Now that I have finally had the gastric sleeve surgery, I'm still in shock that I got it! Like, I can't wrap my head around the fact that my stomach is now really small. I'm doing pretty well by my standards. My left side is bruised so bad it looks like someone painted me purple. Eating has been going really well. I haven't thrown anything up (knock on wood). I'm very sensitive to pain medication because I have chronic migraines, but that actually hasn't been too bad either. I am having the Post-op blues though. Was this pain worth it? Can I really change my diet? When can I just eat solid foods again! And I'm really done with sugar free things! Did anyone else have to be on sugar free popcicles, pudding, and yogurt? We're you ever able to switch back? I sometimes have pain in my chest after I eat and I tend to burn a little and that hurts too. Is that normal? Thank you for any input you might have.

I Learned My Lesson. Do Not Do A Strenuous Hike Without A Carb Load
Catracks replied to Catracks's topic in Fitness & Exercise
Yes congratulations on the century ride. I am so in awe of you athletes. I had a 6 oz Greek yogurt with half a dozen fresh chopped cherries this morning for Breakfast. That is pushing it with my still tiny sleeve. YUM! -
K, I was banded on 6/20 and have horrible gas pains too. That is from the surgery. They have to blow up your cavity in order to operate. It will go away, you need to walk and if Gasex helps take that. I have not felt depressed but am very hungry and grouchy! I am still on Clear Liquids and will be able to add yogurt tomorrow! Can't wait. I've lost 13 lbs so far. Good luck

I'm not sure what your Dr's requirements are. Mine is yogurt is fine as long as its under 10g of sugar per serving. I love the Dannon Lite and fit, both the regular and greek versions are low suger, usually 7-8g per serving. The greek is 12g of protein too. I found mine at Walmart.

I was sleeved on sept 20th. I am down 48 lbs! Very happy and noticed that I am losing weight in places like my elbows and noticed my arms are smaller. I have gotten into a routine of med taking and protein drinks. I work in a hospital but the cafeteria usually has good choices for me. I am eating lots of Greek yogurt, chili, lunchmeat, chicken salad. Things are going great. No nausea, and I've only gotten sick one time- because I ate a piece of cake. I wanted it so bad! But now I've learned to just have a bite and I'm good. I admit I'm not exercising enough. But I use the elliptical about three times a week. Very happy I did this!

Nephrectomy, One Kidney Concerns
Sleevorama replied to Artichokes's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Well, kind of, lol. I haven't been able to do the shakes or fruit drinks or anything yet.....they have been the only thing that make me ill. Now, that being said, I am only 3 wks out of surgery and my NUT said it was not uncommon in the first month to not be able to hit the required protein. I eat Greek yogurt, and pureed bean soups and such so I can get some protein in, but as far as someone telling me to limit my intake, haven't heard that yet. -
I am 5 months post RNY and I get dumping. Can’t remember the first time I had it. Sometimes it’s because I’ve eaten something that’s not so healthy, sometimes it’s with a healthy food that I have been eating regularly. They are not always carbs, sometimes food such as yogurt triggers it. My dumping generally manifests as shakiness, palpitations and generally feeling weird. I do not get the runs which is what most people seem to think dumping is.

What can you tolerate and when
SusieQ2019 replied to always's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I am in my sixth weeks after sleeve and my meals includes, yogurt, bean soup with vegetables, eggs and protein shakes. I had a little chicken yesterday and it felt stuck, so I am crossing off chicken for now. I stopped eating cheese because it was causing constipation and plus high in fat. It't looks like your tiny stomach is telling you what it likes for now. Continue with sipping the soups, and drink protein shakes if you can until you can tolerate other food. Don't force it. Good luck! -
1 week out, paranoid about sleeve stretching
chef neil replied to luvbugz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi- first take a deep breath- breath and enjoy life... now- make your lists... lay out your vits daily or weekly... done... make a list of meals B-L-D. post on fridge... done...\ the thing I found is some days I can gulp Water, no prob- next day not so good... so take it slow... while you are rehabilitating, is the time to get organized, clean out cupboards etc. make your house clean- eating wise. now plan a time to exercise... the way it works is how you work the program... like any program, you have to make the effort. you are "all in" on this- now that 85% of your stomach is removed... the game is to make sure you become healthier, by following the program. I have had a coupla speed bumps in my road -3 weeks out... my first move is to get over them... mainly eating... it's a physical problem - I still went out and enjoyed live music tonight and the sunset. now my spoon of cottage cheese and a spoon of yogurt are going to be consumed. Good Luck! -
Over a year at goal with pics
pasquini replied to pasquini's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Hey, well during my losing phase my goals were 6-800 cals, 80 grams Protein 60-80 non flour non potato carbs. And shot for 80 oz Fluid I ate a lot of greek yogurt (still do) and beef Jerky. As far as work outs I started walking and jogging worked up too 3 miles 3x's a week. As I continued to lose i began to run more often and longer runs as well. -
Haven't had any fills yet, get first fill in a couple of weeks. I can pretty much eat anything I want, but have been limiting the amount. I eat mostly protein and then maybe some kind of vegetable. Protein keeps you feeling fuller longer. Sometimes a greek yogurt for snack. If I eat too much I get an uncomfortable feeling and also start hiccuping. I've heard it sometimes takes several fills before you feel restriction.

FREE Nutrition advice
ncgypsygirl replied to urwhatueat's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for the offer of free advice! I'll take you up on it. I'm 5 days post-op so I'm in the liquid stage - Protein Shakes, broths, sugar-free popsicles and pudding, and lite yogurt, along with liquids like Crystal Lite and Water are my options right now. With that said, I'm STARVING. And I'm not talking about head hunger...those gnawing pains and growls from my tummy are hunger. I'm curious to know how long after you were banded did you get to the 1200 calorie minimum? My Protein shakes have 15g protein, but only 70 calories each, so I may need to look for different shakes. Also, I'm already at about 60 ounces of liquids per day plus a popsicle and a little container of sf pudding. Is this too much too fast? My instructions from the doc say to sip slowly and increase as tolerated. But the hospital nutritionist told me that it would likely take several weeks to get to the point where I could handle 64 ounces of liquid and 60 grams of protein. I don't want to do any damage, but I also don't want to become dehydrated because I'm not getting enough liquids. And I don't think I'm drinking too much because I've had no reflux, no pain, etc....no indications that I'm overdoing it. I'm just worried because I seems to be taking in more than the nutritionist thought I would. I've left her (and the nurse at my surgeon's office) a voice mail, but no response yet. Any advice would be appreciated. PS - If it matters, I logged my intake for the past two days and I'm having about 350 cals/55g protein. -
I had 0.5cc put in Wednesday and it was just too much. It takes me an hour to choke down yogurt. I assume the doctor knows best about how much to take out, but as I'm private pay for my visits, I don't want her to take out too much. I have to say though, I'd much rather have all 0.5 out and go back to where I was than be stuck feeling like this!! I can't imagine why people would go around feeling like this on purpose. Anyway, not that I can eat much anyway, but I assume I have to be Clear liquids the day of an unfill too?

Every doctor and every person is so different. I had my first fill just 3 1/2 weeks post op and my doctor put in 4 ccs. I felt absolutely nothing. I went back last Thursday (2 weeks later) and he put in another 3 ccs for a total of 7ccs. I felt the difference before I even left the office. I had a hard time that day even getting in my Clear liquids, but woke up the next morning and had thin oatmeal, yogurt for lunch, then a regular dinner. I feel the full "restriction" much quicker but have had no problems. Most people that I have heard from tell me that having 7 ccs, 5 weeks post op is pretty aggressive, but it feels "right" to me. I think it is important to listen to your body and hopefully you can trust you doctor to make judgements that are in your best interest.

Im tired of eating meat and eggs Is there anything else i can have and still lose the weight?
Djmohr replied to Lorenita Vee's topic in Vegetarian or Vegan Eating
I am one of those people that have never been a huge meat eater but I do eat some. I drink a premier Protein shake every morning, it has 30 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar. I also eat cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, protein enriched granola, salads with different Proteins on them, beef jerkey, nuts, vegetables and fruits. If I ate Beans that would be another valuable protein resource. I stick to healthy meats and quality vegetables and I don't get hungry. It is when you eat too many empty calorie carbs when you get hungry. The pouch test is absolutely the way to go to get back on track. I would suggest giving it another try. Good luck to you! -
Cant Believe I did this 2 Myself!
lapband4meNOW replied to Marissa424's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey Kjojojr. Thanks for the input. Can you tell me what cream soups you ate during this liquid phase. I would love to know? So, you can pretty much eat anything now? You don't feel deprived? I think I am feeling deprived right now and getting depressed over it. I never realized my relationship with food until now. It was like a slap in the face. When I came home from the hospital, my husband had made chicken for the kids. I wasn't hungry, but I wanted the chicken very badly. It was in that moment, I knew my relationship with food was way more than what I thought it was. I thought it was bad choices and too much food. I realized at that moment that I seek food for comfort. It was so strange as it evoked all these crazy emotions which I am still feeling right now. I couldn't sleep so I got up and I on here. Needing your guy's support. Which you never fail to give me. LOVE YOU FOR THAT...don't know what I would do without it. I go back and forth. I feel like I want to tell the doctor on my post op check..TAKE IT OUT!! Then I think..what the hell am I thinking. I started getting freaked out at the idea of something being inside me. Anyway, not sure if anyone else has actually had thoughts of 'taking it out'... But if you could tell me what cream soups you had, that would be great! Did you have to puree them? I just am not finding the puree'd soups very good. Kinda grosses me out. So, I have be doing the protien shakes, V8, the dannons yogurt smoothies, Jello, and I sucked on a candy kiss and get this..I sucked on a piece of chicken and spit it out so I wouldn't swallow it. I was horrified at myself for doing it too. But it satisfied some need. I wasn't really hungry, just wanted to taste some regular food. Ya, the emotional side is surprising to me because I am not normally that emotional and pretty practical about things. It is a reality check. THANKS GUYS! -
Okay, was sleeved May 28 so almost 4 weeks. Husband bought me this kickass blender and said I should have more fun with coming up with new shake ideas.... So, here's what I did; 1/2 cup egg white (5p/100cal) 1 scoop New Whey Vanilla (30p/100cal) 2 scoop Ensira Chocolate (24p/200cal) 1 cup Greek yogurt plain (23p/120cal) 1 cup Almond milk Unsweetned Vanilla (1p/30 cal) 1 Tsp Chocolate SF pudding mix and 1/2 tsp vanilla 1/2 banana I figure this is 83 to 85 Protein and 550 cal. Since I'm only 4 weeks out and still liquid/soft food only and I thought this was a sure thing. Thoughts please..... need to know if this is good idea. I plan on using the SF pudding and jello mixes for flavor fun

Greek yogurt is also a great source of protein.

Creamy Stage Day 1
mistysj replied to onedaycloser's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Of course you can have ham. Just purée it. Same with chicken. You probably should have blended the eggs too. Eggs are not creamy (I assume you scrambled them). Smooth peanut butter would have been better. I don't have a problem with a but of mashed potato but add some cheese or protein powder. you can have cottage cheese, I bet. And yogurt. -

Hi rajgrover, I had my lap-band procedure almost 4 weeks ago. I used Dr. Ren as well - great choice. She was really quick with my procedure and I really had a great experience with her. I was a little scared myself. once I was on the operating table the anesthesiologist explained what he was doing and I was out in minutes. Dr. Ren said hello and I was out a few seconds later. They have so many people in the operating room I can assure you they will not have a problem moving you to your bed. You won't know what's going on either way and you'll wake up in the recovery room. Once you're in your room a nurse will assist you and walk you to the bathroom (she will not come inside with you.) I don't know anybody else that had the procedure that had a bed pan or catheter. I got a little dizzy the first time I went to the john but after the first time it was much easier. They really want to make sure you urinate as soon as possible since they want to make sure you got the anesthesia out of your body and not sitting in your bladder. I felt absolutely nothing until after my surgery. I did have some pain but the meds I was given really took the edge off things and the pain went away pretty quickly. Make sure you walk around as much as possible after your surgery. I have 5 stairs leading to my house and I didn't have any problems. I asked Dr. Ren and she said that wasn't a problem. I'd ask her if I were you since she makes her decisions case by case. While Dr. Ren was operating on me she noticed that I had a Hiatal Hernia. She "fixed" it while she was in there and believe it or not I am totally cured of my acid reflux I'd been suffering for some time! I did have gas pains for a few days in my shoulders and other areas. These symptoms are very common and I've heard the more you move around the faster the gas dissipates. I drank bottled fat and sugar free flavored yogurts, "naked" (that's a brand name) fruit juices, slim fasts, and low calorie broths. Good luck with your surgery! You'll do fine, quit worrying and start planning a new you
