2weeks post op and wanting non liquid food
pssk replied to BillW82's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got my surgery the same day (vsg) and what is keeping this phase interesting for me is mixing flavors. For example, today I had a half of a cup of butternut squash soup and I added some plain/nonfat/sugar free green yogurt sort of mimicking sour cream. I am also added things like cinnamon and nutmeg to my vanilla shakes or to plain yogurt. Tuesday I can start purées and I’m almost nervous as I’m losing so fast/quickly that I worry it will slow down! Lol I honestly have no appetite and have to force myself to eat. Yes, my brain misses normal food but we can do this! We can fight the demons that made us overweight!! -

Ex Lax, Miralax, Beneful, Metamucil, Senesomething, Activia, or what?
Kindle replied to Yasman's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Exactly...other things are whole grains, chia seeds, and hemp seeds. Besides adding Fiber supplements to my Protein shakes, once I was close to goal I added a lot more whole grains and fruit to my diet. And I switched my Protein Bars to whole grain bars and my stools have gotten a lot better. A really good Cereal I found is Kashi Go Lean (the one that has "fiber twigs, soy protein Graham's and honey puffs). It's got 13g protein and 10g insoluble fiber. Win-win. I mix it in plain Greek yogurt or regular milk for even more protein. -
Weight Gained Since Having Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Kindle replied to sleeve 4 me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I guess I would just go back to basics...concentrate on Protein, veggies and Water. Cut out the fruit and Pasta for now. I only started eating those once I was at goal and only in moderation. That's what I cut out immediately if I bounce up a couple pounds. And as for veggies, no corn, peas, potatoes, etc. Have you ever hit protein goals? There's just so many ways to get there....protein shakes/bars, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, cheese, chicken, steak, pork, burgers, eggs, turkey, seafood, fish, tofu, etc. Use Protein powder to flavor Greek yogurt for a double helping of protein. Add bacon bits or ham and cheese to eggs. Cottage cheese with Muscle Milk cake batter is a super yummy protein packed cheesecake. I also eat a lot of nuts, but they do add a lot of fat and calories, so maybe you should monitor that. I can easily gain 4-5 pounds in a week eating too many carbs (like over the holidays or on vacation). But 2-3 weeks of going back to protein and veggies will bring them back off. Try and drop your calories to 1000 and move away from the carbs for awhile. I bet that will get you back in the right direction. -

WooHOO!! So glad it went okay for you. Glad Dr. Garth came through for you. Was he able to remove any of the adhesions? can you have pudding or yogurt? I drank Isopures, of how about some Protein Shakes? Slow? And you are down 42 lbs??? That's pretty good!! I didn't bruise from my fill but she sure pushed hard finding it. -
HELP! Guys I'm pulling my hair out! It is almost "that time of month" and I have gone from not being able to finish 8ozs of yogurt to being starved for the afternoon and craving chips, chocolate, ice cream and milk! I have done so good since my last fill and even last month, went through this a little but not much. But starting around lunch, I can't get my mind off those "bad" things. I still don't eat near what I used to. A bag of chips is now about two handfuls, a 1/2 gallon of ice cream has been reduced to about a cup and chocolate milk, well 8ozs satisfies that in the evenings. Luckily, by dinner, things calm down and I only eat about 1/2-1cup of food. But I wish I could head off the afternoon issues. What all do you guys do when things like this hit? Oh, Bea -- keep us posted on Ike and how it affects you and your family! I'll be keeping you guys in my prayers!

Tomorrow marks one week post op! Purée food ideas?
kelcified replied to Whynotnow's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am moving into pureed consistency foods this weekend. Tofu is a good source of protein. The silky tofu can be added to shakes. The firm and extra firm can be marinated, pan seared, among other ways of cooking. I will be using tofu, tuna, homemade chicken (soaked in buttermilk at least overnight to keep it very tender), refried beans and unflavored protein powder for my protein sources. I will try eggs a few different ways (poached seems to have the highest success rate among sleevers) and hope I can tolerate them. I'll also be using Greek yogurt, applesauce (with the protein powder, and cottage cheese. I plan to make a sandwich paste (like chicken or tuna salad but pureed) and include flavor from onions, pickles, etc. I plan to use salsa with cooking as well for some added flavor. Maybe some plain Greek yogurt for some flavor and protein too. -
Tomorrow marks one week post op! Purée food ideas?
KarenLoh replied to Whynotnow's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Refried Beans were my favorite thing. I looked forward to them all day and that was my supper. I still like them and eat them once in a while when I don't have anything else prepared. Greek yogurt was a fav too and I still eat that daily. -
I just got home from the hospital today. Surgery was yesterday at 1pm. It all went well. I have not experienced any issues with gas yet. I feel ok and was ready around 730am to go home but of course didn't get to lol. Slight pain on my stomach but I have been walking anyway. It is not as bad as I was thinking. I am happy and excited now. On full liquids. I already had some cream of wheat and light vanilla yogurt. Mixed together was way better than by itself. Good luck to you all having surgery soon.

3/12 here. Doing great. Just started eating black bean soup and yogurt and protein drinks yesterday after 3 days clear liquids. I have no pain most of the time. I’m able to do laundry. I get tired easy. I take a few naps now and then. How are you?

That's so weird cause I've been having the same issue. Even water is sitting poorly and leaves me burpy. I decided to try a reset and yesterday I did all liquids, water and shakes. Today I think I'll stick to soft foods (I'm thinking yogurt and eggs:)) and I'm hoping that will do the trick. Tomorrow's my weigh in say so a cleanse can't hurt... -

PJ: I take Zoloft and yes it does give me really severe pain if I don't take it with food. So, I take mine in the evening with activia yogurt. I put yogurt on the spoon, then put my pill in the yogurt and swollow. No more reflux. I wouldn't give up my Zoloft for all the rice in China. Lived with severe panic attacks and anxiety attacks for to long and I'm not going back there. Hope this helps -
April 2022 Surgery Buddies
tkkilen replied to Crinkles's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello everyone I am new here. I found this site and found it very helpful during this process. I got gastric bypass on 4/18. I was so scared before the surgery. Now I wish I had this done many years ago. I would say problems I had were constipation ( no bowel movement for 11 days. I always had constipation but this was extreme. I am on linzess and now lactulose solution 10 ml 3x daily. I also had problems consuming enough protein liquid. I got 2 flavors of isopure. Yuck… I hate it! I forced myself to drink at least 1 bottle per day. Now I am on purée food. I am still trying to figure out what to purée and not. I am not much of a cook so this part is very hard for me. So far puréed cod fish, yam, green beans. Cottage cheese, triple zero yogurt, premiers protein shake….( also yuck! ) I miss my Korean food! I have only lost 10 lbs. pre liquid I lost 13 lbs in 5 days. I am confused why I am not losing any weight at this point hopefully someone can give me some feedback. Thank you everyone for your posts and I am glad to be here. -

The new habits are very doable, just choose one and start working on it now. I got a bunch of baby spoons off of Ebay and started eating my yogurt with it every day. One day I picked up a regular teaspoon, and it felt weird!! All this long before my surgery. Then pick another skill, like tiny bites and paying attention to how much you chew. I see no point in waiting until the band is in, and doing total immersion when you can get your feet wet gradually. As for the port, it depends on the surgeon. There are two bariatric surgeons in the practice that banded me. One puts it on the right, The surgeon I drew places it front and center several inches below the breastbone. I was careful to ask about this because the one place I didn't want it to be was on the left. Lying on my right side hurts my hip, so I wanted to have my left side available for sleeping on. Hope this helps! Orea -

Our Walmart does not carry any flavors except for plain and vanilla. I just dress mine up with Splenda and SF syrups. I did try another brand of Greek yogurt in honey flavor and LOVED it but only had 6g Protein. Not enough when I make it my morning meal. Will have to see if I can find it when we are on our travels this winter. -

I am still having trouble with slowing down my eating. Especially dinner..when i get home from work I want to eat anything I can find, and when I do fix something I want to inhale it. but my band tells me otherwise.......so trying really hard to remember slow, chew, take my time....tonight I came home and drank a yogurt smoothie to hold my hunger at bay until I was able to fix a proper meal. Think it worked... -

Hi everyone, I'm officially a March bandster now and want to be a part of the 50's group. I was just banded on 3/19 and am now Day 5 post-op. I'm feeling pretty good for the most part and I'm starting to get a little bit hungry, at least I was able to start creamy soups, yogurt and V-8 juice yesterday so that's helping a bit. Now I'm looking forward to this coming Wednesday, when I can add refried beans (planning a trip to Taco Bell already, lol) Anyway, being able to add some "real food" tuna, deli turkey, etc. will be my next treat that I'm looking forward to. -
I'm Confused And I Need Advice
I_Sd8_em replied to Flupie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Take some of your favorite yogurt, 2-3 raw eggs washed well before cracking, mix with iced skim milk or frozen to get you a total of 6-8 ounces eat over 30 min-1hour. say the yogurt amt has 3-4 gr, the eggs have 6 gr each, milk amt 3-4 grs total ~18-25 grs each setting. add some artifical flavors ie banana, strawberry etc? Blend in magic bullet mixer. This is what we did in school while playing football, in larger quanties of course. I know people talk of not eating raw eggs. I have eaten raw eggs and sunnyside up= semi to mostly raw centers my whole life without issue?? but one never knows. -

Yum, I bet that is good frozen. I had mine with blueberries last night and a sprinkle of granola. I too have been trying to kick the sweets habit at night, so I've been trying to eat yogurt and fruit. Although the key lime pie that my husband bought started calling me last night. I cut a small piece, had one bite and came to my senses! I gave it to my hubby. I was happy with just the taste and honestly that's really all I wanted, I think I cut a piece out of habit more than anything. It's empowering to be able to stop. Anyway, thanks for the tip! Have a great weekend!

Hope you like it. I actually found it was tasteless, so I add losts of Splenda, which makes it palatable for my tastes. It's a fairly dense cereal (lots of fiber). But it does fill me up, which was the point for me! :-) Right now I'm eating All-bran yogurt bites...because DD didn't like it. It too works well, but I think it has more actual sugar (I don't need to add much Splenda.) BTW - Splenda seems to be the most wonderful thing invented except the Band in my book. I love it. Now, I've read that it might not work as well to curb cravings, because the brain expects a sugar load because it's so sweet, then doesn't get it, and craves more...but that was just one study I think. I sure do like the sugar-free fudgsicles, and sugar free foods I wouldn't have touched before because of the artificial sweetener aftertaste, I know can't tell the difference, who it's a good thing in my book. -

Typical day for me is: B-Greek yogurt with Splenda and small amount of Fiber One L-3.5 oz of protien. Salmon, chicken, steak (hamburger of any kind does not sit well) Veggies or fruit D- Same as above S-Always treat myself each evening to 100 cal pack of popcorn and throughout the day will have SF Jello or 100 cal 1/2 cup FF icecream. I do two snacks a day. What is Greek yogurt? Is that a brand name? I haven't seen it in the Houston area. Where do you shop? -
I feel your pain Sleepyjean. I too am having a hard time getting all my water in. Stomach pain caused by hunger is also a new concept to me. I woke up hungry this morning and got a few sips of yogurt down then I was "full". I took a nap and woke up and had a few tablespoons of soup. This went down much easier. I told my husband today that if I'm restricted like this all the time I won't need a fill! I know I'm probably still swollen from surgery, it was only 5 days ago. It's definatley new to learn what all these signs and signals from my tummy mean. Good news though! I slept in my bed last night with no problem! I was even able to lay on both sides!

Yes, I thought of that. I am eating quite a bit in the way of nuts and seeds, legumes, homemade granola, oatmeal, butternut squash, sweet potato, avocado, peanut butter. I add protein powder to smoothies and yogurt. I even eat some 80% cacoa chocolate covered almonds in the evening. Can't think of more calorie dense foods, except for adding sugar, which I cannot do. Sugar and wheat cause massive inflammatory reactions in my joints.

BadWolfGirl replied to TattooedSeaStar's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Eating is going well. I really like poke bowls so I had just the ahi and the avocado out of it and it was so good and went down so well. I really haven't introduced too much else since I'm not at week four. But the other day I had canned tuna (with mayo) and was fine. Two nights ago I had it again and five minutes later was wretching but of course nothing was coming up. Foods that I do well with are: soft cheese, banana, avocado, raw ahi tuna, cooked tilapia, chicken thigh, yogurt, cottage cheese, refried beans and sour cream. I kind of just rotate those thru. I plan to try oatmeal tomorrow. I so miss my raw veggies and salads. And anything crunchy really. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
