WHHooohoooooo! I am down 7 lbs, I only have 4 more to go to be under 300 lbs. Can I get a Whot Whot!!! Hell Yes. I have worked out everyday and I feel great. It gets so much easier when you do it everyday. My dd is doing so good and working out with me. "Small nsv" we went to the store today to get the last few things I needed for surgery. We went past the cookies, and my ds said "mom lets get cookies", Before I could say anything My dd piped up and said "Kaleb, thats not very healthy". All I did was smile. We then went and got yogurt instead.. I went and had my "last supper" today. I went to cici's for cinn rolls. I did good and had a big salad with low fat dressing and 3 cinn rolls. That will be the last time I ever have a cinn roll from cici's. I will never go back... I tried on a pair of shorts today and could not get them buttoned but I did get them over my hips.. LOL they are safe in my dresser and waiting till the day I can put them on, button them, and have lots of room to move... I have 7 days left... Yeahhhhh This waiting is KILLING me. While I wait: 1 1/2 hours on cross trainer 300 crunches 100 leg lifts 3 sets 15 curls 3 sets 15 press DD 20 mins cross trainer 100 crunches 50 jumpin jacks 28 leg lifts

I'll be on regular food next Friday, the 16th. I feel I'm way past just liquids, pudding and yogurt.

Got my second fill yesterday, and I can finally tell that I have some restriction. I did only liquids yesterday and didnt get hungry. Today I can do mushy foods and I was only able to eat half a yogurt this morning. So hang in there it will finally come at some point. Good luck.

You are very welcome. A slight unfill might be in order. You don't have to have all of the fill you had put in removed. I did that once. When I could not even get yogurt down, I knew I needed the unfill. I am blaming Wheelchair for my woes last night. Due to asking this question I was jinxed! I got stuck on a turkey burger. One of the worst episodes I've had in a while. One of these days I will learn that I really ought not to attempt eat the bun. AT ALL. Sometimes I can tolerate a few bites of it if I tear away the bottom and use it as a handle. Other times, no go. And usually my bites are just too big for my own good. It's something about holding the burger, I just tend to shove too much in. 3 years, and I am still learning. The ground turkey was a new food for me, as hamburger and veggie burgers just don't tend to work for me. The turkey was fine, but something else not so fine. I also didn't stop soon enough. (sigh) Sometimes we don't take our own advice. I am on shakes and liquids today. But still, I wouldn't trade my band to be back near my high weight and on BP meds and nearing diabetes.

Kay Adams replied to drummer's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Well u r lucky to only have 5days of liquids. My doc put us on 3 weeks of liquids and some minor food like oatmeal, yogurt, chicken, fish and salad. So this will be very difficult for me. But its a means to and end. -
Does anyone have snacks
RNBSN786 replied to msshellg's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I eat string cheese, yogurt (i have that for Breakfast and also for a snack when needed), cottage cheese, nuts, sugar free pudding, tbsp Peanut Butter, tbsp low fat cream cheese, laughing cow cheese...for some reason, cheese goes down easily for me. I have started to eat blueberries and have had watermelon in the past which I love. Apples I struggle with but I peel the skin off and then eat them. I cant seem to eat salads..it hurts a lot. I am 12 weeks out...3 months out. So I am still struggling with food. Oh I also have Protein shakes for my snack too. I also eat 5-6 small portions through out the date. Cant seem to eat denser meals. -
6+ Months Postop - How Many Ounces Firm Protein Each Meal?
Diana_in_Philly replied to erniesmom863's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Trust your tummy, but, especially if you are exercising heavily, try to get some more protein in - even if its throwing in a shake. Last night I was at my fencing club for 2 hours and burned about 1,000 calories. I had consumed about 600 calories before going during the course of the day and ate a protein bar as I drove home to boost things. Today I will concentrate more on protein as well. Had a nice shake for breakfast and will have some yogurt pretty soon! -
Hi all, I had my sleeve surgery on 4/13/16. So I'm almost 2 mo. out. Glad to finally make it to eating almost all foods. Here are some things that have caused slight problems. anyone else experience this. Hard to get these to move through stomach: --swallowing pills (even after cutting in half) --Fiber foods like cereals (raisin bran, Kashi) --whole grain oatmeal --crackers Any suggestions? Are there some foods that no matter how far out from surgery you decide just to avoid?? Also my weight loss has slowed. What helps most: exercise drinking lots of Water eating less, and only eating Protein and frozen veg eating NO sweets or Desserts I try to eat yogurt with fruit when i want something sweet. Also I have resumed drinking coffee in a.m. but not sure how to do it since you can't eat and drink at same time. So is it best to have a cup of coffee and wait 1 hr before Breakfast. Or to eat something first thing like an egg cooked, then wait an hr before having coffee? thanks in advance,

Seems carb heavy. Fruit or raisins for a snack would just make me want more carbs. Crackers and cheese for lunch, well there are just better options. Stick to the basics. Proteins like chicken, fish, lean meat. Eat it on some salad if you like. Carrot stuffing, potatoes, etc.....carb, carb, carb. It is just my opinion but I’d back down the carbs while you are still so soon out from surgery. You don’t need potatoes, or stuffing.You need protein, and non starchy veggies, maybe a few berries if room. Why not some Greek yogurt for a snack?

I couldn't stand the Protein drinks at all and so I started eating mushies a couple of weeks earlier than advised. I am now 5 weeks out and I can eat just about anything (slowly and in small amounts), As you know, you have to keep hydrated - have you tried some of the crystal lite additives, or even just a squirt of lemon in your Water? My NUT said that I was becoming "protein intolerant" and so I had to force myself to eat as much mushy stuff as I could stand - liverwurst, tuna, cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese. Can you drink milk ? I certainly wouldn't be concerned about keeping things low fat at this point. You need to eat! What kind of infections did you have? Were you on antibiotics? They can really mess with the flora in your stomach. You may want to make sure you are eating live culture yogurt or take some acidolpholous supplements. I pray that you heal quickly and that your stomach stops being so sensitive.

6 weeks post op-What size meals are people eating?
Juba replied to onajournee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 9 weeks out today and my meal sizes are still pretty small. I have zero hunger, like I mean I am never hungry and pretty much force myself to eat. The only way I know my body is hungry is that I find myself yawning or I just start not feeling great. I have gotten really good at reading the signs my body is showing me, because I do not get any brain signal of hunger anymore. I would prefer to just have 3 meals per day but in order to get my Protein quantities in I have to eat more like 4-5 times/day. I drink a 1-1/2 scoop protein shake for Breakfast (with a bunch of things added i.e. green powder etc), mid morning I have a small snack (i.e. 1/2 cup of greek yogurt), lunch would be maybe 1/2 cup chili, dinner maybe 2-3oz of meat and maybe 1-2 pieces of veggie (i.e. steamed broccoli). If I can I will try and eat a small piece of turkey pepperoni or turkey Jerky in the afternoons. That's it, I'm lucky if I hit 800 calories in a day, it's typically more like 600-700. I rarely have room for veggies or fruit which I miss ALOT but protein is obviously the priority. I add an organic greens powder to my morning shake to try and compensate for the deficiency. -
what do you recommend to "eat" after surgery?

Thanks for your response! What is greek style yogurt? -
Do I get another fill? NEED EXPERIENCED BANDSTER INPUT
kleinow01 replied to MollyRN's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Personally, I would hold off on the fill. Sounds like you may need to eat more protein to help keep you full. Do you have some protein powder you could add to yogurt or something like that? Have you been keeping track of how much protein your eating daily? I have only had a total of 3 fills and I am almost at my goal weight. Good luck! Chew lots and keep eating slow! Have a great day -
What Do U Mean By That?
Webchickadee replied to bandalyons83's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Early on I thought I was having problems with dairy, but eventually I figured out that the very loose stools were due to the post-op antibiotics. It cleared up as soon as I finished taking the antibiotics, and started eating mushies and solids. I have not problems with dairy now (5+ months post-op), but I don't drink regular milk (only unsweetened almond milk, once in a while). cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. are all well tolerated (and loved!) Now my biggest challenge is eating too fast (I still haven't learned how to slow down enough!), and occasionally eating too much . Just ONE bite too much can send me into bad stomach pain and I have to lie down or walk around (no sitting, crunching my stomach together even more!). And I get the "slimies" where I have excess saliva production, have to swallow alot and wait for it to pass. Not fun! I also get hiccups when I'm full or slightly past full. -

One week post op protein makes me sick
MariaElena1983 replied to KerryRNY04162015's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
After my surgery I could never drink the protein shakes. I still can't. I am 11 weeks post op. Right after my surgery I barely drank protein. I waited until I got to the puréed stage and I would eat cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, puréed beans, and I even puréed certain meats. I just tried to get as much of those high protein foods in. Skim milk has like 9 grams per serving. I would try and drink milk as much as possible even though I hate it. I still don't get enough protein. I try but I can't only eat so much meat. I have actually began to hate meat. I want to become a vegetarian but I would never get any protein because I can't stand the shakes lol. -
I'm going to splurge on a new popsicle mold this summer. I make my own. I find that the summer fruits when in season can be pureed and set in a mold as is since they tend to be sweet enough on their own. Occasionally I may blend some greek yogurt for cream-sicles or switch it up and add whole berries to a puree to set. Like pureed kiwi with pitted and halved cherries. It looks pretty and taste great!

I'm about 5 weeks post op almost 6 now. I still can not tolerate much. My new tummy hates mashed potatoes, refried beans, avocado, chicken, tuna, and now even my protein shakes. A sip in and up it comes. Im living off iced tea, strained soup and yogurt and sick of it!!! My nut says some heal faster than others and dont get discouraged but how can I not? Im starting to feel regret. A month and a half later and I think, "will I ever eat again???" I have lost weight, yes. But is it because of the constant vomiting??? Ive already been hospitalized for dehydration because I couldnt keep fluids down. Had several infections, and now just sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. Please help. The constant regret and negative thoughts are taking over.

My cheat..
FunkyMunkyBrat replied to FunkyMunkyBrat's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I'm not giving you hell, I'm simply pointing out a different way of thinking. And curious. Why did you NEED something off your plan? Just as there is a huge difference between cheat and choice, there is a big difference between NEED and WANT. Spaghetti squash is a great choic nutrtionally but not neccessarily soon post op. The stringy texture was a no no on my plan for three to four months. Same with string cheese, celery, asparagus... LMAO.. I know you're not.. I meant I was going to tag you to tease.. Just playful shit.. My choices for food is.. Veggie Soup which sucks and I'm going to buy stuff to make my own.. Greek yogurt which I love.. But veggies wise is.. Baby carrots, cukes, tomato, broccoli (which I'm not a big fan of), sf pudding, sf Jello,.. And I'm kinda guessing their keeping it like that for people that get overwhelmed and end up making bad decisions.. But I am going to call in the am n talk to my nut about it all.. This is just week 1 of a 2wk diet they want me to do for 4 wks n don't even have a surgery date yet.. I'm not post op .. I'm pre and no date even yet but everything is complete and they just ha to submit to my insurance.. My next appt is 20th.. *fingers crossed* Munky -
What Did You Drink On Full Liquid Diet?
lml32937 replied to Bcole's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had soups, sf tapioca, yogurt, string cheese, cottage cheese, protein drinks, sf carnation instant breakfast, gogurts but mostly soups.... -
Once you can eat yogurt, you can mix it with sugar-free syrups and maybe some PB2 (powdered peanut butter that you can find online). It tastes sort of like pudding but has lots of protein and is very filling and satisfying.

The best little gadget I've invested in is the dessert Bullet. It's the coolest thing ever! You just put fresh frozen fruit in it and it comes out ice cream consistency. You don't have to add anything else to it if you Don't want to. My daughter likes to freeze yogurt cubes in the ice tray and adds it to the fruit (and of course chocolate chips ect..) I don't add anything And it's perfect!!! Highly recommended:)

What did you eat today? Sleeve.... need new ideas
HousecallsNP replied to Scottyd1264's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 5 weeks out....I am in stage of eating soft Proteins only with exception of a few soft veges like green Beans, yellow squash, zucchini with goal of 60-80gms Protein. Breakfast: 3/4 of a soft scrambled egg with nonfat American cheese or Premier Protein shake Lunch: chicken salad made with plain yogurt seasoned with Hidden Valley Ranch dry mix, s&p, pickle juice, onion powder Snack: protein shake or nonfat greek yogurt Dinner: pinto beans topped with melted part skim mozzarella cheese Snack: protein shake or nonfat greek yogurt -
Syntrax Nectars. come in various fruit flavors.. I mix with appropriate flavor of crystal lite, 1/2 cup of some kind of fruit & some ice. Syntrax will send you samples for 1.00/flavor. www.si03.com 90 to 100 calories, 23 grams Protein, 0 carbs per scoop. Whey Protein Isolate. My surgeon prefers us to get our protein from "real food", but if we're too tight in the am to eat or we need liquid after a fill, etc. This is the brand he recommends. It can also be mixed into plain yogurt or even eaten straight like a pixie stick. Roadside Lemonade is very good and so is the new flavor Pink Grapefruit. Fuzzy Navel is excellent. I don't think they have a flavor I have disliked. I use 1/2 scoop in some crystal lite or Powerade zero after my weight lifting or bootcamp to help restore the muscles I just got through stressing.
