Hello, I'm excited to have found this forum! I have lots of questions all the time and I can't attend the support groups offered in my area because they conflict with my work schedule! I have been dying to talk to someone that has experienced the same things I have! My sweet husband is trying so hard to help but can't give the advise I need! I had my surgery (RY) on September 2nd! It has been a mixture of sad, mad and happy emotions. I could of used this forum along time ago. One month later and I am still unable to eat anything solid! Protein drinks, broths, yogurts and soup with very soft veggies! I am so sad I can't eat normally, food was such a comfort thing for me. I am mad at everyone that can eat whatever they want. But I am so happy with the results, one week after surgery I was off of all diabetic medication and my BG has been normal since, I have lost over 40lbs thus far and I feel so great physically! The sad and the mad are feelings that are psychological and they are far more overwhelming than the happy feeling. Am I alone in this war of emotions?

Feeling weak and nearly fainted
pixigrl replied to ReadySetFit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Here's a thought. How about combining the two? I have hydrolized protein powder (fruit punch flavor) that I add to my liter water bottle. It's 280 calories (great for weaknes) and it's 60 grams of protein! Also, try the bariatric soups and puddings. They have 20-30 grams of protein in them and they are easy to digest and made with the intent of dealing with sensitive tummies. Please don't be freaked out by the amount of calories. We eat so little now that it evens out. Plus the protein in the water will help you to stay full for a longer period between meals. For the rest of the day you can focus on "comfort" and soothing foods that may not necessarily meet the protein needs. Have that yogurt or soup or frozen yogurt that will settle into your stomach and stay. -
I am 3 months out, I can definitely eat more than I did at 1 month post op. I probably can eat 3 ounces or less of solid food and am pretty full. I make my own Greek yogurt and I measure that out with my blueberries and that's about 3/4 cup but it takes me about a half hour + to eat it and that's more of a slider food. @sillykitty your link to that thread was great, that helped me too. It goes to show you how different everyone's sleeve is. It was nice to see what people ate too, I'm sick of everything I'm eating!

Concerned about caloric intake
Babes911 replied to Sweedfire86's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi I had my sleeve 07/2/2018 less than a week post op. And it has been challenging. I am very gassy which has me in pain all day long . Am still on the diet that i was given at the hospital which is: 1 yogurt 1 protein shake I cup yea 2 bottles of water and 1 christalite And I can barely talk it all in for the day cus every time I take a sip in something the gas starts acing up in my stomach n throat which hurts like hell. -
San on light and fit is not Greek yogurt... I would watch the sugar content cause typically when something is low fat it's high in augar
-
Fage 0% yogurt is good. I live on Long Island too & I believe most of the supermarkets carry it.
-
Also look at the sugar content. I also eat the Dannon lite and fit because the sugar is less than most Greek yogurts.

15 days post op and can drink 11oz of Protien Shake
sleevedinschool replied to AdiosAnnie300's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I came on here with the exact same question as OP, and this is just what I needed to hear. I was worried about not feeling much restriction with full liquids like Premier Protein or yogurt. Thanks! -

Not sure what you mean by "the size of a chicken", but a yogurt, a few nuts, a small bowl of chili and a few crackers should add up to about 500 calories. If that is all you are eating I think you are definately not overdoing it. I would think that purging would put a lot of unwanted stress on your stomach. 65 lbs. in four months is phenomenal. I wouldn't worry about a thing!

I just started full liquids today so I'm just dreaming about the future.... lol Eggface (the website with all the great recipes) posted a 'master wrap list'.

Master Wrap List: Turkey, Swiss cheese, Avocado Chicken salad Tuna Salad chicken or Turkey, Grilled Veggies (zucchini or eggplant), Provolone (Hot or Cold) Chicken or Turkey, Provolone, Olive Tapenade (Hot or Cold) Grilled Chicken, Romaine Lettuce, Caesar Dressing Grilled Chicken, Romaine Lettuce, Cilantro Yogurt Dip Turkey, Muenster Cheese, Hummus, Sprouts Smoked Salmon, Cream Cheese, Cucumber, Dill Roast Beef, Swiss Cheese, Wasabi Mayo Corned Beef, Swiss Cheese, Coleslaw, Thousand Island Dressing Cannelini Bean Salad Goat Cheese, Pesto, Sun Dried Tomatoes, Pine Nuts, Olive Tapenade (Hot or Cold) Green (Pesto) eggs and Ham BLT with fresh Basil (Hot or Cold) Fresh Mozzarella, Basil, Tomatoes or Tomato Sauce (Hot or Cold) Leftover Beef, Chicken or Shrimp Fajitas or Stirfry (Hot or Cold) Turkey, Tomato, Herbed Spreadable Cheese, Baby Spinach (Hot or Cold) Scrambled Eggs, Cheese, Refried Beans Egg Salad and Baby Spinach Peanut Butter and SF Jelly (Hot or Cold) Cream Cheese flavored with some SF Torani strawberry Syrup and sliced banana (Hot or Cold) Peanut Butter and Mashed Banana (Hot or Cold) Here's a few of my latest creations. Check back I will be adding more to the list I'm sure. Tip: Not using your tortillas that quickly? You can freeze and then defrost them for later use. Just place them in an airtight container with a piece of parchment paper between each.

Purred Diet Ideas Please
sassypants replied to Shaniceh01's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Its pretty much anything you can shove in a blender/ use a hand blender on Think homemade baby food. I made soups and thickly blended them by using less of the stock. I did fruit purees my fave was peach pear and apple. you do have to cook them down with some water then blend them not just "raw" fruit You can do like chicken stew/casserole and blitz it so yeah pretty much anything you like as long as its healthy of course and if you do fruit like I did its not your all day food choice I did that and still do for a fruit options add it to yogurt or breakfast stuff it all depends. To make the food wetter you just add fluid like gravy, stock, milk, protein shake even. I mainly stuck to thicker home made soups because I had a hard time with all meats so it was easier to just blend a chicken or turkey and veg soup and that be my food. -
Thanks everyone. For example, my doctor got irritated with me because I had greek yogurt for Breakfast (during one of our conversations at the fill). He said, "no, no....that's a slider food. you should be doing sausage and eggs for breakfast" That's all well and good, but of course, sausage is full of fat. And, I normally don't eat breakfast until I am hungry.

Two ways... if I'm out with my husband and son I just order an extra plate and pick of their plates. I love that because I get a good variety to choose from. If I'm with others I'll order a meal and eat what I can and ask for a go box. Most people don't notice that you didn't each much unless you make it obvious. Lots of times I will pass some to my husbands like "here try this!" He doesn't have a weight problem so he is happy to oblige. If I have lots left over I eat it for lunch and dinner the next day. I have a teen-aged son so many times it never makes it that long:-) I never eat at fast food and will pass up an invitation that is offered. I only eat at restaurants that I am familiar with and have healthy options to choose from. Most people understand when we try to eat healthy and will step in line. If they don't, or they get snarky, then re-evaluate the friendship or embarrass the hell out of them by bringing a sack lunch to the eatery because they've chosen a place with no options:-) Yes, I've done that. My girlfriends wanted to go to Arby's for lunch even after my protests...I stopped at the grocery store, picked up a yogurt and sat with them while they ate crap...HA! Now that I'm down 40+ pounds they get it and have stepped in line:-)

Absolutely drink it cold. When I am on the go, I take a little 6 pk ice chest.... when I am at home, I put it into my magic bullet and add some crushed ice or a big spoon of greek yogurt and blend it....I have added frozen fruit but not always. The vanilla is good that way, with fruit. Also I bought Capella flavored drops and one I have makes the chocolate taste like an almond joy. I also have some SF Torani in Hazelnut, add a little of that for a different taste. Sams Club has this by Kahlua and I got some coffee syrup in SF. Yummy.....

Hey all- My surgery date is 2-7-18 and i start my liver diet tomorrow which will consist of 2 premier protein shakes and 4oz of meat and veggie for dinner. I can also have unlimited non starchy veggies throughout the day (like spinach, cabbage, ect) along with 1/2 cup of fruit with a shake and a nonfat greek yogurt as a snack. One thing i have been striving to work hard on is my mental. Im sure i will be able to do it and i need to stop letting food fill different voids in my life. Is anyone else starting tomorrow with me?

I have to experiment with my shake-making in order to come up with something that I like and it tends to work. For instance, I mix unsweetened almond milk with chocolate almond milk (because I'm not a chocolate fan) and then add 2 scoops of Protein powder. I also use plain yogurt or regular almond milk and blend with frozen fruit (peaches, strawberries, blueberries) w/powder. I HATE the pre-packaged protein shakes and there's no one way to make your own shake/smoothie to get your protein in as long as you watch the carbs & calories. This is a link that I found on this website earlier http://www.advancedbariatricsurgery.com/forum/?f=10. I'm also going to order my powder from Jay Robb because those are lower in calories and carbs and higher in protein. http://www.jayrobb.com/default.asp.

Surgery was the 23rd and I was on clear liquids for the first week and full liquids this week and next. Full liquids meant soups! Cream of anything soups :-) also I've had a few bites of yogurt and some cheddar cheese. I have the same problem with gas in my chest every single time I ingest anything. I'm losing my mind. Because of that I'm seriously struggling to get in 40oz a day of everything combined. -MM

It was explained to me as anything on the clear list, plus cream soups, milk, yogurt, sugar free pudding, cream of wheat, sugar free ice pops.

Struggle to keep down multivitamins
nikisa replied to nikisa's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have 9 total chewable that I have to take a day. I tried taking 4 at a time once.....big mistake. I like your idea of taking them before bed though. My calcium pills are the ones that give me the most trouble. I'll give it a shot. Thank you! Mixing with yogurt? Great idea! -
Struggle to keep down multivitamins
HopeandAgony replied to nikisa's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am suppose to take 3 a day. I got the OK from my Dr to take them all at once. So now I take them right before bed with a little yogurt. If I don't take them will food I get all the symptoms of being about to throw up. This is the only way I've found that works for me. I am 4 weeks post op. They must be working because my hair and nails are growing like crazy. -
Way to go, Liz! Ah New York, where you have things like restaurants with South African food. We socialize a great deal and I'm learning how things vary for me. Yesterday we were going to a cousin's house for a pot-luck-ish dinner. Wouldn't you know I was hungry at 4:30 -- a full two hours before we'd be eating. Nothing to do but have my "tea" consisting of an egg and some yogurt. If I'm hungry I eat, that's my rule for myself. I don't wait. I didn't want to attract attention at the gathering so I took a portion of stew and some salad then played with it. People are generally focused on their own meals once things get started; it's the ordering or serving that I find most uncomfortable.

Hello all! I'm new onto this site and thought it would be nice to say hi to everyone and I do have a few questions. Well a little about myself: My name is Kelsey. I'm 19 years old. Having my gastric sleeve surgery on the 11/18/2014. I live in OC Cali. I am appx 5'1 and 295lbs. My goal is to be 130lbs and a size 9 My surgeon told me to start my liquid diet on the 1st of this November but I'm looking to start it a little early. He told me that all I'll be eating is 3 Protein shakes for Breakfast lunch and dinner and then a yogurt in between breakfast and lunch and then a broth in between lunch and dinner. But I've heard other doctors will let people have some food. Did anyone strictly follow just liquids? If your surgeon said you were able to have food, did it have an impact on if your liver shrank small enough for the surgery to be done without complications? I know the standard for post op surgery is 3-4 weeks on liquids and then 3-4 weeks of pureed food and then slowly go into eating regular food again. Did anyone stay on the liquid or pureed diet for longer? Maybe 6-7 weeks? I've heard of people doing both. Thank you guys!
