    3 Weeks Post Op. NEED HELP!!

    In your post op diets, did they mention using ground flax seeds or refried beans? These are all excellent sources of fiber and will help with constipation without the use of stool softeners. I add ground flax to my yogurt daily and since I have I have a small BM nearly every day.
  2. Hi, all! I had my surgery on August 16th. I’m doing great as far as pain, healing, etc, but I was nauseated 24/7 for the first three weeks. I’ve had a barrilium swallow test, and everything looks great - no leaks, twists, knots, or blockages. I realized at the end of week 3 that the protein shakes were the culprit. I have tried SEVERAL different protein supplements to no avail. Once I stopped the protein shakes, I had a couple days of no nausea, now I’m getting sick almost everyday. I have ordered vitamin patches that should be here Tuesday. I’m sure that will help some. I’m still working to get protein in anyway I can (Greek yogurt, still trying other powders/supplements, etc), but I’m having a lot of trouble trying to eat. I’ve talked to my surgeon multiple times. He says some people are just more sensitive to nausea. He said it could be days, weeks, or months, and I just have to wait it out. I am MISERABLE! I’m just so sick of being sick! I’m sorry to be Debbie Downer! I guess I just thought “talking” to someone who may understand may help. Everyone thinks they understand, and they want to tell me to try this and try that, they tell me they know how I feel because this one time when they were dieting blah blah blah, but they have NO clue! I’m not just dieting, I’m not just constipated (Yes, they’ve compared it to that too.🙄), and I’m not just feeling bad. I had 80% of my stomach removed, and I’ve been sick for 4 weeks!

    Minnesota?

    I'm so glad to meet people from Minnesota on here! I'm a bit more than 5 months post op. Had a sleeve done at Park Nicollet/Methodist by Dr. Grish Luthra. I couldn't be happier. A few thoughts for folks struggling with protein intake early after surgery, my nutritionist recommended Fairlife milk which has 13g protein per 8 oz. It also has fewer carbs than regular milk and tastes the same (at least to me). In any event, I found protein shakes to be more tolerable if I added milk to them. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I have heard of people who mix coffee with their protein shakes. Oikos Triple Zero Greek yogurt has a good amount of protein without a lot of added sugar. It would be a lot of fun to organize a get together. Anyone interested? Maybe meet at a coffee place? I'm in St. Louis Park. Musical Kate is in St. Paul. Where is everyone else?
  4. Hi there, This is my 1st message. I am 11 days post up. I have lost 30 pds but I am totally exhausted. I do 3 protein shakes a day and 1 cup of yogurt and drink water. Just no energy I star back to work tomorrow. thanks
  5. I’m looking for a good unflavored protein that mixes well. I want to add it to my yogurt/coffee/soup. I had some right after surgery but even though it said unflavored you could taste a difference. Also it didn’t blend well. Any ideas is appreciated.
  6. I was having a protein shake for breakfast and lunch, and then a sandwich with as much protein as a shake for dinner at work with two cheese sticks, and a yogurt snack when I got home from work.
  7. Let me tell you all: I was born to be a vegetarian. I had to do a cleanse just to set my system right... I will still be cleansing for a few more days, thanks Smooth Move tea! Lol That's why I was a no show... it was a shorter fast for me because , well it's the weekend and I don't usually fast on Saturdays. Today I had oatmeal (rare) and yogurt together, the salad below and a mini kind bar (something else but I can't remember) & banana protein shake in iced coffee (really good) thanks @FluffyChix MPF says I had 1000 cals, 92g protein, 70ish of carbs, I ignore fats, I eat enough nuts to know it high... So here's my salad. Black bean and avocado salad. Water tea coffee on repeat...

    Who is sick of purees? Some fresh ideas...

    I am new to group first day. I am in the pureed stage but can not visually handle what it looks like so I chew everything I eat up really fine and have not had any issues. Things like scrambled eggs, beans, fish and other meats ( can't be dry). I still have protein shakes and Greek yogurt. I go see my surgeon on Monday will let you guys know how it goes. I'm 4 weeks and 1 day post-op bypass. I am so thankful for this group. I

    2-days post op - Meds?

    I am 3 weeks postop. It’s very difficult! I hope you are crushing your meds - very necessary. Don’t be swallowing whole pills at this point. The med for acid reflux should be a capsule that you can open up. I put the crushed meds on a little yogurt to get it down. You can always call the emergency line for your surgeon or talk to your pharmacist. You are getting rid of the gas from surgery. - will take a while. Take care!!!
  10. Steel cut oatmeal with protein powder added. Greek yogurt, plain with swerve seeetener and vanilla added. Chili!

    Do you snack?

    I definitely snack. There’s not all that much difference for me yet between snacks and meals! Is a 1/2 cup of green yogurt a meal, or a snack? How about a protein bar? Either way, it’s eating 5-6 times a day. Protein first.
  12. Need some mushy food phase ideas. I know about eggs, tuna, salmon, yogurt, cottage cheese but looking for some other ideas.

    The Fall

    OMG, I literally just posted about a nasty Pumpkin Spice Yogurt I tried today. Anyway, I'm a summertime person, so the beginning of autumn feels like the end of my fun. To top it off I'm in Oregon so it's also the start of the 8 months of clouds/rain/no sun. Comfort food is how I usually get through. I have winter restaurants that are cozy, comfort food places with fireplaces that I only go to in the winter. That food is not going to work for my pouch this winter. So, I'm thinking of trying to find the coziness without the comfort food. My husband and I love to camp in the fall and winter - everything feels cozy and tastes great when you're bundled up under a canopy in the rain eating things roasted over the campfire and drinking hot beverages - so that will definitely work. But for your average day, I'm going to start mixing in some hiking in the woods for my exercise (we don't mind getting wet in Oregon). I really think that a shower, a hot drink and climbing under a blanket with my kids after a cold, wet hike will be the Ultimate in cozy comfort!

    PUMPKIN SPICE YOGURT, PSA

    OK, even though I know there’s a whole bunch of you that are going to disregard this PSA, here goes: I am tired of all the sugar free yogurt flavors from OIKOS and Dannon Light & Fit. I try to eat plain Fage as much as I can but sometimes I need some flavor and I’ve just been able to start adding fancy things to my yogurt. So, imagine my excitement when I found this little gem today! It. Is. So. Gross. I mean, right when I got the spoon close to my face, I knew it was going to be terrible, but I did it anyway. Do not eat this item. It is not food. Now, I don’t know why I was excited in the first place. I don’t like pumpkin pie OR pumpkin spice anything. I love cinnamon & nutmeg but I lean toward apple not pumpkin. And pumpkin pie is particularly revolting as the texture is disgusting as well. So, why would I buy this? THAT’S HOW DESPERATE I AM, PEOPLE! You’ve been sufficiently warned. Do what you will.

    Pureed food ideas

    Have you checked the food and nutrition forum? There are some pureed ideas. Also, Pinterest. I ate a lot of soups, yogurts, scrambled eggs, cottage cheese and various stews. My favorite was zucchini stew.

    Pureed food ideas

    I made a cauliflower/cheese soup that was delicious pureed. I also ate applesauce, Greek yogurt, smoothies, etc. I couldn't stand the texture of pureed meat. I just waited for soft foods for that.

    August bypassers/sleevers

    I add ground organic flax seed to my yogurt daily. adds fiber and keeps you fuller longer. It adds a nutty flavor. I also have noticed if I have a tsp or TBS of peanut butter, it adds fiber to my meal along with protein, but I can almost guarantee the next day I will have a BM.

    August bypassers/sleevers

    Are you on the pureed stage yet? I am getting in most of my protein through non shakes. Starkist Tuna creations, Wonderslim shakes/pudding meal replacements, cheese sticks, cottage cheese, yogurt with ground flax (helps with fiber / constipation) - I noticed I was fuller longer with shakes but I couldn't meet my protein. Since I've switched and reduced shakes - I feel better and may eat more often but my body is definitely adjusting and liking this version better.

    Help!! Don’t know what to eat!

    At 9 weeks, I was eating regular food with the exception of raw veggies. I usually started my day with a protein shake so that I got a big protein boost at the beginning of the day, but eventually switched to greek yogurt. Even now I don't eat a lot of raw veggies because they fill me up and I don't have room for the protein. If you're afraid of getting stuck, try soft foods for a while until you get the hang of it. Soft scrambled eggs? Beans? Lentils? Chicken (dark meat is moister, but I didn't have trouble with white meat). I think I even had steak, cooked medium and chewed well. The key to not getting that "stuck" feeling is chewing very well and not eating foods that will expand in your stomach (pasta, rice, bread). *If you know you're not getting enough protein, I suggest continuing with protein supplements until you get the hang of how to eat with your new stomach.
  20. Hello! So I am almost 9 weeks out from the sleeve and I am having trouble eating. I’m at the regular diet stage but everything I try to eat I either don’t like it or I am terrified of it getting “stuck” and possibly vomiting(which I’ve been able to avoid thus far). I think my fear of getting sick is getting in the way of me eating and I’m definitely not getting the amount of protein in which I should. I’m pretty much just eating yogurt and cheddar cheese sticks and some soup occasionally. I want things but I just don’t want to get sick! Can you guys please help with suggestions on things I can eat?? I spoke with my NUT but it’s very generic, tuna, fish, ground meat, etc. I don’t like tuna or fish, and ground meat has become icky to me. I hate to complain and I’m super happy with my decision I’m just so stuck with what to eat because I know I’m not having enough. Please help! Thank you!

    Minnesota?

    Hi Kate! I am Megan from St. Paul. I had RNY in July and am also struggling with protein. The shakes are so terrible (in my opinion). This weekend I am going to try blending up some of the tasteless protein powder with honey flavored greek yogurt, milk and berries. I hope it tastes ok! I am also going to look for other ideas for protein shakes/smoothies I can make at home that are tolerable. Let me know if you have any ideas for recipes. Take care, Megan

    August bypassers/sleevers

    HI group, Im now 3 weeks post op. Feeling pretty good...but trying to understand all these new "feelings" in my belly lol. The constipation has been a problem and I have not yet found a solution. I have taken milk of magnesia a couple times when it was really bad and that worked but I cant take that every day. I have been taking a stool softner in pill form everyday and its not doing anything. I may try the stuff you stir in water. Can anyone recommend something that doesnt have strong flavor or taste gritty? My doctors office told my all my liquids count toward "water" so my cup of tea in the morning counts and my breakfast protein shake counts. I make the protein shake with a scoop of chocolate protein isolate, 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk and 8oz of cold coffee. So that alone gives me 16oz of liquid and 31g of protein. The rest of the day is water and protein. I like the ricotta bake, egg salad, baked talapia, kidney beans, greek yogurt and my evening "treat" is a no sugar added fudgcicle (yum). I am band to rny revision and the weight is coming off very slow. I'm okay with that I guess I've lost 9.8 pounds in the last 3 weeks. Hope everyone is doing great! Lisa

    October sleeve

    Hi all! Surgery date is on October 8th and I am so excited and nervous at the same time. What are some of the things you all are doing for your liquid diet? I am considering Pure Protein or Premier Protein powders for my shakes. My surgeon recommended 4 shakes/day in between I can have plain Greek yogurt, sugar free popsicle and pudding (meh). If one shake is 25-30g protein wouldn’t that be too much protein for 1 day? Will have to call my nutritionist. Anyway I’m glad to be a part of the October sleevers!
  24. @DixieD oh geez! I didn't even pay attention to your type of surgery, that's one i don't know enough about. I had the sleeve, pretty basic, right? But I feel hungry all the time, someone suggested tums (maybe it was that chick up there lol!) those sort of help. I don't do shakes and I try to stay away from bars like fluffy said. I eat basic too and I'm not afraid of fat, I don't follow keto or Paleo but do my own thing. I eat a lot of yogurt, cheeses, nuts and I'll indulge and have REAL bacon with my one egg. I know you have absorption issues with your surgery but my nut said and I've seen some articles that say over 100 grams of protein is pointless because we pee it all out, the extra i mean. I don't know, I feel the being hungry thing, and I am not supposed to be hungry according to what everything said about the sleeve. I just drink water, or Crystal light or decaf tea and I have struggles with fluid off and on too. It seriously feels like it's a job to.drink water, I loved it before, now it's a chore. My doctor also upped my PPI dose too. I'm going to.educate myself on your surgery though because i.Don't know enough about it and I feel like i.should know what my WLS brothers and sisters go through

    2nd Week post op

    During liquid I ate: Yogurt, blended soups, jello, sugar-free popsicles, Fairlife milk (has WAY more protein than regular milk and no lactose), chicken broth, sugar-free pudding It's rough - but it's really a pretty short amount of time. I just graduated to Pureed diet and that transition is going slowly. My new tummy doesn't like some of the foods. I didn't digest pureed ground turkey well...at all. It is definitely a lot of trial and error! Best of luck to you!
