6 yrs post op - weight gain - seeking support
JessLess replied to Domika03's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You can do it! I gained 14 lbs, turned things around, and have lost 2 over the past week or so. I lose slowly at under 1500 calories a day. Breakfast: 1 egg, 2oz lox, 1/2 cup fruit, coffee with a little 1% milk Lunch: Healthy Choice Powerbowl (low carb) or similar Dinner: Fish, vegetable, occasionally brown rice or carbanada low carb pasta Snacks if I am actually hungry: fat free yogurt, banana, 1/2 cup Julian's low carb granola, unsweetened almond milk, low fat cheese stick, etc. I take a walk/run with my dogs for about 2 miles a day and do Pilates 2x a week. I'd like to add back weightlifting when it's safe to go back to the gym. Knocking off the number of snacks seems to have been the main issue for me. I would track and see where the extra calories have snuck in and see what you can live without. Good luck! -
Road Trip 2 Weeks Post-Op
Rev Me Up! replied to Amber's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You would have to check your surgeon's food guidelines. I was still on full liquids at 2 weeks out. Make sure to bring a cooler with you. You will want to have plenty of bottled Water, some Protein packets and milk or soymilk to mix them with. I was drinking a lot of liquid yogurt at that stage. You may want to pre-portion some cream Soup into microwaveable tupperware that you can take to a mini-mart on the road and heat up. If you are not on solids, you will not be able to eat anything at the drive-through. I am 2 months out and I still have a hard time eating a whole hamburger patty without the bun. My first foray into fast food consisted of the meat and cheese from the inside of one taco at about 4 weeks. Also, bring tylenol as that is the only approved pain killer. Gas-x strips and tums will handle any gas or acid that might crop up. As far as discomfort, that varies from person to person. I was exhausted and felt pretty bad for almost 4 weeks. Other people on this board have surgery Monday and are in fighting shape the following Monday. You should be fine for the drive, but you won't really know how food treats you until you get to that point. Good luck! lara -
What do you eat in a typical day??
FunnyDuddies replied to dsrjrr's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Breakfast is usually a yogurt (yoplait lite about 100 cals), then I usually have fruit for a snack sometime before lunch (apple, or some florida citrus, or a banana), lunch is usually a half a sandwich and a bowl of Soup (sandwich is lean meat, mustard, and lettuce, or simple a tomato sandwich and soup is one of the lean Soups usually around 100 cals), and another snack of fruit, then dinner is a frozen michelinas lean meal (they range around 120 to 300 cals) and fat free sugar free pudding or Jello for dessert. I only drink Water for liquids. That is a typical day for me. I stay in a range of about 800 to 1000 cals a day. It is tough, but if i focus on it I can do it well. Amy -
can you tell me what you think this was?
No game replied to Ginagirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'll tell you what you did wrong. You should eat yogurt that is sugar free first off. Second if you ate something that disagreed with you, the last thing you should do is eat MORE food to chase it with, and peanut butter? Fat (and sugar) would just make dumping worse. Ditto with the cheese. -
Bandster hell..... ok so what do I do?
LeighaMason replied to lovinlife4eva's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Can you eat tuna? A can of tuna in Water is 100 calories. I eat them for a snack between meals when I am really hungry. Try this: Breakfast: 1 fried egg 92 cal. 1 piece of bacon 43 cal. 1 whole wheat bagel thin (on the bread isle) 110 cal. Snack: Greek yogurt 140 cal. Lunch: 1 can of tuna 100 cal 1 TBSP Miracle whip free 13 cal. 1/2 TBSP Pickle relish 10 cal. 8 snack crackers 121 cal. Snack: Apple 81 cal. Dinner: 4 oz baked whitefish 132 cal. 3 oz baked potato 79 cal. 1 TBS butter 36 cal. 1/2 cup steamed broccoli 27 cal. I hope this helps give you some fresh ideas. These things keep me full the longest. :sad: -
I eat bananas every day too! no problems at all. Hey here is an idea for those have a hard time with bananas, put a banana in a mini food processor, scoop into a little cup, freeze overnight. You got yourself a healthy frozen treat! You can also get creative with this and add other fruits, yogurts, etc...

You don't have to eat meat to get your protein. I eat very little of it. Try alternatives....eggs, almonds, cheese, yogurt, refried Beans, protein powder....there are many things to choose from.

Oh I've been there too! (Honestly, is there a bandster who hasn't?) It can be very painful and scary. I've slimed in coffee cups, lunch bags, plastic bags, the side of the road...ugh. I have an hour commute each way and I'm not open enough to eat before I leave for work, so I've started having my coffee in the car to open me up, maybe a protein bar if I'm open enough, and then I eat yogurt or cottage cheese when I get to work. I was running late one morning and tried to eat a sandwich in the car...IN THE MORNING! What the heck was I thinking!?!? That was not one of my finer moments.

How soon after surgery did you travel?
Vicki0618 replied to dansgem's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I flew from CA to CO for my sisters wedding exactly 2 weeks after surgery. I felt fine, no problems physically. I was staying with my sister and she was nice enough to have my protein shakes, cottage cheese, and yogurt on hand for me....which really helped. The only problem I had was I got a little dehydrated a couple of days because we were busy and I "forgot" I had to drink. You should be fine!! -
I was sleeved on 11/8 and had to spend one week on Clear liquids. I have now moved to Full Liquids. My diet consist of the following: Milk, soy milk or rice milk fruit juice Soup (blended into full liquid) frozen yogurt or sorbet (fat free) pudding or custard (sugar free) vegetable juice Cream of Wheat Yogurt Then my documents it says daily recommeneded intake is 60-70grams of Protein per day. Does this just apply to when I get the soft foods stage? If I am only suppose to eat 3 meals a day and drink 12 cups of water/liquid per day I am confused. My plan for this week was to eat the following: Breakfast: Cream of Wheat Lunch: Yogurt Dinner: Jello Drink: 1 cup of apple juice and 1 cup of almond milk (not on my list but I think it will fall under the milk) during day plus 10 cups of Water If hungry: Add in a either beef broth or tomato soup if I need salty or a sugar free pudding if I need sweet like or if for any reason I need to mix up one the above items. Exercise: 30 minute walk per day So my questions are: 1. Do I have to worry about the protein intake at this stage? 2. Does the meal plan I have look reasonable for Week 2? 3. How much is a serving of Yogurt (2 ozs)? 4. How much is a serving of Cream of Wheat (2 ozs)? (Today I was able to eat about 5-6 teaspoons full for Breakfast before I felt full) 5. At this stage do I have to worry about getting "enough" calories? If so what should be the goal? -
Banded 4/3 and going out for SIL's BD
waterlily1072 replied to singandsew's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
That's interesting about no milk my surgeon tells 16oz of milk each day and that is supposed to be our only liquid calories. I choose yogurt instead though and only have one, I'm such a rebel, lol. And yes shakes are super high in sugar, but I was told that during the first 2 weeks I could have anything that I could suck through a straw and that while he didn't want me to have a shake a day that I could have one if I wanted because I wa in the healing phase. He wasn't concerned about weight loss yet. If worse comes to worse they can always bring you some herbal tea, they might even have broth. -
I have purchased the sistema BPA free storage system today ( I got them from Waitrose in the uk as they are on offer - half price ) for my small meals after having the sleeve. I bought 3 x 2 pots of 5.7oz containers (great for fruit and greek yogurt) - pic here but I got the bigger sizes (but still tiddily lol) drinks you need to mix http://sistemaplastics.com/products/to-go/700ml-shaker-to-go And finally http://sistemaplastics.com/products/to-go/soup-and-noodle-2-pack They are great and perfect sizes !! Hope it might interest some - Kate

I've been doing smoothies. I know not a hot food. I freeze fresh fruit over night, measured out in 1/2 cup portions. 1 contain of plain greek yogurt, 1 splenda, and then enough orange or apple juice to get it moving. It's got a lot of protein, and it helps me get in one of my fruit servings- which have made a HUGE difference in how much energy I have for the day.

Good Morning...what is everyone eating for breakfast? I get tired of eating cold foods (yogurt, cottage cheese) anyone eating oatmeal? (not worried about the carbs?) thanks everyone!

Help with crushing meds into food/liquid
smiley922 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am having to crush three pills, one antibiotic, hctz and amlodipine and add to food/drink. tried yogurt, not gonna work, tried crystal light, equally nauseating. Any suggestions? At this point I am at a loss and would rather just not take them. -
Started my liquid diet today - I am miserable. I work 9 hour shifts on my feet 5 days a week, and after today, I am light headed and completely impatient. Makes me wonder how many people in customer service who are cranky and just annoyed and short with everyone are on this damn diet!! I've had Water all day, 3 Protein shakes - each of different variety, and 3 yogurts - also different brands. At a total of 780 calories, I feel I have eaten far from enough, and I feel sick to my stomach. I'm re-tasting the shakes, and just totally turned off of everything. How am I going to get the protein and calories I need, by also feeling full and not like I'm starving myself all day? If I stick to the Protein Shakes and yogurt, I'm gonna hate them really soon. Help!!! Feeling weak physically and mentally.

I'm set for May 9 and starting my pre-op diet April 25. I've been trying to ease myself into it by eating mostly yogurt, protein shakes and vegetables this week. No meat or breads.
-
Protein shakes almost never give me discomfort, it's just a tough call when choosing it over a real meal. Breakfast on an empty stomach is the when my I'm the most sensitive. A little yogurt, cut fruit with a tiny bit of honey sets me up for the day. Oddly enough I went to a "raw foods" restaurant. Where the food isn't cooked above 40c? I went in with zero expectations but I ate plenty with no gas, or discomfort. Generally the healthier the foods, the less trouble they give me. But this is all after ten years post op and I still have to be very mindful. Get to love boiled eggs as snacks, low fat foods and simple food combinations. A burrito, or any stacked sandwich with (fats) cheese, beans (carbs), meat (protein), dairy dressing and spice... I might as well stick a shotgun on my mouth! But I am no longer carrying around two suitcases (100lbs) with every step, which is a good thing. But that's all the physical, the mental attachment to taste stimulation is a different ballgame. Don't replace it with booze. Good luck.

Diet Progression
rocketray replied to retiredlinda47's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine is sugar free fat free pudding, any pureed soup--I made some black bean soup and pureed it--potato soup thinned down/pureed. Yogurt--I eat Voskos, it's a greek yogurt and has approx. 10 grams of protein in a 5 oz cup. And then there's runny cream of wheat or oatmeal. Protein drinks made with soy milk or fat free milk with a tsp. of peanut butter thrown in. That's basically what I've been eating all week. Everything seems to go down fine and it all satisfies my hunger. And water which I have not been drinking enough of. -

btrieger replied to retiredlinda47's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine was Protein shakes; Water and non-calorie soft drinks only but other include sugar free Jello, popsicles, yogurt, etc... -
I descoverd a perfect treat when you crave ice cream. Buy fat and sugar free yogurt. Plan and un flavored. Pop a cup in the freezer for 10 or 15 minutes. Then add a few drops of liquid water flavor enhancer. Like mio. Give it a try.

I clipped out some member favorites from a previous protein drink thread. Unfortunately, I couldn't locate the thread, but here are the clips: "Nature's Best makes a carb free, clear drink that comes pre-bottled and in fruit flavores. Its called Zero Carb and from what I've read the Frosty Grape is the best." "New Whey Liquid Protein is like 4 oz of clear protein with 25 grams and it tastes like liquified jello @ only 100 calories. www.fitnessfirstUSA.com has them!" "My brand is called New Whey Liquid Protein and I get it from: http://www.wholesalesupplementstore....idprotein.html It tastes fine to me and is easier to get down than protein shakes." "...started with Carnation Instant breakfast mixed with milk and unflavored Unjury protein powder. I have tried a few since being banded (10/04) and now use GNC's whey protein in french vanilla - I mix it with oj, van yogurt & milk and it tastes like an orange julius, or I mix it with frozen strawberries/banana/milk and its kind of like a daquiri."
-
I did a lot of the carnation instant breakfast with a couple of scoops of protein powder added. And yogurt, and gourmet soup that I put in the blender with skim milk. That was really good. After a week or so, I was having really bad loose bowels, probably from no fiber for almost a month (including the presurgery liquid diet), so my dietician said I could add half a banana to the shake. Or applesauce. Or add benefiber, which I didn't try. When you get on the scale and see what's gone, it'll be worth it.

So, here's the issue.....
gotmyeyeontheprize replied to gotmyeyeontheprize's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can have dairy products such as cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. I just can not drink milk. Isn't that crazy?!?!
