And So Our Journey Begins...
MistyAnnMoon829 replied to MistyAnnMoon829's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Same weight today, peeps. Hopefully this is the longest stall that I have. I guess since everything else about my surgery has been picture perfect that I needed to have something to make it not 100% awesome. Tried the Dannon Light/Fit Greek yogurt, in Orange Cream and it was pretty decent. All my past experiences with greek yogurt had been terrible so that was a relief. Took me an hour just to eat 1. Then about an hour later I had some tuna so that I could up my Protein intake with out drinking a shake. I need to increase my protein, I think I will be going back to 2 shakes a day and a meal somewhere in there. -
And So Our Journey Begins...
VSGAnn2014 replied to MistyAnnMoon829's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I think I'm doing great! Today is Day Seven post-op for me. Came home from hospital Day One post-op. Had my WTF?! day on Day Two. Was over all that by Day Three. Finally hit 60 grams of protein on Day Four -- will hit 74 grams of protein today. Have been sleeping well, and surgery gas is mostly gone. Am walking for exercise a bit. Have had some very energetic days (laundry, light housekeeping, exercise, grooming like a teenager, etc.) alternated with days when I nap a lot. No pain, although some occasional tummy soreness. The biggest surprise for me is that I can drink (better every day) and eat yogurt and soup just fine. I burp sometimes, but I have had zero nausea and haven't thrown up at all. Oh, and I'm down 5 pounds from pre-op. So that's -11 pounds dieting on my own earlier this summer, -8 pounds on pre-op diet, and -5 pounds since surgery = -24 pounds below my highest ever. Have my first surgeon visit this coming Thursday. That will be Day Ten. I'm on my way. -

Good news, my stall finally broke. I am now 259. Amen, hallelujah, I can see the light, lol. It was a shock. I only stepped on the scale today out of habit rather than making it a priority. So I lost 1.5 lbs overnight. I'm so pleased. Nothing else to report really. I tried carne asada last night, with some cheese, avocado, and sour cream. It was delicious and my tummy handled it fine as usual. It still took about an hour to eat. I also put two of my greek yogurts in the freezer so I will have some froyo for dessert tonight. -
I'm doing great too! Five weeks tomorrow, down 20.4 pounds with 45 to go (SW 200 GW 135). Feel basically normal, I just can only eat a little amount of any real food. I usually get in 65-90 grams of protein, but only if I drink a protein shake or protein fruit punch everyday. It's almost impossible to do it with chicken, fish, beans and dairy. I suppose Greek yogurt could get me there, I just like to not overdo dairy.

I want to practice 100 mg protein
catwoman7 replied to tarathorn87's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I get over 100 grams in every day. It's not that hard if you focus on protein first and have protein at every meal. I'll usually have Greek yogurt in some form for breakfast, often a protein shake as a mid-morning snack, something like cottage cheese or a couple of chicken skewers for lunch, some other kind of protein as a mid-afternoon snack (a couple of baby bell cheese things, or light & fit yogurt), then usually meat and vegetables for dinner (I really don't need the mid-morning protein shake to get over 100 - but it guarantees that I do, and then I don't have to think about getting in all my protein for the rest of the day - by adding a shake, I know I'll be over 100 by the end of the day. Plus, I'm one of those who happens to like protein shakes...) -
Lap Band With Gastric Plication
Short and Chunky replied to Calamity Jane's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
LadyScorpio = I am so sorry about your parents. I know (from experience) how hard this is. You are doing fine. Hang in there and be as strong as possible (you have no choice). As for your weight. You have to take care of yourself too. You are no good to your parents, your family or yourself if you don't. Try to plan just a bit. If you have to grab fast food - eat the hamburger w/o the bread. Get the side order of apples or a fruit cup maybe even the yogurt. I know it is not perfect and not totally on "the plan" (my doctor is no carbs) but it is better than eating onion rings and a McDouble! Also, keep a bottle of Water with you at all times, that way you will get in your liquids. I am an emotional eater and nothing calms me like sweets and carbs - this is a rough time for you and you don't want to find comfort in food - I know that is easier said than done, but try..Stay on this site - you know we are all here for you and I will keep you and your parents in my prayers.

grats babygrl :confused: you are doing great! LapBandit, it is not dorky at all, I think it's nice. As for me, I had a bad spell with a pill last night and now today everything hurts to eat, slimed once, no PB's. I think it's liquids for me for a few days. I swell so easy. I am gonna have to get my hubby to pick me up some rtd protien shakes from the store. I do love the atkins shakes. What a time to run out of protein! Anyway, it was hard to even eat yogurt tonight so it's definitely liquids. Does anyone think it's possible I have something lodged in the stoma? I'd think if I did I'd be PB'ing like crazy.

Feeling Great! (8 days post op)
Cinderella replied to buchannon's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
HOORAY!! I'm so glad to hear that you're feeling so well after eight days.... wait another week and you'll feel ready to go out dancing! Get used to having one small yogurt fill you up... I'm nearly 3 weeks out and can just eat the teeniest amounts of anything... a few bites does it. I am sick to death of the mushies... ate a lot of "bites" of yogurt, cottage cheese, and mashed potatoes.... that was about all I could stand. I feel luckiy that we both got sleeved during the "fat season," we are being saved from the holiday goodies!! Keep up the good work... Cinderella -
How do you know when you overeat?
MissErika replied to MissErika's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for replying! I did drink after eating soon-ish and it felt like a gas pain and passed after a few seconds. I forgot about that! I try not to bother my surgeon much - but my nurse said I must be doing everything right if I don't get sick or anything. You know, the small bites, chewing constantly and waiting in between. I guess I am just nervous because I had a slider and I had quite a bit! I guess I should just stop having soft foods (like yogurt and soup) but I enjoy them once and awhile, but they don't fill me up... :/ -
Jan 13, 2014 Sleeved Friends
hazeleyeflgal replied to MJM2012's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I started my chewable vitamins on Monday. I get them from the doctor and they include everything I need except I need to supplement with extra Vitamin D. I'll start on soft foods this Sunday. It will be nice not to have to blend everything. That gets old. I've got some unflavored protein powder and I mix that in with sugar free pudding or in yogurt, etc. It doesn't change the flavor that much and it's a way to get it in. You could mix it into soup also. The Pure Protein drinks are good too. I like the chocolate. You can get them from Sams or Costco and I think even some of the grocery stores and pharmacies sell them in smaller packs. -
Where do you shop for your vitamins, protein powders and other supplies?
Veronda replied to Dub's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Amazon and costco are my besties!! I am extremely choosy, and I dislike EVERY Protein shake. I replaced Protein shakes with Oikos Triple Zero Greek yogurt (120 calories, 15g protein), but you'll have to check with your nutritionist if that's okay pre/post-op. I seem to be like the ONLY one who hates protein shakes so much. Costco does have Premier at a great price, but Walmart also usually has 4-packs if you want to sample (the price is not nearly as good). My nutritionist also had samples of items. I have spent a FORTUNE trying to find one I like, and there are just none that I like. As for Vitamins, I get most of mine between Amazon and Costco. Costco has great prices on sublingual B12, Biotin, and Iron (and I also bought chewable vit C to help iron absorption). On Amazon I got a multi called Vita-Mini at an exceptional price, but they don't seem to be available now (I ordered several but will be sad if they don't come back in stock when I need more)...they are super-tiny swallowable tabs as I hate chewables. I also got Calcium citrate in powder form from Amazon, again because I don't like the chalky chewables. My nutritionist also recommended Citrical Petites for people who don't like the chews. I have found that Costco and Amazon are far better priced than even Target and Walmart. Know that products that are specifically marketed for bariatric patients tend to be very heavily marked up, and for the most part you can avoid them unless you really don't want to. -

calling all December 19th sleevers
baileymedlin24 replied to newmein2017's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My daily menu is nothing exciting. I usually have a protein shake and a half, and then something of the soup variety for dinner. I've been digging light creamy soups, because they have a lot of flavor. I don't think I've been doing 64 g and 64 ounces, but I've been doing about 50. That's what my doctor suggested. I have my 10 day postop tomorrow, and I'm probably going to be cleared for soft foods. I can't wait! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App When you have soup how much do you usually have? Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App I can drink 8oz of broth now. Been primarily living on Premier Protein shakes, broth with protein added, G2 drink, crystal light. I've had yogurt once, still not something I actually like, and I've had cottage cheese and refried Beans with plain greek yogurt mixed in. On christmas I did have two spoons of mashed potatoes drenched in turkey juice and a shred of turkey that I chewed to death. I also have chewed some string cheese into mush too. I know these things aren't on my current list, but I'm careful to not swallow anything until it's mush. My doctor said I could have a scrambled egg with cheese on day 10! whoohoo.. and if that goes well I could also try some fish. She seems to be less strict on the stages than I see in other programs. My doctor seems to be a little less strict too, and I'm pretty excited about it. Supposed to get the OK tomorrow to move onto soft foods. I'm glad you didn't have any problems with those foods, makes me excited for tomorrow! Enjoy your scrambled egg! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
October GS Pals?..
lindsaygotsleeved replied to rensterness85's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
bnape, I'm actually starting my preop diet 2 weeks early, because I also have a fatty liver and want to shrink it as much as possible before surgery. So I'm doing two Protein shakes, and some other high protein/low fat Snacks (jerky, LF mozz cheese, LF greek yogurt) and a meal of lean protein and veggies. Hoping to lose a good bit of weight before surgery, too. Hopefully 15 lbs isn't too idealistic -
BG- Yes, veggie kabobs are awesome! You start spinning classes next week, too??? So do I!!! I can't wait!!! I'm taking two classes, though...because each are only one day a week and I think that is just not enough for me! ZZ - Yeah, I have to make the chicken just so I can torch it like HoosierPoms! LOL I have never seen whole chickens MORE on fire than in that picture!!! Hilarious! And I gotta get that book! JM - Fresh fruit is the only way to go, believe me. Canned anything is pretty much crap-o-la. Fresh, fresh, fresh...YUMMY, too! Beware the cheese in mass quantities, though! It will plug you up, girl! LOL But I just saw a cheese advertised yesterday that is supposed to aid with digestion...what an oxymoron! I can't recall the name, but it reminded me of the yogurt Activia? Dunno. I'll pay more attention next time it's on. DiBaby - Get well, girl! We miss ya! Angel - We miss you, too! Glad to see you poking your head in from time to time! How you feeling? JM and BG - Honey is yummy! There is always Stevia, too! And it's completely natural!

How the Lap-Band actually works, fills and refills
Oregondaisy replied to Wendell Edwards's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
There is a fat pad around the stomach that we can not see. This fat pad shrinks just like the rest of us when we are losing weight. That's why after we have lost some weight, we can suddenly feel looser and we need another fill. When you are close to goal, the fat pad is mostly gone. I have had the same fills since Dec. and I don't think I will ever need another one. Wendall describes this very well on the 1st page of this thread. After surgery, I did 4 weeks of liquids. On my post op diet I could have protein drinks, soups that I put in a blender so there were no chunks, sugar free jello, and yogurt with no sugar added. After 4 weeks of liquids, I was on mushies for another 2 weeks. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I am happy to help anyone at any time. -
Funny you should ask because today I was realy hungry for the first time in a while. I only had yogurt for breakfast and around 3pm I could hear my stomache growling-I was really hungry. I remember thinking that is was weird because I usually don't get hungry. In the beginning stages (prior to a good fill) you may feel hungry more often and that is completely normal. Yes, you can eat around the band because ice cream, candy, etc. seem to go down real easy-but if you eat proetins first it will curb the urges. I saw a teacher I work with and I always thought she had surgery-she had lost a lot of weight-but I noticed that she is putting in back on. That's where having the option of getting a fill is awesome. People who get gastic bypass don't have that option at later stages, That's why I love the band-there is an adjustment option that other surgeries simply don' have.

stall correlated to lack of protein
mariamitani replied to angry's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
In order to continue to drop weight you need to remain at 600-800 calories a day. I feel like thats the most important thing to keep losing. All those calories should come mostly from protein.Eggs,fish,steak,ground beef,lentil,beans,shrimp,greek yogurt ,cottage cheese and cheese sticks. You need 75 or more grams of protein a day also important. Drink 64 or more ounces of water a day. When I dont drink water my weight stalls, I think because the body cant remove waste without enough.Take your vitamins daily to keep energy levels up. Try to exercise 3-5 days a week. Measure your food and blog it in myfitnesspal.com. It allows you to see daily protein intake ,calories,carbs etc..Measuring cups,spoons and a scale are also very helpful. Good luck on your journey -

June 2013 Sleevers GROUP
nursesettie replied to Museum-Mama's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I don't have a nut. I am eating less than 1200 cal a day. I feel very full when I eat a Beriwise Protein bar. I do not know how much I eat each time. I eat till I am feeling good but not full. I do eat a lot of fresh fruit, yogurt and cheese -
You have to scald whole milk (1 gallon) and one small container of plain nonfat Greek yogurt and salt to taste then let it cool. Once it is cooled, you put it in a bag (I use a pillow case) tie it up and set a big strainer underneath it for a few days , set in a bowl so it's doesn't leak everywhere. each night dump out the extra water from the case that's underneath in the extra bowl. Once thickened u can put in a Tupperware and just garnish with olive oil (optional) as needed. Time consuming, but worth it!
