Calling all October sleevers!!
belinda401 replied to Detroit_25's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was a month out of surgery yesterday. I am eating protein oatmeal in the AM - can usually eat about 1/2. I do refried beans with a little cheese and sour cream for lunch (about 1 1/2 ounces) can do a while Greek yogurt for a snack and then dinner is usually soup of some sort. I drink the premier protein water instead of the shakes. (Can't stomach them at all). I can eat scrambled eggs, boiled egg and that little triangle cheese. Also have he success with tuna (with a little mayo and relish). I can't stand canned chicken and wasn't able to tolerate a little crab salad but managed to eat a soft crab cake (or about 1/4 of it). I was talking to my NUT and she said she isn't a fan of the soft cheese at only a month out. Not sure I understand that one. -
Non refrigerated snacks
AZBlackhawk replied to mel1214's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree with almonds. Pistachios are amazing! I relied on Atkins protein bars when I went to a conference. Could you bring a lunch bag with a frozen thing to keep eggs or yogurt cold? -
Feeling much better, been eating baked chicken or yogurt and water. I’m gonna say it’s normal to have one of those days when u wanna cheat, This is new to me but I’ll make it through. I feel like I’m getting head hunger a lot so I usually just drink water or finish my work. Is it normal to no feel restriction tho, I usually stop myself so I don’t feel uncomfortable.

My personal VSG journey take 2
JerseyJules replied to JerseyJules's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
#1 Take an antacid if you already havent been, #2 call your doctor to see what he recommends cause it should be getting easier not harder. I will confess by week 3 I was thoroughly sick of crystal light and the sweet protein drinks. Try switching flavors or brands perhaps. Also try adding some salty foods/liquids like Tomato soups it might help break up the bleh feeling from the fake sweet. Once you get to eating somewhat normal foods it will be easier, but you really have to focus on the water and protein goals right now.. And dont eat Jello, it has ZERO nutritional value...Try Greek yogurt or Icelandic yougurt, I like a brand called "Siggis"... Add flavor to your water, Crystal light or Try tea...Whatever it takes to get the liquids, you dont want to wind up on an IV in the ER for dehydration.. But call your Dr for some real advice first. -
Hello, I've never actually posted on here before this is my first post, and I'm coming here because I'm scared I'm eating or consuming too much. I haven't gained any weight or anything, so really I have no reason to be concerned but I guess it's just some late night anxiety? So a little about me: I'm 14 months post-op. I was 336 pounds when I started the surgery journey, 302 pounds on the day of surgery, I blew past my surgeons goal of about 220LB's, my own goal of 199LB's, and currently weigh 156 LB's. I'm 24 a 5ft 9inch male. What I currently eat and have been eating like on a typical day I'd say for about the last 6 months usually looks something like this: Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese and 3 frozen sausage links About 2 and a half hours later: A Fruit (usually a banana, grapes, or an orange.) About 2 Hours after that: Ham and cheese or turkey and cheese wrap on a whole wheat wrap About 2 Hours Later: Strawberry Greek Yogurt About 3 Hours later: About half a bowl or I guess maybe a small bowl of Chicken Stir Fry (Usually has Chicken, Corn, Greenbeans, Broccoli, and Pea's in it) About 2 Hours after that usually another Fruit (again a banana, grapes, or orange usually whatever I didn't have earlier that day.) In between that I'm usually drinking water and 1 cup of 1% milk a day. Obviously this isn't what I eat EVERY day but I'd say it's pretty typical. Something similar or along these lines, I don't always eat the same amount. Some days I might only have 1 snack, some days I might not have any. I'm just worried about consuming a lot of food. I know my appetite has increased the last few months and my doctor said it would I just want to make sure it's increased to a normal amount. So does this seem to be about what you guys can eat a year out or later or does it seem like a lot.

You know I had that...really really bad pain in between my breasts. THAT'S where your new stomache is. We always think it's like below our ribs. I figured out that mine will what I call seize up if I am super hungry. Terrible awful pain. So that's why sometimes I make a yogurt with protein powder in it (like PB protein powder) and thin it with a little water. Just to put something THICKER than LIQUID in it. That seems to do the trick. Like I wake up every morning with that pain cuz I'm starving. I can't wait for puree foods!!! Good luck but just be careful in case it's not your new tummy.

Surgery on the 9th and I feel hungry is that normal?? Help
michelelouise posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi , I feel like I'm doing it all wrong. Mine was done at a surgery center, sent home in a couple hours and was told i can do the funnel diet for the first two weeks. So Ive had a little scrambled eggs greek yogurt broth. Not quite sure how much of those things I'm able to have (serving size) I'm very confused.. -
OK I had a bit of a setback. I am lactose intolerant. Been for years. I tried many products before surgery and they sat ok with me. Typically Whey Isolate is ok VS the other whey. Greek yogurt typically doesn't bother me but non-greek does. Well....I had pure diarrhea early this morning for at least 3 hours non stop. I KNOW I cannot afford to lose liquid like that. I'll get dehydrated. I have not yet managed to get to 64 oz or more a day. I thought I would be able to no problem but I cannot yet. SO....I decided to go back to liquids for today and kinda reset my gut. I asked my nurse if I could become MORE lactose intolerant and she said absolutely. So no dairy, whey, yogurt or even lactose free milk for me today. I'm FREAKIN STARVING. At least I'm getting my liquids in! I am BEYOND ready to move to puree stage. I can't until after Nov 29th meeting with surgeon. At least then I can get in chicken and fish for protein and not rely so much on dairy products. This NOTHING but some form of dairy for almost a week was my downfall today. I will try at least ONE meal with protein drink tomorrow see how I feel. I'm terrified of losing what little hair I have left so I need that protein. As far as incisions, nothing has ever pained or hurt me. I walked my dogs daily. Yesterday I did 3 miles. Slower than normal but 3. Today I did a shorter one because (a) I'm back working and (b) I almost felt like I had low blood sugar from not eating. Nov 29th...HURRY!!

Genepro Users-check this out.
Tarver11 replied to Stevehud's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Better late than never, I use Genepro daily as a supplement to protein I take in via food. It is approved by my nutritionist, however I do not count it as 30 grams of protein, i count it as 15. I mix it in with my morning hot tea, greek yogurt, diet grape crandberry juice and pb2. I am 4 months out, down 68 pounds and all of my lab work has come back perfect. For me personally, it truly is the best supplement. -

@up4challenge "do or do not, there is no try" - Yoda glad you will push the fluids. food suggestions? you MUST have protein. ie eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese, other cheese too. protein bars are quick energy too (QNC - 20 gr. protein) fish, chicken - meat in general have plenty of protein, almonds (nuts) plenty of foods mentioned by OP here. also recipes to follow. sending good vibrations your way. eating and drinking to your health. kathy -
November sleevers
LylaLovesCoffee replied to BabyFat23's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My incision pain is at a 2½ now compared to the 6 it was in the hospital. I too am moving around more. Just last night I started rolling over in bed. Can't stay in that position for very long but it's something. I am getting my fluids in I have an app I put in how much I've been drinking and it's been keeping "score" for me. I'm managing almost 50 oz a day of water give or take. I'm also having popsicles and protein drinks as well as yogurt and jello. I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week. I don't want to think about cooking. I'm still a bit too tired for that activity. These healing naps are for the birds and I miss out on all the good stuff. Anyone else napping? -
Thanks it was one of those bad nights for me, I had water and yogurt this morning, I plan on going to the store and get more and apple sauce, I feel I am back on track today, prayed about it and I feel much better today.

chewing instead of blending
GassyGurl replied to Okoro's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I never blended anything. I chose soft stuff like yogurt, cheese, canned chicken and chewed it till mush. My Dr was OK with this. Sent from my XT1254 using BariatricPal mobile app -
I eat two egg whites, fried in Pam, with no fat cheese at breakfast. I always eat 3oz of whatever meat at the other two meals rounded out with 1-2 oz of (green beans, roasted squash). I have three snacks each day out of: triple zero yogurt, two lifts cheese sticks or a shake made of 4 strawberries, 1/2 cup blueberries, 6 oz water and a scoop of protein powder. I’m at ~ 1,000 cals a day, but I workout quite a bit.

I love my instant pot!!!! I have had it for about a year and it makes everything even yogurt though I haven't tried that one

Was sleeved 10/30 and started the Soft and Moist foods this week and so much happier. I'm done with jello, Kool aid, popsicle and on to food. Went through our Kaiser handouts and The Idiots Guide, Everything your need to know about WLS, Bariatrtic Cookbook and one other and wrote down ALL of the ingredients needed for this stage. Sent my husband out to get everything and now have a good idea of what I want to eat for the three meals a day. I'm on this stage for four weeks, and needed something other than eggs. I had banana/yogurt smoothie today and it was OH.MY.GOD.GOOD. I don't think I couldl've been on the liquid diet longer than the week I was on it.

Struggling with fatigue and lethargy
GreenTealael replied to AbbeySteel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi there I had the same problem when I hit the 1 week mark, I think it was lack of food so I added the yogurt in my diet (I was on fluids only by choice) give other allowed foods a try and let me know how it goes -

Deemar007 replied to CurvyCakes's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Hello Roadrunner, Congratulations on your surgery date. I have not been able to find a food menu for the Proteinaholic book either. At first, we can't eat from his menu. i have been able to get my protein in. However, i have not been just plant based. No meats, but cottage cheese, yogurts ect. Since I'm just 7 weeks out, i copped out and ate dairy. I do eat legumes, peanut butter, nuts now, so that helps. -
oh no that is NOT good. You should tell your team. I have liquid tylenol but have not needed it. My surgeon has me on Prilosec for months. I have to open the pull and put the beads in sugar free applesauce or yogurt & have that each day. He told me we have the same acid being produced with a smaller stomache so this is to keep the acid at bay so that the staple line etc heals. I would def tell my team about that. Also, start sipping constantly. You need to hydrate. My nurse told me it was more important at this stage than trying to get in the protein. That a whole host of things can happen if we get dehydrated. Good luck...I iwouldn't take anymore of that.

Feeling no restriction at all :(
futureslimmama replied to dzelaya90's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree with the above. I always felt hungry until I was placed on protonix and Zantac. Now I am hungry if I skip a meal or its meal times. Also wanted to add that I do feel restriction with soft foods, yogurt and tuna. But the restriction is worse with chicken and fish and meats as stated above. -
I think it's a good thinkgto be on the liquid diet. I was sleeved 2 days before you and don't think my gut would handle digesting anything but. I think our poor stomachs just need to heal. Even though I WANT to eat so bad! People told me that my taste would change....and yup it has. I normally, in a course of former tummy, drank 80-100 ozs of water a day. Now my new stomach doesn't even LIKE plain water. I get cramps. But I can have vitamin water. Go figure. I just dilute it half and half. This is what I'm doing to get around not being able to tolerate stuff in order to get in protein and liquids. For my meals, I sometimes have hot tea with unflavored protein. I bought Genpro from AMazon. Not cheap but gives 30 grams per scoop. I mix it with a little bit of water to thin paste consistancy then I add it to my hot tea. I will also do this with bone broth. Just make sure you mix it FIRST. I have Unjury unflavored but have not tried it yet. MOST people rave about the Unjury chicken soup flavored one. When I feel I need to "eat" vs drink, I will mix 1/4 cup 0 or 2% plain fage yogurt with a scoop of Inspire peanutbutter cup. I will add a tablespoon or so to thin it a bit. That gives me at least 26 grams protein. Hope some of these ideas help you.

It's not silly, at least not in my opinion. I think if it were fresh strawberries it might be difficult to digest. But since strawberry yogurt doesn't usually have fresh strawberries it seems fine. At least it didn't cause me any issues.

What you wish you'd known before having weight loss surgery
Diana_in_Philly replied to UndercoverDiet's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
That the first three to six weeks are going to feel like forever. I had two weeks of full liquids (yogurt, soup, shakes) right after surgery then two weeks of purees (ricotta bake, tuna salad, chicken salad) and then finally to soft foods. Can i tell you I never thought a scrambled egg would taste so good. Get moving and cleared for exercise as soon as you are able. it will make recovery so much easier. -
I was allowed three shakes and three additions (yogurt, unsweetened applesauce, and fat free sugar free pudding and all the jello I️ wanted) it was hard but I made it. It wasn’t easy but it’s doable! YOU CAN DO IT!!!
