Yes, Grady cat! I can ear a cup of yogurt, but chicken is a different story. 1/2 cup and the brakes come to a screeching halt!

Is Weight Loss Surgery for Me?
KCgirl061 replied to gch81kb's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Well we're all a little biased here, most of us would say YES GO FOR IT! Do a lot of research on your own. You need to make this decision for you, you cant rely on us or your mom who I'm sure has your best interest in mind but is likely focusing on nothing but horror stories and ignoring the overwhelming success stories. My advice is to browse forums and support groups like this one and get an idea of peoples' real life struggles. But Look up MEDICAL JOURNALS for information about complication rates. Don't go off what a handful of people's perceptions and opinions are regarding which surgery is right for you. I'm very happy I had my sleeve done. There are frustrating times, when I'm eating something so yummy I want to pig out and can't! I miss soft buttery bread but know that's not in my best interest to include in my meals. I've developed lactose intolerance and have keep lactaid handy anytime I want yogurt, cheese, or a protein bar. But these nuisances are nothing compared to the hassles being overweight was. -
So I'm 4 weeks post-op from sleeve and have been on purees for about a week. In the last 2 days I have found that I am actually tolerating less food when I try to eat something. Three days ago I was able to eat 3-4 oz of yogurt, re-fried beans, sweet potatoes, etc. Yesterday I could only eat about 1 oz of anything I tried before I felt some restriction. I'm assuming it's normal to go up and down with how much one can tolerate, but I'm surprised by how little I can take in at the moment. Liquids are still fine. I am going to try waiting longer between eating (I was doing every 2 hours) to see if that helps. Anyone else experience this?

June 2019 Surgery Siblings!
starladustangel replied to BulletWithButterflyWings's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No pre op liquid diet but I have been tracking calories and making better choices over the last 3 months and the surgeon was happy with the 10 pounds I've managed to lose since my last visit. I'm not since that's so little for 3 months although I really have only been getting stricter with myself for two months. Still not very much. I've done keto and atkins before so watching carbs and protein is something I am familiar with. I'm getting gradually used to having 1200 calories or less a day. I've signed the consent forms. I cleaned out two Grocery Outlet stores of Siggi's plain yogurt today. It was 2 for a dollar. 16 g of protein, 6 carbs, 4g of sugar and 90 calories. They are so creamy and delicious and provide a lot of protein. Usually they are 2.00 each at the other stores so I stocked up but it was maybe 8 or 9 in total. They mostly had the sugar filled flavored ones. -
February 2019 weight loss buds
taylormomto6 replied to TheMarine79's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Uggg, I decided to try an experiment by upping carbs and calories a bit since I’ve been keeping everything very low. I’m a bit nervous that if I keep everything this low I’ll have no room to drop further if weight loss stops. So I had 1/4 c of oatmeal (no sugar) and 1/2 sf Greek yogurt for breakfast. For lunch I had tuna and 1/4 c of Mexican corn and I swear I have felt like I’m staving. I don’t usually snack between meals, so this feeling is unusual for me. I already had cheese/almond/craisen snack thing, 9 carbs, but dabs I feel like I’m shaky and starving already. Clearly I can’t handle 10 carbs at a time I guess.... -
I was sleeved Feb 25th and have lost 52 lbs. It's dlowing way down, but I'm tracking with my fitness pal and wearing a Fitbit. I eat mostly the same thing for breakfast. Yogurt and pumpkin seeds. Chicken salad or tuna for lunch and shrimp, chicken or beef for dinner. Congrats on your weight loss!

April 2019 Surgeries!
leahdavis33 replied to CajunSam's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have trouble with the protein shakes as well. I bought the unflavored protein isolate (I like the isopure unflavored whey protein isolate) from Amazon. For 1 scoop, you get 25 g protein. You can add it to anything. Yogurt, soup, smoothie, cottage cheese... I sometimes make my own shake with 1 scoop protein, 8 Oz either skim, coconut, or almond milk, a little vanilla extract, a tsp cocoa, sweetener, and a couple ice cubes... Have to wait a few minutes for the foam to settle it, but the protein powder has no flavor or aftertaste. That is my go to rescue to get the protein in when I'm struggling. -
I have also lost 50lb my surgery was 3mos ago today. I am very happy with it so far. Still have a protein drink every am, yogurt, almonds, meat and veggies. I have had some bread and very small amt carbs, too scared of dumping.

overeating after gastric sleeve
FluffyChix replied to MaryNa's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
This is sooooo common. It's the thing I've been yelling about since surgery, but there are very few newbies who want to listen to this. Obesity is a disease. It has many factors. And some of those factors include our own relationships/behaviors with food. It's not just the substance--meaning it's not just "what" we eat, but it's also "when" we eat, "why" we eat, and even more-- "HOW" we eat. Then there is the metabolic derangement that goes along with things that creates obesity. The surgery is just a tool to jack our hormones and tummy capacity for a short window of time, and can help us lose weight quickly, and in the process it hopefully allows us time to gain new skills, develop new behaviors and relationships with food. But the further out you go, the less and less protection it offers. Our tools "mature." Few stretch--minority of the time--most just simply mature to an increased capacity. The doctors expect that. But many do not warn us. So we end up over eating, not learning our lessons up front, or just being human. And we regain. And we feel like we fail WLS. The beatings will never make morale improve. ((hugs)). Make a list of 3 things today that you need to accomplish and CAN accomplish. Make them actionable. Make them attainable: 1. Hygiene: Shower, do your hair, put make-up on, and get dressed in fresh clothes. 2. Plan your meals for the day (protein first 3-4oz + steamed veggies (al dente) + avocado/tomato salad (1oz each). Stick to that plan. (Don't forget protein first and no drinking water with your meal or 1 hour after) - weigh your food 3. Walk 5 - 10 minutes x 3 times today. Check them off your list. Go back to basics. 1 cup of food per meal. 3 meals per day and 1-2 tiny snacks if you can't eat only the 3 meals. The snacks need to be BORING! The snacks need to be <100cals, <5g carbs and healthy (i.e. hb egg, 2oz turkey lunch meat, or veggies with Grk yogurt ranch dip). Go to bed and sleep 8 hours in a completely dark, cool room. You can do this. Do it one day at a time. Join a local WLS support group. Go back to your RD. Get a referral to a counselor!!! Do it!!! It's not too late. -
I’m also down almost 50lbs! Feeling sooooo good. I eat a lot of Greek yogurt, Sargento Smart Balance trays, and meat with veggies. I do find myself sneaking a chip or piece of cookie on occasion - trying to stop myself from slipping into old bad behaviors and focus on getting healthy.

Can we talk about food aversion
nomorefattypatty replied to newmebithebypass's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Cottage cheese and peaches and greek yogurt are my rescue foods also. There are days when I eat food, but there are days that every time I think about food I get nauseous. Dont be afraid to stay on a lighter diet when this happens. Sometimes you have to go back to lighter diet and slowly add things back to your diet. I'm on my 3rd year after having the sleeve and I've learned to pay attention to my stomach more. I was 238, surgery at 209, The smallest I got was 142, I gained back about 25 pounds but when I'm strict with my snacking I can now easily lose weight like when I was 40 but I'm 57 and the sleeve is a good surgery but I have to revise to bypass surgery due to acid reflux.

February 2019 weight loss buds
gabybab replied to TheMarine79's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I bought one of those home meals at the store the other day. It was chicken fajitas. I ate it and thought I was going to throw up. Not sure if I ate it too fast or the spice? My stomach has been tender ever since. I have only throw bile up once, but this was a horrific experience. It's such a chore to find foods that don't hurt. I'm not a cooker much. I'm loving off yogurt and more yogurt. Ugh The struggle is real! -
Make sure to bring protein drinks to work. This way you are getting your ounces of fluids in and your protein. Bring an insulated lunch bag and throw in some veggies and yogurts, hummus, etc. You got this! Where there is a will, there is a way!

Oh Yes! But this is your head talking, not your stomach. Arm yourself with ready to reach protein and snacks: Tuna, Yogurt, cottage cheese, Almonds, mozzarella cheese, popsicles, Beef jerkies.... I feel I get really hungry after dinner when we sit and start watching TV. I give in to my head hunger. Instead of eating another slice of pizza though, I'll have a banana instead. Exchanged Hershey's chocolate bar with Sugar free Russell Stover bit size chocolates. INstead of Ice cream, I'll have a sugar free pudding... I also try to eat between 800-1,200 calories daily. Good Luck. You got this!

Stomach hungry but brain is not?
Brent701 replied to Brent701's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes I am on something I didnt realize it was a PPI. 30 days something for stomach acid. Last night i was cleared for full liquids and today I tried Dannon light and fit and sf pudding. My plan calls for 1oz but I was able to finish both 4 oz cups. I assume this feeling of restriction is going to come from foods that are more dense. Perhaps greek yogurt I would feel it more just have to get some from the store. Is the 1oz per serving more of a safety thing or weight loss related because Im only getting a bit over 330 calories per day all from my protein shakes so far and cant see the harm in having a 4oz serving of yogurt or pudding. Still not feeling any signs of hunger or cravings. -
Fried ham, with mushrooms, and melted cheese drizzled in mustard has been my fave last couple days...air fried corn tortillas my nut allows with beans n cheese n seasoned. Greek yogurt frozen into popsicles is my night time snack... Sent from my VS986 using BariatricPal mobile app

Feeling like this didn’t work....
49Nash replied to KimB7811's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 8 days out. I do not have to avoid drinking 30 min before/after fluid since I am still on full liquids. About day 4 or 5 I noticed I could eat a 5 Oz container of Greek yogurt (slowly) without feeling restriction. I started giving myself that 30 min window and now I can only eat half the yogurt. I was really worried because I need restriction to keep me on target. I am getting 400 calls a day but when I was drinking with my foods I felt I could have eaten way more. I made myself stop. And I had terrible head hunger day 4-7. I have to stop and really pay attention to my stomach to see if I am hungry. So far it’s always been a “no” -
Issues hitting protein goal, six weeks out.
renjenn replied to Ellf's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I think they give you high goals so you try as hard as you can to reach them. My protein goal was 90 grams. Yesterday was the first day I actually hit that. Dr told me drink 3 shakes a day and then other foods to get that 90 g. My calorie goal is supposed to be 1500. hah! and my nurse practitioner last week told me to at least try for 1200. I barely get 700. I feel like i'm always eating. The high protein things I have are turkey, tuna won't go down well. Protein shakes, peanut butter and my new favorite thing is low-fat string cheese. It is small but has 7 g of protein. Lowfat ricotta cheese with low sodium marinara has about 10g in a half cup. Oikos triple zero yogurt has 15g. if I want pudding or applesauce I mix unflavored protein so it isn't empty calories. All my food has to have a protein-purpose. -
Issues hitting protein goal, six weeks out.
mousecat88 replied to Ellf's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I wasn't able to hit my protein goals until 4 months out because of limited food intake and the shakes make me sick. Don't stress if you aren't getting there just yet. You're only 6 weeks out! My surgeon said I can rely on the shakes (which I can't have sooooo) even up to a year if need be to get there. Chicken and fish still make me feel crappy. Turkey patties have 22g of protein and sit well with me. 1 cup of cottage cheese is also 23g of protein. That's a lot right there and cottage cheese is easy to get down. Greek yogurt has 8-12g of protein depending on the brand. Don't feel bad if you need to supplement with protein shakes at 6 weeks. I'm 6 months out and not supposed to be on all foods yet for another 3 months according to my diet plan (still limitations on complex carbs, rough veggies, and nuts). -

Vegan Northern Indian Samosa Chat, 2 potato samosa w/ chickpea masala & various toppings (tamarind & mint yogurt sauces, parsley, rice crunchies- forgot to say no to all of these 😩) I *needed* stuff from the store and the cafeteria is in back After only... Only ate 1/3. Completely full & very spicy 😍 -
I am 10 days into my sleeve and this morning I have noticed my stomach starting to rumble which stopped after I finished my protein shake. Whats weird is how my brain is processing it and the best way to describe it is confused. I am eager to move to full liquid to see what my sleeve will handle with semi solids like yogurt. Is this normal at all? I have not deviated from the clear liquid at all yet. I havent felt that tingling or full sensation since day two when I first began to sip liquids. I can handle 8oz of liquid so far no problem but havent attempted to go beyond that. I have my first follow up on Thursday.

New to everything!! stall and sick
ms.sss replied to bajankat's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Disclaimer: I am by no means an expert, and the advice given below is based purely on my own experience and diet choices (high protein, ultra low carb), and may not be suitable for everyone. Check with your doc/nut/etc ! With that said, at first glance (to me at least) your menu looks like a lot of calories for being less than a month out. A rough calculation (based on regular serving sizes of your foods listed) shows you are consuming about 1200 calories a day. This sounds more like weight-maintenance level calories, and not weight-loss level calories. Also, another rough calculation has you logging in over 170g of carbs daily. You may want to bring this level down a little (or a lot!). Lose the cream of wheat, banana, sweet potato and the peach fruit bottom yogurt. Maybe sub your milk (I assumed you were using regular 2% milk) with Fairlife or unsweetned coconut milk. And easy on the avocado. You don't need to cut it out, just add in moderation. That is the best I can say based on what info you have provided. I don't know your starting weight/current weight/exercise level is, and these will also factor into your diet needs. Lastly, I am of the camp that believe it is important to meet your water goals every day and get a good nights sleep. Others have found that water and/or sleep have little impact on their weight loss, but based on my own experience, I found that both play a huge role. Oh, and get some exercise into your daily routine. It will make you feel good Good Luck! -

bajankat replied to bajankat's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I've been eating: breakfast: either cream of wheat with a cup of milk or 1 boiled egg with a half of avocado Morning snack: either 1 banana, protein shake with 8oz milk, sugar free popsicle, sugar free jello, unsweetened applesauce lunch: either tuna creations with 1/2 avocado and 1 boiled or 1sm baked sweet potato or sweet potato with stir fry chicken breast (it's been pretty much this) afternoon snack: either low fat cottage cheese with peaches on the bottom or sugar free any options from above snack dinner: steamed salmon, stir fry chicken, riced cauliflower, Dall, steam fresh pasta veges, and/or sweet potato evening snack: either protien shake, lowfat Greek yogurt or something from above. *For those wondering what dall is, it's curried pureed lentils also im not finishing none of these meals other than the snacks and most of the breakfast items. today i start soft foods but I'm not sure what to eat. I get bored pretty quick and as you can see i ate the same things almost every day and i hated the pureed stage. i almost just went back to only eating cream of chicken soup and cream of wheat with the sugar free items above -
how has surgery impacted your hunger?
nevermore71 replied to Zemi's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
My hunger never went away. But my stomach capacity is way down. I'm also able to eat a low calorie option like 80 calorie Greek yogurt and be satisfied for a little while at least. You just have to learn to eat super low calorie to your limited capacity and you should be fine.
