first emotional breakdown...13 dpo...RNY regret?!
Ready4theday replied to rny.newlife's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I absolutely understand! I had to do the same - 2 weeks of liquids pre-op, then 2 weeks of liquid post-op. I was so sick of protein shakes! Have you tried thinning out some yogurt? Soups? I finally got some clear protein drinks (lemonade and kiwi & berry from the Bariatric Pal store) and they were a nice break from the sweet protein shakes. I'd also mix a little sugar-free Hershey's syrup with my fair life milk to make high-protein chocolate milk. Hang in there! You'll make it! Make sure you're staying hydrated. That will keep you full longer. On my 3rd week post-op, I was able to have pureed foods and could definitely tell a difference in my energy level (a lot more energy!). Refried beans and little cheese were my go-to food as well as unflavored protein powder mixed with mashed potatoes thinned out with Fairlife milk, with a little cheese. Those were really good and filling. Today (week 5), I begin soft foods. I had some sliced turkey breast and avocado for lunch and my pouch has been ok with it so far. Stick with it! You'll get there and it will be worth it!! HW 280 CW 254 SW 274 DOS 8/24/17 -

I have been able to drink water and Powerade zero and manage to eat some yogurt but after a few days it's not easy but I think it gets better. -
How much sugar i in the yogurt...some have way too much sugar? Or change the brand.

Helpful, tasty products after surgery that you enjoyed or have found helpful.

HI, I like the syntrax nectar (they sell it in the store on this site). I got the sampler pack and it was fun to try different tastes - I mix it with a complimentary flavor* of yogurt and it is good! I tried the mix in water and it was not great tho. *Ex: I mix the peach flavor with peach yogurt. Caribbean Cooler is good in any fruit flavor yogurt. Hope this helps. -
I'm only a week out, so my lunch consists of a container of oikos triple zero Greek yogurt and a spoon!

Help with this forum
OutsideMatchInside replied to cotysmom2's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Are you on a PPI? Also band to sleevers don't always have the same post-op experience as first time WLS sleevers. 25 pounds in a month is a lot of weight. I am not sure if only should ever go in front of a 25 pound one month loss... If you have a good surgeon and heal well, eating shouldn't be an issue. Also your ability to eat things depends on what you are eating. 4 ounces of yogurt is going to be easy to eat, 4 ounces of steak, probably not. -
My typical lunchbox has: Breakfast | chia pudding : 2 Tbsp chia seeds + 2 Tbsp PB2 (powdered peanut butter - I LOVE it) + 1 scoop unflavored protein powder (unjury) + 1/2 Tbsp honey + 1/2 C skim milk = (326 calories, 30g carbs, 12g fiber, 16g sugar 8g fat, 36g protein) - This is easily my largest meal of the day and it takes me at least half an hour to eat it while working at my desk. Lunch | random leftovers - today's was 1/3 Chipolte - Chorizo Burrito W/white Rice and Cheese (3.0 oz) = (203 calories, 14g carbs, 1g fiber, 0g sugar 10g fat, 14g protein) Afternoon Snack | 1/2 cup of either : 4% Cottage cheese -- Or -- 4% Greek yogurt Fruit | today's was an apple Snacks in my drawer: Tuna packs + whole wheat crackers - My colleague lets me keep a little mayo in his mini-fridge Blue Diamond Smokehouse almonds - I go NUTS over these! Luna Protein bars Unjury protein powder - chicken soup flavor - great for when I don't have the chia pudding and need some extra protein Turkey jerky - a little bite helps keep me from trying to eat a whole snack when I know I don't need one

The Good The Bad & The Nasty
NikkiPen replied to KristyAB's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I had an issue with chewing 4 big chalky calcium tabs a day and went in search for solutions without it being a capsule either. I found this and I really enjoy it. Its the consistency of the drinkable yogurt. Tastes like a slightly tart blueberry yogurt shooter. Just 2 TBSP every morning -
How much can you eat?
GassyGurl replied to Molodyetz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 6 weeks post op. I can eat a 5oz container of Greek yogurt. Oatmeal, about 3 ounces. Meat, about 2.5 ounces. At first, it wasn't this much. But it depends on the type of food. Nutrient, protein dense vs slider foods seem to have different results. Sent from my XT1254 using BariatricPal mobile app -
I'm 2 weeks out from Lapband revision with Gastric bypass surgery and I also do well with the GenePro. Because it's 30gm protein per serving, I take it with a cup of crystal light in the morning & early evening. With approved low fat Greek yogurt, it meets my protein goal. Can't stand the taste of a few others that seemed tolerable prior to surgery. I found the GenePro at GNC. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm having similar problems--I've just eaten 5 ounces of the ricotta bake and I really had to force myself--I feel stuffed. And I'm still short of the protein goals for the day--had eggs and cheese for breakfast and yogurt for lunch. About the only thing I can see at this point is to drink the protein water (but I only have one bottle left, alas). That at least helps with the water goals as well as protein without filling me up. (I drink Atkins Lift; 20 grams of protein per bottle). I'm sure this is temporary and eventually I'll be able to eat enough. But it's tough now.

first emotional breakdown...13 dpo...RNY regret?!
GwennyPenny replied to rny.newlife's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Not long to wait now. Puree is better but even on liquids mix it up a bit. I bought some optifast desserts and made them thinner different taste you could have yogurt custard lump free soup I used bought pumpkin soup 1 spoonful of the thick soup watered down with stock like they did in hospital. It's really about being a bit creative Sent from my CPH1607 using BariatricPal mobile app -

My taste buds changed I was sleeved on 9/15 and can't stand the taste or smell of protein shakes. I've been trying all types to get my protein in. Instead of doing 3 shakes I'll do a isopure 40grams, Greek yogurt 15grams, and 6 grams with milk. I'm still on liquid so can't wait to change phase so I can get my protein.

September Sleevers- How are you feeling??
mikala3672 replied to Ash_Bri85's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi September Sleevers!! I was sleeved on 9/15 I had no pain the hospital stay was very relaxing did my walks on the hospital floor had to keep up with the old Asian guy that question why I was only doing one walk around and he does 4 so my competitive side came out and I had to do 5 rounds. Lol! Came home on 9/17 on a full liquid diet my shakes I could handle the first day and a half then my taste buds didn't want any so I had to try several different ones to get my protein. I'm kinda cheating substituting a shake meal for a yogurt that has 15grams. I've so far walked everyday and today I finally let out a tiny baby size pebble of poop so at least that still works. Good Luck everyone!! You got this! HW 233 SW 214 CW 208 GW 127 Height 5'1 -
Whos in September? We need some September buddies!
ratcat2 replied to janie2024's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm just now on full liquids. Surgery was 9/14. Clear liquids for Days 1-4, Full liquids for Days 4-14, then puréed foods and then soft foods. Are you still on clear liquids or full? On full liquids milky grits counts, as well as high protein yogurt, pudding, protein shakes. -

I think when you get on solid foods and are able to eat dense proteins you will find a different situation is at hand. I still have certain foods I can eat a lot of (soups, chili, yogurt) vs. when I eat dense protein and veggies. Also even if you find you can eat more than you should of something you have to work on the willpower to stop when you know you should. My NUT also had a good trick for me, when you feel hungry drink water and wait a few minutes. Often times it's head hunger.

September Sleevers- How are you feeling??
blondetbird replied to Ash_Bri85's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Was sleeved on 9/14. Day four post op here and I am starving. Can drink with no problems, loving the premier protein waters. I have had broth and yogurt today. Averaging about 250 calories a day. I am just praying this feeling of hunger goes away! Not much pain at all, but the roof of my mouth has been sore every since coming home from the hospital. Anyone use sugar free candy to help with hunger? Day of preop diet start. 253 SW 236 CW 233 -
I pretty much lived in the recliner for the first 3-4 days after surgery. I wouldn't say it's an absolute necessity, but if you have easy access to one, take advantage of it. I didn't have a walker, and after the first week I wouldn't have used it anyway. I completely lost my appetite for the first couple of weeks… it was like the early post sleeve days… I was living on protein shakes & Greek yogurt. If your surgeon hasn't provided it, full body compression garment is a must. And LOTS of pillows!! Good luck!

Able to eat soft foods 1 week post op
shanicebarry posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good evening, I am posting because my recovery has been a bit odd, I plan on contacting my doctor tomorrow, because I am able to eat soft foods without any issues. My scars have been healing well, I've been active and hungry, today I was able to eat 1/2 cup of cream of wheat, 1/4 cup of yogurt and a cheese stick. I don't know if this is normal, but I technically shouldn't be this advanced until next week. I'm losing weight, but I want to make sure that nothing has gone wrong. Is anyone else experiencing this? Thanks! -
What is a typical meal day in phases 2 and 3?
ZinNH replied to Mytimenow17's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm also in phase 2. I drink 3 protein shakes throughout the day. I have half a cup of Greek yogurt for lunch, and half a cup of cream of chicken soup (strained and mixed with milk) for dinner. calorie wise I'm coming in around 750 or so. I'm focusing on protein so my body can heal. The calorie counting and all that comes in later, once we've moved on to real food. -
I ate cereal for breakfast on Saturday. Everyone is different and everyone has different triggers. For me personally, it isn't a trigger food and I enjoy a change to my usual greek yogurt from time to time. I like the Special K protein cereals with a little Fairlife milk.

September Sleevers- How are you feeling??
shanicebarry replied to Ash_Bri85's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on 9/12. I have been doing well. I'm supposed to be on liquids, but I was feeling extremely weak, so I had some cream of wheat. I'm not having any issues getting foods down, and I don't feel sick afterwards, I have been loosing weight since surgery I lost 4lbs, bc the gas had to leave my system. With preop diet and surgery thus far I've lost 18 lbs. I'm not upset at how my weight is dropping I just want to work out honestly. I try to walk a lot during the day bc I love to exercise. I'm sure my doc will be mad that I advanced myself on soft foods 1 week early, but I need the energy. I go back to work tomorrow and everything has healed well for me. I'll try to eat healthier soft foods like non fat Greek yogurt tomorrow. But as for now all is well. I'm a very active person so I want to make sure that my metabolism can keep up with me. My stats are below. First visit: 245 lbs Before preop diet: 236 lbs After preop: 225 lbs Cw: 218 lbs
