I'm about 10 days post op..
theantichick replied to AC3's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
that one depends on a bunch of things. My surgeon said if the pill was the size of an M&M or smaller (and I assumed not the peanut ones) I could take them staying the day after surgery with my Protein shakes out with applesauce. But my surgeon allowed those things on the full liquid phase that started day 2 if we could keep Water down on day 1. Other surgeons have their patients crush the meds and take with Jello or yogurt unless they are extended release which are never safe to crush. Check with your surgeon or team. sent from mobile device -

Get a low sugar Greek yogurt, blend with Fairlife milk. If you're in the South, Publix has a great yogurt smoothie called B'More. I love those. Sent from my Nexus 6P using the BariatricPal App

Every pre-op diet is different. Mine doesn't allow yogurt at all or any solid foods. It is liquid only for 2 weeks -
January 2017 Sleevers!
NewMeesh replied to magnificent2015's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I start tomorrow. My diet lists plain yogurt in a smoothie only, as long as I stay within my daily calorie limit. Pray, Speak, Do! ~Meesh~ -
I have a food scale and always weigh my food or use a measuring cup when needed. I am at 6 weeks post op and eating regular foods now. I can only get in around 2.5 ounces of meat or 1/4 cup of yogurt or cottage cheese per meal at this point. Those amounts always fill me up along with about 5 small bites of veggies.

I put yogurt with milk in the blender and made a shake. I could use regular yogurt, not Greek cause it is too thick.

Plant based diet and sleeve....

I've gone back and forth between lacto-ovo vegetarian and vegan since 2011. I lost some weight but remained big (my set point and metabolism were a mess). I had RNY on March 7, 2016 and I'm down to 235 lbs from 410 lbs before my two-week pre-op diet. Since surgery, I've been lacto-ovo. I'm male, 6', and consume 1300 - 1800 calories and 70 - 100 grams of Protein daily depending on exercise for the day (I workout 6x weekly alternating strength with cardio). For the first month after surgery I was doing good to get 800 calories and 60 grams of protein in a day. I find it to be easier to get protein with yogurt, cheese, skim milk and the occasional egg. I would like to move back toward veganism, though, but many meat analogues no longer agree with me. Meatless crumbles, TVP, meatless meatballs, and Tofurkey deli slices are fine, but commercial veggie burgers and other products give me trouble. I make yummy black bean burgers, lentil-barely loaves, and TVP & bean chili that I can digest fine. I don't care much for soy Protein shakes. I like Vega One, but it can get expensive. I buy the store brand whey protein at Natural Grocers for cheap, but I only drink the occasional shake these days. I do eat a salad almost every day and add cheese, sunflower seeds, and sometimes a diced poached egg. I didn't return to salads until about 10 weeks out and stick with leafy mixed greens or spinach. I think you'll likely need to use dairy for protein the first two months after surgery and experiment from there. We all have different experiences with which foods do or don't work. There was a guy in my WLS program who was vegan and used mostly soy shakes, tofu scrambles, and TVP, so it can be done if you can handle a lot of soy. Also, there is a "WLS Vegetarians" group on FB that includes many vegans who share ideas. Sent from my LGMS550 using the BariatricPal App -

Is anyone else confused by the pre op diet? I've heard and read so many different allowances in the diet. My nurse isnt the fastest at returning calls and is new to any type of WLS. Can any one tell me if yogurt and diet Snapple tea are ok? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Day 4 Post-Op - Is This Normal?
SeattleSleever replied to SeattleSleever's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm on day six and feeling much better physically. The incisions on either side of my belly button are the most sore and irritated. The rest of my incisions don't hurt but itch like crazy. Gas is pretty much gone now but still no BM. I'm keeping with the Miralax routine. I have no trouble eating a yogurt or pudding cup or cup of creamy soup in about 20-3O min. I'm hungry for "real food" and wish I could move on to the purée stage! How's everyone else feeling? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
2weeks out...what did you eat?
Montana Gal replied to AC3's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
From what I remember I was on soft food at 2 weeks(after 10 days full liquids). I ate scrambled eggs with cheese, greek yogurt, cottage cheese and of course my Protein shake. Pretty boring, but it worked for me. -
My taste buds changed horribly and I would do the same with the shakes. Ive tried syntax nectar unflavored Protein in my yogurt and apple sauce and I've tried syntax nectar fruit punch powder in Water and love both. The fruit punch one is like a crystal light and I also mix mio drops to give stranger taste. Syntax nectar has many flavors that aren't shakes but like fruit juice Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App

Unflavored protein powder is an option and I bet sample packets. Unflavored does not mean flavorless so I masked it, mixing it with Crystal Light or into sugar free pudding. They also make a chicken soup flavor that gives a much needed break from all the sweet flavors. At 2 weeks, if you are cleared for puréed foods, Greek yogurt and cottage cheese are good choices as well. When I struggled with shakes, I was told to add nonfat powdered milk to things to up the protein content. Good luck.

Thank you sleeveisa from Florida. I just sent a message to my Dr. and asked if he could prescribe liquid Calfatrate. I read on the forum that this seems to help people better than the pills. Will wait for him to respond. But for now I am back to basics, homemade broth, cream of wheat, yogurt etc... Thank you again !

Post op two weeks help.
theantichick replied to m3go25's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had issues with shakes after a while. Try different shakes - before surgery I liked the Protein powder shakes, but after surgery I could only tolerate the ready to drink Premier Protein ones. So try different stuff. Also, after surgery I had better luck with the more clear fruit drink protein stuff like syntrax nectar, I liked the roadside lemonade and would freeze it in ice pop type sleeves to make it easier to tolerate. Also, put Protein Powder (unflavored) in anything you do tolerate - like bouillon, yogurt, pudding, etc. And focus on fluids. While protein is super important, it's even more important to stay hydrated. Good luck, it does get better, just hang in there and keep trying! -
I was sleeved on 11-29-2016 at the VA Medical Center in Palo Alto, CA. Surgeon was Dr. Eric Kubat. First of all, I can't say enough good things about the quality of care there. I went in for a simple sleeve and ended up spending 6 days in the ICU with heart and lung issues along with out of sight blood pressure problems. I was under anesthesia for 5 1/2 hours and almost died on the table, but I'm alive and feeling much better today. I walked into the hospital on the 29th and weighed in at 396 pounds. I'm male, 5'10" 57 years old. My weight today on Christmas Day, is 344 pounds, resulting in a current weight loss of 52 pounds! I was cleared to start eating foods(Protein only) on 12-15. I have since put down with no problems, chicken from costco (remove that skin!), honey baked ham, hummus, smoked salmon, cod, tuna fish, crab,shrimp, low fat cottage cheese, Greek yogurt , eggs and turkey. I've totally given up beef. I've had no instances of throwing up at all. I guess I've been blessed not getting sick at all. Once, I felt I ate too much and that was because I took in about 6 ounces instead of the 4 i was told, so I immediately cut back. Also, I take my food and chew it until it's almost a puree-like consistency. I once ate a meal in about 10 minutes, and was very uncomfortable with stomach cramps for about a half hour, so take your time or you may pay the price. My goal is to be healthy, whether it's 250 pounds or 180, as long as my vitals are good. Right now, my blood pressure is back to normal and my blood sugar is perfect, and i used to be at diabetic levels. Getting the surgery probably saved my life as I was unaware of my additional health problems. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What can I expect when I wake up? I have my surgery on 12/27
GmaDiana replied to peteandsummer123's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had bypass on Nov.22.The pain wasn't too bad and the pain meds controlled it.I was able to go to the bathroom with help at first.By the next day walking by myself .Walking is important because the gas pains will go away quicker.This is pain in your shoulders and back.Once I got home I did take stool softners first,then had to add miralax.I didn't need pain meds once I was home.I took off and on for a few days.After the first week I could add soft foods(Cottage Cheese,Yogurt) Didn't have too many problems. Has a lot to do with protein intake and fluid intake.It is slow at begining.Take small sipps all day. -
Curious to hear from those about a week post-op
AnaDmom3 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved 12/16/16. As of a week post op I really feel like I can drink Water without it being small sips and easily drink 8-12 oz in say 15-20 mins time with no problem. I'm also starting to be hungry with stomach growling daily. I seem to read how people can drink around 4 oz in an hour so I'm curious to hear from those a week out if they have seen in fairly big easing up on liquids going down quicker. I can even eat an entire yogurt cup diluted with milk in about 20 mins with no pain. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I'm 10 days post opp and my surgeon and nut cleared me for one small can or pouch of tuna with fat free mayo and relish. It was amazing. I got tired of shakes and chicken noodle soup too. I am also eating Dannon oikos triple zero Greek yogurt to get my daily Protein goal of 80g in. One serving of that have 15g protein no fat or sugars. One serving of tuna have 22g with no fat and sugar. It's learning to know your limits all over again. I still lost 2 lbs overnight. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Three days post-surgery, the journey so far
Tufflaw replied to Tufflaw's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Yeah real simple. Morning Premier Protein shake (11 oz - chocolate). lunch Premier Protein Shake (11 oz - vanilla). dinner Bariatric Advantage protein shake (powder I got from my doctor's office, blended with cold Water and crushed ice), either vanilla or chocolate. Snacks: 1 protein pudding (sugar-free Jello pudding mixed with one serving of Protein Powder and 8 oz of milk, would make 4 servings). also 3 or 4 sugar-free ice pops. Sometimes I'd have a fourth protein shake if I felt like it. Lots of water. I was allowed to have low-sodium broth, I tried it once and it was disgusting, too bland, inedible. I was also allowed some greek yogurt I think and milk but I never bothered. Strangely I never felt hungry at all, although most nights I got cravings for real food, mostly chicken parm. In 2 weeks I dropped exactly 25 lbs.- 95 replies

calling all December 19th sleevers
newmein2017 replied to newmein2017's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm still having pain and taking pain meds. I can tolerate the pain, except my blood pressure goes up significantly when I have pain and gives me the worst head ache. I'm going to have to request a refill. I'm sick of Protein shakes, but still sipping a bit each day. I prefer chicken broth with unjury protein added. Been able to get in more Water yesterday and today. Probably still not enough though. Also drinking some crystal light and G2, and having Popsicles and hello occasionally. Oh, and ate some yogurt yesterday, but I don't like yogurt much so it's hard to eat. Can't wait to eat some stage 2 foods. Thinking of making a chicken or tuna salad in my vita mix so I can eat that. Next week. My doctor said I could try a scrambled egg on day 10 and then some fish if the egg is tolerated. Looking forward to it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
