Maybe not for everyone, but when I called doc he said to have start with some drinkable yogurt. He was thinking hunger pains, and it was. No probs since adding a thicker liquid. Just a thought.

think of the acronym HOPE. high fiber...35grams daily omega 3 2grams daily probotics...6 billion daily enzymes 1 with every meal i eat the new oatmeal that has high fiber. plus i eat a salad everday. try yogurt without sugar for probotics. flax seed oil and salmon for good fats. you can buy papaya enzymes at health food store. our bodies as we age dont make enough digestive enzymes. we need amylase to break down fats. protease and amylase for starches . check the label. the best way to get enzymes is live foods. apples and berries etc..... try to drink protein shakes. you need 60 grams of protein. if you work out a lot you need more. also my doctor, dr. romero has me take l-cartanine. an amino acid that helps to metabolize fats . drink lots of water. if you take a fiber suppliment dont use psyllium. use oat bran . all organic if you can too. i eat only when im hungry. i have to eat really slow. i eat a lot of fish and salad. i try not to eat junk , but i have had a bit of ice cream too, good luck.

Back from Revision Surgery

Question for those of you recently banded: Do any of you remember if Swiss Miss chocolate mix (that you mix with water) is allowed the first few days? I had some today (my third day) and I am wondering if that's alright. My first band doctor said it was and I can't get a hold of the nutritionist until Monday, so I thought I'd see what you all have to say here. Hello Mae, I was also banded by Doctor Ortiz on 7-29-05 and as for the chocolate I was told nothing but clear liquids. And on the Eight day I could add Yogurt. Did you have to pay the full price for getting rebanded? Hope this helps. Eddra -
Just curious -- did you have a pre-op liquid diet? My doctor had me do a low-carb liquid diet for 2 weeks before surgery and it really helped me transition into the post-surgery diet. One trick I've been doing is doubling up on Protein in the same amount of Water (or milk if you like that yucky stuff :thumbup:. It gives you more protein (which is more filling than broths and such) and usually more flavor. I do the unjury chocolate with a packet of Splenda. It tastes so much better because it tastes more chocolatey. I just started the mushy phase, which according to my doctor is the stage that includes yogurt, cottage cheese, cream soups and such. Isn't it odd how every doctor seems to have their own plan? Good luck!

What kind of soups are you guys eating ??
TiffanyP replied to formerfatchick's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Split Pea is a Fav - but not for most people. Progresso Tomato Basil is very good. Old fashioned Campbell's Tomato is a standard. Gazpacho - I make a very chunky version, but blended it for a better tasting and thicker V-8 type deal. Cold Cucumber - Yummy. Made the old Cabbage soup - blended - looks gross but tastes good. Lentil is very good. Sweet potato - It was good - the whole 3 spoonfuls i got before it was consumed by others. Butternut Squash w a swirl of greek yogurt. I am going to make taco soup - blended - can't imagine that it is going to look pretty, but flavor wise I think it will rock. Italian tortellini - it is basically an Italian Minestrone with tortellini in it, that should be good too. I love to cook, and I have been cooking since day 3 and the only thing I have made for the family that I have even wanted to have is a slice of cucumber and onion that I pickled in vinegar/sugar. I am handling all the food prep and eating with other much better than I had expected to. Good Luck! -
Sleeve a week ago Thursday 1/8/15. I see food and want to eat it but don't . I get full easy about 3-4 OZ of Protein shake or cottage cheese or Greek plain yogurt ...

Ah! Well, I just made it much harder than needed. :h Is there a way you can adjust your nutrition requirements??? I want to up my protein and sugar. I'm tired of seeing red for eating fruit and Greek yogurt!

Suggestions for a care/starter package?
Baconville replied to SouthernFriedPugs's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Protein shakes are critical, especially in the early weeks. I use Premier Protein shakes that you can get at Sam's Club. I like the chocolate. I did use a powder at the beginning, but never really liked it. My clinic gave me some samples, I would try those, because the powders are expensive and if she doesn't like them, it's a waste. Low fat Greek Yogurt and low fat mozzarella string cheese were staples in the first weeks. Also canned tuna and canned chicken. A small blender is nice, but you only really use it the first two weeks, or at least I did. Hope that helps. Carol. RNY on 6/25/13. -
I am SO disappointed in myself. Self-sabotage post-op
dms75 replied to MoominMan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 11 months out of sleeve surgery. I came to build a routine in what I eat, and I absolutely enjoy every meal. Even if it's exactly the same as yesterday. I love it. Here's what I eat in a day (and the day after, and the one after.... 🙂 Breakfast: 2 eggs, 4 oz of diced lean ham (pork or turkey, or a turkey patty), 1 oz leek, 1 oz sweet peppers, all scrambled together. Add 6-8 cherry tomatoes and an espresso with 1 oz of 2% milk. Lunch: 5 oz of lean meat (chicken breast, pork loin, beef sirloin) grilled or pan seared, 2 cups of shredded fresh cabbage, one tablespoon of light mayonnaise Dinner: 5 oz of fish (cod, mahi, salmon, tuna, shrimp) and 1 cup of sliced zucchini or snap peas, all pan seared together, plus one Danon Light&Fit yogurt. That's about 1100 calories a day. Throw in the occasional apple or cup of berries, and it's 1200 calories, all in. And that's ALL I've been eating for the last 10 months. The only variation is the type of meat or fish I have. Or what flavor yogurt I choose. I'm not bored, and I look forward to every meal. It makes it easy to shop for and cook. Do yourself a huge favour and throw away ALL the crisps, cakes and any other greasy or sugary snacks you may have in the house. Then don't buy them again. If you really must snack, bite into an apple, or chew on a carrot. It keeps the mouth busy, without adding much caloric content. Oh, and I drink a gallon of water a day, to stave off constipation. Hang in there, believe in yourself, and maybe talk to a therapist or a friend about it. -

MG1776 replied to morenita2013's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Had my sleeve one week ago today and feel great. Each day is getting better. I have no problems getting my fluids in, and mixing up my full fluids to keep it interesting with creamed Soups, yogurt, etc. Protein Shakes are getting easier to tolerate each day as well. On day of surgery, I was 283.1, and this morning I was 266.6! Looking forward to continuing the journey -
Week 1 post op but can stomach solids...
ChooChi73 replied to Aimee-Belle's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My sugeoua off said Clear liquids for 5 days post op then move to solid liquids (creamed Soup no chunks, hummus, very runny cream of wheat, milk, low fat cottage cheese, low fat yogurt, Protein shakes) do that for 14 days, then move to pureed food for 14 days. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using the BariatricPal App -
You truly can puree anything. I blended soup, eggs, and chili. I did not blend cottage cheese because it kind of sounded gross. Yogurt is a good staple too...greek. I returned to work at 3 weeks and was on pureed foods. I ate oatmeal for bfast and mostly soups for lunch. Dinner...I just blended whatever we were having or had blended soup. I did do hummus a couple of times, as well as pintos & cheese (from taco bell) when we were out and about and needed to eat.

Be sure you are getting enough calories. This is vey common. We are trying to be so careful and that is awesome, but if you are not getting your recommened calories you will stop losing. This is very frustrating. Breakfast should consist of protein and a carb. Mashed potatoes have been an easy food for me, just be careful with it. Carbs make you crave more carbs. Make sure that protein is your main dish for each meal. Be careful with yogurts. There are some out there that are very high in sugar count. I found Carb Master at Kroger. Lots of good protein, taste great and low calories. If yogurt is all you are having for breakfast add granola or nuts to it. Cheese is easy as it can melt on in your mouth some and is a great soft food and protein. Can you do eggs? I do scrambled eggs and it is a "go to " for me as well. If you are not calculating your calories, start now. At least for a few weeks to see that you getting enough calories. I can almost bet you are not. Also you are woeking out every day. That will add weight. So you must put enough calories in if you are working out. I hope you took your measurements. When you are not losing pounds, you could be losing inches. I HIGHLY recommend taking measurements once a month. I only lost 2 pounds one month and I was so discouraged, when I took my measurements I had lost over 11 inches off of my body. Suddenly I was not discouraged anymore. To tone cost pounds so make sure you are getting enought food in. Make sure it is healthy foods and it will take you far. I wish you the best of luck and loojk forward to hearing of your success.

Wow - -this is a really old post I found! But it seems to be a common problem with lap band patients. I belch and fart from dusk to dawn. I am 5 months post op and it isn't getting any better. It actually got REALLY bad after my 2nd fill. Anybody found anything to help stop these pesky problems? I am not consuming milk - -only soy and greek yogurt so it shouldn't be lactose intolerance. The belching and passing of gas is OUT OF CONTROL!!! (LOL)

I just got back from having an upper GI series. I was surprised to see that my stomach had stretched, the radiologist said it did not look like I had a sleeve surgery but it didn't look as big as I thought a normal stomach should be. Usually a microwavable meal for one will last me for 2 meals. Pre-surgery I could eat 3 bagels now I eat half of one of those very thin bagels so I can't believe the stomach went back to the same size but it has gotten bigger and there are times I do surprise myself and eat more then I should. I crave a frozen yogurt pop and most people would eat one and sometimes I can still eat three. the point I want to make is when I first started having problems with the craving of food in that first year I did not go back to the doctor I felt ashamed and that was the beginning of the problems with the overeating. I also have a fairly large hiatal hernia. I hope the doctor will be doing the bypass to stop the severe reflux as I mentioned before and I wouldn't mind losing 30 pounds. I would be very willing to talk to someone email or even if it can be done on the phone if you're having problems like I am or if you are able to give me support. Because support is one of the most important things to have when you're having these surgeries. Good luck to all of you.

The Greek yogurt pops are at my publix but I know fresh market has a ton of flavors
-
I think you'll feel better at purée stage. Just hang in there little longer. Can you do Jello yogurt, etc? -
Unflavored Isopure protein powder sprinkled on everything, especially stirred in my yogurt. No flavor and no grot, stir it in well and you won't even know it's there. Big help in increasing protein intake. ????

The second most painful experience of my life..omg...this was bad
CowgirlJane replied to CowgirlJane's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
@@CBT on Friday when I met the urologist I had minimal pain, not needing pain meds, he told me 80 percent chance it would pass fine by itself. Also told me I had been through the worst of the pain. The laser blast thing is invasive...sedated, done in a hospital setting so it was a calculated risk to just give it time. He did allow a higher dose of Percaset so I am better now - tho still in pain. It's almost 230 and I ate a few bites of yogurt before feeling pukey so that'd better....didn't brave the IB yet for the day. My tummy males me.look about 4 months pregnant Loopy too Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using the BariatricPal App -
2 Weeks Post Op and I am hungry!
FishingNurse replied to MK1986's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
at 2 weeks: -cream of wheat made with milk- kinda of thin. There is Protein in it! -pushed up cottage cheese - soft cheese like babybel- let is sit at room temp for about 10 mins. first they melt in your mouth. -greek yogurt. -if you can tolerate them refried Beans. with a little sour cream. Thats what I lived off of from 2 weeks to 1 month -
Chicken broth and various cream soups - just don't get the soup to boiling or it will turn into a gooey thick mess. Also with Crystal light, milk and juices. I've even added it to my yogurt and apple sauce. Unfortunately, I've got a full six weeks of full liquid diet so I've not been able to experiment much. The sky is the limit though and the powder is really quite easy to work with and mixes well with almost zero taste added.

broth, sugar free jello, yogurt, applesauce and cream of wheat were my staples when I was on liquids. I did eat some really thin tomato soup and V8 juice occasionally.
