The dreaded dumping syndrome!
Tgarden replied to MrsGloMartin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am almost 4 weeks out, and knock on wood have not had anything related to dumping!! As far as Protein, I know I need to get some more in, but like someone else on here said, there is only so much sweet, artificially made protein a person can consume!!! I have found that the Pure Protein drinks sit best with me. 23 g protein, and they come in an aluminum bottle in a 4 pack. I get them at my grocery store. As far as yogurt, I started off with the Yoplait light, and they have some good flavors that sat really well with me. Then I noticed that the Chobani Greek yogurts have almost the same sugars and carbs with NO artificial anything, so I switched to them. So nice to not taste that sickly aftertaste that everything sugar free seems to have! The activia greek is also good and goes down well with me. I am on mushies right now (refried Beans, yogurt, grits, mashed potatoes, pureed casseroles, ets.) but can progress to soft foods tomorrow. I'm a little worried that I won't be able to get down anything new. I think I'll start with unflavored oatmeal and see how that sits! Blessings to you all on this journey! -

December Surgery Thread - we rock!
Sexy Granni replied to bellabloom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Eating anything hard is a task. I tried stew chicken and threw all night. I can stick with shakes, smoothies, yogurt,cottage cheese,tuna &chicken salad. My husband jokes that I eat like bird. It sometimes frustrating to have to eat so slow. But I know I can safely tolerate ONLY 2 .oz of solid tilipia.any suggestions I'm like 7 weeks out. -

Hello from Italy waiting Banding
girlie2shooz replied to MeiQa's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
oh yah they are smokers that is for sure. Yes Italy has the food market cornered in my opinion. So Preop food plan was 3 weeks out 1 meal of replacement shake and 2 meals of meat and green vegetable. then on 2 weeks out it was 2 Meal Replacements and 1 meal of meat and green vegetables. 1 week out 3 Meal Replacement shakes a day. i am 5'6" and weighed 212, my surgeon wanted my weight down by 8 pounds and my liver healthy. that is his practice for everyone and i did lose the weight. he had no issues with my liver and was able to work around it very easy. my post op was similiar to yours, liquids 1 week, mushies 1 week, reasonable solids (ground beef, fish, etc) 3 weeks. mushies were hard for me because I like hot cereals and those pack the pounds on me, so i went for cottage cheese, thick veggie Soups, yogurts, ricotta cheese with some seasoned stewed tomatoes and garlic, you get the pic. if you look on the right side of this web page right below the search window, it says, "Members Area." click the "messages" link and it will take you to the PM and you just type in the users name and it will send your message to that user only. i am with you, i don't wrangle these websites too often but you will get the hang of it. I have learned that my doctor's words of advice have been right on the money everytime, i have followed his directions to a tee and i feel really good and have not had any "issues." if you would like to visit their website it is Western Bariatric Institute :: Home This website is a wealth of info but if you would like to see my surgeons info packet, I would be happy to mail it to you. just let me know. g2s -
Vitamins Bother My Gastric Sleeve
mommyofLDS replied to CJinMichigan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thankfully I haven't had much issues with it, but a few of the people at my 6 month post-op were having some problems. The NUT suggested that they mash up the vitamin into a powder and then mix it with something easy to eat, like a bit of yogurt or applesauce. Don't know if it works or not, but seems like a good idea, and worth a try. Good luck -
Unjury...Who likes it and who doesn't?
Catalystmb replied to tyme4change's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I too have never noticed a smell. I have not sniffed at it though. I only have mixed it with water because I am lactose intolerant. I will throw plain yogurt, frozen strawberries in and blend it up. Van, strawberry and chocolate are great. The chicken I have not tried. -
Help - Headaches And Energy Lows
Kinley7390 replied to lilbrigy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Are you doing any Protein shakes? Some say not to replace food with liquids, however, by doing a Protein shake and adding things to it, like fruits (mixed berried, banana, peaches, etc.), you can be getting lots of protein (unjury Protein powder has 21g protein per scoop) as well as some bulk and calories from the fruit. You can add yogurt too if you are having a hard time meeting the calorie requirement. When you do chicken and veges, try stir fry with a little bit of olive oil. You can get some healthy calories in that way too. As ANewDawn mentioned (above), I was also told to eat up to one cup per meal and that it was okay to have a snack in between if necessary. Sometimes diabetics can't go 5 hours without a snack, so they eat every 3 hours or so, and even non diabetics that have difficulty going such long stretches can have a snack in between but usually it is advised to keep it to 100 calories or so. I think you can get creative with your food choices to meet the caloric intake. Eating too few calories will slow down your metabolism and inhibit weight loss. Some people will post a sample of what they ate for one whole day, and ask for advice. Perhaps you want to do that? I think the Lap band community is very helpful with suggestions and ideas to tweak your daily diet. And don't worry, you'll get this right. It just takes time and sometimes bouncing things off of other people if you don't have a structured support system yet. -
Kim I hit my two week post OP today This surgery has been super easy I almost have to check if I got it done but my port is definitely there so I know I did!!! LOL... Today starts the Mushy/Pureed foods I love refried Beans and mashed Potatoes so I think I should be able to survive for the next two weeks adding yogurt etc.. to the mix! I am extremely excited about all the new changes to come! I get my first fill on the 17th what about you?

I'm Too Picky For Liquids????
summer134 replied to allik07's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Each doctor has a little different routine to follow. But for now, on a full liquid diet you are usually good eating the following things: Water Fruit juices, including nectars and juices with pulp Butter, margarine, oil, cream, custard, and pudding Plain ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sherbet. Fruit ices and popsicles Sugar, honey, and syrups Soup broth (bouillon, consommé, and strained cream soups -- but NO solids) Sodas, such as ginger ale and Sprite Gelatin (Jell-O) Boost, Ensure, Resource, Sustacal. and other liquid supplements Tea or coffee with cream or milk and sugar or honey Ask your doctor if you can include these foods in your full liquid diet: Cooked, refined cereals, such as Cream of Wheat, cream of rice, oatmeal, grits, or farina Strained meats, like the ones in baby food Potatoes pureed in soup Once you're able to move onto mushies/soft foods you'll be able to add more foods and they will taste WONDERFUL ... tuna/ham salad type foods, potatoes with gravy, etc. Oftentimes people get so sick of the food they are currently on and move on to solid foods and it can hurt more than help. Keep going! -
Eating too few calories= slow weight loss?
sharon2013 replied to ireallywannabthin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For those of you who found it helpful to take in more calories - did it matter what kind of calories? I am basically full on 700 calories a day (and have lost no weight in the last 7 days, but am only 2 weeks post-op so not expecting too much), but I could increase calories by switching from nonfat yogurt to regular, by adding in some carbs, by eating nuts... Just wondering if there's a method to it. -
How are all the Sept. people doing?
Bring It On replied to Brenda Witte Evans's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Good luck to everyone! I had my surgery on 9/11. Down 16 lbs at my 1 week appointment to have staples removed. That was on the 19th. I had a little trouble at first getting my carbs and liquids in, but the further out I am, the better it gets. Eating eggs, cottage cheese, pimento cheese, and chicken salad now. But the best is WENDY's CHILI. Lots of Protein and taste great. Started Carbmaster yogurt today for extra protein. Also eat 1 tbs of Peanut Butter, slowly, once a day. -
What's for breakfast?
AngryViking replied to tamg26k's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Today I had a 1/2c. of overnight oats (this one: https://dashingdish.com/recipe/carrot-cake-overnight-protein-oatmeal/) which has 12 gms of Protein and was super delicious and filling. And coffee. Most days I have Greek yogurt with some kind of crunchy mix-in, like All Bran or Cheerios. And coffee. Weekends is usually a cheese omelet or protein pancakes with turkey bacon. And coffee. -

What's for breakfast?
Healthy_life2 replied to tamg26k's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
The pancake recipe above is not my normal Breakfast. It's a hit the craving and get it out of the way for me. I use my own Protein powder. I add as much as I like...I also use sugar free maple syrup My normal is egg whites. Prosciutto (paper thin Italian bacon) and asparagus. or a light and fit Carmel Apple pie geek yogurt. Has little pieces of apple. So good. -
Good carbs / Healthier food choices
Daisee68 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am just over 9 weeks out and just FINALLY feeling better and feel like I am turning a corner. (No vomiting in 8 days! YAY!) I had quite a bit of trouble with meats but likely because I wasn't chewing enough or eating too much so I have stayed with very soft foods that I knew I could tolerate and with that I don't feel like I am making the healthiest choices - just been focused on getting any food down and keeping it there and learning to stop when satisfied, eat slowly, etc. I am consuming around 500-600 calories per day with 80-90g Protein (thanks to shakes). I am not crazy about cooked mushy vegetables though I do like raw veggies but I know my system is not quite ready to tolerate them. I do love fruit - especially berries but I know I am not quite ready for those either. I have had a small bit of banana a few times (in a shake) and a peach slice (in Water no sugar added) and tolerated both very well. For what it's worth, I am getting in about 1/4 to 1/3 cup per meal which is pretty much 2 Tbsp (1/2 ounce) of meat (shaved turkey or tilapia) and then another 2 to 3 Tbsp of cheese usually. (Most of my protein is coming from dairy - cheese, yogurt, etc.) I did successfully eat 1/2 a Quest bar today for Breakfast for the first time and I was very happy about that! I sure wish I could move on to nuts and Jerky but not confident I will chew it will enough yet to tolerate it. Oh and I have had scrambled eggs but honestly I just don't like them that much unless they have salsa on them. (Seem to be handling spicy just fine.) I was only able to eat about 1/4 of the egg before I just couldn't get in anymore. (Cold eggs are even nastier than hot eggs and eating a small bite every 90 seconds or so gets the eggs cold very quick!) I have a meeting with NUT on Monday but was wondering if anyone had suggestions that I might ask her if I can progress to. I think she has told me a few more weeks at least before raw veggies (never craved cucumber so much in my life! ) I am not frustrated or bored with my food choices at all. Not struggling with head hunger. Just wanting to make sure I am really working on healthy food choices in addition to very tiny food choices.... -
Most of time time the first two weeks following bypass is: Week 1 - Clear liquids only SF Jello, broth, Water, crystal lite, watered down apple juice, SF Popsicles Week 2 - full liquids and clear liquids- same as above plus creamed Soups, yogurt, Protein shakes (no more watered down Apple juice) Week 3 - the will move you to puréed if all goes well. You should ask your surgeon for his/her food plan because they all seem to differ but they should give you some idea of exactly what to eat when. In terms of meds, you should try to get yourself the liquid versions for the first 3 months or chewable if you can. Otherwise you will be crushing anything that is bigger around than a pencil eraser. This improves over time but those first 3 months it is pretty swollen in there. I don't use a blender because I buy Premier Protein ready made shakes instead of all the powders. When I had the puréed stage I used either my food processor or I had a nutrition bullet. I have since given that nutri bullet away. The best of luck to you! I hope all goes well.

Started my pre-op diet today. Failed somewhat miserably. Lol. Im really just like a fish outta Water here. My old surgeon had a whole plan where 2 weeks before you do two shakes a day then like a real food Protein dinner...only lean meat and veggies. My new surgeon has no plan of the sort he just said it'd be nice if I lost a few pounds before surgery. Im trying to follow my old surgeons plan cuz its more structured. Today I was ok with the one shake in the morning. Im still waiting on my other shakes so I had a Protein Bar and fruit for lunch. Dinner got a lily crazy because a lot was happening, I had chicken that I'd stuffed with spinach and feta but then I messed up by having noodles with it. Right now I feel like a failure, but I've also discovered that Im going to just stick to the shakes and broth packets fruit and yogurt cuz eating real food is just going to complicate things for me.

Protein deficiency at 6 months?!?
catwoman7 replied to mousecat88's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have to have 100+ grams every day or my prealbumin level tanks. Just get some powder you can tolerate and stir it into things - sugar free pudding, yogurt, etc. ANYTHING to get your numbers up! -
I had something that sounds sort of similar to this yesterday. I’ve consistently been eating my yogurt and a protein shake in the morning to wake my stomach up slowly, but I had a small bit of an omelette instead and it felt so strange right after. Last time I do that. I got back on my normal routine today.

Do you have any restriction? That seems like an awful lot of bread to eat with restriction. Instead of milk why not add your cereal to some Nonfat yogurt and fruit?

Ugh I'm messing up already
juju79 replied to bb3586's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved the same day. I am not hungry at all but I have found that i love Greek yogurt and refried beans with mozzarella cheese and sour cream, I hated refried beans before and love them now. -
2 weeks beyond surgery still hungry 2,200 calories a day what's wrong?
TMG1980TMG replied to Dallas Powell's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am almost 4 weeks out and I can barely get 500 calories in. When they said soft foods they mean yogurt, cottage cheese that sort of thing- not soft lean cuisines. In my pre-op education I was told no bread, Pasta, rice. What are your Protein goals? Are you meeting them? I hope you can talk with your surgeon/nutritionist ASAP! I agree with others who said go back to the hospital. I can't even fathom how you could eat 3 lean cuisines in a row after bypass surgery... Mind blown! I hope they are find out what is going on here--- this doesn't make any kind of sense. ???????? -
My tummy has rumbling and tumbling noises seems like non-stop. Too many close cases where gas turned out to be diarrhea. When will this part end? I ate two fiber one yogurts and 24 grams of protien today.

Frustrated And Disgusted...
Yasmine replied to Soli3l's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on Nov 12th... and am not hungry but I know that my body needs fuel... and I want to meet my minimum goal of 25grams of Protein. This is a sample of what I eat per day: B: 1/2 Greek Yogurt L: 1 tsp of Peanut Butter D: 1 Scrambled Egg Snack: 1 Low Fat cheese Stick At first I thought... if I'm not hungry or once I eat... if I'm full it's a good thing... cuz I don't want to learn to overeat with my new tummy. But my Dr told me that that's the worst thing that I could do to my body and that the first thing to go will be my hair So sometimes its a chore... but I slowly get it down! Good Luck!!!
