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)

Ways to switch up the pre op diet!
x0CheekzVSG posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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!!! -

Hard boiled eggs or edamame and garbanzo bean salad. Soups in a thermos. Yogurt frozen before you pack it. If you can stomach it at the point chicken salad made with plain Greek yogurt or smashed avacodo. HW-292 • SW (6/29/17) 256.6 • CW 230.2

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.

I need help with breakfast
Debbie623 replied to MIMISAN's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 3 weeks post-op. I eat Greek yogurt or cottage cheese with applesauce. I plan to try egg salad next. These are all easy. You can buy the eggs already hard-boiled to make your own, or find a good deli. Are you a Pinner? I have found many good recipes on Pinterest. Good Luck!! -
I've got my Date Oct. 19, Anyone close to that?

@@Julie Broderick Nelson I'm the 19th also. I had all my pre-op tests yesterday and have been on liquid /yogurt diet since last week-yuck- I am just trying to stay focused and positive. I have set a small goal to learn how to swim- which means buying a bathing suit!! YIKES!! Getting nervous but excited -

Newtum replied to Trisha213's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Agreed!! Can't believe you can have turkey already!! I'm on clear liquids and proteins for two weeks then yogurt, applesauce, etc. Definitely a ways away from "real food"! -
Easy? hell no! Not here anyway For snacks, I still eat yogurt, but like I said plain Greek with stevia and a bit of frozen blueberries does the trick. Snacks are also things like low sodium lunch meat. Or a bit of cheese. If I need crunch I do kims magic pops with hummus.
-
I agree about the greek yogurt. Some of them are loaded with sugar. Make sure you are eating one that is sugar free, or, like Oregon said, buy plain and sweeten it yourself (that's what I do).

I asked about carbs because I was higher than most gals here but that's what worked for me. I started out no higher than 40 but once I adjusted to 75 or so a day I was losing at the same pace but felt a million times better. Mentally and also with that desire to graze/binge I get due to a diet that makes me feel deprived. I ask because everyone is different so if your body can handle more carbs without a setback and without it triggering you, I'd eat more. Why restrict more than you need to? This is a huge reason why 1) I track religiously and 2) I give each diet adjustment at least a week or two before declaring it a success or loss. If you know exactly what you're eating and you're weighing regularly you can see how the two work together. I lost no differently on higher carbs. In fact, in maintenance I eat 120-140 a day on normal days. It makes no difference to my body - I still lose at a poky pace if I restrict down to 40 a day, so why go through that if I don't need to? So, when I asked about your carbs, my concern was that your desire to do the sliders might be due to deprivation or that you might be one of those few that needs a different mix to lose effectively. Don't be afraid to experiment. What works for you is probably not what worked for me, or the next person, either. Figure it out and go with that - there is no perfect answer or we'd all get to goal in a flash and stay there forever. Good luck, ~Cheri And for the record? I do the real deal on everything - but I can do that without going ape on junk food (usually!) so my yogurt is the Chobani and it just happens to be fat free but it's definitely got carbs.

I am pretty sure something is not right, and I have an appointment with my doctor on Monday morning. But I was just wondering what it could be since I couldn't find anything concrete when I looked up my symptoms. I'm kinda freaking out and having to wait the whole weekend is making it even worse. I can't eat anything . Even sliders feel stuck....takes me an hour to eat 1/2 cup of soup and it feels like I have to burp all the time. I can't even drink coffee till about 11am...it comes back up. I have a sore throat too, but not sure if it's related since I've had a bad cold for the past 3-4 wks, which turned into a sinus infection. I have not had a fill since September...but these symptoms just started about 2 weeks ago, getting progressively worse. When I was sick, I vomited several times, and so I stopped solids and just started to eat sliders thinking maybe it will help my band that was irritated due to vomitting. But sliders aren't sliding, even soup is hard to eat now. I just feel like a giant burp is stuck is my throat and I can't get it out. My only savior is hot tea....unfortunately it has no calories. I've been managing to get 300-600 calories per day between yogurt, soup, and thin protein shakes. I will be lying if I said I wasn't scared right now...

From Feeling Great To Feeling Blah!
Ms skinniness replied to koriswlj's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try taking your vits at bedtime with some yogurt to coat your stomach. Try introducing foods that get you nauseous at a very slow pace. This is hard work to get to know our body. I have been very lucky with no complications or nauseousness. However, I do under eat my sleeve so I don't get uncomfortable. Keep trying, it will get better when you take your PPI. -
Three days post surgery, and I'm freaking out...
lapband88 replied to MediaGurl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded 8/20, 3rd day post op for me. I am feeling like you do and thought I made a mistake!!! :confused: I can't keep ANY fluids down (water, chicken broth, gatorade) so I am feeling sick because I guess I am dehydrated as well. I can't even swallow 1/4 of a pill as it seems to get stuck in my chest and it hurts bad... then it will regurgitate and I will end up vomiting to feel better... Does anyone have advice for me? I am seeing my doctor in the morning... I went walking just now and ate some yogurt while I was at it, it did make me feel better, some regurgitation but the feeling of swelling is less now... I hope things will be better ASAP as I am losing hope.... -
It gets easier, but truthfully i am 10 weeks out and if i eat anything to dense( ie i still cannot eat chicken salad!) its like your having major chest pains. And then whoopsie, back up it comes. Stick to the purées and yogurts as long as you need, good luck!
-
I am really looking forward to being filled on Mar 2nd. I am getting no restriction and it is scary. I know everyone says that eating until you are not hungry anymore is part of it, but if I was able to do that, I wouldn't have needed the band in the first place. I'm managing though. So far, so good. I wasn't that hungry this morning, so I'm just drinking a yogurt. I still am not ready to go out with friends. I don't trust myself.

Do you have any food restrictions? i'm 6 weeks post op and can eat anything, i have trouble with hamburger though. I eat: salmon cups (in the same area as the tuna) lots and lots of white fish (orange roughy, tilapia) and sometimes swordfish although only once a week pork chops chicken greek yogurt Protein shakes (normally for breakfast) center cut lean bacon weight watchers string cheese and if I'm really feeling carbtastic i eat: thomas bagel thin (only 100 calories!) frozen yogurt fat free pudding a slice of pizza (totallllly my weakness haha) I need to work on the veggie intake, i don't like them so much :-/

September Sleevers....whatcha eat in' now?
Hockey momma replied to auntjanny's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi, I was sleeved Sept 24th and am struggling with the soft food stage. I can eat cheese (string) with no problems, most Soups, oatmeal (but only about 2oz), small tiny bites of grilled chicken and potato (again 2oz). I cannot eat eggs, Peanut Butter or tuna. Both things I loved before but get sick immediately and vomit. I can eat some yogurts but some can cause instant nausea, depends on the day I guess. Milk in general is a no no. I can eat crackers if I let them dissolve in my mouth completely...they help with the salt craving and the texture craving. I am going to go back a couple steps and get back into soups and watery oatmeal for mornings. I get my Protein daily but only because I add my unflavored mix to everything I do eat. I do drink lots and lots of Water. I am getting tons of slime, even after eating even the things that I can handle so I am asking my doc about going back on Levsin to calm my tummy back down. My husband had the sleeve two years ago and can eat sugar with no problem. I can NOT eat sugar without an immediate dumping. I get nauseated, cramp, break out into a sweat and feel horrible. So I am checking labels like crazy now. Cheers to all you sleevers...it is a huge struggle to eat! J -
I had surgery 4/9/2012, I was terriried that my hair would fall out. My doctor's office could not stress enough that if you get your protein minimum 64 grams/day you will not loose your hair. I make sure that I get about 80 grams of protein a day buy drinking 64 grms in a protein shake, cottage cheese and yogurt. I have not noticed any hair loss what so ever. I also take the Botin as my doctors suggested. Please up your protein and start taking Biotin it will help.

Am I Being A Pig Already?
rhondarina replied to happy1957's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm the same. Liquids go down really easy. That includes pureed/liquified foods. I can eat 4oz probably 6oz if I tried of yogurt. I'm almost 3 weeks out. I really trying not to push myself though. Even though I know I can eat more of these mushee foods I try to limit myself at one sitting. Something I noticed I can't eat really is mushy potatoes. One or two bites and it makes me full. So I think once I go to dense proteins, I will feel restriction. As it is now, I usually feel very little restriction.
