Just had my pre-op appt y'all, and after spending a decent amount of time reading all the wonderful info on this board, I'm feeling concerned/confused. I'm being banded next Thursday at Northwest Weight Loss Surgery in Everett, WA and we reviewed the post-op diet. I want to be succesful. I will follow what they tell me to do. BUT... ...they have recently revised their post-op to be: 1 week full liquids (which includes applesauce, yogurt, pudding), followed by 1 week of mushies (soft fish, scrambled eggs), then on to more solid foods. First fill at 4 weeks. I fully understand the need to have the band heal and settle in place. I'm seriously thinking of extending my phases to have an extra week of liquids and an extra week of mushies. I'll be damned if I move through things to fast just to cause issues down the road. Am I nuts??

I was sleeved on the 3rd and am allowed a 1/4 cup three times a day (after its been through the blender). I'm struggling to finish that if its anything but Greek yogurt. Was really excited to try eggs today only to discover I couldn't eat more than two bites. Kind of depressing when food was such a big part of my life before. I know it'll be worth it but its not easy!

Have you cheated Post op???
PATCHELTON replied to suzetteherrera's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For Protein drinks, unjury was mentioned. If you want a ready to drink Protein shake, Worldwide Pure Protein shakes are great. They are sold at Vitamin Shoppe in all flavors: chocolate Cream, vanilla Cream, strawberry Cream, banana Cream, and Cookies n' Cream (tastes like Oreos). Each has 35g protein, very few carbs or sugar, and none of the extra Vitamins like Atkins. Since we are taking vitamins anyway, I thought Atkins was overkill. WW shakes taste better. Individually they are about $2.79 but if you buy a 12 pack for $27.99 that comes to about $2.33 each. You can also earn coupons for money off future purchases. For mushy stage, I had refried Beans (fat free) mixed with some chunky salsa that I pulverized in the blender first. Nuke in microwave for about 2 minutes, then while still hot sprinkle some Kraft Fat Free shredded cheese on top to melt. If you like Mexican food, you will like that. If you like yogurt and there is a Trader Joe store nearby, they sell Greek style plain yogurt that has 22g protein per cup! I get the fat free plain and at home divide into four half cup servings (it comes in a 2 cup container, shades of blue on outside--check the nut label to make sure it is the one with 22g), then I stir in sugar free Smucker's preserves for my fruit flavor, and sprinkle a little ground cinnamon into it too. I have had Raspberry Cinnamon, Strawberry Cinnamon, Blackberry Cinnamon, Blueberry Cinnamon, even Orange Marmalade Cinnamon (that should probably wait for solid foods as it has orange peel in it). Delicious! One tablespoon is only 10 calories. Hope this helps. Hang in there! -
Lactose can be your Enemy!

I was in a stall for about 3 weeks, then gained about 2 lbs in a week and I called my bari team in near hysterics! Very discouraged. I was feeling awful, with stomach upset, gas, bloating, lethargy. All that has gone away since I cut out dairy--which admittedly has been hard, b/c cheese (esp. cottage cheese) and yogurt had been a big part of my eating plan. -
Ash, do you just use straight greek yogurt and dip mix? I tried it based on your suggestion on another thread. It was a bit too intensely yogurt-y for me. Any tips?

Nausea every time I eat - 3-4 weeks post op
Biddy zz 🏳️🌈 replied to loveflowers's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi @loveflowers Man, you weight is coming off fast! It is so great you can get the protein shakes in. Have you tried protein soups? Hot and savoury, which makes a great change from the often-sweet shakes. And yogurt is good too - some of my earliest variety was adding flavour to plain yogurt - sweet chilli, chipotle... Your surgical team will have good advice - it does come right, but sometimes takes a little time. And the diarrhoea-then-constipation is very very common! Again, it usually comes right... Nice to see you here - the support makes all the difference... -
I switched to Greek yogurt when I decided to have surgery. It took me some time to find one I like. I use Triple Zero and Great Value fat free plain. I make a fruit dip with it and a veggie dip. I like to use the veggie dip in my shredded chicken salad instead of light mayo. It adds more protein in. I have not had my surgery yet and have had issues getting my daily protein goal in.

I tried another combination this morning and it was very good too. I put a wedged and peeled Bartlet pear into the yogurt. The only issue I'm having is eating it slow... )-: Edit: I actually think this is a better combination than with the apple wedges!

calling JAN sleevers! need to hear from ya
FitnFabfor2014 replied to schoen2014's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Jan. sleevers! My surgery was Jan. 7th. I couldn't wait until I was on soft foods, now that I am, it's a challenge, but I'm plugging along. I found my sleeve DOES NOT like pork. I'm not drinking Protein shakes (they just make me gag), getting most of my protein through food. Once in a while I have yogurts, but I'm sick of those too. I have been eating chicken, cheese, Beans and Turkey or chicken lunch meats that sit great in my stomach. I'm getting between 600-700 calories a day, but most days it's around 650. I walk daily for an hour, two days a week I walk 3.5 miles (we walk the lake). I'm so glad for the time change, now I can walk later and its still light out. It seems like I am able to hold less and less these days. My starting weight was 245, at my last appointment I was 207 (that was Feb), I won't know how much I weigh until my next appointment in April (I don't own a scale and don't want one). I do know I have dropped 3 pant sizes, 3 shirt sizes and 2 belt sizes (on notch 4 of 7 on my current belt). I'm taking all my Vitamins like a good girl. I refuse to buy new clothes, so I look a bit ridiculous with my baggy clothes, but I have my belt wrapped snug around my pants. I told myself I would splurge on month 5 or 6 (just in time for summer). It's strange seeing my reflection in the mirror when I walk by. I'm so used to seeing my stomach first. This transformation definitely takes some getting used to. Good luck everyone. -
Yeah I have. They just tell me to keep doing what im doing (eggs, yogurt) ive seen on here protein shots and I think ill try them. Know anything about their taste?

After which fill did YOU really start losing!
AandMsmom replied to AppleSmith1226's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I just had my fourth fill. Right after the fill, it was slow going with water and took 20 mins to drink a tomato Soup At Hand. I ate a few bites of dinner and then had to throw up. Thursday and today, I feel like I have no more restriction than before. I don't understand. I am 3 months post surgery and have only lost a few pounds. I try just not eating but then I get so hungry i end up snacking. If i eat a scambled egg for breakfast, a sugarfree yogurt and a piece of lowfat chhes for lunch and then some protein and veggies for dinner, I still don't lose weight. I thought this fill would be "the one" the day I had it and then one day later I'm back to normal. Able to more than I should and getting hungry after 2 hours. This is really frustrating!@!!! -
Can't Make My Body Happy
JustJenn replied to JustJenn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Kristy- I went shopping last night for cheeses and Greek yogurt. I need to get my snack on my doctor suggests 3 meals a day.... Breakfast being one! I would think the more Protein in the .morning is best... That Dr oz is a smart good looking man! I drank my shake this morning I got it down and my 1/2 yogurt & cheese for breakfast in about hour. Lili- whey protein and skim milk! If you can get them down more power to ya! It's hard & your getting all the protein.... You rock! Surgery 7/25/12 -
Can't Make My Body Happy
kristy3k replied to JustJenn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Jenn The Protein drink in the morning is a great suggestion. I heard on Dr Oz that you need 35 grams of protein in the morning to jump start your metablism. I am like you and cannot eat first thing so I always do my Protein shake in the morning. Then for some reason I never know when Im hungry but do get a stabbing pain when I dont eat. So I pretty much set myself up to eat something every 2-3 hours. baby bel light, string cheese, greek yogurt. It helps me alot!!! -
I know a good unflavoured protein brand and you can check up chemist warehouse for others. I'm in Perth so not sure where you are. But for unflavoured you add to yogurt or chicken soup etc it's called Fortis 100% whey protein bit pricey but it smells like powdered milk lol.

The taste of the roxicet is making me gag even with the zofran. Just revisited my Greek yogurt strawberry smoothie as soon as the roxicet hit my throat. All over my shirt, glasses, toilet, bathroom rug, ugh.

I was banded on the 4th - still hungry!
010308 replied to sleclerc's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I also do not think that consuming more grams of Protein will make you feel more satisfied. It is a liquid and it is not filling. I also could not stand the smell of the Protein shakes, but I started preparing them in the magic bullet. Some of the things I've mixed are chocolate Protein powder with milk and a heaping spoonful of Peanut Butter and this actually did make me feel full. I have also done vanilla protein powder with milk, a banana and peanut butter. Since the powder is mixed in so well I cannot smell it like I could when I was preparing it with a spoon in a glass. Here are things that are on my stage one-liquids only-list: Light yogurt (I got the kind you drink) SF pudding or custard cream soups-strained cream of wheat (drinkable consistency) Fruit and Veg juices broth protein shakes fruit smoothies At this point I am into the mushy stage and that has been helpful, but yesterday was the first day that I have REALLY felt hungry since my surgery on the 3rd. I did manage to satisfy my hunger, mainly with yogurt and cottage cheese-which I just ate until I finally started to feel satisfied. The other night I pureed thin strips of beef prepared in the crock pot. Tasted fine if you can get beyond the look and texture. My 4 year old was pretty thrilled by it and ate a whole cupful... I was not so thrilled. But I did get it down and I felt satisfied afterward. I used quite a bit of the juices from the cooking process to puree it. -
Okay vets - how are you doing on your vitamins/minerals supplements?
erp replied to CowgirlJane's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
I am good at taking my multi w iron (chewable) and my B12 (liquid, sublingual). I also take fish oil b/c I was having dry skin. I take that as needed aka when I need it. Where I really fall down is calcium b/c I can't take it with the multi. I have petite calcium citrate from drug store but my favorite is a blueberry flavored liquid calcium. Tastes like yogurt, you might find liquid more agreeable. -
I had my 6 mo post-op visit yesterday. I've lost 64 lbs. The doctor said I should have lost more and asked me about my diet. I eat eggs, cheese, microwave lite popcorn, fresh fruit, yogurt, Peanut Butter on apple. I think I'm eating well. That's the whole idea. He said I am eating "way" too many carbs and wants me to cut down to 15 carbs per day. I can do that but when I eat primarily Protein I cannot go number 2 and get so backed up that I'm miserable and end up having to take a load of laxatives once a week to get it all out. That can't be healthy? I hope that's not TMI. LOL. So how many carbs are you eating a day and are you still losing. At 6 months out I'm losing about 1-2 lbs every 2-3 weeks. Thanks

April 1st Sleevers! Tomorrow is our Day!
Laureadolce replied to x0CheekzVSG's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi April I peeps, ( sorry to mention peeps on Easter Sunday, because it isn't difficult enough..) So today I have sucked on, then spit out., homemade Mac and cheese shells and maple glazed ham, that I made for the fam. Not my proudest moments, but mildly satisfying. The family left the dishes for me to do - Ive already discussed that last part with husband and teen daughters... I have burped down two Mexican chocolate shakes (chocolate Pure Protein, cinnamon and a little extra unsweetened cocoa, ole') a chobani yogurt and not enough Water but the night is young. I may still rinse my mouth with the hummus, lobster bisque or cream of mushroom Soup I've got squirreled away for taste/texture emergencies. Not the cheeriest sleever, but we can do anything for a few weeks, right? -
