I’m having my sleeve surgery on August 28th, just a in few days . I started my liquid pre op diet yesterday and I was doing well until I got up this morning vomiting my brains out, so bad I wound up in the ER , they told me I was having caffeine withdrawal because I didn’t wean myself. Has anyone experienced this? By the way I’m only having my protein shakes, jello, ice pops , broth and water. Can I have plain yogurt?

Yep still have some pain. Mostly in my back and the incision on my right side. Lots of gas still. Water doesn't go down well but I can get back Protein shakes down and yogurt. I can't wait until I'm all healed up. Good luck everyone.

Any October Bandsters!??!?!
blueangelkc80 replied to SoCalCass's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had both my pre-op appointment with the surgeon and my diet class today and started my pre-op diet tonight, I have to get 70g of protein from supplements and then eat 4-6 times a day and can choose from yogurt, sugar free pudding or jello, oatmean or cream of wheat, low fat soup or broth, unsweetened applesauce, sugar free popsicles and fudgesicles, milk, coffee and tea. My surgery is scheduled for the 23rd at 7:30 am so I am the first one of the day. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am which my mom is not so thrilled about. I did get some samples of different protein powders from the dietician at the diet class today and I tried one this evening and surprisingly it wasnt too bad. It was the Nectar chocolate truffle protein powder. Hopefully I can tolerate the others as well, time will tell I guess. -
Unflavored Protein Powder and flavored clear protein drink
Mystique2015 replied to Red23's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Genpro is the unflavored protein powder that I use.. I have gotten used to it and can hardly taste it. I mix it with all sorts of things but mostly Greek yogurt.. gives you a lot of bang for your buck imo. -
6 mos after surgery - feel like my stomach grew
Daftgirl posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I know i know, they all said its not possible to do that, but I feel like maybe I did. July 21 will be 6 months from my surgery and coincidentally, my birthday! - Maybe when I went from working out at night to working out in the morning before work (up around 330/4am, workout 415-515am, home by 6am), my system went out of whack? its like after work and after a sensible protein packed dinner of mainly chicken breast or something prepared healthily, i still feel like I can eat and eat and eat. I have a protein shake with spinach for breakfast, my millions vitamins, water, decaf coffee, then a great lunch of half cup of chicken breast or a protein shake with more spinach and then dinner at home. I try to stay on my water and an 11am and 3pm snack of string cheese or peanut butter or a hardboiled egg white. Has anyone else felt like they could just keep eating? The last couple nights I ate a half container of reduced fat jif! I never even ate pb before surgery. Maybe im craving sweets? Is that im not drinking enough water? I add sugar free packets to flavor my water b/c i dont like mio’s aftertaste and dont always want a sweet powerade zero. I was having greek yogurts but stopped because i was getting burned out on dairy. Just wondering if anyone else feels this way about their pouch. Maybe its all in my head! Im 25 lbs from my goal weight! -
Are you on the pureed stage yet? I am getting in most of my protein through non shakes. Starkist Tuna creations, Wonderslim shakes/pudding meal replacements, cheese sticks, cottage cheese, yogurt with ground flax (helps with fiber / constipation) - I noticed I was fuller longer with shakes but I couldn't meet my protein. Since I've switched and reduced shakes - I feel better and may eat more often but my body is definitely adjusting and liking this version better.

Why I am so hungry all the time.
GreenTealael replied to newmeinfla's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
What soft foods are you eating? Yogurts, cottage cheese, jello, soup, pudding? Chicken salad, tuna salad, flaked fish, tofu, hummus, refried beans? Some things "slide" right through you leaving you hungry quickly, (if you see the term sliders thrown around thats whats being referring to) Even in the soft stage you have to try to eat denser protein to stay fuller longer, this will be the balancing act of your journey I combat my "hunger" (some times its not) with warm soothing drinks until the next scheduled meal. BTW You can do this !!! -
Hi there, it sounds like you are doing well with your new banded life. I am enjoying a Protein and fruit shake most days around 11:00 or so. I'm not hungry in the morning. Today I skipped the Protein Shake because I knew I would be having lunch with my parents at a retirement center. Sometimes when I'm there I have a thick soup but today it was tomato and I don't like that plus it's thin, so I had a small bowl of cottage cheese and broccoli. I came home and ate a protein bar (200 calories 20 grams of protein -- the 20 that I missed out on by not having my shake). Dinners are whatever I am cooking for the family but just a little of it. If I'm hungry beforehand (usually, as I haven't quite got my timing down right), I might have some applesauce with a dollop of plain yogurt or something like that. I've been making chilis and stews and those seem very band-friendly. I like chicken thighs and will probably be making those next. I do them in stock so they are really falling apart. Last night I had the hungries after dinner and I had a Popsicle. That seemed to appease me.

Who eats McDonalds post op?
becogolfer replied to mi75's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have mcd's once frequently for a Breakfast burrito. I have 1, 300 calories and that's it for 4 hours. I have had their chicken wrap once in awhile I have had maybe 2 double cheeseburgers over the past 8 months. I can eat maybe 80%, but usually less. I have no room for anything else and I don't eat till I am uncomfortable. I had a plateau but it's starting to move again. I am about 15 lbs above my goal. In the past 6 months I have lost 11 lbs but interestingly my body lost 14 lbs of fat , gained 1 lb of muscle and 2 lbs of Water. My nutritionist likes that I get 100 gm of Protein in my diet. Without Protein shakes , which I came to detest after the pre op and immediate post op period, I need to eat fish, meat, chicken, eggs and greek yogurt. So, long story longer, I do eat mcd's but not much and not often and it's not been a problem. I don't get cravings for it at all, it's just food. -
Keep up the good work, remember the more weight you lose the lower your surgery risk, its good motivation. I'm on day 5 and its been hard. I'm allowed a greek yogurt, low fat cheese stick, veggies/salad, sf popsicles, jello, and broth so those things are helping me to stay on track. "Better than bouillon" broth is very good and satisfies hunger really well. If you are going to cheat, just keep it healthy and focus on the goal. I'm down 5lbs in 5 days so its working!

I thought it was too early to start food, but my dr was pretty sure. I am only eating food once a day. I fill in the rest of the day with yogurt and stuff like that. I have lost 28lbs including the pre-op diet (15 post op) hopefully that keeps up!!! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Taking Pills After Surgery
Recidivist replied to Recidivist's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks, Nonsense. I first tried them in Greek yogurt, which someone suggested earlier, but that was disgusting. Right now I'm just pouring the powder into mouth and chasing it with water. Still disgusting, but bearable. I'll try them in water next time! -
No snacking for me. Solid meals and meal times as instructed by me team (thank goodness) because the further out I get the more relaxed my restriction is so i can easily eat more than required. But yogurt with granola or a protein bar as a meal.

Any other September 2013 bandsters?
PuraVida37 replied to Irishflower79's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
OK, so i kinda cheated today. I am still on liquids only + yogurt for 2 more days and I broke down added an egg to my chicken broth. I am allowed poached eggs in 2 days. I tried to make my own egg drop soup, but I guess the broth wasn't hot enough and it just turned cloudy. I heated it up some more and omg it was delish!! I hope it continues down my digestive tract as happily as it went in. LOL -
I was also sleeved on 7/27. I'm on purées and I haven't had anything that's actually pureed. My favorite is tuna mixed with Miracle Whip and I add tiny tiny chopped pickles (no peel or seeds) and cheese. Last night and today I had baked salmon, not even close to a puree but my NUT said it was fine. It felt great to be chewing real delicious food! I also love refried Beans mixed with cheese and plain Greek yogurt.

Any April Surgery Dates?
bsumner replied to rokse23's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am on full liquids. I am doing like 3 shakes a day, yogurt, pudding, jello (all sugar free). Of course adding in the water, gatorade zero, and crystal light. No caffeine either-that has added to my fatigue too. I did try some broth yesterday to try and get used to it for post op and its not my favorite by far. I keep hearing that the second week is better. Hoping this is true. Are you having the sleeve? -
June 2009 Surgery
pennreporter replied to traviesa97's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
tdtucker, your doctor is very similar to my daughter's doctor. His comment to her was "You've done so well with dieting, why impose one that you won't stick to." she even went and ate mexican food the day before. I really think it also has to do with the experience of the doctor. My doctors don't do a lot of bands (bypass mostly). My daughter's doctor has done 4,000+. so I'm on day 10 and have adhered mostly, about 90 percent to ordered diet. But I also don't want to go into surgery feeling weak, which I haven't so far felt that way, because I know food intake is limited again on the other side of the surgery. So I get Soup and FF yogurt and V8 juice also. So outside of my "slip" one day, it's been not too bad. Good luck to all!! Trisha -
I use peanut butter but just put it in yogurt or on apple slices. But I use PB2 which is powdered peanut butter without the fat. It's great in protein shakes and yogurt or sprinkled on bananas or apples. you can add water and make it like peanut butter. It tastes great.

Ok, Im not sleeved yet. But love to cook and experiment. I found if you soak wonton wrappers for a few minutes they make a perfect sub for lasagna pasta. I made this a couple nights ago: 1lb ground chicken or turkey 8 wonton wraps 3/4 cup ff cheese (I used jalapeno jack) 1 10oz can enchalada sauce 1/4 cup chopped onion 1 chopped jalapeno (cored) 1/4 cup chopped cilantro 1 small avacado Plain greek yogurt Preheat oben to 375. Brown meat (drain if needed) add onions, jalapeno and cilantro and 1/2 of the enchalada sauce. Soak wontons in a bowl of water while this cooks for about 10 mins. Spray small baking dish w/ nonstick spray. (I used a small 6x6) Carefully layer bottom with 4 wontons with slight overlap. Add a layer of meat mixture, sprinkle with cheese, repeat. Top off with remaining sauce and cheese Bake in oven approx 20 min or until cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown. Top with small amount chopped avacado and a dab of plain greek yogurt. This makes 4 servings for nonsleeved folk. With ground chicken: 278 cal, 28 protein (this is calced with a nonsleeve serving) Sorry no pic..it was a pretty dish and very good..but my son left nothing for the camera. : /

Help! Best Fast Food Option W/ Protein?!
NDN_RN replied to KikiCC's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
:-x staying quiet on the recent Chick Fil A controversy. I think if there is any chance at a convenience store, supermarket, bodega, vegetable market, you can find greek yogurt, cheese stick, muscle milk, even gerber graduates meat sticks..has to be better than any fast food. -

January's 2014 Bandsters Welcome!
turquoisekaty replied to msirish's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ooooh Peanut Butter sounds delicious right about now. But the idea of PB getting stuck in my band is a bit terrifying! I'm taking a couple weeks off of work. I had some time and didn't want to rush getting back into the swing of things, but already I am bored at home and can't wait to have more to do than just "recover." My next stage includes soft cooked eggs, yogurt, blended cottage cheese, thinned mashed potatoes, and thinned lowfat refried Beans, so I'm definitely looking forward to that!
