Feel like I'm eating crap
justhere4theshow replied to charley27's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Greek yogurt is really good with a scoop of unflavored Unjury powder. Packs a good protein punch. It won't be long before you can spread your wings a bit. Just let your tummy heal. You'll get there. -

I started my journey back in February 2016, at 266 my highest. I disgusted with my doctor. And she mentioned the biaratric surgery that can help me with my knees, because I was struggling just to walk. So I called my insurance company and ask them what I needed to do to get it done, they said get a psychiatrist and a nutritionist and they will take care of it so the Journey Begins. I did everything I was supposed to do within a month of talking to my nutrition and changing the way I eat, the hardest thing was to drink 30 minutes after I eat or before so by the time it was time for me to meet my surgeon I had already surpassed their goal for me. For me that was a lifestyle change, she wanted to have my surgery within 2 weeks but my nutritionist had to help me with mine Water intake. June 23rd was the day I had my surgery, they kept me for 5 days due to the fact I couldn't urinate at the appropriate time so had to come home with the bag attached to me until I saw urineologist, and he took good care of me and that was over. So by the time I left the hospital I was on stage 3 Protein liquids, yogurt following directions and I was good the first couple of days. Then I ended up back in the hospital for 2 days because I was dehydrated water was tasting metallic to me, so they gave me fluids started me on stage 4 pureed food before I left. Basically I was eating like two ounces of pureed chicken + 1 Protein Drink that was my meal, but before I left the smell of the protein drink was turning my stomach, so when I got home it continued so I went back to just applesauce and and Multivitamins Calcium the meds they gave me. And I thought I was on my way here I am today: July 11th food won't stay down still drinking water and went back to applesauce waiting for my nutrition to call me. I am taking one day at a time, I have know regrets. I can walk, I walk around the track at 5:30 am every morning, except today. I've gotten up to two miles, taking my time. It is a blessing because a couple of weeks ago I couldn't make it through the grocery store without the scooter. As of today I am at 230lbs and ticking.

I survived day one of liquid diet...

Six to go... 3 shakes 1 Greek yogurt Beef broth Now I'm starving so I'm going to sleep and I live to fight another day. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I had Gastric Sleeve surgery in January of 2016. Since the pre-surgery diet, I have lost around 115 lbs. Long story short, a few months ago- I got sick every time I ate. Didn't matter if it was yogurt, chicken, beef, etc. Within 30-60 mins of eating, I was in the bathroom with severe diarrhea, vomited once, had a pain in my upper stomach when eating ,etc. My surgeon did a CT with contrast and found that I had a blood clot in my stomach as well as pancreatitis. I went on a pretty low key "diet" of just Soups, yogurt, liquids just to calm things down. He also gave me some Carafate to take before eating. After a few days, the problem resolved. Long story short- the same symptoms have come up again, only this time I have blood in my stool and quite a bit of it. I called and they had me go to the local ER last week for a CT with contrast again to make sure I didn't have a leak. CT looked good, blood work, and urine tests came back fine. Once again I was given Carafate and sent home. Here I am on about day 10 of the symptoms and nothing has changed. Still getting sick when I eat, always on the verge of vomiting, blood in my stool, diarrhea, pain in my stomach when I eat, etc. Any one else have these same symptoms before? If so- what has helped? I don't want to be a pain to my doctor, but I'm really worried about the blood. I have lost 4 lbs this past week. Mostly due to the fact that I can't eat anything. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Not losing weight
justhere4theshow replied to tobesleeved's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on 5/23/16, and I have had similar struggles. I didn't really start seeing the scale move until I ate MORE. I was stressing about overeating the other day, and I lost 2.5 pounds not long after that. My Protein intake has greatly improved since I started adding unflavored unjury powder to my greek yogurt. I love it and it gets me to my protein goal much better than I was doing before. I feel like we just have to experiment a little and see what our bodies respond to. I can't have a lot of carbs, but that might not be a concern for you. I have just been trying to listen to my body and doing what my program says. I am a firm believer that we lose better when we eat a little more (healthy choices of course). We have to let our bodies know that they are not starving. I hope things turn around for you soon. -
Hey everyone, Just started week 2 of my full-liquid diet today, and I'm dreading stage 3... Puréed for me starts next Tuesday, and I don't know what I'm going to do. I've been looking at some baby food, but I'm worried I won't be able to tolerate it since my attempt to have yogurt almost made me dry heave. My one thought was to do another 2 weeks of liquids, but I really should make some kind of attempt to thicken what I'm eating so I can be following the program. Anyone have any suggestions or recipes that got you through the purée stage? Tomato Soup is my favorite thing during this stage, so if anyone has a thicker tomato soup suggestion that would be great... Looking forward to hearing what you guys think. I was thinking of getting some chicken and cooking it, then purring it inside some tomato soup... I'll eat/drink anything in tomato soup at this point to get through those two weeks LOL. Thanks in advance. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Can you eat all this in a day? HELP!
Candygyrl replied to AchieveGoals's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 10 days post op. I buy both the 8 oz abd 16.9 oz bottled waters. So I drink one (8oz) within 30 min of waking and it takes me less than 10 min to get it down. I eat about 30-60 min later about 1/4 cup of cream of wheat (just because I really have loved it since childhood) When I go back to work, I will have premier Protein shakes instead. I can drink one in about 30 min. I drank them like that before surgery sometimes over an hr! 8oz Water 30 min later 30 mim later a Triple Zero greek yogurt w/15g protein. I can get it in easily over 10 min. I don't try and rush it. I use a baby spoon and just enjoy it. I eat lunch and dinner. I will typically have a yogurt in between meals whether its mid afternoon or late evening. My kids always have something going on so either during transporting them to and from their activities or during a game I'll sip on a Protein shake. I even have a plastic Starbucks coffee cup that I sip it out of. I take a 16.9oz bottled water with me anytime I leave my house. It's what i do while driving. I make sure to drink most of it all by the time I get to my destination and if there's any left i just take it with me. We went to the movies the other day, i stuck a protein shake in my purse to sip on. Same thing when I went to the hair salon. So basically yes i am able to do it. I have to make a conscious effort to do so. I'm still on liquids but to ensure that I get my protein in for now, I make a habit of grabbing a shake or yogurt especially if there is a long event, game, or car trip. Same with water. -

My review of a few items: Bariatric Pal shake or pudding NY cheesecake. No thank you. The shake got thick and was like pudding. Way too sweet! Paleo Protein Bar. Same sweet taste. I have tried three from the sample pack and other than their own flavoring they all taste the same. Having a hard time with Water flavor enhancers. The sweetness is just too much. And some of the flavors just don't do it for me. Luckily I actually like plain water. Protein shakes. I prefer Premier Protein chocolate. For the taste and ease. I have tried many brands and flavors. I also like that's it's always mixed. I just can't seem to get all of my powders mixed with my milk. What do I actually like? Lol. I like real food. Maybe because I hadn't really eaten any for a month. But I am truly appreciating getting in some actual food. I've had chicken, carrot and potato stew, cheesy ham and cauliflower bake, GF banana nut butter muffins, black bean Soup, egg drop soup, edamame, pepper steak, babaganoush(sp?), Greek yogurt, and avocado.

I'm so confused-unclear diet plan from doc
Djmohr replied to Evenkeel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@Daisee68 and @@James Marusek got you covered. As they said take it very slow and try one food at a time. That way you will know what bothered you if you happen to get sick. It's also easier on your tummy. Those first 6 weeks I lived on Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, over cooked soft carrots, ricotta bake, (9tried soft eggs but still can't eat them), Cream of wheat with Protein powder, applesauce unsweetened, and of course Soups without Pasta (mostly creamed soups) I had a minimum of 1 30 gram Protein shake but early on I usually had two so I got my protein and liquids in. Best of luck to you and congratulations! -
I'm so confused-unclear diet plan from doc
Daisee68 replied to Evenkeel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I didn't technical have a pureed phase either. At 10 day follow up, my surgeon (actually my surgeons partner as my surgeon was out) said I could move to soft foods which she described as anything I could mash with my tongue. I struggled with things like fish because it was a little to dry. So start slow - soft cheeses, yogurt (w/ Protein powder added in), refried Beans, chicken or tuna salad (with Mayo or Greek yogurt), Ricotta Bake, etc. Try that for a couple of weeks and see how it goes. If you tolerate it well, then move on to some more dense foods (like tender deli meat, baked fish) but always chewing well and with something to dip it in to keep it moist. I would also suggest finding a nutritionist that specializes in bariatrics if you can. The one I use does everything over the phone. Happy to give you that name if you need someone.

Deviled egg ideas?
highfunctioningfatman replied to LibrarianBecky's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
My secret to deviled eggs is to pickle them first then take hidden valley spicy ranch dressing packet and mix it with Greek yogurt, sweet pickle relish and the yolks. -
My plan says 13-15 grams of sugar per meal. You won't feel well if you have too much. Avoid most of the "fake" or disguised sugars. More than 5g of fat should be okay since we're allowed nuts, cheese, etc. I stick to Fairlife FF milk for coffee and Genepro protein unflavored for my yogurt, oatmeal, tea, yams and coffee.

Can you eat all this in a day? HELP!
OutsideMatchInside replied to AchieveGoals's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I doubt you will be able to eat the yogurt early on, it can be dense. You might be better off with 3 shakes a day. It took me about 1 to 1.5 hours to finish a shake. Since they were a liquid, I could just sip on them as long as it took to get them in. The 20 minute rule didn't apply to liquids like Protein shakes. If you know a good veggie broth you like, I would suggest getting an unflavored Protein powder to add to the broth. All of my vegan or vegetarian friends are fat, except one that I think is just naturally thin. They are the worst sugar addicts I have ever met in my life. And there are tons of great Vegan treats in Chicago, which doesn't help. The metaphysical place that closed down about 12 years ago on the north side use to have the best vegan Cookies, I wasn't even Vegan and I used to devour them. -

Can you eat all this in a day? HELP!
AchieveGoals posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi guys, might be hard for some to believe but I'm a vegetarian who is about to get the VSG surgery. (crazy how I still have weight issues) But I'm wondering if people can successfully consume the food items I have listed below. If it does work for people, I plan to do this for a while I guess :S (2) 30g premier Protein shakes (http://www.premierprotein.com/sites/premierprotein.dev.manifest.com/files/styles/height_150/public/ProductImage_PP_Shake_11oz_Tetra_Choc_DC_US.jpg?itok=t1EYFNlt ) (1) 14g Greek Yogurt ( http://printablecouponsanddeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Chobani-Greek-Yogurt.jpg ) Would you guys be able to fit all 3 of these things in a whole day to satisfy a day's worth of protein? And how long would it take for someone to finish the premier Protein shake which is 11mL. Can you guys also tell me how far long are you? And lastly including consuming all of these items, would you be able to eat more than just this (fruits/veggies) in a whole day? Sorry for a lot of questions, but I would appreciate the response! Thanks -
Feeling pretty overwhelmed
anniebanana replied to KM16's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@Shaunie I'm doing pretty good, still trying to figure this whole thing out. I definitely am overdoing it physically at times because we just moved into our dream house and I just want to unpack and make it my own, but I just don't want to cause problems with my incisions and new stomach. From what I gather, everyone has different post op eating instructions. Mine is to get in 56 ounces of Fluid and 30g Protein. I am really limited on my eating to broth, pureed Soup (non cream based) and yogurt. The yogurt...whoa, I feel it going down into my stomach, not a great feeling yet! How about you, how are you? -
Having trouble on soft protein stage
KristenLe replied to time_for_me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Not all carbs are created equal. I would not worry about carb content in beans. Be careful of non fat or fat free items - they often have added sugars. Chicken, tuna, fish, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, ricotta cheese, ground beef or turkey (if on your plan), homemade soups (no rice or pasta), refried beans, soft cheese, hummus. Experiment with different foods. Enjoy!
