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 -

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!!!

YES! Right inbetween my breasts. It's like my stomach is seizing up. We all think our stomach is the middle of our body but it's actually up higher. It does that when I've gone a long time without drinking protein (what I call eating LOL) or liquids. Like middle of the night when you've been sleeping 5 hours. A few nights I actually got up and took some sips of protein drink or had some yogurt. My nurse told me not to do that. But jeez...there have been times in my life before surgery where I have been STARVING during the night and couldn't sleep till I had a yogurt or oatmeal or toast or something. I feel it's no different.

One of my staples is Icelandic Plain Yogurt from Trader Joe's. It has 22 grams of protein per container and not much sugar. I add canned fruits, like peaches mashed up or applesauce. Before surgery I was adding blueberries & strawberries. My diet doesn't allow fresh fruits or veggies for the first month post op. I guess it's had to digest without it being canned or cooked.

Describe your liquid diet?
LifesGood replied to JuniperBug's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My liquid diet for pre op was 2 unjury protien shakes that had 1% milk and 2 unjury shakes that were with water such as crystal light or there is a chicken flavor. Also sugar free yogurt and puddings and oatmeal in the morning. If I got all my protein for the day I was able to eat certain raw veggies and use fage as a dip and use Mrs dash for seasoning . Hope this eas helpful Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app -
Pre op Liquid diet SOOOO hard
confusedturtle3 replied to Jayluv's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am only allowed broth, protein shakes, liquids I can see through and 1 Greek yogurt per day. It has been rough but mostly with fighting the head hunger. I desperately want a cookie, a grape or Chinese food but I am not hungry I just want them. I haven’t given in because I know that this is what is best for me and that I only want those because I can’t have them. Today starts day 3 and I am down 5 lbs already. I notice that the days I have school (went back to college) I am ok but my days off are torture. Today I’m off so I plan to fill my spare time with homework and either a trip to the gym or a workout video at home. So far so good. That is great that you are feeling a difference clothing wise, congratulations you are doing great [emoji16]. We will all do great and get healthier together [emoji1360] Have a great day!

I've had both yogurt and cottage cheese with strawberries and had no problems. I think you'll be fine.

Daily Menu Thread for the Wk 11.05.17-11.11.17
FluffyChix replied to FluffyChix's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Tuesday Menu-Well I had another near miss with falling off the diet train yesterday. I credit the power of a full belly via lunch, and also credit mindfulness with keeping me sane and eating healthy-on plan food. Instead of having a mini binge or rather a hedonistic meal, I was able to feed myself a very filling and healthy lunch which allowed me to really get in touch with my feelings so I could process them. And that allowed me to make and eat a very delish, simple, and healthy dinner rather than shoving carby, salty, fatty food down my piehole. This morning I woke up in a much better frame of mind and feel like I "won the day." B-yogurt/cottage cheese blueberries almonds and Fiber One cereal bowl with 1oz Fairlife skim milk, 2 pieces bacon MS-carrots and hummus L-Fried Egg and Swiss low carb wrap AS-psylli tea, peanut butter and GS apple D-blackened tilapia, green beans in garlic and olive oil, Greek salad with Nicoise olives and feta BS-pomegranate seeds, Lily's SF dark chocolate chips, toasted almonds Daily Totals: 1493cals; 98g protein; 80g fat; 93g carbs; 39g fiber; 54g net carbs (Dayum! I have GOT to get my protein down and my fat up! This is entirely too much protein for me.) -
I was sleeved 11/8 and I am on only full liquids until 11/29. I cannot wait to get on puree foods. Other than broths, teas, waters, protein shakes, Vitamin water, jello, popsicles, about the only thing I can have right now with any substance is yogurt and I take full advantage of that. I'm not sure if they took enough of the grehlin part of my stomache out. Cuz I get mighty hungry and it's not head hunger (have that alot too) but true my gut flipping around hunger. So I will take a scoop of protein mix and swirl it into 1/4 cup of yogurt with some water to thin and eat that to feel like I'm eating something! My next step is puree foods then soft foods. Soft foods are scrambled eggs n cheese, soft fishes, tender chicken, yogurt, cottage cheese, RICOTTA BAKE I can't wait to eat that! LOL! good luck

If yogurt with strawberries freak you out. Consider eating a yogurt without strawberries?

I attended my last pre-op MD visit and pre op visit today which included a class on the pre and post op diet. I was expecting something way tougher based on my reading here. What I received was: PreOp: Starting 2 weeks prior to surgery date, daily diet is: -3x Nectar or Unjury protein shake -1/2 cup oatmeal or cream of wheat -1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce -1 cup of vegetables -1/2 cup of light n fit or carb master yogurt -1 cup of low fat soup This is not an "or" list, but rather I'm supposed to eat everything on that list daily on the 2 week pre op diet. -1 day prior to surgery = clear liquids only. Curious as to why different surgeons have such drastically different requirements for the pre op diet? Also of note, for post op, they only have you on clear liquids for the first 2 days, then full liquids and purees from day 3-20, soft foods (meaning can be cut with a fork) from week 3-6, then all normal food after 6 weeks with the exception of bread/rice/pasta, which cannot have until 12 weeks.

Thoughts on Protein Powders (Premier, Unjury, etc.)
mylighthouse replied to ToughButFair's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If sweet drinks aren't your cup of tea, then don't waste your money. Unflavored Unjury and Isopure brands were fantastic. You can mix them into just about any drink, but my favorite was to mix it into decaf unsweetened iced tea. It helped me a lot through the early months. Plus, you can mix it into yogurt, cottage cheese, etc if you need to add a boost to your protein. -
I need help this might be silly but I’m cleared to have yogurt and I read a lot of people here don’t eat strawberries because of the little seeds getting stuck in the staples causing a leak my yogurt has strawberries in it and I’m kinda freaking out here

November sleevers
LylaLovesCoffee replied to BabyFat23's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@TINK09 I'm on full liquids. I can have the protein drinks and yogurt and anything from the clears, which I really enjoy. And I also can have coffee... but only 12 oz a day. -

Need Advice/help 4 months post op
Sosewsue61 replied to sleevedshereen's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Oh Shereen!! So sorry you are in dire straits. You need to get in touch with your surgeon. How come you are not drinking? Is water an issue going down? Try warm tea or hot chocolate protein drink. Do you have too much restriction? Nausea? It could be a stricture keeping you from getting food down. What about greek yogurt or cottage cheese? Your kidneys will shut down if you don't drink. -
4 Week Post-Op Liquid Diet
Berry78 replied to ToughButFair's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Even though you are feeling great, your stomach won't be healed for 8 or 9 weeks. 4 weeks is longer than most, but mine wasn't that far off. For me it was a week of clear liquids, a week of full liquids, then a week of thin yogurt (pour off the spoon), then a week of thicker (sit on the spoon). So, although that last week I couldn't have sipped through a straw, it was still just yogurt, cottage cheese, and things like that. Just take it day by day, and one day it'll all be ancient history -
Is cottage cheese and yogurt part of the Pureed stage

Welp, I'm on the other side of the dreaded surgery. Not too bad, really! The worst part was my shoulders aching due to them filling my belly with air for the surgery, and the air bubbles migrating to my shoulders. The actual wounds never hurt much beyond day 2. I haven't taken pain meds since day 2 post op. I do feel mightily bloated, but that's just uncomfortable - not painful, per se. I've been eating liquids only. Soups, home-made smoothies, yogurt, jello, pudding, popsicles. Really it's been mainly smoothies in the morning and soup the remainder of the day with an applesauce or jello thrown in. I'M HUNGRY!!! Doc says not to deprive myself, but I feel like I'm eating more often than I was. I'm hopeful that I'm losing weight during this time period, though. Today I plugged in the old Fit Bit to charge it and re-set my goals. Time to get moving a bit! I'm also finding some time to organize my clutter a bit, so my mind is more clear, too. It's not too much - mostly re-arranging things since our move to a smaller home 8 months ago. I visit the doc tomorrow for my post op. It's my hope he'll give me a fill then and I can start on solids! I'm tired of liquids, and tired of being hungry! The bandages over my wounds are scratching me to hell. I think I'm allergic. I have an area where the corner of one bandage was where the skin is gone. I've got a call into the doc to ask if I can take the waterproof covers off the steri stips. Then I think I'll be a bit more comfortable. So far, so good!
