How many pounds have you guys lost in your first 2 weeks after surgery
Gaylancsu replied to iHaveh0pe3's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was down 15 pounds after 1 week and 20 after 2 and nothing more in the 3rd, in fact it rebounded a little but then levelled off and has been staying at 20. Frustrating in a way because I'm tracking my food and I've not broken 1000 calories in a day (which before would cause me massive weight loss). I sprained my knee 2 days before surgery and it's still healing (eveytime I think it's better and try to even do a healthy walk it hurts so bad the next day). I'm going to get an exersize bike this weekend to see if I can work on that and not hurt my knee... but yeah, it's super annoying (as I sit here trying to make it to lunch on just having a homemade smoothie with Greek yogurt, protein powder and peaches and feeling absolutely STARVED) -
So.. I'm almost 7 weeks out and I need advice!

Everything seems to make me sick- 2 1/2 months out.
Spiceyfrog replied to ChattyChatterton's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@sparksrn, I just had about 10-12 soybeans for lunch, that about what I can eat :-) The ONLY thing I can eat in a bit larger quantity is yogurt, I can eat a whole container, but it takes me about a half hour. Anything else, 1/4C max. -

Soft food ideas?
Phoenix79 replied to halfofheather's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Instead of mashed potatoes, try mashed cauliflower! This will keep your carbs lower. Steam, add a little plain Greek yogurt, a 1/4 tsp of beef concentrate stock (really helps with flavor), salt, pepper and mash! Sooo yummy! Later on post op I'm going to try the mashed cauliflower to top off a shepherd's pie! -
me and protein don't mix
momofjal replied to mzblaze36's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I HATE protein! It makes me sick to my stomach, also! I found one shake that I can take, but it takes all day to try and get it down. It is premier protein, I got it at Sam's and it has 30 g. I am able to eat yogurt now. The best one so far is Dannon Light and fit GREEK. They have strawberry, blueberry, and vanilla. They have 80 cals. and 12g of protein. I eat 3 a day right now to get my amount of protein. Much better then the shakes and powder. -
I had the greatest idea for opening a new chain of fast food restaurants this morning. It would be a post bariatric surgery patients dream come true. The only thing on the menu would be high protein meats and fish, cottage cheese and Greek yogurt, sugar-free Jell-O and putting, some fancy flavored ricotta cheese desserts, veggies and low carb fruits. We would make our own delicious protein smoothies. There would be absolutely no bread, pasta, chips or even liquids of any kind served. The salad bar would offer customers a scale for their use so they could measure their own portions.,Every day would also feature a couple of high-protein low-carb hot meals. I would call it The Pro Shop. That should read *pudding! Damn autocorrect

Pre-Surgery Diet - What's yours
Misha_Lynne replied to magicalwoman's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Went grocery shopping for the 2 week pre-op diet and here's a pic of all, except 1% milk, 0 fat Greek yogurt, and premade protein shakes in fridge. This is unsweetened applesauce, sugar free pudding, sugar free gelatin, cream of wheat, grits, steel cut oatmeal, sugar free water flavors and unflavored/unsweetened, plain stevia sweetened, and chocolate protein powders. (Yes, I am a bit OCD, but aren't we all a bit!) -
Why is everything sweet?
doppelganger replied to doppelganger's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
As far as soups I've just bought the canned creamed soups (chicken, mushroom etc). I was hoping to hide some unflavored Protein powder in them but there's no way in the world to eat enough soup to waste the powder on, 2-3 small bites and you're full. They don't taste right to me either, maybe something post op. I found the easiest way to get protein in is to mix 1/2 a scoop unjury unflavored (~10gm) to a cup of Oikos zero of my choosing (~15gm). Eating two of those throughout the day is 50gm. My dietary plan allows yogurt during the full/thickened liquid phase.Thanks for this idea. I am four days post op and just can not do the protein drinks. In two days I can have yogurt I'm going to have to get some unflavored protein. Does it make it really thick and gritty? The Unjury powder makes it a little thicker but not much and not gritty at all. When I first tried I used a whole scoop and it was horrid, I don't advise that! =) I eat mine with a fork taking tiny bites and it takes a while to get it all in, but it works. I can't stomach the shakes post op either. -
i'm pretty boring with my breakfasts. I generally rotate through greek yogurt, cottage cheese and egg bites. For the egg bites - think crustless quiche baked in mini muffin pans. 2 sometimes 3 of those make a breakfast for me. I change up the veggies and meat added to them for variety.

i got banded 2 days ago!! advise please
Momto5 replied to helenukhelen's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tomato soup, my dr. also let me have creamed Soups. I have also had frozen yogurt, eaten slowly. Yogurt smoothies. I am 6 days post op -
I had my surgery this past Thu (11/20). I am suppose to be on thin liquids for 2 weeks, then thick liquids for 2 weeks, and THEN I get soft foods. So basically I'm a month away from any sort of food. I'm really thinking, hoping, whatever, that at my follow up appt. on Dec. 5th that he gives me to go ahead to move on to soft foods. I cannot lose weight like this. I'm not talking about anything more than yogurt, or eggs, or oatmeal. Just anything that will give me some calories. I also feel like this sets me up for failure. That's 5 weeks on liquids, it seems a bit extreme. I can swallow my regular meds with no problems, and I have flown through this thing without breaking a sweat. I haven't even had to take OTC pain relievers. The day of surgery he gave the order for me to move on to day 2 of the plan the nutritionist gave me. I'm definitely going to ask him about it. How long were you on liquids after your surgery?

I was on liquids and soft foods (jell-o, yogurt, pudding, creamed Soups and broths) for 2 weeks post-op. Then, my nutritionist moved me to all Protein all the time for 6 weeks. I can have one Protein shake for any meal and then I can have cheese, eggs, fish, shrimp, chicken, ground turkey, etc. for the other 2 meals. No fruit, veggies, starches, etc. until I meet with her again in January. I never realized how much I miss vegetables until I couldn't eat them for 8 weeks. I know it is a struggle but the doctors have your best interest at heart. I just found out that my surgeon is going on medical leave for several months so I will be following up with a doctor I don't know. I am pretty nervous about that too but I guess he is just as knowledgeable as my surgeon. Hang in there.. you will be eating regular food before you know it.. just a lot smaller portions. :cursing:

Hunger after band??
MomgetsHealthy replied to madfroglady's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Angermom - Wow! 40 pound is great! If I could do that I'd be happy! I do seem to be less hungry yesterday and today than I was day 2 and 3! But my dr. says liquids until 1st appointment which works out to be 15 days!!! It really hard trying to add variety. The yogurt idea is great. I'm going to try adding strawberry Protein to vanilla yogurt for lunch. -
For me a lot of tuna/ham/chicken/seafood salad, cottage/ricotta cheese, blended turkey chili, blended veggies and fruits, refried Beans, eggs, and yogurt. I found I really like that canned chicken. With mayo or ranch, with chic gravy, with ricotta and red sauce. I'm ready for "real" food again.

Friends, I was banded on 1/27, about 6 1/2 weeks ago and am happy with my 27 pound weightloss.My Dr. Didn't give me a fill since I'm losing at a good pace and I get full pretty quickly.strangely, for the past few days I haven't been hungry at all.I thought it was a reaction to some wine that I drank on Saturday (which gave me reflux all night), but it has been 2 days and I'm still not wanting anything to eat. Up to this point I'd feel some what hungry and have something to eat every 3 hours or so. But it took all I had to drink a yogurt and fruit smoothie this morning. Is this just the way that life rolls with the band? I'm trying to focus on drinking water so at least I stay hydrated. Any thoughts/comments? Best, Loryn

I have to do 3 days of "full liquid" diet for pre-op. I wasnt really given a certain amount, the doctor told me to get in at least 40-80 grams of protein/day - using the Protein shakes (2 servings/day), adding protien powder if needed to other things like Soups, cottage cheese, yogurt, SF pudding etc. Ask your doctor or nutritionist then I would just start reading labels and go by the serving size listed.

My puréed list has things on it like malt o meal, cream of wheat, yogurt, mashed potatoes, any meats are to be puréed/blended with broth/gravy and then eaten...so hard to even think of eating meats puréed...lol I'm too picky
-
@@mefosburg @@auntjanny I'm eating baby food fruits, mashed potatoes and gravy, taco seasoned refried Beans, malt o meal, and yogurt so far. I honestly don't know how other people can purée food. I just can't eat puréed chili or Soups even, when I had jaw surgery a lot of people actually puréed McDonald's and other foods....sounds awful to me

I had a day where I was trying to get my Protein in very early on and it was just crappy. Everything I tried to drink was just horrible. I was on clears, and the Isopure was working (it's not great, but I've had worse), but I was so tired of it that I was trying the other things I'd bought in preparation for surgery. My nose was so sensitive to that "protein" smell I could barely get anything down and it was all disgusting to me. I was definitely frustrated. Luckily the next day I got to start the full liquids so shakes and all that got introduced back in. It was so much better because there is a bit more choice than clear options. (Although even then there were days it was hard to finish my protein goal because it was just really sweet by the end of those two weeks.) You will get through it. It's not easy, but it is definitely worth it. Stick to the plan and don't let yourself rationalize eating off plan. Especially not while your stomach is so new. You will make it and you'll be so happy when you get that 1-2 oz portion of refried Beans or yogurt lol.

Hi There, I'm on day 4 and I'm having some sensations that I'm trying to figure out. I believe a lot of it is hunger pangs. I didn't think I would feel hungry right after surgery but I do. I would like to be able to have four instead of three meals so I don't have the hunger pangs as bad. I plan to ask my doctor about it. Last night I experienced the sensation of being a little too full after drinking a bit too much broth. It was a tightness in the middle of my chest along with a little heartburn. I'm taking care to limit my full liquid meals (yogurt, Soup, pudding) to 2 oz. I sometimes feel a tightness in my stomach which is relieved by expelling gas. I'm not having a lot of gas at this point though. These are some of the sensations I've experienced. I guess it's all normal, but it does take some getting used to. Good luck to you!

Pre-op liquid diet -- not required by surgeon but thinking I want to do it anyway
beautyqueen replied to beautyqueen's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks so much for the replies. I will look into the Isopure, I've read about that before. I can definitely work with a high protein/low carb diet, I'll do some looking online for some ideas. I'm thinking eggs, greek yogurt, grilled chicken and salad, etc. Thanks! -
Are you sure you might not have a bit of a stomach bug? It would seem like that might be likely since you have been eating for awhile now without these issues. If you don't think that might be the case, I would stick with things like yogurt and other soft creamy foods and let your system have a little rest.
