I only got in 2 oz of strawberry low fat yogurt, 2 oz of G2, 2oz of broth with a quarter scoop of protein and 6oz of water. Not even close to the recommended daily protein or fluid intake. Don't know how I'm gonna do this. I don't wanna eat or drink at all. Never thought I'd hate the idea of food and drink so much. I don't even know how to tell if I'm full cuz I constantly feel full and I'm force feeding myself. Thought I was doing good this morning until I realized how little I consumed. Hope tomorrow is better.I feel the same way - it's like I feel so bloated I may pop! Question: do yall get over heated really quickly? And does anyone feel pain when the take a deep breath? I did laundry today. Stood for 30 minutes folding and started sweating profusely and got shaky I think it was because I haven't really consumed enough of anything to have energy to move. My body must have quickly used up the vitamins and left me with nothing to function with. But oddly when I'm sitting still I am freezing. Constantly have to stay covered. So strange. Lol. But I do have the deep breath issue. Hurts most by my biggest incision and in my left rib cage. Does feel like muscle strain. I remember feeling the same after my two other surgeries years ago. Took a long while for the muscles to heal. Don't hesitate to ask your doctor if it gets unbearable.

Happy Birthday! Mine is on Sunday the 11th. I had ricotta cheese, butternut squash soup, mashed up avocado, yogurt and cream of potato soup. It has all stayed down so far I am just starting week 2 of my pureed foods.

Help, I am Hungry!!
Darktowerdream replied to grandmap's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I do still buy certain thing’s although not often. Some people do find them handy for work lunches. The creamy chicken pasta is pretty good. I actually had it on purée just cooked very soft since it’s easy to chew to purée. I couldn’t tolerate normal purée foods. . I like their protein pancakes. I did try some of their protein chips. As I’m supposed to be doing more normal foods. I had half a small bag with two soft boiled eggs. As you advance you can get more creative with your work lunches. in the early stages try things like chia pudding I bought their protein mashed potato mix and I make that sometimes with a small veggie burger. Ie. Boca turky burger 2.5 oz 70 calories, 11 grams protein. I liked it with dr Praeger’s black bean chipotle pollock burger, 2.5 oz 90 calories 10 grams protein but my store stopped selling them. It took me longer than most to eat normal foods. I’m still eating fairly soft foods. my head is tired. But I’m sure there’s lots of ideas. Some people prepare their own meals fresh. I don’t have energy for it. I do a mix of buying a few things from BariatricPal, I buy things like veggie burgers, veggie sausage, if they come in small portion right calories, Egglands Best eggs, plain Greek yogurt or TwoGood yogurt, I mix PEScience select protein powder in yogurt. That helped a lot during purée. As did good culture cottage cheese cups. I admit I treat myself to a little land o lakes whipped topping (sugar free) on my yogurt. and evening coffee. BariatricPal does have protein coffee with vitamins and protein hot cocoa with marshmallows that’s pretty decent. i love using ripple milk unsweetened plain , they also have unsweetened vanilla. It’s plant protein. sorry for rambling. -
February 2021 Sleeve Surgery
NaturalMom replied to LifelongJourney's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Had my surgery on the 23rd. Everything went well. First 24 hours were a bit rough, but now I'm doing okay. Walking 2-3km everyday since Thursday, getting most of my water and protein in. Still sleeping in a recliner, but hoping in the next couple days to move back to my bed. On strained thin liquid diet for 10 days, then smoothie consistency liquids for 10 more days, then purees for the next 10. Hate every protein shake I've tried, so I've been putting unflavored protein in my soups, broths, yogurts and that's been okay. Think I really hit ketosis today because my breath is awful and the taste in my mouth is so, so bad even right after brushing my teeth. Oh, weighed myself this morning for the first time and I'm down 13.8lbs from surgery--YAY! -
I eat lean meats, greek yogurt, Ricotta, skim plus, egg beaters, cheese, nuts, cottage cheese, fish, an EAS AdvantEdge for breakfast. I'm hoping my body will just regulate itself.

Hellllllllllp..........
Vickybli replied to esv2000's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Νοτ all people lose at the same rate. Other people's stats are there for encouragement not to freak you out. I l ost quite a bit of weight the first month but i started out at a VERY high number and that does make a difference. No two people are same. However you know you shouldn't be eating sweets. Haven't you had your first post-op yet? Your NUT will tell you what the right food for you is. What mine told me was that i could eat basically anything except sugar. i am allowed one dessert per week. i should eat very small quantities every 2 hours and protein at every meal. I never took the shakes. I get my protein from yogurt, low-fat cheese, fish and nuts Make sure you get lots of liquids and if you cant exercise try to at least walk. Hang in there, you WILL lose the weight. 35pounds is not a small amount especially for someone who's been "cheating". -

June Gastric Sleevers Out there
cdedosan replied to skjerstad's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on 6/23 and developed gastritis after week one. I am having a terrible time making the switch too. Everything makes me nautious and I gag, then vomit. So far I have managed to keep down Almond milk, Greek yogurt, SF pudding, mashed bananas, and SF Popsicles. Water alone is too harsh so I add a touch of flavoring. I haven't been able to keep down any protein I've tried (chicken and tuna). I also have trouble with protein shakes. Any suggestions folks have that may help would be appreciated! -
Looking for my band twin - 3.25.09
rachaele1 replied to KarenInOhio's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Here's a funny one: I got banded at 0700 on 3/26, but I am stationed in Italy, so that means it was midnight Central US time - so that puts me on 3.25.2009 too... depending how you count. Anyway - my kids (five of them) are all scared because I am not eating. Neighbors made dinner and breakfast so I don't have to, which was nice - but honestly, I am just scared. Am I eating the right stuff? Liquid and mushy? Are Ramen noodles mushy enough (no, I didn't eat them, just curious). Yesteray (the day after my surgery) I went home. All I ate for the entire day was 1 cup of tea and 1 small yogurt (both from the hospital before I was discharged), 1 small orange slushy, 1 baby yogurt, 1 oz. fresh buffala mozzerella with basamic vinegar and olive oil (I did say I live in Italy), and a couple glasses of ice tea. Is this similar (in volume, not in actual diet) that the rest of you are eating this close to having your surgery done? My stomach seems fine, though still having what feels like heartburn coming in waves - doctor said that is normal and will go away in 2 weeks or so. I go in on Sunday to have the dressing changed (one 1 small incision), then next Friday for a follow-up. How are the rest of you doing? -
Clear liquid diet...SUCKS!!!
tabatha lynn replied to Fluffy_Gurl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks Alot!! Best of luck to you as well. I drank the EAS Carb Controll Shakes from Wal-Mart. Mixed them with some crushed ice, a little bit of milk and plain yogurt in the blender and they were pretty good. Now its no mac n cheese but after all mac n cheese is what got me here.. They are low in carbs and sugar. Plus when you add the milk and plain yogurt that gives you a little more protein. Hope this helps.. Keep us posted on how your doing!! -
At what point do i stop eating?
Melissannde replied to gloglo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try having a cup of hot tea before your meal. That should relax your band just a little bit and make it easier to eat. Bites should be the size of a english pea or a pencil eraser. Chew until liquid. Put fork down between bites. If you start getting stuck to the point of throwing up.. you're definitely too tight and need an unfill. If it hurts to eat.. you need an unfill. If all you want to eat are slider foods (yogurt, pudding, Protein drinks, soups).. you may need an unfill. (good grief.. this sounds like "you may be a redneck" jokes.. hahaha) -
@@Daisee68 How'd you do? I'm two weeks post op as of today. I haven't been eating much because I'm not hungry and broth, cream of chicken and greek yogurt can only be interesting so long. Need to "make" something.

Full Fat Mayo, cottage cheese, and yogurt
FLHappyGirl replied to Nancy MBGC's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I eat full fat cottage cheese, mayo, ricotta, etc. I stick to greek yogurt. The low fat versions typically have more carbs and don't taste good. Based on the small amount I eat it has never been a concern. -
Anyone stay on shakes for meal times longer than first couple weeks?
Orchids&Dragons replied to GansettRam74's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Honestly, since I'm hardly eating any "real food" I've got to be chock full of chemicals. Between protein shakes, protein water, sugar-free non-fat yogurt, Crystal Light, turkey bacon, light mayo, high protein snacks, etc. I'm not sure that I'm actually eating "healthier" at all -
Calling All MARCH '09 Bandsters - We need a name!
LifeStartsNow replied to gabi311b's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey Kim87 - *hey I graduated in 1987! LOL * Anyway - I'm 13 days post op and I felt exactly the same as you. I had some regret there thinking - will it stay this way? - but on day 7 felt so so so much better! I'm better everyday - can bend over just fine and sleep so much better in this last week. I'm really struggling staying on a full liquid diet - my Dr said 3 weeks liquid diet after which mean I'd be on full liquids until 3/31. I'm still trying but have eaten some mashed potatos, refried beans - that sort of thing bc I really felt like I needed it and wanted to listen to my body. I also am eating yogurt to help me feel full. I need to do more water and protien drinks - I feel like if I did that - maybe I'd feel fuller longer. I'm consuming approx 900 calories now - but I've not lost any weight in the last week. I'm hoping its b/c of all he sodium I'm consuming eating so much soup. I want to get to 1000-1200 calories and more protien as I've read so many times that people began losing once they upped the protien. What are you eating currently? you're in the mushy food stage right? What is working for you and are you doing any exercise yet? I'm starting treadmill today and going back to personal trainer next week with weights. -
I just got the ok to do strained puréed food. I can't bring myself to purée meat or eggs to the point of liquid, so I am sticking with puréed and strained yogurt and creamy soups and apple sauce. Next week I can have puréed food through a colander, like the consistency of stage 1 baby food. I don't feel hungry at all and have just been eating because I know I have to. It's still hard to get my liquids in. I had surgery on the 26th and had a large hiatal hernia repaired at the same time.

June surgery dates
mydetoxnurse replied to DenaLJ1354's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi everyone!! well i had my surgery on Monday... WOW !!! It was not as bad as I thought it would be ..the pain that is ... gas discomfort and nausea was really bad .. I stayed a little longer at the hospital, the anistesia and Morphine kicked my butt .. I stoppped taking the Morphine that first night, it just made me too nauseated.The gas x strips helped and are still helping.. everyday that passes gets better. I have my 1 week post op on tuesday. I do have to say that my head craves what my tummy cant have .. things that i have eaten and enjoyed.. popsicles -sugar free fudgcicles- sugar free greek low or nonfat vanilla yogurt thinned out with non fat milk... beef stew - pureed and thinned out oatmeal and cream of wheat thinned out with nonfat milk. soups Im fortunate my Dr. says if it pours its yours so i get a little more options that some of the other sleevers that are on clear liquids... any questions plz dont hesitate to ask ..just messsage me cause i dont always check the threads. Good luck to all the future sleevers ... i will see you on the other side -
well according to my fitness pal, one of them has 4 gms of carbs. if you fill them with meat as the recipes suggest, I doubt we'll be able to eat more than 2 of those little cupcakey things, so that's maybe 8 gms. If you're doing about 40-60 gms of carb a day, 8 is doable. I mean, yogurt has more than that so it seems doable to me.

October Surgery Dates
Clairpooh replied to RhondaWilliams's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Surgery date - 10/1/2012 Today I am actually feeling the best I've felt since before the surgery. However I am not able to drink liquid Protein shakes, Jello and broth. Luckly my NP has approved for me try yogurt, cottage cheese, and split pea Soup. Yogurt and soup is good how im still scared to try the cottage cheese. Total lost since surgery is 8 pounds. My last weigh-in was on Monday. -
The best for me has been cottage cheese-low far small curd, light and fit yogurt, no fat refried beans, and cream soups. I had split pea yesterday but had to put it through the blender first to make it real creamy.

The Crazy Ates invites all August banders to join us!
singdeborah replied to JudiM's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I had the same problem with meds. Looking for ibuprophen in liquid was difficult, my husband brought me baby ibuprophen. I told him I would have to take almost an entire bottle per dose. So that didn't work, then i got gel liquid caps and emptied them. Almost burned my mouth off. Ouch. Now I'm just crushing them. That's the least trouble. As for the other meds I take them in a spoonful of yogurt and it's not bad. Also my husband asked the pharmacist for liquid versions of some of them, I found a liquid metformin. It's horrible but liquid and better than the large pill crushed. V8 juice eases the taste quickly. Ask your doctor about liquid versions....of course when they are back from vacation. I also had that problem too. Good luck to you and blessings.:ranger: -
I Want My Band Removed Now!!!!!
austinglobe replied to yazmarrero85's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I've had a lot of challenges with the band, but I think I can offer you some support. I think what you are experiencing is normal. RIght after my surgery, I could not eat more than 1 6oz yogurt and it took me all day to eat it. I got through it by drinking apple juice mixed with water. By the end of my first month, I could eat exactly the same way I did pre-banded. I had no restriction at all after the swelling went down. I hope you start feeling better soon. -
early on - i really limited my carbs and i'm not sure if that's why i was a slow loser in the beginning or i was just lucky:rolleyes: i try to cook as many meals possible on sundays & have my house fully stocked w/good Snacks, fruits & veggies to pick on. i found if it's not in the house - i don't eat the crap (husband is also banded). till this day i still eat off a salad plate, it more than holds all i need to eat to keep me satisfied..... i really eat what i'm in the mood for these days - for example: breakfast - WW toast w/cream cheese & smoked salmon / tomato, hummus & veggies, organic waffle w/peanut butter, greek yogurt w/fiber one Cereal, veggie black bean burger w/pico de gallo.....etc. lunch - egg/chicken salad in lettuce cups, sushi, Soups such as lentil / white bean chili, salads. diner - i like to have some type of Protein w/veggies & carbs (good ones) or a salad loaded w/all the "good stuff"....i do splurge & have Pasta & mexican food occassionally. snacks - cheese, edamame, nuts, greek yogurt, fruit. i exercise 5 days a wk - some days harder than others & i've realized on the hard days ... i will eat more.

Group- 5 day Pouch Test
mynewlife86 replied to Lovinglapbandliving's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
yes yesterday was hard! I was starving but I embraced what I read about "drink as much as you want" lol I was drinking all day! I had slim fast shakes, muscle milk, crystal light, broth, soup, a latte and last night I was really feeling deprived so I scooped some frozen yogurt into the blender with some ensure. That's liquid right?! lol Today has been easier and I've actually toyed with the idea of doing another liquid day. I think it's really breaking my grazing habit well maybe not "breakig it" but it's making me realize how often I want to stick food in my mouth! and I'm really feeling again what hunger feels like! good luck to you!!! yes stock up and remember you can have all the liquids you want :thumbup: -
