How to stop weight lost.
foodfighter78 replied to foodfighter78's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
thank you! I'm working with both a nutritionist and a psychologist, today was good day I try to eat more, even had pasta, Greek yogurt, and finally some shaved meet with olive oil and lemon. I was able to keep it down. I need to let myself gain some weight and be ok with it. Because I had surgery to have a healthy life with my kids and husband. -
JUST A FEW DAYS POST OP
Chelle RN replied to DETERMINED*DG's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am post op day 6....Use Gax X to help with the rumbling. Walk, walk, walk.....you will be drinking the entire day and you should have chew able multivitamin and 3 chew able calcium pills per day....You have to space them apart. I have one before breakfast, one before lunch, one before dinner, and finally one before bedtime. I am drinking the required amount of fluids along with 3 protein shakes a day. For my full liquids i am allowed two a day. I ma drinking one V8 vegetable juice and eating one Greek yogurt per day. Dannon has a really great greek yogurt in a blue container. Greek yogurt has more protein than regular. i was constipated until i took one dose of milk of magnesia. Im feeling great... -

hello everyone, So Im starting my pre op diet very soon and I am a lil confused as to calorie and carb intake.... Is there a certain amount of calories and carbs we should be limiting ourselves to during the pre op diet?? I was told to do one week of : 3 Protein shakes A DAY ALL THE Water I CAN DRINK ALL THE YOGURT I CAN EAT ALL THE broth I CAN EAT ALL THE juice I CAN DRINK NO PULP AND I CAN HAVE sugar free Jello AS A TREAT. It sounds as if there is no limit to how much..... I purchased the Ensure clear and it has 180g cals and 35gcarbs, seems to be a lot....does this sound like something I should be drinking on a daily basis?? also the Ensure clear only has 9g protein which seems pretty low, is there a certain amount of protein I should be getting during the pre op?? Should I get the Ensure shakes they have 25g protein also should I be taking the little protein shots during the pre op?? Also what about the 3 day laxative I hear that people had to take should I do that even though I wasnt told to?? I see that each surgeon has different requirements but I just want to make sure I am taking the best route to lose as much as possible. Any ideas/adivce would be appreciated thanks so much 17 days to go yay!!

Smoothie Recipe from my nutritionist: Cup of Greek yogurt (lots of protein) Milk (I use unsweetened almond milk) your choice of fruit (I use blueberries - great nutritional value) A hand full of spinach for added nutritional value. you won't taste it. I throw in a little chopped ginger root. Its good for the tummy and gives your smoothie a kick. I also sprinkle in a little organic cinnamon. gives additional flavor and cinnamon is good for a variety of ailments High blood pressure, inflammation.......etc..... Happy Trails......

Anyone else sick of the pre-op diet???
JG407 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey all, Well i'm on day 8 of 14 for my pre-op diet (about 700 calories a day) before my surgery next Friday May 27th with Dr. Keith Kim in Celebration. It really hasnt been that hard (I had already cut myself to 1300 calories and working out almost daily about 1.5 months ago), a few bouts with low energy and of course just being sick of Protein shakes and smelling and seeing everyone else's food has been a challenge! I had to go to a luncheon on Wednesday and BOY did everything look and smell good. I wont name the foods b/c its bad enough I had to endure it, no need to drag you all along with me Everyone kinda looked at me weird but noone asked and if they had, I was planning on saying I had a late lunch appt right after so as not to have to divulge personal info. Not sure who all is on a pre-op diet but here is mine: 7:30am - Protein shake with 8 oz of fat free-milk (Protein powder is the Vitamin Shoppe Brand, 100 Cal, 24g Protein, 0g fat, <1g Carb) 10:30am - 8oz Water with benefiber mixed in 12:30pm - Protein Shake with 8 oz of water, no sugar added vanilla yogurt (separate, not mixed with the shake), 8 oz water with benefiber mixed in 2:30pm - 1cup raw carrots (can be 1 cup of any raw veggie, but carrots are crunchy so it takes longer to chew and helps with the texture-withdrawal i'm having from the rest of the diet) 5:30pm - Protein Shake with 8 oz of water, 8 oz water with benefiber mixed in 7:30pm - Protein Shake with 8 oz of fat free-milk So that means that now, on day 8, as of 12:36pm, i have consumed a whopping 30 shakes!!! Only 24 to go!! Overall, like i said, its not that bad but is kind of annoying...its working though, have lost about 10lbs since starting it and am getting really psyched about the surgery! Anyone else doing a similar diet? Thanks! -

anonynurse replied to time-4-change's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Good for you! That is awesome. I likely will have bits of: mashed avocado homemade hummus (I'll try mixing Protein powder into it to try to boost the protein content). Greek nonfat yogurt scrambled eggs blended Soups such as split pea with ham and lentil Soup (also with attempt to add protein powder) Protein Powder ice cream juicy roasted chicken blended with gravy to a soft consistency (or beef or any other meat my family is eating, my portion doctored so I can eat with them) Campbell's Soup At Hand, tuna salad butter chicken, pureed to baby food consistency mashed banana blended with Peanut Butter Roasted garlic polenta grits with a bit of butter or reduced fat cream cheese mixed in with pepper pumpkin pie innards Mashed sweet potato Low fat cottage cheese Baked pureed skinless apple with cinnamon Baked potato soup, blended (homemade of course) Cream of mushroom soup, blended (also homemade) Chilled cucumber soup with garlic and mint Mushroom risotto with parmesan Fresh fruit sorbet, homemade with whatever is in season (peaches, strawberry, etc) And probably tons of more stuff. Let me know if you want recipes -
Disgusting subject but once I hit puberty constipation and I became intimate friends. The docs never had an explanation, just that it appeared my colon was too efficient and soaked up too much Water and made me, um, stuck. I've tried a few things, most have no effect or make me cramp really badly, have to go unexpectedly urgently and I was always afraid of getting hooked on OTC meds and making things worse. Someone, can't remember who but god bless you whoever you are, suggested chia seeds as a way to keep from getting hungry. I started taking them, 2 teaspoons in a SF chocolate pudding at lunch and 2 teaspoons in a yogurt after dinner. And things have been moving better than they have since I was a kid. I do get a bit more gassy but the movements are firm yet soft enough to not hurt and I am regular like clock work. I am still taking 1/2 cap of Mirilax a day till I finish it , it has never really worked well for me and I hope when I stop it the chia seeds will still do their stuff. The chia seeds a hygroscopic, meaning they adsorb a lot of water and swell up a lot. They are a little harder to digest so they tend to pass all the way or most of the way through the gut and a lot come out in the stools. This is what the Mirilax is supposed to do too but never really has for me. It's cheaper than Mirilax and seems to work better for me. Give it a try. Get 'em at any health food stores or many well stocked grocery stores.

I Need A Lil Help Please:)
notime replied to livinglifejohnson's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My nutritionist said to get protein drinks/powders that have most of their protein from whey. She also said to avoid the drinks Scaredoftheunknown identified. In addition, she really pushed plain yogurt, the kind without the fruit in it, and said it doubles as a fluid. I have taken a fierce liking to Fage 2% plain yogurt which has 23 grams of protein per cup. The Fage tastes like sour cream, so some do not like it. -
Im exhausted 11 days post-op need advice
nenes78 replied to kick butt take names's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It's normal so early on to feel exhausted because of the low calorie intake. Based on your current meals of 3 shakes and a yogurt, you're at about 700 calories which is truly not enough for the human body to function like normal. I had 2 1/2 weeks off and got back to work, I was dead tired by the end of the work day, and I have a office job (wish i could have taken more time off). When I moved to Pureed foods it helped and brought in a few more calories and started adapting. It also takes a few weeks for your body to adjust to the lower intake. Hang in there. -
October Surgery Roll Call
Linda72 replied to Panda333's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wooooow I literally had to gasp after reading that. I'm so sorry to hear all that you have been going through. To be completely honest I cant believe how some on here are eating some type of solid food a week after surgery. Even when I start puree the only thing I'm adding is Cottage cheese, ricotta cheese & Greek yogurt other then that still liquid. I cant even have an egg till 2 weeks of puree. I'm doing so well with my water, tea, broth, jello & ice pops that I couldn't wait to start puree and then I saw your post and freaked out. Lol. I'm sure everything will work itself out God willing please keep me updated on your progress. Stay well🙏🏻 -
October Surgery Roll Call
mememomma replied to Panda333's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i just had the sleeve October 9th. I was on a liquid diet 5 days before and then clear liquid two days before. This first week home I was on clear liquids again. At post op visit yesterday I have to be on liquids (no pudding, no yogurt no applesauce, no creamed soups, no yogurtetc) for yet another three weeks. Basically its protein shakes, bouillion, water and crystal light and sugar free popsicles. Stage three after will be the first real "food" for me (pureed) November 8.. I am amazed when I read all these patient who are eating soft food after week one and seem to do fine. That will be a total of SIX weeks on liquids...not easy. My Dr. seems to be in the minority on this issue, but I am following it to the letter. Good luck as you continue your journey. You are correct, we are all different how we heal and handle this! -
Help! Weird Symptoms (slip?)
Cloud_dance replied to Cloud_dance's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for watching over me. This feels like a big slip. The restriction is at my sternum. I burp and it comes from much lower. I am getting reflux. I am down to full liquids so I'm eating soft Soups and yogurt. Soup is soothing. I had two questions: 1. Is repairing a lap band (with insurance) covered under the intial surgery after-care time period or is it something i'm going to have put in a seperate claim for? 2. Could I have done this to myself by starting Ab crunches two weeks ago? I am still pretty overweight so my crunches are'nt very huge, but I am doing simple ones and cross one where I attempted to touch my elbow with my opposite knee. -
Hi, It's amazing how different our tastes are. But, I think if you mix the nectar correctly, they recommend less than half the Water you used (I use 8 oz) you might like it better. I "overwatered" one time and it was indeed horrible. Correct measurement makes all the difference in the world IMHO. I just reordered a double Nectar sample pack from Vitalady.com as Nectar is the only one I can do mixed with water and I really like their high Protein, no carbs and pretty good taste. Another thing I do is shake it like crazy, in a shaker, of course, with lots of ice. I think the cold helps too. It does foam but I don't mind it. I have to add also, that I have not tried the strawberry Mousse but have had most of the other flavors and liked them all. unjury is another one that I can do easily but many here despise it. I find the unflavored goes great in Soups and I throw the vanilla in yogurt or whatever sweet. The chickes Soup wasn't bad to me either. They have sample packs available. I think Unjury is available on-line only. Good Luck!! Carol

Greek yogurt, low fat granola, all natural Peanut Butter or any natural nut butter with whole wheat crackers ( I enjoy the Special K crackers or Reduced fat wheat thins), berries, banana, home made parfait, home made trail mix with dried fruit/nuts/low sodium pretzels/raisins or a combo of your favorite low fat/low cal items. Pita crisp(I love Stacey's brand) with hummus. Hope this helps a little Lala

Nuts and greek yogurt worked well for me. Put the nuts in little serving baggies so not to get carried away. Almonds were my fav.

Dec 26th 2018 sleeve buddies out there???
Angel'sFaith replied to Jean9's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hello all, I had my sleeve surgery Dec 28th and did great until I got home 2 days and then was due for my cycle of the month. My blood pressure shot way, way up. I wound up in a hospital in the town of Wickenburg where we moved. I am finally getting my BP down some and have been eating cream of wheat, premier drinks, egg drop soup, Yogurt, popsicles, baby foods and my favorite Scandal less Vanilla( because it taste great plus has great quality of protein. My Dr is known for a slim sleeve without a pre op diet. So it will take a little to attempt the harder foods for me as some of you are trying. I started 313 and I'm down to 299.5 at 5'8" . -

Hi I would call your doctor as well. If everything looks ok from him I would totally change the types of foods you are eating. Eliminate carbs completely for a week to see if that jump starts you...change the type of exercise you do so that your body gets confused....and lastly, eat less. I know 1000 cal isn't that much, but technically my doc wants me to eat between 800-900 cal a day (i try to monday-thursday). Maybe introduce greek yogurt...lean meats & cheeses...salads, etc. Whenever i get "stuck" in the same place for a week or more I change up my diet and it works every time.

That's sounds yummy! I went to Costco today they had plenty samples. I'm pre op. I tried a sample of Greek yogurt with honey drizzled on and it was really good.

Does anyone else hate the way they feel after they eat
Cathyjo replied to Momma_D's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It gets better. Try shrimp. My sleeve loves shrimp. Tuna salad, seafood salad, chicken salad all made "wet". Scrambled eggs with cheese. Ricotta with 1 or 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce with a layer of shredded mozzarella warmed in the microwave. Cottage cheese with salad dressing Hummus Cheese sticks. Dannon light and fit Greek yogurt. Ham and cheese roll ups. Keep trying new things. I eat something protein every 3 to 4 hours. Not much but enough for fuel. I eat to live not live to eat. Good luck.
