Post op shopping list !
pixystix0116 replied to Sugarnspice's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For the Clear liquids post op my list was basically, sugar free flavoring for Water, chicken, beef, and veggie broth, sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jello. Once I was on full liquids I added premier Protein shakes, okinos zero vanilla yogurt, sugar free pudding, and light or low sodium cream of chicken and cream of mushroom Soup (strained so no chunks passed my lips) diet Splash juice and isopure unflavored Protein Powder. I tried to put some in almost everything i put in my mouth. -

I haven't hit the puréed diet part yet. I still have 10 more days. I am soooo looking forward to it. My nutritionist said eggs are fine but for some reason if you scramble them patients tend not to do well with them. Doesn't know why and thinks possibly when you whip them they may have too much air in them? So she recommends cooking them a different way. As for me?...I'm looking forward to some Greek yogurt! ? -

Soups 2 wks post op
mylighthouse replied to nruetze10's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I was on full liquids, I could not have lentil soup. In fact, all Soups had to be strained, making sure that I didn't have any pieces of food in it. Lentils would be way to hard on your stomach right now. You have to protect your stomach, so please make sure that you are doing full liquids only. Cream soups, broth, yogurt, sugar free pudding, sugar free Jello were all considered acceptable on my full liquids phase. -

8 1/2 months out...
Dashofpixiedust8 replied to Dashofpixiedust8's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
@Daja I eat around 1200 calories a day. I have not cut out carbs but I do focus more on protein. I use a lot of weight watcher recipes and also have Greek yogurt and protein shakes. My surgeon said I was actually getting TOO MUCH protein so I have cut out most protein bars but keep one with me at all times for emergencies so I don't get fast food or something if I end out being out during a meal. I have started going to the YMCA only recently because I had a lot of complications after surgery and wasn't really able to exercise much besides walking. I do about 30-45 minutes of cardio 3-4 times a week. Then I do the weight machines twice a week (I separate out my upper and lower body and do each twice a week). My weight loss really ranges. Sometimes I lose nothing for weeks or I lose 10 pounds in a week. In the past 5 days I've lost 6 pounds. But the week before I lost nothing. -
How did you get over your addiction?
Guest replied to JerseyJules's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I talked to the nutritionist and the dr. I have followed all instructions since pre-op to a a T. I have never even liked rice before this, I know they told us we can get some rice crackers at some level (in my head they are the Chinese kind--not sure cuz I wasn't planning on getting). I think because there was nothing I felt like eating, they said 2 T or so, not a problem. Well, that's probably more than I had. Today I threw away 1/2 eaten containers of yogurt, cottage cheese, almost a whole container of avocado, some Ricotta Bake (read about recipe---people love this), green Beans ---those gag me now. Out of the 4 weeks I have spent almost 2 weeks (I know, TMI---but had the big D, whispering Diarrhea). I haven't been sick in almost 25 years, and this has taken it's toll on me. I was hoping the little bit of rice would stop losing weight cuz of the carbs, but nope lost another pound. I was so dehydrated I thought about going to dr. or urgent care, but finally no fever today. I didn't eat processed foods before surgery, and find anything like Pedialyte or Powerade Zero, sugar free Jello, can't do those popsicles at all, so chemically tasting. I always made my own food, was pretty LCHF and lately all Proteins seem unbearable. I tried making egg salad, chicken salad, all pureed....damn what a struggle. I figure maybe after this dehydration things totally passes, I will be able to eat again. I love fish, made some last night, nope, my hub had to eat it. Not even rotisserie chicken, which we can eat the dark. Who'd have thunk it???? Struggle to find food to eat. I used to love green beans from the Chinese restaurant, I mean love love love, I almost threw up trying to eat 2 pieces last night. This is just so crazy. -
Can you give us a little more info on what problems you are having with Protein? I eat chicken with salsa, shrimp salad, Filet Mignon, Chili, cheese, pork with LF Gravy, nuts, deli roast beef, mini meatloafs, meatballs, etc. Yogurt is a great source of protein. Fairlife Milk can be flavored with Hershey's SF chocolate Syrup for 13g of protein per 8 oz. I bake my chicken breasts on a cookie sheet sprayed with PAM Olive Oil and add cut up onions and peppers also sprayed with Pam Olive Oil. It takes 25 mins at 400 degrees and gives me 3 - 4 meals at least. You can add any seasoning you want to the chicken.

Start with water to wake up your system. Then a protein shake or something easy on your system such as scrambled eggs, yogurt, etc. Lap-banded and love it! -
How did you get over your addiction?
Guest replied to JerseyJules's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You have to be ready to want to lose. Like you said, it's a tool. I have two customers that went thru it, and now after 5 years, they both gained it all. One said it was sweets, she had personal grief (daughter passed) and she started just stuffing with sweets. The other two a couple said they just kept eating more and more carbs and went back to old habits. I know you said you don't wan to eat like before (4 slices of pizza), start practicing now. Order a salad, and a small pizza. Kids get a slice and some veggies or salads, and if they want a second....well kids if they play can handle one. Just practice. Today I picked up Chinese for my hub, and it's the first time I paid $6 for both our food. He just got way less stuff, a bit of sesame chicken and a lot less rice. I had two steamed dumplings (could only eat half the pork of one) and maybe a spoonful of rice. I had been sick and not eaten much since Sunday, so figured it was ok. I had only had one egg, one slice cheese Saturday, 1/2 yogurt Sunday, 1/2 Premier Protein yesterday. Very dehydrated, so figured the sodium would be ok. The addiction is vicious, in my head I can't even see an Olive Garden commercial. I love Pasta and that's all I think about. Been careful eating what I am suppose to. Til got sick Saturday. So the head hunger is a strong nasty enemy. Only sleeved on 1/10. -
We're actually fairly close on numbers - I was sleeved about 2 weeks after you. Well, and am 45 [emoji16]. But girl, you have lost a TON of weight! Just this week I finally hit 50 down on the scale. After surgery, it took me almost a month just to get back down to my day of surgery weight, so I'm not a super fast loser. I AM get hungrier and able to eat more. Not starving, but definitely transitioning to real food. So yeah, I will eat part of a hamburger - but no bun. Cheese and turkey summer sausage - and no crackers. Chicken, verde sauce, and cheese topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt. Eating for protein really does make a difference for me. And the restriction is still there - I've had pretty severe anemia and couldn't eat very much for a couple of days. And man, my first piece of meat after was like, two bites and done. But I also see my grandma (diabetic) snacking on crackers all day and wondering why her health is failing and say, "Yeah, let's not do that." I had a blood transfusion yesterday, in addition to iron treatments, and the doctor is trying to fast track me for a hysterectomy. (Peri-menopausal + jacked hormones + weight loss is proving to be too much for my body.) I also have a bad ankle I'm hoping to get back to PT for soon. In June, I'll be 46. So there's no way on earth a healthy young thing like you can't stay on track if I can [emoji16]. September to summer birthdays! Even with surgeries, I'll keep trying [emoji106]. It won't be an instant miracle, but as long as it keeps going, I'll consider myself blessed. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Wow - that update ate some text! Well, OP already knows what I said about waiting 3 months and trying very small half flat sips for the probiotics. And talking to my NUT. And waiting like, a half hour between sips. Oh - and being really careful of the carbs - some are way more sweetened than others. As for the jello, some of the paleo crew make kombucha gummies for the probiotics. You might want to check those out - gelatin and kombucha probiotics are a powerful gut health combo. I just made very weak jello post-op using Great Lakes gelatin dissolved in water and then whisked into some flat kombucha. It was okay - I really, REALLY would not risk any carbonation right after surgery. I keep meaning to try some newer versions just for the jello and general gut health aspect, but haven't gotten around to it. Do you like kefir? The stuff in the states has had the carbonation killed off, but I did drink unsweetened kefir with a couple drops of flavored stevia post-op. Again, mostly for the probiotics. But it's not a bad yogurt drink, either. I have never been an unsweetened person, but tastes change and post-op, the sweet leaf berry stevia drops are pretty good.

How much is to much sugar in a day
James Marusek replied to Lovelyladybee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
After gastric bypass surgery, many people use yogurt. Generally the advise is to avoid yogurt with fruit on the bottom because the fruit generally has added sugar. Greek yogurt is better than normal yogurt because it has almost twice the protein content. So I would recommend that you select a yogurt with "no added sugar". Read the ingredient label for contents and avoid any yogurt with process sugar listed in the ingredients. Milk and milk products can contain natural sugars. So even though the yogurt may indicate 6 grams of sugar, if it is all derived from natural sugars contained in the dairy used to make the yogurt, that will not present a problem. -
How much is to much sugar in a day
Lovelyladybee posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So how much is to much sugar to eat in a day, I has the gastric bypass 2 weeks post op, been eating yogurt, one has 7 gram and one has 6 grams I eat on snack to help get my Protein in, is that to many sugars in one day? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Starting Soft foods, suggestions welcomed
_Kate_ replied to janedoe92's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Soft flaky fish, chopped turkey or chicken, cheese and cottage cheese, boiled eggs, thicker scrambled eggs or poached eggs, advocado, thicker Soups, greek yogurt, soft fruits (nothing with seeds in them for this stage). Very soft veg which is not fibrus. Protein drinks and things from Phase 1. I think thats what I lived on for this stage. Kate -
lol, it's funny you say "regular yogurt". It's really only America that eats what you probably consider normal. I have to admit, it took some getting used to, but I accidently grabbed one of my daughters yogurts not too long ago. Oh god, it was awful! It was slimy like mucus to me! It's all about what you are used to. Take any greek yogurt and put it in the freezer for a while. Just before it freezes, it's almost like ice cream. That's how I transitioned over to it. Hell, half the time now I just eat plain unflavored yogurt.

Messed up already?
Guest replied to AshleyinOnederland's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Taken a step back, can't seem to drink more than 32-40 oz of Water. I think maybe dehydrated a bit again, felt great Friday, worked, got home, cooked for hub, did 3 loads laundry, perfect day. Then Saturday ate one egg/sl cheese, and could not eat any other food that day, had a half a yogurt yesterday (can't stand those Dannon or Oikos, need to get to Wholefoods). Will try and eat something now. Do not feel like eating at all. Still feverish, got fever and chills Saturday, and now have migraine and body aches. I am trying to drink as much possible. I am 4 weeks tomorrow from VSG. -

Need Mentor VSG'd in Tijuana (esp Pompa VSG, 50+)
Guest replied to Bon Appetit's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Are you doing ok? I see it's been 4 mos. I am only out 4 weeks. Just checking to see if you have had any issues. Friday I felt great, worked all day, came home, cooked, did 3 loads of laundry, amazing night. Then Saturday had fever, chills, and could not even eat, had one egg and slice of cheese. Could not eat yesterday, had 1/2 a yogurt. Maybe it's just dehydration, trying to drink. Felt horrible, a tad better today low grade temp 99.7 today. Took a toll of my body. I was sleeved in Tijuana as well. -
Planning for the long ride home
trekker954 replied to stayingyoung's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
are you on a direct flight and where are you flying from? Often its the flights into the US that have stricter policies on liquids. If flying directly into Mexico without a US connection, depending where, you may be able to bring yogurt and such. If you are on a one meal plus shakes for the pre surgery diet, you might make up some turkey and cheese roll ups. You may have to resort to powders and bring a shaker bottles if you are on liquids only prior to your surgery. You'll need that for the flight home as well. how soon before and how soon after your surgery are you flying? I suggest you bring a full size, yet flat pillow to put on your tummy and then the seatbelt for your trip home. Those pillows, even on the long flight if in coach are crappy and won't cover enough. -
I take two servings a day to 6 to 8 ounces of water, or add it to applesauce, yogurt anything really. Just make sure to get your water in, when taking benefiber it will work against you if not hydrated. Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Don't do Protein shakes if you can't stomach them. I didn't. The two week pre surgery diet was hell to me because I hated them. After surgery, I didn't have even one. I hid Protein powder in other ingredients, like Soup, early on, and did a lot of dairy to get my protein up. Fairlife milk is just as good as Protein Shakes, honestly, and Greek yogurt is also an excellent source. I was determined to do it in a healthy way without fake foods, and I did. And still am at 9 months out! You can too. Sent from my Nexus 6P using the BariatricPal App
