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. -
Woman vs. Food, bariatric edition

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. -
Hello everyone, I am a bit over 2 weeks out and struggling with the Stage 2! My surgeon ok'd me for protein shake, yogurt, pudding, soup, cottage cheese and ricotta- but no scrambled eggs or chicken etc yet. I am lost- have no idea how to spice it up and am getting really bored. I live on ricotta bake,oatmeal with genepro and protein shakes for now. Help!

Isopure Unflavored Protein
arringtonc49 replied to biancan2ckyw's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I use 5 star whey isolate protein Chocolate powder. It is the best tasting out of all powders I tried. I mix it with my Greek sugar free Yogurt. It taste soooooo good![emoji3] Sent from my D6708 using BariatricPal mobile app -
Sleeved 8/3. Meet with my surgeon tomorrow for 2 week follow up and what should ideally be clearance to move on to soft solids. Down 17 pounds so far. The ricotta Bake has been good to me but I'll be happy to carefully explore different protein and plan-appropriate sustenance moving forward. Any recommendations on best soft cooked meats to try? I keep reading that chicken is difficult on the new tummy? Would love some ideas! (Ricotta Bake seen here modified from its original Italian inspired flavors to be a bit more Southwestern, Greek yogurt added for protein)

Ahh that makes a lot more sense! If you're still of pureed/soft foods, I can see them going down a lot easier and you being able to consume more of them. They're almost like slider foods in that sense. I remember at 4 weeks out I could easily consume 5 ounces of greek yogurt. Make sure you try to differentiate head hunger and real hunger! I think that's one of my biggest struggles right now.

Gastric Leak for 6 Months - Help!
Goggyween replied to Greta Griggs Hannah's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thank you so much. So far so good. Today had baked potato, no skin, oatmeal and yogurt. Today is better than yesterday, so hope it still goes well. Keep in touch all -
Ok so tomorrow its time to say goodbye to my Lap Band. I feel kinda sad. I remember how excited I was to get it. How driven I was. I just couldn't get the hang of it. Everything was always getting stuck. Couldn't eat yogurt, salad, or cereal. Toward the end even water was coming back up. Sleeve on November 13th! Can't wait to start my new journey.

I am just about 3 weeks post op gastric bypass and looking for more ideas of pureed foods. I am so tired of eggs, refried beans and yogurt. I'm going to try the ricotta bake and smoothies tomorrow, but still need a few ideas to keep it interesting. Can't tolerate tofu or fat free gravy and not allowed to have meat yet. Thanks in advance Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Lacking the motivation to even walk...
ShelterDog64 replied to sleevedshereen's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
That's not bad, but can you find some places to slip in some more protein? The protein and the extra calories it brings may bring your energy level up a bit. What are you drinking on the way to work? Make it a protein shake or add some protein powder to your coffee/tea/water. Add some powder to your yogurt, drink a glass of Fairlife milk in the afternoon...whatever you can. Nibble on a protein bar during the day. It's very hard in the first few months to get the nutrition you need without supplementing, in my experience. And I STILL, over a year later, add a 30g scoop of protein to my coffee every single morning. It's like insurance for the rest of the day for me. -
Your feelings on hummus
ShelterDog64 replied to gwbicster's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
First, remember that although it seems like a very long time, 8 weeks isn't long at all. It takes a surprisingly long time to get back to 'normal', or really to get to whatever your NEW 'normal' is going to be. Be gentle on yourself Dense protein is hard, and I've struggled with it since I was on solids last years. I'm now 14 mos post-op and I still have a hard time with meats. Just a couple of nights ago I spent a couple of hours foaming and sliming because I ate some grilled pork tenderloin. By far, fish is easiest for me to tolerate...salmon, cod, tuna, all shellfish. They all go down easy and stay down. I used to be a beef-a-holic, now I maybe have a few bites a month. Chicken is hit or miss, dark meat easier than breasts. One tip: the moister the meat, the easier it is for me. I have a pressure cooker and make Indian chicken dishes in it often and the cooking method keeps the meat moist and makes it very tender. So, if you can use a sauce of some sort, that may help. Have you tried eggs cooked different ways? I started with scrambled, which were a disaster, but I've found that I can eat them poached and boiled, but not fried or scrambled. And to the main point of your post, hummus can be a good option for limited use, but it alone won't trigger any restriction in your sleeve the way a dense protein will, so keep that in mind. It's more of a 'slider' food, so while it'll help you in a nutrition sense, it won't be as satisfying as some chicken or salmon. That said, at 8 weeks I was eating what I could get my stomach to like and retain, with an emphasis on any form of protein that worked. I mixed protein powder into mashed potatoes, cream of wheat, oatmeal, cottage cheese, yogurt, ricotta cheese, etc. Really anything that appealed and was slightly soft and moist will work. And you have to decide how many grams of carbohydrates you're going to eat each day, how much space you have for those carbs related to your protein and form a long-term plan with that as a basis. I'm kind of on auto-pilot now with food, but I counted every. single. bite. for the first year. Doing that taught me what my 'danger' foods are, how I react to simple carbs, how often I need to eat to meet my protein and nutrient goals, etc. It's a lot to think about in the beginning, but it gets MUCH easier as time goes by. Good for you for thinking about what you're doing now as potential habits for the future...you sure seem like you've got what it takes to be successful at this whole WLS thing! -
Reaction to my whey powder? Best other protein?
GotProlactinoma replied to GotProlactinoma's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you both so much! I'm relying on the Greek yogurt and the broth. I feel I need a more concentrated source though. LOVE the idea of the Lifeway Protein Kefir. I love kefir! Drinking some today. But the protein version doesn't come without sugary ingredients and fruits. I just want plain. maybe I should replace all my water with broth and watery yogurt or milk. i can't imagine blended tuna. I did try other protein powders. Ugh. Bought plain and vanilla Paleo Pro beef and egg protein powder, couldn't choke it down. Same with pea and hemp. Nope. our nutritionist said whey protein would be for our whole lives to get enough concentrated protein in once a day. sigh. Thanks so much. -
See if they have frozen low fat yogurt...

I'm really getting frustrated reading all these comments from these "expert" sleeve patients saying dumping syndrome doesn't happen unless you have a bypass. Don't assume that because it doesn't happen to EVERYONE, that it doesn't happen at all. It's VERY real, and happens to quite a few. I am one of them. It happened to me first in my puree stage, my Dr advised mashed potatoes and gravy.. I had about three teaspoons and the wave hit me. I had no idea what happened or why I was sick, or even ever heard of dumping. It happened again once with potato soup, and once with fat free frozen yogurt. Please stop assuming that it only happens to bypass patients. It's insulting to those of us who do experience it to be told it doesn't exist. Per the Mayo Clinic: "Dumping syndrome is a condition that can develop after surgery to remove all or part of your stomach or after surgery to bypass your stomach to help you lose weight. Also called rapid gastric emptying, dumping syndrome occurs when food, especially sugar, moves from your stomach into your small bowel too quickly."

Lacking the motivation to even walk...
sleevedshereen replied to sleevedshereen's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@BigViffer lol thanks for the info. Sounds pretty accurate. I don't drink alcohol though. Too scared to since surgery lol. I'm one month post op as of yesterday and I lost almost 20lbs since surgery, the additional 6 lbs was pre-op a day before surgery. 20 lbs seems like the norm for weight loss after one month. I walked a lot this weekend on a mini vacay I took and yesterday even though I got home from work super late and was tired as f*ck I still went for a 30 minute walk. I'm trying, but the weight is barely going down. I just need to be patient. I don't think I'm eating enough either though. Wake up - on my way to work drink 8 oz of fluids Get to work - greek yogurt snack - either spoon of peanut butter or a string cheese lunch - a piece of chicken or protein shake snack - spoon of peanut butter dinner - yesterday I had a couple pieces of salami and cheese and like 3 olives I can't eat much more than that...mleh that's pretty bad eating habits huh? -
I GOT MY DATE!(AUGUST )SURGERIES WHERE U @
BellaItalia088 replied to Beautiful Diamonds's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My diet was 2 weeks, protein shake for breakfast and lunch .. at lunch I was allowed either cottage cheese, a sugar free pudding or a low sugar and cal yogurt ... then for a snack between lunch and dinner, one of those three things .. then for dinner 2 oz of lean meat and 1/2 cup of green vegetables but no sauces. Then I'd get to have another protein shake before bed because I am diabetic [emoji4] I had my surgery yesterday.. I feel relatively ok but the carbon dioxide pain in my stomach is driving me crazy [emoji17] -
After Surgery Taste Issues
lornasaurusleeve replied to shellyv0120's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks I've definitely thought about trying some of the Fairlife chocolate milk even though it's not sugar free. I have started some yogurt drinks, though they're a struggle with the fake sweeteners too. Broth is one of the few things I can tolerate like once a day. Might buy some regular sugar sweetened and plain unsweetened Greek yogurt and mix them and thin them out. I've put another call in to my dietician so we'll see what else she's okay with when she calls back. -
Isopure Unflavored Protein
FluffyChix replied to biancan2ckyw's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I love using the Isopure unflavored in broths. (Make sure the broth isn't more than about 130-140 degrees or it will clump. I also use reduced sodium Better Than Bouillon + the protein for a quick meal some days. Also, I have added it to a little V-8 then warm it until it's a tomato soup thing...but I'm not sure if V-8 is legal from a sugar perspective? I also have added it to pot roast and other pan drippings to make a protein broth for me. I hear you can add it to low carb milk, cottage cheese, and Greek yogurt to up the protein content. -
FOUR WEEKS POST-OP TODAY - STILL STALLING
mama3beartn commented on mama3beartn's blog entry in MAMA3BEARTN ---,---'@ WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY
Thanks so much - that makes sense with the scale. I have a scale, just not real good at using it yet. I actually used it for the first time last night weighing out my fish. I had mentioned that about the calculating because my yogurt said serving size was one container (some crazy 5.2 oz). I took three bites and was done. The other hard thing is my program want me to do three meals a day with no snacks at 20 grams of protein at each meal. I can't eat enough to get that much at one meal. Sometimes the differentiation of programs is so hard on here and at our office. There are three docs at my doc office and each has their own rules. And everyone's program on here is so different. I agree with Aunt B's comment above : While we all want to follow our instructions perfectly, I have to remember that part of this journey is listening to and trusting my own unique body. I totally agree. I love this site. Y'all are like the most awesome group. Thanks again for the help. GrInS.....
