Starting to worry
pammieanne replied to Autumn Riley Arnold's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Please don't push your new pouch... you are pretty new out of surgery, and your nerves haven't healed enough to tell your brain that your pouch is full... bananas are full of sugar. Sure, you may not have dumped this time, and you many never, but it's not protein forward. I understand that some doctors allow things like bananas, but I doubt he suggested a whole one. Try things like cottage cheese, eggface's ricotta bake (google it), Oikos triple zero yogurt, hummus, mashed beans. Get your brain onboard with your new lifestyle changes, and it'll make it easier for you in the long run. -
Need bariatric vitamin suggestions- HELP NEEDED
heidikat72 replied to Browneyedgirl41's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I take two Centrum adult complete chewable Multivitamins a day (one when i get up and one before i go to bed) - they are orange flavored ( kind of like the old chewable baby aspirin but much much bigger) I prefer the Bariatric Advantage Calcium chews over the Celebrate ones - the celebrate ones are ok but a little more gritty in texture than the BA ones. The BA strawberry is good and they have a coconut now, the chocolate ones taste a little like a tootsie roll. These also contain Vitamin D so you might not need an additional Vitamin D supplement. My plan recommends getting 1200-1500mg calcium per day. I was taking 3 chews a day but realized I was getting enough calcium from my food (yogurt, skim milk etc) that I could cut back to 2 chews a day. For B12, I take a sublingual 1000mcg every other day. I think the one I have is nature made found in pretty much any pharmacy. My 3 month labs looked great! -

It sounds like you are having great results! I know it's hard but, worth it. Just remember eating foods not on your diet can hurt your new stomach. I've been craving salad of all things. I'm convinced my surgeon played some kind of subliminal messages while I was under. I feel like I need to increase my calories because I'm barely hitting 400 per day. I'm only having Water and Protein shakes. I think if I bump it up I will loose more. I'm moving on to puréed and in the transition phase. I bought pumpkin pie Greek yogurt and thinned it out. It was wonderful! Lol. Just remember it's only temporary. Those carbs will be there when you are at goal. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had a fairly easy recovery....until now. Something in my stomach is clawing me from the inside out. Every second of the day I have this horrible, gnawing pain in my stomach. I can't keep any food down and Water is becoming a chore. I've maybe had 8 oz of water today and the food I have attempted to eat has just come back up. My head is pounding. I know this is an ulcer. I had one a couple years ago - not nearly this bad. I called my surgeon's office first thing this morning and a nurse was going to call me right back, but never did. Is there anything I can do tonight for relief? I'm trying to eat yogurt, thinking maybe it will coat my stomach a bit, but it's just coming right back up.

I'm just over a month out, and I'm having a protein smoothie for breakfast, then I keep at work cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and chicken broth with chicken soup flavored protein. I have one of those items at lunch, then again before 5. Dinner later.

I'm still amazed at how small my lunch is. Sometimes it's 80% of a yogurt cup and then later I have a snack of a mozzarella stick or some hummus. I'm still not allowed to eat raw vegetables which is something I long for. HW 341 lbs 07/19/16 - 298 lbs 08/09/16 DOS - 286 lbs CW 264 lbs

Ketosis - How safe is it?
IveGotThePower replied to IveGotThePower's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thank you KristenLe. Doing my best. Not to say that I don't have a greek yogurt pop or a handful of popcorn once in a while. Life is too short. And I could not do it without my sleeve. This is such an amazing learning experience for me. -
I love Peanut Butter. I cannot underscore the word Love Enough I mean if I could marry it I would. I am starting my next stage post-surgery that includes full liquids my question is the following. Has anyone tried PB2. It is a powdered peanut butter that has 85% less fat lower sugars. It is fantastic to use in yogurts and or Protein shakes. I use half of the recommended serving size which is 2 tablespoons I have attached a basic picture of the nutritional breakdown and was wondering if anyone can give me their comments on this product and its healthiness if eaten within moderation for those of you that have not tried this peanut butter substitute it comes in plain and peanut butter and chocolate flavored and all I can tell you is it is incredible. You can purchase this at GNC however I recently found it at Walmart in the peanut butter aisle. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

I am about 16 days out and must say that until 4 days ago, I was feeling extra extra week, with brain fog. I was taking in Protein and losing weight at a good clip but the fatigue and cramps in my calf muscle. Today I am feeling better and the changes I made in the my routin are as following: 1) I read an article on Iron and fatigue and the association with Vitamin C so I have attached that article with the post if you wish to read. I am have started taking chewable iron supplements. 2) I switched from drinking broth and sodium laden Soups from the grocery isle to making my own indian style lentils (toor daal OR moong daal many varities in Indian Grocery stores--will post my recipe soon). I blend it with Water and a hard boiled egg (or just chew the hard boiled egg pieces really well) and 1 cup of greek yogurt (19g of protein). So the cup of lentil Soup blended with egg and i cup of greek yogurt is plenty of protein for the meal. 3) I make DARN sure that I take at least 80 ounces of water. 4) Add one banana to the two protein smoothies I have in a day (so two bananas and two whey protein scoops in the whole day) 5) My multivitamins made me nauseous so I switched to my children's flintstones and they seem to not make me nauseous although I do need to chew more pills So far my weight loss is still on track and the fatigue is down by 50% or more. I am sharing this experience with everybody and hope this helps. Just wanted to share. Anemia Following Weight Loss Surgery (2) (1).pdf

Ketosis - How safe is it?
IveGotThePower replied to IveGotThePower's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
For me, I eat turkey, chicken, salmon, shrimp, eggs, cheese, milk, plain greek yogurt, fresh steamed broccoli, cauliflower, nuts and legumes. I do use seasonings and olive oil. I also love avocados. -
I am shocked you were only told 50 oz. of Water. The recommended amount of water for anyone, weight loss or not, is 64 oz. As a WLS patient and someone who is, hopefully, exercising regularly, you should be getting even more than that. I usually get well over 100 oz. a day. As for calories, that shouldn't be your primary concern right now. While it is important to be getting ENOUGH calories to avoid slowing your metabolism, you probably aren't at risk for getting too many calories. You should be focusing on Protein. Aim for at least 80 per day, though my NUT told me to try to get up to 100 as quickly as possible post-op. I think you should definitely add in some Snacks to increase your calories and protein. I was instructed to eat 5-6 times per day. My "typical" day during my weight loss phase looked something like this: Breakfast: protein bar/shake Morning Snack: string cheese Lunch: leftover meat from a previous dinner Afternoon Snack: Greek yogurt Dinner: meat (whatever the protein was from what my husband cooked for dinner) Evening Snack: protein bar/shake That got me up to right around 100 grams of protein and about 1200 calories.

Yes do make sure you check your individual plan to ensure you are sticking with what is ordered by your doctor. At one week out I was also on what is called "full liquids"....and it included Greek Yogurt and sugar free pudding as well.....Strained Soups were also very good at that point...I liked the Progresso soups.

Where do I begin? Very DEPRESSED
BayougirlMrsS replied to supersweet31's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
@@supersweet31 No girl.... stay away from that balloon.... go read up on it. I got banded Nov. 2009 and in 2013ish... i gained back 20lbs. I know it's not that much, but when my fav jeans didn't fit anymore.... I said... OHHHH HELL NO...!!! I didn't go back to the dr, because after all it wasn't the bands fault...it was mine for making bad choices. So i started at the beginning.... i did liquids for 2 days, Protein shakes, good smoothies, Soup... etc. then i did soft foods for 3.... I through out all the bad stuff in the house... chips, ice cream, Cookies,.... etc. And i stopped buying them (if you don't buy, you can't eat them). I know it's hard with small kids at home to not have treats around... but if you fill your fridge with good treats, yogurt (frozen are great), fruit that you can eat, if you get chips... make them veggie chips or baked... and buy the small bags (lunch size) this why your not tempted to over eat. I cut up everything as soon as i get it so it's easily accessible. Do what you can to move more..... I didn't track a thing... i fixed my plate (still using kids size, tiny bowls,.. etc) with what i knew was good for me and enjoy. Never got seconds... EVER even if i was still hungry. I limited my self to what i know was my portion. My weight was at 150ish.... Today i weighted in at 125. So it is doable... it will just take a little longer... Be patient...... In the end it doesn't matter what WLS you get, it's up to you to make the right choices.....People gain back from the band, sleeve, and GB..... It's all up to you and what you want and how you want your life to be. Work your band the way you know works.... and just do it. You did it once, you CAN do it again. -
I'm only five weeks out, but I do get very hungry sometimes. The good thing: it doesn't take much to make the feeling go away; like maybe a piece of string cheese and a SF popsicle, or a container of Triple Zero yogurt and a few almonds.

Post-op diet with real food?
perspectiveiseverything replied to anonmom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My program (Kaiser Northern CA) is absolutely opposed to protein shakes and powders. We are only supposed to eat whole foods (plus vitamins) from the very start of orientation and throughout. Even the pre-op meal plan is all whole foods. Post-op foods are obviously appropriate to the stage (I.e. bone broth on stage one, yogurt/split pea soup stage 2, eggs/cheese/ground meats/soft veggies stage 3). -
Hello so sorry you feeling this way. I had gastric bypass in Decemeber 2015. A month later had a bowel obstruction and been dilated 3 times and may require a major 3rd Surgury. I also have a picc line and been on it since July 7, 2016. I get TPN every evening after work for 12 hours. I haven't been able to keep food down and I vomit a lot. I do have few days I am ok but it's not easy. My advice to you is to please chew chew chew your food and early slowly. You will get better. Don't give up. I been hospitalize 6 times since December and it's been stressful but being positive will help you. It's normal for you to regret the Surgury because I also felt the same way but trust me you did the right thing. This is temporary. You will get better. Try to avoid meats and corn and high fiber food , salads for now. Stay on soft foods, protein shakes, oatmeal, yogurt, carnation instant breakfast, chicken , cooked vegetables, soups. This is what I was told by the nutritionist. You Amy want to see one also. If you need any other suggestions or have questions, please feel free to ask.

I felt the same. Two weeks out. I have tried to do two things which helped me a lot: 1) Up your Protein. I add a bowl of greek yogurt to my Soup. Greek yogurt is very high in protein and an easy way to make your protein intake easier. I also try to blend an egg in the soup from time to time. 2) Water water water. The only two times I felt dizzy and low on energy is when I less than half what I need to drink. All the best.

I too am discouraged, I'm using a scale which gives weight, bone mass, %Water, and %of body fat. I'm using a fitbit, and meeting my goals. I track my calories and Protein, I've scaled back to 550-650 calories a day. I drink plenty of water, and I gained 1.6 pounds this week. Since September 2 I have lost 4.8 pounds. I feel like the surgery is no help. If I had the discipline to restrict the foods I eat on a long term basis I would never have become fat. On September second I weighed 239.8, today 235.0! Ugh! I eat plain fish, tuna with mustard, and maybe celery and onion, chicken breast, and egg whites. I also eat diet Soup, rarely a diet mango smoothie, Protein Bars, and protein chips all from Bariatric Pal. I add garden salad mix, zucchini, Greek yogurt, sparingly ketchup, Morning Star Farms vegetable meat subs, and once some peanut powder stuff. I don't eat bread, cake, Cookies, the stuff that contributed to my obesity, also no crackers, chips, croutons, candy, and not even costco samples unless they are packed with protein, and low in fat. I use Costco's incarnation of Miralax, and laxatives. I'm scared. I can eat a lot. I don't dare mix things up too much more, if I play with food choices, just a bite of chocolate, crumbs from a muffin,, just to taste, or anything and I could be 280 again, maybe more. I had my surgery in July. My pre op diet helped me lose 15 pounds in three weeks. Post op nine weeks and my total loss is thirty pounds. I don't seem to effectively communicate how distressing this is for me.

Curious what everyone had that was solid after surgery for food? I'm currently having shakes, yogurt, cottage cheese..but can't stop thinking about solid food! Wondering if you start bland or what others had? Sleeved 9/12/16

Ketosis - How safe is it?
rydersmama replied to IveGotThePower's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am just over 8 months post op, down almost 170lbs. I've been eating pretty much only Protein, and very little veggies the whole time. I have about 18lbs to lose until I'm at my goal. Once I'm there, I plan on adding different things like some fruit and yogurt. But until I'm at goal, I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing...it's worked for me Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Regrets so far cant keep anything down still
jurisjitsu replied to jurisjitsu's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi all, thanks for your concern. I think additional testing needs to be done Im scared because even thick soup doesnt work for me let alone yogurt or hummus or anything. Like right now I just had a quarter of a cup of soup and feel uneasy. I can try powder protein because I hear its so important to have. But yes, another appointment is needed I think.
