On full liquid diet.... what are you eating?
magpie26 replied to Sprinkles1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I make my own (or should say made and froze ) my own cream soups and they were like heaven compared to canned. There's a bariatric app that I like that has some recipes and one was for broccoli soup. But yes, I hate everything too. I like the more fun flavors of light Greek yogurt like cheesecake and I mix in a little of my cabot whey power for more protein but it's still sweet. My problem is that I AM still hungry after surgery. I think it may be going away but I have hunger pangs when I shouldn't. I can have eggs and blended stuff like tomorrow but I have snuck eggs and blended chicken. Ok, 1 egg. -
On full liquid diet.... what are you eating?
Sprinkles1 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Soooo... I hate everything on the full liquid diet. I'm not ever hungry but if I were, nothing tastes good. Any recommendations? Jello, yogurt, pudding and popsicles are too sweet. Cream soups are... yuck. I'm allowed grits which are decent. Taste a little weird after surgery. I hate that my taste buds have changed! I didn't believe anyone when they said it could happen.

Mine was April 25 and I've not been hungry. Forcing myself to drink protein shakes and today, I added yogurt. I was told after two weeks, I could introduce soft foods...eggs, tuna, etc.

whitmac replied to whitmac's topic in Fitness & Exercise
Thank you so much for your response. .. never thought of mixing protien with yogurt....great tip... I was a bit confused if it was head hunger or if my body was actually needing the extra fuel....I just realized today I was leg pressing 6 45kg plates for my heavy set... somewhere around 600lbs... no way body I'd screaming at me.. thanks again... any tips for water retention?

After surgery I was restricted to full liquids for the first 4 weeks and then pureed foods for the next 4 weeks and then after week 9 solid foods. But I was not given a menu but rather a list of items that counted as full liquids. Full liquids were items with a pudding like consistency, such as cream of wheat, cream or rice, oatmeal, farina, instant mashed potatoes, unsweetened applesauce, sugar free pudding, yogurt, and other items. So they gave me choices that I could experiment during this initial stage rather than a strict menu.

Started weight lifting and I'm now starving every 2/2.5 hours
GotProlactinoma replied to whitmac's topic in Fitness & Exercise
You need protein, clearly. I have the same hunger every 2-2.5 hrs. It’s real hunger, your body needs protein. I always give it fat with the protein. I take a kid’s lunchbox with me on the go, with a freezer pack in it and tiny metal containers with my unflavored, unsweetened whey protein powder mixed with full fat plain no flavor Greek yogurt. It doesn’t actually taste good so it is eaten for protein and satisfying the hunger ONLY. Breakfast and dinner at home I will choose tasty food. But mid days I only wish to shut up the hunger and keep on keeping on. i am losing slower than you, only 53 lbs in 9 mos. but that is ok. And I don’t walk nearly as much as you though I love weights too. -
I was sleeved 4/10 and I'm on soft/pureed there's no way i could put down 5oz much less in 5 min. Today i had 1 egg for breakfast, a slice of deli Turkey and a small piece of cheese for lunch, and 2tbsp of yogurt for snack. i can get down 2tbsp of food as long as i take small bites and go slow. I would slow down on the intake 3weeks out your stomach is still healing i would be afraid of eating to much and creating a leak.

I am 5 months post-op and am struggling to get over 800 calories a day.. nutrirtionist told me I should be consuming 1100-1200 calories a day.. I can eat a 5oz yogurt in one sitting too but it takes me 25 min or so to eat it.. once I’m too full I get hiccups. I would just try to eat slower if I were you. There are times I feel like my stomach can hold more too but I definitely don’t over indulge like I used to!

I am eating roughly 1100 calories a day. Is this normal I feel as if I have stretched my stomach already. I Followed the diet, and started eating soft solids, but I feel that I can eat too much comfortably. I have not experienced any issues like most others. I don’t have to eat slowly as I am able to eat fast with no problems. i can eat a 5 oz yogurt in one setting in probably 5 minutes. I have lost 12 lbs in 3 weeks. I believe that i will be the exception. I’m terrified right now I think I am eating too much. anyone have this problem or am I the only 1?

I know I sound crazy but I had my vsg Monday 4/23 and today I’m sooooo hungry since I’ve woke up. I’ve already had my protein shake, half of my premier clear protien drink, 8 oz of beef broth, and yogurt. Also plenty of water in between. Why is my stomach constantly growling at me? I don’t feel full or sick after eating any of these items. I can start eating soft foods this coming Tuesday, I just feel like I need something that is going to make me feel a little fuller for a little longer. I so badly want to try softer foods now.

Confessions from a non-com (as in non-compliant)
Orchids&Dragons replied to Orchids&Dragons's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
OMgosh, 20 grams of protein in one meal - yikes! I looked at my log and the most I've ever gotten from "real food" was 12, and that was yogurt! On solid food (other than protein bars which I now use for breakfast), the most I've ever hit was 9! -
I ate a lot of -Greek yogurt - refried beans** - soup** (I bought a vitamix, and they have FABULOUS pureed soup recipes on their website) - mashed potatoes** - cottage cheese - Egg salad (w/o the celery) - Tuna salad - Pureed, cooked carrots, green beans, edamame, and other veggies! - Protein shakes, I usually had at least 1 per day. ** with added unflavored protein powder

Hey Klee i had my first doctors visit on Wednesday lost a total of 22 pounds. I was ecstatic! I still feel ok but my stomach isnt liking the full liquid stage much i have suffering from diarrhea for the last 2 days. Doc says its ok. Tried light yogurt which isnt very good for me as it doesnt fill me up on the spot but comes back with terrible bloating and nausea 15 min after. Still cant complain much. Hope u are doing great Surgery Date 19/4/2018 SW 164kg 361lbs CW 154kg 339lbs

Here's a day for me: Breakfast: 1/4 cup malt-o-meal or oatmeal made with skim milk mid-morning: 1/2 protein shake lunch: cottage cheese with applesauce, refried beans with cheese, cream soup (1/4 cup) mid-afternoon: 1/2 protein shake dinner: chicken and mashed potatoes with a bit of gravy, tuna and a mushy vegetable (carrots, peas) if needed: greek yogurt, SF pudding with protein powder (1/4 cup) I got a sample meal plan from my nut and have been following that---it's been plenty of food, even though it seems like such a tiny amount! The protein shake helps me hit my protein goal.

Congrats on moving up! Rule is protein first, veggies, etc. if you have room. And this early, they're really not worried about the quantities of stuff, they just want your stomach to get used to the new textures to see if you can handle them. Most of your nourishment should still be coming from liquids/yogurt, etc.

Transition from full liquid to soft diet
jenbugwi replied to J@Alabama's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tuna or chicken salad with lite mayo was suggested to me. I'm not at that stage yet, but I'm ready for it! I'm still on purees---last night I took some canned chicken breast and mashed it up with a bit of BBQ sauce. Added some peas and it was plenty! Yogurt is another option -
Wow this is so helpful. I am so scared about what to eat (my surgery will be in late June) and your post made me feel less stressed. I also love my Greek yogurt and knowing that has worked for you, made me feel a comfort level. I would hope I can so the same as you and continue to enjoy all kinds of food in smaller portions once I am on maintenance.

To paraphrase Katy Perry I ate some home-frozen with Mio yogurt And I liked it😝

I am now at 1 year 5 months after my Gastric Bypass. This journey wasn't easy but I have been at my goal weight 150lbs now for over 5 months (highest weight 287). I'm getting insurance approval for my panniculectomy and breast reconstruction. Then my journey will be complete. I feel amazing!! Still experimenting with most foods and never afraid to try new foods all the time. Posted are my before & after pics. Insurance DOES pay for Panniculetomy & reconstruction breast LIFT (not augmentation) so I am very happy about that!! I didn't read or follow all the diets online. I knew my body and paid attention to how i felt and made my own diets. First 4 months after surgery Yoplait greek 100 protein yogurt was my best friend and I still eat 3 a day! they are so smooth not gritty like other greek yogurts. I eat everything from Steak to pizza. (just very small amounts chewed VERY well) I have not gained any weight back and am looking forward to my plastic surgery so I can look as good on the outside as I feel on the inside. IF anyone is scared or have any questions about anything feel free to e-mail me sjohnson4021 at yahoo.com

Amount of food post surgery
Creekimp13 replied to Nazz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm closing in on five months out. I eat 1000-1200 calories a day. Typically, in six little meals that are about 1/2 cup or so in volume. If I eat a slider food (yogurt, oatmeal, cottage cheese) my volume might be a little more, but I go slow. You might consider switching your white rice out for brown rice. It's more nutritious and will cause less of an insulin spike...and less rebound hunger. Did you have sleeve or RNY? -
VSG on 4/16/18: My journey
J@Alabama replied to TexasMommy80's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I like the Premier protein shakes. They have 30 grams of protein per shake. I usually drink 1 1/2 of these per day and eat an Oikos Triple Zero yogurt which has 15 grams of protein. (and I pick up a little protein in the other stuff that I eat/drink.) I have tried some of the tasteless protein in Crystal Light water and I couldn't tell it was in there. -
You could also just add protein powder to like everything as well (tea coffee soups) Or basically anything dairy based (yogurt, kefir, sugar free chocolate milk etc) Sure milk has some carbs in it, but early on youre eating so little anyway, its all about hitting that protein number Did your dr/nutritionist give some kind of directions ? I know mine gave a specific packet, although I found it useless because it was filled with crap id never eat or I didnt deem "healthy enough" for myself (ie purina)

7 days post op VSG - Right side abdominal cramping
southernspice posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey everyone, This is my first post on the forum. Looking to see if anyone has had a similar experience to mine. I had my VSG operation on 4/17, spent one night in the hospital and was home the next day. Side note: I also had a hiatal hernia repair and my gallbladder removed. Waking up after surgery was a bit shocking at the amount of gas pain I felt, but like everyone has mentioned on here, walking really helped alleviate it quickly. I've had the usual pain in the incision left of my belly button where my stomach was removed, so it's been a bit difficult bending and getting up/down without my husband's assistance, but nothing major. I've also had some difficulty swallowing liquids (water, protein shakes, creamy soups, greek yogurt), I get a sharp cramping for a split second when it hits my stomach, but then it goes away after a few seconds. I've read that other people have had this too, and it usually goes away if you take smaller sips or it may be swelling from my hernia repair. So all in all no major concerns. Today I've had something new appear though- I have a cramp on the right side of my abdomen at the base of my ribs. I feel it when I'm up and moving around or when I take a deep breath. It's not sharp, just a dull cramp that isn't going away. I've been getting in my 64 oz of water and 60g of protein, so not sure why this new cramp appeared today (actually last night before bed- I thought it would go away when I slept). Lastly (sorry this is super long), I have read about the phrenic nerve being irritated for some patients when the hiatal hernia is repaired, and I didn't think I had that issue, but now I'm not sure. For the last 3 to 4 days I've had the worst neck pain on my right side. It feels like a pulled muscle but it's constant and isn't getting better. I thought at first that it was probably due to the fact that I'm not able to sleep in my normal position and I must have slept funny and pulled a muscle, but does this sound like the phrenic nerve irritation that others have had? I honestly don't know. After reading this over it sounds like I'm having a horrible recovery but honestly it's not that bad haha My pain level is very low, I'm just reaching out to see if anyone has had similar pains or experiences. I'm grateful for any advice.
