Food Aversions
laceemouse replied to littlemomma0831's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hate to tell you but I am 5 weeks out next Monday and I still have extreme food aversion. I don't want to see food or smell food. I don't want to watch people eat. The idea of watching cooking shows makes me want to barf. For a couple of weeks I was able to get down 2 Premier Protein shakes a day. It took me several hours to drink each one (I would drink a little, put it back in the fridge for a while, drink a little more, etc) I was really working hard to get those 60-70 grams of protein a day, plus my Water. I could also do some Soup, or maybe a little yogurt, every day. This past week I added scrambled eggs and was able to get one in most mornings. This morning I am trying oatmeal and only getting a couple of spoonfuls in. I know how hard it is, I am still tired. So thankful I don't have to work! My NUT says this will all get better in a few weeks. Next Monday I am cleared to eat anything I want to try and I hope and pray I can add tuna and some other protein sources. I don't understand people who eat real food a couple of weeks out from surgery at all. Some are allowed to and some are disregarding their surgeon's program but either way I just don't get how they are chocking down the things they eat. On a side note I have lost almost 30 pounds since surgery. I think having a tight sleeve, food aversion, and starting back slowly just may pay off. But it is HARD. Much harder than I ever thought it would be. I feel hungry but nothing sounds good and even things that do sound good are hard for me to get much down. -
Something you wish you knew prior to bypass surgery that you know now?
Djmohr replied to erica2185's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
- Drinking or eating ice cold food - It took me a long time to figure out that my stomach just simply doesnt like it at all. I knew about cold Water because every morning i have to drink room temp or warm water to wake my stomach up. But even now 2 years, 2 months post op i have really trouble with drinking ice cold milk, even yogurt....it just needs to warm up slightly and then i dont get a gut ache. - The amount of time spent on planning my meals/snacks. I find if i dont, then i end up going off plan. So, i need to make sure that I have the right foods in my fridge and pantry always.Traveling makes that harder to do. I have to be on purpose about water and Protein or i lose track. If i eat crap, i feel like crap and i crave good protein and good carbs. If i do take a day where i go off plan and eat more carbs, It is harder to get back on track. -
Read the above and take my other hand and hold on tight. The three of us can do this. When that food craving hits change the channel. Think of something else. Pre-plan what you will eat. When possible pre measure your food and have it ready to go. I have pouches of tuna in the cabinet. Pre measured portions of cottage cheese and yogurt in the refrigerator. I keep the family's Snacks out of my site. Portion control is big for me. I can easily overeat if I don't weigh and measure. YOU GOT THIS! Had lapband surgery 10/12/16

I am 4 days into purée stage! So far I made a big pot of pinto Beans (dry beans, half an onion, chicken bullion cube, pepper, garlic and a bit of tabasco plus about 3 cups water) and cooked that sucker for about 4 hours, then strained the beans and puréed it in my blender. Tastes so much better than the standard Protein drink and those beans have much needed potassium to boot. Put a tiny bit of cheese on there and it feels like your having restaurant style refried beans! I have had that for dinner 3 days in a row now and not sick of it yet. Then I decided on a whim to just purée some canned Soup I had been drinking the broth from. It was okay, but I get grossed out by the idea of some puréed foods. Like if I know what it is supposed to be pre-purée, I cant eat it... haha! So that idea only made it one meal. I think I am going to try making some lightened hummus next (love hummus!) and maybe some puréed Cauliflower (there are some great recipes on Pinterest). I had some mashed potatoes today, but those are like a treat for me because of the high carb/low protein counts. Also eating Greek yogurt, low fat cottage cheese and sugar free lime Jello. Those all make nice little Snacks. Good luck! This is a hard one to navigate, but still a billion times better than the liquid phase. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

erica2185 replied to erica2185's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
@ Lisamergs thanks for your response... So do you think its the surgery itself that leaves you with the desire not to eat or its more so a mental change for you? Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App Well...I'm not sure lol. Likely a combination of both. Definitely do NOT feel hunger on any regular basis. Early on, if I was "late" for a meal, and got too far out, and then went to eat, I'd be in pain. Odd thing isn't it? And again, I do not think that was a normal reaction. I learned that if I found myself in a situation where I was going to miss a meal, and knew I'd end up in pain then as soon as I COULD eat, having a Protein shake was a better choice than, say, meat and veggies. I also found that if I was experiencing actual PAIN from not having eaten, a simple forbidden pretzel or cracker chewed well was able to quell it. Those were the few only times I ate carbs... And I'm not prone to being a binge-eater, so I could literally eat just the one or two. As soon as my pouch settled down, I'd have my yogurt or cottage cheese. Most meats, on most days, still do not set right with me. I'm more likely to have a triple zero Oikos (15g protein) with a scoop of protein powder added to it (20g protein) for most meals... Boring, but I hit my protein goals, and today I hit my goal weight. 132 lbs lost since my surgery date.

Stomach capacity-3 months out-Little restriction seems like
OutsideMatchInside replied to jilani's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
10 to 12 ounces of what? At a year I can only have 4 ounces of dense Protein. I can eat endless amounts of things with high liquid contents. Like I could have 16 ounces of yogurt if I didn't think it was disgusting. Are you eating 10 to ounces of dense protein or something else? If you eat things that don't trigger restriction. You won't feel restriction... -

3 1/2 weeks POST OP, what foods should I be eating?
Inner Surfer Girl replied to sanaa.a's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What is on your post-op food plan? It is important to follow the food stages carefully as you heal. Even if you don't have an appetitive (which is very normal) you need to treat eating like a prescription. Getting in enough nutrition, especially Protein and fluids, is critical for healing and for weight loss. At three weeks I was on soft foods: which meant things like tuna, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, deli turkey, chili, etc. Your primary focus should be making sure you are getting in all of your protein and fluids. The World According to Eggface blog has lots of ideas for each food stage. -
Medications with Applesauce - UGH

shedo82773. Thank you. I tried the yogurt and it is sooo much better and even has protein! I can't wait to get off all these medications. -
There are many resources on line with post-op diet plans you can use for the short term. It's not ideal, but it sounds like you were cut loose without any real support, and if I read your post right, your surgeon doesn't have you eating anything with significant Protein. You have got to ramp up your protein in order to heal. It will be very important for you to find a doctor to follow up here stateside, ASAP. A bariatric specialist would be ideal, but many are leery of doing followup on another surgeon's work. The 2nd best option would be a gastroenterologist. If nothing else, find a primary doctor who knows something about bariatric patients. Here's a link to one of many bariatric diet phases that you can use UNTIL you get a local doctor. http://www.floydbariatrics.org/floyd-bariatrics-sleeve-gastrectomy-diet.html However, since you are having complications, you are going to need to move very slowly and carefully through the phases. I would start with finding a Protein shake you like and add that in, because you have to have protein to heal. The link I gave says 72g, which is a good start, but if you can push that up closer to 100g/day so much the better. Once you can tolerate the shakes well, another good first food is greek yogurt (blended, no chunks of fruit). You also need to be getting LOTS of fluids in - Water, broth, gatorade, popsicles, sugar-free Jello, etc. Anything that is liquid at room temperature and you can generally see through it counts. Recommended amounts vary, but a generally good rule is a goal of 64oz/day, increasing it as you can to 100+/day. Then add foods ONE AT A TIME, starting with things that are liquid, and VERY SLOWLY working toward pureed foods. Add a new food for a couple of days and make sure it's sitting well with you before you add the next. I hate that you had no education and no good followup. Right now you need to focus on three things: get a local doctor, get your protein in, and get your fluids in.

I used a minichopper - looks like a tiny food processor and only costs about $10. Pureed either canned tuna, chicken or salmon with about a tablespoon of plain nonfat greek yogurt. I really liked the flavored pouches of tuna and salmon for this. I lived on that during pureed stage. The ricotta bake is good also. And cottage cheese - no need to puree that just chew it well.

My surgery is in a week and I'm supposed to have my pre-op appointment tomorrow. I've been battling with the doctor's office this whole time (A YEAR!!) in regards to getting people to call me back and get stuff done. My surgery has been pushed back months past what it should have been because of this. I've called all week trying to find out what time my pre-op is tomorrow. I was simply told two weeks ago that it was Thursday. I had to get mean with the little receptionist this morning, poor girl, it's not her fault, but i have to know! Thankfully I stay home and homeschool my daughter so I can go whenever but come on! Anyway, I'm a huge ball of nerves to be honest. Today starts the 4 Protein Shakes a day and I can't stand them any longer (been drinking them for months). I'm eating mostly Oikos Triple Zero yogurt since it has tons of Protein and tastes a million times better. My daughter's 8th birthday is Sunday and we are having a party so I have that to deal with on top of nerves. I'm also dealing with a esophagus that isn't working properly so I'm not sure if I will be switching to bypass or able to stay with a sleeve. I suppose I won't find out until tomorrow. I'm just hoping they don't push my surgery back. I'm so extremely over this. I think most of my nerves are finding out if I am actually having surgery next week or if something else pushes it back. Ugh! Sorry guys, this has just been such a major roller coaster over the last year and the end is in sight..or is it?

Que cirujia te hicieron un sleeve? Depende la.cirujia que te hayan hecho es lo q puedes ir incorporando. Se supone que puedas comer yogurt, caldos, mucha agua, nada con dulces, natilla, gelatina y cositas q sean faciles de tragar a los 15 dias puedes empezar con puree mas fuertes como de papa y de algun tipo de verduras o sopas pasadas x batidora. El dolor los primeros dias es bien fuerte. Pero yo tu buscaria un dr aca en usa para q te cheque pq no es normal. Y x supuesto tus vitaminas al dia los parches d aqui son buenos cuando no soportas nada en el estomago. No comas nada picante ni salsas q pueden irritarte mucho y no ayudarte en tu recuperacion Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App

Not loosing on pre op diet
ambernoel replied to ambernoel's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon doesn't require me to be on all liquids at all- I was advised to have a Protein shake for Breakfast Greek yogurt with 1 oz nuts for snack 3 oz lean protein and unlimited non starchy veggies for lunch either 1 medium fruit or another shake for snack and 6 oz of lean protein and unlimited non starchy veggies for dinner if my second snack was a piece of fruit then I would need my second shake after dinner- I personally am picking to do the liquid diet because I feel the results are better for reductions to the liver- So I wouldn't really say inneed to re-evaluate myself - I ate one healthy meal over the last ten days-- Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Hello there. I was 80 pounds overweight and adding up a couple more by week, in six months I was diagnosed with diabetes and glaucoma. The I knew i was over 100 pounds overweight with high blood pressure and ketoasidosis due to diabetes. . I was in pain in my body every time I started to walk. So I was looking for a gastric sleeve surgery and find this Mexican Facebook group that performed, I had my labs done, and doc. Time that I had to Control my sugar level and A1c. So my US. Doc prescribe Victoza, after a week I went back to the Mexican doc. And he ask me I I could pay for the surgery that moment, and I did. So he scheduled me for THE FOLLOWING DAY!! It was a red flag but I was so excited. I could picture myself with no pain an new clothes.. after surgery was the most horrible pain I can describe. Nurses ask me to take a shower, an the pain was agonizing but I did, after the thrd day I was allowed to drain Water, but the pain was getting worse by the day, and I was terrorized to vomiting. I had terrible stomach spasms and episodes of painful heart tachycardia, with all that I was released and send back home . I was instructured to have one chamomile tea, one cup of sweet nectar apricot a s 4 oz of yellow for a week. After 3 day at home I pass out and was rush to the hospital. The cat scan showed that the drain was between muscle skin and ribs. And I had hipokalmia, a condition were your potasion drops down to a dangerous label. US Doc. Told me that I was 'about to drop dead'from heart failure. I went back to Mex. As soon as I was released from hospital. And they are denying any responsibility. But the doctor mention to me that I can have. Soup with vegetables. And continue the liquid diet. Boy I don't trust much!!. I have learn in this group that . That thereare 3 diet steps or 3 lebels?. Please. What a regular diet for a single day could I have and for how long?? I had my surgery on the 16. Out of the icu on the 22. . The soup with veggies make me sick. It had to be just clear. Friends are helping me suggesting foods but I learn through this group I shouldn't been eating yogurt. My surgery was live broadcasts and is still at the group of this Mexican doctor. By the way. I am Mexican too. So please be easy on me. Thank you for the help Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App

So I'm not worried but have a question
MTWilliams replied to MTWilliams's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That may be your doc's program, but not necessarily the OP's or anyone else's. Your program may call for liquids exclusively for two weeks, while others may do it for three or four weeks, or just one week or none at all - it depends upon the doc's experiences and sometimes individual patient needs and tolerances. For instance, my program was for purees and soft Proteins like eggs, yogurt, some seafoods along with liquids from the outset, with the caveat being that if something wasn't tolerated then back up a step to other foods that are tolerated and try again in a couple of weeks. Some wind up being more liquid intense than others for a while depending upon their individual needs. From what I have seen, more programs are heading this direction as more surgeons get more sleeve experience. This is what makes it difficult to give much specific advice to people on these forums beyond coordinating with their surgical team, who they (or their insurance) paid to provide such advice and support. To the OP, no it's not normal to have stomach pain while eating, tho some foods may cause some discomfort which is a warning sign to back off and take things a little slower. Try new things one at a time and in small quantity to test your tolerance for them, If they go through well then fine, add that to your menu; if not then try it again in a few weeks and go with something known for the moment. Yes, what u have written here makes sense. I can't imagine a life with no Beans lol. I'm just not ready to get rid of beans even if for a week. I'm Mexican and beans are my life lol. Jk. But I guess I have to prepare myself for the possibility that my stomach my not be able to tolerate them anymore. Thanks for the advice. I'm going to step away from the beans for about 3 days and see if that helps. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App -
Corn flakes are straight up carbs. Avoid them if at all possible. They are not setting you up for success. I mashed the fish with a fork and chewed well. You can also look up a recipe for Greek yogurt "mayonnaise" that will help it go down smoother. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App

Travus Carlo Arcamone posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am Scheduled for surgery on December 12 and have been on the pre op diet for two days now. Im just curious to know what everyones pre op diet was? My doctor gave me a list that said 3 protein shakes a day, ans then all of the fruit juice i can drink as long as no sugar added, all the broth i want, sugar free applesauce, pudding, and jello, and low fat cottage cheese and greek yogurt. I just want to know if that sounds like a normal pre op diet to anyone because i thought it would be just liquids and no fruitjuice. thank you -

Lordy, my surgeon is slower than any other one I've seen so far. Clear liquids & protein shakes for FOUR weeks, with light yogurt (no fruit) and sugar-free pudding added in on week three.
