Goood morning everyone! Yesterday was an emotional day for me, many "breaks" were needed to regain composure BUT I made it with a lot of love and support from my husband, kiddos, family and friends. You are all such an amazing group of people!!! Yesterday was a good day in regards to staying with my plan, I had some variations to what I posted basically eating 6 small meals throughout the day, the last one being at 9pm because that's when we got home from Disney on Ice and I was STARVING. Other than that I stayed under my target calorie count of 1338 and consumed 1290. Water was on point, no exercise, NO TREATS! This not weighing thing is a double edged sword. I felt so free this morning knowing that I wasn't going to step on that thing and let it determine my day, but I'm also going crazy wondering what's happening and heck it's only day 2 not much could've possible happened:-) Taking it in stride though! Today's plan will go SOMETHING like this. It's going to be another busy day so it may vary but I will stay on plan. Today is Grandparents Day at my daughters pre-school so they're having a little program, I can't tell you how much I love these! Any way back to my plan: Again variations so wanting to stay at 1200 or under for the day. B: Yogurt & Trail Mix 250 cal 17P L: Not sure to be honest will aim to keep it around 300 cal S: If needed Protein Bar 160 cal 20p D: Skinny chicken Casserole: 250 cal approx. 29 p S: Skinny Cow Ice Cream- 160 cal 80 oz of water. I will try to get some form of movement in. Cal 1120 Approx. 81 P Talk about holding someone accountable, my son said hey mommy were not doing a very good job at doing that exercise video every night like you said you wanted to....wawawa. Let's DO THIS!:-)

Today is going to be a great day because I'm going to make it one! Taking the kiddos tonight to see Disney on Ice, not sure who's more excited them or me:-) Probably will grab a quick dinner on the way there, probably Wendy's so no problem I will just work it into my "plan" for today (which as you can see below is really under-developed). My goal is not to go over 1338 cal. for today. 88 oz of Water and I will try for those darn stairs again. Yesterday I got pulled into a meeting that went a lot longer than expected so the stairs didn't happen. However, today, I think the stairs and moving around as much as possible will help me get through this day with a smile. Today's plan B: Yogurt & trail mix- 250 cal 17p L: Not sure something light and low cal- try not to exceed 250 cal- maybe another jimmy johns unwich for 170 cal 22p (although yesterday the lettuce didn't seem to go down as normal.) D: Wendy's 4pc spicy chicken nuggets 170 cal 10p S: For Disney on Ice- Protein Bar 160 cal 20p I'm going to try and "save" some of my calories in case something unexpected comes along so I don't blow it out of the water and if nothing unexpected comes along well then I'll just add that as a win and hopefully this will assist in my weigh-in next Friday:-) Let's continue moving forward, no looking back, full speed ahead with our heads held high, shoulders back, smile on, working it! We should all remember how awesome we are and that just because we hit a bump now and then, that doesn't change a thing, we all get up and we're back at it today and that's ALL that matters! We don't have to be perfect to be successful! What is perfection any way?? I don't know because I've never seen it! 1-2-3 BREAK!

I would guess you are not consuming enough calories. My body shuts down and wont drop weight. For that reason I have been making my protein shakes with Nf milk & adding a little Greek yogurt for more protein & a little fat. Maybe ask your Dr if you can add strained cream soups or mushies Hang in there:)

Greek Yogurt and Cottage Cheese???
emily_0192010 replied to ashleyc's topic in Regular foods (stage 4)
It is very mild, i guess similar to mozzarella cheese. Without anything added in it is not sweet, sour or tangy. It is very neutral which is why some people like it paired with fruit and jellies or jams, while other people (me!) like it with salty stuff like crackers. Now, unlike cream cheese or yogurt it is not a smooth texture but I really like it that way. Just try it! If you don't like it then you know -

ChiNaDoll2285 replied to ChiNaDoll2285's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I love.... I mean LOVE ice cream.... I found an ATKINS fudge yogurt bar. I cheat 😢 but once I get my fix, I'm ok to go back to my Fiber, Blah, blah, blah.... It's the chewing slowly that's killing me. I fight w myself. I give myself a good cussing out to stick to this new habit. 😲 I'm dedicated & it's really a mental adjustment. So for everyone who's gone through this and just starting .... good luck!! I'm right behind y'all (fingers crossed) Any suggestions on CHEWABLE VITAMINS? Pre & Post. -
GETTING DOWN TO IT
Stella S replied to Graciela Garcia's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't think I've ever met anyone that regretted it. Almost 2 years out and I still keep my protein up. Mostly nonfat plain Greek yogurt, fish, nuts,, and my standard morning breakfast two pieces of string cheese. I do cook but with limited time sometimes I only need convenience There are a gazillion recipes out there and you will find what works for you. Just keep your protein up and enjoy the ride it will be smooth bumpy Smith bumpy [emoji12] -

Rough day with some buyer's remorse moments. I haven't felt even close to decent since the surgery. I am living on sugar free Popsicles and tiny sips of water. The spoonful of yogurt I tried made me miserable. I managed a short walk around the block. I've only lost 6 lbs since surgery. Please tell me this gets better because I feel horrible. -

I'm able to move onto mushy foods tomorrow. I am so scared to. I don't want to get stuck, sick, bust anything....although, I'm excited to move onto something other than broth and jello! What was your first mushy food? I'm looking forward to refried beans with cheese....oh and yogurt, for some reason! -
Help, Please.
Lovergurl replied to Deleted Account's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
You should try without the yogurt and the banana and the protein bar if it has high carbs. My Dr has me on the Atkins phase 1 and it's working. I did have one last "weekend" of splurging but then got to business at the two month point. My attitude is this is my new life. I better get used to it. I do drink a lot of water. Still having a morning coffee with just cream. And, I'm having lots of veggies if I'm craving a bit less protein. Cravings are gone. I'm staying at about 1200 cal a day. YES that tired feeling is there, its the lack of carbs. But it seems to be just in the morning. By the end of the day, I have plenty of energy. But bed time comes and I am out like a light, getting plenty of sleep. There could be a dozen different things to cause you to not lose. Try more protein, more movement, more water. But the one guy is right. Read what he is saying not how he is saying it. You have to get through this rough patch to prepare yourself for surgery. It's important to lower your risks and that needs to be your focus. One step at a time. -
Your proteins shake if you are allowed, with yogurt and frozen fruit blended together......nice thicker consistency, may keep your hunger at bay...good luck!

Anyone Banded in Saranac Lake, NY??
Neenco replied to blondie13654's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Yes, Albany Medical Center and as I got reading through the thread, I began to wonder what AMC meant for you. At Albany Medical Center we were given the Mediterrenean Diet. They teach us to each normal foods pre-op so we know how to each post op, after initial post-op diet. Post op was 1 week of clear liquids, 1 week of full liquids like tomato soup, then 2 weeks of mushies, like yogurt and cottage cheese and probably something else.....but I'm too tired to remember right now. If you provide me with an email address, I'll be glad to email you the pre-op diet we were given and any info I can find on the post-op diet. The biggest thing I still struggle with after 11 months is to remember to eat slowly and chew my food. I still have to make choices that are good for myself, so I don't eat junk food. For dinner, I had 1/2 ham sandwich, 1/2 c low fat yogurt and 1/2 c low fat cottage cheese & 1/2 c grapes. It's really a lot food and a nice variety. Hopefully you have support groups up north.....we have them weekly for general weight lose surgery, so it includes bandsters and bypassers and monthly we have a lapband group. I do as many of them as my schedule allows, because the support post-op is very important. Get me an email address and I'll be glad to email whatever I can get my hands on. Thanks for writing! Stay in touch. -Dineen :thumbup: -
How Much And What Were You Eating At 2 Months Post Vsg?
kayte819 replied to Sleeved&Hopeful's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel compelled to add that I struggle with getting all my protein in still & am unable & unwilling to give up my coffee!! Most days.I.drink one shake & eat one protein bar but today I just haven't been hungry at all so I've forced everything I can in....I'm a puker unfortunately so I can't push too much or I am sick & miserable! I do drink water all day. I cannot stomach eggs & peanut butter sticks in my throat & I throw up which really sucks!!! I eat a ton of fish & seafood. Little to no chicken, beef, etc because I can't seem to get it down. I looooove seared ahi & eat it almost every other day, if not more often. It's my favorite! Smokes salmon, cream cheese & capers on whole wheat flat bread is my go-to lunch. Yum! I also eat Greek yogurt w/ berries a lot. Ok, done!! -
Probiotics For Constipation?
Chelenka replied to gamergirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try adding some fat to your diet as well. I eat avocado and use olive oil. The activia greek yogurt has too much sugar if you buy the flavored kind. I haven't seen it plain. I like Fage 2% myself. -

Struggling truck driver post op
heidikat72 replied to LadiiReignBeau's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I would definitely suggest the pouches of tuna and salmon. They have some great flavors, no refrigeration required and no can opener needed! Most of the ones I've tried have about 13-15 grams of Protein per 2.6 oz pouch. Keep some bottled Water with you and maybe the Syntrax nectar Protein powder - fruity flavors that go well dissolved in water? And the cooler sounds like a great idea for keeping some cottage cheese and greek yogurt, maybe some laughing cow cheese wedges etc. -
Struggling truck driver post op
FrankyG replied to LadiiReignBeau's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Can't stop off at a WalMart that has a grocery? They are usually near freeways, HUGE parking lots where you can park a semi or large truck for a few minutes - just park it a bit away and get some walking in to boot. Check out the deli counter and surrounding area where you could get meats, chicken salad, or Soups. There is also lots of small containers of yogurt, cottage cheese, cheese sticks... Any IHOP, Cracker Barrel, or Denny's restaurant can do up some scrambled eggs with cheese (and later sausage/bacon). I ate that for Breakfast and lunch. And most of those places serve soups too. And definitely pack a cooler or fridge installed if you'd like to save money or time. Love the idea of getting a small one that runs off of the truck's electrical. -
If you are arriving the night before your surgery, you are allowed clear fluids and protein shake. FYI The shakes they sell at the airport is very high in sugar! On the way back I bought a Greek yogurt with fruit, but didn't eat the fruit. I couldn't find plain ones. You will be surprised you won't be able to finish 2 spoons so you will end up throwing out the rest. Also ask for water and or half apple juice half water on the plain. I also got electrolyte drink from Walmart and took it through security. I just explained that I had surgery and they took it tested it and brought it back to me. Make sure you get up and walk during your flight I got up and looked funny because my back was not straight. Hope that helps. Oh and a very small pillow to support your tummy that helps a lot
