  1. yeah i'm taking my vitamins. i get them from celebratevitamins.com, they're all pretty good. except for the hot cocoa calcium vitamin. don't get that. those are really gross. i had to send them back. you can have yogurt too on the second week. just not with any fruit chunks in it. when i get to nutrition class they gave me a little book, split up by week of all the things i can eat on each week. didn't you get one of those?

  2. Hello and I want to thank you for your concern and I have never heard the chicken thing but ok. This was my 3rd fill and I felt like this each time but only for a day or two and then i felt as if my band would open up. I feel better today my yogurt went down fine and my water intake is much better so I will be sure to monitor myself and again thanks I have been keeping up with your blogs and I enjoy them. I hope all is well and keep up the good work. Michelle

  3. Yay... we have the same bandday... sounds funny but it's cool at the same time. I'm actually looking at it as my second birthday because this is DEFINITELY a life changer.

     

    I'm over the gas... honestly, I never really had any MAJOR pain (a little in my left shoulder, but that's about it). I am on all liquids, but I'm thinking about treating myself to a yogurt tomorrow (YAY!). I can't wait to chew again... I don't car if it's celery or carrots... I just want to eat something.

     

    Do you find that your stomach is ALWAYS rumbling? I mean, I'm not "hungry" but I always know that my tummy is empty. It doesn't make me want to eat so much as I just want it to stop.

     

    Well, best of luck to you. As of this morning, I'm down just over 12 pounds... in 6 days... un-freaking-believable! For the first time in a LONG time, I don't hate the scale!

     

    I hope to get to be friends with many of you all here... this is a great journey and I'm glad to have good people to travel with!

  4. Goals for today are 8 cups of water, no frozen yogurt, eat something green, and eat at least 2oz of protein before I start on my sides.

  5. Glad to hear that.....as I"m already thinking about when I can have normal food!! I go to the doctor tomorrow to get my staples out and I should get the okay to move on to some regular foods...scrambled egg, tuna or chicken w/mayo, refried beans, sf yogurt, cottage cheese, sf pudding. I'm ready!!! Pretty tired of broth and sf jello.

  6. Hey Kelly. How are you doing? I see you have started on some yogurt. I can't wait! I have my doctor's appointment on Wednesday and I should be able to start on some light yogurt, sf pudding, cottage cheese, etc. I need to start working at getting my protein in as I have really just been focusing on my liquids this first week. I bought some Premier Choc Shakes at Costco that have 30 grms prot

  7. That is awesome!!!! So happy for you!!! I went to the store today! I may not make it til Friday! LOL! I am sooo ready!! Was yogurt the first thing you tried? What kind did you get?

  8. I cheated and started mushies early. Yogurt never tasted so good!!!! I got on the scale Monday morning and had to step off to make sure it was right. I lost 5 lbs between my appt and Monday morning... I was really surprised!!!

  9. Day 5 Post Op... Its going good, so glad to be home... Just trying to get in the liquids. Shakes are going down good, and I am able to get down yogurt :)

  10. Greek yogurt is NASTY but 23 g. of protein per cup, so yup I am eating it!

  11. Managed 8 oz of Milk and a few bites of yogurt. I felt weird so I put my baby spoon down and tested it out a few mintues. Now I have that full sensation. So that's a bummer but at least I'm getting some protein in. I just can't do shakes right now Yuck! Even the ones I like.

  12. At a yogurt shop with my kids and friends during day 5 of liquid diet sipping in water!!!! Lord have mercy! Hoping my will power is strong enough...

  13. i havent lost weight in 4 days and im 3 weeks out from post op... and i have been sticking to what they told me i can eat.. soup, eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese, applesauce. i dont get it. and im always active. i hardly sit and do nothing.

  14. Day 25: I am running out of things to eat!! I am honestly sick of soups, chili, yogurts, pudding and never wanna see jello ever again in my life!! by the time I eat, it's time to have water. By the time I finish my water, it's time to eat!! WTH!!! my tolerance level is low, I am at the verge of tears one minute and angry the next....I am tired.

  15. 1 Egg and 1 yogurt for breakfast yum! :)

  16. today is my 1 week post-op mark.... i can't believe i've already made it this far. Last night i tried some cottage cheese and it was tough but i don't think i chewed it enough, today i did really well with greek yogurt and i'm able to explore with my purees now. Any tasty ideas that work well for others during the puree stage, please share and i'll do my best to try all the suggestions :)

  17. Had fabulous if inappropriate dreams about an affair with chocolate last night. Woke up and ate yogurt, no fun-size Milky Ways anywhere. It's tough to be a skinny bitch.

    1. Chelly

      Chelly

      I dream all the time that I'm gorging on sweets like no bodies business.

      I'm very controlled in my awake stage but in the dream state I'm horrible. LOL

      It's down right disgraceful the amount of junk I dream I eat but boy am I glad it's just a dream.

  18. Sprinkled Peach Mango Crystal Light in Greek yogurt this morning...YUM! Finally found a way to eat yogurt without the >bleck< LOL

  19. 13 days out from my surgery, have had ups and downs with the biggest challenge be 1) energy and 2) hunger at the end of the day.  I've fixed the hunger by making sure I'm sticking to high protein liquids.  Here are some tips and tricks I've learned to help me keep moving forward:

    Food tips:

    Perfect treat:  Pre-mixed Premier Protein, Vanilla.  Warm in microwave then sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg.  Such a treat, and fulfilling!

    Making sure to get my protein drinks in late in the day so I don't have that late night hunger.

    I've been using Gatorade Zero to fill in between meals, since plain water is hard on my stomach.

    I tried a recipe from a cookbook, but it really grossed me out - using plain greek yogurt, mixing it up with my chocolate whey protein.  Gagged!  That memory has kept me going on liquids alone. 

    Use bone broth as a meal, adding my own salt and spices,  nice an warm, and comforting. 

    Exercise Tips:

    Set little goals, and then if you can keep going, keep going.  If you need to take a break in between, take a small break.

    Listen to your body, and if you need to rest, or take a break in between, do it!

    For me, I started with walking laps around my pool / patio at night, and use my FitBit to keep me motivated.  One day I had 10 laps, then I challenged myself to do 5 more, then 5 more, etc.    Started at 5,000 steps then challenged myself each day until I got up to 12,000.  However, if I didn't have the energy, I listened to my body and didn't push it.

    After I was comfortable walking, I started on my Bowflex Max 5 - not at the interval training level, but just at my own pace.  First days were hard.  I skipped two days, but then hopped up on it again and found  I was able to go several additional minutes without needing a break.  Just like any exercise, keep your water or Gatorade Zero or other non-calorie hydration close by, small sips are all you need.

    Setbacks:

    Some days the hunger was really strong - I found myself tasting Kosher salt & spices in between meals, which kicked any feelings of being deprived to the curb.  (I don't know if this is allowed, or healthy - but just a taste did the trick).  I've gotten over those cravings from the first week.

    After losing 12 pounds the first week, I stalled for about 2 days.  I was discouraged, but kept moving and the weight loss kicked in quickly.  I am now down 16 pounds since 12 days since my surgery.

    Keeping my energy levels high enough to put in the walking and/or Bowflex.  I have to push myself at times, but I do it and feel better after knowing that I am increasing my metabolism and strength with each cycle.  I also let myself rest when I need.

    Hope sharing this helps as you approach your post-surgery healing and journey.

      You are doing great. Thanks for sharing the tips.

  20. Transitioning from full liquids to soft foods not going so well for me! I am not tolerating much other than yogurt.

    1. jane13

      jane13

      IMO...stay on liquid diet and slow down on adding soft foods. this isn't a race, everyone heals/adapts differently. if u still have issues in moving forward, call your doctor.

      Thanks @SLIPSHOD! I have done just that. I get to see my NUT in 3 days so I will discuss options. The good thing I can drink the protein shakes a lot better now.

       

  21. {{$title = \IPS\Output::i()->title;}} {$title} The premise of the Paleo Diet, also known as the caveman diet, is that people should eat the way cavemen did because they didn’t die of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer the way people are today. The author of The Paleo Diet, Dr. Loren Cordain, argues that you should eat unprocessed foods like meat, fish, fruits, vegetables, vegetable oils, eggs, and nuts (not peanuts), and avoid grains, beans, processed foods, and dairy products. Your diet includes 85 percent “clean” eating, and 15 percent “cheat” meals. Dr. Cordain’s website, thepaleodiet.com, describes his diet compared to a typical American diet this way. Higher protein intake. Lower carbohydrate intake. Higher fat intake, but of healthy fats. More potassium, less sodium. Lower glycemic index (fewer blood sugar spikes). Advantages The diet is high in unprocessed foods and low in processed foods. Advantages include: Can help you lose weight because it cuts out so many high-calorie foods (sugars and starches). Less sodium, sugar, and saturated and trans fats than a typical American diet. Low in high-glycemic starches. High in protein, healthy fats, and vegetables and fruit. Simple – does not have specific meal plans or require certain diet products. Disadvantages Eliminates dairy products, so you can develop a calcium deficiency if you are not careful. That’s already a problem after weight loss surgery. Does not emphasize weight loss. Eliminates nutritious and low-glycemic starches such as whole grains and beans, which also are high-protein. Not likely to be sustainable long-term. It’s boring and can cause nutrient deficiencies. The Paleo Diet and Weight Loss Surgery You can follow the Paleo Diet after weight loss surgery, but be especially careful to take your nutritional supplements since you’ll be missing out on key nutrients like B vitamins and calcium from skipping grains, beans, and dairy products. For your 15 percent “cheat” meals, consider including non-fat cheese, cottage cheese, and yogurt, oatmeal, and beans. Also, watch your portion sizes. You can choose Paleo foods, but make sure you stick to bariatric surgery portion sizes.
  22. {{$title = \IPS\Output::i()->title;}} {$title} All bariatric patients should limit or avoid certain foods that can interfere with weight loss. They can add extra calories, stretch the stomach pouch, sleeve or stoma and/or, in the case of alcohol, lower inhibition so that you're more likely to overeat. High-sugar foods, such as baked goods, candy and ice cream Most high-fat foods, such as fatty meats, full-fat dairy products and cream soups and sauces (peanut butter is an example of a high-fat food that is healthy and can be included in moderation) Foods high in refined carbohydrates, such as white bread and pasta Beverages with calories, including sodas, fruit drinks, protein shakes, sports drinks and energy drinks Carbonated beverages, including diet sodas Alcoholic beverages Lap-band patients should be cautious about foods that can get caught in the band or cause obstructions. Fibrous foods, such as asparagus, broccoli, celery and oranges Gristly or sharp foods, such as nuts, seeds, ground meat with gristle Sticky foods, such as peanut butter and caramels Doughy or chewy foods, such as doughy bread Fried foods, such as French fries, onion rings and doughnuts Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patients are at highest risk for dumping syndrome, although it can occur after the vertical sleeve gastrectomy and BPD-DS surgeries. Avoid or limit: Sugary foods, such as candy, sugar-sweetened beverages, cookies, cakes, pies, ice cream and sugar-sweetened cereals and yogurt High-fat foods Foods naturally high in sugars, such as fruit juice and fruits, should be limited

  24. 5/5 - I cooked my asparagus, provolone stuffed chicken. I added a picture. I went to the gym (crunch-his gym) with my boyfriend and embarrassed myself. There was a huge dude, built like Arnold Schwarzenegger in his younger years. I was thinking how does he wipe his butt lol. I kept staring at him. I ended up tripping over my own feet and flew off the treadmill into the back wall. I have some scrapes and soreness but I am good. My bf got me a ice pack and proceeded to scold me for staring. He said, "That's what you get for staring at people and not focusing." I said, "Can you blame me? I have never seen someone that huge in my entire life." He just laughed. He checked my head to make sure that I did not hit it. He then took me to Red Mango so I could some frozen yogurt on my bruised ego.

  25. Back from Germany and have lost almost 7 pounds on that trip (10 days). I didn't weigh or measure anything, but after a month of post-op foods I knew how much an appropriate portion size would be. Still, it was hard to find a variety of food that I could eat, and I mostly relied on eggs, cheese, and sliced meats for my protein/nutrition, plus protein shakes (I brought my own powder to mix) and vitamins. Also started eating a variety of different veggies, all with no problems. Caved in and ate some fruit sometimes (raspberries, blueberries) and fruit-based yogurts (despite the sugar) because they looked so delicious and unlike anything we can get in Japan. Also learned that I can eat just about anything (tried some small sausages, and a couple bites of bread, among other things) without a problem, so I'll always have to vigilant about what I eat since my only restriction will be the size of my stomach and nothing else.

      Newme17

      Awesome. Sounds like you've got great management , no weighing/counting/measuring. That's what I'll be doing. Can't stand to do that. It's harder work, in my opinion. You have mastered it and being on a trip! Wow. Good job.

    2. biginjapan

      biginjapan

      Thanks! Actually, now that I'm back I'll probably go back to counting/measuring for a while, just to get back on track. I'm now 6 weeks out from surgery which means I am no longer restricted from anything (healthy), not that that's been a problem for me! Ordered the diabetic meals for the plane rides (going to Germany was great, coming back was not) - the first meal I had was a steak! But it went down no problem (about 4.5 weeks out from surgery). Not that I'll be eating red meat every day, but it's nice to know that I can.
