Help!! Food demons and I'm barely 2 weeks post op!!
Allie589 posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Last night I took my kids to a birthday party. The spread she had was insane-make your own sandwiches and tons of amazing salads and fruit, dips and veggies and then she has 10 pizzas delivered and the good kind too, no cardboard delivery, the uber delicious kind. I'll be two weeks on Monday, haven't even graduated to purees yet and the only reason I didn't take a bite of something is because I physically can't because of healing. I left the party. I couldn't take it. Am I hungry? Possibly bc I'm living on liquids. I went home, had my fat free Greek yogurt with monk fruit sweetener and was absolutely full, couldn't even finish the yogurt. I am freaking out bc what happens when I am all healed and can take a bite? Will I be satisfied if I have a piece of cheese and a couple veggies at a party like this? Omg-it was so bad last night and I am terrified I am going to fail. Any words of wisdom? I think I'm going to pursue hypnotherapy. 5'7 HW: 256 SW: 248 CW: ?

My surgery is on the 28th! I am in the middle of my 2 week liquid diet, all I do right now is crave food. My shakes and allowable foods are so sickingly sweet. I actually put salt and pepper in the one plain yogurt I am allowed a day. It's getting easier day by day. i can't wait to have the surgery. It has been a loooooooong wait!

Today is my 4th day post op. Feeling ok. Walking around a bit and only managing some yogurt or fat free sugar free pudding. Will try a no fat cream soup today. Still get sharp pains once in a while which I attribute to the gas. Tired and napping here and there, but definitely have some energy. Incisions are a little sore but not problematic. I do struggle with getting enough water. Am trying, but not hitting 64oz a day. Need to work on that Good luck to everyone 👍🏻

Any August 2017 Sleevers?
SpindleCity replied to Jessalene's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery in Massachusetts on Tuesday, 8/15, so am 4 days post op. I am doing great with my protocol's Stage III diet (shakes, yogurt, applesauce, broth, jello), but surprised to still be needing the strong pain medications. I have always had a very high pain tolerance compared to most folks, so I wasn't expecting to still be having surges of 7/8/9 on the pain scale at this point if I skip a dose. In neutral positions (lying flat, sitting reclined, standing) I am basically pain free, but any shifting or anything that uses my stomach muscles is excruciating at the two largest incision sites if I haven't taken the meds. Well, I guess that's why they were prescribed, right? And today is better than yesterday, etc. Looking forward to hanging out with all of you on this journey. Our local support group meets once a month, and every three months I will have a work conflict, so I am grateful to find this place and other voices to connect with. -
Reaction to my whey powder? Best other protein?
Berry78 replied to GotProlactinoma's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Absolutely not true. I haven't had protein powder since trying it those first couple weeks postop (and trying it one more time 3 months post). My protein goal is 70g and I always get at least 65g. Blended tuna salad was actually good after all the milk and broth. I only had it a couple times since I preferred greek yogurt and cottage cheese..fewer dishes to wash! Lol! The sugar in the kefir IS a trade off. It'll knock you out of ketosis, but that kefir really will help you meet those protein goals. You don't have to be in ketosis to lose weight. Remember, the liquid diet isn't forever. Once you move to solids you can always go back onto a keto diet if you want. To me, those first two months are about healing, not weight loss, so I did what I had to to support that healing (i.e. meeting goals). And even with that outlook, I lost 30lbs the first 2 months. -
Can sugar substitutes be avoided?
Allie589 replied to gotime0810's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I've been having such bathroom issues post surgery and I think it's from all of the artificial sweeteners in these protein water/zero calorie/zero carb drinks. When I was on my diet roller coaster I always hated how weight watchers pushed diet sodas and sugar free stuff. I purchased some granulated monk fruit sweetener for post op to add to my plain Greek yogurt and I seem to tolerate it well. Someone in my bariatric support group told me that she totally tollerates maple syrup and honey-never had a dumping episode with either. I cannot wait to be healed enough to get rid of the artificial stuff in these protein waters. For now I need the liquid and protein so I'm going to hang on for a little longer, but like you, I've avoided them for so long and definitely feel they're sending me into bathroom fits. -
Of course! 8oz ricotta 1/2 cup cheese-- I used cheddar jack 1 large egg, beaten 1/4 cup fat free Greek yogurt 1/2 small can diced green chilies (mild) Salt and pepper to taste 1/2 cup shredded cheddar jack Lightly beat egg, add to all ingredients (except cheese for topping), mix well. Divide evenly into mini muffin tins. Top with remaining cheese. Bake at 450 for 20 mins. Serve topped with a dollop of ff Greek yogurt. I did not find chiles too spicy or upsetting in any way--everyone is different I'm sure. I did freak out a little with the skins on the green chiles, but they really are already so mushy. This recipe was very much based on Eggface's recipe, which I also enjoy: http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2007/08/pureed-foods.html?m=1 Though I used a sweet potato tomato sauce instead of marinara because I thought something less acidic would be a good idea (plus I just really enjoy the sauce): http://nataliaskitchen.net/sweet_potato_sauce/ Let me know how you like it!

New here, but 6 months out
monalyssa33 replied to monalyssa33's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My daily eating is varied. I eat a lot of Greek yogurt, peanut butter, cheese, frozen meals (which I'm usually never able to finish and what is left is almost always is the pasta or rice portion), I make mini pizzas with high fiber flatbreads that I get from Aldi. I also make these Fiber One haystack cookies that I have every night because they help keep me regular. They are just basically a bag of chocolate chips melted with a scoop of peanut butter, then I add a scoop of protein powder and stir in a packet of Fiber One cereal. I put it on a plate and freeze it. They are actually surprisingly good and I look forward to them. -

Cut Calories and Excercise and no weight loss
bwillia08 replied to bwillia08's topic in Fitness & Exercise
Hi All, so here is the update from about a week of adjusting my diet. Started about 269-270. For the past week I've tracked my carb intake at 50-60/ day. BF: Vega protein shake with almond milk snack: half a quest protein bar lunch salad with extra meat snack: nuts or yogurt dinner: chix with veggies no breads, oatmeals or anything like that. I upped my water intake. I could prob seriously decrease my coffee intake. I drink about 20 oz in the morning and maybe 16 throughout the day. Terrible I know. Right now I'm at about 264.5 and I've been working out. Should this have been more? I'm just hoping that I'll keep losing. I really really want to get out of the 260's I've been there for over a year now. Should I still follow up with my Surgeon? Thanks everyone! -
No secrets! Just keep on keepin on! I got stuck again for a few weeks at 188. Now I'm finally in the 170's. I think it is just the nature of the beast for some of us. Hang in there. I promise it will happen! I actually don't eat much yet. I drink premier protein in the mornings, might have a snack of turkey lunch meat in afternoon, maybe, and try to eat 2 ounces of protein for dinner. I usually have a yogurt each day. A triple zero! And lots and lots of water!!! hugs, lolly

JULY SLEEVERS- How are you doing?
TS76 replied to dreamingsmall's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello All, new to this site. I am a 41yr old male, 6'3". HW 445 SW 430 CW 389. I hade gastric sleeve surgery July 31st, 2017. I lost 15 pounds pre surgery eating 1000 calories a day for two weeks. Post surgery I consumed 4oz of broth 3x's daily for the first three days and then switched to 4oz of either cottage cheese, greek yogurt and cream soups for 14 days. Today I started eating soft foods, 4 oz, 3x's a day. I am drinking an average of 90oz of water, daily. In 19 days, post surgery, I am down 41 pounds for a total of 56 pounds. I have had a very good recovery, outside of a major gout flare up 11 days post surgery. I feel great! I haven't had any issues. I wish I would have done this sooner! -
A record of my experience... from start to finish... rants and all!
Freija replied to njgal's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Update - I got my date! Sept 13. Pre-op diet begins August 30. It's not a total liquid diet, I get limited veggies, fruits, yogurt, and shakes, but unlimited broth, sf popsicles, and sf Jello. Still not looking forward to it. Let the countdown begin! Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app -
I ate my "lunch" yogurt and melon" too fast today and now my stomach hurts. No nausea, vomiting...but fullness. I think I might not have chewed enough. (not mindful eating). I'm nervous. I'm almost 4 weeks post op. I'm able to drink just fine but I'm afraid to eat. I'd appreciate some feedback. Thanks!

Can I have the recipe for the southwestern ricotta bake? I think I see green chiles! we do soft foods from 14 days out, but it's not all it sounds. It takes me 45 mins to have an inch square of whatever, scrambled egg, smoked salmon, or homemade hamburger. I dont feel it is adding much to my food intake. Still now at 4 weeks out, most of my protein is still powder, Greek yogurt, and bone broth. Chicken didn't work. Too solid to get down. Refried beans is easy to eat, and you can melt cheese over it too.

For me the pain was pretty persistent. Felt a bit like period cramps x10 but over the whole stomach not just the lower abs. Holding a pillow over my tummy to add some pressure helped ease some discomfort. I took my pain meds for 5 days and Tylenol for another 4-5 days. It wasn't unbearable most of the time but very uncomfortable for the first week. The part I liked least about the pain is I had no idea if I was getting full while I was eating yogurt or drinking protein shakes. The only signals I was getting from my tummy were pain and nothing else. If you tolerate pain well I think you'll be just fine. And if you have a lot of pain that's what the meds are for! Use them as needed/directed.

Weakness & shortness of breath
kjfultz1 replied to ladycharizar's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
ladycharizar, it is definitely normal. I was sleeved on 7/26 and I still get winded doing little that didn't bother me before. I was told that it was due to the decrease in calories. I'm also struggling with the shake. I'm currently in the mushie food stage so instead of drinking a shake I'll have a soft boiled egg and some yogurt to get my protein in.

1 week post-op nausea, hot flashes, no energy
Cober1 replied to Cober1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm able to get my fluid and protein goals with the phenegrine, it's just incredibly unpleasant. My surgeon put me on full fluids when I went home from the hospital originally and it seemed to be going ok but then the hot flashes started yesterday. I've been doing 2 pure protein drinks, around 80oz of water and 4-6 oz of soup spread throughout the day. I probably have 2oz of protein drink or soup every couple of hours then sip water in between. I can't stand the constant sweetness of all the protein drinks but haven't found anything else that has that much protein so I keep defaulting to them. My surgeon said I can have anything that can be pureed to a smooth paste or pourable liquid. I'm scared to try anything past broth, yogurt or protein shakes with all the nausea I'm having though. I think I'll try going back to just water, broth, and tea for a few days. Hopefully it'll help. -

Try topping your fish with something moist. Salsa, sour cream or yogurt, stewed veggies. Goes down much easier. Yum. -
Lacking the motivation to even walk...
JKC2016 replied to sleevedshereen's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
The sooner you get away from protein shakes and bars and on to real foods the better. Following your doctor recommendations, incorporate tuna, salmon, ground turkey or chicken. Mix or blend in plain Greek yogurt and spices you enjoy. Beans, eggs, cheese sticks, jerky--there are so many tasty and quick ways to eat protein. The trouble with powders and bars is they limit your intake of nutrients and they are sweet and encourage thinking about other sweets. -
Anyone else have this issue???
Airstream88 replied to LauriDJ's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had RNY last October. I went home on pureed. I mostly ate yogurt, my protein shakes, ricotta bake and sugar free jello and popsicles. I advanced to soft foods (eggs, string cheese, mashed fish, etc) at two weeks and then to most foods (chicken, lunch meat, etc) with some restrictions (seeds, fibrous veggies, steak, etc) at 31 days. You will need to continue drinking the protein shakes for at least a few months in order to get in the required protein. You just can't eat enough at first. Even though I hated all protein shakes, I forced one down every morning to make sure I got enough protein.
