April 23- Sleevers
StephsJourney replied to hopeful2loose2014's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Sorry you are still having a difficult time getting everything in and still experiencing pain. I have been able to get all of my requitrements in (2 protein shakes and 48 oz of other clear liquid) since day 3. As soon as I stopped taking the pain meds it seemed to get easier. I had my post op visit yesterday and they advanced me to cream soups, yogurt and farina. It's been like heaven. Other than my navel being a little tender, I have no pain at all. -
I'm on full liquids for 2 weeks now....pudding, yogurt, carnation instant Breakfast sugar free. Stuff like that. I live in Minnesota, where about do you live? TTYL:cool2:

Interesting....I am allowed to eat the yogurt and pudding as is ..no need to thin it . And I have tolerated it just fine:laugh:
-
Even when I'd moved on to yogurt and cottage cheese, I still wasn't feeling full. I couldn't feel my stomach at all. I called my clinic worried that maybe there was nerve damage or something. From what I understand, it takes a while for your stomach to come out of the anesthesia and shock and trauma of surgery. I didn't feel what I recognized as "full" until I was eating flakey fish.

Seriously I don't want to complain about this surgery, It's what I wanted and did it for a very good reason. I'm 5 day's out and on full liquids I feel like thing's are falling apart and I'm just trying my best to hold it all together. I'M STARVING!!..I've gotten in all 64oz of Water and 80grams of Protein and I'm so hungry I'm about to crack! It doesn't help that my husband decided it would be an awesome idea to bring 2 large pizza's into the house for himself and my small 4 year old daughter that will only eat 1 slice, But yet he thought it was necessary to get two after I told him to get one..This isn't head hunger. It's not acid reflux or the need to drink more water, this is stomach eating hunger.. Taking my pain pills and wrapping up in a blanket for a long night's sleep, At least I won't feel hungry then. Hopefully.. Hi there Baby...I've been reading your posts for a while now. Please don't be discouraged. I too get hungry and it has been that way since about the 5th day post-op. In fact, I broke the rules on the 6th day post-op and had yogurt and cottage cheese and refried Beans with melted cheese. Not saying you (or anyone else) shoud necessarily do that, only that the hunger is real and I feel you. There have been many times over the past 4 weeks that the rest of the family has been eating something really good..like hamburgers and french fries and yes, PIZZA! These were formerly two of my favorite meals. It's hard to sit there and smell it and want to have it, especially when you are truly hungry. I would sit down with my low-fat pot pie Soup and eat that. When I would become full fast, it would remind me that even if I wanted what they were eating, there was no way in heck I could even get down a portion of any of it. Other than that, I had to just walk away. They asked for chocolate chips Cookies the other day and I was going to make it for them. But after some thought I knew if I did, there was no way I could stop myself from sampling some cookies. So I just didn't go there at all. As my mother always likes to to say, this too shall pass. Good luck to you!! I know you will be successful with each pasing day.

How long did you deal with head hunger post op?
Lily66 replied to Horseshowmom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow, 3 meals/day with no snacks would be difficult for me. I have 1/2 an apple or orange midmorning and other half mid afternoon or string cheese, yogurt, a vegetable, etc.-something sensible but it prevents stomach acid and nausea for me. It also helps maintain a good blood sugar level in my case. We’ve each got different issues to deal with so makes sense plans can be different. I told doc I want my plan to be something I can live with long term and this works. Continued success and best wishes to you! -

Anyone have gastric sleeve years after having your band removed?
EagerPenguin replied to kyotosong's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
That is great! It shows dedication to a healthier lifestyle. It'll be good to have a tool (the sleeve) to help keep that off. Your appetite may or may not decrease after sleeve surgery. Mine is still there, but I've read of other who aren't hungry at all for up to a year. I've read that you can expect to lose about 60% of your excess weight with the sleeve, but some have lost more and actually achieved a normal BMI. I've been having some trouble with the diet; I didn't expect it to be this difficult to tolerate. I'm so sick of liquids, of protein shakes, and now of pureed textures. I want something crunchy, a cucumber with greek yogurt ranch dip perhaps. I'll get to regular foods eventually, but the wait is a lot longer in my mind than I was expecting. My weight loss has also been slow so far. I was sleeved on 12/7/17 and have lost about 12 pounds since then, which seems low. I suspect it's due to my medications, because there's no way it's due to excessive caloric intake. And it turns out that the timing is harder than I anticipated. Having the surgery before the holidays has been really hard. I was having a little bit of regret at first, when I was more bummed out about these issues, but I don't regret the surgery at all. I think it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. I totally feel a difference from the band. I had a more difficult recovery with the sleeve than the band (a week of mild nausea, stomach cramps), and as I wrote about above, the inital diet is typically long and in my opinion sucks, but it'll be worth it. So far, instead of my food getting stuck at the top of my stomach, it slowly makes its way to the bottom until I feel satisfied. You still have to eat slowly, and take small bites and chew chew chew, but I've not had any regurgitation, "stuck" foods, or "slime-ing", even now that I've started puree. Also, NOT HAVING A PORT. That's glorious. I hated the thing. It flipped on me shortly after placement, so I had to have another surgery to fix it, the fills were painful, and it was plain uncomfortable under my skin. The sleeve is like night and day from the band. It's becoming very common to revise from the band to sleeve. Best wishes as you make your decision. -
November Sleevers....how Much Have You Lost?
ashleyxx replied to Kristin's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Yes I have gone through a few long plateaus! I guess it will depend on a few things, how much you eat, what you eat, how much you have to lose etc.. What I did and it broke my stall was basicly go back to basics, grilled chicken, deli meats, tuna fish, veggies, yogurt, Protein shakes, cheese, nuts, I try my best to stay away from white carbs (bread, rice, potatos) If I want some bread type stuff I have low carb wraps, or the lower carb wasa crackers. -
Hey Guys! I have 1 and 1/2 days left! I must say the liquid diet thing (I'm winging it too... diet shakes, Jello, non-chunky Soup, yogurt etc) has helped with my confidience.... I've lost 6 pounds... and in a way it makes me feel that I won't die with out "real" food. I listened to my friend and decied to grab a bit of my favorite foods (ok A LOT) and "pig out" before surgery, since I will never be able to again. You know what guys, I felt AWFUL!!!! Not just emotionally, guilty that I cheated. But I was nauseous, my stomach felt unsettled and heavy. It was probably the best idea ever cause now I KNOW I can do this! I hope this help ya'll fighting that liquid diet! :biggrin: Ambo Hey how can I get those weight/bmi counter dower things on my posts?

I got my 2nd fill yesterday. I have a total of 3cc's in my band. (only 4 cc's allowed). I am having a hard time even drinking liquids. I wasn't sure if I was having a hard time due to swelling or maybe I am just not used to what restriction should feel like. One minute I have problems with eating yogurt, oatmeal or drinking water and then a hour later it goes down just fine. I know that food should stay in the pouch but if anything sits in there it is uncomfortable and like there is a weight on my chest. Is this normal? I was wondering if this is common for others and whether or not I am just feeling this because my fill was so recent and was wodnering if it would stop after swelling went down. Any advice is appreciated.

Oh "Angela" - thank you for the laugh! I am so sorry to hear about your hospital experience, but hopefully it will be smooth sailing from here onwards. My biggest issues have been: pain in left shoulder (no consensus on cause or cure it seems), constipation (took milk of mag today, I pray for relief!), and not killing my BF for eating pizza in front of me (to be fair, he's been really good and only broke down on my day 8). Although I get full much faster than I ever did before, I'm tired of being full on broth and yogurt drinks! Will shop this weekend to get more variety which hopefully will help. Love the idea of yahoo group and will join, thanks for setting it up WVGal!

By the way I forgot to report on myself. I have done extremely well. I have very little soreness now (day 5) . I haven't had any gas pains. I had the same experience that CMT had. I laughed when she said she "wasted" the yogurt. That's me. Always cleaned my plate, always "got my money's worth" at a buffet. "All you can eat" is not supposed to be a challange! I have not had any doubts that I have done the right thing. I am down 23 from my highest (265) I was 255 when I started my pre-op diet and today I am down 13 (242). My husband tells me "Thats 13 lbs you'll never have to lose again" In some of my pre-op posts I told of my fear that I would be the one person in this world that this would not work for. But now that it's done I am determined that I will make this work for me.

I can't stop losing weight
elcee replied to ebroms17's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
This is something I have wondered about. Probably the easiest way to add in calories is to swap low fat varieties for full fat. So if you currently eat lf yogurt and milk try the full fat versions. Eat healthy fats like avocados and nuts etc. I have seen a number of posts on fb lately with photos of people that have got to a BMI of 18 and all the responses have been great, well done etc. What concerns me is that no one seems worried that for an adult a BMI of 18 is very low (even though it is technically in the healthy range). I think it would be very easy to become addicted to the high of losing weight and ignore the signs that a person may be getting too thin. I am glad that you are addressing this. -
I got on the scale this morning and I'm 193.5. Damn!!! So my goal is still 180 by x-mas, but now I have 13.5 lbs to lose. This morning I had a yogurt, lunch was a sald with lean ham and turken, 1 tbs of dressing, raisins, 1 tbs of cheese and 1 tbs of croutons. Thats 315 cals. The yogurt was 80 cals. So thats 395 cals so far today. I plan on having some cheese for a snack, 80 cal, and 1/2 cup of grapes, 55 cals. That leaves me with 470 cals for supper. My plan is to eat like this all week and see where I am at weight wise on Monday. I want to keep to 1000 cals per day (I am not adding my coffee with 2 tbs of hot cocoa, this is another 80 cals, but I decided that this will be my "cheat" for the day because I don't count it) I know I need to keep my protein up but this week I want to be all about the calories. If I need to adjust to get either more or less, I will know by next monday. Does this plan sound stupid? If so, what should I change?

Bread vs. low carb tortillas..hard to eat?
wasfatnsassy replied to weightisover's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi all - just banded on July 29 - feeling better today but am pretty hungry most of the time. Not eating more than yogurt right now but in anticipation of working up to solid food would some one please spell out for me exactly what a "PB" is and what is "sliming" - it seems this is like regurgitating up food but not clear. What does one do when either happens? How long does an attack of each last and what are best strategies to get through them? Read earlier someone said they used pineapple juice and given the enzymes in this fruit maybe these help "dissolve"?? Thanks for input. I believe forewarned is forearmed! -
Hey Everyone, I'm 11 days post-op and feeling great. I have been very lucky to have had no nausea, vomiting, very little pain, and all around I can do all the things I used to do before surgery. I was wondering if anyone else this early in wasn't having any problems with their liquids. I can drink a bottle of water fairly easily. I have very little restriction when it comes to water, crystal light, etc. I do have some restriction when it comes to cream of wheat, yogurt, S.F pudding. I just want to make sure my little belly is working right. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

20 Mi Hiking & NO LOSS!
losingitin2012 replied to losingitin2012's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Do you recommend additional carbs or protein for the extra calories? I've been shooting for 90 gms protein and so most food is protein in the form of meat, shake, or Greek yogurt. I track every bite through a sparkpeople app on my phone. I track all outdoor exercise via GPS on the endomondo app. I should mention that I'm always constipated now (TMI?), so it's possible that some carbs in the form of fiber might help. Thanks again for the support! PAT -
Typical day, typical foods
Escape_Pod replied to Penpen's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
GREAT thread idea - thank you! I'm 9 weeks out... First thing: Protein hot cocoa (Unjury chocolate splendor, 8 oz warm milk, 1T unsweetened cocoa & salt) Breakfast: 3 egg bites (Eggface recipe), or 1 egg / cheese "omelet", or 3 oz chobani greek yogurt Lunch: 2 T Peanut Butter w/ 3 mini crackers, or tuna/cottage cheese / lemon pepper, or sliced lunch meat / cheese, or 3 oz grilled salmon from the salad bar place downstairs (my new favorite!) Snack: Protein shake of some kind - usually a nectar one Dinner: Some kind of saucy meat. (probably need to add a few veggies / carbs here) I usually get 40 - 45 minutes of cardio exercise / day - stationary bike, treadmill, or hill walking. Some days I think I'm lower in carbs than I really want to be. Like, under 20 grams. I'm still tweaking... -
Day 1 Surgery And Wondering What I've Done To Myself
Ann_Marie replied to Ann_Marie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My post surgery diet is clear liquids day 1 & 2. And day 3 &4 full liquids. So today I am on full liquids. I took my painmeds this morning with my Protein drink this morning. yesterday was the day I ate crackers. I didn't have any problems. I chewed them until they were mush. Since I am now on full liquids I can eat yogurt, pudding, oatmeal..... Why does it sound like everyone has a longer clear liquid diet??? -
Try unflavored greek yogurt and mix a little at a time until your tuna salad is moist enough.
-
Yogurt is listed under mushy on my post op list. Dr's are different so definitely double check w yours
-
your dr. must have a different definition of liquids. yogurt was also a mushy/pureed food per my post op list. just to be sure, call the office to confirm that applesauce is ok.
