How many calories...
mylighthouse replied to visionmom77's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told by my nutritionist and also a person here that I needed to get my calories above 600 a day in order to lose weight. I lost weight the first 2 weeks and my calories were definitely under 500 a day. But then after that, I started stalling at least every other week until I could get my calories above 600 a day. I started adding more Protein to my diet... I was not very hungry either. So when I did eat things like yogurt, cottage cheese or Soup, I would add unflavored Protein powder to them to boost my calories a bit. I also drank the Premier Protein shakes in between meals to get in some more calories. Doing those things got my calories up into the 600's while I was on my pureed and soft food stages. Then I started dropping weight again. Now that I am 8 weeks post surgery, I am finally finding that I am getting hungry and I am able to replace the shakes I had for Snacks with other foods like string cheese, cottage cheese with fruit and yogurt. Got my calories up to 800 a day now and I am still losing weight. -

Omj!! YEESSSS! I was given Miralax, I've had to take it twice!! But it works wonders, the first time I had to take a dose that evening then again the next morning, just the other day I was having problems and took a dose and by morning it was all good I like Miralax because you stir it into 4ozs of Water and drink it, it has no flavor so it goes down easy. You a Nola girl?? Me too, now live in Texas!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Yes I'm a NOLAGIRL living in Memphis,TN I've been blending the whey Protein with 1% milk and it gives me gas so back, but I've had BM since I posted that, so I'm going on 3 weeks out I've tried grits and eggs yesterday and it felt like it was stuck in my chest very uncomfortable feeling, I'm on puree foods but idk what to eat that will be good to me. I couldn't do refried Beans before surgery bcuz of acid reflux anyway I don't like it, any suggestions? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using the BariatricPal App I totally understand, Proteins do that to me too, like they won't go down... I stuck to Greek yogurt and cream of wheat, now when I blend my meats I add broth or water, blend them well, then strain it... Not the tastiest, but I can tolerate them.... I'm going on 5 weeks out and find I'm tolerating things better now. Last night I went out to a restaurant with my family, ordered bean Soup, smashed some of the beans up with the juice and was able to tolerate it really well.... I also didn't use to know when I was full, but I'm learning what that feels like now. When I first started with puréed meats, I also tried to eat 2oz.... and realized I could only eat an oz comfortably. Each day will get better. Try eating just an egg, blend it up with some broth ( after I blend it, I nuke it a few secs to warm it up) you may tolerate it better... let me know how it goes!!

Yes this is normal. The important thing is to measure this early out. You will find that things like Soups, yogurt and soft foods slide through much easier leaving you room for more. Dense Proteins like meat, fish, cheese will actually fill you up faster and keep you full longer. I find that Greek yogurt definately stays with me much longer than regular yogurt, same with cottage cheese. This is why it really is important to measure your foods, figure out what is a slider for you and stay away from them. Especially during the first year which is considered the honey moon period.

I like that it's not sweet...Just my personal taste .. Could you add splendid to it? Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Soup recommendations?
NoMoreFatFA replied to TellyUSA's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Bone broth is really good for you! As far as a little but if something warm, Trader Joe's has low sodium choices that are yummy. You could add some Greek yogurt to it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Green Spot / Sweet Spot - How do you know?
Julie norton replied to Treadmillwalker's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My take is this is your band training you! It is a difference having consequences .....vs eating with abandon anytime.(banded 12/06) I hope you can figure out what is the right amount for you to feel " not hungry". (Took me a long time to get the difference from full) We all just try to learn and respect the band hopefully. Good luck and keep posting Maybe the next fill will be just right. Please try to not count on rejecting/productive burping(pb) your food. As a vet, I do know that an irritated band is not happy... it takes me days of yogurt, cheese, softer food to let my band rest -
1 day post open, home
hmm33502 replied to Snackpak's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am on soft solid stage 1. Greek yogurt, fat free re fried Beans or beans chewed really well, pudding, Protein shakes, scrambled eggs, cheese. I was told to try 1 new item per meal to make sure that my body can handle it. In 3-4 days I progress to soft solids stage 2, ground beef, lunch meat, chicken, cooked veggies. That is my life for the first month!! They said to take a small bite, chew really well and wait 1-4 minutes to make sure that your body is accepting the texture. It should take 15 mins to eat the few oz of food at each meal! Good luck on everything!! SW:327 CW:239 GW:155 Heather in Texas -
Wedding dinner advice...
Armygalbonnie replied to Merm12210's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I know I'm going to have trouble finding something to eat, I take a Premier Protein shake with me. Not much fun but it's on program and it keeps me from eating something that may cause me to fail. At 2.5 weeks out, you can't take any chances eating a texture that your Dr. hasn't approved. It's way too dangerous! I was on purred foods at that time, and I primarily stuck to cottage cheese, yogurt and tuna salad. There's no way I could have handled any more texture than that. Good luck tomorrow! -
Wedding dinner advice...
Kmccusker127 replied to Merm12210's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Maybe Soup or soft veggies. I would pack some cottage cheese, maybe a yogurt or other small containers of soft foods. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Carrots won't be a good post-op snack, but cheese cubes are good. Try for protein Snacks like cheese sticks, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, Jerky, nuts, and beef/turkey sticks. If you do Protein shakes or bars for snacks, be sure to read the labels and make sure they aren't loaded with sugar or carbs.

Hi...I was banded in Monterey, MX by Dr. Sanchez. I could not be banded in the US at that time because I was not considered "morbidly obese". I did the yo yo with my weight most of my adult life and was never able to maintain a constant healthy weight. At that time the lap band was very new and a lot of people were going to MX for placement. I have not had a fill in over 10 years and still have restriction. I still have to eat slow, chew well and am not able to eat certain foods unless I have had a drink or two (which loosens the band...relaxes me). I still have a difficult time eating out .... I eat much better at home. I can't eat in the mornings and have carnation instant usually. I try to get my protein in with cottage cheese, yogurt, organic chicken and eggs (eggs don't always do well). I juice occasionally to get my veggies and fruits. I am considering removing my band this next year because I would like to be able to eat salads and fruit naturally and I do have to work at getting my nutrients in. Unfortunately, ice cream, candy and white russians go through very well, lol. I know I would lose another ten pounds if I would cut out the sugar. I still slime a lot and that concerns me. Im not really sure what I will do. I am not being followed by a doctor and have not been for 10 years. I do have a lot of heart burn and am sure it is because of the sliming. I am going to see a doc to get checked out this year for that. I do not regret getting the band as it has helped me in the long run. The band is the boss as you all know. Any questions, feel free to ask. Also, I had a tummy tuck in Monterey with Dr Cardenas about a year after my weight loss and that was the best thing I ever did for ME....

Differentiating between fullness and hunger
ShelterDog64 replied to White Sale's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@White Sale I never felt restriction in my sleeve until I was on a regular diet. Soft/mushies didn't trigger it at all, and even now, if I eat yogurt or cottage cheese, I get no 'stop' sensation...but dense Proteins? Definitely. You're doing the right thing, measuring and sticking to your plan. -

Good eating Habits
JamieLogical replied to HealthierMe2017's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
You can definitely enjoy treats like ice cream post-op. Not immediately post-op, obviously, but certainly by the time you are in maintenance. I had half a piece of Cheesecake Factory cheesecake last night! The most important things post-op will be Protein and Water. You need need need to put protein first. But if you are meeting your protein goals, then a little ice cream or mashed potatoes or whatever once in a while is fine. I think right now, pre-op, there are some things you can work on that will make your post-op life easier. Start going ahead and putting protein first. Eat your protein before your starches or vegetables at each meal. Start working on finding high protein Snacks you can enjoy (greek yogurt, cottage cheese, string cheese, nuts, Jerky, turkey sticks, etc.). Start tracking your protein. Ideally you will want to get up to 100 grams a day. Start getting a sense of how much protein is in the foods you eat regularly. Start cutting back on carbs. Your pre-op diet will likely be a no-carb diet. So it will only help you to kick that carb habit sooner than later! If you smoke, quit now! You will be required to quit prior to surgery and giving up smoking AND food at the same time will be too much to handle. Cut back on caffeine and alcohol too. You won't be allowed any of either for at least 30 days post-op by most plans, so again, easier to phase it out now than have to go cold turkey at the time of your surgery. Start eating slowly and trying to not eat and drink at the same time. The not eating and drinking at the same time thing will seem impossible at first. For me, I had to just not even have a beverage within reach while eating, otherwise I would drink it without even thinking about it. As for eating slowly... chew each bite as thoroughly as possible and set your fork down between bites. -
9 Days to Fiance's VSG
Kaylamh replied to HappilyHeather's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Don't be worried too much about feeding them post op. During my full liquid phase I drank shakes and ate yogurt. In my puréed stage I've been a huge fan of cottage cheese (with Splenda, vanilla and a dash of cinnamon), chicken salad, scrambled eggs and yogurt. It's not a ton of stuff that you have to cook. The soft foods phase is where it gets tricky, but it's kind of like a previous poster said. Most of it is normal stuff that anyone will eat, so just split portions of protein and make sure they're moist and soft. (Meatloaf, dark meat poultry, shrimp etc) -
I made regular food and just puréed it in my magic bullet. Things cooked in a slow cooker are great to puree because they are very soft. Make sure you purée the meat with enough sauce/broth. I also ate refrigerator Beans with some shredded cheese, egg salad puréed up, and Greek yogurt. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Are revisions REALLY necessary?
pvechiola replied to Babbs's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I completely agree, if you had the surgery once why on earth should the insurance company have to pay for it again!! I hate to be blunt but evidently you are not sticking with the program if you don't stay away from bad foods. My family is from Sicily and we eat pasta and I know my mom worries whenever we don't want to eat it, it was the hardest thing for me to do is to tell her I was dropping pasta from my diet, she says portion control is the answer and she's right and portion control is a problem but to get my life back on track I don't want to especially hurt moms feelings a little but I am determined to loose this weight. It is so true about Italian families they all revolve around food. Now she is pushing yogurt on me every second she's trying to feed me. I'm not sure what's harder learning how to eat properly or teaching my mom that I don't need to eat everything she buys me for my diet all in the same week. I hope this gets easier.

For me, soon 7 weeks out, I have a lot of things reducing my eating. Here are a few of my reasons: - I'm simply not hungry and forget to eat sometimes - the restriction of my pouch makes all my meals very small - I dump on all sweet foods in tiny amounts and even all fast/simple carbs if I don't have enough Proteins with them - I have to eat enough proteins every day and I don't have room for bad choices - I drink all the time and have to plan my eating around it, so unplanned Snacks never happen - foods taste different, I don't even care for sweet foods like yogurt, I would rather have something salty I have to use an app to track my diet, otherwise I end up eating and drinking way too little. My fitness pal is a very good app for this, if you aren't using one yet. Good luck to you! Nilla

Hi All. My surgery was 10/13/15 because of chronic HBP and its been normal since then. Now however, I'm 14 weeks pregnant and just had a super high reading of 142/90. I could not eat much at all during my first trimester, specifically meat, milk eggs and yogurt, and so I fear I've been living like my pre-surgery days and eating way too many carbs and Christmas candy and Christmas Cookies. Like, an insane amount, and I'm wondering if maybe this has spiked my blood pressure. Go ahead, nail away!

The sugar in Noosa would kill me! 9 months out. I used to like it a lot though. I didn't care for the oikos yogurt I tried but I still have a few flavors to try. I am finding my tastes have changed a lot since the surgery. I find I have to try things once or twice to see if I like it. Might be the same for you. I like dannon light and fit Greek yogurt. It is yummy and lower on the sugars. My Dad and Stepmother who had rny years ago love the carb control yogurt by kroger/smith's. Can't find it out where I am but it might be near you. Best of luck with everything!

@@BigViffer lucky for me I am no longer tempted by Noosa. I brought the rhubarb one home once. That very day I opened it up and found the thing absolutely covered in green and black mold. And it was well within its expiration date, too. Ever since then, any time I get tempted by Noosa at the market, I just re-live opening up that container of rhubarb yogurt and it is extremely easy to keep walking right by the Noosa.

Try Fage or Siggi's yogurt for much better nutrition -- lower calories, carbs, and sugar and higher protein.

There is too much sugar! I stick to Yoplait Greek 100 and light and fit Greek Dannon with 80 calories. Also, you want to try to stay away from yogurts that have fruit in them. Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App
