2 weeks. The crunchies are tiny and NUT said as long as I chew enough that they disappear it's ok. The yogurt is yummy without em too though. -
Omg Yopa is the best! 18 gr protein too
CrissyRing77 replied to XXShelXX's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Do you know the serving size? I can have only 6grams of sugar per 1/4 cup serving, which is close to this if it's a half cup cup of yogurt...I am clear for all foods just have certain healthy guidelines I need to follow. Sounds delish! -

The Healthy Choice Greek Frozen yogurt is my favorite :-) -
I had surgery on the 16. Getting my protien and Water in but nauseous a lot. Also very tired. Supposed to go back to work on Thursday, don't know if I will have enough energy... I had some bathroom issues, I took one Imodium ad and a couple spoonfuls of Greek yogurt, that helped.

Did you recieve a booklet that was for post-op? I got two. They look alike. One is for post-op. The front cover has a womans picture and it says "I can succeed." They actually look just alike. I got one post op and the other in my pre op info folder. The booklet is by "Inamed Health," the company that makes the band. That might really scare ya, I am sitting here reading this sentence..Your stomach can only hold 1/4 cup of food ( or 2 oz.)at one time. Eat 3 small meals. It is page 2 of the booklet. I am assuming they are talking about right after surgery. It also says it is very important the first few weeks to avoid putting pressure on the new stomach above the band. If you have an Inamed Band your doctor's office will have this booklet. It is very informative. But as always follow your doctors orders to take care of the band. I am still post-op liquids. But not after Wed. I get mushies, purees, pudding, yogurt, hot cereals, ect. I am looking forward to it too. Good Luck.

Hunger, Cravings, etc. Post-Op
Spiceyfrog replied to sarahbee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@ejones8979 when I went to my post-op appointment last Friday, the doctor told me I could transition this Tuesday, which will be two weeks exactly. I am looking forward to it, but more for a change of pace, not that I am craving food. I went shopping today and stocked up on Soup, yogurt, pudding and cottage cheese :-) -
What are your go-to foods?
SouthJerseySleever replied to MSinger's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Everyday I have an oikos triple zero yogurt, a premier protein shake, cheese sticks for snack, and lately I've been loving chicken sausage from aldi. 1 link is 15g protein & the flavor is really good, my current fav is tomato basil. I also eat Starkist Tuna Creations pretty regularly. I try to get the most bang for my buck when it comes to protein. I also keep a bag of lightly salted edemamae in my purse. -
Anything soft bit now I can start eating more solids like chicken thighs I've been eating chicken burgers or fish for dinner Lunch cottage cheese or yogurt Breakfast eggs or far in oh and oatmeal lol not much and twice a day my protein drink !

I have a serious question... I know, right?!?!
fernandfj replied to KindaFamiliar's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm almost 11 months form surgery and have found that my stalls break when I increase my carbohydrate intake. My weight fluctuates like crazy but the trend remains (so far, thankfully) downward. I am lucky in that my stalls have only lasted a week or so up to now. I have a hard time with the concept to have to eat more to lose more, but it really works. As it stands now, daily I eat a minimum of 120 gms of Protein, 40-45 gms of fat and 100-110 gms of carbs. In calories that adds up to about 1300 a day. I eat three meals a day and then have a mid morning, mid afternoon and post dinner snack (usually fruit, Greek yogurt or a protein bar/protein chips). After quite a few variations I discovered that this eating pace keeps my head (and real) hunger at bay. I also track on myfitnesspal faithfully. I have also been really bad about exercising, although I recently started to reverse that. Good luck and I hope this helps! -
I had a sf kona ice early out too and it made me so sick! So do sf slurpees. St popsicles are fine- I think the flavorings must me too concentrated or something like that. I got some sf butterscotch candies that I am realizing give me the sweats and hot flash- I'm wondering if they are really sf or if maybe they have a high sugar alcohol. This is a trial and error area for sure! I ate something on Saturday that made me so nauseous and gassy for hours and can't figure it out- I only ate yogurt, yoplait 100. I'm wondering if it uses the same artificial sweetener! Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 196.6 GW 135

Any November 14Th Sleevers?
ozeedonkee replied to veronica84's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Also, when you start pureed fish or mashed eggs, make them as moist as possible. I add a little mayo or greek yogurt. Helps a lot -
I need some suggestions! And was wondering what your phase 2 is for food? Please I’m allowed yogurt , cottage cheese and mash potatoes

6 Months post surgery, minimal to no weight loss
invisiblyhappy replied to invisiblyhappy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sure, I was really distressed about the amount of food I ate two days ago I think it will be a decent example. 1 icelandic skyr coldbrew yogurt 1 cup coffee + sugar free cream 1 capri sun 4 oz of steak cooked in 1tbsp olive oil & minced garlic 1 chocolate premier protein shake 1 strawberry atkins protein shake (it's half the protein of the premier ones) 1 scoop vanilla isopure protein blended with 1/4 banana, 1 strawberry, 4 blueberries, 8 oz darigold fit protein milk 3 oz chicken, 1/4 cup macaroni this kind of is similar to a daily menu. the steak happens maybe once every 3 days, chicken is an every day staple. coffee is a one or two time a week option. yogurt is typically every day, but sometimes is subsituted with oats overnight bottles that are mixed with the protein milk. -edit- I'm stuck in this cycle of feeling hungry, then feeling guilty after I eat because I realize i ate food and I haven't been losing enough weight, then i don't want to eat again for a long time because I want to lose the weight, then i feel starving, then i eat, then i feel guilty, etc etc. It's a really shitty loop I'm stuck in. -
PROTEIN HELP PLEASE!
KittyKat848 replied to drobinson1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I make hummus at least once a week. For dippers, I buy Kraft Deli Deluxe cheese (yes, it matters) and cut a slice into 9 even squares. Then I arrange them into a circle on parchment paper in my microwave. Cook on high for 45 seconds. Viola. Little crunchy cheese crackers. 80 calories, >1 carb and 5 grams of Protein. I also use "Just Great Stuff" powdered organic Peanut Butter powder. It isn't unnatural -- it's made with organic peanuts, organic coconut sugar and sea salt. It has 45 calories in 2 TBs and only 1.5 grams of fat. It has 5 g of carbs (1 is fiber) -- so it'd be hard to make you dump. It also has 4 grams of protein. I mix 1 T with a 1/4 of PLAIN greek yogurt. It is delicious. Greek yogurt has about 22 grams of protein per cup -- so about 6 grams in my 1/4 cup. This can be eaten plain or you can use it as a very healthy dip --- my son loves to eat it on apple slices. -
Any September surgeries out there
dreamsawaken replied to SueC1's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi. I got lucky and my surgeon/NUT had me on pureed 2 days after surgery. The 1st in the hospital was oatmeal, and then some formed pureed chicken, peas and mashed taters for lunch. taters were good, mixed em in with the chicken, left the peas alone. I have been eating oatmeal for fiber (helps to regulate the output, lol) -- with some Prot Pwdr mixed in, yogurt, pureed soups (with extra PP mixed in), shakes (but not too many luckily), refried beans with melted cheese, scrambled eggs with melted cheese, and very mushy/pureed chicken, egg and salmon salad. I also pureed some LF Turkey chili... Have also had 'fun' making 'super puddings'... Sugar free pudding with Prot pwdr, milk and and add in if I can think of one. Best one yet-- jello SF choc fudge pudding, unjury choc splendor powder ---chocolatey goodness....and then swirl in a Tbsp of peanut butter when I eat it for an extra 7-8 g of protein. I am not hungry, getting in about 60-70g a day... more like watching the clock and eating on cue. I get the mouth hunger though....haven't been tempted - tempted enough to cheat, but this AM I was thinking "I really would love something crunchy...." and "I want bread"... funny, a friend of mine had this 7 yrs ago...told me she had the mouth hunger/craving for crunchy....shoved a whole handful of doritos in her mounth, chewed it up, then spit them out, just to relieve it. LMAO. I am not there....yet. On another note, I found a company that makes comfort food type stuff, lo fat, lo sugar... out of dried ingredients, so when it arrives, it is in powder form. you add hot or cold water, and they 'say' that it smells and tastes like the 'real food'....even tho it looks like pudding. I ordered a few things, so will let you know.... I ordered the higher protein 'entrees'....like mac& cheese, fiesta tacos, bbq with cornbread. I am both scared and excited to see how these are. LOL. Company is "Pure-a". I have my 2 week check up with surgeon tomorrow .... and 2 more weeks left on pureeds. I think I can make it. :-) HW (Jan 2013) 231 SW (9/23/2013) 222 CW (10/6) 211 I am 5'1". :-) so far, so good. -
Plz help, need menu ides for post-op
MommyTo4QTs replied to MommyTo4QTs's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you all for your wonderful suggestions! And please, keep them coming. A couple more questions for you all...some of the suggestions I noticed are great for Protein, like Beans and the fruit would be great to add to the yogurt or Protein shakes, however I know that they have quite a high carb content. Would the high protein tend to cancel out the carbs a bit, like in the Atkins diet? How many carbs do you all eat in one day? I really do not like the protein shakes, I think they taste awful, I have tried both the Atkins and the one (can't remember the name now) for Body for Life in the silver box/cans. But I do like the idea of the fat free milk and powder..does that taste decent? Any others you may have tried that taste pretty good? I noticed some mentioned eggs, do you all eat many eggs, or maybe the egg whites? Also how would I use the ricotta cheese that you mentioned, do you just eat it by itself? I did go to the store tonight and bought the plain greek yogurt, my sister suggested adding cinnamon and some splenda, I did notice a few people suggested that (thank you Marilyn). I also bought non fat cottage cheese, Weight Watchers string cheese, tuna, instead of low fat mayo, I found the sandwich spread that looks kind of like a dressing with pickles, etc in it (found in with the mayo), I thought it would taste better and has 2.5 fat, 3 carbs and 35 calories per TB. I thought I would put it in with the tuna and make the one TB go a long way, what do you think? I also bought a low calorie butter by Land o Lakes that I could use to pan fry the fish. What do you all think of Peanut Butter? Its a little higher in carbs as well. Realistically how much protein do you all think you get and do you keep track of how many carbs, fat, protein and calories you take in every day? Or do you just try to be careful and do the best you can? I am so sorry for the looonngg posts with many questions, but I appreciate all your help immensely, I need mentors as I go through this process! Thank you so much for all your help! Your all life savers, really! April -

Do you still enjoy eating?
Hollie519 replied to Sooverit!'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh how sad for you realmccoy. I love food still. I have always loved healthy food. I just never knew when to stop eating. There are so many good healthy choices that you can make. Even as a dessert I can eat frozen yogurt. Its sugar free and 160 calories in a pretty big serving. Granted yogurt doesn't make you stay full for very long but i never seem to be unsatisfied. I don't obsess about food the way I used to. If I'm full, I don't eat. There used to be a time where I could have eaten and someone asked me if i wanted to go out to get something and i would. Uhh it grosses me out now thinking how I used to over indulge myself every single day. The lap band has saved my life. -
November 09 Knockouts! Check in here POST surgery! :)
finallyncontrol replied to PrincipalsOffice's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
skinnygirl, sorry for the delayed response...I agree that we all should share all the do's and the don'ts!!! I have had 3 fills to get to the 5 cc's..I have great restriction now. I see my doctor every month regardless if I need to or not..which I like! I will start with the bad..I use pineapple juice if I get stuck..which has only happened 4 times. The pineapple juice works wonderfully..relief within minutes!! Exercise...I walk and I walk daily..that and chase my 2 year old son around. Once the weather gets a little warmer I will swim. My doctor pushes walking and I agree with him. I am starting to carry hand weights but that is it. I do like to ride bicycles but my husband has a bad knee so we don't do that as often as I would like. Diet..I am not a morning eater (just how I was raised) so Monday-Friday..protein shake--Myoplex Lite 20gr protein...Sat & Sun omelet (I have more time to make it). Lunch Tuna or Chicken Salad either made with mayo or cottage cheese, cheese, egg & relish with a couple of crackers or 2 pieces of cheese rolled up in deli meat or salad. For snacks I eat Chobani yogurt or SF pudding. Now for dinner...the one thing that as soon as got off of mushies after surgery I committed to myself and my family was this was a lifetime committment not a diet. I prepare dinner for all of us quite similar to before being banded only I eat a much smaller portion. I also may make it a little more healthier. I can eat pretty much anything..I haven't tried steak..but..last night we had BBQ Chicken, tator tots, green beans. I had..2 oz of chkn, 1/4 cup of green beens and 3 tator tots and was full. My family was thrilled and they were able to put on more BBQ sauce if they wanted..mine had the flavor on it. I also have found some different recipes that we have tried..we vote on them..some we make again..others we don't. I hope this helps!!

November 09 Knockouts! Check in here POST surgery! :)
SusanC is ready replied to PrincipalsOffice's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I had my surgery 11/17. Was on clear liquids Wed. and Thursday, then moved to full liquids, which really helped the little bit of hunger I was starting to feel. I am just taking it kinda slow. There is no way I can eat the 1/2 cup of yogurt or sugar free fat free pudding im allowed! Am already loving this band thing...lol I feel a good amount of restriction. Its probably due to swelling, but hey, ill take restriction any way I can.... Pain wise, im doing well. A little pain when getting up from something low but other wise not bad. Never have had pain in the stomach area, just in the port site. Goin back to work Monday, but I have a desk job for the most part. Got my pedometer ready to walk on my breaks.. MD says work up to 2 miles a day asap! Well... off to get 1/2 cup of decaf coffee..... Everyone have a blessed day! -
November 09 Knockouts! Check in here POST surgery! :)
PrincipalsOffice replied to PrincipalsOffice's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Soexcited - I'm totally with you! I only had to do one week of pre op and lost 9 pounds. Since surgery (2 weeks tomorrow) I have only lost 6. Well 6 one day. 4 the next. I have been going up and down 1-2 pounds for past week. I realize I have added mushies, but I am still eating under 900 calories a day and exercising.... so I'm not sure why I'm not losing. This is my typical day: 8 AM: Protein shake (160 cal, 15 gr protein) 11AM: 1/4 cup canned chicken w sprinkle shredded cheese or 1/4 cup chili (120 cal, 10-15 gr protein) 3PM: Protein Shake (160 cal, 15 gr protein) 6PM: 1/4 chili or 1/4 cup canned salmon (80-120 cal, 8-10 gr protein) 9PM: protein shake (160 cal, 15 gr protein) That's 710 calories and 60-70 gr of protein. I may have a 1/2 cup of oatmeal or yogurt on mornings when the shake doesnt "do it" for me, so maybe an additional 50 calories.... I think I'm going to email the nurtritionist and see what's going on. Maybe I need to UP my calories.... -
Finding The Lap Band Green Zone
TinaMarieB replied to Alex Brecher's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am so unsure if what I am feeling is related to the fill, just because of the band, or is something wrong? I tend to have discomfort (not pain) under my rib area on the side of my port access. This usually happens when I have been sitting for a period of time (long car rides) and not all the time. Also, it is difficult to eat Breakfast. I can barely get my meds down and 3 oz. of greek yogurt, taking me about 45 minutes. Is this normal? BTW, weight loss has slowed to about 1.5 lbs /week. (I was banded in August 2011 and am currently down 60 lbs, for a total of 90 lbs off.) -
Hello all, I too am an April 5th bandster! I was totally expecting to be a later April bandster but got my insurance approval on 3/25 and they scheduled surgery on 4/6. There was a change in my pre-op appt. (originally for 3/28) so I saw the doc and signed all the consents on 3/31. At that point, I had lost 10 lbs and my BMI was 37 so doc said I did not have to do the pre-op liquid diet!!! That was the best news ever because like Woodslass I HATE protein shakes. And usually my doc requires 1 to 2 weeks of nothing but Carnation Breakfast drink and water. I then got a call from my doc on 4/3 and he moved up surgery by a day to 4/5 due to needing to attend an out of state funeral. So, here I am 6 days out and finally feeling pretty good. I had a hiatal hernia that was repaired during the surgery and doc said it was much bigger and worse than he expected so I was in OR for 2 hours instead of the 45 min to 1 hour he had originally predicted. Because of that, I think I have been in much more pain and much weaker than I would have been with just lap band. I usually bounce back from surgery and pain quickly but this time, it kicked my butt. I finally weaned myself off pain meds as of yesterday though!! I also walked around the block yesterday and drove my daughter 2 blocks to school today. Getting there!! I am really struggling with getting enough protein because as I said I also hate them, the texture and aftertaste are awful and it takes me over an hour of sipping and sipping water after each sip to get it into me, ugh!! I don't know how I am going to make it through another week!! I have had some cream of chicken soup and tomato soup but the protein level is pretty low. I cant wait till I can get my protein with scrambled eggs and yogurt!!! I empathize with lack of BM (one very small this AM and thats it) and gas pains....they come and go though. Hope everyone is well. I have been reading posts at work but can not post from there due to filters

I'm 8 weeks out from surgery and having trouble introducing new foods. Apparently in now lactose intolerant. I can handle cheese but not yogurt or milk. Also meats don't sit very well with me either. Fruits and veggies hurt my pouch and shakes make me gag now. I've been eating mostly eggs, beans, and cheese every day and getting so sick of it! Any suggestions? Also we eat almost every meal away from home... So grab and go is the best for us!

MarchLikeAnAnt replied to mouse1972rb's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery is on the 28th (UK) I'm on 3 pints of milk and 2 yogurts only, I would give anything to have even just a teaspoon of cottage cheese! Lol
