Most-used kitchen gadgets/utensils after weight loss surgery?
istytehcrawk posted a topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Those of you who are post-op, what are the kitchen gadgets/utensils you've found most helpful? I want to make sure my kitchen is ready before my surgery in ~6 weeks. So far, I've got measuring cups/spoons, mini strainers, silicone ice cube trays (for broth and yogurt and such), and small containers for taking lunch to work. As for bigger items, I also have a food processor, blender, immersion blender, and crock pots. -
i used it in lemonade and it was fine usually you would put the unflavored in a thick mixture like smoothies or yogurt, soups gives things a different texture but its the best protein out there and mine going to use it the rest of my life

That almost DOES sound good! Probably much more appealing if I were only able to eat yogurt and cottage cheese, though

Pills and Supplements
diva replied to princess_n_thep's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I need to lose 28 pounds before surgery. I am aiming towards the last week in July or the first week in August. I am in full blown menopause and my appetite is scary. Its an actual appetite-not head hunger-like growling in my stomach kind of appetite. Ah-hormones. My band doc gave me a scrip for phentermine, its for 15 mg. I can take it 2x a day or once a day. The scrip is for 60 pills. It is saving my sanity. And it putting a rocket up my butt by jumpstarting the weight loss by allowing me control over my appetite. I think of it like the band- a tool which helps me to the right thing. I am finally eating right and good. Keeping to 1,000-1,200 calories a day. The doc will need to check my blood pressure every 2 weeks. BTW the only problems I have besides being fat is apnea & high cholesteral which is controlled big time by 40 mg of Lipitor- I don't have diabetes or high blood pressure. I took 2 for the first 4 days, one after breakfast and one around 3:30. I always eat before taking one-something solid like a sandwhich or a lean cuisine. Never on a slim fast or something like grapes or yogurt. I don't get any jitters if I take it with a solid foundation in my stomach. After the first 4 days I am now taking only 1 late morning. My stomach has went down and I don't need 2 to keep control. I have used it before and lost 30 pounds but of course put it back on after I went off them. Which is why I am being banded. As a baby boomer and child of the sixties- I have taken real street speed , nothing like a baggie full of black beauties in your freezer to let you eat nothing but cheetos while loosing weight and cleaning the whole house in 15 minutes while rocking to Led Zepplin. I have yet to even vacuum since I've been on these! LOL I say if your doctor feels based on your history (and this is my lap band doc not my PCP) and you are being monitered and you practice some common sense and you don't have high blood pressure or heart problems then go for it. And you have got to eat. No flirting with fasting or forgetting to eat. Thats when you get the willies. You gotta eat. BTW I've also been on Meridia in the past and it did zip. And I don't recall the name of that other drug that blocks fat but gives you a very attractive side effect of oily bowel discharge (can you say romantic? hee hee hee) Anyway-To each his own but I am happy to have a some help. -
I JUST WANT TO EAT IM DEPRESSED AND STALLED
tearin taryn posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Finally I joined this forum because I need others help I had surgery January 30,2014 I'm three weeks two days out I have lost nearly 30lbs in two weeks ( not sure from where yet lol) but I see my hubby my kids eat and I just want to eat but all I have is water water water! I need recipes I'm over broth , soup, and yogurt!! I'm so depressed and already had severe depression and bipolar before surgery! I feel alone and weather doesn't help and I don't want to fail at this I'm tired of failing!!!!! But all I want is to eat, quit crying, and lose even a lb or two but all week stuck at same and I don't eat ugh -
I will be doing a variation of keto in that I have no intention of eating any fruit since I don't care for most of it and I don't want to trigger any sugar cravings. I also have gluten sensitivity and don't eat any gluten containing products (wheat/barley/rye) or the gluten free crap they sell at the store. I do make my own almond bread which I do not plan to have until much later. I love almost all vegetables and I am the queen of cauliflower. I absolutely adore chicken or shrimp fried "rice" with cauliflower as well as other recipes. I plan for this to be my ongoing weight loss diet. I do not purchase any fat free stuff and use small amounts of regular unsalted butter and/or EVOO. I did get some plain, reduced fat FAGE greek yogurt for my current postop period but not eating much of it (2-3 ounces per day) Protein sources of chicken breast, salmon, shrimp, fish, black or red beans. Not a big red meat fan. Love all types of cheese but will have very little, more like a garnish. I dislike sodas and juices so no worries there. My downfall are the candy type protein bars (atkins and others) and sugar free chocolate stuff that taste so good that it is hard to eat a reasonable portion so those are out. Swearing off all alcohol until football season at the very earliest. Hopefully by then I will not want it.

I was also informed that I have to do the diet all over again. The only problem I have is now I am lactose intolerant so it's going to be a little harder for me because I can't do the regular protein shakes and yogurt and things like that. Is there a place on this website that has the diet so I can plan before I go to the dr?

I've been eating Greek yogurt, poached eggs, chicken, tuna, imitation crab meat, ricotta bake with sauce and cheese & my favorite is re-fried beans with some cheese. I did try some green beans and they were great. Next I'm going to try some baked fish, shrimp and scallops. I can't wait to have some salad and tomatoes, but I'm going to wait another week for that.

Any soft food ideas?
Inner Surfer Girl replied to elaina831's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Can the greek yogurt be flavored by yoplait or it has to be straight plain? Sent from my KFTT using the BariatricPal App I like the Danon Light and Fit Greek. -
I take a laundry list of medicine each day so it was hard for me to accept that I would have to now crush all of my pills and take them every day. I tried this for a week or so after surgery but I had so many pills to take and some of them were capsules that just contained too much powder. I tried mixing them with pudding/applesauce/yogurt etc but I could still taste the extremely bad taste of the pills. Luckily a few of my meds are available in liquid form and I would suggest anyone to ask their pharmacy any of their meds are available in liquid form, I was surprised with which ones were available. So the question is now I have been taking mostly the liquid meds but the few smaller pills I have simply been taking. They are pretty small and I think they are probably fine but anyone else do this? Are they not going to get fully absorbed or something?

First time eating chicken! Whoopsie!
Annicat replied to mialoveslenny's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 7 monthds out and I have been able to eat white meat chicken and canned chicken just fine from the time I was allowed soft food but I cannot eat dark meat chicken. apparently its too greasy. I find I I do not like tuna and it was one of my favorites before surgery. Also, can't tolerate raw onion at all and I used to love thick slices of onion on almost any kind of sandwich. Love salad and tolerate it very well in much smaller quantities than before. Angus beef hamburgers taste nasty too. When I just don't want anything I have in the house, I eat yogurt. I do drink 2 30g Protein shakes everyday, though. I am going thru the thin hair, sore scalp stage now. I take Biotin with keratin everyday and have since 8 weeks. My hair is not falling out it just appears to be thinner and my head feels like someone has been yanking on my hair. -
1 week post op, need advice/help...
mwestcons replied to anewme111's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Give yourself a bit of time before you decide if you are lactose intolerant. I thought I was too and then realized my symptoms (cramping, mostly) were just the symptoms one feels with alot of foods immediately post-surgery. I bought vanilla-flavored whey isolate powder and mixed it with fruit (mostly strawberries, canned peaches, etc.). You can also buy your favorite Soup and puree that. I bought hummus and discovered that was pretty good at this stage. I liked adding yogurt, ricotta and/or milk to my shakes, but you should go slow, obviously, until you can confirm that you are truly lactose intolerant. If you are, you can ask you doctor or nutritionist for advice about drops, additives or alternative milk-like products. Take heart, I am nearly two months post-op and am really enjoying the journey! -
Try some GENEPRO (available on Amazon). It is a powder protein that you can put in Soup, milk, juice, yogurt, etc. It is 30 mg of protein in just one tablespoon. The shakes do get old...

Lapband for my brain!
unbroken40 replied to Watchershrink83's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery a day before you. I have been very hungry. The one thing that is helping is to have small snacks with me all the time. I eat the Think Thin protein bars. I will cut those up in cubes and just have a few pieces when I grt hungry. Yogurt with wheat bran sprinkled keeps me full longer. Right now I don't really like to be around people eating because I am trying to handle my hunger. I gety first fill the 16th and I hope to feel more satisfied! -
I understand where you are coming from. I actually started my liquid diet (only) on the 16th of November. I cooked Thanksgiving for my family and I sat there and watched them all eat while I drank a sugar free-fat free pumpkin cheesecake protein shake. It was hard but my surgery is just around the corner. Jello helps and I just picked up the appropriate yogurt today. Push through, it's worth it.

Hmmm, definately worth a try - the apple before meal, and I know I've been eating too much mushy easy food too. Managed to spk to my radiologist today. She wants me to keep a food diary. She also think if I cant eat solid food ie meat etc, then I am too tight and shd have some fill taken out as the band will only work with solid food, cos the soft food go right through and I'll never be hungry. So true again. But I got one month to try to lose some weight before going back to her again, I really dont want to have to take any out, but on hindsight perhaps I should. Today, BFast - muller light, Morning Snk - banana Lunch - Salad with tuna & soup for lunch. Afternoon snack - 3pcs ginger biscuit and weight watchers yogurt. Dinner - Home cook chicken & veg soup and Bake salmon. Evening snack - 1 pcs of choc cake. Supper - 1 glass spritzer and 1 pck prawn crackers.

Nine days post-op
RevisionReally replied to RevisionReally's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hanging head.... No, Jessica, but it is helping my headache. And I counted the calories that I'm getting in daily, and with the Isopure, Premere Protein, greek yogurt, cream soup, and other fat free, sugar free things, I'm still only getting about 700 calories per day. I'm open to your thoughts. -
Are you getting 60oz+ of protein and at least 64oz fluid? This will help with energy and healing. Pudding and jello have NO nutritional value. Add unflavored protein powder to your soups if you aren't already. Cream soups with Unjury protein, shakes, Greek yogurt and cottage cheese were all still staples for me at 4 weeks. You are still healing....It will get better I didn't feel normal till 3 months out.

Should I Go To The Hospital?
Pookeyism replied to bellabbr's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Egads, yogurt and vinegar - double acidic whammy! Dont take anything that could react, like baking soda, etc. Problem with home remedies is that they are not inert, or else they wouldn't be remedies, so you have to ask what the possible reaction could be. Not to be crude but for constipation for awhile you may be best focusing on the, er, other end of the problem. A mild glycerin based enema should work. Hope you feel better soon! -
I read somewhere that apple cider vinegar is good to help you go to the bathroom and since I am having problems in that area, I decided to have 1 teaspoon. Well it went down hot like when you drink whiskey. My whole stomach feels hot, I feel nauseous, tried throwing up but can't just feeling really bad. I don't think the yogurt I ate 1 hr before is helping things. I know stupid stupid stupid I am to the point of going to the hospital, only thing that is stopping me is the fact my insurance doesn't kick in until the 1st, that means if I go, they will want to do all kinds of tests and I will have a huge bill. Help please, is this normal or should I go right now?? Thank you

Should I Go To The Hospital?
Lissa replied to bellabbr's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
coffee always seems to work pretty quickly when I'm not going well. I don't know about adding it to yogurt and vinegar, though. I'm sorry you're feeling so bad! Let us know how it goes. I'm wincing in pain just thinking about how you must feel right now!!!
