No, there wasn't one. I was asked if I had reflux or acid problems, but I said no. I had always had the proverbial cast-iron stomach. Absolutely nothing bothered it. My mom used to joke that I could drink hydrochloric acid and it wouldn't bother me And, really, now that I'm back to soups and yogurts (can't really handle even mushy foods) I'm feeling so much better. I'm sleeping, I've started to get more energy, etc. I think I was really making myself much worse trying to eat solids. So for right now, I'm good with how it's going. Pity-party is officially over

Question for sleevers
GreenTealael replied to moondoggie1983's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went with pink, red, white beans earlier on simply because they were softer. I (my sleeve) still prefers them now. I'm 7.5 months post op I was around 250 at consultation, 238 surgery day, currently 170 Hidden sugars are everywhere so carefully read food labels (f-ing yogurt) I could only stomach the protein shakes in coffee (premier caramel) or tea (premier peaches and cream ) THE BEST HACK EVER I use myfitnesspal which accounts for all macros if you load it properly. Takes the guess work out of everything for me and I can generate a report for my NUT I'm still trying to find the ideal brand of vitamins too after I spilled an entire new jar of gummies while cleaning. I'm trying Walmart's organic vegetarian multi vitamins next. -
HELP - Grazing all day
sillykitty replied to Orchids&Dragons's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Maybe the solution is upping the protein in what you consume? Protein puddings, fortifying your purees with protein, as you mentioned above. I'm in the same boat. I'm often eating or drinking to get protein when I'm not hungry. I actually just got some stuff this weekend so I can make higher protein shakes (greek yogurt, protein powder etc.), so I can knockout most of my protein requirements with one drink. -
HELP - Grazing all day
Orchids&Dragons replied to Orchids&Dragons's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I know what you mean. I drink 20g of protein water on my way to work, especially now that the doc upped my minimum to 75g. I so wish I could do the fresh veggies for snacks, but I've settled for cooked ones although those don't help with the protein. I've made myself a little tub to bring protein powder to work. I usually only add it in to things at home, but it will be easier to get my protein if I add it to my yogurts and soup. I do enjoy my high-pro puddings, though. Thanks! Then I guess in your book, I'm good. I track the calories and keep a complete log. 1035 has been my post-surgery high and that involved broccoli-cheese soup from Panera! Otherwise I'm normally around 800 or so. Mixing in extra protein powder at work may add another 100 or so. Thanks! -
HELP - Grazing all day
sillykitty replied to Orchids&Dragons's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Grazing is a big danger for me, especially since I work from home part of the time. I try to have no more than 3 meals and one snack. One of my meals is always a protein drink, because I can't get all my protein from food. But sometimes I just want to snack. For those time I make sure I have super low cal options. Like ff coleslaw, pickles & cucumbers around. Since you can't do solids, what about sf jello? SF jello w ff cottage cheese or yogurt added would be low cal and add protein. Protein pusddings? -
Eat your vegetables, which you probably can't do at this point, but this is a sign that your diet is overly low in carbohydrates. Some relish the bad breath (and often BO as well) as they believe it to be the "smell of burning fat" and have to go through it to burn off their stored fat. That is just fad diet mythology as such is totally unnecessary to reach that end. Short answer is that it will go away as your diet improves. If your diet allows such things as oatmeal or cream of wheat yet, or even some yogurt, that will help. Likewise, the small amount of sugars in milk if you use that in your protein shakes will also help. Others may chime in with their solutions in the mean time, but I can't comment on their effectiveness as I never ran into the problem as we maintained adequate dietary variety to avoid it.

June Sleevers Lets Get Excited!!!
nicolebklyn replied to gully90's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hey guys I’m five days out after my surgery. I feel pretty good- I’m very tired generally and have stuck to full liquids and yogurt and apple sauce. I have to consume very slowly and often pause to pace a bit - pacing and walking really really help! I can’t recommend them enough if anyone is having problems- definitely walk after each meal and even during. - I bought a small sized yeti mug which keeps my smoothie cool for longer and a mug warmer which keeps my warm food warm for longer so I don’t need to rush. I also bought these little four ounce cups which I drink water from. Those have all been useful. -
1st day of pre-op diet - 8 hours in - absolutely starving!!!!
ALFxRNY replied to LD91's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
We started our pre-op diet the same day. I am tired and have a headache but I am not hungry. I’m allowed 3 shakes and 2 100 max yogurts a day. I do 3 shakes and a yogurt and that is tough! My biggest issues are that as the days go on, I’m having a harder time getting my required stuff in because I’m too full. Also I miss chewing so much! Chicken broth helps for when I need to cleanse my palette of all of the sweetness but the urge to chew is real! Good luck! Hope you’re doing better than I am at this point -

Update: almost done with day 6. Still have a protein shake to go. Currently trying to finish my yogurt. I froze it for a texture change which has helped a lot -
Fortunately the hiccups went away after the second day. O had diarreah yesterday and today but I think its due to the fact that I'm already having light soups and Greek yogurt. Other than that I feel better. A bit weak thought. Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

Brassapple: 1st congratulations on that 18 pounds! You should be proud! You are rocking it! 2nd- of course you’re hungry w/ soup and drinking your protein! I would be too! My doc only had me on a liquid diet for a week post -surgery and then they told me to starting food. But soft foods, my staples are Turkey chili , eggs, Greek yogurt and organic apple sauce. Sometimes chicken, bits hard to get down. Maybe some soft foods will help. 3rd- your body and hormones are changing, depression is normal. 4th- I understand how hard this is for you. I fell and broke my foot the week after surgery, which delayed my exercise program. I was so bummed, all wanted was food. That’s when I realized that food was my friend .. it was there when I was happy or stressed, but mostly when I was sad. And it was time to say goodbye to that friend. So, even though my process was delayed, I was able to find that piece of my obesity that was the most problematic and face it. I guess that broken foot was a blessing in disguise. Please be proud of how far you’ve come and be kind to yourself! You haven’t made a mistake and you will triumph!!

I really had to force that 3rd shake down. It’s a new day and I’m still not hungry but I know that I have to do the 3 shakes. They also wanted me to do 2 yogurts but I can only stomach 1 yogurt a day with the shakes. Day 6 now, I’m on full liquids until Monday and then Tuesday and Wednesday are clear liquids only. Wishing you the best, we’ve got this...even if we have to come here and cry about it sometimes, lol -

I am June 26. My program is 3 days pre-op liquid diet. But I was sick of eating and doing 4 days. Drank lots of crystal light, protein shakes, yogurt and cottage cheese. I hope tomorrow goes as easy as today. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app -
I feel you. I hate the protein shakes and cut them down soon too. I still have one in the morning with a little bit puréed banana and some spinach leaves plus peanut butter powder. Equals 16 gram of protein. The rest of the day I eat scrambled eggs, mozzarella cheese (fresh), ricotta bake, Greek yogurt etc. I am 6 weeks out and still can eat only very little and therefore I don’t meet my 60-80 G protein goal, but my surgeon said that it will come.

Why don't you like GENEPRO? I hear people love it and now I'm hearing people hating it. I use it, I like it but I use it now because I spent a A LOT of money on it. I like it better than any other ones. If anyone can suggest a powder that's unflavored that you can use in hot stuff I'm listening. I use Cabot Whey powder, I trust the company, (the plant is seriously 2 miles from me) and the product is good. It gets weird (as most do) if the food is hot but it's "unflavored" they all have some taste. I think it's ok in shakes, yogurts, pudding, milky stuff.

I would start trying to get your protein in through food now. I do one shake a day still, but honestly, I don't need to. I can get most of my protein from meals. Even if it's just softer foods like yogurt, cottage cheese, ect. The shakes will get old and you want a good foundation set to eat your protein.

Protein Vitamins instead of shakes?
Creekimp13 replied to morganmary's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
There might be products i'm not aware of....but all of the protein vitamins I've looked at don't really have much protein in them. A few grams...in half a dozen pills. Just doesn't make sense to me. If you can eat yogurt and chicken and cheese and protein water....these are much better choices. More bang for your buck, too. -

I got sleeved on 6/6. The first week i lost 12 pounds, which brought me to 230 pounds. But since then i haven’t lost a pound. If anything, I’ve been yo-yo ing between 230-233. I started the purée diet yesterday. I’m still having the protein shake for breakfast, a drinkable yogurt for lunch and for dinner yesterday i had be ricotta bake and tonight i had purée refried beans with a little sour cream. And i couldn’t even finish my protein shake this morning or my dinner tonight. Am i doing something wrong? I don’t understand.

No chicken broth, sugar free jello, or yogurt? I am so sorry! 😩 -
Hi all! So, I'm week 3 into my pureed food stage and I'm BORED! My diet is one month pureed, one month soft, and then regular food. I've been eating greek yogurt, hummus, eggs, mashed bananas, almond milk, sugar free pudding, sugar free Popsicles, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese (I did the notorious ricotta bake, I didn't really like it), and sometimes I will have a creamed soup. I have been spooning on occasion other things like guacamole, or rice pudding (both pureed with no chunks), but I still am craving other things! Does anyone have additional suggestions? I just want ideas for quick snacks, or things to make with less than 5 ingredients. I do not have much time to cook meals. Please help! My taste buds are crying.

So I’m waiting for my ride home from the hospital. I completed my last round of pre-op testing. Blood work, health evaluation, chest x-ray, and I pre-registered for my surgery. Still super excited! Can’t believe my new life is almost here! On day 3 of liquids, still not hungry but I do miss the ability to chew and I’ve had to have a little soup to get rid of the sweet taste of the shakes and yogurt. I am doing fine though. Down another 2lbs, 5 more days of full liquids then 2 of clear. I’m hanging in there! -
I've had issues with regular milk. I tolerate yogurt, cheese and whey ok....but regular milk will give me a case of the loose goose for sure.
