Wow. Today is day 11! I feel totally different than I did a week ago: 1) I have energy enough to wake up a 6am with the baby, get errands done around town and even play with the baby up 'till 6pm. 2) My tape is still on my wounds, except for one. The scar is covered with a this scab. I was told to put neosporn on it. I did. 3) I can't wait till day 15 when I get to expand my food options to cheese, tuna and eggs! 4) Right now my diet looks like this: a) oatmeal and coffee for Breakfast yogurt for lunch c) Soup for dinner d) also a Protein drink, popsicle and lots of Water. I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YALL!!!! 1) What are you eating in your week 2 diet? I am bored. 2) Any idea for recipes for week 3? 3) When should I start feeling like I am getting 'full'? When I start more solid foods? I'm confused because the liquid goes down so easily... I guess I'm a little scared that I won't have any restriction when I get to week 3. I DO

I hope this fullness lasts until my first fill and beyond. Will do a yogurt smoothie for lunch. YUMMMMMMMMM. good luck to all my fellow bandsters on our ongoing journey!!!!!

I am having a hard time finding balance. I've been able to stick with the liquid diet. Limiting myself too water, cream soups, vitamin drinks, and protien shakes. I've also determined that I may now be or maybe I was before and did not pay attention, Lactose Intolerant. I attempted to move onto yogurt and pudding and I became very ill. Severe gas and an upset stomach. Ever since that day and the elimination of dairy I've done much better. I've also realized that I need to make out a food schedule. This way I can have some understanding of what I need to intake. The protein is a must. Most sites and doctors that I've spoken too recommend 50-70 grams of protein. That would equate to 2 shakes a day. Which I have to say I have not been doing. The vitamins that I take are mixed with 16oz of water. This not only allows me to get my vitamin intake but insures that I get enough water. My friend suggested crystal light, I will be going to get some. I wish I could find a diet book that gives more detail. Get eating tidbits on a week by week premise for the first month. I wake up in the mornings starving. If it were not the hunger pangs I would even care about food, but unfortunately they are stronger than I am. Now I am dealing with the emotional part and fact that I relied to much on food to assist in my happiness. Or I'm just so hungry I'm having mood swings. Either was I look forward to a happier me. So My goals for next week are to stick to a food plan, be happier, and to stay motivated.

3 Weeks Post Op, And Get To Add More Foods Now! :)
NewBeginningsForMe2012 posted a blog entry in Kathy Tyler's Blog
Well I'm now 3 weeks post-op, and I went in to my nutritional appointment at my sleeve doctor's office this morning. I now get to add eggs, cottage cheese, low fat cheeses, fish, canned chicken, tuna fish, beans(like black beans, kidney beans, soy beans) I can also have chili, and soups with beans now! It seems so great to be able to have more variety of things to eat! I was so sick of protein shakes, yogurt, and the few other things I could only have for the passed 5 weeks! At least at Christmas time I will get even more choices by then too. I have been feeling better day by day, and my 5 incisions are almost completely healed now as well. I have lost a total of 69 pounds now since last April 2012 when I started my weight loss journey, and I have lost 15 more pounds since my sleeve surgery 3 weeks ago. I'm running out of clothes that fit me, because most are way to big for me now! What a great feeling to have clothes that a TO BIG! LOL I actually had to give my little sister some of my old clothes, because she wears 26 W like I use to wear. I'm now in a size 20 W, and it won't be long I'll be in a size 18 W. I'm hoping I will wear an 18 by my husband's shop Christmas party December 15TH, and get me a new outfit to wear to the Christmas party. Last Christmas I went to the shop party wearing a size 26/28 W, 3 piece black pant suit. I was so self conscience the whole time at the party that I couldn't really enjoy myself. I looked around and thought, "I'm probably the fattest one here"! I couldn't wait to leave the party that night! This year I'm hoping my weight loss will help my self esteem, and I can enjoy myself with my husband this year. I have to get me an outfit that I feel good in, pretty, and allot thinner in. :wub: Better, healthier, thinner days are a head of me now, and I can't wait!- 3 comments

Hi ladies! So here’s my situation, I had RNY surgery July 6th and everything has gone as expected and what was explained to me. Smooth sailing until yesterday and today. I’ve been expecting aunt flow and she’s coming slowly but surely. I woke up yesterday feeling great. I had a protein shake and went for a short walk. Shortly after returning I started to feel so sick. Like what dumping syndrome feels like. All the symptoms to a “T”. I couldn’t understand why and thought that maybe I drank my shake too fast? There was literally no explanation. I laid down and laid low for the rest of the day. My stomach was angry so I just had popsicles, broth, water and 2 bites of plain Greek yogurt at the end of the day because “live and active cultures”. Most of it felt ok going down but not for HOURS after the possible dumping episode. Skip to today, I woke up feeling ok. My stomach mostly just felt a little tender but I decided to try and power through a protein water at least. It took me 3hrs to finish it and now I feel just awful again. Not as bad as yesterday’s episode but generally not well. My first thoughts were maybe it’s the whey or lactose. Yesterday’s shake was a fairlife which has no lactose but I believe does contain whey. Today’s protein water (Protein2o) contained whey isolate. But then I started thinking maybe it’s my PMS symptoms just wreaking havoc on my insides and because I’m still healing maybe it feels more severe? I purchased some vegan protein to try tomorrow. But does anyone have any input? Should I call my doctor? Let me know if I’m missing any information that might help this all make more sense. Ugh just feel terrible and need relief.

What are your sliders? Mine are yogurt, nuts and protein bars. Eventually I will feel restriction but I've consumed so many calories by that point it's like sabotage (never tried this, decided to be cautious when I saw the calorie count and my tolerance )

You bet there's protein in peanut butter cups. And in the yogurt too! Your treats don't sound exactly extreme, and I'm getting a whiff of diet mind wafting from the East Coast... When you pick up two dozen at the Dunkin Donuts drive-through and devour them in one sitting, then we'll start to worry.

For all of you eating mushies right now....
ccweeks replied to Soexcited's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree with keeping your protein intake high, but you can do it without eating blended meat. I eat greek yogurt, eggs, thick Protein shakes and cottage cheese. Plenty of options to stay liquified meat-free!! -
Two weeks in... Down 20 lbs! Still on liquids per Dr Dyer at Centennial. But I added protein shakes and carb smart yogurt. Great recipe- put one scoop protein powder in a small container of Greek yogurt with sliced strawberries on top! Yum! Lots of protein!!!

What is your favorite foods and proteins
FishingNurse replied to fp9107's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When you get to the mushie stage: Cottage cheese Egg salad Refried Beans 2% Greek yogurt Baby bel cheese (let it get slighty warm) melts in your mouth. Google egg face's ricotta bake. Yum! This is what I lived off of from 2 weeks until 2 months :-) -
I found a good quality supermarket that did mini meals. I liked the minced meat and gravy topped with mashed potato. Fish pie and a mild minced meat curry and rice. There was plenty of protein in them. I also made a tummy friendly Moussaka with baked aubergine instead of fried. I make a lot of soup, big soup fans. Mushroom with added bacon, blitzed at the end with extra cheese and or a light cream. Pea soup or carrot, sweet potato and red lentil are also great because they are good and thick when blitzed and full of protein. As you can tell I had my surgery in our winter months and needed warming foods. I was allowed melba toast and cream cheese, pate or peanut butter. I had a ton of protein yogurts, soft scrambled and boiled egg, tuna mayo. Good luck with finding suitable foods, it is a bit of a head scratcher in the early days

My doc told me I could mix flavored water drops into my yogurt. I even thought about adding ranch seasoning to my plain greek yogurt. I hope that helps.

tuna salad, egg salad, chicken salad. I used part mayo / part yogurt / or mashed avocado as a binder. I made some hearty soups /soft stews in my crock pot ( chicken and carrots, green beans, some white beans, tomato paste) and put them in small containers in the freezer (like the extra small ones that you can get at the market like 6 or 8 in a package). Those I could heat and eat at work. I would pack two "lunches" as I ate such a small amount - I needed two ! Also of course, yogurt, soft cheeses, melon, applesauce.

I was banded on the 4th - still hungry!

I also do not think that consuming more grams of Protein will make you feel more satisfied. It is a liquid and it is not filling. I also could not stand the smell of the Protein shakes, but I started preparing them in the magic bullet. Some of the things I've mixed are chocolate Protein powder with milk and a heaping spoonful of Peanut Butter and this actually did make me feel full. I have also done vanilla protein powder with milk, a banana and peanut butter. Since the powder is mixed in so well I cannot smell it like I could when I was preparing it with a spoon in a glass. Here are things that are on my stage one-liquids only-list: Light yogurt (I got the kind you drink) SF pudding or custard cream soups-strained cream of wheat (drinkable consistency) Fruit and Veg juices broth protein shakes fruit smoothies At this point I am into the mushy stage and that has been helpful, but yesterday was the first day that I have REALLY felt hungry since my surgery on the 3rd. I did manage to satisfy my hunger, mainly with yogurt and cottage cheese-which I just ate until I finally started to feel satisfied. The other night I pureed thin strips of beef prepared in the crock pot. Tasted fine if you can get beyond the look and texture. My 4 year old was pretty thrilled by it and ate a whole cupful... I was not so thrilled. But I did get it down and I felt satisfied afterward. I used quite a bit of the juices from the cooking process to puree it. -

Ricotta Bake (http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2007/08/pureed-foods.html), fat free refried Beans with cheddar melted on top, greek yogurt with vanilla Protein powder added in, hummus, pimiento cheese, tuna salad / chicken salad (light mayo and/or greek yogurt), mashed avocado (not a lot of protein but helped me get a little "normal' food in), sugar free chocolate pudding snack with chocolate Protein Powder added in. I will come back if I think of others! Also I think there is a forum on here specifically with pureed food ideas and/or you can search "pureed" and get some more ideas. good luck!

Atkins shakes, Skyr yogurt, home made pureed soups eg Cauliflower Cheese Soup. Sweat onion and garlic in butter, add chopped cauliflower and 2 Kallo organic chicken stock cubes in 1 litre water. Cook until cauliflower soft, then blitz with processor. Optional - melt in grated cheese or cheese triangles for added flavour/protein. x

I’m to purées for a couple more days then I’m open to “as tolerated.” I’m up and moving everywhere actually back to school as a teacher since yesterday (day10). As far as protein goes I’m getting about 50-60grams from protein shakes and Greek yogurt mainly. And water I’ve done better the past two days as I’ve gotten over 40oz both days.

HELP! (No, it's not really THAT dramatic????)
WLSResources/ClothingExch replied to Elode's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
No idea what you have in the house or whether you're willing to hit the store. Yogurt, plain or flavored with more fruit added, maybe SF applesauce. If plain yog & applsc, add sweetener to taste, a shake of cinnamon and a coupla drops of vanilla. Or flavor up any yogurt with complementary seasonings/extracts. Cottage cheese, if you prefer. (For eons I thought of cottage as something to eat only when I was ill, but, after banding, added it to my snack rotation.) SF fudgesicle. I think it's the brand "Popsicle" that makes me happy. They also make ices pops that are packed in boxes that look very similar, so look before you leap. Put a banana in the freezer; eat as much as suits you. Same for seedless grapes. Do you have SF syrups, such as Torani? A pot of coffee sweetened/flavored with the chocolate flavor or whichever you like. If choc or vanilla or similar, put some cinnamon in the basket with the ground coffee. This often satisfies me. I've been told that evap FF milk, if put in freezer and cold enough, will whip up; can't vouch for it myself. A bit o' PB with a spoon or two of the Torani and some banana slices, all mushed up, is one of my fave treats. So much that a small amt satisfies. I've been profligate for so long that I can't recall all of my old tricks. IF anything else comes to mind, I'll be back. You are honor-bound to report back with whatever you end up having. -

I was just banded on August 1st. I have the same thing gurgling not much of an appetite.. but one other thing I do notice is that when I tried Jello and yogurt it hurt as soon as it hit my stomach.. the yogurt more than the jello... is that normal too? The pain I feel is more int he center by my heart it feels bruised and as though it's tight hard to breathe from a mass being in there.. is that the same pain you are experiencing?

Hi Kiana, I'm so thankful you wrote. I posted a thread that is very similar to yours earlier today, and cried all the way through it. I'm only 3 days out, and I hurt more than I expected. I feel so blue, and now I'm wondering what in the world I've done to my body. It feels weird to drink even a little bit of a yogurt smoothie --- like an almost-painful-pressure in my upper chest. What is that?? A week ago I could've eaten an entire cow, but I've been working on the same 8-ounce smoothie for two days! I did the same thing you did -- I researched, I planned, I got myself all ready and now I'm wondering how I got here :Banane27: But I take a lot of comfort in the postings from others who remind me that surgery of any kind is tough on your body. It takes time to heal, and going through the sadness is part of the process. See if you can find my post from earlier today in this same area of the board ("Lap-Band Support"), and maybe some of the responses will help. Hang in there, sweetheart. Know that you are not alone in this process. You have sisters (and probably brothers too!) walking the same road with you ... although it's more of a shuffle than a real walk so far I'm sending you all my best wishes, and many (gentle) hugs!!!!

Pre-Op Diet, Shrunk Liver
Marty McSkinnystein commented on dlahouston's blog entry in HOUSTON SLEEVES
night 2-- went shopping today and got SUCH a variety of things so I won't be bored with plain old chocolate shakes. My favorite-- cream of wheat w/cinnamon. It's on the list of things allowed 5 times a day-- with yogurt, pureed soups, sugar free applesauce. I'm mixing it up. I was so depressed earlier today and am starting to feel better. Tomorrow I cut back even more on coffee (everyday I'm going a little less).
