Puréed Phase Recipes
Leo segovia replied to Foxfire's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I roasted broccoli, cauliflower, onion, carrots, bit of salt and olive oil. Roasted for about 45 min at 375. In a big pot I added water and a box liquid no salt beef broth, some low salt soya sauce and the roasted veggies. Simmered for 2 hours and cooled. The ran it through blender and was done. Roasted broccoli and cauliflower creamy soup. Separated into portions and froze 1/2 for later on. Could always add more water or broth to thin out if too think. Next week I'm going to try with asparagus and mushrooms. -
Oh bummer. I haven’t brushed my hair in a few years. it’s short and curly. So I’m not sure if I’m going to notice. it’s been 5 1/2 weeks now and I can finally transition to sloppy/purée foods. yay for me.

Omigosh that actually makes me feel so much better - my doc didn't have me lose prior so I expected big numbers in the first few weeks. Thank you so much really appreciate it. -
Weight loss meds after surgery!
carpeediem replied to carpeediem's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Nothing has really changed. I eat the same things, but I can consume more now. I wasn't exercising then (I walk at least 3 miles a day, and that hasn't changed), and I've never been one to count calories. I just keep track of my protein and carbs. -

My most used item was a small handheld strainer. I strained soups for weeks for every dinner. I think it cost me like $2. -
Of course last night I got my period, a week early, thinking it was all the stress. Sorry if that's TMI just worried about it, im sure the nurses will have delt with it before but it's still a little weird for me.

how did you create a goal weight?
STLoser replied to KimA-GA's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I weighed 393 at my highest. I always wanted to get under 200. I was there as a teenager and young adult, when I weighed around 160. I had hoped to get down to 160 or 170, but knew I'd be happy to get to 199. I got down to 187 in July, and I'm in maintenance now, 2 years and almost 3 months post op. I have gained a few pounds and I'm at 193 right now. I'm very happy at this weight, even though it's not a "normal" weight for my height. I wear a size 12 or 14, and I'm very happy with that! I've decided to make my threshold 195 before I get concerned. I want to stay under 200. Sent from my Pixel 5a using BariatricPal mobile app -

I don't know how many of you are in your third week, but I am concerned about my calories. My doctor has us do 3 meals and 3 snacks. Shooting for 60 grams of protein and 64 oz of water. I have no problem with the protein. I make a lot of keto soups and blend them down. I am concerned in the calories. I was hovering around 5-600 calories. Today if I eat everything, I wrote I should end up around 800. I couldn't believe it. I have not had any issues with food until yesterday. I am in my soft food stage and yesterday I had a few of Russel's sugar free chocolate. My TOM started yesterday, and I think I was just craving. That did not sit well at all. So, no more off that. Where are you all at in terms of calories? -

3 years out from Sleeve. I feel like a failure.
Cpach81 replied to sassyangies's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Just had my revision 4 weeks ago! My liquid diet was protien shakes, broths, low sugar yogurt, low fat cottage cheese, sugar free jello, and sugar free popsicles. Oh, and any sugar free drinks (non-carbonated) and tea. I had a sleeve 7 years ago and gained all my weight back as well. I decided to do gastric bypass because I knew I needed more permanent help if I wanted to truly get healthy. I was arrogant and not in the right frame of mind when I got my sleeve so I sabotaged myself. This time, I was 100% ready and its been soooo much better and the will power to want to do better seems almost natural now. Having said that, when I did my liquid diet before surgery, I dropped weight so fast! 12 lbs in 1 week and was down 21 lbs by the time my surgery rolled around (3.5 weeks). So, doing the liquid diet again definitely re-starts your sleeve but it will be up to you to keep up the diet after, which for me is the hard part. Good luck, whatever you decide to do! -

I've read before you can restart your sleeve by going back on a liquid diet for 5 days. I had a sleeve 7 years ago and just updated to a bypass 4 weeks ago an I can tell you when I had to do my liquid diet again, I dropped weight FAST. Like 12lbs in a week! Almost to the point where I questioned if I even wanted to have another surgery. In the end it was better for me to have it, but maybe that might help you. -
How long did it take your surgeons office to submit to insurance???
raspberrylime replied to raspberrylime's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I kept calling my surgeons office last week for updates and they continued to give me the same excuse that my case is still "pending"... BUT after calling Blue Cross on Friday they explained that my surgeons office had to resubmit my case because they didn't add the codes for surgery the first time!!!! This made me so upset because no one at the office bothered to inform me of that. I reached back out to the office and the coordinator said she is requesting BCBS mark my case as urgent now. We're down to the wire (surgery is in 8 days!) And I could use all the well wishes and fingers crossed that I get approved on time 😔 -

I'm here too in business office 10/3'ers we got this! -
Unfortunately it's about a 2 hour drive if there's no traffic, can end up closer to 3 1/2 during the day, and I have a little one in school so it's not ideal, but that may be my only option if I can't get rehydrate on my own, or go to another hospital out of town. My mom was with me and when she asked him about giving me another bag of fluids before sending me home (she thought I'd at least get the first bag done before they discharged me) he simply stated not in my hospital check at *names hospital I had surgery at* maybe they can So I'm assuming that will be my only option from now on.... I do have a appointment with my primary doctor, who is amazing, On Tuesday and her office is attached to the urgent care, my mom is hoping she might be able to get them to give me fluids while I'm there.

What made you decide to have a WLS?
omrhsn posted a topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Hi. I know that we all had our different reasons for having WLS. I did it because I was fed up with yo-yo dieting. I was on-off Keto diet for over two years. I've lost some weight and gained it all back in the end. The longest I've stayed on diet was 5 months and that paid off really well (lost 25 kg). But then Covid-19 hit. I was about to go back to Keto diet in January 22 when my sister called to tell me she was going for the mini gastric bypass. That was the first time time I've heard of it. Fast forward three weeks and I'm on the plane flying to Egypt to have mine. My "breaking point" was finally going back to work in the office and having to remove the arm rests of my office chair because it somehow "shrunk" and was squeezing my thighs. How about you? What made you decide to have the surgery and what was the breaking point? -

There are things you can depend upon. Stalls happen & you can experience several of them. Our rate of weight loss slows as we progress (as our calorie intake slowly increases & gets closer to the number of calories our body needs to function & maintain our weight). Our weight loss is never a straight downward line on a graph. It zigs & zags, up & down. And everyone’s weight fluctuates & women fluctuate more thanks to our hormones. It can be fluid, constipation, what we are, how much we drank, or just your body. Not sure how much you want to lose & what your weight currently is but it’s likely you’re in a stall. But chat with your dietician. You may need to tweak your diet or activity.

I will be 3 weeks post op tomorrow. Would it be safe to just eat normal food?? I know every plan is different and it is against my plan but if others are ok I am willing to try cause I know I need to eat. -

Sunnyway replied to ASteff's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Consider the possibility that you are a sugar/food addict and need to cut out things like sugar, flour, white potatoes, rice, and processed foods. I've been pretty successful at losing (despite frequent stalls) by following this. Due to complications my RNY>RNY revision was not successful so I have no volume restriction. I HAVE to record everything I eat. My clinic wants me to restrict myself to 800 kcal a day, but I struggle with cravings even though my body is getting sufficient sustenance. Cutting out the trigger foods (above), helps with the craving but I'm usually consuming around 1000-1200 kcal a day--and still slowly losing. Here are some books I recommend. -

Mine has me starting b12 first day post op (it's sublingual). Starting the multivitamin on 1 week post op. 2 week post op start fiber supplements and 1 of the calcium. 3 week post op increase to 2 calcium. 4 week post op increase to 3 calcium and add iron. So by week 4 I should be taking everything. -

Need help with husbands post op eating
Tomo replied to HappyCruiser's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Bacon isn't considered soft foods (as you know) and that his stomach isn't fully healed till 6 to 8 week later. As @Shoppgirl said it is about safety. One of the most serious complications of VSG and/or RNY is rupturing your suture line aka anastomosis and if you don't adhere to the post-op diet then you are risking serious complications. If he rips the suture line, like someone close to me did (and she didn't listen), his abdominal contents will spill into his peritoneal cavity and it can kill him.
