Last night I ate about 2oz of yogurt and then 30 mins later about 3oz of sf pudding. I don’t know what happened but since then I’ve felt uncomfortable and bloated. Woke up this morning and it was still there! I haven’t been able to eat all day. Took a few sips of protein shake over the last 8 hours. That’s it. I’m 7 days post op. Starting to worry. Anyone else had this?

It depends on what stage you are at in your journey. If you are pre-op now, I wouldn't worry about using protein shakes. Trust me, you will get sick of them soon after surgery, so you don't want to exacerbate the problem by drinking protein shakes before you need to. Best protein sources pre surgery and post surgery are fish and lean meats. Greek yogurt and cottage cheese help as well (just keep the carbs below 20g per yogurt). You can get plant based proteins, as well, but I found it is a lot harder until you get further along. In my first few weeks, I mixed the protein powder with broth, diluted 100% juice, FairLife milk, and I actually made these 2 once jello cups and mixed in the Genepro. Each Jello cup gave me 12.5 grams of protein. As I went into pureed foods, I did a lot of soups. Mostly of my own making, because so many of the store bought soups have too much sodium in them. The recipe for the jello cups: 1 box of sugar free Jello with 5 scoops of GenePro protein. Makes 14, 2oz cups. I bought the cups from the dollar tree. They are plastic with lids that restaurants will send home condiments in.

10 days post op- 1st mushy food
Sadiebug replied to Calee213's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
My experience was very similar. My first mushy food was mashed potatoes (in the hospital - my program starts mushy very quickly) and I felt nauseous and weird. Eating very slow and tiny little bites were key - like smaller than you can even imagine. Also, walking around right after I ate every time helped a lot. I found for the first couple of months every time I tried a new food I would feel a little nauseous but then the next time with that food I would be completely fine. Just keep mixing it up and trying. Maybe try the beans without the cheese or something different like yogurt or cottage cheese (depending on what your program allows). Also - if you spray low fat cheese with a tiny bit of cooking spray it will help it melt better -
February bypass buddies?

Hey sorry to hear that. I have issues vomiting and it hurts very badly. Why are you vomiting is it because food doesn’t agree with you or maybe you drank to fast or ate to fast? Just mark it off your list to not be able to eat it if it is food wise. We really shouldn’t be having chocolate chip cookies or anything sugary. If sugar is your weakness, mainly because it is mine, the alternatives. I ordered some items from Bariatric pal as treats (not that I’m a pet) to give myself every once in a while. Check it out or try your local nutrition store like Vitamin Shoppe or GNC. I am post RNY 2/7/18 and had my one month visit today officially 18.7lbs down. Just be very careful and mindful of the things you try. You don’t want to give yourself a bowel obstruction or hurt your new stomach. No one likes hospital stays. As for the vomiting, we don’t vomit like we use to because we lack stomach juices so the acid that helps dissolve our food is not really in our new stomach so vomiting at least for me is very painful because it comes back up the way I chewed it down. Hope it gets better. Food is secondary, make sure you always start your day with a bottle of water then hit your protein source. Vitamins, H2O, Protein is what you need. All I can say is go with what you like weather it is eggs, yogurt, milk, cheese, beans, eat what you like the most and try to meet your goals. As long as you try everyday your hardest, you can accomplish it. -

I am only allowed 3 meals a day, but everyone does what they can. I did snack once today. My routine: Breakfast: 4oz decaf, 2 cups ice, 11oz caramel protein premier ( iced coffee)30g P Lunch: Greek Yogurt (7.5g-15g P depends if I stagger it and eat it all throughout the afternoon) or Dannon Light and Fit Smoothie Yogurt (9g P) Dinner: Egg and cheese omelet style 7-8g P or Shredded Chicken and cheese 15g P or more or deli meat and cheese 10g P or more With my night meds I drink 4-8oz of Fairlife for added protein (6.5g P to 13g P) I hope everyone else is accomplishing well. All my servings never exceed 2-3oz and if they do it is very drinkable and takes me longer than 30 mins to consume. I do drink water throughout the day as well. -

Hey Hope4momof4 great post, thanks for adding the calories. You are getting more than enough protein, couple minor suggestions. Here's how your diet compares to mine, I'm eating about 800-1000 calories per day: 2 eggs in morning, have less protein ( only 12G) but also less calories (125) than smoothy. Morning snack non-fat yogurt. 17 gram protein, 90 calories For lunch and dinner think about using a scale for protein and veggie portions. For lunch I eat 3 ounces protein (usually chicken) 23 g protein, 200 calories. Afternoon snack- sugar free pudding 60 calories For dinner I'm using 3-4 ounces of protein and 1/4 cup of brown rice or pasta and 1/4 cup of green veggies. Salmon 2x per week, Chicken 2x per week, steak once. Usually about 300 calories, 20 grams protein. One more thought if I look at weight loss by month, don't get too depressed with only first month, there's more weight loss to come. Stick to your plan, you can Here's my weight loss by month: First month 16 lbs 2nd month 13 lbs 3rd month 10 lbs Let me know what you think, Tex -
Constipation to the max - two a&e visits
FluffyChix replied to myfanwymoi's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
ROFLMAO!!!! I am so sorry for any and all who have endured this Rosemary's Baby event!!! @kennyranking You win the internet dude!!! Seriously! Anaconda? Ha!! I JUST went through this on Monday! Pain like never before! Throwing up my toes! Couldn't keep ice chips down! Went to ER, had to get fluids, CT, xrays, barium swallow...and got iv meds for nausea and bowel spasms. And then had to load on the colace and MOM! It took 8oz of Mom to finally dislodge Rosemary's Baby! Dear God, Satan's Spawn!!!!!! 6 poopies later - today...LOL> This was all backed up since pre-surge liquid diet. The doc saw it in surgery and told me to get going getting it cleaned out--which I thought I had! But um, clearly. I had not! Man WORST pain evs. Worse than surgery!!! FU fentanyl and anesthesia! Just FU! LOL. Today my bowels are still gassy, windy, noisy as well, um, crap! But I have started eating again. And am concentrating on yogurt and taking things slowly! I am now on a strict regimen of daily colace, Miralax, watching to make sure I poo every couple of days max. And I'm sposed to slowly start Benefiber. Later, I can go back to my beloved whole psyllium husks. -

hope4momof4 replied to SammieKay's topic in Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty Forum
That is around my current weight now, mountaingal. I’m about at 190 but a bit shorter than you 5’5”. I’m stuck at this weight. I have been stuck here for almost two weeks. I’m very depressed because my ESG was only a month ago and I know the majority of your weight loss occurs in the beginning. I’m concerned that I spent all this $ (out of pocket) for a procedure that only gave me a 12 pound weight loss so far. I’m trying to keep positive and sticking to the plan but I’m not seeing results. I exercise 4-5 times a week at the gym doing 40-45 minutes of cardio. My meals are as follows: green smoothie for breakfast— 275 calories and 25g of protein lunch— unjury chicken broth— 90 calories and 21g of protein dinner— baked salmon with soft veggies or chicken breast strips cooked stir fry with soft veggies or eggs with broccoli and onions— each one has at least another 20 g of protein and no more than 400 Calories snacks— bone broth only 50 calories and 10g of protein, protein water— 90 calories and 20 g protein, a sugar free fudgesicle or popsicle, a serving of sugar free jell-o, or nonfat Greek yogurt. I’ve even upped my water intake to 8-10 cups a day. Where am I going wrong? -
Very discouraged op 1/11/18
FluffyChix replied to abrasmile's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My questions were not directed to make you feel bad. You ask VERY important questions and need information but you give very little information about yourself, your surgery, your diet. How far out you are from surgery. So it's like asking us to have a crystal ball to give you very specific advice. The first part of my response to you was a reminder. Not a shaming statement. Someone makes it to me to remind me and I find it super helpful! The ONLY way I know that I'm not eating too much right now, is because I use the exact volume or weight given by my surgeon for this time in my diet. Do I want more? Oh sure!!! I do. LOL. I am not yet able to feel satiety. And, you don't mention your diet, but I can guarantee you that if I'm eating high carb foods, or drinking while eating, I will be hungry less than 2 hours later! Fo' shizzle. But if I only eat my protein, and maybe a bite (tiny bite) of a very well cooked veg, and a tiny bit of healthy fat, I am cool for about 3 hours. And that's only eating 1/4c of food per meal! LOL. Protein drinks do give me satiety. But for many, they do not! You know? Yogurt barely gives me satiety, but if I add low fat cottage cheese, then it keeps me for 3 hours, even at less than 1/2 c total volume. (I can have up to 1/2c of yogurt at this point.) So, THAT's why I responded as I did. To get more information from you, so we can possibly even stab at giving you AWESOME helpful advice. It was never meant to shame you! Sorry. And hope you stick around and keep fighting to win your surgery! If I eat slider foods, which I assure you even at 2 weeks I "could" theoretically do, they will wizz right past my new anatomy and go directly to my hips without passing go! -

So, not that I have the answers, but this is what I was doing. Maybe it will help? 1Brekky - decaff coffee and 9-10oz Premier Protein as creamer (23g P) 2nd Brekky - 1 egg softboiled (6g P) MS - Egg Salad (6g P) L - Egg Salad (6g P) AS - Yogurt/Cottage Cheese/Applesauce (15g P) D - 1.5oz dense protein of some kind (9g P) BS - Yogurt/Cottage Cheese/WF Blueberry Syrup (10g P) 75g P for the day! Voila!!! It's a lot of meals, but in the beginning we're only supposed to eat 1/4c of food max. As our volume increases, meals decrease. And you're only taking in 23g of P from protein drinks even only 2-3 weeks out? Hope that helps. Just word: MAKE SURE your poop chute is cleaned out from all the stuck-in crap from surgery or you will have constipation/blockages like nobody's beeswax!!! -
8 days post op. This is TMI but I managed to poop today for the first time after surgery! I am so relieved. It was firm but it wasn't hard to pass. I don't even know how I managed to do so when all I've been having is broth, herbal tea, fat free greek yogurt, and water. I am not hydrating as well as I should though, I think I get in 30-35 oz of water a day. My doctor recommended 65 oz at least. I am hoping other liquids count.

I do 1000-1200 calories per day. I get at least 60g of Protein. I eat a lot of veggies and fruit. I don't eat any refined high glycemic index carbs. (or a very tiny amount...never more than 75 calories in a day) I do eat low glycemic carbs like whole grains, beans, oatmeal, etc. And lots of very lean protein. Yogurt is another favorite. Stalls are just gonna happen. Your body has years of evolutionary defense mechanisms in place to help keep you from starving to death during famines and challenging years. It will do all sorts of nasty tricks to try to get you to return to your bad eating habits, and it will grind weight loss to a stop. Eventually, though....something has to give. You will lose weight. Be patient. Be consistent.

When does the hunger return?
sillykitty replied to sillykitty's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
How far out are you? I never felt any real restrictions with liquid-y foods, like yogurt or soup. I could keep eating, I just had to make myself stop when I felt satisfied. Solid foods like chicken though, yep, definitely feel the restriction after 1-2 oz, or even less sometimes. -
Has anyone taken this journey alone? Tips?
sillykitty replied to NYCNomad's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm confused by this too. My mom picked me up, but I seriously considered calling a Lyft. I don't think my hospital would have had an issue with that. We were going through the discharge process before my mom picked me up, and never asked how I was getting home. I've basically done this alone. I have friends and family nearby, but I just never needed anything. I got my meds a week before my surgery. I stocked the house with water, protein shakes, yogurt etc. If I had needed anything there are plenty of delivery services available. I've been fine and not once have I wished I had some help. -
When does the hunger return?
TakingABreak replied to sillykitty's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Everyone's restriction is different. I am almost 7 weeks post op. I remember when I took my bariatric class the nutritionist told us that everyone's pouch size would be different. Some would be 4 ounces, some would be 8 ounces. Plus as the swelling goes down, you will be able to eat more. Also it HIGHLY depends on what you are eating. Yogurt is very filling for me. -

March 5th 2018 is my date!
Polymorphing replied to survive.sleeve.slay's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@frust8 I've been doing really well! Today is day 7 post-op, and only today did my incision stop hurting with every little movement, now it only hurts with very specific movements. I was able to spring clean my make up collection, and get back to my skincare routine. I lost 14 pounds so far, and I am feeling great! I remember 14 pounds taking me two months of strict calorie counting, using the scale, and meal prep... I am definitely getting into the hype of WLS right now lol! I am regaining my energy a little bit at a time. But the hunger has been real. It could be my stomach acid but each morning I wake up with this gnawing hunger. Liquids, tea, broth, and yogurt help me keep it down by a lot. I am on the full liquids phase (can't have even blended soup! Just strained broth) till Sunday. My NUT is so strict but I think that's for the better. All the patients end up not vomiting even once. I simply can't wait to have my thai butternut squash soup, and sweet potato curry soup, mmmmm! -
Late-Feb sleevers
SleevedSoulSistah replied to bronzemeatloaf's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved on 2/28 too. Still on clear liquids and shakes until I have my follow up appointment on 3/8 when I’ll be able to switch over to full liquids to include creamy soups and yogurt. Thankfully I haven’t been hungry yet been hitting my protein goals much easier than my water goals. That’s cause I’ve made protein jello and protein popsicles. The Road 2 A Better Me -
I’m on week two post op and I was told for the next 3 weeks all I can have is two protein shakes a day, one item as a meal ( SF Jell-O or pudding, vegetable soup with no pasta or rice blended, plain Greek yogurt, farina and mashed potato made with chicken broth )48 to 96 ounces of water, one sugar-free ice pop – because I begged for a snack.

I met with the nutritionist at my surgeon's office and she told me for the first month of my insurance-mandated three month pre-op diet to limit carbs to just the morning and cut out carbonated drinks. Since I'd tried Aktins/Keto before I figured I'd just go with that. I met with her again five weeks later, having lost 13lb and based on my success she told me not to change a thing for month two. As for my routine: For work days I found the Kirkland (Costco) brand protein bars and have one for breakfast, then a hard boiled egg and/or string cheese for a morning snack. Lunch is spinach salad with carb free dressing, a chunk of some kind of lean meat (often leftover from the previous night's dinner), and some raw broccoli. Afternoon snack is a low carb yogurt and/or another string cheese. If I want a snack when I get home I'll have a chunk of cheddar or some pork rinds. I also bought some Carb-Quik baking mix on Amazon, it's like Bisquick but 95% fiber so very low net carbs and I'll have one or two biscuits made from that a day with butter to satisfy my bread craving. Dinner is more spinach salad, another chunk of meat/fish or a low-carb recipe like sausage and cream cheese stuffed jalapenos and a vegetable. Weekends are similar but I'll have eggs and a biscuit for breakfast instead of the protein bar and I also bought the 5lb drum of Cookies and Cream protein shake mix from Costco which I prefer to make with unsweetened almond milk instead of water. However, twice since I began I felt I ate too much the previous day so I did a full day of nothing but the protein drinks all day and a smaller dinner. Very important of course is getting the 64oz of water a day. I found boxes of 8 packets of Hawaiian Punch fruit punch and Wyler's lemonade for $1 each at a local discount store and stocked up big time to ensure I don't get tired of plain water. I'm also fortunate that my surgeon said I do not need to do a pre-op liquid diet as many surgeons recommend.

Any other April 2018 Sleevers?
Swedez716 replied to mitchjoann132010's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Mine is not necessarily a liquid diet, which surprised me. It is broken down into 5 small meals/snacks a day for two weeks- 1 meal consists of 4 oz of lean protein, 3 serving non-starchy vegetables, and two servings of fat. The other 4 meals/ snacks are either a protein shake of some sort, protein bar, or Greek yogurt/cottage cheese. -
I had surgery 2/28 so I'm 5 days out. I was hungry leaving the hospital and have been hungry since! LOL I not only have the hunger pain, but I sometimes have pain on my right side after I swallow anything. In the beginning it was excruciating, but it has lessened. I am able to hold down everything I'm allowed: water, sf popsicles, broth, yogurt, thin cream soups, sf pudding, and my protein shakes. The first two days home I had trouble reaching my water goals for SURE. I only got in about 16 to 20 oz. But by day 3, I finally hit 32 oz. Today, I hit 40 oz. So I'm definitely making progress. I'm getting all my protein from the protein shakes (with skim milk), Premier Protein Clear and yogurt which probably puts me right about 65-70 grams of protein a day. I'm relying on the shakes for my vitamins as well. NUT said to begin vitamin supplements on 3/7. I'm looking into getting some of the vitamin patches here on Bariatric Pal because it'd be one less thing to think about putting in my mouth! Today was my first day back at work and I was a little weak but I have a desk job. I wonder if the weakness is from a drastic calorie drop. I'm probably getting about 300 to 500 calories a day. (I also use Propel with electrolytes for my water goals, so I'm hoping my body appreciates that too.) I've been sleeping on my back which sucks because I'm a side sleeper but I don't want to mess my incisions up. They are a tad sore, but I have to really twist or hit a bump in the road to feel pain. They look good so far. I'm hoping the glue doesn't wear off too soon because I feel like I need the reinforcement for a good while! My one week post op is Thursday and hopefully I get a thumbs up from my doc. Oh, and I'm down 7 pounds since the surgery.

I have a nectar Protein Shake mixed with milk, Unjury chicken Soup, Premier Protein drinks and today I tried Okios triple zero vanilla yoghurt. Adding the yogurt (half a serving) boosted my calories to 650. No solid food or puréed food yet. Not feeling hungry at all.

Congrats on your date!! I'm April 10th! I have a hard time with the protein shakes I'm not a fan of thick drinks but my nutritionist gave me some ideas to work with. I don't do cottage e cheese either, so I figured during the pureed stage I'll mostly stick with eggs and triple zero yogurt. I guess we'll find out when we get to that point what agrees with our bodies.
