Summer 2018 Surgery Buddies Check In Here!
ElanBri replied to Ylime's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good Morning All! Congratulations and good luck to everyone that's on/heading to the Loser's Bench this week! Day 2 of pre-op diet today. I'm full liquids, so that's 5 protein shakes, 50 calories of clear liquid, 1 cup of strained soup/yogurt/pudding. I'm very tired and have a headache. I'm hoping the fog clears soon. -
????Any May Gastric Bypass peeps????
RNYGal replied to Salonboi's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
So, I need to vent/complain for a minute. I am so ridiculously sick of liquids. I'm hungry, miserable, and it sucks that I have to cook for my family and I have to watch them eat. I'm a week and a day out. Sunday needs to hurry up so I can at least have yogurt and some mashed potatoes. Sry I just needed to B**&& for a min. Ugh. -
JDI....yes you can stretch your pouch. I think I have done that, in addition to the band relaxing somewhat. I've gone from being able to eat only a 1/2 c of food to a cup before...within just a few weeks of having a fill. And...on the ice cream note...I tried some Health Choice vanilla bean Greek frozen yogurt over the weekend. Yum! NJ2NC: If I already posted this...I apologize. i did do another 5k just 2 or 3 months after surgery, then did a 2 mile walk the next day for March of Dimes. My next 5k is about four weeks away and I've already walked the route on my lunch hour one day last week. I'm looking forward to it. Keep it up...you'll be calling yourself a "runner" in no time. Nicole 1: My doctor has told me to do the same thing...pretty much since the day of my surgery. Its tough to do sometimes....but I do try to cut my food into very small pieces. Someone gave me a great idea of using a baby spoon and fork to eat with. It might look silly, but it does help to take smaller bites. i found a shrimp fork at a store called Old Time Pottery...and its perfect!

Hi all March 2014 Sleevers..! This is my first post, so here goes! My surgery was on 3/4. I am doing really well overall. I have GERD and did have some lingering discomfort when swallowing anything the first few days, but then it subsided. The first 3 days were Clear liquids only, which to me was the hardest b/c it's BORING. But honestly you're kinda beat, and not very hungry anyway. By day 4, when I could add full liquids I started with alot of Soups, and did ok with that. S.F. pudding, and greek yogurt become your friends too. Once I was able to add eggs, cheese, and soft fish I became extremely happy and hopeful. Protein IS A MUST PEOPLE! Find a good Protein shake, and stick with it. I get my 65-75gms of Protein a day by eating right, and those shakes give you 50gms on their own! Use them as a snack between your meals. I have been very optimistic from start to my current status. I never got down on myself or the process, but I totally understand how it can happen. Just know that this is going to change your life for the better! You may have some hiccups/roadblocks, but ultimately you will be a healthier you! Good luck to all the pre-surgery folks, and also to those who like me are just starting out. :-)

Every surgeon is different. I am also on puree and I can have puree fruit and veggies as long as it isn't corn, celery or anything stringy. I can have puree chicken and tuna, mashed potatoes, puree eggs, vegetable juice, cottage cheese, milk, light Greek yogurt, puree soups, light margarine, light mayo or salad dressing, oatmeal, apple sauce, cream of wheat. Its a pretty big variety. Next appt is next Wednesday and hoping to progress to soft foods. Hope everyone is doing well.

????Any May Gastric Bypass peeps????
Salonboi replied to Salonboi's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I've been there before, loved the king of Prussia mall.. I had training up there 15 yes ago. I'm from Charlotte NC .. Been here most of my life. I was born in Louisiana while my father was in the army, but my family are from Michigan.Very interesting that not only have you heard of King of Prussia, you've been here before. And yes , first thing people say is " great mall". Lol. It is a great mall , not being much of a shopper , I'm not there much. I live about a mile from that mall. So your in NC, how nice. I hear how southerns are so nice and hospitable. So not the case with Northerns. Well I consider myself nice. Just saying we have reputation of being rude and move / talk fast. Anyway, I feel pretty good today. And I also am no longer taking pain meds. Today is 12 days out for me. Oh , going to grocery store today, getting ready for when I can start eating soft / puréed. I did "cheat" a little this morning. Had a bit of Greek yogurt. Went down nicely without a problem. Don't wanna push it to quickly.I'm not much of a mall person either. But yes it was a great mall. Yes us southerners are mostly friendly, and I know not all northerners are rude lol. We just love everyone down south, and want to make sure you don't need a cold glass of something for refreshment ????I started a day early with sampling puréed food and no issues. Glad to hear you had no issues with yogurt. -

How much yogurt?
piercedqt78 replied to Melissa1234's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
A "single serve" container made 3 servings for me the first week I was able to have yogurt. I also bought a popsicle mold and made frozen yogurt pops. I made 4 pops out of one of those containers. I also made sugar pudding free pops, they were amazing. -
How much yogurt?
MollyWobbles replied to Melissa1234's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can eat about 2oz yogurt right now, I'm 9 days out and just started pureed. -
Sw 265 Cw 225 I think. Need to weigh. I might be down more that was last week. Put on a pair of pants today that used to fit like a glove. There is a full 2 inches of room around the entire pant-size 18. Just last week I bought 2 pairs of size 16 pants so I have pants for work. I am currently in all my 'skinny' pants. Love that! Can't wait until I cannot wear those anymore!! For your food challenge I would say get some hummus and pita-heat up the pita-I get mini pitas and then smear some hummus on top and sprinkle with feta. I also love to make a quesadilla- put a little olive oil in a pan place a small corn tortilla flat is the pan let it heat up, smear a little salsa on the tortilla then sprinkle with lowfat shredded cheese. Also, I love beef jerky as a snack and Peanut Butter with crackers. I have a hard time digesting meat so I eat a lot of yogurt too. Mix in a little granola or some seeds or fresh fruit to change it up a bit. I love string cheese-best bariatric snack ever. The other cheese I like is the laughing cows-one of those and some crackers is good. Also, make some tuna salad or egg salad with lite mayo, some green onions. Get some variety in or you will be bored of food!

I leave for Mexico one week from today... Im all packed and ready to go... but mentally Im spinning out of control! LOL calm one minute, emotional the next...

I was sleeved on the 16th and am currently on soft foods phase. Has anyone tried fresh greenbeans? I just strung and broke a whole pot of them but not sure if I should try them or not. I have done ok on eggs, cottage cheese and yogurt but can only eat about quarter of a cup and then wait 30 mins and do the other half of the cup. -

cutiecake replied to KimGettingSlim's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Every doctor is different! We were told after 3 days of liquids to start the mushy food phase. 60 grams of protein per day. Cottage cheese, yogurt, retried beans, tuna ,etc. along with protein drinks everyday, mashed potatoes is on the list as well, haven't tried them though. I don't want to eat carbs without the protein. I haven't had any issues. -
Summer 2018 Surgery Buddies Check In Here!
ALFxRNY replied to Ylime's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My liquid diet isn’t too bad. 3 protein shakes a day and they asked that I also eat 2 yogurts but I can only manage 1. Your liver must not need to be shrunk much. Lucky you! And same about the nothing after midnight. I don’t mind the not eating food part but I LOVE water and my surgery is late in the day (3:15pm, have to be there by 1:45pm) so I will be parched for a while, lol -
Not getting enough calories
cindyw41 replied to parsonsholsten3's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Stay on a schedule, pre plan your meals and Snacks. You're probably not feeling hungry so staying on a schedule helps. Set your phone alarm, fit bit alarm or the like as a reminder to eat. Some of my snacks are: Sargento snack sticks, hard boiled eggs, lunch meat and yogurt. Keep anything that is in small portions ready to eat that is low fat, low carb with Protein on hand. What are your protein requirements? Mine is 90-100 My Calorie is min 600 max of 800 and I'm just about 6 months out. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
i know there is a lot of answers through out this forum but i wanted to hear from you guys what you are doing for your snacks. i do a shake for breakfast and lunch and usually chicken or ground turkey for dinner, but in between those meals, ive only really been doing a string cheese here or there. sometimes a yogurt. i just wanted some new and fresh ideas if anyone could offer some suggestions. thanks!

How Long Do Stalls Last?
NCL04321 replied to CarmenG's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I agree with you!! I am so paranoid about eating too many calories and so i under eat! I am 3.5 months out of sleeve surgery and I think my body is in starvation mode. I'm going to try to up my calories to 600 and see if that breaks my somewhat stall. i was drinking a protein shake at night but i figured its like 160 calories before bed.....not sure if that is good for me. I drink it in the morning now as breakfast. Then i will have no fat cottage cheese or greek yogurt as a snack a couple hours after dinner. -
Ok so I have been on Clear liquids since 1/20. My surgery was on 1/27. Today the MD gave the go ahead to cottage cheese, yogurt, etc. & Protein shakes. I feel fine but everything is running right through me. Is this normal? The hospital said to be ion the watch for C-dif but I don't have any symptoms. Does it just take some time for your digestive system to normalize? Thanks in advance for any comments

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 -
Try plain ff Greek yogurt mixed with extract and Splenda, Lime juice and Splenda, (like key lime pie) Fresh strawberries are AWESOME in it, Unsweetened cocoa powder and Splenda (tastes like chocolate mousse!) Haven't tried, but I hear that sugar free jams are good, Torani sugar free syrups, Crystal Light powder, You would just have to play around with amounts to suit your taste. I also use the ff plain Greek yogurt as sour cream, add chives, s & p, and a drop of lemon juice to top a potato. Mix with salsa for a dip Add ranch dressing powder for a dip for veggies or thin it out with water for salad dressing. I even made a creamy honey mustard last night, ff plain Greek yogurt, yellow mustard, lemon juice, pinch of dry mustard, s & p and Splenda. Let me know how you like these recipes. BTW, I didn't like Fage, Oikos, etc...either, I actually like the Shoprite brand best, and Yoplait, love the key lime, but I don't eat it too often because of the carbs.

I made some fresh yogurt. Chipotle chicken broth mixed with mashed potatoes instead of Water is great. Have not tried refried Beans yet. Made deviled eggs and ate one. thats my mushy experience so far.

Ate a whole 5oz cup of yogurt
SnohoGal98296 replied to Shiner86's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am on Day 4 and I ate about 6 oz of yogurt today too - I took me quite a bit a longer, but for about an hour afterwards I felt as if I had eaten a big meal - I had my husband walk me around the yard, it really helped - walking helps with my tummy rumbling and swallowed air pain. But - I was still surprised that I could consume the yogurt - it took about 30-40 minutes total. I do have to say that today is the first time where I feel more human again. The first 3 days (surgery day being day 0) had me feeling pretty wifty in the head, I couldn't drink anything more substantial than water with a splash of G2, I did find that Unjury Chicken Broth really helped me to be able to consume some protein because I was really worried about how little actually calories I was eating. But today is a new day and I am feeling so good that I am not too concerned about the yogurt. Day 14 is when I transition to Soft Foods. -

Karen Scott replied to Tracis weight loss journey's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did not like the fage yogurt even though it has 18grams protein taste so bad but I read a few threads and have now bought the sugar free syrup and used some in it. Delisssshhhhh. Mmmmmm!!! Try it guys. 18 grams of protein can't beat that.
