12 days post op = struggling
Berry78 replied to bones_girl206's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yeah, so I've lived off of milk and home made broth. Tomorrow I start purees in earnest, and that will go much better! I've been lucky to not be sick, probably because I didn't push all those fake things. Oh, and Siggies drinkable yogurt or kieffer is da bomb. -
Is flavored greek yogurt a no no? I thought that as long as the protein was higher than the sugar content it was ok. I hope my nut teaches me these things, she hasn't been very helpful yet. I am planning on finding a dietician after surgery(someone on here recommended that instead of a nut)

Having a melt-down-Need Advice
BAinLKW replied to Lauren PB's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am hungry, but afraid to eat too much at one time or too fast. I started eating cottage cheese and yogurt after about a week -
Breakfast in the beginning will probably be protein shakes. Then as you go on to pureed foods you can do scrambled eggs and I found a really great plain greek yogurt that is very low carb made by HEB. I would just add a little bit of stevia to it to sweeten it. Cottage cheese is also a good low carb breakfast idea. I am almost 5 months post op, so I am on regular foods. I like to keep my carbs low and my protein around 100 grams a day, it really helps me lose weight. So, if I want to incorporate a bit of carbs into my diet, I go with veggies like fresh cooked beets, fresh cooked carrots or brussel sprouts. I stay away from all bread, pasta, rice, potatoes (even sweet potatoes). And of course when you get to regular foods, you can eat some of the no carb veggies. Remember, that you always want to fill up on protein first when eating, so you really aren't going to have much room for other foods. Proteins will keep you full longer. Carbs will lead you to be hungrier for more food and too many of them will keep you from losing weight.

Liquid Diet Struggles
360lyMe replied to kafinator330's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on 3/1 and had no problem with the liquid diet, but my 1st day on soft foods (3/15) was horrible. I tried a little chicken salad and wasn't able to keep it down. Any chicken is still a definite NO for me. I'll be able to eat regular foods next week, but I'm scared to have anything but tuna, boiled eggs, and Greek yogurt since I know I can keep those down and they are high in protein. -
I'm doing my count down diet before surgery on the 17th. I've been eating lots of premier protein, Greek yogurt, and chicken. I have a bad habit of slacking off on my water intake during my days off and it really bit me in the ass this week. I've been consuming quite a bit more protein and have taken out juice and milk as sources of fluid to drink. On top of that, I have been trying to stop drinking when I eat. Gave myself a kidney stone that felt like the worst thing ever. Hopefully, since I'm 92oz deep in water consumption today and still going, my symptoms will clear and the stone will pass quickly. I have 8 days left till the surgery and I can't stop the swirl of information clouding my thoughts and making me space out. I've never had a anything more than a dental surgery before. I find this twilight exciting and confusing. I've rifled through youtube once again, looking at more and more videos of people who got their surgery and what they have dealt with. I keep wanting to take pictures of my facial hair to compare before and after but I can't stand the feeling of it. It drives me crazy. I hate it. I'm making one last attempt to let it grow a few days before surgery, but I won't place an expectation on myself that I'm not sure I can comfortably meet. It's so upsetting to me. I hate PCOS. I can't wait to have this tool to help change my life. When I get nervous, I just think about how happy I was when I was on the Ideal Protein diet and got down to 170. I was so hungry and dizzy all the time, but I was just so happy to be back in my old clothes again. Like I could just taste the hope every day was saturated in. I want to do this. I want to feel like myself again. If I need surgeries afterwards for loose skin, I don't care. I just want to get back to my life.

Not loosing expected weight after sleeve surgery
OutsideMatchInside replied to Basmouta's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@Basmouta You are not eating enough. You should be eating a lot of protein. You are not eat much and most of it is carbs. You should be eating 100 grams of protein a day with your high starting weight, at least 60 grams if you can't get 100 in. Give up the toast, yogurt, skim milk, cooca. They are useless. Do you keep a food log? Post what you eat in a whole day. -
Smart Ones for Soft Food Stage
HeatherS. replied to Sleeve1stFitNext's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's going to vary from Dr to Dr. Mine said no meats unless I've put them through a blender for soft foods stage. Having had Smart Ones, I'd advise against. The meat is pretty tough. Google Eggface for lots of things you can eat. She's a great resource. If you're in a situation where you can't cook for yourself (it happens), it seems that canned chicken, canned tuna, and canned corned beef hash are the more common choices at that stage (especially turned into a "salad" version with yogurt or mayo, etc.) -
Not loosing expected weight after sleeve surgery
Basmouta posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had my sleeving on 1 sep 2016, I have been loosing weight so slowly, I am 57 yrs, start wt 140 kg (310 lb) current wt 115 kg (253 lb) my goal wt is 70 kg (154 lb), I eat so little like an egg, 1 cucamber, 3 carrots, 1 low fat yogurt, 1 toast, and add skimmed milk to my tea and low fat cocoa, I drink a total of 8 glasses Water and 2 cup of tea and 1 cup cocoa, I don't excercise at all as I am depressed and have slippage of vertebrae and fibromyalgia, I am loosing the wt so slowly and after 7.5 months I have only lost 35% of my excess wt. my doctor stopped replying on my questions that I'm wondering why am I not loosing weight as sleeved people do, I have read that people who are on wheeled chair lose wt although not moving at all, I try to walk but after 10 minutes my back hurts me so much, and I rest for days moving only in the house, so my question is has anybody else lost wt so slowly, and am I going to loose wt after that till I reach the goal wt, or am I stopping. Please tell me. Thank you all. -
Hello, I'm not quite 5 days post op and am doing pretty well with Water and Protein shakes. I've had a little applesauce and some yogurt, and both went down well. I am on full purées, so I know there is more I am able to eat, but I'm really nervous about trying new things. I was thinking about making Eggface's ricotta bake, but is that going to be too acidic with the tomato sauce? Does anyone have any suggestions?
-
So I am now 3 days post op. I had a moment yesterday, while in pain, asking why I did this to myself but today is better. My fluid intake is good and I got to go from clear liquid to full liquid today. I think the additions of soups and yogurt and the like will make it easier for me to handle the next 11 days before moving to pureed foods.

Non sugar dumping syndrome?
aquarius1234 replied to Christina.Rose's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
That's good- I was going to suggest using Greek yogurt instead of mayo. -
I make a big pot of beef chili (with 90% lean grass fed beef, pinto beans, tomatoes, and McCormick seasoning packet) every week and store in 4oz portions with some room left. I eat this chili almost every day with about 3tbsp of Greek yogurt and Sargento reduced fat cheese melted in it. I got the cutest little miniature Dutch oven from home goods and I use that to heat up the chili on the stove. I mentioned tilapia in another post. I was told to choose salmon instead, but the dryness of salmon makes it less tolerable and desirable to eat for me. I like how soft tilapia is and for now that's what I'll eat. I don't like most things, so if I like it I'm sticking to it for now. I don't enjoy any meat except for the ground beef in the chili. I'm also having genoa salami with provolone cheese snacks which I found at Costco and little cheese cubes with nuts and a few grapes as snack. I just added baked ricotta into the routine as well -- I'd never had it before the other day.

Ask the dr for Miralax. I'm a nurse so the infrequent bowel movements stuck out for me first. Haha! Seriously though, you've got to poop more often. I use 4 ounce glass jars (from Walmart, Ball brand) to store the food I eat -- chili almost every day with Greek yogurt (instead of sour cream) and reduced fat cheese melted in it. I only get about 800 calories a day and I'm told that's not enough too, but I'm not working out very much so I'm not burning so much. Even tho it is hard I make myself eat *something* or drink part of a protein shake every 2.5 hours. And I'm told that upping fluid intake can help get you off a weight loss plateau. I'm sorry you're feeling so overwhelmed. I also had my surgery in December. Believe me if you follow the nutritionist recommendations and get more frequent pewps you should be feeling much better and see the right weight loss rate for your body. The weight loss isn't as fast or when you're under 200 ... I'm *almost* under 200 and things have significantly slowed. You've got this.

Non sugar dumping syndrome?
1poundatatime replied to Christina.Rose's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
If it was your first time trying those things, I wonder if it was the volume rather than the food itself? How much did you have? I could only manage 1 oz at first... Have you tried making the tuna salad with plain greek yogurt instead of mayo? That's what I've been doing for the extra protein. It tastes all right. Not quite as good, but a good replacement. -
Surgery on Monday and I'm Having Problems!
bunnyboop posted a topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
My surgery is scheduled for Monday morning -- Band to Bypass. I've had explosive diarrhea on the shakes -- both the whey Protein Shakes and the vegan shakes. The only Protein powder that doesn't seem to both my digestive system is Trader Joe's Pea Protein. I ran out of the TJ Pea Protein 3-days ago and started using the vegan protein powder (recommended by the dietician). For 3-days now, I've been feeling really sick -- upset stomach times ten. No fever or nausea -- it's not a virus. It's that something has disagreed with me in a major way. I feel exhausted and my head feels as though it's sitting in cotton -- I feel spacey. It's from having very little in my stomach -- just some Water and a little bit of plain yogurt today. Tomorrow I start the clear liquid diet. I've spoken to the dietician 3X since this started and she's not concerned. She feels if I go back on the TJ Pea Protein, I should be fine. The physician assistant says that as long as I don't have a virus, I'm good to go. I'm concerned. I don't have a virus -- I'm sure of that. But something is disagreeing with me big time and I'm wondering if it's all the protein? Has anyone else experienced this before? I'm hoping that things settle down when I go on the clear liquid diet tomorrow, but I would think the surgeon would want to see me and check me out given what's going on? Should I be concerned? -
I also eat the special K protein cereal when I'm feeling like I need a change from my usual Greek Yogurt. It fills me up pretty good usually, more so than my yogurt does but I did notice if it's soggier I can eat more.

VET'S FORUM. What the %^&* is going on around here?
BestDayEver replied to LipstickLady's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I'm not a fan of "intuitive eating." I WANT to eat chocolate candy, cake, brownies. I love sweets and eating a high carb diet got me to obesity. I didn't even realize it until I started eating low carb. I'm two years out and to maintain I have to eat mainly veggies, meat and fruit. I eat limited dairy (Greek yogurt or cheese), and grains. I gave up rice, pasta and potatoes and don't miss them. I still track daily and have to exercise. I'm post menopause and hypothyroid. I can't afford to eat intuitively. I never had an eating disorder or needed therapy but understand that others do struggle and encourage those who need help to get it! My morbid obesity was caused primarily by poor food choices, genetics and lack of exercise. The surgery was a godsend for me and I'm grateful every day for this wonderful tool. To the newbies I say: beware of anyone who tells you can eat anything you want, anytime you want. That's a bullshit lie if you want to succeed at losing and then maintaining your weight loss. -
Liquid Diet Struggles
Syaniya replied to kafinator330's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you are a week post sleeve surgery, you are probably cleared for puddings, jello, creamed soups, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese. I was sleeved on 3/31, 1 week today, and I do feel like I am hungry at times. I also dont feel much restriction yet. I can easily eat a 5.3 oz. greek yogurt without a problem. Last night I made Ricotta bake and ate about 5 bites and couldnt eat any more. I try switching it up, between shakes, broths, creamed soups, jello, popsicles, cottage cheese, anything for a change.

3 weeks post op VSG, gaining weight
VSG4Mag replied to j15big's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow! That's crazy. How are you surviving??? I'm 2 weeks out and had 4oz fish, 2 premier protein shakes, a yogurt and 3 oz of cheese today. And drank like 80 oz of water. I haven't had that much at home, I'm at Disney this week and have been going for 8 hours a day at the parks in the heat while pushing 75+ pounds in a stroller. But at home 4-7 oz of fish & 2 shakes is average for me. I try to get at least 70gm protein. -
I was sleeved on 12/6 and I lost 50lbs. I've been the last month 2-3lbs up, 2-3lbs down. I usually eat eggs, cheese and ham or turkey ham for Breakfast, tuna fish for lunch, chicken or beef for dinner (mostly chicken, I do beef once a week) and for Snacks two whey Protein shakes and one yogurt. Sometimes I can fit veggies and sometimes I can't. That depends on my baby stomach everyday Lol Yes I do three Snacks per day. I've being having trouble the last month. I haven't been away from the 215 and is driving me nuts. Im doing insanity now for exercise

First day of pureed food
Navigating the Wilderness replied to newbie123's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I don't use protein shakes very often. For my 10 days of post op I used unjury chocolate splendor and their chicken soup. The vanilla and strawberry were straight ass in my opinion. It got to the point where I was choosing between a shake and Greek yogurt. Yogurt won out each time. If I had to do a shake, it would probably be the unjury chocolate splendor. I hate chocolate, but it was the best at masking the flavor. I used to do the EAS strawberry pre made shakes and they were not bad, but this surgeon wanted unjury only. -
First day of pureed food
Airstream88 replied to newbie123's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Dumping occurs when you eat something with too much sugar or too much fat. You would have had much more severe symptoms such as racing heartbeat, sweating, diarrhea, etc. When I first started eating pureed and then soft foods, some foods would cause me to feel uncomfortable. Sometimes it happens if something isn't moist enough. When I started real food, chicken felt very uncomfortable and I learned to eat it with salsa, hummus or guacamole to moisten it up. I really didn't do well on the pureed phase. I don't like refried beans and couldn't stand the sight of pureed meat. I stuck to yogurt, shakes, unsweetened applesauce and SF pudding mixed with protein powder for the most part. Once on soft foods I did much better. -
I absolutely think it is possible to have true hunger. My solution? I'm only 2 weeks out, but am consuming 1000+ cals. 3 cups of whole or 2% milk, 1 cup of drinkable yogurt, coconut water, protein powders, and even my vitamins have 75cals. I also drink 40oz of water. My skin feels great, I have plenty of energy, and I'm feeling healthy, not pinched and malnourished like I felt on the preop diet. And I am losing weight at an acceptable rate. I'm allowed to start purees, so am adding in cottage cheese and today I'm gonna try tuna. Once I'm getting calories and protein from food, things will shift again.

What foods and ingredients can't you live without?
OutsideMatchInside replied to LadySin's topic in Food and Nutrition
I don't eat yogurt, all of it has too much sugar, the nutritional value doesn't make sense. I will never allow peanut butter back in my house. Too calorie dense, too little nutritional value and too easy to snack on. PB2 is no better it has sugar. I was buying pure peanut butter powder but my local grocery stopped selling it, and I haven't bothered to order more. Coffee ( I live off Coffee) Hot Sauce Penzey's Spices (lots of sugar free high quality spice mixes, most store brands have carbs) Flavor God spices EatMeGuiltFree Brownies (everything else they sell has bad macros I like the blondies) Halo Top Ice, haven't purchased any in about 6 to 9 months but I like it A White fish you like Stevita Stevia in liquid (only sweetener I will use) Water Drops Stevia always keep a protein bar in my purse.
