Clammy and dizzy 3 weeks post op
Browneyedgirl41 replied to Browneyedgirl41's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My original thought was that it was the sugar in the yogurt. It could have been caused by a few different factors, or a combo. This is all such a new experience. -

Hadenough2 replied to vicki99's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums

10 months post-op, need help with diet
Bufflehead replied to TobysMom's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
At ten months, I was still in weight loss mode and a typical day might look like: Breakfast: 2 oz spicy turkey sausage + 1 oz refried Beans Lunch: 2 oz chopped chicken breast + 1 oz chopped green veggies + 1/2 T. salad dressing Dinner: 2 oz tuna salad + 1 shirred egg Another day might be: Breakfast: 2.5 ounces Greek yogurt with 1/2 ounce almond butter stirred in Lunch: 1/2 turkey spinach feta burger patty Dinner: 2 oz lamb chop, 1 oz oven roasted broccoli And another day: Breakfast: 3 oz sirloin steak rolled with dabs of mustard inside romaine lettuce leaves Lunch: 1/2 can sardines + 1 oz chopped grilled asparagus Dinner: 1 egg + 1 egg white scrambled with curry sauce & 1 T. cheddar cheese Snacks on all days: Protein shakes only My basic rules were: 3 meals per day of 3 ounces per meal (at a year out I went up to 4-5 ounces per meal), no snacks other than Protein Shakes At least 2 oz of each meal must be high protein food (meat, fish, eggs, beans) No grains, starchy veggies, sweets, tropical fruits, or liquid calories other than protein shakes I leaned heavily -- and still do -- on frozen and prepared food from Trader Joe's and my local food coop. -
Throwing up bile after each meal
RJ'S/beginning replied to jurisjitsu's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Actually it is very normal. Try just snacking a little bit at a time. Trust me if you had a leak there would be a lot more then just bile coming up. You would have a temp. And feeling quite dizzy and sick just to say a bit. Keep the Protein going in yogurt and Protein drinks for now. when you start to feel your heart beat under the food stop eating. It will ease up with time. Look for high protein and low fat foods. There are so many choices out now. -
Clammy and dizzy 3 weeks post op
Browneyedgirl41 replied to Browneyedgirl41's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm supposed to get at least 48 ounces. Not sure if I got all that in, but I must be close. I'm still on liquids (puréed Soup, Protein shakes, drinks of yogurt, sugar free Popsicles). Kind of wondering if the sugar in the yogurt was too much for me. ??? From what I have learned sometimes post op, our bodies don't handle sugar as well as before. The good news is that it was short lived and I feel better now, but I just felt overall yucky when it was happening. I was dripping in a cold, clammy sweat. It sucked! Thanks for replying. I appreciate your concern/caring! -
I feel the same way. It is so weird. The only thing i really enjoy is Water. I've always been a water drinker so that's not any different. I did just have some plain ff Greek yogurt with a tbs of PB2 and that was Ok. I just don't know how to get the calories in. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I did really well today with my eating, or so I thought- Protein shake, Soup, some yogurt, some hot tea, frankly Water (not all at the same time of course). At around 6 pm I sat down to help/supervise my 3rd grader with his homework. We needed to go over spelling and vocab words, things like that. I developed a headache/migraine and took generic sumatriptan to get rid of it. I felt clammy and kind or disoriented and irritable. I had eaten at about 4pm and now at nearly 7pm, am not hungry at all but I will have some "dinner" anyway soon. I googled symptoms and it sounds like maybe some hypoglycemia. Not sure. My stomach does not hurt at all. No nausea or diahrrea- just the clammy and kind of dizzy feeling. Anyone else have experience with this? Blah.

Puréed Food Stage
lizardqueen replied to leese1978's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would also recommend 1% cottage cheese and plain Greek yogurt. I add a teaspoon of Polaner's no sugar added jelly. It comes in a few flavors, adds sweetness to cottage cheese or plain Greek yogurt with very little calories and carbs. I also have tuna salad made with low fat mayonnaise and egg salad as well. Polly-O cheese sticks are great too and no carbs. Just chew them well. Hope this helps. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Ricotta Bake (google it - Bariatric ricotta bake) No sugar added applesauce Cottage cheese Scrambled eggs Greek Yogurt Real Fruit and vegetable smoothies Tuna (From a can -- it's typically chopped small enough for puree stage) pureed Veggies (steam them first...then they're easy to puree) Refried Beans oatmeal Sweet Potato (mashed) Mashed Cauliflower There's a lot more but that's off the top of my head remembering what I ate at that stage. You can look on this forum and find many more recipes by stage that will be helpful also. Just make sure you meet your liquid and Protein goals every day!! Best of luck!

I found a way to get my protein in! Yay!
QueenOfTheTamazons replied to gustavio's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try it in yogurt! !! Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App I like it in noosa yogurt. I had a full scoop in the pumpkin flavor (42g - i did add an addition tbs of pumpkin i had on hand) yesterday and half in the key lime today (27g). I think half a scoop in yogurt is a good goal. With a full scoop i can taste the protein a bit. No horrible but not just yogurt. Brand names? -

How does the sleeve help you to change habits ?
Candygyrl replied to lowbmi65's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It is up to you. The sleeve is a tool but the choice of what you will put in your mouth is yours. Were we all perfect no. You have to make up in your mind that you want to live a healthier life period. Will you still be able to have a piece of chocolate from time to time yes eventually-- but hopefully you willing to find your way to chocolate in other ways. A chocolate Protein shake or Protein Bar, a piece of 70% Cacao dark chocolate, chocolate flavored greek yogurt. I felt the same about bread and since surgery I have not had a piece of bread nor do I want to. Does that mean I never will NO, its just right now it does not have any nutritional value to me and I would much rather focus on eating things that give me what I need. My plan allows me at this stage to have bread but in limited amounts. My continued weight loss helps drive it home that I don't really need it. When the time is right (maybe thanksgiving) I will have a 1 inch slice of cheesecake or chocolate cake I will savor and enjoy it, and move on with my life and If I think that might be a trigger food for me I'll steer clear. I never had a issue with sweets but carbs (bread of any kind) is my weakness, So I try not to eat things that I feel might trigger my cravings or desire for these foods like crackers, biscuits, croissants, English muffins and things like that. The sleeve definitely helps with reducing hunger in turn helping you to make healthier choices but some people still complain of having been hungry or dealing with head hunger which is where your willpower to be successful and following your surgeons guidelines is essential. Good Luck to you! -
I pureed chicken, tuna and salmon with greek yogurt. A fine pureed tuna salad was more appealing than meat and broth blended up. You don't need to completely liquefy it to where you can drink it. Think having it the consistency of greek yogurt. Also, check out the blod "the world according to eggface" - she has an entire post dedicated to the puree phase.

Blended phase
Millymollymandy22 replied to Nikki21's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm on week 3 post op and struggling with puree stage. Bored of shakes and yogurts. Was sick today after having fish pie. 4 mouthfuls all very soft and was doubled over in pain? Should I be worried? Thanks Sent from my SM-N910F using the BariatricPal App -
Sleeved 9/19 How are you feeling?
Sam S. replied to Spectra13's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello. Fellow 9/19 sleever here. All-in-all it seems like I've had a pretty non-eventful recovery. Day +1 in the hospital was tough to get in all the liquid the dr. wanted (about 10oz). But every day I've been feeling better by leaps and bounds. Came home on Tuesday (9/20) evening. Pain & discomfort are completely manageable. Haven't had the need to use any of the prescribed pain meds since I've been home. I did use liquid tylenol on a couple of occasions, but I think the last was on thursday. Only real discomfort now (and it's pretty minor) is at the main incision site when I get out of bed. The incision sites seem like they're healing up, because they're starting to itch like crazy. I work mostly from home, and for the past couple of days I have been able to spend as much time as I need to at my desk without feeling uncomfortable. Only issue on that front is the energy level. I've taken more naps in the last week than I have since my kids were babies. Up to about 48 oz of Water a day, and able to do 3 Protein shakes plus a couple of other smooth/liquid meals (soup, pudding, yogurt) per day. Walking around fine, and the energy level is finally starting to increase. I feel like I'm ready for soft foods, but I'm not doing anything until my Dr. tells me to at my follow up visit on 9/29. sleeping was a little tough at first, but now seems pretty good. And last night I was able to actually sleep on my side for a while (I'm a big side sleeper). Had some issues with gas early on, but found that the Gas-X strips do a great job managing that quickly. First poop was on Friday, 9/23, and I've been pretty regular since. Biggest challenges now are getting the liquid and protein in and increasing the amount that I'm walking. The liquid diet is getting a little boring, but I'm hopeful that I'll get the thumbs up on Thursday and I can go until then with no problem. HW 348, SW 321, CW 312. -
I never puréed or blended, except shakes. I made good low fat chili, no lumps whatsoever, and we sipped it at five weeks out. Soups, bisque, no crust quiche, eggs, small curd cottage cheese, yogurts, and I made a lot of low fat soups myself. We made sure we took exceptionally small bites, and enjoyed the flavors.

I eased into puree with just greek yogurt. Then I would puree tuna or chicken with a little greek yogurt. THis was more appealing to me than pureeing meat with broth. I could handle the idea of a fine texture chicken or tuna salad much better. The flavored pouches of tuna kept it from getting too boring. I also tried it with the flavored pouches of salmon. Do a search for Shelly's ricotta bake also - makes for a nice warm savory change while on purees. Just remember to take it easy - your stomach is very much still healing during this phase and the last thing you want is food bits getting stuck in that staple line. A lot of people also have refried beans with some melted cheese.

Candygyrl replied to gustavio's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was on a roll. I mean really on a roll right around 8 weeks post op I was becoming more consistent with hitting my Protein goals and I was improving my Water intake. I wasn't up to 64 oz most days of the week but I was progressing slowly and was ok with that. I feel like in the last 2 weeks, I've taken 2 steps backward. I'm hardly ever hitting my protein goals, and somedays I wonder if I even drank anything that day. I drink enough not to have symptoms of dehydration plus I do drink smoothies (which I make with water) and eat fruit and veggies like strawberries and cucumbers during Snacks so I'm getting it in. I am still losing-- haven't hit any stalls just yet. I have some weeks where weight loss is slower but it's still a loss. Then it picks up again. Anyways the shakes make me gag too and I really liked them. Greek yogurt is challenging but I still work at it. I find that I just have to take it slow even if it takes an hour to get it down. I want to eat Protein Bars but I feel guilty about eating those so I'm open to all WLS hacks. This one seems promising. -
Anyone eat hummus?
Dchase521 replied to spunkyheather's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started eating it alone early on. Now I put a little on low salt chicken or turkey cold cuts to add some moisture. I also use it to mix crushed pills to take a break from yogurt or pudding. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App -
Goofy things we do when stuck on liquid diet
LipstickLady replied to sunnierae's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm not a big sweets eater so the protein' drinks', pudding', Popsicles', etc. about killed me. I mixed Ranch dressing packs, mashed avocado, French onion soup' mix, Italian dressing mix, basically any dried soup' flavor I could find, into plain Greek yogurt and ate it with a spoon. My family would use it for veggies or chips'. Everyone got more protein' and I got something other than faux chocolate'. -
Protein - alternative supplements

Thanks. I get to move to full liquids which includes greek yogurt which I have always loved. Hopefully it helps with protein too.
