QUESTION- CAN WE EAT PUDDING AT 4 DAYS POST OP?
Shari71 replied to Shari71's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thanks girls! Yes I'm on Stage 1 All liquid diet. But I don't see anything bedsides Jello and popsicles. But it says: If you have reached your 480z. (Which I have).Then you can move to Almond milk, 1% milk, Kefir drinkable yogurt or blenderized low fat soups(chicken noodle/puréed). Yes. I'll call my surgeons office 2morrow morning for sure regarding the pudding. -
Ha! Dont worry Kathy - you can put that varooom car in neutral. Today I had TWO hershey w/almond bars and (so far) SIX cups of lo-carb yogurt cups (6???)... plus the meals Ive eaten. So Im not 1 less pound then you any longer. :biggrin1: The PIG has arrived! **for the record, I didnt take my tenuate today. Thank God something is helping.** I even FEEL like Ive gained. :paranoid

Last fill was 4.5 total ccs and so far it's amazing. This morning I took a while to eat yogurt and I didn't eat most of the fresh blueberries I storred in with it. I wasn't hungry all day although I knew I should eat, but I was out shopping and running errands. I came home and had a chicken lean cusine...well I couldn't finish it-seriously-couldn'tfinish a lean cusiene? That's insane!! I ate most of the chicken, but couldn't finish the apples. Hopefully, I'll be able to eat a little more on the cruise (but not over do it). I would love to stay at this level for a while, but I am not sure how long it will last!

Suggestions for Protein-rich breakfast
JerseyGirl80 replied to Amanda61082's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm almost a year out and I still drink Protein shakes for breakfast because they're just more convienent and easy to get down in the morning. Most of the time I feel tighter so I sometimes have trouble eating anything solid until lunch time, but I'm not big on breakfast anyway. The band doesn't really allow you to eat in a hurry, if you are going to eat any kind of solid foods you have to find the time for it, it's very difficult to eat on the go, which is also why I normally stick to shakes. These are some breakfasts ideas I have occassionally: Chobani yogurt (you hate yogurt so this doesn't help) Egg beaters, sometimes I'll add some veggies or some low fat meat and cheese 2 hard boiled eggs with a sprinkle of salt with a slice of wheat toast w/ spray butter or just the eggs when you're on the go Breakstone cottage cheese doubles Kashi Go Lean Cereal with silk almond milk or skim milk (some of these cereals have 9-13 grams of protein per serving). sometimes I'll snack on it dry when I don't have time. Smart Ones (weight watchers) breakfast meals, a little high in carbs but still high in protein so once in a while its not so bad. You can pop the sandwiches or wraps in the microwave and just eat them easily on the go. But I would only suggest eating solid foods on the go prior to surgery. Hope this helps! -
Hey everyone, Im in the exact same boat! It feels good to know that others are going through the same thing I am. I was sleeved on the 25th and am 6 days post-op. I feel really bubbly and gassy in my tummy. I get a pain on my left side of my breastbone and sometimes feel like I swallowed a big bubble of air. I was just going to ask if the gas they pump you up with is supposed to hang around this long. I hope it will go away soon. I was able to eat some yogurt this morning and it was soooo yummy. I tried some smooth cream of wheat this afternoon and it was a no go! I cant wait to start on more mushy foods. Hope everyone gets feeling better soon!

Restriction Flucuations--Some Days More, Some Days Less
Joiebean replied to mullet head's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was noticing this too....and specifically when I was put in a stressful situation. I normal can eat 3-4 big shrimp, but I was around some family that yell all the time and being put in the situation made me uncomfortable and stressed. WHen they made me 4 shrimp I could barely get a couple bites down (I cut each shrimp into about 4 bites.) I haven't really paid attention about the relationship with BM's but I have to say that I am really constipated, but hungry (or what I think is hunger). And now I'm trying to get yogurt down and its just grossing me out. Go figure. -
Going alone to see Alberto Aceves or......
FabBy50 replied to tennessee1031's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Hi Jilly I'm having trouble getting all my water in too, I feel so full all the time. Plus water tastes weird! I have been drinking vitamin water and that helps, but they are so sweet and I don't like a lot of sweets. I have been eating refried beans, cottage cheese, yogurt, pudding, soups etc. I love the fact that I eat only a few bites and I'm full. I have lost 12lbs in 11 days, and I don't have as much to lose, so you will lose even more and faster. I went back to work Friday, and I can tell you by about 5 hrs. I was feeling it. I made it through both Friday and Saturday, just tired when I was off. I took my stitches out today, well all of them except the ones around the drain. I had one spot that still is not healed enough so I will wait a few more days. I love my sleeve, I can't believe how fast I'm losing and that I'm not hungry all the time, it's great!!! I know you will love yours too, no maintenance no fuss! -

JayTee562 replied to Band_Groupie's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
jerseygirl I'm in a similar situation...I've started eating yogurt with Protein Powder for Breakfast, today I'm going to try premade tuna salad in a cup I've been eating Soups at lunch the meat and soft veggies and dinner I made some meat with condensed mushroom Soup (don't add water) in the crockpot cooks it very tender. I've been adding sugar free popcicles of some sort in the evening or a Protein Shake. I also eat low fat piminto (sp) spread or cream cheese on Triscuts, I can only eat a couple of these but they go down ok and don't get stuck. I find the rules they've been telling us about all this time really have to be stuck to at this point that's why I was feeling so bad a few weeks ago eating to much, to big, not chewing... I still can't get a lot of Water and my milk consumption is down but a small meal last me a long time. The whole thing makes Kirk feel bad cause when he's home and we go out I order a side of mashed potatoes and eat a quarter of it. -
September Was Your Progress?
Pinky Green replied to jentheyo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was just cleared to take my arthritis medicine. It's really been too painful to walk much without it. And I live upstairs so even a walk to the car and back has been difficult. He told me I had to take some food with it so I usually eat yogurt. -
I agree...cottage cheese is icky! And, I also agree...why not eat greek yogurt instead!

May sleevers! How much have you lost so far?
tigerbelle replied to mrsplusamericajacksonville's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
my favorites during the soft foods stage were scrambled eggs (with cheese melted on top sometimes), peanut butter, chicken salad, hummus, yogurt, refried beans, other mushy beans -
I am 8 months out and my guilty preasures of choice right now are peanut butter and frozen Greek yogurt.

@@OKCPirate @@McButterpants I did some googling and there are some great trade in places near me so I'll try and see if I can trade in my bike for either a hybrid or a road bike. How heavy is your hybrid @@McButterpants? I live on the second floor and have to carry whatever bike I get up and down a narrow flight of stairs. That's part of the hassle with my cruiser. But I do like idea of being able to ride on rougher terrain at some point. @@catfish87 I did the yogurt this morning and didn't have any nausea but I was also drinking the Water with the electrolyte tab at every stop light. I have a couple cyclist friends who swear by Gu but I don't know if it's worth it for only an hour bike ride. Have you had any experience with it?

June Sleevers Lets Get Excited!!!
mikealkay replied to gully90's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Sleeved 6 days ago in Mexico. Sw: 234 Cw: 221 GW: 165. Just started protein drink, and having a really hard time with fluids. Feels like a balloon blowing up in my chest every drink I take. GasX doesn’t do the trick. However, Warm fluids do a little better for me, and using a straw now and it seems to be getting a little better each day. Take 3mg of requip for my RLS and can’t crush pill, so I take a teaspoon of yogurt at bedtime right before I take my pill- get a little bit of a tummy ache but nothing like when I tried taking it without the yogurt. -
First patients to have Realize...let's hear from you!
krtork replied to 2BtinyinTN's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My dr did the first fill at 4 weeks and then scheduled every month. I am now at 6.5 cc and I have great restriction. I did skip a couple of months and have not been in for the last two months. I am still fairly tight in the morning, so I have yogurt or oatmeal for breakfast and can eat harder foods for lunch and dinner. -
I had my surgery January 6th at tufts medical center in Boston MA. Everything has gone smooth so far. I came home from the hospital yesterday 1/8/14. I was 217 1/3 weighed in today 1/9 and I was 210.2. I have been very full. Today I had a carnation instant breakfast with 8 oz skim milk, a small decaf coffee with skim, and some diet cran grape juice for breakfast. Lunch time I had a Dannon light Greek cherry yogurt. That has 12 grams of protein. Dinner I had 1/2 c low fat cottage cheese (I couldn't quite finish it) I also sipped on 16 ounces of water with crystal light throughout the day. Tomorrow I will work on drinking more fluid. I did some walking today. Was shopping at Home Depot with my hubby. Feeling really good. The incision sights are sore, but I am taking my pain pills to it isn't too bad. I am not even tempted to eat anything I shouldn't have. I am 39 and have 3 kids 19, 12, and 9. My mother is staying with me and helping so I can rest and not have to cook for everyone just yet. So excited to start this journey. Now when it start getting smaller sizes I won't be too nervous to give away the big clothes. In fear I may need them again later.

Appetite back with a vengance!
MIZ60 replied to BajanSleeve's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
A lot of great advice here but you have to do your part and make the decision to change TODAY---get rid of all the processed, refined crap you are eating. You do not need it, your dogs don't need it and it is so bad for you. You need lean protein, fresh or frozen vegetables and a liberal amount of healthy fat. I do not think pureeing the meats in a blender and adding broth and plain yogurt to make them doable would be wrong. Curious what you are drinking instead of water. Crystal Light and others are okay but juices and sodas are not. 64 ounces per day minimum and actually more is better. Make sure your protein shakes are low carb and IMHO smoothies loaded with bananas and berries are not appropriate. Commit to 7 days of no sugar, no fruit, no processed junk food and veggie carbs, protein and healthy fat only and you will feel less hungry. I would stop the insulin for now since being a bit high is much safer than low with Type II diabetes and continue to monitor. It will be rough for a few days but you can do it. All kinds of exercise on YouTube or tapes/discs that do not require leaving the house. Post on here several times a day for support and encouragement. -
10 weeks out from surgery- struggling to find what works
MelbaT posted a topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Hello all, I'm 10 weeks out from RNY and overall doing pretty good. My problem is I can't plan my food menu because one day I'll like a food, like eggs, and the next day it repulses me. Can't stand the smell of it. I'm like this with almost everything I'm eating. I can NOT do shakes ever again. I tried again about a month ago and gagged and threw it out along with the damn shaker bottle. Same with soups and broths. Can't even look at them. ONe day I'll do good with chicken and the next it sickens me. I'm often hungry, but eating makes me feel like crap. I enjoy nothing. I eat slow and don't eat until I am too full, so it's not like I'm overeating and getting sick from a food and then not wanting to eat it again. It makes me sad. Frustrating as hell. I'm hungry now, but nothing sounds good, looks good or tastes good. I often feel crappy after eating. Nauseated. Again, not eating until I'm too full, so it doesn't make sense to me. My dietician wants me to get in more protein but I can't figure out how. There is a part of me that wishes I never would've had the surgery because I'm so sick of feeling like crap. I have low/no energy. I'm taking all my vitamins and supplements. Anyone else have this problem? Will it get better over time? I have no idea what I'll take to work for lunch tomorrow. The chicken I made yesterday is grossing me out now. UGH!! Advice? I'm 34 pounds down now. I'm stalled but feel like it's because I'm not eating enough. I cannot do yogurt or much cheese as I have a hard time with milk products as well. Ack! One more thing I'll add is that I found I can't tolerate sugar free things either. I don't know if it's the xylitol, artificial sweeteners or what. Not eating sugary things either. -
If you're talking a vaginal yeast infection and you don't want to mess with creams, you can ask your doc for a pill called Diflucan. Just one pill and it clears it up. If you're having repeated infections, I'd try upping your probiotic intake with yogurt, kefir, fermented foods or supplements.

February bypass buddies?
FluffyChix replied to RunningLibrarian's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Keep in mind, you may need to verify your meal size with your doc or RD. Because when most people here 4-6oz, they start thinking weight--as in weighing on a scale. But, the reference they gave you still alludes to a volumetric measurement. 1oz by VOLUME (measure) = 2tbsp = 1/8cup by VOLUME = 1/4oz by weight 4oz by VOLUME (measure) = 8tbsp = 1/2cup by VOLUME = 2oz by weight 6oz by VOLUME (measure) = 12tbsp = 3/4cup by VOLUME = 3oz by weight ************** Conversely, most protein in it's pure/fluffy/cooked state, unweighted down by meat lube or other moisture additives like light or fat free mayo and dressings and sauces add up like this: 1oz protein by weight (then flaked, chopped fine, or pulled) = 2oz by VOLUME = 1/4c by VOLUME = 4tbsp 2oz protein by weight (then flaked, chopped fine, or pulled) = 4oz by VOLUME = 1/2c by VOLUME = 8tbsp ************** And then there's the whole "meat salad thing" like tuna salad, etc... 2oz tuna, salmon, canned chicken by weight (flaked, chopped, pulled) + 1tbsp low fat mayo/yogurt + 1/2tsp mustard + 1/2tsp dill relish = 1/4c by VOLUME = 4tbsp. It will weigh more than 2oz by weight because of the addition of the condiments. Fun and intriguing bs isn't it? -
Protein while traveling & Disney Dining
rodeomom969 replied to Sleeveless in seattle's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You could also eat a bunless burger or only eat half the bun. Chef salads or similar are pretty easy to find. There are breakfast buffet style in the resorts so that is easy (scrambled eggs and fruit or yogurt) I eat out a lot and travel a lot and I am only almost 2 months out, you just have to put more thought into ordering. There are a lot of options at Disney World, it isn't all bad. Have fun. -
Any april 2014 sleevers? I need buddies!
Tammylb replied to jacquelynndiaz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I do the same as you . I eat meat meat and oh yea meat. I drink a premiere protein shake half at a time . Your body can't absorb all that protein at one time. I eat a egg a day and a 100 cal Greek yogurt . I love the p3 protein snacks and turkey jerky bites. I was eating seafood but my hair was thinning so I switched to cooking beef patties ( for iron) on George Forman with sautéed mushroom and onions peppers . I am a slow and steady 2 pounds per week looser .
