Pre-op diet starts tomorrow ...it's getting real now!
stephy171 replied to char3672's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sweet! Mine seems a little different than most as well! Breakfast and lunch is protein shakes. Two protein snacks can be bars, yogurt, whatever, and dinner is 6oz meat with non start veggie! -
I had vsg on 3/31 and on surgery day was 227 today I am at 202 [emoji20] Sometimes I feel a little discouraged, but then remember everyone is different and everyones plan is different. My surgeons plan has us on soft foods within 2 day. Liquids are only in the hospital, I left the hospital eating greek yogurt, cottage cheese and stuff like that. The one thing I am hoping for is that since weight loss is slower but steady, maybe I wont lose much hair, lol. Just follow your dr's plan and let your tool do it's work. Just think in 6 months if you lose steadily you will be down at least 50 lbs. Dont sweat the stalls either, I had an almost 3 week stall about 9 days after surgery, that was a little torture on the mind, but it also passed. Good Luck on your journey!!

I am almost 6 months post op (sleeve) and the sugar cravings have finally returned, and with a vengeance! I have to make sure that I have healthy alternatives on hand, like: Jif Peanut Butter To Go cups, yogurt, fruit, sugar free popsicles, and carb smart chocolate pudding pops. I fight the urge for sweets almost daily, but I manage. I didn't go through surgery just to go back to where I was.

I cook a bunch of protein at once and generally have 2-4 choices in my fridge (chicken thighs, roast chicken, fish, seasoned ground turkey...) I also cook up batches of vegetables. At mealtime I mix and match based on my appetite or what gets me good variety. When eating out I choose a salad with protein, no dressing. My treats are plain yogurt with chopped apple, or a bowl of berries. Some nuts and seeds. Lots of different herbs and spices. Cheese in moderation.

Hi all. I had my RNY on 4/24/17. Started back to work this week (fortunate to have been able to take as much time as I needed). This morning I am shaking and feeling very different. I had some yogurt for breakfast, but now I feel worse. What is up with the shaking? Anyone else have this?
-
Yesterday was fine. I had a yogurt for breakfast and for lunch. My protein shakes and all my water. For dinner I had some low sodium finely shaved ham and a wedge of laughing cow cheese. Ate really slow and chewed until it was liquified. No problems. Thank you all for your advice 😊😊 TFIG.

Protein shakes post op and protein water
Hoolahoopster replied to odontask's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sleeved May 24th. I wish I can drink shakes, for some reason I can't tolerate them so I'm stuck with clear protein isolate for now. My doctor also said no to Premier and no to greek yogurt, he's on the conservative side. Today my delivery came in to try another clear protein. I hope I like it.... -
Should I convert from my Lap Band, to the Gastric Sleeve? My band has slipped and not restricting!
resitton replied to Chicks56's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am almost 2 months out. I had a band from 2008 until 2013... successful with it - lost 120 pounds and kept 100 off through out having it... then it just shut down- no slip or erosion - dr said scar tissue- took it out and well old habits crept back in. 4 years later~ sleeve...So my experience with the sleeve is that full is a completely different feeling and that restriction is an understatement- I can't eat more than 1/3 cup of anything- even slider foods... i average 400-500 calories a day - you have to chew everything! I stick to a low carb diet- so 2 months out my typical day is either a protein shake or 1 scrambled egg around 8 am, okios triple zero yogurt for my second meal around 11am, around 2 pm I may eat a boiled egg (deviled with mayo and mustard) around 4pm a tuna packet and around 8pm if I'm hungry- another protein drink or yogurt. Sometimes I will go through Chick-fil-A and get the 8 count grilled nuggets but can only eat 4... save the others for lunch the next day.... not sure if that helps- I am personally happy I did it. I can eat 1/8 of a slice of thin crust Red Barron pizza and stop! (I use to eat the whole thing) I am down 35 pounds from surgery and 45 pounds since starting the process again... -
Yeah cottage cheese, plain yogurt, and creamed soups added to everything that I could have with clear liquids. My discharge allowable foods is attached

Newme17 replied to Newme17's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Today's eating was off. Wasn't hungry for the longest time. Had coffee, water. Finally ate 4 pistachios. Then I felt full??? Drank more water. I finally started getting hungry and had four pieces of cubed ham and turkey (not too bad) and one small bite of boiled egg (didn't sit well). That was nothing but I burped and that was it. By the time I left work, I grabbed a drinkable yogurt for the way home. Since, I had a total of six grain pretzels (more like cracker rolls?). These go down well, but I have to make sure I only eat them after I've had my protein. So, trial no error today, I'll only have them with a meal, not as a snack. And 1/2 muffin cup of ricotta bake (which I finally made). Almost sounds like I ate a lot, but it really wasn't anything. More like nibbles today. I'm going to focus on actual meals tomorrow. Hope everyone else is doing well! -
I got the surgery about 4 weeks ago, and Yes, you do feel hungry. Your mind plays tricks on you, telling you you want food but once you eat broth or a yogurt your hunger goes away plus you get full so quick. I have been doing well so far, but I do get hungry Ill snack on a cracker, or drink more water and I'm full. You will do fine, it's what we all want, to eat less now we have a tool that helps us do that.

What are you eating one month post-op
olamae replied to mewoobie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 5 weeks out and started soft veggies this week. But shrimp and catfish have been my go to meals when possible. Other than that yogurt, protein shakes and eggs! -
I eat Greek yogurt with granola every morning.
-
If it's a weekday I eat a greek yogurt for breakfast because I eat at work and that's the easiest option. Sometimes I add some granola for some starch as my NUT is big on getting starches in. On the weekend I usually go with Scrambled Eggs and Turkey Bacon, Cream of Wheat, Oatmeal, Special K Protein Cereal with Fairlife Milk, Sausage and Cheese on half an English muffin, Banana and PB Toast. I try and switch it up since it's Greek Yogurt M-F. Also I'm not afraid of carbs and starches but I do keep it in modification. Oh and once a month I eat a pancake with real maple syrup because it's my favorite food of all time. One pancake and I'm done now.

How to decide on best surgery
catwoman7 replied to fastfoodaddictnomore's topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
I try to avoid sugar free versions of trigger foods, too. After all, it triggers my eating - and I'm not going down that path again. I try to find substitutes that hit the right spots but aren't too closely related - like Greek yogurt when I'm thinking ice cream...(dairy, sweet, creamy - but not too closely related...) -
Thank you for your advice. This last week I have stayed on track by doing exactly that having healthy things ready to snack on like yogurt and deli meat and it seems to be working and I have actually lost a couple pounds! I spoke with my dietitian and she said it's normal to get hungry when your metabolism is starting to work correctly after so long with skipping meals and my body being in starvation mode. Thanks again [emoji4]

Pre-op is usually determined by your bmi. I had a 14day modified liquid diet, was able to have 3oz of Leah meat and 1/2 cup of veggies along with yogurt and SF pudding, and fruit cups. The diet is mainly to shrink the liver, Lewis only just do a better job. Sent from my Nexus 6 using BariatricPal mobile app

@Redo2017 I traveled about 6 weeks post op last year for Thanksgiving. I was nervous about not having my soft proteins with me and readily available. I got a hotel with a mini fridge. When I arrived, I went to a nearby grocery store and bought yogurt, cheese and a few protein shakes. I find when traveling it's best to have these things available to you. Remember to eat regularly since you will be moderately active! Im sure there will be munchies around as there always is with vacations and kids: chips, drinks etc. Just be good to yourself and try your best to stick to your plan. At Thanksgiving the hosts I was with had bowls of Chex mix lying around, my weakness! I ate a small handful but didn't beat myself up over it. 95 percent of the time I was on track. Have fun and be prepared with your soft proteins. And definitely skip the alcohol, you're still healing and it would wreak havoc on your tummy. Good luck!

Depends on your stage. I'm on all foods, 8 months out. My go-to's: Greek Yogurt, with walnuts or pecans. Eggs over easy or poached with bacon Egg "muffins" Quest protein bar Bacon, tomato & cheese in lettuce wrap

Do you HAVE to follow a low carb diet?
slimmingsteff replied to slimmingsteff's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mmmmmm thats my favorite. Plain greek yogurt. I usually add granola. (I'm still pre-op tho!) I use Chobani. 1 cup is 22 grams of protein. -
What should i have prepped at home after surgery
Hoolahoopster replied to MomX32017's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Sleeved May 24th. Before I went into hospital, I made a batch of homemade chicken broth and froze them in ice cube trays and just made it convenient. Each chicken broth cube is one ounce. My dr. said no protein shakes only clear protein isolate the first week. So what helped is about a month out I started testing out clear protein isolate drinks. And then stocked up on the ones I liked. I made lots sf jello and stocked up on lots of sf pop sickles. I'm still not allowed fruits or veggies, which I can't wait to eat. Also my doctor said no greek yogurt which I absolutely love. -
Do you HAVE to follow a low carb diet?
Pam_2-06-2017 replied to slimmingsteff's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have naturally fallen into a lower carb diet. I began eating my protein first. Once I finish my protein I will eat a carb (usually a veggie). I have good restriction so I'm rarely able to get much carb in during meals. I essentially eat meat and a few veggies. My go to snacks are Greek yogurt with berries. -
