How do you take medication post op?
RonnieBob replied to bostonmama's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was advised to take them with unsweetened applesauce, however, I soon began to add them to Oikos Triple Zero Greek Yogurt and that added an extra 15 grams of Protein in the morning and another 15 grams in the evening. I have a mix of pills with some needing to be taken in the morning and others at night before I go to bed. -
This is that time post op when everything begins to change. Firstly the first 6 months portions change from 1/2 cup to more like 3/4 to a full cup. In addition you begin to recognize slider foods. I am two years post op and usually consume 1 cup to 1 1/2 cups of food depending on what I am eating. I can eat more salad than meat but meat keeps me fuller longer even though i eat less of it. The things that fill me up and keep me full longest is: Full fat cheese lunch meats Dense meat like chicken breast and fish Nuts - however just a 1/4 cup and no more Cottage cheese Raw veggies and full fat ranch dip Salad with Protein on top like chicken or cottage cheese Foods that seem to slip right through Yogurt Protein shakes Any carb items that I shouldn't have anyway and try to avoid pudding Every once in a while I have a bowl of Cereal and talk about being hungry again in 20 minutes.....i keep that to maybe once a week if that.

Beware.....scolding in progress. Here's the thing, you just had major surgery on your stomach. No matter how bad the head hunger is, do you really think eating chocolate at all is wise a few days after surgery? I am guessing your answer is no or you would not be on here in scared mode. Honestly you should be scared. You should pick up the phone and immediately call your therapist. Having WLS is 90% head, 10% if that surgery. You can eat around your surgery from day one. and if you do, why bother going through all the pre work and pain? That is called self destruction and you need to get a handle on it now. For me, sugars cravings have never gone away. I have had to learn to deal with this. Sometimes you give in and have something but never ever just when you get home from the hospital. Lastly I would say that baby food does not have the nutrition that homemade prepared purees have. Not to mention they taste like crap unless you are eating all the fruits which have carbs in them. Why not simply make some of your own purees, eat greek yogurt, cottage cheese, Protein shakes, ricotta bake. There are a ton of bariatric friendly pureed stage options available on pinterest. I really wish you the best but you are definately going to need some help to get your head hunger under control. When those cravings come up the best thing you can do is try to get your mind off of it. Firstly, you cannot possibly be feeling real hunger at this stage. Dehydration mimics hunger for us. So if you feel it keep sipping your approved liquids until that feeling goes away. If you have met your liquid goals and still feel that way, you are likely feeling some reflux if you are a sleeve patient. If not those two things it is definately head hunger and you need some coping mechanisms. I use distraction techniques....go wash dishes, do some laundry, take a shower, do something with your hands like crafts - knitting, crocheting....etc. get your mind off of food. Lastly do NOT watch food porn shows or commercials, they can make head hunger terrible. Go see a therapist they will provide lost of techniques and get at the bottom of why you are already self sabotaging.

Questions to the ones who Had GASTRIC BYPASS!
spdmonkeymama replied to Missbeauty16's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I'm still waiting for approval and my date too.. I'm not "freaking out" exactly but the thoughts have been in the back of my mind.. But Monday I started a 2 wk preop diet the doc wants me to do for 4 weeks and it's not going so bad.. I have a very small selection I can chose 6 serv a day from.. But no meat.. Drinking all my Protein.. I figure I quit cigz cold turkey because I want this that bad.. I got this! And I feel like reading these forums have helped me wrap my head more around it already.. WE got this! Munky I had a very similar pre op. 4 Protein shakes a day 6 servings of : yogurt, applesauce, sf pudding, oatmeal, v8 juice. Then unlimited non starchy veggies and 80 Oz fluids. As far as gas pains go I had some of the worst. They got stuck in my ribs and didn't want to move. I am now dealing with some major back pain that has sidelined me the last 2 days. I'm 4 weeks post op As far as hunger goes I'm dealing with a lot of head hunger and wanting to push myself faster to healing. I've been allowed to resume working out slowly. But I have to consume more than 800 calories a day to workout. With the pain I'm not getting in nearly as much as I need. Sent from my SGH-M919 using the BariatricPal App -
Is that something you can get at the grocery? Haven't seen them yet, would be interested to try them. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Yes, at the grocery. I'm still trying to find protein I can tolerate. Greek yogurt is definitely a good source. I also use chicken Soup unjury. Everything else tastes like a sickly sweet vomit. Makes me nauseous as soon as it hits my stomach. I have nectar coming. Fingers crossed.

I've noticed that I feel hungry a lot. I'm 6 month post op RNY. I used to drink a Protein powder with milk and coffee in the morning but I've switched to having an egg with toast or yogurt with fruit, etc. but I've noticed I've been snacking a lot and I'm nervous about my increased appetite. What are some suggestions for foods that keep you feeling full? I actually consumed 1700 calories yesterday vs my average 900-1100 calories. Yikes! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Unless you have complications there is no reason you *need* to follow up with a bariatric surgeon. I don't know anyone who had surgery in Mexico who does. The standard advice I have seen is to see your PCP at 2 months, 6 months, and 12 months post-op. Have your regular blood and urine tests as well as vitamin and mineral levels checked. Weight and blood pressure checked and recorded. The lab work, without insurance, is what may kill you cost-wise. You may need to do some serious shopping around for that, but it's important. As far as food goes, I'm not much help as I tend to focus on eating for nutrition rather than to stave off boredom. I really don't care if I eat the same things over and over again, so I don't ever really think about "new ideas" for food. That said, here's mostly what I ate during weight loss phase: breakfast: chicken or beef roll-ups in romaine lettuce (with pickle relish, hot mustard, etc.) lunch: chopped chicken breast with green veggies and a little light salad dressing dinner: poached egg on refried beans, tuna salad bake, lamb chops, steamed curried scallops, steamed cayenne pepper shrimp, chicken breast baked in yogurt, turkey-spinach-goat cheese burger patty, sardines in mustard. Good luck!

How do you take medication post op?
elizabetholiver replied to bostonmama's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 3.5 weeks out and can swallow small pills. I first started with cutting them in half. I couldn't stand crushing them. I have one that i have to open (capsule) and i mix it in lemonade. You could also try mixing it into applesauce, yogurt, Jello, etc liz -
Well, glad to hear you are doing so well. In terms of Protein there are other ways to get it besides meat. Try Beans, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, Protein shakes. When you do try meats, make sure they are really moist and chew well. Take small bites. For me fish and chicken were the two meat items that worked the easiest but I had to cook them just to done and not over cook. Lastly its good that you cannot eat rice, Pasta or bread. They will actually stall you. You should be staying away from those items at least until you hit goal and then introduce them back slowly and minimally. For your carbs you should be focuse on veggies and a small amount of fruit.

What do you eat when you're sick?

Yogurt is good for all kinds of stomach/digestive troubles. That tends to be what I turn to when not feeling up to par. -
Crushing medications
WLSResources/ClothingExch replied to lvmyrottnlab's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You won't be able to do this immediately after surgery, but when you are cleared for sugar-free applesauce, it works pretty well. Same for a little yogurt or cottage cheese once you're cleared for those. Sorry, no cheerful suggestion from me for when you're on liquids only. Maybe you can mix Crystal Light or similar product into the Water. It still won't be fun, but perhaps better than plain water. Or any of the other liquids (but not hot ones). Some prescriptions should not be crushed or, in the case of capsules, opened. Check with your pharmacist about each of yours. If you get "Don't do it" as an answer, talk to your prescribing doctor(s). They may tell you it's okay to stop whichever drug for a short time. -
Hi all I'm still in the hospital hoping to leave later today as I needed a little attention due to type 1 diabetes and kidney failure but the thing is I'm starved. I have no trouble drinking soup, yogurt a container and even a Protein shake. After I'm content but not full and feel like I could eat again. Any suggestions Has anyone tried applesauce? Did that make you dump? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Do any of you vets completely ignore this rule?
Joy@boman replied to tenseintexas's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
As far as "fake sugars go" isnt there just as much in the premade Protein drinks, diet puddings, and other sugar free things. Sugar free anything makes me sick so I am panicked as to how I am going to choke down these Protein shakes and yogurts. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

@rososmom7, thank you. I do 2 Premier Protein shakes a day; one vanilla mixed in my coffee in the morning, then another midmorning to hold me until lunch, so that's 60 grams there from 5:30 a.m.-9:30 a.m. I have a 20 oz Poland Spring mixed with Crystal light after that, so 2 shakes, coffee, and Water gets me to 50 oz of water. I really try to hit my water goal by lunch so I'm not going to the bathroom all night later on! Breakfast today was on the road, Dunkin Donuts' Wake Up Wrap (peeled off 1/3 of outer white tortilla.) Lunch was 8 oz high Protein vanilla yogurt, about 2 oz granola, 1/4 cup raspberries. dinner was a grass fed uncured jalapeño cheddar bratwurst, LOL.

Pre op diet misery, cheat and allergies
Butterflywarrior posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
So my sleeve surgery is Monday but my very limited pre op diet of seven days gas been awful. I knew aspartame gave me mugraines so avoided that ingredient but got primere with sucralose and popsicles with the same as well as crystal light pure made with truvia which is stevia and a sugar alcohol My tummy has been hurting every day. I finally ate a bite of my mom's veggie omelette and was told if my blood sugar went hypo I could eat yogurt so my blood sugar wasn't quite hypo and I had nonfat Greek honey yogurt. Sure felt better but felt so guilty for cheating and like hope I'm not messing up my stomach prep for surgery Last night after crystal light pure, I threw up once with six episodes all this foamy stuff. Sorry tmi. Number two s been all the runs as well so called weight clinic nurse and they are having me quit all artificial sweeteners as they and I feel they are the culprit and allowing me Protein powder...found one with 25grams of protein and sweet with stevia which is a nature made plant and I can have it in skim milk!!!! Yay So stomach is already way happier and tge Protein Powder taste good not chalky Anyone else with similar problems... cheating, malabsorption??etc?? -
First day of mushy foods
Bufflehead replied to itzbrittaanyx3's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@nikko9599 the slimies are when your mouth and throat start producing tons of clear slimey liquid like you might do right before you throw up -- but instead of throwing up, you just keep producing slimey fluid. Enough to hack mouthfuls and mouthfuls and gobs and gobs into the nearest toilet. You will also likely feel extremely nauseated, weak, and completely exhausted. It's hard to describe but when it happens to you, you know something is completely wrong and you feel miserable. People tend to get the slimies if they eat too much, too fast, or the wrong texture of food. I only got them twice -- once when I overate the yogurt I mentioned and another time when I stupidly took a mineral supplement pill on an empty stomach. Believe me, when/if it happens to you, you will never want it again! -
First day of mushy foods
Bufflehead replied to itzbrittaanyx3's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No, it isn't bad at all. Don't push yourself to eat more than you want. 4 oz is a maximum, not a minimum. If I had tried to eat 4 ounces of ricotta cheese on my first day of purees I would have been in extreme agony. I used the wrong measuring spoon accidentally on my second day and ate 2 oz. of Greek yogurt instead of allotted maximum of 1.5 ounces and got the slimies as a result. When you are satisfied, stop! If you get to your allotted maximum of food and don't feel satisfied, stop anyway! Do not try to look for the "full" feeling or eat so much that you irritate your vagus nerve and get something like a runny nose or the hiccups. Stop before you get there. These guidelines will serve you well, I promise. -
I think alot of it just different doctor preferences. I had surgery on a friday went hom sat night. Doc told.me i could very soft foods monday. I eat chili, eggs, yogurt for a week. My check up he said i could start eatting small bites of any meat just chew very well. Ive had zero complications no sickness and 6 weeks out today and lost 62 lbs. So dont be afraid to eat little things just small bites, chew ALOT, and most importantly dont over eat Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Taking crushed pills - any advice

How long after u eat do u wait to go to bed? My dr said after eating anything I should not sleep until an hour at least and if I drink even a sip of Water I need to stay up for half n hour before sleeping... I've had severe gerd issues before the surgery so I'm trying to stay away from any refluxes as well... also avoid anything spicy... even if u take any medicine or anything wait for an hour to sleep and since ur having issues right now elevate ur head while sleeping... and have more yogurt ... I had my surgery on 27/09 so I'm still fresh but this is what I used to do when I used to get gerd Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
