I had my sleeve 2/23/16 and went on vacation 3/17/16. Eating was an issue! I also got tired more quickly, because I couldn't eat much. I was transitioning to soft food at that time, and it's hard to find things like ricotta cheese with marinara when you go out! Luckily, we rented a condo and I was able to eat things like apple sauce and yogurt, at the rental. My advice would be to push the surgery off until after vacation. Have fun! Eat, drink, etc. and enjoy it. It will not be as fun if you have the surgery before, I guarantee. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

At 3 weeks, I was eating cottage cheese, yogurt, applesauce, well cooked veggies, eggs, cheese and beans. At 3.5 weeks I was also able to add fish and nuts. By 4 weeks, I was eating chicken. I am 4.5 weeks out now, and I no longer need protein shakes. I can meet my daily protein goals by eating all real food. It was the chicken that really gave me a protein boost to get off the shakes. Also, I was told not to worry about calories right now. My focus is 60g of protein, and at least 64oz of water. The protein is no problem for me anymore, but the water is like a full time job trying to get it all in every day! -
Protein recommendations!
krr343 replied to TheRevisionedVagabond's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What works for me is making my own protein shakes with Fairlife milk and protein powder. That way I can add the flavors I like and taste good together. The combination of high protein milk, protein powders and greek yogurt in one shakes gives me almost all the protein I need for an entire day. Also, there is no medical evidence to suggest that you can only digest 30g of protein at a time and even if you could we eat/drink so slow that my one shake takes me through breakfast and lunch. -
Imagine, instead of surgery, your life change is an adoption. You are going to the hospital to pick up a new little baby. Think about that baby and her needs. You want her to grow up strong and healthy. Do you feed her baked potato or french fries? Baked chicken, or fried? Ice cream or greek yogurt? (And the great thing is this baby will do what you tell her to!) Surgery gives you a new chance at life. The baby you are feeding is yourself. Christians experience a spiritual rebirth when they become believers... wls patients get a rebirth of their own. It will be a new day, but it will be up to the patient to make the most of it.

Three weeks to eating anything sounds pretty fast to me. I have clear liaises and protein shakes for three weeks (can add yogurt at start of week 3). Then three weeks of purée/soft protein, then allowed to regular. I agree with Vinasu, take your time, your body will let you know. -
I know what you mean possymoo, I have 2weeks to go as well on clear liquids and protein shakes only, but be strong we can do this! I've been freezing shakes, then blending them to make smoothies which has helped. I also checked with my nut today who is letting me add in some yogurt next Thursday? Check with yours to see if they have other ideas as well. Be strong, we got this!

Hello all! 4 days out from my surgery and feeling well! The first two days were rough, but now I'm feeling excited and so good I need to remind myself lot rest. I've tried Greek yogurt and pudding, but it seems like every time I eat I feel like I have this burp bubble in the chest. Am I eating to fast? Too much? Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

Stage 2 -One solid meal replacement. (Question)
Dashofpixiedust8 replied to crivera's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It is odd that each surgeon has different diets after surgery. At 2 weeks after surgery I was JUST starting pureed diet. If you are concerned I suggest you eat something soft like eggs, refried Beans, greek yogurt, fish, or making chicken and pureeing it with some broth, sauce, or milk. If you don't feel comfortable then don't eat something so solid. It is suggested to follow your surgeons plan but but I feel like thats more the rule for when you want to move faster than their plan, if you want to move slower that is up to you! -
Calories counts? or just let your body tell you?
mrssoupmix posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good Morning all. I am almost 5 months post op (20 weeks). I have lost 69 pounds. But two weeks ago the weight just haulted. HAULTED. I have had stalls before (seemingly about every 3 weeks) but this one is sticking solidly. I have changed two things: 1) my husband and I joined the local gym three weeks ago. I am doing cardio and light weights (3X a week) with many reps (trying to get this body a little toned, and help with skin sags) and 2) I have noticed that my hunger has returned. I am consuming at least 1000 calories a day. Sticking to high Protein choices (yogurt, string cheese, HB egg, Protein Bar, etc) but the calories add up fast! So I am wondering.. do you all count calories? or just let your body direct you? I was astonished, when I started using My Fitness Pal, how many calories I was actually consuming. I would have guessed 400-500 per day, but I am eating twice that! I am getting concerned that my sleeve is done helping me, and I am on my own now. And I am finding myself more hungry than I have been in the last five months. Anyone have some words of advice? encouragment? I know that working out will increase hunger, but I kind of thought the surgery would curb that, at least for a little while longer. -
Im 9 days post op. My cravings have NOT gone away. When I drink my shake or eat my yogurt, my restriction does not kick in until after its too late so I have to portion control myself. And then I still experience cravings for real food [emoji22]

Honestly did anyone CHEAT on their liquid diet and was still able to get the sleeve done?
SLIMPICKENS55 replied to Jahni~n~JahmirMOM's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I ate a couple pieces of celery today because I was really munchy and I looked on line and I said no celery before surgery. So I called the coordinator of the hospital and she told me no more celery but I would be OK for surgery. She said surgery did not break down really well in your stomach. So no more celery for me. But I did fine that Dannon yogurt 80 cal yogurt's were the bomb. Banana cream excellent, strawberry cheesecake was great haven't tried much more. They are 12 g of protein and 8 to 9 g of carbs Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
9 days (02/16/17) until Lower Body Lift - advise?
MxKitty replied to MxKitty's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I'm pretty much freaking out today but trying to keep my focus on work to get through it... needed a break so here I am. I had my pre-op appointment yesterday and paid my fees in advance. I learned how my pain pump will work and how to remove it myself on Sunday (ewwww) and then I can take a shower!! I also found out I'll have at least 2 but up to 6 JP drains when I wake up and how to drain, track the drainage and take care of them (do your bulbs hang low, can you swing 'em too and fro?). I ordered a Faja compression garment and it got here today, All my Rx are filled and I start my antibiotics tonight. The fridge is full of high Protein triple zero yogurt, Fairlife high protein milk and I have several flavors of Inspire protein powders all within reach of my Nutri-bullet so I can really dig in and up the protein to help my body heal its self as much as possible. I'm going to have my wife take some dreaded before pictures of me tonight as well as take some measurements so I have something to look at to make me feel better when I'm in pain over the next few weeks... I have some comfy pink button down PJs and bunny slippers all ready for my trip to the hospital in the morning (I use humor to deal with anxiety can ya tell?), I'm very lucky to also have a friend that is an ICU nurse and she is going to stay at the hospital with me tomorrow night since my wife will need to be home with our 5 year old. So I think I'm ready. Bring on the list: Lower Transverse Body Lift Full Extensive Abdominoplasty Standard Scar Revision (my gastric was in 2002 OPEN RNY so my scar is pretty ugly) Liposuction (if needed) -
Hi jabs i will be 3 years out on May 15th, my new birthday, wish it was 35 years. as of today I'm 97 lbs lighter. Never had any regrets, not an instant. Nothing I can't eat or drink, except for extremely sweets, i can only have one [/url]chocolate, not half a box. i was pre diabetic, needed a knee replacement but now no problems with my knee and i have a clean bill of health. My favorite thing is being able to cross my legs in addition to wearing flattering clothes. Be sure to get your Protein or you may risk anemia so I have a Protein Drink each day, i can only palate Premier Protein at 160 cal and 30 grams of protein. You can also eat greek yogurt at 12g and you will have a good head start. I don't worry about calories anymore. if i feel like eating anything i go for it but in very small quantities, kids meals are too much but the toys are cool. I give them to the food bank. I love Soups but still hates salads. by the way if you want to fell full for free, have a free meal by eating samples at costco I'm usually full before the lasts samples. Remember, liquids first but you will learn. Sometime my eyes are bigger than my stomach but my stomach always wins. I usually share with whoever i am eating with or order an appetizer which is always too much so i eat lots of leftover. If you like to drink alcohol, be careful you get drunk real fast on very little and sober up kind of fast. I no longer like wine just light beer but very occasionally now as i was developing a habit. I now have tea in the evening as i realized i was just thirsty, i don't like Water. My only comp;location is eosophagal cramps that resemble a heart attack its noes,let common, the first time it happened i was at a hotel and had to call the emergency. The EMT tested me gave may an EKG and my heart was fine, i took a couple of Tums and it went away. I was lucky to have a dr who recognized the condition right away soI now i take an omapremazole every day, i tried nexium but it doesn't work for me. Don't expect to look great naked, actually pretty creepy but i don't want plastic surgery at my age and except for my hubby, nobody else sees me that way. I have a wonderful husband who want to see me healthy and happy. i do look great in jeans. congratulation on your decision to live longer

5.5 weeks out and all of a sudden full feeling is gone!!?!
Armygalbonnie replied to carrion's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is all normal. The swelling has subsided. Like mentioned above, yogurt will go down easily. That's why it is often allowed during the liquid phase. Once you start eating more solid foods, you will feel the restriction more. Also, some days you will feel fuller quicker than others. I will measure out 3 oz of meat. Some days I can eat all of it and think I could probably eat more. Other days I can't even eat 2 oz. This is why I measure everything I eat! When I get too full or eat too quickly, I always get the hiccups. I can use my sleeve as a guide most of the time, but not all of the time. Measure, measure, measure. -

Berry78 replied to carrion's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If the change was sudden (overnight), you might mention it to your doc. And if it sounds normal to them, then that is great! Yogurt and liquids are supposed to go down smoothly. The restriction should be felt again when eating solids (presumably 8 weeks out). This is why they want you eating your meals and drinking only zero calorie beverages in maintenance. -
I'm so sorry. Take the meds religiously. They tried to get mine to heal for 6 weeks before surgery was the plan. The constant contracting pain is the hardest part for me. And I struggle to eat anything and when it started at 2 month post op I was doing great. I got to where I could eat anything with no issues. I'm living of milk with protein powder and yogurt now :/ Good luck. Feel free to pm me! My bypass revision is scheduled for Monday 2/20.

Nausea and no eating or drinking...
mizelph replied to LykaCory's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I use to be a Very heavy drinker (water). Now it takes me all day to get 12-16 oz of fluids! I can eat a tiny bit each day, but fluids?! I'm struggling! I'm having to force everything. I eat half a yogurt, and I'm full until lunch time! When I'm full I can't even drink. I'm dizzy all the time! Just by bending to pick something up I get dizzy. Lack of nutrition and dehydration? That's what I'm thinking. I'm regretting this whole thing! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
5.5 weeks out and all of a sudden full feeling is gone!!?!
carrion posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
this is so strange. I'm 5.5 weeks out and lost just under 40 pounds. I was eating about 4 oz per meal as I began my soft food diet last week. I ate slowly and definitely got that feeling of when was full and often didn't finish my meal or take a bit longer to finish it. Yesterday, I ate a Greek yogurt and realized I ate 5oz with no problems. No full feeling. huh Today, all my meals have been the same way. Even drinking Water. That funny feeling in my stomach to tell me I'm full is gone. If I hadn't measured out my portion, I probably could have eaten more? I also noticed that I would only be able to finish half a small cup of coffee and today and I could drink all of it with no physical signal/issues. Can even drink water more easily. I did increase my water intake quite a bit b.c of severe constipation and Dr. told me to increase it. I find this so strange. Anyone else experience this? I actually liked the physical sensation of feeling super full. It was a good signal for me. Can a stomach suddenly stretch out? -
My date in feb 27th. I started my diet yesterday , protein drink for breakfast and lunch and meal for dinner.. I found myself hungry yesterday after lunch so I had a celery stick and some hummus. Dinner was grilled wings and broccoli. Before deb I got lunch and had yogurt

Introduction to new "foods"
mbuczkowski replied to mbuczkowski's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I didn't finish the shake by 2 oz. For lunch I pulled out the yogurt mixture I made. It took about 1.5 hours to get 8oz. But the stomach was ok with it! Tonight will be cream of chicken soup. -
How are you eating at 7 months out ?
Candygyrl replied to biglady904's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I am at 7 mos. My nutritionist gave me the indication I could eat what I wanted as well. Within reason of course. She provided me with a list of typical fast food restaurants and food suggestions including their calorie content, Protein etc. She reinforced the importance of pairing my carbs with a protein and encouraged whole grains whenever possible. It really does depend on your goals. I am trying to slow my weight loss therefore, I would allow myself a Taco if I want one. I have eaten tacos. I can usually only eat 1. Preferrably I make my own. I use the tortilla shell but I may use ground turkey, extra veggies (lettuce/tomato), a little cheese and sour cream. Then that would be it. I wouldn't have another taco for weeks if I didn't think about it. I think about what I've eaten up to this point. I feel that for the most part I've developed some pretty good habits so I try to stay on track with those principles. Eating every 3 -4 hours. Protein first, then incorporate veggies and fruits throughout the day and in between meals along with other snack ideas like nuts, cheese, yogurt. Along with getting in daily fluids. No meals after 7 except special occasions which fall every blue moon. I still can't eat very much and I don't try to. If I was only able to eat a portion of my salmon and broccoli, I put it away and have it during another meal. I don't try to wait 45 min- 1hr and then finish it off. I can see people getting in trouble this way. it can lead to overeating. Walk away, wait 3-4 hours have it for dinner.
