A bit of tough love here....are pancakes and spaghetti os on your approved list? Mashed potatoes? This is just my opinion but the choices you are making can lead to some problems with cravings. The more carbs you eat, the more you will crave them. eggs, tuna, chicken, turkey, yogurt, cottage cheese - items high in Protein will keep you more satisfied for longer periods of time while those carbs are actually the worst thing you can do in this early stage. Also eating processed pre packaged foods like spaghetti os is something my nut told me to stay away from forever. It may be why you are having so many cravings so soon. Half the battle is the head games. How much protein are you currently getting?

Thanks for the info. I am 5 days post op and not getting anywhere near the required protein. Doing the best that I can. Actually having some yogurt that I didn't thin with milk because my stomach feels so hungry! Trying to sip all day long but it's difficult. I keep saying to myself that this too shall pass:) -

You could try foods that are both high protein and high carb, like yogurt, beans, and tofu? -

I had surgery 8/19 Dr James Ray also, I was understanding clear liquids only day and day after surgery then liquids skim milk broth coffee sugar free koolaid and Jello, yogurt drinks ensure juice instant breakfast drink tea crystal light popicicles and v8 juice that has helped me, I had got chinese soup just the broth and had froze it up. I do like that but may not after all of this. My problem is my shoulder is hurting really bad wish that would quit.

Also, when you start pureed fish or mashed eggs, make them as moist as possible. I add a little mayo or greek yogurt. Helps a lot -
Diet Pills during Post-Op?
WrenBird replied to RoxyChick's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Please understand that I mean my responses in the NICEST possible way. You still need a lot of willpower for the band to be successful. The band does 1/4 of the work, you have to have the willpower to do the rest. Some people get the band because they're hungry all the time...I'm sure if you told a thin person who's hungry to stop eating, they wouldn't. Where I'm from a doctor will only approve a patient for LAP-BAND if they've tried everything else and failed. I'm assuming this is going to be different in other places, but I think it's a pretty important factor...I think that surgery should be the last resort. Lucky. For some reason appetite suppressants didn't work as well for me as the band did...I don't think you should regret the band until you get your first fill. I felt the same way :-) You need to do what's best for you. No judgement here on that one! Uhhh...I don't quite know how to answer your question then lol. I felt the same way as you did (except I may have been a bit more pissed off than you). I was in depression for a few weeks after the band because it wasn't supressing my appetite. After I'd had a fill I felt great and everything went fine. I know how agonisingly annoying it is to hold back from food, but it gets easier. So far I've lost 15 kilos in under 2 months. That's 33 lbs. I didn't really start losing my weight until I got a fill. I exercise for 10 hours a week and don't eat refined sugar or carbs. For me that's been as tough as hell to overcome. I remember sitting in my bed thinking about the full fat yogurt downstairs in the fridge and crying to myself. Yes, crying. I then remembered eating a giant pizza right before my surgery and crying AFTER that...I think knowing how bad I'll feel after eating it is my greatest motivation to keep away from food. I really hope this works out for you. I know this isn't something you wanna here but...It gets easier :-P -
I'm doing great!!! no nausea or anything, getting all my water and stuff. Pre op diet is just 3 days yogurt and water. I didn't lose anything pre op LOL I had a great experience with Dr Ponce and Trish! if you haven't already check out my pics in the link in my signature, it really helped me to feel more comfortable after seeing a couple other people's photos on here

Pre-op diet tips?
lizonaplane replied to LizzLosingIt's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told I could have tuna fish with light miracle whip or light mayo, chicken breast with curry/mustard/light mayo or a little bit of sugar free bbq sauce, salad with dressings that were 50 calories or less per serving (I have to keep carbs to 50 grams/day or less). I plan to eat a lot of salads with chopped deli meat or tuna because after surgery it will be a while before I can eat salad again and I love salad. I like the bolthouse yogurt ranch and it's 45 calories for 2 tbsp (30g). It's the the refrigerator case in the produce section usually. I have to have light greek yogurt or a protein shake for breakfast. -
liquids only -- pre-op diet
Michele123 replied to OnMyWeighDown's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, I'm getting banded on the 13th also. I'm so excited. I really haven't told many people. Just don't want tohave to explain. I'm on a liquid/soft diet. The yogurt helps. At least I feel like I'm eating something. It really hasn't been too bad. What did they tell you about carbinated drinks? My dr. hasn't said anything yet but most posts I've seen say you can't have soda. -
I need help with a horrible stall! Any advice to kick start things?
megansmommy123 posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm 7 months post op, and have lost 98 pounds. I want so badly to hit that 100 pound mark, but I just cant seem to get there. I've been bouncing the same 2 pounds back and forth since early December. I know most of it was Christmas. I ate more than I should, and ate things I shouldn't have. But for the last 2 weeks I have really been back on track, and still nothing! I got down to 1 tenth away from my goal, then will gain a pound again. I went back to the basics, and started tracking all my food intake. I am staying between 900-1100 calories per day, drinking lots of Water, at least 80 grams of Protein per day, staying under my limits for carbs and sugar. I just don't know what I am doing wrong? I know my exercise specialist said this was to be expected at this stage, and it happens to everyone. He said you wont see a loss for awhile, but you are still losing inches. And it will cycle back and forth every month. He said to only worry if I don't see a loss for 2 months in a row. But I'm getting close to that 2 month mark, and still no loss. Any ideas on how to break a massive stall? Here's my food for the last 2 days, any advice? Breakfast: 2 envelopes sugar free hot cocoa 1 dannon light and fit greek yogurt Lunch: 1/2 cup raw carrots 1/4 cup raw snap peas 1/4 cup hummus Snack: Isopure Protein shake Dinner: 4 ritz crackers 2 tablespoons Peanut Butter 1/4 cup cottage cheese Totals: Calories: 927 Carbs 32 Fat 32 Protein 93 Sugar 30 Breakfast: Sugar free Cappuccino Tomato juice Dannon light and fit greek yogurt Snack: Isopure protein shake Lunch: Grilled shrimp greek olives and feta Dinner: Grilled Mahi Mahi cooked carrots and snow peas Calories: 959 Carbs 66 Fat 23 Protein 120 Sugar 40 -

Meredith replied to Mimismom's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
What is your protein intake looking like? I'm 9 months out and down 139lbs to 186. My original goal was 180, but since I've been loosing so easily, I do believe I could get down to 160 and muscle up a lot more for definition, etc. I still drink a 30g protein shake every morning and sometimes one for lunch/dinner or a 30g protein bar then eat a few things here and there. I've been staying away from carbs, pastas, and pretty much anything that isn't good for me, but I have taken a liking to "Baked Naturals" crackers... they are SO DELISH! Cashews are my go-to munchy food, and I buy stock in eggs and 8x protein flavored Greek yogurt. In October, I was supposed to get blood work done and have another follow-up appointment, but we've been strapped with money, and I've been putting it off. I've been good on multivitamins, etc. so I don't feel like anything is wrong. The weight loss has slowed down, but that just means that I need to up my exercise and quit snacking so much throughout the day. Average pounds lost each month is now 8-9 depending on water and whatever else. I say keep up the good work, everyone! From what I read here and there, you all seem to be doing great! -
Can I have some yogurt now ?!
Melanie89 replied to natarshassleeve's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey I'm from the UK and I had yogurt in my 2nd week it's a slider food so will go down nicely. I'm coming up to 3 weeks post surgery and I'm on soft food I must admit I skipped onto soft food few days earlier I shouldn't have but I did I got soo bored of liquids. The American plan seems so much stricter than ours. Sent from my SM-G901F using the BariatricPal App -

Delish recipe - no bake chocolate cheesecake
elfnow replied to elfnow's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
(BTW one serving = 1/8 of the dessert, 4 oz yogurt) -
I was sleeved on 11/8 and had to spend one week on Clear liquids. I have now moved to Full Liquids. My diet consist of the following: Milk, soy milk or rice milk fruit juice Soup (blended into full liquid) frozen yogurt or sorbet (fat free) pudding or custard (sugar free) vegetable juice Cream of Wheat Yogurt Then my documents it says daily recommeneded intake is 60-70grams of Protein per day. Does this just apply to when I get the soft foods stage? If I am only suppose to eat 3 meals a day and drink 12 cups of water/liquid per day I am confused. My plan for this week was to eat the following: Breakfast: Cream of Wheat Lunch: Yogurt Dinner: Jello Drink: 1 cup of apple juice and 1 cup of almond milk (not on my list but I think it will fall under the milk) during day plus 10 cups of Water If hungry: Add in a either beef broth or tomato soup if I need salty or a sugar free pudding if I need sweet like or if for any reason I need to mix up one the above items. Exercise: 30 minute walk per day So my questions are: 1. Do I have to worry about the protein intake at this stage? 2. Does the meal plan I have look reasonable for Week 2? 3. How much is a serving of Yogurt (2 ozs)? 4. How much is a serving of Cream of Wheat (2 ozs)? (Today I was able to eat about 5-6 teaspoons full for Breakfast before I felt full) 5. At this stage do I have to worry about getting "enough" calories? If so what should be the goal? -
@bnm4. I only can tolerate 1/2 scoop or it affects the flavor and texture. I really like adding it to tomato basil soup. Kind of makes it feel like I'm eating spaghetti sauce rather than just soup. But I add it to yogurt and cottage cheese as well. I try to keep each meal under 25 grams of protein because I hear you don't absorb any more than that at one time.
-
@@bnm4 I am definitely eating more. I get in 800 calories a day. I get the shakes and feel horrible if I don't. I'm still mostly on liquids with cottage cheese and yogurt added in. To get my protein up, I add Unjury unflavored protein to almost everything. I have good muscle mass and hair I want to keep! I can start more puréed foods, I've just been kind of disinterested in going into the cooking mode yet. I eat some soups, but they're really high in sodium. I wish I could pay someone to be my personal bariatric chef!

Today Makes 14 Weeks
hope4momof4 replied to Luv Life's topic in Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty Forum
WOW!! That weight loss is amazing!! So inspirational Luv LIfe!! Your meals are small and healthy which our tool helps with but the rest is all YOU!!! Your exercise regimen is impressive and that is what I believe has helped you lose even more. You really did get the best out of this procedure and I hope that your success continues. Have you had any stalls? I'm stalled at the moment. Tomorrow it will be 4 weeks for me post op and I've only lost 12 pounds. I did have a stall before and upping my water intake helped me break through it. I'm going to try that again. If you have any tips for me it would be much appreciated on how to get past the stall. Here's my daily routine and food plan more or less, please help me tweak it to get better results: Breakfast--- green smoothie (protein shake with green veggies and berries added in with water and some almond milk) Lunch-- 3-4 egg whites with broccoli Dinner-- one of the following--- lentil soup, 4 oz, baked salmon, chicken strips with veggies stir fried, chili, or a small portion of the dinner my family had--- has to be soft because I'm still in the puree stage Snacks throughout the day--- nonfat greek yogurt, sugar free jell-o, sugar free popsicle, bone broth, sugar free fudgesicle, occasionally sugar free pudding but not often because it sets off my sweet tooth I only drink Protein premier clear protein drink, water, sometimes crystal light. I do cardio exercise 3-4 times a week for about 35-40 minutes each time. I cheated once with some vanilla creme filled cookies and man did I pay the price for that!! Horrible gas pains, heartburn, and then the dumping came which actually provided relief but I threw out the rest of the box in case I got crazy again. Any suggestions? With love and support always!!! -
Ok I have some of my usual digs at costco or TJ but Im sure I'm overlooking some great finds and Protein opportunities. What's your "must haves"? Here's mine: Costco: Tortilla Crusted Tilapia (frozen. 18g pro. So good!!) Chobani or Dannon Greek yogurt packs Fage yogurt Light babybel Premier Protein Persian cucumbers (my new "chips") Turkey meatballs (frozen. 2 fill me up) King crab legs (expensive but my fav food) Ceviche Mozzarella cheese The El Torito salad kit TJ vanilla yogurt No Pudge Brownie Mix Stuffed bell peppers. (So tasty) Black bean Indian spiced veg patties Frozen fruit mix

Started the liquid diet
dlappjr replied to kdelrosso's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I tried so many different Protein shakes. It was a little pricey but I found some that I could tolerate much better than other ones. Its such a personal taste thing though. I like the Bariatric Advantage Orange Cream and banana. They were both good. I also like the Pure Protein Banana Creme ready to drink, in a can. Vitamin Shoppe makes a real good chocolate Mint. I am a vanilla guy, not a huge fan of chocolate but these things were amazeballs. whey Tech Pro 25 Chocolate Mint. Also, If you have not done this yet, its so worth it. nectar has a deal where you can get single serve sample packs of their flavors pretty cheap. You can only do it once, but gives you an opportunity to try their flavors. http://www.si03.com/EMAIL/nectar_gng_sampler/nectarsampler.html I also used the protein powders in the plain oikos non fat yogurt. That helps get more protein in. I also liked the Isopure prtein drinks. Its not as thick, more like gatorade but its an acquired taste. Hope these ideas can help. -

kdelrosso replied to kdelrosso's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you everyone for your advice !! I'm trying to get as much protein in as I can so that's why I chose the premiere. After this second drink and my yogurt I'll be at 75g for the day. Then I'll snack on soup or something. I appreciate all the advice and support ! -
