Bypass w/ minor issues
savyourdvine1 replied to kassandrafernandez@ymail.com's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
If everything looks good at the hospital.... I would still check with your surgeon. But remember your body is still healing..... It's pulling energy from you to do that. You need to rest and keep yourself hydrated with Water and Protein shakes. Are you taking Vitamins? When my stomach refuse to take anymore Protein Shakes (burnout) my liquid vitamins kept me alive without complications. I'm eating mushy foods now so I put nonflavored Protein powder in my yogurt, hummus and some liquid drinks. Plus everything I eat has protein, fish, Beans, eggs, cheese and so forth. Stay safe.

Suggestions on puréed foods
heidikat72 replied to time4change2017's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I second Jamie's post. that blog and in particular her post on puree stage were great inspiration for me then. I eased into purees by starting with greek yogurt and once that seemed to do ok, i tried a little refried Beans, then went to the ricotta bake. and from there did purees of tuna or chicken or salmon or eggs with greek yogurt - pureed tuna salad was more appealing to me than just throwing a chicken breast and broth in a blender! Considering the puree phase is fairly short (for me it was 2 weeks), that was enough variety - especially with the flavored tuna and salmon pouches changing things up daily. Good luck, take it slow and it will end soon and you can move on to the next phase! -
Today I am 1wk post-op from my sleeve surgery! Most of the chest pressure from when I drink is gone, thankfully! My bowels are working and I'm not nauseous! Praise the Lord for all these things! My stomach muscles are on the mend but still a bit sore when bending over or getting up. I have lots of bruising on my tummy. Other than that I'm able to do my protien drinks, soups, sf Jello, sf popsicles, greek yogurt & cream of wheat. My first week I lost 6.5lbs! Yaya! Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App

I think part of my issue is I can no longer tolerate Protein power or protein shakes at all. Makes me gag even at the smell, and yes I've tried many different brands including GENEPRO. I have a lot of sensory issues and this is suffering for it. I can't tolerate yogurt either due to my sensory problems. So I need to find a way to get in my calories and protein through food alone. Oh, did I mention I have a lot of food allergies too (including, but not limited to, legumes (for ex - peanuts, Beans, peas, etc), almonds, and all fish (yes all, not just seafood). *sigh* Yeah, it's difficult right now. So keep the menus coming, I need ideas. Have to get creative.

VooLivre2017 replied to HeidiSue2009's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I use unjury unflavored Protein Powder. I buy it from their website. Besides mixing it in things like yogurt, Soups, refried Beans, etc, you can mix it in drinks like Crystal Light, Powerade Zero and decaf iced tea. -
Confused by what my stomach is telling me
Bufflehead replied to krystalrose219's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You don't want to be looking for "full." That uncomfortable stuck feeling you are getting isn't full, it's "you ate too much." Instead, measure out a very small meal and eat slowly. When you feel satisfied (NOT physically full) stop eating. If you accidentally get that uncomfortable signal that you ate too much, figure out how much you ate that caused the problem and make sure you measure out a smaller meal than that next time. For example, if you measure out 4 ounces of yogurt but before you finish it you get the "you ate too much" signal, look at how much you have left. Maybe a quarter of what you started with? so 3 ounces was too much. Next time, measure out 2 ounces instead of 4 and eat that instead. Good luck! -
My plan on soft foods was 3 meals per day of a maximum 3 ounces of food -- but in reality the max I could eat for most of it was 2 ounces. I was to supplement with protein shakes and that was the only way I got in enough protein. I basically focused on high protein foods for my meals: 2 meals of primarily meat (tuna salad, turkey burger, mashed sardines, braised beef, etc) and 1 meal of high protein vegetarian food such as cottage cheese, eggs, Greek yogurt or refried beans. Minimum of 2 protein shakes per day.

Confused by what my stomach is telling me
krystalrose219 posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hello all I'm 1 week post op still on the Full liquid diet about to transition to very soft foods like yogurt and refried Beans. I'm just kind of confused about what exactly the "full" signal is. If I take a sip that's too big or too many sips one after another, I get a distinct painful almost "stuck" feeling that lasts a couple seconds and then it's gone and I'm okay to keep taking sips as long as they're very small. Is this "stuck" feeling supposed to be the signal that I'm full? I had thought the surgery was meant to make you feel more full and satisfied sooner but this feeling I'm getting doesn't feel like what I remember "full" to feel like. Anybody have any insight?

I had a hard time on puree/soft to get enough food and Protein in. I started adding unflavored Protein powder to anything that it would mix into. I froze Syntrax Protein drinks into ice-pop tubes to boost fluids and protein intake. I kept up with the Protein shakes to give myself a good protein base to work from, and added the puree/soft foods on top of that. I ate stuff like refried Beans with cheese, lots of greek yogurt, and made up protein powder with 1/2 the liquid to make pudding. I also found later that Fairlife milk has quite a bit more protein than regular milk, so I've switched to that to boost my intake. It's hard to get all the protein in to start with, and the calories stayed very low for me until I was on a full diet. My doc said my #1 priority is fluids, and my #2 priority is protein, and for the first 2-3 months post-op that's all she wanted me worried about.

QueenOfTheTamazons replied to adida.franklin@yahoo.com's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Do you eat eggs? I used to take 3 parts egg beaters, 1 part fairlife milk and 1 part cheese to make a soft scrambled egg. I also make my own Protein shakes using fairlife chocolate milk and GENEPRO. I blend it in my ninja with ice for a shake. It has a good chocolate flavor and covers up the genepro. I also add a tbs of PB2 for a change. Oikios triple zero is a decent high protein Greek yogurt if you can handle Greek. HW 385 SW 359 CW 305 Sleeved 10/5/16 -

QueenOfTheTamazons replied to adida.franklin@yahoo.com's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I can eat an 8oz yogurt and other slider foods in a single sitting but dense Protein like cheese or chicken it's more like 4. My nut said 80-90g protein (90 when exercising) and 800-1000 Cal's a day. I have had two long stalls where I gain and lose the same 3lbs, then all of a sudden lose 10lbs. I know I've been eating too much junky higher carb foods. Part of that is from feeding other non fat or no diet people. When husband gets the surgery I am going get back on a regimented diet. When husband is on pre and post op liquid diet I am going to do so as well. I think it will help him stay on track and will help "reset" me as well. HW 385 SW 359 CW 305 Sleeved 10/5/16 -
@@nicole1171 I got some of those yogurt tubes (Chobani has less sugar than Go-gurt, look at the labels) and stuck them in my freezer. They turn into creamy popsicles. I've also put regular yogurt into ice cube trays and frozen them. Then I'll pop out one or two and blend it with some unfrozen yogurt and Protein powder. It's more tart than ice cream, but if you want cold and creamy it'll hit the spot.

Please don't over-stock on the Premier shakes. I got them for a recent weekend trip I did, just to have handy in case I couldn't "make a shake" in my room but I'm not a fan. Tzasiki, hummus, yogurt, cottage cheese and ricotta are all good puree stage foods.

Looking for January op buddies!
abjale replied to bluey's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am currently drinking two 8-12oz Protein shake Meal Replacements followed by one service of lean protein and a serving of veggies. They also have me stopping all Vitamins and most medication. If I'm still hungry I can have some non-fat yogurt or cheese. Then only Clear liquids for two days before surgery. -
What food stage are you in? At 2 weeks out, you shouldn't really be "exercising" yet other than "brisk walking" for up to an hour a day. Not an hour straight! An hour total. Your nutritionist should have given you info about how frequently and how much to be eating. At two weeks I was still in my full liquids phase. I "ate" 5 times a day. Three of those times were Protein shakes and the other two were things like Greek yogurt or cottage cheese.

Question for newbies and vets?
JamieLogical replied to Coachthex32's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Soups or scrambled eggs if you have to order food anywhere. Cottage cheese, yogurt, etc. if you have a mini fridge in your room. And then just lots of protein shakes! -

If you have a refrigerator, I would suggest greek yogurt, cream Soups with Protein powder and cottage cheese. Everything else pretty much requires processing. -
Dumping syndrome
erica_ozzy73 replied to llafontant's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have had it a few times... I get it from eating something that contained too much sugar. I get a little crampy and feel off until 30mins later I'm on the toilet with the trotters... after that I'm good. I have had it from a yogurt , ice cream, and some shitty Italian dessert.

Pureed food stage
sasharbinx replied to HeidiSue2009's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mushy peas and carrots is agreeable for me during the puree phase. It seems to be holding up in my stomach alright. I've hurled previously mistakingly jumping the gun with a small bowl of pho (noodles, broth, soft tofu), those noodles went in and came running out of my system just the way they came. I'm happy to stick to purees if it means not hurting myself! Same thing happened with 2 oz of tuna salad that I think I ate a little too fast... I felt like bulimic person. Gross stuff. So yeah back to just mushy peas and carrots, peas and cottage cheese (not sorry if that's a weird combo, savory to me), and Protein shakes, Jello, broth, yogurt, popsicles, propel, crystal light. All stuff in my kitchen. -

Hi everyone, It's been a while since I've posted, largely because I've been pretty busy enjoying my new life. But Lately I've been a bit worried that I may be on the edge of losing too much weight! I just stepped on the scale and weighed in at 198. I peaked a few years ago at 380 and my surgery weight was 351 this past May, so eight months ago. That is over 150 pounds lost in eight months! I had been feeling pretty good with good energy. But I had some knee surgery (which I had previously written about in this forum) a couple weeks ago and am now in a pretty poor state of mind. I'm sure it is a combination of painkillers and general post-surgical lethargy and depression from sitting all day, but man do I feel weak. I feel like a bag of bones with a lot of gross saggy skin! Should I be concerned tht I've lost too much too fast? How do I slow this down? I still can't eat anything to speak of. For example today I had a single serve container of Greek yogurt with fresh blueberries for breakfast, a 16 oz. bowl of chicken soup for lunch and two squares of pizza for dinner. I had a snack of three triscuits and a slice of cheese. Most days I also have a protein shake but am out today. I literally can't eat more than this. Anyone else been here? Anyone have any suggestions on how to slow this train down? I can't get out to the dr. until I have this cast removed and am approved to drive, probably another three weeks or so.
