following the NUTs recommendations. Except for the mio drink and the extra b50/b12. Didn't realize I was double dosing on the b12 and b50 supplements. Usually when you take a supplement ( or something like tylenol), you take 2. I am sure others can relate to this habit of taking 2 of something. So what is causing me to heave? Sometimes after taking multivitamin, sometimes after taking b12 supplement and some times after drinking mio energy about 32 oz. Typically if it is going to happen, it is after taking the multivitamin. However, I usually take the multivitamin after b12 and b50 supplements because they are most likely to cause me to heave. I think it is the b12 because the percentage is way up there in terms of DV. I also will cool it on the mio energy because I don't really need it, just a carry over habit of using energy drinks from before surgery. Besides, I have 1 coffee a day now as it is. What do others think that might have more of a vitamin background than I do. By the way, Nov 2nd will be my 4 month post op mark.

Realized that I need more information
WASaBubbleButt replied to WDW Luver's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is usually caused from a carb rich diet. You will likely experience problems after surgery until your body adjusts to a healthier diet. When it happen do NOT consume sugar!! Consume Protein, it will even out your blood sugar. -
See, almond milk screwed me up. I couldn't go! I switched back to soy because my NUT said it had better protein and when I did, no more issues. I switch back and forth between lactaid and soy. Something about that almond milk.....
