Post-op purée suggestions...
NewAngela replied to Laughkc11's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Strained or blended soups, cheeses, refried Beans (taco bell pintos and cheese was a NUT approved staple), guacamole, hummus, yogurt, ricotta cheese (part skim) with tomato sauce. I also ate avocado with hard boiled eggs and occasionally mashed potatoes or mushed sweet potatoes. It took me a bit to tolerate tuna fish and scrambled eggs. They were too textured for me.

Not losing weight at all, just want to cry. Help!
AmusedMuse replied to AmusedMuse's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I wish it were that simple but I am not 'stalled', I am gaining weight. I misspoke above and am only 2 weeks out of surgery, not 3. I am following exactly the diet the nutritionist gave me, but your point about Protein is a good one. I've been eating salmon for protein, and sugar free yogurt, but still have several days to go before I can begin to add things to my diet. The nutritionist seemed more concerned about malnurishment than weight loss and though I was told to have protein, I was given no target amounts. For years I have tracked my foods and weight and I have never eaten much in the way of starches, sugar, or fried foods and haven't started in the 2 weeks since my surgery. In fact, having had 1 day of terrible pain and vomiting since my attempt at a scrambled egg gave me a blockage, I am scared to eat much at all and am very careful not to overeat. -
Not losing weight at all, just want to cry. Help!
AmusedMuse posted a topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had my operation 3 weeks ago, an RNY bypass, and weighed this morning. To date I have lost 3 pounds. That loss includes the fasting before surgery and the day of 1 cup of yogurt only, plus the day I tried a scrambled egg and ended up blocking my pouch and not eating all day. A low BMI patient with a starting weight of 187.3 (at 5'4" my BMI was 32), I already had a very controlled caloric diet, eating only 900-1200 calories per day and essentially low carb. I was slowly gaining weight on that which is why I opted for the surgery. When the nutritionist went over my post-op diet I told her it was the same number of calories I was already eating but she had no reply to that. Some of the items I was to eat daily were things I would never have had before my surgery, such as toast, jam, and mashed potatoes. I also still have a large lump a couple of inches below (internally, down in my belly) the hematoma which remains where my drain was placed, and basically no energy. I am upset and very frustrated especially when I think of what I've put my body through and the expense, only for no results other than scars and lumps. Does anyone have any suggestions? -
My food is often imitated, never duplicated including by me!
highfunctioningfatman posted a topic in Food and Nutrition
I have always had the ability to scrounge something up out of just about nothing. Tonight was no exception. I made a steak salad with a Mexican flair. I dug through the refrigerator I made up a substitute for sour cream using yogurt, adobo Chiles and God only knows what kind of salsa I found buried in the back of the fridge. It was much hotter than I intended to be but it wasn't half bad. I don't believe that this was such a good idea and apparently neither does my body based upon the horrible stench that is erupting out of my rear end on a semi-regular basis. -
No, it is not too soon. Try the yogurt first since it is very soft and easy to swallow and digest. Just take a very little spoonful at a time. You might be able to eat half the container. But, you might also only be able to do a couple spoonfuls. That's okay. Things are not going to taste good so soon after surgery. Just do your best to get the fluids in and your Protein. Just get as close as you can. Don't force yourself to eat or drink if you just can't. But, make sure you do whatever you can. I'm a little curious as to why some surgeons don't have people follow a pre-op diet. Makes no sense not too. Good Luck.

It is common for patients to be unable to meet their Protein and Fluid requirements during the first few weeks after surgery. Their bodies are in a major heal mode. Keep trying each day and you should be able to get there. My taste buds changed after surgery and many things tasted terrible. You may need to experiment with various types of Protein shakes in order to find one that you can tolerate. There are a wide variety out there. You don't have to like it, just tolerate it. Can you drink milk. Eight ounces of 1% milk has 8 grams. If you fortify the milk by adding in a quarter cup of dry powdered milk, it bring it up to 14 grams. Yogurt (light smooth variety) was on my approved lists of foods from the beginning. But it cannot be the yogurt with the fruit on the bottom. Greek yogurt has substantially more protein than normal yogurt.

I am only 5 days post op and am struggling with the liquid diet. Part of me is disappointed the surgeon didn't require a pre op diet to mentally prepare me for this. I'm having a hard time getting the Proteinshakes in......nothing seems to taste pleasant. According to my paperwork from the hospital, I can begin to add soft foods (yogurt, cottage cheese, etc) in 5-7 days post op. Do any of you think it's too soon?

CALLING ALL JULY 2016 SLEEVERS
Candygyrl replied to Tresa Embil's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sorry to respond so late. So i am now day 2 post op. Sleeve date 7/1. Very sleepy that day. Anesthesia took some time to wear off. Day 1 post op went well i think. Pain was controlled although quite sore when trying to get out of bed. I walked quite a bit i had to force myself to pee. I tolerated my liquids no nausea but tons of gurgling sounds. I couldn't tell if I was hungry or wtf? Day 2 post op. Today. I cried twice. Went to the grocery store with my hubby. Sat in the motorized cart. Cry #1 The gas makes me quite uncomfortable. I can't pass gas. I hardly burp. Sooooo i can't eat. If i feel full down there then how can I force it? No significant intake of fluids which scare me. Came home after the grocery store. Tried to fix cream of wheat greek yogurt and Protein shake. I ate 1 babyspoon of cream of wheat. My husband is inviting people over for the holidays I'm pretty upset about that. So he and the kids were cleaning up around me and I was so annoyed. Then he gets up to go to a firework party with his friend. I cried again. My daughter witnessed me this time. I couldn't help it. I just felt so helpless and uncomfortable. I've been walking. Gas x strips, prilosec, and it just doesn't help. I can't eat or drink. I'm not regretting I'm just uncomfortable. I hear maybe day 3,4, or 5 may be better. I just thought I'd have gas with all the farts, and belches that go along with it. So that's my story for now. Hopefully this is over soon. -
Thanks! I'm eating Greek yogurt for breakfast, drinking apple juice, Vitamin water and water, Protein drinks in between and for dinner either mashed potatoes or chicken broth. It really is all about learning new foods and flavors and learning to lesson to your stomach! It's crazy how much I miss the sensation of chewing. I feel like every day I am doing better getting to my goal water and calorie/protein intake. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

After I got past the yuk of the first few days, I was ravenous!! I was probably really hungry like that for 10 days and thinking, what the heck - shouldn't the balloon make me feel full all of the time?!? But that passed and now I do get/feel full. I think it just takes your brain a week or so to catch up to your stomach, or for your body to adjust to the reduced calories or something. So be patient - it will pass. Try to get as much Protein as possible - that will help. Greek yogurt, milk, cottage cheese. You can even add Protein powder to them to beef them up. That will make you feel more full. As will Water. What's the challenge with the water - do you not like it or is just hard to get it all in? If you feel like you're ready to "eat" then you may be ready to start the really soft stuff, like scrambled eggs. That made me feel a lot better. Then I did frozen spaghetti in meat sauce and I chewed it up really well. Something about that was comforting, soothing and satiating. Having said that, some people struggle with Pasta but I have not - especially the frozen stuff since it's so soft. It's very satisfying for me. Ease in to new things to make sure they agree with you. But if you feel ready to move on, you may be. Just don't do too much at once - you don't want to overeat and end up feeling miserable. Hang in there - you're doing great!!

Snacks for Movie Theatre Ideas?
Alex Brecher replied to reachbree's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@reachbree, Since you mentioned Slurpees, it made me think of: can you ask for a cup of shaved ice/ice chips (like a snow cone or slurpee) and add your own Water flavoring enhancer like Crystal Light or Mio drops? Single-serve sugar-free pudding cups could work, although yogurt is generally healthier. I would think carefully before snacking during movies. It may be that it keeps the movie fun for you and you can keep the snacking to a carefully planned snack. However, it could also be that it perpetuates a bad habit and leads to over-eating, since a movie is so long and each small snack only lasts for a few minutes. Everyone’s different, so it’s up to you and what you think is best for yourself. -
Oops! I just swallowed a pill whole
Ruin's Angel replied to ACJordan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told if the pills are very large to cut them into pieces with a pill cutter or to crush them. I also take Bariatric Choice's new All-In-One chewable Vitamins. They include everything so I don't have to get any extras on the side. I was paranoid about swallowing my Omeprazole capsules so I open them up and empty them into my yogurt. -
Ah yes ... So Greek yogurt is in, but not quite scrambled eggs. Soon enough. :-) How's it going? What specifically are you eating? Hope all is well!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Greek yogurt and scrambled eggs come to mind as things I had pretty soon after surgery. Don't rush it as your stomach may not be ready for much past a liquid stage.

Late June Sleeve Buddies?
Maggie143 replied to Maggie143's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I promise it will pass. So many people are saying the same thing. I had mood swings early on and they went quickly. I hope they do for you too. Now is the time to focus on the positive. We are through most of the hard part and by winter we will be eating like human beings again and thinner too! Think lovely thoughts. xo I haven't had the mood swings but I'm dreading them...I'm 51 and menopausal, so I'm sure mine will be doozies! I've been feeling good, I've advanced myself to some foods that aren't on my diet yet, but just doing full liquids was killing me. I've had some refried Beans (HEAVEN!!), and yesterday I had a bite or 2 of chicken salad my husband was eating. As long as I go slow, take small bites and chew well, everything is fine. On the down side, I took my allergy meds a couple of nights ago right before bed, and not thinking, threw down about 8 oz of Water in a few big gulps. OMG. The pain was horrific, and it all came right back up. I have been a much more careful sipper since then I'm thinner, too, down 16 as of today. That's so encouraging for me, I didn't have to do any pre-op diet so my surgery weight was my highest weight. Losing 16 has been amazing, I truly feel lighter already. Hoping today is another good day...we're going to buy a new car! And our son comes home today from a weekend back at college with his buddies. Tomorrow will be a challenge, I'm sure, all the BBQs and food, but I'll stick with my oatmeal and know that if I do, that scale will move even more. Happy 4th, everyone! I bought beans for refried bean and black beans for when they give me the thumbs up. I can't wait. I am so sorry about your water experience. Its like mine with the yogurt I had. I couldn't help myself. I'm so tired of not being able to chew. Are you having baby oatmeal or regular oatmeal? Congrats on the new car and have fun with your son. That's the best. Let me know how you do during your events. Someone else just said they showed up late to the party and walked around with a water bottle. I thought that was helpful. Kick butt and Happy 4th to you! -

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 -
Not getting enough calories
Barry W replied to parsonsholsten3's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
400 cals is nothing. Use Meal Replacement shakes - they should still be low sugar, but will have some healthy fats added to bump up calories. I liked the SlimFast High Protein/Advanced Nutrition shakes - 180 cals each with 1g sugar and 20g of Protein. 3 of those per day plus a piece of fruit would be 640 cals/day. Add a lowfat greek yogurt and you're up around 770 cals/day. If you get full while drinking the shake, drink half at a time and drink the second half an hour later. -
Nothing has made me sick
Afrikanaaa replied to sean72977's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This was me until about month four, and idk if I ate my yogurt to quickly or was just reacting to the Ursodiol or something but I threw up and was sick for days. I'm fine now. Closing in on 6 months. And haven't been sick since. But rejoice in not being sick now but be aware that throwing up and dumping can happen at any time. Listen to your body. -
