Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters
Jennifur replied to TracyinKS's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Tracy- you are kind of right, that was what happened last time, but I think pms was a big factor. I am back down to 213 and I was 233 on July 19. So my plan, liquids for the next couple of days to get rid of the bloat and get my self together, and make myself meals. I went to the store today and got some yogurt, some chicken, 2% cheese and some more tuna and veggies. So- saturday morning I'll get my butt out of bed and start eating real food. I usually do this Once a month and have worked hard to maintain. And I'm still holding strong It is just time to kick it up. Speaking of, I'm home from work and watching the Biggest Looser. If these people can work and sweat, so can I. I know I'm at the gym every other day, I need to kick it up. loose the last 14lbs to get into onederland I can do this. Anyone else watch? It is so touching, what people say is just so true and just touched my heart. -

Tamra - way to go girl with the crunches! Hey, what's up with the frozen yogurt? Stop with the carbs - eat protein - start clucking like me!!!:cursing: CoCo - you need to rest big time. You are so right about TGIF - what a week and I only worked 3 days but with a new boss who has 'all the answers about what needs to be "improved", I am stressed to the gills!! You can't believe how some of my staff were mistreated while I was gone - it frustrates me no end because now I have good people I need to do damage control with. Aarrrggghhh! Lee - so glad things are going better, although I don't envy your truck feeling! However Candra's & my - glass in the eye feeling probably isn't much better! John - what's up? Heather - Happy Birthday:party:what great support from your co-workers. And what a special gift from your Mom. Jes - have fun with your daughter. My food for today (protein portions are a little bigger than they should be): B- 1 hard boiled egg, 1/4 c. LF cottage cheese, 1/8 c unsweetened applesauce, 1/4 piece of whole wheat toast S - tea L - 4 oz tuna w/ 1tbsp ff mayo, 1/4 of peeled apple, 1/4 piece of whole wheat toast (TJ's no sugar Daily Bread) D - 1/3 c of cheeseburger (In & Out); 1/4 c LF cottage cheese; 2 tbsp sauteed spinach, 1/4 piece of whole wheat toast -

I'm three days post-op and was started on phase 2, pureed foods yesterday. Here are the two-tablespoonsful cups of food they have sent me for meals and how much I have eaten. It ranges from chicken and cream of asparagus soup to turkey and cream of mushroom, and any combination of the two. The single cup is Lite n Fit Greek yogurt, vanilla flavor. I also get a chocolate protein shake with breakfast and I'm using the empty 30ml cup to drink my portion of the shake. So far, so good... -
I hate it when people post just to post.....

My daughter is pregnant and eats about a jar of pickles every day. I am going to tell her to dip it in lemon yogurt and find out how disgusting or delicious this really is. -

Better luck next time Beth. I am not sure at what point my body decided that 4:30 was an excellent time to get up, but I really hate it on days when I don't have to work. I am sitting here attempting to eat some Greek yogurt. I made the mistake of tasting a piece of meat this morning well before my body was ready for solid food. I didn't PB or anything like that, but it still feels like the meat is sitting in my throat. Yucky feeling. It made my coffee go down slow. This yogurt is causing some strange noises going down. This does not bode well for my dinner plans.

Hi Everyone, Maria, glad you're doing so well. Tamra, Where is your new chicken place? Ashley, I've been checking out the VSG site and there's more people over there that had some problems with the band and later had revision to the sleeve. In comparison to the people thrilled with their bands here, it seems like just a few. I think that people that have had problems tend to be a bit more vocal about it. I think we're in good hands with Kaiser. Have fun at your orientation on Sunday! Riley, you've said so many great things about those classes. I'm definitely going to look into them in January. Congrats on all this hard work you're doing in the gym. I've had a tough time staying on food plan today. I did well until dinner. I think I didn't eat enough in the morning and then couldn't quite catch up. I did get in plenty of herbal tea throughout the day. b. 3/4 cup nonfat cottage cheese l. plain ground beef s. 1 apple d. 1 apple, 1 cup nonfat plain yogurt, 2 rice cakes, 1 laughing cow cheese I cooked up lots of beef and turkey burgers for easy protein over the weekend. I'm trying to get myself firmly on track before my trip next week. My son is a very healthy eater and he'll make us big salads at his place, but NY is a great place to eat out. We'll be staying in a hotel in Boston for two nights after Thanksgiving dinner. I know I need to get down into the gym and get on the treadmill. This gallbladder surgery really gave me an excuse but now I'm just plain lame about it. Happy Weekend everyone!!

Well, my DH is getting to spend the evening out with his friend tonight. I'm still not feeling all that well, so I decided to stay home from our huge fireworks show tonight. It's on TV every year, so it's not like I'm going to miss much anyway. At least he gets to go. The only reason I go is because I feel bad if he doesn't have anyone else to go with, but his friend is picking him up. Yeah. Dini, Hunter hasn't started yet, probably a few more weeks. Waiting for the principal to call for a meeting first. Frustrated, love the way your DH put it, and he's right on isn't he!! Cazulay, I'll have to remember the "MOM" next time. I resorted to the worst thing first, and when it barely worked, I went for exlax. Thanks for the idea though, I really appreciate it!! So, what marathon will you be walking? Are you doing the full or 1/2? Are you training alone, or with a team? I trained with Leukemia and Lymphoma Society team when I wlaked the Columbus Marathon last year. It was great fun, but I didn't lose any weight becasue of all the carbs they tell you to eat, and the gels and such we used. Hope you have better luck than me, I'm sure it can be done and lose weight too, I just was overeating on all the wrong things at the time. Good Luck to you. Chim, when is your walk?? Coming up soon? Did you rent out your condo yet? Hope you're having a great weekend. lindaa, I don't think the water is a problem, but it may have been the culprit this time. I went and had my hair done Thurday and was there a long time, with a 1/2 bottle of water, so I didn't get my fluids in this day. Also, I was on liquids, so all I had ate was shakes, soups, and yogurts. No fiber at all. So it was probably a mix of things, but OMG, I have never felt that bad. Next time I will be more prepared, maybe get some V8 juice or something, and try the metamucil or benefiber. Thanks for the ideas!!

Salsa - Your restriction is better than mine and i think i have pretty good restriction- i think i am at my sweet spot - i would not want to be any tighter than i am. here is my menu for the day breakfast - 1/3 cup egg beaters w/cheese = 90 c - 10 pt Lunch - cabbage bell pepper onion pork rice (one pot wonder) 250 c - 10 pt (1 cup food am full) Clear Protein Drink - 70 c - 15 pt Dinner - 4 oz 0Fish - 1/2 cup veggies - 1/4 cup brown rice= 280 c = 25 pt ( i will be stuffed on this dinner) Snack - yogurt 5 gr pt - or pudding 2 grms pt - or fudgecicle 3 grms calories for snack 60 to 80 so thats about 1030 caloires for the day and about 65 grms pt. My doc says to try to eat HIGH protein food the very first thing so that by night time you can get some carbs & veggies 1 oz meat = 7 grms of protein.. Instead of an egg for breakfast - how about a Protein shake - that has 20 grms of pt or egg beater which has 1/3 the calories of a real egg and just as much protein... heck add some veggies to make an omlette - I love my veggies and i eat zuchinnee & yellow crooked neck squash almost every night (very low in calories) - cook them really well and it's like eating Soup - try that. I really don't count the calories from my veggies - i just add 50 c for veggies weither i have one or two cups... to me veggies are free - see i am a ww girl ;0) You are doing great !!!!!

OK Jackie the food angel/cop is on her way NO CANDY have your DH put it somewhere that you don't see it or know where it is..... CALL THE DOC ON MONDAY !!!! Get the fill before your party... I was just telling someone on the slow loser site that I am all too familar with the little mind games that we play with ourselves... That truely is what us fat people do we play these little mind game - we try to lie to ourselves.. But see you really aren't beleiving those lies by what you said i feel like if I put off my fill just so I can eat more at this party then I am trying to 'cheat' my band IMHO I agree 100% - this is the whole reason for the band... and if you don't use it - then what's the use of getting it... For your feeding frenze before Aunt Flo - stock up on sf choc pudding - Healthy Choice Fudgecicles - Dannon Light & Fit yogurts - buy those and eat them instead of the fattening stuff - they are just as satisfiing... Really they are...... and here I go breaking the rules - but I have the 100 calorie bags of popcorn when I want chrunchy salty food - i spray with I cant beleive its not butter spray and add salt - it takes care of that saltly chrunch factor - I eat one piece at a time.... Not handfulls like in the past.... You are on your way to a healthy mindset about food - you are going to win this battle - You are realizing that your little lies to yourself for what they are "lies & mind games" And you are ready to quit playing those games... :clap2::clap2::clap2: Tough band love :kiss2: love being the operative word xoxox Janet

Also try Yoplait 100 greek yogurts. They have less sugar and more protein.

small amounts post-op of mushy foods, like eggs, cottage cheese, strained cream of ____ soup, refried beans, yogurt with no fruit chunks (look out for seeds). I craved scrambled eggs with cheese - on Day 3 post-op they were delicious!

Hello everyone! I'm now 12 days out of surgery and feeling pretty darn good! I started puree's on Saturday and have had no issue. So far I've had Amy's black bean turkey chili, cottage cheese, yogurt, cream of wheat (love this!), and shrimp salad. Everything has gone down really well. Tonight I am making a mediterranean tuna salad. I'm not minding this stage a bit. Everything tastes great and my Magic Bullet is getting a workout! It has been interesting to me how my sleeve really does tell me when to stop eating. I measured out 1/4 cup food to start and thought I would go up to 1/3 cup yesterday, but my sleeve constricted just enough to tell me it was full and I stopped. I'm getting in about 50 grams of Protein right now which my NP says is fine as long as I work on increasing every week. I am getting my vitamins in without an issue as well as my 64 ounces of fluid. I'm walking with my husband every day. Not too far as my left hip is giving me some issues, but at least I'm getting out there. Our weather here in the Seattle area has been beautiful so evening walks are really nice. I'm still not back at the office but yesterday I did start working from home. I put in about six hours and wasn't too tired by the end of the day. I could probably go back to the office, but I'm a little bit of a workaholic and don't need that stress to interfere with my recovery. My post-op appointment with the NP last Friday went well. She couldn't believe I was only a week out (first day I had put make-up on, not to mention a bra!). My incisions are healing well, I'm sleeping on my side, and just really have no issues. I am treating myself to a massage today as my back is sore since I am favoring it over my stomach muscles while I heal. My weight loss has been steady. About eight pounds lost since surgery. I will be happy if the weight comes off a little slowly as I would really like to avoid any extra skin issues if at all possible. I know some of the other 50's have had some post-op challenges. I hope you all get through them and stay positive! Personally, I've been viewing this very positively and I think that has really helped me get through pre and post-op. Have a great day everyone!

July Butterflies Master Thread
1day at a time replied to PennyLane's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi all, I have gotten a new job. All is well but I can't eat any snacks like I did before because I only get a lunch and no breaks. I am still wondering about this because I thought they had to give you at least a ten minute break once or twice a day besides lunch. As it is I only got a lunch after 4-5 hours of working. It is very crazy right now. Question for you all. I am so hungry by lunch and dinner that I am eating to fast and we all know what that means. Any suggestions on what to do or how to sneak more in when I can't get off the phone? Oh by the way I am working at a call center again so I must stay on the phones. When I went to find a new job I had to start all over again which means being back on the phones. Here is my typical day 8am at home - breakfast either egg salad or chicken salad I make 9am-protein drink of some sort because I am drving to work to start at 10am ( I work 10am - 7pm or 11am - 8pm depending on their needs) 2pm or 3pm - depending when they let me go to lunch I have tuna salad or chicken salad or a plain no bun burger or veggie burger. I also have yogurt and/or fruit with maybe a couple high fiber crackers Dinner 8 or 9pm - usually whatever I cook for my family or whatever my DH makes. Something like chicken cabbage alfredo ( no pasta) or sloppy joes (no bread for me), grilled chicken, spagetti, etc.... I do have a problem with getting my water in and Coffee has been a crutch this week. So I have to kick that again. Anyways any suggestions would help. Thanks everyone. -
My surgery was Aug 27th. I was 350 day of surgery and now I'm at a standstill at 265. Before I could only eat 6oz. The size of a yogurt cup. Recently I increased going to the gym and am now Gibson.g myself so hungry. Today I had soup and then lunch was 3 inches of a turkey hoagie. All low fat. But not even an hour later my stomach was growling so bad and I was hungry again so I ate the other 3" of the hoagie. I'm not supposed to track calories but I am supposed to track portions. Am I eating to much??? Is there anyone else hungry like me? And how about going to the gym, is anyone really hungry afterwards?

'twas the night before surgery and all through the house...
anaxila replied to anaxila's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am not using any protein shakes or liquid protein at the moment, though I do recommend checking out Isopure drinks (available at vitamin shops / GNC) if you're looking for an alternative to shakes. My surgeon does not support liquid protein drinks/shakes in general, though the nutritionist says to use them in a pinch if I'm not able to get protein in "the old fashioned way". So far, the old fashioned way hasn't been a problem for me. My surgeon starts us on pureed foods right after surgery. For me, that means the Vitamix is getting a serious workout. My current favorite protein sources are: homemade spicy chicken taco/burrito meat with salsa homemade chicken salad cheesy scrambled eggs refried beans greek yogurts of all flavors fortified chocolate milk (1C skim milk + 3T of powdered milk + 3T sugar-free Hershey's syrup = delicious!) PB2 (powdered peanut butter or powdered chocolate peanut butter) I will also run soups through the blender as well, though I am happier with more flavorful options above. Hope this helps! -
Any August 2017 Sleevers?
niseys4 replied to Jessalene's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello Dandelion 247! I too am 4 day post op & im experiencing simlar feelings as you are. Most of the pain I feel ,from reading what you said, is most likely from where the extra stomach was pulled out. I find that an ice pack for about 5-10 mins helps. But over all my pain has been tolerable enough I dont have to take my Norco but since i wake up at night with a pain that feels like severe hunger pains, i think tonight before bed i will take some. Hopefully i will be able to get a good nights rest! Today I managed to get down a little more than 24 oz of water & 60gs of premier protein drink. Plus I had 4 oz of warm chicken soup. Since I able to eat yogurt & cottagae chesse. I might try those tomorrow. Im glad you mention that being patient & not letting this be a weight loss race. That good advice. I convinced myself to only weigh 1 week at a time. I weighed myself yesterday just out of curiousity & im down 8 lbs since the day of my surgery! I want make sure i slow down some so my skin wont get to flabby before i can get back to the gym! Sent from my SM-T530NU using BariatricPal mobile app -
@@jersey_girl_86 ....I know EXACTLY how you feel....I felt like I was dying after surgery because I could take in soo little and I was soooo weak....GATORADE was and is my life blood... (obviously you want to be drinking mostly water but I needed electrolytes) talk to your DR about it but I'm telling you it helped me soooo much.....hope you are feeling better soon.....I was on protein shakes for 3 weeks post op and after that started with eggs yogurt mashed potatoes cottage cheese oatmeal and regular cheese...the more I diversified my diet the better I have felt...although I do HIGHLY recommend some type of stool softener/laxative etc once you start eating foods because I experienced a LOT of pain due to not being able to go to the bathroom...........anyways talk to your DR and see about Gatorade for electrolytes hope you are feeling better soon

January surgeries?!
melimel35089 replied to jessicaalyssa's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Pretty much the same, I can have sf yogurt, jello, creamy soups, broth, I have protein water too and tons of Powerade and crystal light 😩 good luck to you too! -
My diet so far is a sort of mix of purée and soft. I’m not overly keen on things with the texture of baby food. Some of the things I’ve tried that aren’t too bad are Stewed fruit with custard or yogurt. Slightly undercooked poached egg. Mashed not blended. Baked beans. Tinned corned beef Cooked mashed vegetables. Avo. Smoked salmon, Tuna both of these are also good blended with cottage cheese. I did blend some super soft slow cooked beef with gravy yesterday and had it over veg. That was ok. Blending everything together though is gross. Tried a tuna lasagne - wasn’t a fan so that got used as dog food

March 2020 Surgery Folks Come On in!
biginjapan replied to Mello1's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just had bypass a few days before you and I've been on purees (and full liquids) since the day I left the hospital (day 3 post-op). I haven't had any real issues except with Greek yogurt (I guess I'll be a bit lactose intolerant for a while, common with bypass, not so much with sleeve). But I had the sleeve 3 years ago so have already been through this once before, where I had to wait a couple weeks before going on purees. In both cases, waiting, or starting right away, I've been doing well. I've been drinking blended soups, pureed veggies, soft tofu, cottage cheese, etc. Just go slow and start with small amounts at first. Try one new (pureed) food per day. After a few days, try adding another pureed food for a second meal. Your sleeve will let you know what's working and what's not.
