The reason I began to introduce variety of foods around the fourth month was because after being cleared back to solids had a very hard time holding just about anything down. Even water made me gag, sick and nausea. it got to a point during the second month developed horrible heartburn that felt like a heart attack ending in ER. After that I decided just to stick to soups... yogurts.. shakes because I did not want to get sick again. Once I hit my fourth month slowly re-introduced solids to wean out the foods I could or could not tolerate. Has it improved.. Yes.. but still cannot eat meats.. eggs.. any type of health breads.. still cannot tolerate water. In regards to my regrets!.. Yes it's just food.. and the tool I was given is to improve my overall health and well being. Have I lost the weight.. Yes 70 pounds.. do I feel amazing.. Not exactly. I feel tired.. very low energy and am also losing my hair. My regrets are based on all those factors that I was not expecting this far in as well as just missing the norm of eating a healthy meal without experiencing that horrible pressure after 3 -4 bites. I now dread meal time because I don't know how I am going to feel . Quantity has nothing to do with it... it's quality of life. I know I am not alone in this because I have spoken to many post vsg outside this forum who feel the same. So for those who have had a positive experience god bless.. but for those like me who wish they can turn back the clock keep searching for an outlet and foods that can make your meal experiences tolerable..

How many ounces should I be eating?
Lulu_RNY posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey everyone!! I’m 6 months post op this 23rd and have lost 107 lbs since surgery! I’m ecstatic for my progress so far and need to lose about 40 more to be at my goal weight (fingers crossed). But lately I’ve been seeing myself being able to eat more that usual. I’ve went from 2-3 ounces to eat 4-5 ounces of food. Most of the time it consists of a good diet such as chicken salads or eggs, sausage , yogurt fruit and etc and I do keep up with my fluids. I just want to know if it’s normal to be eating this amount at 6 months post op? Also I don’t eat any carbs if it isn’t a pretzel here and there. I just want to be consistent and I’m scared that I maybe eating too much and my pouch has stretched !!! Any advice is appreciated Here’s a before and after pic!!! -

I have seen some people being a bit of a Debbie Downer, but let's try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes messages don't come across the right way online. I try to focus on the positives, that's what this journey is about after all. On that note, if anyone has any questions or just the need to talk to anyone, feel free to message me privately. We are all in this together after all And yes, I 100% agree with how much the pureed food phase sucks. All I have in my menu right now is ricotta, applesauce and yogurt. I am tired!! Luckily I can switch to phase 2 on Thursday and switch tonsoft foods like baked fish, and eggs, and chicken breast... I cannot wait! But I confess, after yesterday's episode I am so scared to switch! -
Pre-op diet starts tomorrow ...it's getting real now!
char3672 replied to char3672's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tomorrow is my last day of pre-op diet. I'm to the point that I don't even want to eat. I'm so tired of the same things. I can't wait to be able to add cheese, yogurt, milk, nuts etc. I know it will be a while, but it's something to look forward to. I lost 14lbs this week!

Not loosing weight after one point !
catwoman7 replied to Neossa's topic in Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery Forum
my snacks are usually something like a protein shake or a Dannon Light & Fit Greek yogurt. Occasionally I'll have some baby carrots with about 1/4 C hummus (raw vegetables can be hard on my stomach, even two years out, but because they can be irritating, it stops me from eating too much. Hey - whatever works!). At night I'll sometimes have a couple of sugar free popsicles. Like raw vegetables, the sugar alcohols in sugar free popsicles bother my stomach, so all I can handle is two of them. I also eat Light & Fit yogurt occasionally at night, too, especially if I'm craving ice cream. The creaminess/sweetness/dairy aspect of the yogurt hit the same spot as ice cream would. I also drink *a lot* of fluid (usually Crystal Light) - which helps sometimes, but I know sometimes you just have to have real food... -
You have some good suggestions of several products that meet the need (Pure protein and Costco's store brand version of Quest work well, too) though I wouldn't consider protein bars to be any more of a "real" food than the shakes. Try working more toward meats, cheese and yogurts are the classic real food protein sources that our body tends to like better overall.

Hi. I am going in for my sleeve surgery on Wednesday, my emotions have gone everywhere from excitement, to fear, to wanting to cancel to knowing this is my last chance at a normal life. I am mostly afraid of complications, but lately my mind has been on the future. I am on my pre-op diet this week (strictly meat and veggies) I don't eat much of either, I am wondering how I'm going to do if that is all I can have. I think adding yogurt, cheese and other dairy products in will be a big help. Did anyone else eat very little meats n veggies before surgery? I am ready to make changes, and I'm hoping that with some practice, I can learn to eat the foods I need to. I have lost 10lbs so far on my pre-op, I have not cheated once!

We had surgery around the same time. I relied on refried beans with a bit of shredded parm on top. That was a staple until I could tolerate more dense foods. Little by little, one food at a time. Also ate cottage cheese regularly. Still do. I find that in the morning I still can't stomach anything too solid, so usually have yogurt (plain Greek) or cottage cheese. Later on, you can add some peach or pear to those. Learning new proper portion sizes takes time. You are on the right track using smaller dishes and utensils. I have to measure everything because I have no sense of what 3-4 ounces of food looks like. I can usually eat about 3 ounces at a time. Like you, I was raised to believe that wasting food is a sin. I try very hard to make only what I can eat. It does get easier.

May 15th, 2017 Sleevers Check in Here!!!
mishyk replied to Newme17's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi girls! So i read our responses and what a coincidence I actually started to puree a little tuna with ricotta to make it smooth and it tastes soo good.. i only do yogurt like once a day and i only do half a yogurt. Another things I started to mar was guacamole, i'm not going to have it everyday but it's so good. I only go avocado, cilantro, onions, lime and salt. All pureed of course. In one day I dropped a pound and half. I lose weight everyday so far now. -
Favorites for each phase
MSinger replied to victoriak419's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Preop: Premier Protein Shakes. I still drink them, but my tastes changed after surgery and I don't like how they taste as much anymore. Clear liquids: Isopure protein water, Prostat protein syrup, jello (hated jello preop) Full liquids: cream of mushroom soup blended. tomato soup (another food I never liked preop) Puree/soft foods: cottage cheese, isopure unflavored protein powder (mix this into anything that doesn't have that many grams of protein), oikos triple zero yogurt, mashed potatoes and mased sweet potatoes with protein powder added, fat free refried beans, still eat soup on the regular with protein powder mixed in. Post op taste changes: Can't tolerate extremely sweet foods. I used to have a major sweet tooth but gagged when I tried some sugar-free chocolate syrup post-op. I also get queasy from plain water and need flavor enhancers. Pre-op I drank 2L of plain room temp water. Now, it has to be cold and I started using Trulemon water flavorers (don't like mio). -

Hello and welcome. I love the ricotta bake, cottage cheese, yogurt, egg salad, tuna salad, refried beans with cheese, I cooked up some homemade soups and blended them. Scrambled eggs with cheese is also pretty good. If you google recipes for the purée stage you will get many.

Are you allowed yogurt? I was allowed yogurt during my 2 weeks on liquids post-op. Also well blended creamed soups really helped to fill me up. You can do this!!

Apple1 replied to lizpuller's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Choose the shakes and yogurt with the least amount of carbs. That is really all you can do until you are able to eat more variety. Once you are moved up to puréed and soft you can eat meat and vegetables Puréed well. Things like tuna salad, scrambled eggs, chicken salad, refried beans, cheeses. -

Movie Theatre Snacks
shannybananny71 replied to Honeypenny's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Babybel cheese, yogurt, water with Crystal Light. I bring stuff into the theater all the time. If it fits in my purse, I will bring it. Another option might be to eat before you go and forego the snacks. Disassociate movies with snacking. If not, there are healthy options. -
I had my surgery on 4/10. I am only down 29 lbs. since surgery. I'm drinking all my water and I'm tracking all my food on My Fitness Pal. I'm being incredibly compliant plus I'm exercising like crazy. I tried out Orangetheory the other day -- too competitive and intense for me. I'm leaving in a few to try a Barre class. Yesterday, I did 30-minutes of intervals (walk/jog), on my home treadmill and then I went for a swim. You get the picture. Not a day goes by that I don't do some kind of exercise. Earlier today I was outside, digging in the dirt (I'm a big gardener). So what gives with the slow like turtle weight loss? I'm beyond frustrated. Could it be that I'm not eating enough? I'm eating roughly 700 calories daily and I'm hitting my protein mark. I'll admit that I'm having issues with constipation. I try and only eat fruit for breakfast (plain yogurt with fresh blueberries and strawberries), because of the sugar content in fruit. Should I be eating more fruit? The experienced dietician at my program left 3-weeks ago and the new dietician is as green as they come -- she has zero bariatric experience. So, I'm on my own here and I hope I'm doing the right things. Help! Bunny

I eat a little fruit daily. Carbs aren't a huge problem for me. I only have fresh fruit, small portions (track every bite) and combine with protein. Don't add fruit until you are consistently reaching protein goals is the advice I received from my nutritionist. Peanut butter and apple slices are delicous! And so are fresh berries with yogurt

10 days after sleeve, all of a sudden bs
Apple1 replied to lizpuller's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
How many carbs are in the yogurt and protein shakes? Believe it or not some shakes have a lot of sugar. Are still taking your diabetes medication? How long ago was your surgery? Stress and healing can cause some people's bs to rise. I would talk to your doctor if it doesn't come down. Not everyone is able to stop their medication after WLS. I hope this helps.
Happy Friday!
