Ok who is currently on a preop diet?!
LibrarianBecky replied to Katrinakit's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Day 8 out of 10 of pre-op diet here. I wouldn't say it has been easy, but I'm trying to stay strong. I can have 3 Protein shakes a day, 5 servings of fruits and veggies and an optional Protein Bar or light Greek yogurt. I can have broth, sf Jello, crystal light as well. I had to go to a picnic at my son's soccer tournament.....not easy, but I made it. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App -
mine was last year on the 15th the best I feel and look good luck to all I started out at 252 ending is 172 from size 18-20 to size 10-12 happy very very happy I have a hard time still keeping certain foods down and I definitely stop eating at 5pm only Water which is fine sometimes I still have dumping syndrome but that is my own fault trying to eat more which only because I am hungry or the food is there I try to eat it all at once which is bad, the only advice I can give is as soon as you leave the hospital walk on treadmill or out side for one hour just walk oh yeah there is flab but keep exercising it won't hurt as much when you look in the mirror physical work will tighten the muscle but you have to work for it, two months ago I got on a sugar binge which is very bad but I was full terrible habit I am breaking that habit now because I do not want to gain I am totally scared to gain any weight. I eat a lot of yogurt lamb chops turkey deli rolled up no bread at all no Pasta pizza half slice from whole foods only I find I can only eat foods from whole foods or the fresh market, I hope you all make it you all sound excited also go to the support meetings wonderful. for Protein extra protein I use Proteinex from amazon p18 or p 100 I put it in my cherry yogurt from oikos I go to Vitamin shoppe get banana bites good for potassium love them small bag $1.99b 400mgs Vitamins chewable for me and nascobal b12 then I have chewable b12 and b complex Multivitamin chewables just as good as what the doctors office uses

Very frustrated, is this normal?
Bufflehead replied to pramis123's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You are eating crackers, nuts, and desserts? Honestly, those are terrible choices. Stick with your protein shakes. What about meat? Have you tried things like chicken salad, tuna salad, and soft fish? What about yogurt and cottage cheese? You really need to try to be eating protein-forward, not carb-heavy stuff like crackers, dessert, and pasta. With respect to all the foods you can't tolerate -- it's hard to know whether it's normal, I think probably a professional should assess that. Have you contacted your surgeon or dietitian for guidance? I think they can probably help you better than we can. Good luck! -
Have her try drinking the water at a different temp. She can have broth, yogurt, refried beans, decaffeinated tea or coffee, cottage cheese, creamy soup (no lumps), sugar free popsicles, hummus, Apple sauce. And on behalf of your wife - Thank You for supporting and helping!

Surgery on 4/29. Cleaning out kitchen. What can I keep?
Kooky1 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tomorrow, I will do a deep clean of my condo, preparing for my surgery at the end of the month. I will be throwing out a lot of food in my fridge and freezer (mostly processed stuff) and from the cabinets. Some items are unopened and can keep for a few months. So, I'm wondering if I can keep them for the soft foods phase or not. 1. unopened container of Peanut Butter (maybe something for maintenance phase) 2. unopened container of mayo (can you eat chicken salad during the soft foods phase?) 3. unopened truffle oil 4. canned vegetables (mostly green Beans, corn, and collard greens) 5. new can of seasoned salt 6. frozen italian sausage (my doctor said no pork for 4 months??) 7. cans of manchich (to mix ground turkey or beef--says 5 net carbs per 1/4 cup serving) I am shocked at how much processed foods I have in my shelves. Boxes of mac & cheese, hamburger helper, Pasta, and cereals. Then, I have frozen meals, frozen burritos, multiple containers of ice cream. Whew. I'll donate what I can but so much of it will have to be thrown away, and I know it's probably going to be hundreds and hundreds of dollars gone. I do have cans and packaged containers of chicken and bone broth which I'll obviously keep for the clear liquid phase. I'll be doing the clear liquid phase for 15 days then onto the soft food phase. Unfortunately, my doctor's instructions for the soft food phase weren't very detailed; just recommending fat-free yogurt, cottage cheese, scrambled and boiled eggs, and fat-free pudding. Any feedback would be appreciated! -
Gallbladder removal same time as VSG
judymcd69 replied to Ashoryb's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Yes..........mine was removed during sleeve surgery as well as major hernia repair and lapband removal.. As far as pain and complications....I have had none other than certain foods going straight through me. I mainly refer to one of my faves...Greek yogurt. I may be eating too fast and will discuss this with my PA soon. I am curious as to who else has had these same issues. Please reply if you have. TKS -
I was sleeved on April 6. I'm on puréed foods for the last 3 days. I'm having a hard time getting in my Protein shakes- since surgery they are just off putting. The puréed foods are hit & miss, I've tried chicken & tuna salads (blended up real good) and they seemed too rich and I did not feel well after. Cottage cheese and yogurts are working out well.

Sleeved on 4-13-16.....Food Talk. Need friends!
Inner Surfer Girl replied to Kip's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Kip, Welcome! Congratulations on taking such a big step. It sounds like you are doing great. First, if you were sleeved you don't have a pouch, so if you follow your food phases and guidelines you don't need to worry about stretching a pouch. The stretchy part of your stomach was removed. Second, have you tried making your unjury with Water instead of milk? liquids (and semi liquids like yogurt and cottage cheese) are easier to consume early out. You won't really feel"full". I look to feel satisfied. If you slow down a little, you will give your brain a chance to catch up and you should feel more satisfied. Keep up the great work and make sure you get in your Protein and fluids and you will melt away! (Just a heads up, you will probably stall pretty soon. Almost everyone stalls about three weeks post-op for the first time. It is a completely normal part of the process. -

Kip posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi All, I had my WLS on April 13th. I am 10 days post op. Feeling fantastic. I will say that with all the prep and planning, over thinking and organizing, now that it is here and green light. I find myself confused and not informed as I thought I was. This biggest thing I think that I am screwing up is the size of my protein shake. 1 Scoop of UnJury and 8oz of nut milk or milk. Is that too big? How long should I be taking to consume that? I take like 10 minutes and I do not feel full like when I eat 1/2 cup of scrambled egg for first time. My doc told me to start playing with soft food. No meat till 4th week, but at my 10th day, I am eating cottage cheese, scrambled egg and yogurt. I am just worried about stretching my stomach with protein shakes. Lets discuss this. I am sooooo excited though, feel fantastic and I am melting. -
I'm 11 days post-op. Right now I can do 1.6 to 1.7 oz of cooked Protein (rotisserie chicken breast, for example). But I can do 4oz of yogurt. On Monday (2 weeks post-op) I can add in regular textured foods, protein first, then non-starchy vegetables. I think it will be a struggle to eat more, though.

It does get boring but your stomach will eventually settle and you will be able to expand your food base. Soft scrambled eggs and boiled eggs may not be a bad idea to add to your selctions, yogurt, grits, oatmeal, etc.

Now since I am 4 months post-op I eat fat free cottage cheese, yogurt, grilled or baked salmon/chicken, soft veggies, drink Premier and nectar Protein drinks, etc. It is a variety but still no carbs or fried foods. During the earlier stages I would eat refried Beans from Taco Bell and Wendy's chili and slowly incoroporated different soft foods to get an idea of how my stomach would handle it. So far I have lost 40 lbs and 10 lbs from goal. I was also a low BMI as well. I do not keep track of my foods but I do read labels to verify sugar and carb contents.

Me too! Good luck!Me three, lol! May 3rd and start my 9 day liquid diet on Sunday. I am allowed to have 2 shakes, 1 Triple Zero Oikos yogurt w/ 1 scoop unflavored Protein powder, and broth, SF Popsicles and SF Jello.Haha, I guess we are the Three Amigos! I have my last Dietary visit today as well as the pre- op visit. I only have to do a liquid diet for 3days before surgery. It's certainly getting very real right now!

Opinions in Genepro protein powder?
auntiem0502 replied to Thinkingthinner1109's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Love Genepro! It is medical grade protein. Although it has special instructions so it will dissolve, the serving of 30grams of protein in a tablespoon can't be beat. You can half it to make it last longer. I mix with yogurt, tea, coffee, oatmeal, diet hot chocolate, yams.. I have not tried to mix with cold liquids since with warm you have to make sure to pour over the powder or it just floats to the top and doesn't dissolve. Best price on Amazon $32-$37. I also have Premier shakes from Costco for a quicker option. -
I am 4 days post op. I had the bypass and honestly i feel like the dr. Just cut my stomach but didn't do anything inside. My left incision hurts but the rest are fine. Ive been eating lots of yogurt and Soups. Today though i was CRAVING bread and meat... It didnt help that my husband grilled chicken and potatoes on the grill. I had 1/4 cup of mashed potatoes added skim milk to make it more watery and it was soo good. Yesterday i tried a Protein shake with 1 strawberry and 2 raspberries and it was fine. I am so confused cuz my stomach i guess... Tells me to stop but my mind is saying ur not full yet. So when i had yogurt for Breakfast i ate with my sons baby spoon. I would lick it and put it down, took me 40 min to eat less then half and i was done. Same thing with Jello, now i have open containers in the fridge. I definitely am starting to miss other foods, but i am thinking of the future. We did this surgery for a reason, we did it for ourselves. Maybe you need a little push to stop thinking about food and start thinking of ur self. Create a you tube channel of your progress, it will motivate you and you will want to continue on a positive note. Sigh up go to a gym. I have to admit i started going 4 month b4 surgery and doing squats before definitely helped me when I'm trying to get up from bed, or even going to the restroom lol. Keep thinking of the future, the new clothes u will buy, the guys u will meet. If u ever want to talk message me. I have found this app to be very very helpful. There were times when i was crying my eyes out and then i read some posts, talked to some ppl who went through the same thing, went to a support group and it helped a lot. So far i have not had any regrets, yes i am in pain, and i wish that i had a bit more support, but at the end of the day i think to myself " u r changing your life, ur going to be gorgeous, u r doing this for u" i go to the fridge get some liquids and continue on. Think of the reason u wanted to do this, why u went to the dr. In the first place. Write it don't put it on ur fridge. good luck! Dasha

Any soft food ideas?
KristenLe replied to elaina831's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
A few possibilities... Hummus, cottage cheese, eggs, soft cheese, tuna, salmon, Greek yogurt, beans, creamy soup... Did you have a Nutritionist with your program? They should be a good resource. Concentrate on protein, watch for sugar/added sugar, and low carbs. -
The 0 sugar yogurt is plain Greek yogurt

I'm set for May 9 and starting my pre-op diet April 25. I've been trying to ease myself into it by eating mostly yogurt, protein shakes and vegetables this week. No meat or breads.

I'm April 5th too! I am still on yogurt and applesauce. The thought of food makes me sick. I tried mashed potatoes and the gas/ reflux pain was so horrible. I'm literally scared to attempt it again. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
