Last night for dinner I may have eaten a little to much and that includes some bread. I do not have any fill yet. Ever since then my stomach has been bothering me. Just uncomfortable, not unbelievable pain or anything. I still am getting a little hungry, not like I have been though. Do you think I should go to Protein shakes for the rest if the day and maybe tomorrow? Not sure if it is just that I ate to much and irritated something. I also had a hiatal hernia repair during surgery. DO you think I could have done any real damage?

Post Fill Chest Pain?
jen_1381 replied to kwood803's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Any time you have chest pain, it doesn't hurt to run it by your doctor. That being said, every time I have a fill I get pain that radiates from my chest to my back shoulder blade. The position of my band irritates my vagal nerve and causes the pain. It goes away after a few days, will be worse after I eat, but the only option is surgery to reposition my band so I just try to ignore the pain. -

Meeting the guidelines

I do fine with protein most days. But even after 2 months I'm generally lacking in calories. Its a struggle for me to get enough. I just am not *GASP* interested in food. -
3 meals. 2 snacks. Lots of protein and lots of water!

I would love a Trader Joes near by as well. I eat raw almonds / walnuts frequently - actually keep them in my workout bag/purse. I just found South Beach Dark Chocolate covered Soy Nuts (100cal / 3g protein) - and they taste just like "Goobers".

How many protein shakes are you drinking?
EndlessGoals#2018 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi everyone. Currently in the pre-op liquid phase and for my doctor we are not allowed to have any kind of food. So in one day I usually have: - 4 protein shakes - 2 sugar free jellos - lots of water Was just wondering if anyone else has any tips or recommendations for anything else. I know there’s no specific diet you have to follow (that I know of) or any order but it’s a little unnerving sometimes, especially after always trying to follow a specific diet with specific times you should eat. I just got my order of Unjury chicken soup powder and had some. It was delicious! Lol. Mostly because I was craving something salty after all those sweets. Right now I’m getting about 700 calories. Thanks everyone!! Patty -
My surgeon doesn't want me consuming Protein shakes, or any liquids with calories. He wants me to get my calories from solid foods that will satisfy me longer than liquids. Protein shakes will go right through the band, and some contain a lot of calories. You need to take that into consideration.

My nut specifically said no baby food. Not a good high protein option and because need to find real foods that work to help transition to new way of eating.

post op diet question
Melissannde replied to layne409's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've never counted carbs, but I don't eat white carbs (bread, rice, pasta, potatoes) and keep whole grains to minimum. I do not worry about veggie carbs at all. I do eat reduced fat, but I don't count fat grams either. Some will disagree with this saying that fat makes you satisfied sooner. Maybe so.. but I can still eat fairly large amounts and want to do lower fat (not NO fat). At first, I only worried about eating 3oz of protein and 1/2 cup veggies per meal. As time went on, I began to count calories.. I was pretty large, so I just used an online calculator to figure out how much I could eat to lose a certain amt a week.. and used that. I'm now at about 1200/day, but I know I had a bigger allotment before I got to where I am now. You might be less confused by talking to the dietician or nutritionist that works with your doctor (they should have one on staff or available). -
post op diet question
jennypenny replied to layne409's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I love MyFitnessPal too. It helps me to look at all aspects of what I'm eating, but right now I only focus on my protein and calories. I love the site though. It's easy to use and can even be put on your phone when you're out and about. -
I was also sleeved Tuesday. My doctor gave me a slip n slide diet. Basically it has to be able to slide off your plate and through a funnel with no problem ie jello, yogurt, protein shakes, soft scrambled eggs, soup broth is what I was given

Hi guys. So I got back in the gym today and it felt great. I walked a mile on the treadmill , 2 miles on the bike , did arm,back and leg machines and burned a little over 600 calories in 1 hour. My question is .. Do we add those calories back in to our day? I'm only allowed 600 calories per day but tiring to get all your protein( shakes) and everything I'm worried I will go over and still not have enough protein in.. Thoughts??

Hang in there. Add protein powder to soups to "beef" them up!

Hi all, I'm almost 11 weeks post op and I struggle with my meal choices, liquids and protein. Can you guys please share and post sample food menu plans of regular food that you intake each day. I am looking for ideas and tips. I've dropped 36 1/2 pounds since my surgery date of 12/23/2013. Trying to boost up my weight loss. Also wondering if any of you drink Green Tea? I hear that's also a big booster to help aid the weight loss.

Weight gain 10 D post op
par1959 replied to Marielbx's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You had surgery in October? If that is the case you should be eating regular food and not relying on protein shakes. Maybe you not getting enough calories in. If you follow most of the rule most of the time you'll lose most of the weight. Be patient. -
Hey guys! I'm post op one week exactly today. I'm dying on the shakes, broth, popcicles and jello. Any other options? I have my post op appt tomorrow but I find myself so bored of these things. I cant. Help!

I'm almost 8 weeks out and I feel like I'm getting into a groove with my eating schedule. I just went to my first major function (a wedding) over the weekend and I was nervous. They had waiters passing stuff on trays for the cocktail hour and I was being offered food left and right. If it was something I could have, I had it but just a little. No one seemed to notice if I took anything or not. The dinner was a buffet and thank goodness they had all kinds of things that are allowed including salmon. Again, no one seemed to notice how little I took or if they did, they didn't say anything. This was a good prep for me getting ready for Holiday Gatherings. My suggestion would be don't stress about it now. See where you are when the time comes and don't be afraid to bring your own stuff with you. You always have the option to prepare something that's within your food allowances at that time. I'm sure most people won't even notice.

Made it through the FIRST Day
1unknownperson replied to 1unknownperson's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh I am right there in the tightness with you ladies... Thats why I was sooo terrified when it came time to eat... Each time I took a nibble, I chatted ahile with my colleagues to make sure it went down okay before taking another bite... My Protein shakes and V-8 juice is on the thick side and takes a good 30-45 minutes to get a whole one down... This is a struggle for someone who used to gulp everything and gobble their food so quickly... Even up through my first fill! It wasn't until my second fill that I actually had to change my ways..... Now I get tired of eating long before the food is even gone... -
I have seen and read a lot of posts on here that have mixed opinions about the pre-op (liquid diet). My doctor suggests a 14 day liquid diet consisting of 4 protein shakes and one 400-600 calorie meal a day. It has been a rough road! Day 3 I had a headache that wouldn't subside. I've had to say no the Valentine's Day chocolates, going to a buffet lunch with my in laws (who are in town), had to practice self control while grocery shopping and so on and so forth. I've missed food so much I've cried. I'm addicted and that's why my weight has gotten this high. This pre-op diet has forced me to face hunger. To feel what being hungry really feels like. To practice saying no to myself, my family and my friends. I'm now 6 days in to this diet and I'm feeling better. Sure I'm hungry and want some things but it's getting better. Saying no is getting easier. I am proud that I can do this pre-op diet. That even though I want to eat badly I'm not giving in. I'm learning how to take care of myself. This is just the beginning. So to anyone out there having a terrible day know that you're not alone. You'll have rough days. Days when you want to eat your sadness away. Days when you want just the texture of some food. But stick with the diet your doctor has put you on. This is just the start of your lifelong journey. You will be saying no a lot once you get the surgery so start now!
