lsereno replied to kthack657's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Mine was: Day 1-2: Clear liquids (broth, decaf coffee, sugar free jello and popsicles, tea) Day 3 to 2 week post-op appt: Full liquids (strained cream soup, greek yogurt, milk, cottage cheese, soy milk, apple sauce) 2 week post op to 6 week post op appt: Soft foods (cooked veggies and fruits, soft chicken and fish (no beef or pork), lunch meat, saltine crackers) 6 weeks post op: beef and pork, raw veggies and fruits, well-toasted bread Starches were discouraged. I really didn't eat them till much later. Lynda -
I was slightly lactose intolerant prior, but now it is bad. I don't throw up but it makes me have the runs something awful. Yogurt and pudding were to be my strength. Now, I suffer if I eat them. Do you think we could take Lactaid? I bought Lactaid milk, but it sounds gross. I'll talk to my surgeon next Thursday and post results. Good luck!

Bfast - 6 oz protein shake made with skim milk Lunch - had 2 chips with a little queso on it, had a taco salad about 1/4 of it made with fahitta chicken and had about 1/2 cup of quacomole on it. Did not eat it all, brought the majority of it home. DH will eat it tonight Snack - Low Carb Yogurt with 2 tsp of granola mixed in (9 grms of protein) Dinner - 7 low fat wheat thins with hummus (too many) snack - about 4 pieces thru the day of Dove SF chocolate - too many Exercise - NONE, I'm so mad at myself Water - about 45 oz - grrrr, I must get to 64 oz. Supplements - 1 Viactiv multi-Vitamin, Liquid B-12 complex Notes - Not really a good day today, I felt more hungry than previous days. I think I'm losing my restriction. I dealt with head hunger too. I was constantly looking for something to put in my mouth and I really had to watch myself. I am at the end of TOM, so not sure if that had anything to do with it. For the heck of it, I stepped on the scales (which I said I wasn't going to do) and I'm up 2 lbs (208.2). I'm not really worried about it, I figured my weight would go up some eating solid foods again, I hope it starts going back down soon. I am mad at myself for not getting out of bed this AM to exercise. Thats what I am focussed on this week - I want to get back into the habit of exercising, and it is so hard!

Help, I need lunch ideas...
jasminebsn3 replied to miaBigLoser's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I bring cheese sticks, diced chicken, a side salad, Greek yogurt, lots of bottled water, carrots and hummus, protein bars and a protein drink. I'm a nurse and I also work 7a-7p 3-4x's a week. I try to pack at least 3 meals and a few snacks when I go to work. -
I wouldn't even say that you need to go that far. I'll tell you what my practice says: days 1-6: 60 oz. Water or clear, non-caffeinated, non-carbonated, sugar-free liquids per day 60 g. Protein per day (protein shakes- powder mixed w/ water) clear broth, sugar-free Jello days 7-13: stage 2: full liquids continue 48-60 oz. Clear Liquids daily continue protein drinks- can be mixed with skim or 1% milk now- aim for 60g. protein/day light yogurt low-fat cream Soups sugar-free custard/pudding NO LUMPS OR CHUNKS!! no need to separate fluids & foods at this point Days 14-21: stage 3: mushy foods So really, I think you're FINE with the jell-o and yogurt you've had. I've seen plenty of other people who were allowed to start on "full liquids" on day 3 after surgery. Don't beat yourself up!

Starving! and other food questions.......
nesser081982 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had surgery on 4/29 and now I'm on the soft foods phase. In the morning, I eat Breakfast (a serving of rice krispies which is 1 1/4 c) around six and around 9 o'clock, I'm absolutely starving to the point where my stomach is growling and I feel like i'm going to be sick. If I have a snack then, than I'm usually hungry again around 11, and I can't go to lunch until 12:30. In the afternoons I seem to do much better. I don't know if I'm eating enough, or even if I should be eating more or less? Can someone tell me if I am doing alright? I'm sooo worried about going in and finding out that I gained weight when I go in on the 29th for my first fill. Here's my menu for during the day: Breakfast: Rice Krispies w/milk Snack: yogurt/or applesauce Lunch: 2 tbsp. tuna w/4 saltine crackers Fruit cocktail cup string cheese Snack: jello/pudding (optional) I'm sooo afraid of falling back into the way that I used to, I don't want to stay overweight. I've lost 30 lbs since I've had the surgery done, and I don't want to mess this up. Can anyone give me some advice? -
Starving! and other food questions.......
Jennifer77 replied to nesser081982's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery the day before you did, and I was in the same boat. I realized that I needed to have protein heavy breakfasts. I usually scramble 2 eggs and that can hold me long enough for lunch. Now from lunch to dinner is another story. At lunch time I can eat eat eat. No restriction with the swelling gone. Again I am really trying to load up on the proteins. Usually some kind of bean dish along with tofu, or (i know it's gross to a lot of people) but I also eat braunsweiger, or liverwurst. It helps a bit. I usually get home and have a 4oz yogurt or some cottage cheese to hold me till my husband gets home for dinner. -
Room For Veggies/full Feeling Down The Road
bnorms posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 6 weeks out. I keep reading over and over "eat Protein then veggies". I'm sorry but its a struggle just to get the protein in! Absolutely no room for veggies. I'm guessing/hoping this will change over time? I'm worried I'm not eating very healthy. I do take a Vitamin. I have a 30g Protein shake for Breakfast and then try to get the rest of my protein in by eating greek yogurt, string cheese, chicken, sliced turkey, or fish throughout the day. Is that okay? My doctors info discusses fruits/veggies/small amount of grains but there is barely enough room for the protein! I feel content as it is....I just worry about not eating anything but protein type foods. :-/ One more question....for those of you who are a lot further out, does the "normal" feeling of being full eventually return? Right now, I only know I'm full because either I get the hiccups or chest tightness.....not the "thanksgiving full" feeling I had expected to feel. I don't know if it has something to do with the nerves being disturbed during the surgery or what. I'm just curious if I will ever get that standard full feeling I used to get. (and yes, I know we should only be eating until satisfied! I am just wondering!) -
Not hungry, but new stomach is growling
Holly5.3 replied to ambermerrell80's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For me, 3 months post-op, the gurgling snd burping are still pretty chronic. No reflex, just air. Yesterday, I explained this to my dr. and he said to eat slower...ok, that I do know is a problem (getting air in stomach between bites) but I wake up at 4 am burping and stomach roaring! By 5-ish I get up to take my Ppi and start my shake or a Greek yogurt-so it's not always from eating too fast. I had this problem Pre-op too, but now it's worse! Good luck - hey if this is the worst of my "side affects", I'll take it! Down a total if 71 pounds since Aug. 11th (48.5 post op- Oct.11)-hoping to make it to 'onederland' by Feb 1st! I haven't weighed under 205 in 20 years! -
My nut said to use dry powder milk to double protien during first couple of weeks use in soups, cerials, and anything like yogurt. I only have to do one protien shake And I found out why I stalled...to few calories lol never been told in my life I wasn't eating enough lol

I have been steady losing 2lbs a day for over a week. Ever since the day I left the hospital 12/18/2012 have lost a total of 38lbs now today I've gained 2 almost 3 lbs and I only eat 3 oz of yogurt every night nothing else but water goes into my body so what gives?????

lactose intolerant???
Tiffykins replied to hope@50plus's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Could definitely be lactose intolerant. I was able to still eat yogurt and some cheeses, but milk and whey protein were out. At 1-3 weeks out, I still had watery bms, so I couldn't attribute it to anything I was "eating". I also got horrific gas, and cramping when the lactose intolerance kicked in. -
Sleeve is not cooperating today
HDubSleevery posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got up this morning and tried to have my regular Protein shake and after one three sips "sleevie wonder" said NO! I tried a smoothie made with fruit and Water and it didn't taste good either. I made some Ginger Peach tea and was able to sip that just fine. I had some yogurt mid-morning and it sat just fine. Anyone else have this happen? (I've been on a stall for about a week, so I have been trying to up my protein intake but this isn't starting off so well.) -
Sleeve is not cooperating today
HDubSleevery replied to HDubSleevery's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oooh the dehydration could be a factor. Between the head cold, the Nyquil, and an experiment with the blender and a decaf coffee smoothie last night I may have needed some fluids. I had some applesauce, some watermelon, and some yogurt today so I think things settled down later in the morning. The GREAT news is that I finally get it! I made a variation of Eggface's ricotta bake for dinner and put two tablespoons on my plate. I was thinking a tablespoon would be about an ounce. I ate half of what was on my plate and I got that "don't eat another bite" feeling. I used to have a problem with binging so I really had to think about not putting the next bite in my mouth. My brain said "do it" and my stomach said "don't you dare". I cleared my plate and have been fine ever since! I am gonna count this as an NSV. It was the first time that I really felt like I was having a normal meal since the pre-op diet. I can see light at the end of the tunnel and it is SO great! (I have a 2 year old and so I use the same plates and silverware that she does. It helps me feel like I am having a "right size" portion. LOL!) This board ROCKS! -
Why not ask your doctor? It's better to follow their instructions rather than an unknown person on the web. Ask him if you can use a pill splitter to make them smaller and take those with water rather than crushing them. The reasoning for it is likely due to 2 things - (a) not wanting you to take too large of a drink of water and (b) fear of the pill getting stuck depending on its size. I have no idea where you're at post-op, but one thing I tried was to put a pill in something like my greek yogurt.

I am one month out next week - my diet was advanced this past week. Lets see yesterday I had a Premier Protein shake for breakfast (breakfast lasts a couple of hours, it takes a long time to get through that shake now lol.) Later on I had 1/4 c homemade chicken salad (the 1/3 C is too much food for me right now) - I can eat about 1/8th C and have to take a break and can hopefully finish with in the next 30 minutes, because then I am on to really wanting to have a drink and it can be a challenge to wait 45-50 minutes. For a snack I had about an ounce each of deli turkey and sharp cheddar cheese - very satisfying. dinner was a one egg omelette with shredded sharp cheddar. And my last snack was about 1/4 C greek yogurt and 2 prunes (trying to keep things moving) This was along with all of my Vitamins and meds and about 55 oz of Water - still working hard to keep hydrated. As many have mentioned the amount of food that you can no longer consume is astonishing - I was laughing to my husband this morning that if I was to even attempt to try and gain back the weight that I have lost I would have no clue how to do it - other than maybe eat spoonfuls of caramel sauce every hour lol. It just isnt possible to get the volume in. I do find that I am enjoying my meals much more now that the weird post sugery "everything tastes like heck" phase is fading. So far the sleeve is a remarkable tool I think you will find what works for you once you are post op and try out some different things, everyone is different - it is a whole different world when you no longer need to feed the hunger/volume beast.

Day 11 Postop...somewhat discouraged
jbaker5d posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, I need some encouragement here. Unlike alot of you, my dr didn't put me on a liquid diet preop. He required Southbeach Phase 1, which is basically Protein and veggies only, no carbs whatsoever. I did ok on it except for a couple of slip ups. Nothing major. However, at the time of my surgery I had only lost 1 pound. My dr was visably put out with me and let me know it. I feel like I would have been better off on the liquid diet. Putting that behind me, I have been sticking to the rules for the postop period, adding only what is recommended when it is recommmended. I am still on full liquid, cream Soups (which I tend to enjoy more than anything else), pudding, yogurt, oatmeal, cream of wheat, and thinned mashed potatoes. The food restrictions have not been that bad, however, I've only lost 7 pounds since surgery. I know, 7 pounds is 7 pounds, but seriously, I would have thought that with such restrictions I would have at least lost 10 by now. I am trying not to be discouraged by this, but I am. I don't feel I have very much restriction at all anymore. What I had at first must have been from swelling. I know there is some, but not enough. I can easily drink down a cup and a half of cream Soup. Maybe more. I did push it last night with closer to two cups of cream of mushroom soup and I was so miserable for about an hour. Anyway, the lack of weightloss is disappointing. am I expecting too much? I see all of you guys with such great weightloss PREOP, then more POSTOP.....I guess it's just discouraging that I didn't do better preop. I don't know. Just needing some encouragement. I know "hang in there" "it will get better" "7 pounds is good" I've heard it all, but I can't help how I feel. Sorry to be so glum. Thanks for understand, Jennifer -
Two weeks to the day since my surgery and I just inhaled 6 oz of yogurt without batting an eye and if I had another cup I'd probably eat that too. How is that possible? I was told by my nutritionist that I wouldn't be able to eat that much in one sitting. I really hope I don't have an issue. I know who my first call is when I get to work this morning!!!

6 Ounces Of Yogurt
Cobrargc replied to StevieSmithtown's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
6 oz of yogurt was right at my limit following surgery. If I'd eaten another spoonful I would have felt the discomfort. The swelling has since gone down and I can take in more than 6 oz, but for quite a while this was a great nutritional choice for a sweet tooth. -
I'm 5 days post op and having puréed food. Not all the time tho, I also have broth, yogurt and cottage cheese. So far tolerating everything and down 11 pounds. I am much more comfortable sitting than laying. Each day is getting a little better.
-
I am still on liquids so they wont let me have yogurt. I dont think im hungry at least it doesnt feel like it. I feel better now not as nauseous but now my port is bothering me and last night ibwas picking stuff up off the floor and dont know if that has anything to do with any of this.
