No weight loss since week 1
skinnygirlwithin replied to kolodey's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
you have just gone through a major organ surgery... just follow the diet plan your NUT & Doc put in place for you... everyone goes through some kind of stall or period of time without weight loss... your body just has to catch up... it will happen... just make sure you are getting in your Water & Protein every day and start walking. Good Luck!!! -
New Whey is a liquid protein that comes in a "shot size" type bottle. It has 42 gm protein per 4 oz. I mix half of it with 12-16 oz of water and that gives you 21 gm of protein. They come in grape, watermelon and acai berry. They taste pretty good and aren't as heavy as the shakes.

Good luck to you. Be sure to ask lots of questions if you have them. And follow those instructions! Be patient with yourself after surgery, you will have a hard time initially being able to get all of your liquids and Proteins in, but it you will get there. Keep us posted and know that you have cheerleaders her for you! Anna

Saw my new dietitian. Loved her. She was very down to earth, very straight forward and direct. Loved that. I told her about the questions that my trainer has, as far as supplements and such post workout. She made some small changes in her recommendations for Protein, and changed my Protein powder to a different one that contains extra amino acids for post workout. She also increased my daily protein a bit and increased my carbs a bit. Tomorrow I have my first session with my new lifting trainer, SO excited!!! I'm back. HERE I AM!!

Your body understands carbs as fuel.it is just trying to refuel after your work out.Atkins has good low carb protein bars.Try one of them after a work out.Good luck :-)

I didn't worry about how much Water or food I was taking in during the 1st and 2nd week. My sleeve was still swollen and there wasn't much room. I was eating about 1/2 popsicle and whatever water I could take in per day, the 1st week. On the 2nd week, I was eating about 1/2 can of Cream of Mushroom Soup per day and whatever water I could take in. It wasn't till about week 4 that I was able to get in the recommended daily Protein and water. Keep pimpin that sleeve!

Others finding solid foods unpleasant?
CheleLynn45 replied to Lallylocks's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel very similar. I eat one small Protein filled meal a day plus two shakes per my doc. I look forward to eating my dinner with my family, but once I start I do feel full pretty fast and full for a longer times. I am only 7 weeks post op. -
My doctor never worried about carbs unless someone wasn't losing. Protein was suppose to be between 60 - 80 grams per day. I'd keep protein up, calories down!

Lolly - have you tried PB2? It's like a powdered peanut butter, and 2 Tbsp has like 57 cal, less than 2 gms fat and 5 gms protein - I bought some and also put in my protein shakes - SO yummy! You can add it to lots of things as you are able to eat them again to make it peanut butter flavored - supposedly you can also mix it with water to make it like peanut butter (but without all the calories/fat) - haven't tried that yet.

EAT (don't drink) your Protein. liquids do not provide a feeling of satiety because they pass through the band so quickly. Eat your meals as the dietician recommends. If you get hungry in less than four hours snack on SOLID protein...low fat cottage cheese (12-14 grams in a serving), a boiled egg, an ounce of low fat cheese. Once you get a couple of fills, you will find that you can go longer before you get hungry and eventually you should be able to go 4 or even 5 hours before you get hungry.

Hello 10 Weeks Out 1St Stall
Territravel replied to Shun's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree completely with Sassy. Stalls are going to happen. Keep getting in your protein, and fluids. Try upping your exercise, and get out the tape measure. I've found, on the weeks when I didnt lose much, I've dropped inches. -
That's a good point; I hadn't really thought of absorption after surgery. Obviously, being ER, I can't crush, chew, or otherwise make it more digestable for my new stomach. I am at a middle of the road dose, so lowering the dose is certainly on option, as is changing to some other med. My dream would be to lose enough weight where my back isn't supporting so much of me and I can drastically reduce what I have to take to function. Even if it doesn't work out exactly that way, I have an amazing pain management doctor who has been treating me for years that is fantastic about trying different things to help me determine what works for my body. It'll just be more of that, after surgery! ~Kat

Talk to your pain management doctor. Does it come in a liquid or dissolvable option? I take a couple of medications (not for pain) and I can get a liquid or dissolvable option for after surgery.

I use the BE Inspire Protein powder mixes and absolutely love all the flavors I've tried. There is no after taste and it's not chalky tasting either. My favorite flavor is chocolate Covered Cherries. I just got the new Blueberry Cheesecake flavor and love it too. I mix it with Carbmaster milk I buy from Kroger. I've also mixed it with almond milk.

Is this thick? Is there a chemical smell or taste? Need a new product and not sure what to buy. Thanks in advance

Is There Something Wrong With Me? I Have No Problem W/3-4 Oz
Isabel'sGma posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I keep reading on here about people having a hard time getting in 1 Tbsp of food or things like that but for me, since Dr said I could be on soft diet, I have no problem with 3-4 ounces of Protein. Today is the end of the 2nd full day and my calories are around 600/day and I have eaten taco cupcakes cheese, chicken, etc. Am I eating too much? I am not what you would call hungry, but have not problem eating the 3 oz portion I measure out. Help? -

I travelled for work 2 1/2 weeks after surgery. Flew from Phoenix to Jacksonville and in meetings for 3 days. I brought protein drinks and bars and was careful with my eating. No issues at all.

New premier protien flavor in my area
DJ's Mom replied to busybeebug's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@busybeebug I was wondering if it taste good. Our Sam's Club has them $18.99 for a 12 pack. I bought the vanilla to give it a try and it's not bad. They had banana, chocolate and Vanilla. @@trekker954 I didn't know there was a caramel one. I'm going to be on the look out for that one. I like that it's really high in Protein and it doesn't taste bad. I just wish the containers were made of something different. -
Hi everyone, I'm New to BariatricPal but many posts have been very helpful throughout my short journey. I can't wait to continue being motivated by reading about everyone else's struggles similar to mine and success stories I aspire to accomplish. Best of luck to all! So today is my 10th day post op, & had an appointment with my NUT i was hoping she'd say I was good for mushy foods because I was so sick of protein shake at this point. 2 weeks pre op & 10 days post op liquid diet. Turns out she did give me the go ahead and I went home for some beans and low fat melted cheese... First, the cheese didn't melt all the way (gross) almost like imitation cheese. Second, the moment I ate the first baby spoon I immediately had gas like lil burp bubbles coming up. It continued for the whole 1st ounce and the 1/2 ounce after that was fine but I did have a slight stomach ache afterwards that took me to the restroom. I'm a lil scared it might have been too soon to go off liquids, I'm so sick of protein shakes and was looking forward to some kind of food other than broth. How was your first experience??? Should I hold off on trying again or is this a normal reaction?

I recently received a cookbook with recipes geared towards people who have had weight loss surgery. A lot of the recipes call for unflavored or vanilla flavored protien powder. I have only been drinking one kind of protien drink that is premade because I know they are good and haven't ventured past that. But it's time for a change because they are becoming BORING and I'm in the process of getting motivated again and don't want to start out bored already. Would like some ideas of other ones that are also good that I could use in cooking or making my own smoothies so I have more variety than just chocolate! thanks!
