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

April 5 Operation - Trying to transition to soft food
JamieLogical replied to Reena 4/05/16's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mashed potatoes are starchy. Try yogurt, refried beans, or cottage cheese. -
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.

April 5 Operation - Trying to transition to soft food
anitavee replied to Reena 4/05/16's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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 -
A little food advice, please and thank you!
IncredibleShrinkingMan replied to Andrea72's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is a very blessed problem to have, @Andrea72. I was craving things within 48 hours of getting back from the hospital. Also, it seems like you are on a particularly aggressive return plan to normal foods. At 4 weeks, I was still on no tougher consistency than scrambled eggs...i.e., late puree, early soft. If you need to stay above a certain calorie amount, I would just say slightly increase the portion sizes of the stuff you know are good to eat, like nonfat yogurt and lean protein...these things hopefully cause the nausea related to smell to be minimal. I think in your case your instincts will be far more useful than your nutritionist's advice, which frankly is the most likely thing to sabotage you. This is a gift...both the sleeve and your apparently changed taste buds. Don't let that get reversed! -
In my recovery, I was instructed to advance to soft foods after liquids and chewing 20-30 times, basically purée ing the food in your own mouth, to a baby food consistency. So foods that work well are low fat cottage cheese, low fat refried black beans, non fat low sugar yogurt, Siggi yogurt, strawberries, soft cheeses like Havarti, Oscar Meyer honey smoked deli turkey, Proti diet oatmeal, Progresso chicken Alfredo soup (chew the chicken well). Shrimp has been good for me, just make sure it's not over done and tough. Any meats should be cooked in a slow cooker to make them really tender, as well as the veggies. Good luck!

My recovery did not include puréed foods because I was instructed to chew my soft foods 20-30 times to purée it in my mouth to a baby food consistency. That made transitioning to soft foods easy. Tolerable soft foods for me are low fat cottage cheese, low fat refried black beans, Progresso Chicken Alfredo soup (chew the chicken up well before swallowing), non fat Greek yogurt, Siggi yogurt, strawberries (chewed up well), soft cheeses like Havarti, Proti oatmeal, honey smoked turkey deli meat chewed well, and of course eggs. Take it slow with introducing new foods. Good luck!

I need to do this, no matter what
Micoxv replied to Micoxv's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
So tomorrow is my one month anniversary and I have the feeling it is getting worse. I had to go on a business trip yesterday and today. I took my regular breakfast and went to the airport. Once I arrived my colleagues insisted to go to the corporate canteen with me. I could not refuse since I have not seen some of the guys for a few months . Then there was the dilemma on what to eat. Choice was either lamb in a gravy sauce or some fish in a white sauce. Side dishes were steamed carrots and quinoa. I went for the fish, few carrots and the quinoa. I eat very little , was extremely careful with chewing, no drinking and so on. After a few bites of the fish I had a couple of carrots and one bite of quinoa. Then I started to have a hiccup that did hurt me a lot. I had to discreetly go to the bathroom where I threw up the entire lunch. I notice I had a lot of saliva with the food, evens kind of foam. That was weird. Sorry for the gross details but that worried me. As soon as the sleeve got empty all the discomfort was gone. Then in the evening I had to join them for drinks. And we went to a pub...with a nice selection of craft beers. They all tried different ones when I had an apple juice. After a few rounds (for them) they decided to go to a burger place ...And I went back to the hotel and bought a yogurt and some turkey ham (another bad idea) on the way. Same thing happened, plus a heartburn. I had to take my PPI to calm down. Today I had a yogurt, a protein drink I took with me, so unsweetened ice tea and a protein bar for lunch. No issues. I guess I can't go to restaurant yet. I am wondering what I am going to do next week as I am going on a business trip to India. I better bring everything I need. I am wondering how long it will be before I can have some kind of social life again. -
Day 5 of pre-op and I miss food.
lindseyp1019 replied to LibrarianBecky's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am on day 4 and I'm feeling a lot better today than the first three days! I am at the doctors now waiting for my pre-op physical. May 2 is my surgery date, so I have two full weeks of this diet. Protein shake and cream of wheat for Breakfast, Protein Shake, 1 cup Soup, pudding for lunch, protein shake, 1 cup soup, Jello for dinner and yogurt for bedtime snack. Overall not so bad!
