I'm so happy, I just had to give an update. I am 5 weeks post op as of tomorrow and up until Saturday I was really starting to question whether or not this surgery was a good thing for me. I can now happily say it is. I woke up on Saturday feeling great! The pains, the nausea, the overall YUK feeling seemed to of vanished overnight. I was feeling so bad the week prior that I went in to see my doctor and they rushed me in for a CT scan. Turns out everything was good with the sleeve, I was taking longer to heal and that last stitch, the big one they talk about was giving me all the pain. Every time I moved, stretched, sat, stood or did anything it hurt like hell. It would literally stop me in my tracks. Turns out I also had a kidney infection so a round of antibiotics knocked that out. I kept reading peoples posts here about having patience and that everyone is different and most were feeling great by week 3. I was confused, I just seemed to be feeling worse as the weeks went on. Well I can say now, just listen to your own body! I have felt great these past 3 days, no pain, full of energy, able to get all my pills, potions and liquids in and I am starting to lose weight again. I was so happy I jumped on the scale this morning and I am down 53.5lbs from the start of my journey. I am also so happy to be off the Clear Liquids. i did that for 3 weeks pre surgery and for 4 weeks post surgery. i have completely indulged in creamy Soups, yogurt and Jello this week! Just remember if you hit a wall, slow down, listen to your own body and just be patient ...... this is a great thing we are all doing.

My Pre op diet consists of 4oz cooked Protein, 4oz frozen or fresh vegetables,4oz fresh or frozen fruit, 8oz non fat or 1% milk or plain low fat yogurt. So to spread it out through the day this is what i've been doing. Breakfast-1oz string cheese, 2oz apple slices. Mid morning 8oz Protein Drink w/non fat milk. Lunch-1 1/2oz grilled chicken, 2oz green Beans. Mid afternoon 8oz protein drink w/water Dinner-1 1/2 oz chicken OR fish, 2oz green beans, 2oz orange OR apple slices. My last meal is at 6pm..oh, and drink lots of Water. My pre op appointment is this friday the 12th and i assume they will tell me to start my liquid diet 2 days before my surgery. I've also been getting headaches and sweating for some reason..the sweating is on and off..i don't know what that's all about.

I am right out of being banded on Tuesday, 7/23. I have had a really tough time. I was in surgery much longer than planned, a little over 3 hours. He ran into some problems with my surgery. He thought he was going to have to cut me open, but thank God he didn't have too. I was sent home that night, and must admit yesterday was a horrible day. There was a few times I thought, omg what have I done to myself. Last night was a little better than the night before as in pain and sleep. Today, the morning started off rough but as the day went on I have felt like I am starting to slowly improve. I wasn't able to get anything down yesterday but ice chips and some popsicles. Today I have been able to eat a small amount of greek yogurt and very small amount of potato soup. I have a lot of bruising, but sure thats where they had such a tough time. I am praying that tomorrow will bring me a better day. I am kinda surprised by this, as normally I tolerate pain pretty well.. but this one has kicked my butt. Any suggestions on how long before I hopefully start bouncing back some..

Angie that wasn't so bad. We have a tool, we aren't expected to snap and change overnight. I sure hope your daughter isn't that bad, and that she will recover. Today is a new day, start fresh. b- Protein drink (not the shake just a premade driink), and I think I'll get a scrambled egg l- 1/2 cup chicken salad 1 canned pear (last nights dinner, ate yesterday's lunch for dinner) s - activia yogurt d - pork roast and a little of whatever else mom makes with it s - a bite if that chocolate cake she baked for the heck of it and a big glass of milk.

The purpose of the pre-op diet is to shrink your liver not to lose weight (a smaller liver makes it easier for the doctor to install the lap-band during the surgery). Based on the diet you described, you are already having carbs, anyhow (grits, frozen yogurt, etc) so I wouldn't lose any sleep over this.

Hey all. Not sure if you all remember me, I was the girl that might have the problem with insurance. Turns out they said they'd cover til the end of the month so my surgery was covered. My follow-up appt wont be covered do to the switch to my new insurance, but they said they'll back date it... so yeah!! March 20th was the D-day... so I'm officially 5 days post op!! Anyhow... they said I did great. My liver was enlarged and fatty... big surprised. I was in recovery FOREVER waiting on a room but it was worth the wait... had an AMAZING recovery nurse and the room was HUGE... felt like I was in a hotel. Lol. New furniture and all. (they just opened their own bariatric wing this year at hopkins). The over night nurse was wonderful and she had a trainee with her who was just as great. They were RIGHT on top of it, if I need ANYTHING. I was nausated for a good day afterwards... plenty of anti-nausea medication!!! The gas pain didnt start til I was post-op two days but is finally gone. I'm getting liquids down more now. Easier. How do people get enough Protein in at this stage? I'll put some in my carnation instant Breakfast. I plan to add it to things when I'm doing puree starting Friday. :thumbup: My left side is starting to really bother me at times. Like out of the blue I'll get a pain from around my port. Can't WAIT for that to be over. :tongue: I am sooo tired of yogurt, pudding, chicken broth, and crystal light I could scream. I can not wait to just have some mashed potatoes, bananas, heck even some baby food looks yummy at this point. I just just cant wait to be able to choose alittle more of what I can eat!!

The eas shakes they used to taste ok when I cud chug then lol. Ohhh yogurt wud b a treattt

Maybe try KEFIR thick liquid yogurt drink. You need your shakes to give you your protein, almond milk will give you some but its alot of calories for not alot of protein I just checked my hubbies carton and his was 80 calories 1gram of protein, maybe his isnt the best . Im sure theres better out there. Also try Premier Protein shakes thet taste great over ice. 30 grams of protein 1 gram of sugar 5 carbs hope this helps. Good luck.

I started soft foods this weekend. Have been doing great. So thrilled to be off liquids! But today was my first full day back at the office and I didn't plan well enough. I only took a small yogurt and a protein shake (gag). By the end of the day, I felt puny and knew I needed to eat. Got home, fixed my tuna and ate too fast. Did not throw up but felt sick for 3 hours. Lessons learned: Pack adequate nutrition! Don't eat fast! I know all this but had to still learn the hard way I guess.

How long does it usually last? I can't eat even yogurt or pudding without feeling like it can hardly go through. Then it feels very uncomfortable for quite a while after. I go for my first feel in 2 weeks. I hope I'm back to normal by then..

Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, retried beans, sweet potatoes, baked potatoes, split pea soup, ricotta cheese w/pizza sauce, ( awesome) canned tuna/chicken/salmon, hummus, eggsalad! The possibilities are endless!!!!!! I actually looooved the mushy stage:)

Healthy Choice came out with a frozen Greek yogurt that is low in sugar and has Protein. I tried and loved the blueberry. It's pricy and only comes with three individual servings but it will work for me this summer when everyone else is having ice cream. The only trouble I have is keeping my hubby from eating the whole thing before I get to eat even one! :-) Chobani has 'Champion tubes' that is strained Greek yogurt made for kids. It has 80cals, 8g sugar, 9g carbs, & 5g protein. You can eat it on the go from the to be or freeze for a treat. I bought it but haven't tried it yet.

Holiday's suck when you cant eat!!!
heather316 replied to kbush's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel your pain. I have guests coming over for dinner. I made a 3 course meal, baked bread and cannot touch any of it. I will stick to my yogurt and shake. -
Cream of wheat or oatmeal if you stop at a gas station and get hot water, grocery stores should have hummus in the deli. applesauce, jello, pudding, cottage cheese, yogurt, baby food if you can stand the taste of it, mashed potatoes if you go out to eat, I was able to eat scrambled eggs on my mushy phase and refried beans. Maybe this will help, I will try to think of more.

You have to eat and drink whether or not you feel like it. I am basically living off of yogurt, tuna, chicken and cheese.

Embarrssing Bathroom Issue
honk replied to Missy05.29.12's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I take Benefiber and fiber gummies couple in the morning and at night. I also add unflavored benefiber to my morning yogurt and have no problems. -
I'm not hungry at all, but I don't feel a restriction when eating food ( yogurt, pudding, refried beans etc). I'm keeping my calories between 500-800 and since being in stage two I haven't lost any weight. It's discouraging but I know it will get better. I know I'll start losing again... But it's still discouraging.

Hello! I'm three weeks post op and just started the soft foods phase. I can get down maybe a tablespoon of egg, 3/4 of an Oikos Triple Zero yogurt and a cheese stick all day. Is that enough? I'm also taking my vitamin and trying to get all that water down.

I am wanting some more variety. I have had a lot of cream of whatever Soups, yogurt, malt-o-meal. I also had some broth from homemade chicken Soup. That was great! =) I have been thinking...maybe broth from wonton soup? Maybe potato soup from Claim jumper? (strained of course) Do these sound ok? Anything else? Thanks. =)

I'll be 6 days postop on Christmas. Doctor said I could try yogurt and cottage cheese by day 4, will try later today. If that goes well, would it be okay to try some thinned mashed potatoes or yams, or.. something usually served for the holiday?

Clear Liquids After Surgery
Bamabander replied to ☠carolinagirl☠'s topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm allowed protein shakes, any soup that's blended and yogurt smoothies, and then Popsicles, crystal light, etc The soup makes it so much better! So excited its your turn!!!! -
I had my surgery June of 2015 - so I'm in your range. I'm in maintenance and eat 1200-1400 kcal a day. I malabsorb Protein, so I make a double Protein shake every morning and sip on it all day. So that's like 200-300 calories right there, depending on what I put in it. Then I usually eat around 200 kcal for Breakfast, around 300 or so for lunch and dinner. I often have a snack in the evening, too - like yogurt. If I didn't do the protein shake, I'd probably have a couple of low-calorie Snacks during the day, like a hard-boiled egg or one of those Fit & Light Greek yogurts. I'm not a gym rat, but I try to get to the gym 2-3 times a week (mostly strength-training and/or Water aerobics). I also go to a yoga class 1-2x a week.

The gas pain is horrible...I take Gas-x, pepcid, and Tums!! I alternate between them. My incision is pretty sore also. I can't sit for too long, I can't lay down for too long, I cant stand for too long! AHHHHHHHHHH! Can't wait for this part to be over. The good part is that I have lost like 7 pounds since surgery! It takes me 3 sittings to eat a 6 oz yogurt! I am sick of the shakes so what I do it put 2 scoops in 4 oz of skim milk and ice, blend it well so that way I only have to drink it once a day instead of twice or three times. I wanna sleep on my belly again too!!
