Anyone Going Through Illinois Bariatric Center??
icebergslim replied to Morganjm's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have the same basic eating plan. I do a shake for Breakfast, a light juice (with Vitamin c) mid-morning, shake for lunch, a dinner of lean Protein and veggies, and a snack (I do Greek yogurt and fruit, but you can do cheese and fruit or even popcorn). It is an 800-1000 calorie diet. I am used to eating crazy big portion sizes, hence my need for LapBand, so this 2-week diet hasn't been "fun", but I have to admit that I've gotten used to it. Just keep your eye on the prize and fight through these pre-op days. I'm learning that I do have the willpower within me to follow the rules. I want to lose weight more than I want to eat unhealthy food. I just have to keep reminding myself. -
Anyone Going Through Illinois Bariatric Center??
icebergslim replied to Morganjm's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Also, like threekidsmom, I sometimes switch the order of my "meals". Today I did a shake, then my fruit/yogurt snack, then my dinner, and my 2nd shake in the evening. I just tried to treat them as meals, spaced them 3-4 hours apart, and did not snack throughout the day. -
July 9-21 Surgery Buddies?
MontanaMel replied to checkmeowt's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
You eating puree food?? I had mine July 7th. I'm on Jello and chicken broth and I never get full. I'm starving:( I'm still on liquids, but get to have cottage cheese and yogurt. I don't feel hungry, and only a couple of small bites make me feel like I ate too much, but I'm getting used to it. Next week I get to start the puree food, looking forward to that. I did read that if you feel hungry, you might be dehydrated and need to drink more liquids, hope that helps. I must really suck to go through this and still feel hungry :-( -
Am I overeating?
OutsideMatchInside replied to her1981's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
A yogurt with too much sugar. 9 carbs once you subtract the Fiber, and 15 grams of Protein. Not really worth it, unless you are adding Protein powder to balance out the carb content. -
I am on full liquids also. I can have pudding, jello, and yogurt, so grits aren't that far off I guess Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Thank you all of you!! I seem to be going back and forth on the 1lb. Yea I am on regular food but I really watch it. They said I was a fast healer and if I am comfortable eating it then its fine but be mindful about it. I couldn't eat a hamburger but more like salmon and some salad. I eat some crackers and suck on them to get them mooshy. But I also am on soups and yogurt. But I am proud of one thing, NO CAFFEINE or REGULAR POP!!! Good Luck to all of you!! And THANK YOU AGAIN

Today I started soft foods. Yippee!!!! I had a very strange sensation when I ate my yogurt w/ fruit. I felt very full in the top of my stomach (my stoma I guess). Couldn't have eaten another bite. But the bottom have of my stomach felt empty and kept growling. Not gurgling with food, but growling from emptiness. It wasn't head hunger either because I didn't want to eat another bite. Very strange. Also, I just experience "sliming". I was so afraid it was going to come back up. But I lifted my arms and walked it off. Thank goodness. I forgot about the warning that soft foods need to moist. But the good news is that I obviously have some restriction (from swelling I'm assuming). Full liquids were just going right through me with no restriction at all. I'm glad to be on the next phase. I hope the restriction stays for awhile since I can't get a fill for 4 more weeks.

Monday 16th? What op did you have? My Nutritionist won't let me have yogurt until Friday. -
8/26 Banders!! Let's do this:-)
ashleylaray08 replied to mstiffanyd's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am on different foods daily I add something new today is sweet potatoes and oatmeal. I also can have sugar free puddings apple sauce and low fat yogurt mashed potatoes and soft cooked veggies and I am one week and one day post op (obviously was banded the 26th) lol I have found on this forum that every doctor and post and also pre op diets are different DRASTICALLY different good luck -
I'm 3 weeks post op, and so far, my breakfasts have mostly cosisted of Carb Master yogurt (12 g Protein, 4 g carbs) and light string cheese (8 g protein, ? carbs). I'll probably stay on this for a few more weeks, or at least until I get my first fill. There is one guy at my local support group meeting who has been banded over a year that eats one hard boiled egg and four cucumber slices every day for breakfast. Not sure why, but that's his chosen breakfast. When you met with your dietician, did s/he give you a list of the acceptable foods? Perhaps you can look at it again, seeing something that you may have forgotten about. Sorry I'm not more help, since I'm a week behind you, I haven't yet graduated to a full breakfast. Good luck!

Hi: I don't count calories or carbs or Protein. I've been banded for 2 1/2 years and have never counted them. That would be too much like "dieting". My doctor tells us to eat healthy, take a multi-Vitamin, and exercise. Works for me. I usually have one of the following for breakfast. Yogurt w/a tablespoon of granola, warmed 1/4 cup of fat free milk with 2 tablespoons of granola, cup of cheerios, cereal bar, a couple of pieces of fat free cheese, cream of wheat, oatmeal, or a peach crisp that I make with instant oatmeal and no sugar added peaches. I have one pancake or 1 1/2 pieces of french toast sometimes on the weekend for a treat. I lean toward the warm choices during the winter. Best wishes to you finding foods that work for you. Keep on trying. Sue

You may have oatmeal. One of my favorites is the fat free Greek yogurts. The plain variety has 20g of protein.

During my pureed stage I was allowed scrambled eggs, soft cheeses and shredded meat, so I really lived on those. I made Shelly's Ricotta Bake (recipe on this page) and had that almost every night for dinner. I had tuna salad or a a scrambled egg with some melted cheese for lunch. I was still having two Protein shakes a day (one for Breakfast and one a couple hours after dinner). I had cottage cheese, string cheese, light greek yogurt, or Peanut Butter for Snacks. My nutritionist wants me at 85-100 grams of protein a day and I was able to get at least 85 grams in all through my pureed stage with those foods. I never actually pureed anything.

At 3 Weeks Post Gastric Sleeve Surgery How Much Do You Used To Eat?
FishingNurse replied to Liliana Arleen's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
At that stage I was very swollen still and I was eating 2 tablespoons at a time for something like refried beans. I could do a little more of a thinner yogurt. -
So hard to get the protein!
tinksmom replied to anewlife10's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The Smart-Balance fat-free milk is 110 calories and has 10g of Protein. A few more calories BUT it tastes like 2% so is good in recipes, tea, coffee and smoothies. I am also using Research Power Designer Whey powder... tasteless (really, I don't notice it) that has 100 calories and 19g protein. I add it to smoothies and Greek yogurt. Whih brings me to that which has (thank heavens) replaced my protein drinks. I like the Brown Cow, Oikos, Chobani, Fage, and now Dannon has joined the club. I do not like the Yoplait which is sour...more like traditional Greek yogurt. The ones I like are more like regular yogurts but with almost twice the protein. The first two come in smaller portions of 100 calories so if you add the whey powder it is 29g of protein for 200 calories. Good deal. When I have calories to burn I make a smoothie with the yogurt and powder plus fruit and a half cup milk. If you keep an online food diary you will probably be surprised at how much protein can be had from your foods. Then a few brand substitutions as you start to really read food labels and protein isn't the overwhelming problem it once seemed. (Whey powder can go into stews, sauces etc) -
Today is day three for me I had my surgery Wednesday and I feel okay the worst part is the pain in my shoulders and food is going down okay but I'm only eating Jell-O cream of broccoli soup with broth mixed in that seem to really cut that the saltiness and lots of water and some frozen yogurt which is really nice not the ice cream kind but just yogurt in the freezer hope everyone's well
-
I'm not a fan of Greek yogurt, but there are so many varietes now that I'd just go into a grocery store and look on the labels. Our local grocery has varieties I've never heard of.

Did Not Succeed
Cleo's Mom replied to Want To Be Thin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
There have been some good suggestions about talking to your doctor to see if your band has been placed and is working correctly. You didn't say what kind of sick you got but I assume it was band related - thus the 2cc unfill. If your band is okay and you can't for whatever reason get a fill at this time, and you seem like you can eat most foods - then I recommend that you just count calories. Stay under 1500. At your weight you should be able to lose at that calorie level. And eat healthy foods that fill you up. High Fiber, salads with lots of veggies. Wraps with lite deli chicken or ham. Baked potatoes with I can't believe it's not butter spray. High fiber cereals. And lite oatmeal. Lite Soups (progresso makes good ones). Whole grain crackers. Protein bars (special K makes a great choc. Peanut Butter Meal Replacement bar). Don't drink any calories. Just crystal lite. And Water. Use skim milk. Get lite whole wheat bread for toast. For fruit, use no sugar added cups of fruit (they come in 1/2 cup sizes). For Snacks try sugar free pudding, Jello, or the fruit. I mix the jello and sugar free peaches. Use a little fat free whipped topping. I hate cheese and yogurt but you could try that, too. Try this for about 3 weeks and see how it goes. Exercise daily, too. Do something you like. Take a walk. Join a gym. Lift weights. Take a dancing class. Whatever you like. Good luck -
Oh very important make sure the yogurt don't have fruit in them! No chunks

5 days post-op and I feel pretty good. Little gassy...but not bad. Last night is the first nite that I actually felt hunger pains so I had a 5 oz greek yogurt. Still woke up feeling hungry during the nite, but just drank more water. Got up about 7am and had a cup of maltomeal. Then about 1100 I was really hungry and I ate a can of spaghettios w/meatballs which is two cups. I don't think I needed the two cups...but part of me was curious what the band would do. I didn't notice anything... but I am not hungry and its now 8pm I did have 16 oz protein drink between 7pm-8pm just to get my protein in though. I think my goal will be to work on getting an eating schedule down now that I am not sleeping as much.:w00t:

Well, here's the scoop on yesterday's second fill results. Yesterday was an all liquid day so it was a wash (awash - get it?) as far as testing restriction. Today was a mush day up until dinnertime. Breakfast and lunch were yogurt and cottage cheese - each a measured quarter cup. dinner was going to be scrambled eggs, but the chef made a slice of ham steak also. I gave it a try, with chewing a priority. I only needed about a quarter cup of scrambled egg and four small bites of ham before hearing that small voice of the lapband saying enough...any more and you'll be overdoing it. I'm both surprised and pleased at the feedback that I'm getting from the band. It does speak - but its up to me to listen and obey. There used to be a series, I think on Masterpiece Theater, called "Rumpole of the Bailey", about an English lawyer who called his wife "She who must be obeyed". That is going to be adjusted slightly and my lapband will henceforth be known as: " It Which Must Be Obeyed!"

I'm almost 1 year post-opt and Monday I went in for a fill. This was my first fill in 7months. I was at around 4.1cc and my Surgeon filled me to around 4.6/4.7cc (I have a 10cc band). Everything was fine and I was doing liquids and yogurt until Wednesday. Wednesday I was having trouble keeping liquids down. Thursday same story. I PB on all liquids and have really bad heartburn/reflux. I called my surgeon and he can see me first thing Saturday morning. I was curious if anyone as experienced delayed irritation and discomfort after a fill.

Artificial sweetners?!?
sunflowerchild replied to twinmomC's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Not sure if you're saying you are or are not okay with stevia but that was the only "not sugar" sugar that I have done since surgery. For my 2 week pre and post op I made my own Popsicles using vitamin water zero. I also made my own jello using Kool Aid packets and Stevia. Google Kool aid jello and then just substitute stevia for however much sugar the recipe calls for. I also made my own pudding using Greek yogurt (check what sweeteners in ingredients) and unsweetened cocoa powder. It's more work than just buying everything pre made but it was worth it for me. Plus it's only a few weeks and then you should never have to do it again -
I have not tried tuna yet, mainly because it does not sound good. I think sometime next week I will give it a try. I usually love it, so I'm sure it will be fine. I'm stuck on refried Beans, fruit, yogurt, cottage cheese, almonds. That is about it. Good luck everyone!

I probably don't eat as I should, but I eat a way that works for me....every morning I have a slice of peanut butter toast...at around 10 AM I have a Nature Valley protein bar (yum)...12:30 is half a PB&J sandwich....maybe at 3 I'll have a piece of string cheese or an orange....I have whatever I fix my family for supper......and in the evenings I usually always have a TCBY frozen yogurt bar and I always always have my 2.5 cups of white cheddar popcorn. I get around 1200 - 1400 calories a day, but I lack protein (usually getting around 50-60 grams). I eat whatever I want but ALWAYS count my calories on Myfitnesspal.com (which I love). On the weekends I still stay within my calorie range but I'll include a trip to DQ (mini blizzards are great) or whatever treat we're indulging in....but again, I always count the calories.
