12 Days Post Op
SophieJaneB replied to SugeilyMunoz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm also 12 days post op. I feel like i'm a newborn, eating every 2 hours, lol. I eat about every 2-3 hours, about 2 tablespoons at a time. Sipping throughout the day. I should do better about tracking the portions, but portions are so small its hard to measure. On full liquids, I eat protein Atkins advantage shakes, yogurt, pudding, and creamy soups (blended in the blender). and fudgesicles. (all the above are the sugar free/no sugar added versions, except the soups. -
Sleeve gastrectomy with functional obstruction from angulation
Moon123 posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I had my sleeve surgery on 3/8/2013 ,i am 2 weeks post op and from day one I have been having a lot of discomfort , pain and spasms in the abdomen ,things started to worsen last week when I had episodes of vomiting after I drink any liquid or even after my chewable vitamins ,my surgeon ordered barium test that showed no leak but v narrow area where liquid is barely passing,I cant not tolerate things like cream of wheat,Greek yogurt ,i would vomit anything other than warm to hot liquids and I was starting to get dehydrated ,I was admitted to hospital for IV fluids and endoscopy to see what was going on! This morning I had the endoscopy which showed a functional obstruction in the sleeve and a stent was put to keep the obstructed area open ,the endoscopy dr said it must be removed after 6 weeks ,I am at hospital with bad pain and severe nausea ,I just wanted to share my experience and to see if anyone had a stent ?also I was told that after removing the stent in 6 weeks and evaluation I may need another one.I am so frustrated,confused ,I was not expecting all this after my surgery. -
April 9th is my date and big time nervous
Sleeve4me! replied to nancy264's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm with you. I can't wait for eggs! I'm hoping I'll get the thumbs up for puréed/mashed by Wednesday. I am struggling to eat anything. I drink about 40 oz of Water today and get down whatever else I can. Protein drinks make me nauseous. I am so sick of sweet tasting foods! I eat Greek yogurt, pudding, Jello, Popsicles, broth, etc. and everything is sugar free. I hate artificial sweeteners, but if I must eat them for now, then I must. To make a long story short, I'm not eating much. I'm not hungry either. All of the foods I can eat are off-putting. I know I need to eat, so I continue to try to get something in me. Going to heat up some soup now. By the way, I can only eat about 1/3 cup soup and it takes a bit. Yeah eggs sound so good and refried Beans too! I'm like you and tired of all the sweets. I can eat a whole 8oz of soup before being full. I also still get hungry which I thought would go away. I know I'm only 9 days out but I am worried I am going to fail at this too. -
There is a recipes section on this site. Not sure if you have had a chance to look at it or not. Also there is a site called "the world according to eggface", it has a lot of bariatric recipes. I would definately suggest making a good homemade chicken stock for your liquid phase. Use carrots, celery, onions, chicken, Water, salt, pepper, garlic if you like it. For most this becomes a lifesaver during both preop and post op liquid phases. Trust me, you will be sick of Protein shakes and needing something warm and comforting to sip on. It helps with hunger too during preop. I made homemade chicken cacciatore using boneless chicken breasts, mushrooms, onion, green pepper, garlic and your favorite marinara sauce. I then vacuume sealed it in 2/3 oz. portions and froze them. When I wanted to eat, I simply dropped one in boiling water to heat through. I bought a vacuum sealed after another bariatric pal suggested it. It is one of the best tools in my kitchen given my need for tiny little portions, especially the first 6 months. I would bring home leftovers from the restaurant and get 2/3 more meals or more out of 1. I made a lot of different chicken, ground beef, ground chicken/turkey dishes. In the beginning casseroles are not recommended. Stick with Proteins with Fat free gravies or sauces to help them slide down easily. I would go to the eggface site to get some good purée ideas. I personally did not do well in that phase and lived on yogurt, Protein Shakes and cottage cheese. Good luck to you!

My gut is PISSED OFF! 2 month old newbie needs help! Offer some keto guidelines?
GeTnBackuP posted a topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Hello. I’ve had some success on keto and Atkins type diets in the past and I am curious how they work post op and more than a little nervous to start it up again now since they are basically higher fat and my past probs there...plus I’m only two months + post op. Lil backstory- I had my gallbladder taken out 11/2016 and a year later my body still hasn’t made up its mind on how to process fats (mainly dairy, meat based fats are tolerable) Some days I can totally tolerate minimal dairy (like in my morning coffee or some meat wrapped cheese/pickle meals). Other days I take one sip of my AM coffee and I bolt straight to the bathroom & for the rest of the day- this is low fat, whole milk, half and half or even full on heavy cream. I literally can drink/eat FULL fat one day and get the intestinal freak outs the next! I don’t get it! I had VSG on 10/31/2017 (2.5 mos) and still struggle having dairy back into my diet since I’m pretty much experiencing the same thing. Now I make my one morning coffee with chocolate Premier Protein shake and do OK but still struggle with any other dairy...cheese, low fat sour cream, yogurt...but I WANT TO COOK WITH THIS STUFF! PLUS I NEED THE CALCIUM. Ricotta bake- HELLO! I want to be able to eat that without excusing myself from the table after one bite. Can I do a modified Keto and/or Atkins type eating program that allows me to eat lower fat (mostly dairy) type foods and still be satisfied and lose weight? Maybe less fat and more protein? Is there something like that- toss in some whole greens maybe? I’m earnestly trying and reaching out for help so please don’t give me arrogant attitude. I enjoy most of you but geez the power trips here are sometimes too much...kinda like the trots I get lately many thanks and so much love and appreciation to all of you that offer kind supportive suggestions...Tess -

9days PostOp: Not hungry...barely eating
glitter eyes replied to ladycook9713's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hang in there it will get better. Also, just because you can't get your protein in early post op does not mean you are a failure. Post op I had a hard time getting my protein too. I could not tolerate the protein shakes and I tried many brands. I still to this day- nine months post op despise them. I just made sure I stayed very hydrated ( small sips) and I lived off Greek yogurt and strained soups until I got to the puréed stage. From there on out you can get your protein from food instead of shakes. I used all the protein powder I had to make protein pancakes( once I was able to eat solid food) and I also mix it with my Greek yogurt. I get my fair life milk at my local grocery store ( Publix) it taste just like regular milk but you get the bonus of double the protein. You will be a success. Lots of luck -
And I made myself sugar- free puddings or tapioca with stevia, used to like rice, but it balls up in my pouch, won't move on through so I Have to puke it up. And yes I do still urp and puke, very few days without it, I do not exceed the designated amounts, still happens. Just finally able to tolerate Greek Yogurt , it and cottage have always refluxed back up every since surgery, 2 other illogical things-Peanut butter, even PB2 powder, and bananas, doesn't matter how ripe they are. Don't try hiding these in smoothies, Precious Pouch knows and MUST have her way!

I was 5'7 and 250 on my surgery date. I am now 140 today. I don't want to lose any more weight. It will be a year June 30th. And yes it is very frustrating in the beginning but trust me you will continue to lose and reach ur goal! I always focused on my water and protein! My favorite snacks are peanuts, string cheese and yogurt. I still can't eat very much at a time so I focus on eating several times a day. I have had a breast lift and implants and arm lift. I plan to have a lower body lift in September. I had a lot of excess skin! Sorry if I forgot something....lol just ask!

6 MONTHS POSTOP WITH PIC! (X POSTED)
ShrinkyDinkMe22 replied to ShrinkyDinkMe22's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
hi there! a typical day in my sleeve: 630am Protein shake 930am cheese stick 1130am lunch - today was 3oz cooked cod loin with 3 stalks of asparagus 2pm greek yogurt - i eat the yoplait greeks, i think they are 5oz or so 6pm dinner - toinght will be turkey w/bacon meatloaf and some veggies i havent done the pouch test but i would say with dense protein and some veggies my sleeve holds about 6oz. if i eat slider foods i can definetly eat more than that. -
So I'm 5 weeks post op and I'm finding that I am struggling to eat protein sources. Fish, shellfish, meat, cheese, peanut butter, eggs, yogurt and the dreaded protein shakes! None of them are appetizing anymore and I'm having to force myself to eat them. I made some crust less quiche which helped for awhile but one can only eat so much of the same thing. Does anyone else have this issue and any advice or recipes that might help! I'm not one for bland foods so I need flavor. Thanks!

May 19-23 Sleevers, Roll Call!
melissaingr replied to ChavaBling's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Had my Surgery May 19 as well. Down 29 pounds at last appointment on 6/2/14. I have a very unreliable scale at home and it seems like I may be in a stall since then. I'm hoping its just the scale. Hahaha. Eating pureed foods. SO SICK of Protein shakes! Sticking to greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and refried Beans. I also found these frozen greek yogurt bars calld "YASSO" bars. There are so great and like 8 or 10g of protein. It was fun going back to work and having people notice the loss. Its mostly in my face, neck, and stomach. Everyone knows I had the surgery because I just figured if they are my friends they won't judge me, and if they judge me, they AREN'T my friends and I don't care what they think! Keep up the good work everyone! Breaking up with food IS hard but so worth it! -
I've been eating strawberries in my yogurt. Hmmm. Yikes

Can't get my protein in
Macy6 replied to time4me2013's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
you are only 10days out don't be so hard on your self. I didn't even attempt protein until day 11-12, I completely stuck to water. I started adding in once I was released to soft/fork mush and I have had absolutely no issues since. Anyway I really like greek yogurt with half a scoop of unflavored protein powder. Bumps it up to over 20g of protein. I am 4 weeks out now and easily get in 80-90g of protein a day. -

Help, 4 Days Out And Hungry! Voices Of Experience Needed Please!
jenni_867 replied to Believinginlisa's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yep head hunger. Eat sf popsicles. It will help with your fluid intake, but yet you'll feel like you're eating something. BTW, i can't believe you can even eat anything other than clears! I know all doctors have different diets, but my tummy wouldn't even allow me to hardly try jello. If i would've tried greek yogurt, i know it wouldn't have stayed down. Don't force yourself to eat if you can't. Concentrate on your fluids right now. -

Liquids after surgery
lauragshsu replied to suebydoo70's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon called is the "full liquid" phase. We were allowed to eat cream soups (like cream of mushroom, cream of potato, etc), yogurt, SF pudding and SF fudgesicles. -
Liquid preop begins today
pasquini replied to pasquini's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Thx again guys. I'm fairing all right. I have dropped the cottage cheese as of today and it is liquid and yogurt until sat night then clears only for Sunday Monday and surgery day on tues. Mid afternoon here and I am focusing ion drinking water. I have been surprise how it really has been fairly easy. Maybe because I had built it up to ne this huge thing in my head. Ironically all my friends have been calling me everyday to go to lunch, lol. But I was thinking about what I normally eat and already am like wow, that was so much more than I needed. -

6/09/09 - Day 2 of my 84 day Challenge
tonya66 commented on tonya66's blog entry in Sunshine2's (Tonya's) Journal
Yay, I did it! I got my happy fat butt up and went to the gym at 5:00 am this morning and did my cardio. Per the BFL challenge, I am to do my cardio 3x's per week first thing in the morning. So, today was cardio day, I sure didn't want to get up, but I forced myself up and did it. Feels so good to have won this morning! I didn't let my evil twin talk me into staying in bed, lol. Usually I get this little voice in my head and that says "oh, come on, you don't have to get up, you can work out tonight". But this time, I just got up and did it. Yay! Menu today: Bfast cottage cheese mixed with yogurt Meal 2 hummus (2 TBSP) carrots/tomatoes Meal 3 Turkey meatloaf edamame beans Meal 4 peach string cheese Meal 5 Stuffed Bell Pepper Wt - Didnt weigh this morning. -
I am the only one??
GetInMyBelly replied to FishingNurse's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have sf and ff everything. Low fat too and 0% or 2% yogurts. I am afraid to add more calories than necessary because I don't count. I just have three tablespoons of something three times a day and one protein drink and sf snacks twice a day. I don't understand how upping the calories helps lose weight. I was always taught less is more and will help weight drop faster. -
Programs are different. I didn't have a pre-op diet other than the typical NPO 12/24 hours prior to surgery. It was recommended to increase protein and veg. So do not worry if you don't have a pre-op diet. Some of us don't. It's also not uncommon for programs to recommend transitioning to real food as soon as possible. A year out I still start most days with a Protein Shake, but this was my habit pre-op. I make my own concoctions in the nutra bullet before I go to the gym. When I do supplement it's with Isopure unflavored powder. I'm vegetarian so most of my protein is from eggs, Beans and yogurt. Shakes are a personal preference and taste. You have to consider whether you want powder or RTD, milk based or clear drinks. The major ones are Premier Protein, Isopure, Syntrac nectar and unjury.

Hello. I am a month out (yesterday) from gastric bypass. I have had a very difficult time getting fluids and food down since surgery. I have gone twice for fluids due to becoming dehydrated. My Dr. has me on nausea medication that helps some. I'm struggling the last few weeks with throwing up even if I'm not nauseated. I've thrown up Fairlife milk, chicken broth, Greek yogurt, applesauce, even Popsicles from time to time. Anytime I put food or liquids in my stomach, I feel heavy and bloated. Has anyone dealt with this? Did it get better quickly? I'm barely eating more than 3-5 Wheat Thins a day and drinking Gatorade. I'm miserable and am not sure what to do.

9days PostOp: Not hungry...barely eating
samuelsmom replied to ladycook9713's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You might find unjury chicken broth works. Tastes good and has plenty of Protein. Good Luck. Will you be starting purees soon? That might make things easier. What about greek yogurt? That saved me in the early stages!
