Banded 02/12 Seek Friend Same
Kristen1969 replied to nett31601's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on 2/15...and had a pretty good recovery although the first couple days I could hardly keep down water I was so tight from the swelling. I felt good though! I lost 6.5 pounds the two weeks after surgery on liquids, then I lost another 3.9 pounds the next two weeks on soft mushies (scrambled egg, protein shake, cup of soup, yogurt). I went for my first fill yesterday and my doctor said I didn't need one as I was doing so well :-) I am just now starting "regular" food and feel full chewing well after about 5 bites so my initial fill with surgery is working fine! I go back to the doctor in two weeks and see how I am doing then, and to determine if I need a fill or not. I am so glad I got this surgery! -

Sick Of Protein Drinks!
BBdoodle replied to Stardusted's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hear ya !!! I'm 6 months post op and not very fond of them either but they are the best form of protein. Can you maybe change flavors or brands ?? Warning - don't even look at the protein shots they are absolutely discusting !!!! My doc wants me to have minimum 64 grams of protein daily, now that I am on regular food I do get more protein from food and will eliminate the shakes all together soon. Milk (low fat), Cottage cheese, yogurt, nuts, beans etc. are all high in protein. But you are only 2.5 weeks post op so probably still on liquid right? To get a extra bang I would make my shake with low fat milk to have some extra protein. Hang in there sweetie, the protein is a must to maintain health/nutrition and hair !!! -
I'm 8 weeks out & still get the 'stuck' feeling at times too. If I concentrate on chewing more & really moist foods I do better. Doesn't happen with yogurt or cottage cheese, but does with anything heavier. Not drinking with meals is also hard when you get the stuck feeling!

College life and the Band- Good in theory, not in practice.
BayougirlMrsS replied to Meduseld's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I like them.... you can buy just one and try it. So when i started my journey i purchased this small travel blender. It worked perfect. I still use it all the time. Also, sometimes if you go the a local health store, if you purchase their protein powder they will give you one of those cups with the metal ball in it... I personally don't care for it. i have at least 6 at home. I like the electric one because i like to blend in fruit and ice and yogurt (reg. not fat free) with my p.powder. but again i have to drink fast or i can forget it... after it warms up i throw it away. This is why the liq. shot works great for me. I know exactly what i got and what i still need to get.

Hello I understand. I'm a week post-op today sleeve surgery. If your doctor allowed pureed vegetables, cream Soups, grits creamy add a little chicken bouillon crumbles for flavoring or shrimp bouillon crumbles for flavoring. Dannon OikosTriple Zero vanilla Yogurt 15 grams of Protein zero added sugar 0 artificial sweeteners zero fat. Not a fan of artificial sweeteners but if I have to go with one Stevia is the best one on the market. sugar-free Jell-O and pudding have aspartame and all that stuff so much chemicals and crap that I've seen documentaries on so I try to do it with stevia only and that's hard too. I also drink tea, Orgain clean Protein Shakes their really good there 20 grams of protein. Protein help my Hunger. Hang in there best wishes to you Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

Don't let this discourage you. My husbands aunt had GB 8 years ago she went from a size 24 to a size 4 and she has maintained her weight loss all these years. I asked her tonight what was her secret. She said no caffeine, no soda, beer, or wine. Drink lots of Water, eat three small meals a day and three small Snacks. I asked what sort of snacks she said yogurt or 1/2 banana. I wish you the best of luck and we are all here to support you. -
ice cream is a bad idea. you can do some things like lowfat yogurt and sherbet but i dont think i would do actual ice cream

Keeping breakfast interesting
Losebig replied to Octalmist21's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I usually eat an egg white omelette, but keep it interesting by changing what's in it. Sausage and cheese are my go to's, but you can put all kinds of stuff in it. Turkey or ham are good, peppers or other veggies. Otherwise Chobani Greek yogurt is quick and easy and comes in a lot of flavors. -
Yes, I had the same problem. Liquid yogurt helped for me at least!

Protein Shakes & Smoothies
bambam replied to MrsGonk's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm a little over a year out from my surgery and find I'm usually tight in the morning so this is my "Breakfast smoothie": 3 oz of pineapple juice 3 oz of milk 1 vanilla low-fat yogurt (I use Activia) 1/2 frozen banana 2-3 frozen strawberries (8 blueberries or so if I have them on hand) 1 scoop whey isolate Protein powder - vanilla I just mix it in my blender and it's great. It is about 280 calories and 28 grams of protein. That is pretty much my fruit and dairy for the day. For lunch and dinner I concentrate on getting in the remainder of my protein and try to get a little veggie in. HTH! -
Not really sure I'm happy with my gastric sleeve surgery choice
pinklady08619 replied to pinklady08619's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Project me ( I love your picture she's my fav we are Disney ppl over here ) Forgive me while in trying to get the hang of the this whole thing! But yes I got instructions but I feel like nothing makes sense ! I know I was under some heavy medications but tomorrow will be a week since surgery now I was under the impression I was suppose to have Clear liquids only and just Protein shakes ... That's what the paper I have says for stage 1 Then stage 2 yogurts and mushy stuff . But I keep reading things and talking to ppl and hearing different things. So I was curious to what other other people were instructed to do. I sip sip sip on Water all day along with Protein Shakes and so no sugars clear treats but this is getting annoying and I'm starting to feel like maybe it was mistake -
Not really sure I'm happy with my gastric sleeve surgery choice
auntiem0502 replied to pinklady08619's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was required to attend a Nutrition Class, and got a handout describing what is allowed in each "phase". Although I still have a few questions before surgery. My date is 3-6. Lap Sleeve. Week 1: Clear liquids (broth, Water, Crystal Light, SF Popsicles) Week 2: Liquids, also includes SF pudding, Greek Yogurt, Cream of Wheat, Tomato, Butternut Squash Soups. Unsweetened applesauce Week 3&4: Puréed (Baby food, whipped Low fat Peanut Butter, almond butter,) Week 5: Ground meats, string cheese etc. You should still get more instructions from your Dr., I'm not sure why, but everyone on here has different guidelines per their surgeon. My surgeon group/dietician doesn't like Protein shakes etc. But I'll be asking about the Unflavored no carb whey/isolate powder to add to Soup. -
Protein shakes during Clear Liquid diet
JamieLogical replied to Bianca08's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You should consult with your surgeon or nutritionist, as every plan is different. I was allowed protein shakes and drinkable yogurt on day 3 post-op, as I recall, but all my other liquids still had to be clear until I was allowed strained cream soups around day 7. -
26 days since surgery and bored with my food options
CoffeeBean replied to LovelyLyric's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Lovely, Can you have yogurt, refried Beans or split pea soup? I'm on mushies and had 1/2 can of beef vegetable soup blended up in the Magic Bullet for dinner tonight. It was so good. -
Welcome! You should start a thread and introduce yourself to everyone. Those steriods are bad for putting weight on, I have confidence you will get this regain off now that you are well. In general, I have been really healthy too. I thought maybe I had caught a mild cold until it became obvious I could no longer ignore the chills and fever and body aches. So this is always an interesting question. I am much better today but I had basically 3 days of overeating (compared to my normal) and then yesterday I was hardly hungry - almost like a balancing out day. Today, so far, I feel normal. I think my body really did want more food. I felt AWFUL and could not even muster the energy to do my easy go to foods. After eating the greek yogurt in the house I found myself eating the old easy carby foods. You know, a little cold Cereal by the handful. There was some disgusting microwavable mac and cheese thing I buy for the boys that I even ate (Easy Mac or something). That was absolutely atrocious and I will never buy that for them again now that I have sampled it. My son brought home a pizza and cheesy bread. Because I was feeling so bad, I wasn't making proper meals. I think this can be a good reminder for me how important it is to "eat right" because once you start wandering down a grazing, haphazard way of eating - anything can happen. Good news is that now that the fever is broke and I am just left with a cough, low energy and a stuffed up nose, I am back to eating my normal way and feel no desire to eat that crappy good. I really think alot of it was just that grazing/never quite satiated/don't feel good enough to address it properly thing.

Hey there, fellow Massachusetts person! Here are a few options that might work for you for protein: If you like soups such as creamy tomato, butternut bisque, etc., add a scoop or two (10-20g protein) of unflavored protein powder such as Isopure or Syntrax to the soup. Also, if you make a canned soup like cream of chicken, make it with Fairlife skim milk for even more protein. 1/2 a cup cream of chicken with 1 scoop of protein would give you about 17g protein. If you are at a stage where you can have apples, make a great protein dip by taking 1 cup Greek yogurt and adding one serving chocolate protein powder and 1 scoop powdered peanut butter and eat 1/2 cup with 1/2 an apple. This gives you around 25g protein depending what brands you are using and tastes delicious. A great source of plant-based protein is edamame, which they sell already shelled and lightly salted, ready to eat, in the produce section of Hannaford (and probably other stores, I would assume). Also, four of the cracker-sized slices of Cabot cheddar have 8g protein, and if you pair it with Triscuit thins, that's another 3g for a nice 10g snack (when you can have crackers).

effects from sinuses/allergies
cduval04 replied to trishfish's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
thank you so much for this tip. I have severe allergies to dust mites (IgE antibodies came back at 20x the normal limit). Shortly after starting full liquids abt 9 or 10 days post op my post nasal drip got really bad, and it was deep in my throat not something I can blow out or even hack up, whenever I blow my nose the pressure from doing so gives me a headache. I think what may have made it act up initially is my much higher than usual dairy consumption. I do not like any Protein shakes, so have been eating fat free yogurt, milk, FF SF pudding, cottage cheese, creamed Soups, my entire diet is pretty much dairy which I have since read is a HUGE culprit for PND. I also have an air purifier in my room, which I set to high every night, is has helped with the dust, but I can tell the humidity in the room is VERY low. SO I am thinking of getting a humidifier. I am also sensitive to drugs and don't like taking too any antibiotics cuz yeast acts up, so I prefer natural. Thank you for telling me about neilmed, I am def going to try it. Tried the neti pot, and it works, but you are right it is annoying and takes practice to get your head just right, holding your head at the wrong angle it will come out your mouth haha. -

On to Purees, suggestions?
Rachel8858 replied to Rileyjay1821's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I also just started the puréed phase, so far I've had SF applesauce, yogurt, cream of wheat, and an egg. I am also looking for ideas! I first had applesauce and my stomach gurgled and I could feel it churning! It was so weird, I'm not hungry so I don't even know when to eat and how often. I have noticed today that my stomach has a tiny bit of pain after eating, maybe I'm eating it to fast? Or is my stomach just trying to figure things out? -
I went for my one week postop visit today. I am acting exactly like a sleeve patient being miserable the first week or so. He wasn't happy at how weak I was and told me to drink fruit juice or yogurt smoothie to get sugar into me. He was surprised I was able to drink a protein drink. He said I looked a lot better compared to the hospital. The reason for not being able to take deep breaths is because he had to cut the muscle a little bit deeper where the port was to get the band out, very little scar tissue and bruised like you know what! He said I could start blended food for a week then try soft foods and see how it goes. I really liked him. I gave him hell and he laughed. Plus another week off of work! Good. I've had a hard time with this. Ask me anything.
