6 days post op and depressed
JerseyJules replied to The thinner me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I progressed to soft foods and have been eating tuna,salmon,yogurt,cottage cheese and my favorite now,Humus!! I havent had any issues with anything I have eaten yet, knock on wood. I even tried 2 shrimp the other day with my salmon. It is amazing how small of portions you can eat and how fast you feel full like you ate a huge meal. The soft foods phase has made me feel 100% normal again thankful. -

How to tell when I'm full?
orionburn replied to Maleficent's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Liquids pass through the stomach fairly fast, as do yogurts, so it's hard to get a full feeling. Not saying it isn't possible, but it's much more difficult. Even though yogurts are thicker when they're cold it doesn't take long to thin out once it's in your stomach. I never had any full sensations while on the liquid phase. When you get to the pureed stage you'll likely start to notice it. My first time of feeling full was when I tried a scrambled egg. I got about 3/4 of the way through it and that's all I could do. What I've noticed now at 8 weeks out (for me anyway) is that there is a difference in that full feeling. It's not a "Thanksgiving full" feeling of realizing you ate too much. Now eating too fast or taking too big of a bite can make you feel like crap. Just remember to measure out your portions and take your time eating once you get there. It can be frustrating but making your early meals last 15-30 minutes helps out tremendously. Btw...welcome to the site. Good luck on your journey! -
I am 7 days post op and I've been doing great with my diet of liquids but I'm curious what full feels like. I have yet to feel hunger so I am eating because I need to. I haven't eaten until I feel pain or discomfort so I'm starting to get concerned I'm not noticing it. What did full feel like to you this early on? I eat (drink rather) my broths and such very slowly and eat my Greek yogurt very slowly but I don't feel anything.

Ok so I've been searching and googling and scanning forums and I know alllllll about the whole head hunger vs. real hunger vs. stomach acid but really what the heck is going on here? I went from feeling nausea almost all day to severe hunger pains and cramping at night to feeling those pains several times a day after I haven't eaten anything for several hrs. I'm at a loss and SUPER frustrated. My biggest issue pre surgery was saving most of my calories for the nighttime hunger I would get. And when I tried dieting I always failed because I would follow a sensible eating plan all day then in the evening I'd start picking so I wouldn't go to bed hungry and anxious. Now 6 days post op I was feeling I was eating more than the average sleever so I tracked my food today. I ate 97 grams of protein and 1160 calories today!! I ate over the course of the day, drank my water requirements and STILL felt so hungry and uncomfortable to go to bed that I just had some smooth broccoli cheddar soup to put something in my growling ravenous stomach. I'm so aggravated, I would almost rather feel nauseous than deal with this. I heard once we move to denser proteins there will be more restriction but I feel like a serious outlier taking in as much as I am on full liquids. This is not normal right? I'll be seeing dr this week and dreading getting weighed as I feel like I'm eating more than I was before surgery. **full liquids include (and I've had all of these options): protein shakes, sf jello/pudding, sf popsicles, broth, smooth/strained soup, unsweetened applesauce, plain or no sugar added greek yogurt. Theres also more sf beverage options but I abstain because of taste and rebound hunger/cravings.

Im still preop, scheduled for 3/31, but I have my diet for the first 2 months already. From 2 days postop i can have yogurt, puddings, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese up until my 2 week appt. I also can have my Protein shakes, broth, crystal light, sugar free popsicles, etc..

You should not be having puréed foods 8 days out. Look at web site below it's a great guide & tells you what to eat. I never ate puréed good, always mashed to applesauce consistency. At this stage you should be having yogurt, protein drinks etc. once you find your rhythm you'll be ok. I went for almost 2 months before anything tasted good. It was really tough time but you will get thru it. Just remember baby steps! I'm 16 weeks out since my bypass & hit the 50lb mark! Good luck, stay positive & walk, walk walk!! https://www.tuftsmedicalcenter.org/~/media/Brochures/TuftsMC/Patient Care Services/Departments and Services/Weight and Wellness Center/GBP Diet Manual12611.ashx

Is it just me or does anyone else have "hollow" days?
AGreenEyedWolf posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I will be 8 weeks post-op tomorrow. I have been released to exercise every other day and to eat a full, regular diet. I work out every other day on a Total Gym and I walk 5 miles a day. I am still very careful not to eat certain things... I avoid soft, doughy breads... so I don't eat sandwiches or wraps or burgers, etc... I also don't eat ground beef, nuts, popcorn, chips, stringy fruits or veggies, raw fruits or veggies, salads, corn, or anything breaded/battered or fried etc. What I do eat is almost entirely: toasted bread with Peanut Butter, scrambled eggs, cooked onions, bell peppers, & mushrooms, with grilled chicken or steak, oven roasted pork loin on occasion, and sometimes mashed potatoes or cooked green Beans. I also eat wheat crackers, soft, spreadable cheeses, yogurt, sugar free popsicles, and sometimes I try to stave off my hunger with Protein shakes. I drink Water, Gatorade, and Vitamin water and occasionally lifewater... but NEVER soda or anything like that. Yes, I said HUNGER... real, honest to goodness hunger AND head hunger AND cravings hunger... because I have almost NO restriction unless I eat too much too fast. If I take my time I feel like I can eat almost anything I want to in whatever quantity I want - or so I assume, I don't push the issue of force it or over eat on purpose... BUT it feels like I could if I wanted to and that worries me because sometimes I have "hollow days" - days where NOTHING I eat makes me feel full or satisfied and I am CRAVING something I can neither name nor define. These days there is nothing I can do to make myself stop stalking into the kitchen every 10 minutes looking to graze. I try to make the choices I make during these hollow days something that isn't bad for me - sugar free popsicles... fruit... that sort of thing... but sometimes I am giving in to 5 or 6 club crackers... half a dark chocolate candy bar... ice cream... and it's almost impossible to stop, no matter how much I realize I shouldn't be doing it. I have been stuck at this same weight for 2 weeks - gaining and losing the same pound over and over again by ounces every day. Today I FINALLY got past that number and went one pound down... but I had a hollow day today and I fear the scale tomorrow morning already :-( Is it just me or does anyone else have this issue already? I hear people say a couple of YEARS out from surgery this happens and they need to do a "reset" and try to get back on track but I am only 2 months out... this shouldn't be happening to me, should it?? -
Once I booked my surgery, the nutrition expected me to start a low carb, high protein diet. So I had a month of that before starting the pre-op liquid. I also start tracking every bite that went into my mouth. Like the above poster, I am very grateful for that time. It allowed me to take a hard look at what I was eating and work out what life will be like long term. I cut out sugar, rice, pasta, bread, potatoes... The carbs I did eat where either from fruits (limited), vegetables, or dairy. I learned that by bumping up my protein, I don't miss the carbs! If I were in your shoes, I would just start making small daily changes. Giving up soda is awesome! Maybe work on your snacks next? Instead of a cereal or granola bar, how about a piece of fruit and some nuts? Or veggies and dip or hummus? Cottage cheese? Hard boiled egg? Wasa crackers are fairly low carb (for a cracker) and might help you slowly limit the carbs. I like them with laughing cow spreadable cheese and antipasto, or tuna or avocado. Try looking for a greek yogurt instead of a sugary brand. Focus on making the small changes consistently and you'll get there! And definitely make the most of the time you have to start creating that new relationship with food! Try not to let other get you down and keep your chin up! You can do this!!

I HAVE made small changes. I no longer drink soda (I used to drink diet coke) I have started drinking Raspberry iced tea, and mixing it with 1/2 water. I have cut down my serving sizes. But, carbs STILL make up about 90% of my diet. I am going to have to find alternatives to them. Like, what to eat for breakfast? I eat 2 waffles everyday. Am snack, a cereal bar or granola bar. Lunch, string cheese, greek yogurt and a blueberry bagel. Dinner...thats my biggest problem....pizza,pasta,cereal,sandwiches etc. I am going to research things that are low carb, and start the changes right away!!!

What tasty things do you guys blend in with your protein shakes?
orionburn replied to Finding_Stacy's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I added in some Greek yogurt from time to time given its carb content is likely lower than most fruits. Depending on the amount of protein in your shake and/or if you are using milk it might be overkill on the protein in a single serving. -
I am only aloud protein shakes, Greek yogurt, and crystal light for my two liquid diet, and I was told no coffee about 3 months ago. Maybe it's different pending on the person?
-
Not a yogurt answer, but if you freeze a cup of pudding its like gelato/heaven.....to me!
-
At that stage, you are just begging for dumping syndrome with frozen yogurt. I have it every once in a while now and it can still give me the sweats. My preferred dessert substitute is Fage plain yogurt with Torani syrup. There are tons of the to choose from. Right now my favorite is coffee liqueur, but in the past it was salted caramel. Mix a teaspoon of that with a few ounces Fage and then stick it in the freezer. Depending on how good your freezer is, you can have decadent "frozen yogurt" in about 30 minutes.

Are you pre or post op? Just curious, why that calorie range? The premier protein drinks sit well with me. Isopure unflavored too. Dannon light and fit yogurt or the oikos triple zero. Some places have a carb control yogurt that a lot of people like too. Low fat cheese. Lean meats like another person suggested. I also like quest protein bars.

5 months out what is your food intake like?
migalo replied to carlacv's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Great stuff from all of you, congrats and continue the good work. I'm a few days shy of 6 months out and I try to just listen to stomach, whats left of it. I've stopped weighing my food because rarely could I eat it all. That being said, some days it seems I can eat a fair amount while others, I get full after a half bowl of soup. Beef, chicken, fish, i can barely eat 3oz. It is easier for me to eat veggies. Also, I know its frowned upon but it is what it is, I have an easier time getting portions in with a piece of bread. Lately, my lunch is half a ham and cheese sandwich on good bread, with good quality meats and cheeses. I always end up throwing it out with 2-3 bites left. I pretty much have switched to a european style diet. No processed foods, but I am OK with a small good piece of crusty bread, lots of olive oils, good fresh vegetables. I drink lots of water throughout the day. I do seem to eat several very small meals per day and the free yogurts at work are a regular go to. I will also slice half a banana with some peanut butter as a sweet treat. I will keep focusing and try to listen to my stomach. I eat slow and some meals it seems like I can eat a lot, at least for the new me, while other meals, I am done after just a few bites. There is no rhyme or reason that I have noticed yet. It sucks when you order an expensive meal and you feel hungry to have your stomach tell you, nope...your done, after just a few bites. I'm down 117 lbs or so to 263 which is way ahead of where I thought I'd be. My SW was 359 and HW at start of liquid diet was 380. My goal weight is 225. Not too shabby. Thankful for my new found health. I'm off blood pressure meds and no more sleep apnea. In fact, my wife says I don't even snore.- 7 replies

Frozen yogurt is not a good choice. The carbs and sugar are going to impede weight loss, and there is no protein in it. Protein and water should be your main focus right now.

Struggling with post op diet!
Deactivatedfatgal replied to Lizzyfromnapa's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 7 days out and won't start puréed stage till Monday. I can honestly say I've gotten very little protein in. I have to find a way to change it BUT it's super difficult because I hate the taste of protein drinks and the Greek yogurt makes me want to throw up. Sugar free popsickles mixed with water and ice has been my go to but I need to do better -
My doctor says no jello, yogurt or pudding.....i can only have protein shakes, crystal light, broth, sugar free popsicles and soups that go through a strainer
-
My nutritionist told me eating sugar free jello & pudding helps with that hungry feeling. Also, yogurt & Fat Free or 1% milk with protein. Also, sugar free popsicles , cut them up in cubes & chew them. When I went through liquids only fat free cream of chicken with protein helped me with hunger since it's savory. I got tired of the sweet stuff. Height: 5'0" Weight for WLS consultation: 216 lbs. Surgery date: 2/13/17 Goal: -71 lbs for healthy BMI (about 145 lbs). Current weight: 180.8 My profile picture is not me. It's my "FITspiration" body.

Struggling with post op diet!
Lizzyfromnapa posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery was last Tuesday (6 days ago). I'm still on stage 3 (water, bean Soups, yogurt, and Protein shakes). At this point I'm still unable to eat more than 3-4 bites of anything without getting the chest pain as if I'm eating fast, but I know I'm not. It's becoming impossible to get the required 60g Of protein and 64 oz of water/fluids. The only way is to have 2 ENTIRE shakes (I can drink 1/4 and it takes me 45 mins) and work on Water ALL day! Ugggh. Seems like a full time job and im failing big time. Any suggestions?? Please tell me this doesn't last long🙁 -
Sugar free frozen yogurt
-
Frozen yogurt is nothing like regular yogurt. Tons of sugar/carbs...
-
Ok I'm 2 weeks and 2 days out!!!! YAY!! I just wanted to know if I could have frozen yogurt since I can have yogurt!? A bunch of my friends are trying to get in the swing with me and we usually do ice cream but we want to sub it for Fat free Frozen Yogurt. Thanks for your time!!!
