1200 calories 6 months out
JamieLogical replied to mercy96's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
How much are you getting? I am getting just about 100 grams a day. I had to add in some carbs when I started doing Couch to 5k, so I put some granola in my afternoon greek yogurt now, since that's the last thing I eat before my workouts. Seems to have helped a little, but I avoid carbs the rest of the time. -
I just thought of buffalo sauce in with my greek yogurt ranch... if you like buffalo chicken.

The dreaded dumping syndrome!
Tgarden replied to MrsGloMartin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am almost 4 weeks out, and knock on wood have not had anything related to dumping!! As far as Protein, I know I need to get some more in, but like someone else on here said, there is only so much sweet, artificially made protein a person can consume!!! I have found that the Pure Protein drinks sit best with me. 23 g protein, and they come in an aluminum bottle in a 4 pack. I get them at my grocery store. As far as yogurt, I started off with the Yoplait light, and they have some good flavors that sat really well with me. Then I noticed that the Chobani Greek yogurts have almost the same sugars and carbs with NO artificial anything, so I switched to them. So nice to not taste that sickly aftertaste that everything sugar free seems to have! The activia greek is also good and goes down well with me. I am on mushies right now (refried Beans, yogurt, grits, mashed potatoes, pureed casseroles, ets.) but can progress to soft foods tomorrow. I'm a little worried that I won't be able to get down anything new. I think I'll start with unflavored oatmeal and see how that sits! Blessings to you all on this journey! -
Hey everyone, I'm nine days post op and feeling well, no pain from my surgery, I'm mobile and doing my Wiifit exercises 30 mins to an hour everyday with no soreness or stiffness, and I've lost a total of 24 lbs since my surgery on the 21st. I'm very pleased with my surgeon, Dr. Alehy Tohamy (hope that's spelled correctly) his nurses and staff at weight Loss and Metabolic Surgery, 8815 Germantown Ave. Phladelphia, PA 19118, you guys here at bariatricpal.com, and most importantly, my hubby for all of his love and support. I've been following my doctor and nutritionist's orders word for word, making sure to get in all of my fluids and Protein everyday as best as I can. I've never hit the 75 grams of protein per day however, since my surgery. Prior to surgery it was a piece of cake. I drank my shakes everyday, added protein to my Water and sipped on it as long as it took me to get it in, which sometimes ended up being a daylong event but nonetheless I got it all in. However, after surgery this has proven to be an arduous task. My taste buds have been altered because everything that i loved prior to surgery (sf popscicles, decaf coffee, unflavored whey protein, broth, etc.) now tastes horrible and really makes my stomach go flip flopping all over the place for hours, which I just found out after crying to my dr. that I am experiencng "dumping syndrome." I prayed yesterday after I tried mixing the Protein powder with some pureed banana, Lactaid milk, and ice cubes in my blender till it was shake consistency and drinking it that either I was allergic to some ingredient in the protein powder or my new stomach just simply does not like protein. Today I spoke to Dr. Tahomey and explained all the I've been experiencing in detail over the last four days and he explained to me that yes. this is the dreaded "dumping sydrome" that I've been trying to avoid, and yes, it is possible that my new stomach does not like to texture, taste, or consistency of the protein powder. I feel so relieved but this does nothing to help me with my need to get in enough protein to meet my quota for the day. Dr. Tahome suggested that I experiment with new ways of getting my protein in like adding it to plain yogurt with some fresh fruit that has been pureed, adding protein to my oatmeal in the morning. If anyone has any other suggestions I would love to hear them. This is only day nine for me and I'm sure I will be posting for more help as I enter stage three of my post surgery diet. Have a great day everyone!!!

The dreaded dumping syndrome!
volkitteh replied to MrsGloMartin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started with myoplex original. Like most low sugar the taste isn't wonderful but they're passable at least and I didn't actually mind the taste. And best part is each one has 42g of protein so that's half way to daily requirement. Luckily I haven't had dumping yet but if my Greek yogurt has too high sugar(over about 10 for me) I get a little queasy. And if you find something that works, get a lot of them lol. Best of luck! -

Share your fav Pre-Op Shake/Meal
dFaults replied to GavynsMum's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ahh, good insight! But for the indvidul shakes can you mix all of the fruit/protein/milk/yogurt to get rid of the grit? I tried the nectar with water yesterday and thought I was going to puke.. -
I just had my first full liquids "meal". It was about four spoonfuls of greek yogurt. I added some honey. I'm full now. I'm also planning on watermelon pieces (chewed well) and soup. Trader Joe's has a selection of creamed soups that look good. I got a Stonyfield Farm's drinkable yogurt and I'm definitely going to do smoothies, too. I'm feeling pretty great after that yogurt. Maybe I'm not lactose intolerant? I was worried about that - because people talk about that happening even if you weren't lactose intolerant before.

When does hunger return?
s0ulfulglitz replied to chamilton0323's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
that's so crazy how every doctor and every program is a bit different but we all are working towards the same results. I started a blended diet the 2nd weeks out, if i was comfortable, but i wasn't ready yet - and 3rd and now 4th week incorporating yogurt, apple sauce, and protein shakes in. i'm going in for my month checkup to review next steps in meal planning and nutrition. keep up the great work!! -
Hi everyone, I'm one week post op and I feel awful! My first stage post-op was one week clear liquids only.... No protein, no vitamins, nothing! Just clear liquids. Needless to say I've been miserable since I got home. I'm lightheaded, dizzy, lethargic, irritable, etc. (my poor husband). Today I started stage 2 which is full liquids. I had 2 protein shakes, a yogurt shake and of course water. I was hoping I would feel better now that I'm getting nutrients again, but I still feel the same. To top it all off, I've had terrible diarrhea since I got home. I mean crampingly bad. My a** is legit sore from it. PLEASE tell me this gets better? I'm about to spiral out into a serious depression.

I'm just over 3 months out and eating about 600-800 calories a day. I've had a couple 1000 days this month but it was two days that I ate things I shouldn't over my birthday weekend. How much I can eat is depends on the density of the food. Solid meats ensure that I will never get to any vegetables. I always eat my protein first. I can eat two eggs for breakfast but only one if I choose to make a slice of bacon. I have good restriction and have zero hunger. If I didn't eat until I was hungry I would go all day without eating. I never feel sensations of hunger. I plan breakfast and dinner and eat lunch when I think about it but most times I end up just snacking. My favorite snacks are Greek yogurt, cheese sticks wrapped with a piece of ham, almonds, walnuts, or protein shakes. I'm halfway to goal with 40 pounds to go. My weight loss is slow compared to others but I am happy with how things are going. With all my stalls my skin has had a good chance to bounce back. And at 50, my skin needs all the help it can get:-)

chicken or beef???
housecatgirl replied to housecatgirl's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
socalgal3, sounds like you have perfect restriction. I wouldn't mind at all if I was only tight in the morning. Last night I was able to get maybe 1/2 (or close to it) shredded chicken taco down. Tonight I don't think I could handle a cup of yogurt. I have the golf ball with liquid. -
@@Djmohr hi I had my surgery on April 23 thus far from before surgery and post I lost 45 pounds. For Two Weeks I'm Stalling, my fluids I'm getting better at it and I stop taking my protein and vitamins which I started again this week. I walk my job I walk and constantly on my feet. I gained about 3 ounces my routine now is I wake up and take my protein, for lunch I will have mash potato and a little gravy. In between I try fruit which the only one I can deal with is cantaloupe or strawberry, and later have a yogurt. This is really my day. This is new to me and someone just refer me to this site and said it will be helpful. And thank you for the the time to reply.

It depends on how big they are. Most programs say you can have pills that are smaller than an M&M. But if it's bigger than that, you may want to crush it, cut it in half, or -- in the case of a capsule -- empty it out into yogurt or something. I would discuss this with your surgeon and/or PCP as there may also be an alternative form such as a liquid for your particular medicine.

String cheese, Babybels, or Laughing Cow on Wasa cracker Pickled or deviled eggs Jerky - if anyone can suggest a VERY low sodium variety or brand, please advise! Leftover marinated and grilled ANYTHING - after the weekend there is always something left from the grill. Very often I have bite size chunks of cold chicken, steak, shrimp, pork, even cod or haddock in a baggie in my purse. I just make sure to eat it within a couple of hours. Leftover meats in small amounts are my mainstay. Tinned smoked oysters, tuna in the pouch Nori - dried seaweed Raw almonds Greek yogurt 2% with raw sunflower seeds thrown in. If I'm feeling decadent, I add a spoon of honey. Leftover sashimi (within one day)

So I am on day 4 of my pre op liquid diet, and so far so good. I am allowed 3 Protein shakes a day, broth, SF jello(which I hate) and two 100 calorie yogurts a day. I have been eating everything but the Jello and I am so sick of broth!!!!! If I drink another cup of broth I might puke! Just want to know if anyone had any ideas on something I can add to my broth to give it a different taste? Really desperate and in need of help!!! -

A year out on December 2nd. Ask me anything
MsShortyDee replied to MsShortyDee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It depends on my day or mood. Also depends on if I’m at work. Work days I eat at 6:45am. I eat protein first. That could be a yogurt or egg or oatmeal or even chicken. Lunch I can eat a salad or chicken and a vegetable and same for lunch. I eat my last meal around 7 or 8pm. I eat three meals and two snacks. I have coffee early in the morning. Small portions are s key. I do cheat sometimes. I don’t deprive myself of anything. I have my lemon drop cookies. I even have my chicken strips from Popeyes. My cat [emoji250] helps me eat those. Lol -
I was banded on Monday and have the tight pulling sensation at the port too..........when I stand up it feels like it is getting streched and it hurts..............does this mean it is healing up ..........sometimes it feels like something is being streched so hard it will fall out. I am on full liquids. So that includes yogurt w/no fruit, Soups, cream soups, Jello, pudding, popsicles...........that is about it. Made potatoe Soup and pureed it been eating yogurt for Breakfast and lunch and soup for dinner. I get gas with everything I eat or the burps..........weird, weird feelings in my stomach all week. I am still in pain. Not on pain meds but hard to sleep at night and move around during the day. I drove today but I plan to hold off on that tomorrow...........it hurt quite a bit. Also went grocery shopping and it exhausted me I had to cancel the other errands I was just to tired.......... So nice to hear other people are having some of the same issues. I thought I was just a being a wimp!!

Yes, I had the same problem. Liquid yogurt helped for me at least!

Ok, so I forgot to pack milk the other day. I went to Starbucks and ordered a short FF steamed milk with sugar free vanilla flavoring. I mixed it with Unjury chocolate splendor. It was so good, I almost felt guilty. The pre op diet shouldn't be this easy! Also, I mixed the strawberry sorbet with Fage fat free plain yogurt. It was really really good as well. I do t usually like chocolate or strawberry protein shakes, so I was surprised by these. Glad I bought the sample pack. Also, I tried the steamed milk with syntrax nectar choc truffle and that was really good too. Hope I still like these after.
