Anyone from the Chicagoland area
ShipShape replied to jayohayenene's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
That is what I've heard. My buddy did bypass there in Feb. And he said the same thing about nurses. Yes, I do add frozen pineapple, banana, cooked beet's, yogurt, not for the taste, but to feel full. Honestly I cheated all two weeks, I had some grilled chicken breast, few slices of corn beef. Nothing serious, but men, it is hard. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App -
6 days post-op and hungry
ExCookieMonster replied to ExCookieMonster's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would kill for mashed potatoes, but I know you're right. I hope that from now on things get easier, first week was hellish with all the pain from gas and nausea. At least I can have yogurt - ok, that's sad. But enough with the pity party. I'll try to be less grumpy. Thanks, for everything. Thank you, @ OutsideMatchInside -
Feb sleevers.... One month updates!
CarmCarm replied to bigguy928's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi, Bigguy and beenpohl! My husband and I were sleeved on Feb.25 and 29th too! We are both doing well. He has lost more than I have (40 and 30 lbs) but we are just plugging along, following our program. I was having the light-headed , clammy, ready to pass out feeling too, especially if I had a 30 gm smoothie first thing in the morning. It was terrible! I've starting drinking Water first thing when I wake up and having a greek yogurt for Breakfast. I save the smoothie for late morning and drink it slower than before. This seems to really help with the light-headed feeling. We are both REALLY tired, though. I keep waiting for this big energy boost and it doesn't seem to be happening yet. I think drinking more water may help with the tired feeling so I'm trying to work on that. Also, maybe we'll feel better when we're eating regular food?? My husband has starting drinking a half cup of coffee and it helps him. I know all of these annoying side-effects will eventually go away so keep at it!! Good luck!

What are your other addictions/ obsessions?
borg/assimilated replied to Fatty McFatster's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Chobani key lime Greek yogurt. Must have one for breakfast every day. I check out the grocery store ads in the paper on Sundays to see which market has them on sale and buy 20 at a time. I actually start to get nervous if there are only a few left in the refrigerator. My husband has decided he likes them as well, so I have to make sure there are enough around for both of us and that I don't miss out on my daily "fix". -
I love raspberries. I wonder if you could puree and then freeze them for a lovely Italian Ice type treat. Or (I have seen this when blueberries, not sure if it will work with raspberries) but coat them in yogurt and then freeze them and they are lovely little yogurt covered berry treats? Can't wait to see what ideas people come up with. I need to go find a farmers market..

We have a health food co-op in a nearby city that I have been meaning to find. There was a post on the Internet the other day that they were having a sale on fresh raspberries so it gave me an excuse to find it. Now, I have quite a few raspberries (most of which are in the freezer). They have been delicious added to my yogurt. Other than Protein shakes, what are some good, easy, healthy ways that you use fresh berries (especially raspberries)?

Calling all March bypass surgery dates!
Soexcited replied to Soexcited's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Hello!!!! Just checking in! I had my rny 3-7 and I'm doing better......finally! I had a tough hospital stay (3 nights) and a rough few days at home too. Now I'm 18 days post op, drinking my protein and eating soft foods. A typical day for me is a protein shake for breakfast 30g of protein and 160 cal. Another shake for lunch and then a yogurt for a snack 80 cal 15g protein and for dinner a scrambled egg with 2 teaspoons of refried beans and salsa. So far Ive lost 20lbs but I stalled a few days ago and have lost nothing in the past 3 days. I'm now 205lbs and need to get to 150........I just want time to pass quickly so I can loose some more!! Happy at times but still have some buyers remorse. I still get so tired in the afternoon I need a nap....hoping my energy is back soon! -
Give me you favorite Protein Shake/Drink/Pre-op Liq
sgc replied to Kelly84's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I haven't had surgery yet, but I make Protein shakes sometimes as a Meal Replacement. I start with some powder protein, usually whey protein and vanilla flavored. I then add about two tablespoons of Fage nonfat plain greek yogurt, one cut up banana, a little skim milk, a couple almonds, and just a little vanilla extract for flavor. Refrigerate for a couple hours and your good to go. Now most people don't like crunchy shakes so you skip the almonds but I don't mind. -

Anyone else have March 29th surgery date r in Delaware?
Angie74 replied to Phillygirl_in_DE's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good Luck my DE girls!! there's also a Greek Yogurt at Walmart that sells oikos triple zero yogurts in tons of flavors with 14-15 g of Protein per serving. Pack light 4 the hospital, plan 4 something loose and comfy for the ride home. Gas strips do not work in the hospital after surgery.

thundermama replied to Phillygirl_in_DE's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@Phillygirl_in_DE, Showtime is at 7:30am bright and early! There is someone else on this site who is the 9am right after me with the same doc. It's a small world, right? Thanks for the recommendations about post-surg food. Target has Dannon Light and Fit Greek Yogurt at 4 for $3.69. They had all kinds of flavors too like strawberry Cheesecake and banana Cream with 12-13 grams of Protein. I was so excited. I forgot about the apple sauce. So far, I like the black cherry SFJello the best. 8.5 pounds is great! @@tyra76, I wish you the best of luck. It's so great to be on here with people going through the same surgery with the same practice within the same time period. I am sure that we are all having mixed emotions right now. I know I am! I left work today and just felt so good about it. How long are you all taking off? I only scheduled 2 weeks. I'm concerned about the emotional roller-coaster I've heard about. I'm hoping that part isn't so bad. We've got this!!!! We're at the beginning of something great. -

Im on stage 3 in our program stage 1 is NPO...stage 2 is clear liquids...stage 3 yogurt, cream soups etc...stage 4 is pureed food...doing the best i can...doctor and nutritionist called tofay to check on me...and gave me some tips...to try...very tired today so gonna nap...glad it seems to be easy for you. -
I can't get over how diet progression plans differ so widely from doctor to doctor. My doctor seems to be a lot more liberal than many of yours. My plan: 1.5 days home- Clear liquid day 2-7 at home- full liquids (including plain yogurt as a liquid) day 7-21 at home- soft foods adding meats at day 14 day 21- full foods I feel great and have felt ready for each phase change. I changed to soft foods yesterday and I am taking them quiet well and haven't had any problems thus far. I have also lost 15 lbs since my surgery date on 3/15. So I am not worried that something is wrong. I was just wondering if anyone else has a similar liberal plan because it seems like many of you are on a much stricter post op diet? * I also didn't have a liquid pre-op diet.

Three weeks post op
beachwalker4rny replied to Suzannie19's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am going once a day now and that makes me happy. I do two colace a day, two probiotics, two gummy fibers I added back in coffee. (Asked dr first) on the weekends when I don't have to leave the house I drink 10 sips of prune juice first thing in the morning. That gets me going in about 30 Mins. (Gastric bypass) I also do Greek yogurt with kashi go lean original and I have veggies with every meal. I hope this helps.being stopped up is miserable. Oh and the smooth move tea is good too. I try to stay away from taking stuff that I will become dependent on though. Once in a while it can't hurt. -
Three weeks post op
talking mountain replied to Suzannie19's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The pain from the gas they inflate your tummy with was horrible at first. And painkillers don't touch it. By 3 weeks it was tolerable, but still there at times. Are you sure it's suture pain rather than gas pain? If it's gas pain, moving as much as possible and taking gas-X strips will help get rid of it, but it still takes time because the gas has to be reabsorbed by your body. Also if it might be gas, try avoiding gas-making foods such as dairy (milk, whey, casein, yogurt, etc), Beans (if you aren't used to eating them), and cruciferous veggies. Or take Lactaid with the milk products and Bean-O for the gassy foods. -
Let's talk...Pre-op diet & your BM's 0.o
sassyfrass23 posted a topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
*This thread could potentially become TMI. Proceed at your own discretion...* Oooook! I'm on day 11 of my preop liquid diet! Ten days ago- I didn't think I'd make it. So I am THRILLED to say I've lasted this long. Only 4 short days until I'm in the OR and joining all of you on the other side. But before we get too far ahead, I need to know..... Did your BM's change when you were on the preop liquid diet? Mine consists of all liquids with the exception of oatmeal, grits, cottage cheese and yogurt. Everything else is either brother, cream (strained) Soups, SF Jell-O, Protein drinks, Water and decaf tea or coffee. I'm taking in AT LEAST 70 + oz of liquids a day. I figured the "liquids" would be flying through me, if you know what I mean. But it's quite the opposite. I've never had regular BM's and have dealt with constipation regularly and this diet has thrown all of my pre-existing issues into a freakin' conniption. I honestly don't believe it's from dehydration but I suppose I could be wrong (which isn't a common occurrence kidding...) . -
Pureed question - spices/salsa?
DavidOso replied to farooforever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I used lo salt V8 and put hot sauce in it. Never had any issues with spicy /hot foods. A favorite was pureed chicken breast, fat free plain greek yogurt, a little peanut butter, curry powder, and sriracha--"Bariatric Thai Chicken Satay" I may not eat much, but it sure tastes good! -
My nut. told me to get my protein from real food as soon as I was able. I know shakes can be a drag by this point, but I would spend my calories on greek yogurt, soft cheese, egg whites, fat free refried beans or put the last three together and you are eating a tex-mex omelet! Many bars can have boatloads of sugar, which can cause some pretty nasty...err...umm...issues.

Soooo... I'm 4 months post op (11/04/15) and although per my nutritionist and surgeon I'm cleared to eat regular textures, I can't. I'm so frustrated with eating and chewing everything till mush. I haven't had a hot meal since I got banded. By the time I chew something up my food is cold and is even less appetizing. I'm so restricted it's depressing. Everything gets stuck . Big or small, liquid or solid...it gets stuck. My band is empty. I've never been adjusted. ..no need. I'm restricted just with the band placement. A meal should be between 4-6 oz but I'm stuck at about 2. I can keep fluids down but it takes forever to eat or drink anything. I saw my surgeon and he says that my band does appear to be tight but he can't empty it. There's nothing to remove. I admit that at times I still eat 2 fast or don't chew enough but whether I do or not everything gets stuck. I stick to Protein shakes, yogurt and other soft stuff at work cause I can't run off to vomit every few minutes till the blockage is gone. Which brings me to the wicked acid reflux. GERD sucks. On a lighter note...I'm down 57lbs. Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

I'm nearly 3 years post-op. My original weight loss goal was 150, but I ended at 130 and now on average I'm between 135-137. I feel like I need to be eating more unprocessed forms of Protein but life is busy and most times I just grab what's easiest and since I tend to not care about food much any more the repetition doesn't bother me at all, I just want something to put in my stomach; in fact if I don't get my yogurt and trail mix, I'm a bear:-) A typical day for me: B: Yoplait 100 cal. greek yogurt with 1/2 dark chocolate cranberry trail mix or a Pure Protein Bar and 2 cheese Sticks L: 1 cup chicken salad on a bed of spinach and some honey mustard on the side D: 2oz of cheese 5 club crackers, a 100 cal yogurt with 1/4 cup trail mix or a weight watchers meal or a turkey and cheese roll-up S: skinny cow ice cream I try to not to go over 1300 calories but nothing under 1,100. Of course there are days that I go over and under but it all balances itself out.

I was able to hit 64oz yesterday. 630am - open first bottle 9am - open 2nd bottle 11am - 3rd bottle 1pm - 4th bottle 3pm - 5th bottle 5pm - 6th bottle 7pm - 7th bottle 9pm - 8th bottle For food: Breakfast: One hard boiled egg Or pudding with 1 scoop protien powder Or 1 triple zero greek yogurt Or 1 sausage patty Lunch: Left over protien from the night before 1/3 c Sloppy Joe mix (no bun) Or 1/2 a bigger patty (no bun) Or 2oz pulled pork Or 2 oz baked chicken Snack: 2oz sliced deli meat Or Triple zero Greek yogurt Or Laughing cow cheese with 3-4 crackers Dinner: Same as lunch Does this help? I'm also limiting my intake to 400-600 calories per my nutritionist.
