I’m 11 days post op and today I ate 1280 calories in soup and yogurt. I don’t get it. I don’t have problems eating too much or getting sick. I feel overly full sometimes like today but never enough to vomit or dump. I can drink water normally and never have had a problem with that... other people I know can only eat 2-4 ounces at a time... I hope this changes when I go to puréed and soft foods... otherwise idk why I did this surgery!!! I thought I’d be much more restricted than I am.

Need a surgery buddy..Sept 26tg
Eeniebeenie replied to traceybishop1977's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Upon discharge, my surgeon put me on a full liquid diet. I think it's similar to the pureed. I am allowed to have soups that I've put through the blender, pudding, yogurt, tomato soup, protein drinks, milk, etc. After I go back to see the surgeon next Tuesday, I believe they will upgrade me to the Soft/mushy stage which includes soft/cooked veggies, canned fruit and bananas, tuna and chicken salad, eggs, beans, cottage cheese, etc. I'm most looking forward to the cottage cheese, it's one of my favorite foods! I've had a little nausea, but not too bad. I don't really feel hungry at all yet, I have to make myself eat. I'm hitting my 64 oz goal but it's not easy. I have to remember to sip constantly! And I used to drink a ton of water, but like you said, there's just a tiny little stomach left now! -
Full Fat Mayo, cottage cheese, and yogurt
DropWt4Life replied to Nancy MBGC's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I don't tend to add mayo to my foods, because I really don't need to. I actually like tuna with a little lemon pepper and that is it...No salt either. I can eat it right out of the pouch. I don't like yogurt either, so I don't eat that at all. I love cottage cheese though. I prefer the 2% milkfat version though, but only because it is more palatable to me. I only eat it every long once in a while, so it probably doesn't even make a difference either way. I don't eat low carb at all. I eat whatever I want, but within reason. I am pretty disciplined, and don't crave garbage. I can eat so little that I would rather fill my stomach with real food. Not processed food, but not super fatty food either. I love vegetables and ancient grains (quinoa, millet, buckwheat, etc.). I also love salmon and tuna. Chicken and turkey are okay, but I don't really care for pork or red meat. I also eat egg whites a couple of times per week. I do get my fats from fish, an occasional chicken or turkey breast, avocados, some cheese (cottage, pepperjack or cheddar), nuts, flax, hemp and chia seeds, and an occasional dose of olive and/or coconut oil. There is tons of conflicting information out there, and the food and beverage industry loves that. At my kid's school, pepperoni pizza is considered okay as it is a grain, a vegetable, a milk product and a meat. They do offer salads and fresh fruit as well, which is a plus, but most don't get those. I tell my daughter that balance is important. If you eat the pizza, have a salad first. Then if you still want the pizza, have it. Either eat the fresh fruit, or wrap it up, and take it for snack later. She can use the added carbs as she is an athlete. -
Our plan is generous, but we are only allowed stuff like apple sauce or soft canned fruits, added to yogurt starting week 3. Other than that, it's once we reach 75% of our weight loss (or 1 year) then after eating our protein, we can have veggies. If still hungry in the 30 minute window, we can add a serving of fruit. All plans are different! Sent from my XT1254 using BariatricPal mobile app

This liquid diet is killing me
FluffyChix replied to theresa_86's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
I've been experimenting pre-surgery so that I have an easy-ish road map to follow after surgery. Have you tried adding unflavored protein powder to regular soups? I make homemade chicken broth from trimmed scraps and bones that I would otherwise throw away. It makes about 3-4 cups at a time and is fairly quick to make. So I take a cup of broth and nuke it for a few seconds until it's about 135*. Then add in my Isopure Unflavored protein powder and if I need to, will add just a touch of Better Than Bouillon to boost the flavor. You can also stir in a spoon or two of cream of anything to the soup. It's really delish. I also do that with V-8 and warm it up for a tomato soup, or just add the protein to tomato soup or bisque. You can stir in a spoon of yogurt and spices/herbs to make it creamy tomato. I also do it for cream soups from a can. -
What I did was made a list of all the protein-containing foods. Then I worked with this list to tell me what to eat. From softest to toughest: Milk Cottage cheese/yogurt Eggs Beans Soft fish Tuna salad / tofu Rotisserie chicken thigh Nuts All other meats Until about 10 weeks postop I didn't have room for anything else. I gradually brought in veggies, fruits, and potatoes as I had room (while keeping my protein up around 70g). It takes a long time. 6 months before having room for a serving of potatoes. I was so excited 2 days ago. I got these wonderful, homegrown, red sweet peppers, and I could just eat a whole one like an apple. I have so missed fresh, crunchy veggies... So y'alls time will come. I am steering clear of grains until goal.

Hi Guys.. having problems eating at the moment, had band adjustment of 1ml... 29/9/17.. so now at 4.8ml... since having it done I am having problems whilst eating. I get a pain where my band is and everything feels stuck. I have a backed up feeling from my band up my throat.. I thought maybe I just need to keep on the fluids longer then start on soft food.. but as of yet i am still keeping on fluids as it hurts too much to eat. I dont want to get anything taken out but at the same time do i need to? Unsure of what to do. I feel like the food could come up at any time when im trying to eat. Fluids are ok ish.. yogurts/light custard are sticking too and causing a pain. Sick of cuppa soups/soups... any advice PLEASE.

UPDATE: So I'm 3 weeks post op I'm on my second stage which is textured and soft foods. I basically have been eating normal but healthy of coarse. So salads, Greek yogurt, grilled chicken and sometimes nuts. I've even tried the kind protein bars. I'm doing great the trick is to eat slow and I'm doing ok with that. I'm still doing 1 protein shake a day and that's ok too I'm learning to add bananas and peanut butter protein to make them taste different I've even tried mango from the Bariatric pal website. So far I've lost 22 lbs total I started at 306 and I'm now 284 as of tonight. I feel like I need to start incorporating some cardio and weights into my routine. I can feel my skin getting softer and more grab-able. It's scaring me. I'm excited to see what the next couple of weeks has to offer [emoji847]

Hey! I just tried a new yogurt that was full of chia seeds! Lol. The gift that keeps on giving (finding a few seeds stuck in my teeth...).

Hi everybody. I started my pre op liquid diet and I’m 4 days in. It’s not easy. I feel lightheaded and have no energy. I try to keep busy as much as possible. I drink protein shakes, jello sf, O% fat Greek yogurt and homemade soups. I can eat puréed soups as well right? Like broccoli soup or pumpkin soup. Why are all pre op diets so different? Some can eat lean meats or fish. Would it be really bad if I just ate some cooked tuna or chicken? Btw my surgery date is Oct 12

Update: Down 24 lbs since surgery - 37 lbs since my high 2 months ago. Pretty much sustaining myself on greek yogurt, scrambled eggs and protein bars. Protein water (lemon) instead of protein shakes (because I hate them all), and would love to say I'm getting all of my water in. I'm not. But doing my best. Trying to eat as much protein as possible at each meal. Looking forward for the 19th when I will be on "normal" food. Any other updates from everyone? Where are you? How are you doing? What are you eating? Are you still tired? I feel like I'm starting to come out of the tired phase. Even did a 2.5 mile hike on Sunday. Progress.

MCT Oil, Keto..an alternate way to eat Post VGS
GeTnBackuP replied to GeTnBackuP's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So I asked my NUT about fat yesterday and she said not to waste the calories on something that has no nutritional value. I was talking about mixing a mashed avocado with tuna instead of using mayo. I dont understand that logic. I understand the protein thing, I get that, but what about the fat portion. I cannot eat tuna dry and if I dont use mayo why is the avocado just as bad? Do I use greek yogurt instead? Thats fine but I feel like as s a NUT she should have explained that to a newbie...It's comments like that that confuse me. Im trying to swap out the bad fat for the good avocado and I just dont get it....which is sort of what prompted the question about the MCT oil. I know how to eat well, my problem is with portion control. That will be taken care of real soon so Im back to what's ok and what's not with a sleeve. Maybe Im just thinking too much- lol, my head is swimming with questions! I'll be following you, clearly you're doing something right -
I eat an Oikos lemon meringue yougurt for my morning snack. Yummy! There are tons of different yogurt flavors out there.

8 months out, 85 lbs down!
Nancy MBGC replied to sonkat5355's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
What kind of yogurt do you eat? Can one get away with a 2% fat one with fruit, even though it contains sugar? -
Hi, 8 months from surgery and 85 lbs down! I'm very happy i chose to do this. I'm 62, 5ft 5 in and was about 277 and now 192 so i have 42 more lbs to reach my goal of 150! I have to admit I love Skinny Popcorn. It has not hurt my weight loss but I feel guilty eating it. Does anyone else eat it? I still eat very little and no other junk food, protein, cheese, meat, yogurt, etc. Hope everyone else is doing well and if you are considering surgery, please just do it!!!

Items to have on hand post-op
ProfessorSlim replied to allie2's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
sugar free pudding is Ok? That is awesome, because I hate yogurt -
I'm 18 days post-op, still on a full liquid diet. I have noticed that when I eat yogurt (the heaviest thing I currently eat) I am in the bathroom exactly 6 hours later, even if that is 1 am. I'm wondering about when I start eating solid food, will I always have a middle of the night bathroom run? Also, when my intestines get active they are really noisy...like rumbling across the room noisy. Is all this just part of healing or am I going to have to get used to having an alien reside in my belly?

Hi all, I had my surgery 9/15. I'm feeling great and am pleased with my weight loss at this point in the game. This weekend I moved onto Stage 3, moist chicken, fish, scrambled egg etc. After weeks of soups and yogurt I am very happy to be in this phase. My question to you is what and how much are you eating? Hope you are all doing well! Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Traveling after surgery
Sosewsue61 replied to Staci1211's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Are you flying and renting a car? or driving? Take your own cute thermos (Sip by S'Well) with you - empty of course in suitcase, and get a little individual blender. Pack some gasx strips, vitamins, stool softeners, etc. If renting a car, go to a grocery and get some protein waters, yogurts, string cheese, milk, protein bars, individual packets of nut butters, small bag of almonds - if you tolerate them. Put a couple of these items in a fanny pack or small day pack. Keep liquid with you all day, try to eat something in between actual meals because you won't know exact times you will eat or how long waiting times will be in lines. Just pick protein first when dining. Have fun. -
Basically, the only things I eat (18 days postop) are: -light and fit greek yogurt -morningstar spicy black bean 'burger' -cottage cheese -premier protein shake -eggs I can't think of anything else to eat either. Meat gets stuck, even deli meat, so I'm not bothering with meat at this point. But I too am getting bored with what I'm eating. What is everyone else eating?
-
I can only offer anecdotal advice but you are not eating enough protein or taking in enough fluids. Try sugar free popsicles, some greek yogurt, hot tea, bone broth in between meals. You must eat and drink even though you don't feel like it. Add a protein shake/liquid even if you can't eat something. Have you brought this up with your surgical team?

I like to keep it simple. 1. Cottage cheese (or yogurt) and fruit 2. black beans and sweet potato 3. Spinach and banana smoothie

90 Days Out - Menu Ideas?
Meryline replied to GinaLola's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Right now I'm eating 150g (5oz) Skyr (high protein yogurt) with 20g of flaxseeds and a nectarine in it. In about 3 hours I'll have a 5 oz portion of stew (lean meat, potatoes, carrots and celery root) 3 hours later I'll have ground chicken fajitas with bellpeppers (5oz total), a little cheddar and some sour cream (No tortilla) 3 hours after that I'm having 100g of smoked salmon on a piece of Protein bread and humus And for an evening snack I'll have 1-2 mozzarella sticks That is around 1100-1200 kcal 112g of protein, 53g of fat and 46g of carbs A normal day for me is usually 1-2 cold meals and 3 warm meals. I meal prep and always have my freezer stacked with 3-4 options of pre portioned 5 oz meals to take to work and heat up. Without it I know this wouldn't have worked. Almost always when I make dinner I make a larger portion, so I can freeze the rest -

Ill be trying more Morningstar products. Simple ingredients, great tastes!
