I just had to call my nutritionist because of the same thing! Its totally normal. The reason you can eat what feels like 'too much' is because you have an empty band.Once you get your fill, that'll subside. If its too tempting to eat more than you should, sub in a heavy duty protein shake (add yogurt, fruit, ice, etc so it feels substantial). Good work on the 20 that you're down!

There are going to be some who disagree with me on this but I quit worrying about it. I do eat foods geared towards protein - shrimp (often), kashi go lean, carb control tortillas (for pizza - often with chicken). I never found a decent protein powder and my surgeon recommends not using them after 4 weeks because he wants it to come from food source anyway. In the morning I either eat kashi go lean, eggs, protein pancakes (check our eggface recipes - she's amazing), and sometimes I drink smoothies (2% plain chobani greek yogurt, 1 cup of baby spinach, natural puree juice, frozen fruit chunks like mangoes, blueberries, cherries, and a dash of sugar free vanilla torani syrup). Good luck.

Gonna Be Banded In March:-)
NWgirl replied to ambitiousgirl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
my Dr only requires a low fat diet. I have been doing a pseudo liquid diet for bout 1.5 weeks now, but will do complete liquid w/yogurt starting tomorrow. the only things I have had out of the norm in the past 1.5 weeks are steak, Pasta, and pizza. I had heard plenty people say they have problems eating these particular foods, so I wanted one last chance if it's the case for me too. I did eat mindfully each time, so did not gorge myself :wub: -
Optifast diet- Help!
kgranite79 replied to kgranite79's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey Birchmoon, Trust me I feel your pain. I just got banded on the 20th and haven't eaten "real" food for 3-4 weeks now. Good news though, I lost 24lbs already!!! Trust me you can do it. Just stay focused and know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I avoided food at all costs. Didn't go to the grocery store, didn't make the kids dinner...didn't put myself in front of food for a while. That really helped me, because as soon as I saw it, or smelled it I REALLY wanted it- heck I still do!!! I just started my all liquids post op diet and that consists of all clear liquids, sugar free popsicles, sugar free jello (which I am SICK of) soup broth, yogurt (light and fit 60 calories) carnation instant breakfast, and of course protein drinks. I was thrilled to get to this stage believe it or not. The yogurt is the closest thing to food that I have had in a while, so it really fills me. I know I felt like it was going to take forever but just know that you will have such SUCCESS with it. I am so thrilled that I have lost 24lbs already, that it has really motivated me! Hang in there, and know that we are all here to talk to when times get rough- we have all been there and know EXACTLY what your going through. I have to say I really liked the french vanilla optifast drink, I actually preferred it over the chocolate. After the 3rd or 4th day anything seems to taste good lol. Also after a few days the hunger went away and I was actually "satisfied" after a drink. It will get better, trust me! Good luck with everything and keep us all updated! :w00t: -

New start to life and I have a million questions
djdyps01 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 5 dayz out from my bypass. I have been drinking veggie broth, chicken broth, but yet to try beef broth. I have been reading about gaining ur sense of smell. And dam I guess it's true. Cuz the smell of my fridge makes me gag. After over a week of drinking the same thing, I find myself not eating. I have tried the Greek yogurts and we'll I got sick of it fast. I do have the privilege of having someone to talk to that's close to me about wat to expect. My cuz had it done 3yrs ago and lost over 100 pounds. And looks good. But i wanna try new things but is it to soon. Like beans. Eggs. Etc. I read bake beans are bad but black beans are ok. Then read sugar free ketchup is still ok. Please help I'm way new to this and never expected it to be so hard. But i know wen u talk about it to people who have success it will boost my morale.. so any suggestions. -
I'm about 8 months out and I could easily get my protein from 'normal' food however I choose to have 1 protein shake per day because I like it for breakfast and also then I just don't have to think about protein again for the rest of the day because I know I'll hit the rest through food no problem. But if you had eggs for breakfast, greek yogurt and fruit for snack, lunch meat and cheese for lunch, jerky and nuts for snack, meat and veggie for dinner you'd easily hit your goal for the day once you are able to consume a few oz at a time and you'd have a pretty balanced day.

Raw vegetables - which ones and when?
NovaLuna replied to rjan's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hmm. It varies for different things for me. I've gotten nausea with some things. Stomach cramps with others. Gas. Diarrhea. It just depends. For example, I don't deal well with sucralose or fake sugars (though I'm okay with stevia) and it's way TMI, but you asked so... I get really REALLY bad gas. My stomach makes noise and EVERYTHING. And then it ends up with diarrhea so... no fake sugars for me! 😅 I was bad with dairy for a while, but I tolerate it better now than I did early on, which is good because I love my cottage cheese and yogurt! I haven't tried jello since liquid phase because it caused indigestion for me and it was painful and super uncomfortable! I tried it twice in the hospital and twice and home and was so done after that. On the bright side... I have yet to vomit. Everyone was telling me I'd for sure get sick and vomit and I'm almost two and a half months out and haven't vomitted even once. So I say HA to all those who told me I'd get sick! -
I've got my Date Oct. 19, Anyone close to that?
Colleen Rothberg replied to Trisha213's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Day 3 still gassy. Finding hard to drink 64 oz. did eat some Greek yogurt, sliced turkey, and cottage cheese...not all at one time and chewed a million times. No pain , just sore as hell. No pain meds anymore. Gonna try soup tonight . -
I've been thinking about this. My local grocery store sells large and thin pita pockets that are 100 calories each. I'm thinking you could cut one up into quite a few little triangles (16-24) and the bake em with salt & pepper (maybe garlic or onion powder) in a Pam coated baking pan. Combine with a Greek yogurt dip and you'd have more than you possibly eat without going over 150 calories.

@@Julie Broderick Nelson I'm the 19th also. I had all my pre-op tests yesterday and have been on liquid /yogurt diet since last week-yuck- I am just trying to stay focused and positive. I have set a small goal to learn how to swim- which means buying a bathing suit!! YIKES!! Getting nervous but excited -

Jealous!!! I'm on liquids (includes jello and yogurt---haven't tried yet) until November 3! -
I've been constipated for 2 years! Drink lots of water, and try adding Benefibre (or any other such product) to your protien shakes. Also, believe it or not, bran cereal works wonders. I hate bran, so I sprinkle it on top of frozen yogurt.

June bypass buddies
scarletwitch19 replied to scarletwitch19's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I've had some minor pain, nothing too unmanageable but I'm off pain meds now. I still get a little sore when I first start eating something. I started pureed food Monday. I've been able to do yogurt, canned chicken and refried Beans, that's about it. The Atkins Protein shakes aren't so bad either. I've been having a little trouble getting my Water in. I've been watching to clock and a half hr done eating starting to sip but I still feel like im not getting enough, so I feel like I need to try pushing that more. Has that been a problem for anyone else? I haven't got sick yet, I've also been nervous about that. I haven't felt it yet but I'm worried for if it comes. Emotionally it's been tough. I just went back to work wednesday, so being in a routine has helped a little but I've been pretty overwhelmed. And watching people eat things I can't have has been so hard. I don't even want anything unhealthy, I want to eat grilled chicken and some wild rice. I want to sit at the dinner table with people and feel like im actually eating more than babyfood. I know that will get easier once we can eat normal foods, but in the meantime it's been difficult. -
If you're on liquids, stick to liquids. It's not a fun stage of the diet but it'll pass. Get creative and switch it up. Milk, Soup, Jello, pudding, smoothies, etc. I wouldn't try Cheerios, honestly. I think it will really upset your stomach. I'm about 7 weeks out and tried to eat some cereal the other day and had a few spoons and chucked it. It just wasn't sitting well. And I can eat pretty much anything at this point so that's saying something. You need to stay pretty strict this first week at least. I started trying more "substantial" liquids/purées in my second week... Like greek yogurt and refried Beans.

Thoughts on Sugar free ice cream?
BLERDgirl replied to Pillar2butterfly's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't do artificial sugars of any kind. The trade off is usually higher fat or a science project of chemicals. I have taken greek yogurt, added protein powder or fruit or nut butter in them and put it in the freezer until it got really thick like soft serve ice cream. We all have our thing we miss. This hits my craving for ice cream without derailing my eating. -
1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets Cook the cauliflower in salted water until soft.....20-30 minutes Drain off water, put cauliflower into food processor (sometimes I put half in, then pulse, then add in the rest) Salt and pepper to taste 2 Tbsp butter 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese Blend in food processor until very smooth Adjust seasoning to your taste
-
Pureed cauliflower is amazing! I have been using it as a replacement for mashed potatoes for over a year....long before my surgery. It is not a starchy veg, so virtually no carbs. You can add plain greek yogurt and parmesan cheese to add Protein to it, plus it will kind of taste like loaded mashed potatoes. Yummy! You're right, I misspoke. It is low in carbs. However try as I might it never taste like mashed potatoes to me. I even tried roasting it a bit before pureeing. Please share the recipe.

Some good, quick, healthy breakfast ideas??
S@ssen@ch replied to dawnslapband806's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Of course this is all dependant on what you can tolerate (I've heard some bandsters have trouble with eggs). A Protein bar is good if you're on the go. When I was traveling a lot for work, I'd do a quick Protein shake in the A.M. and drink it in the car. I also used to make a few hard boiled eggs to keep in the fridge and eat one on the go/in the car. Light yogurt with 1/4 cup cheerios or honey nut cheerios serves 2 purposes-protein AND fiber. And its good, too. I know, sounds gross, but it's really good. Those yogurt smoothie drinks. oatmeal I love toast with peanutbutter and a few banana slices *I ALWAYS make an effort to have protein with breakfast, even if it's only peanutbutter or milk. It holds off my appetite and gives me energy. -
Please help me with some purée ideas. I don't eat vegetables and am picky with food but I am so sick of pudding, yogurt, cream of wheat, eggs and Mashed potatoes! My doctor said no oatmeal. What else can I have???? Please help.

Hey Paco..Having another rough day. I am so hungry..my stomach is always growling:cry . I know it is worth it in the end. Only one more week until I can eat mushies:banana . I hope I last that long. I am so tempted to try some yogurt or cottage cheese. I do know if I cheat now and there are no repurcutions it will play with my head and lead me to believe it is ok to cheat so...... Guess I will just do something else to pass my time. See you tomarrow. If I need I will call later. thanks for all your help.

I never thought I would be sooo happy to be on "full liquids!" That clear liquid diet was the worst- I was feeling so run down and weak. Today I started full liquids. I had a little of a smoothie, a little vanilla yogurt, a few bites of fat free/sugar free pudding, and tonight I am going to have a little cream soup! Yeah! :whoo::whoo::whoo: I feel sooo much better now I have some nutrients in me. I thought I had to do the full liquids for two weeks, but found out I only do them for a week and then on to mushies. Can you tell I am happy? Ha!
