Making Lists! - Things you wished you had in the hospital or at home after surgery!
Kindle replied to Jenkins's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
All I brought was my iphone, iPad, Chargers and toothbrush/toothpaste. Didn't need anything else that the hospital didn't provide. Wore the same clothes home that I came in, including a hat so I didn't have to worry about brushing my hair. All postop meds were dispensed to me before I left. I actually went shopping for drinkable yogurt, pedialyte, Lifewater, decaf herbal tea and GasX strips on my drive home from the hospital. Already had Protein shakes, unflavored Protein powder and broth at home. -
@@dlappjr, Nutritionally, you can speed muscle recovery and glycogen (fuel) replenishment if you take in some nutrients within 15 to 60 minutes after finishing your workout. The goal is 4 grams of carbs for every gram of Protein. If it’s just a snack, you can aim for about 10 grams of protein plus 40 grams of carbs. For a meal, you can go for about 80 grams of carbs and 20 grams of protein. You could have Peanut Butter and whole grain toast, or whole grain cereal/oatmeal with milk, or a shake with Protein powder and fruit, or a sweet potato and Greek yogurt… As for the actual workouts: if you’re super sore, it could mean you worked super hard. Soreness peaks at 48 hours (2 days) post workout, so if you’re aiming to work the same muscles two days later, you’re probably still going to be sore. What you could do is switch up the muscle groups and workouts, so you’re not hitting the same muscles as hard until they’ve recovered more. You could also do cardio on your off days to get the blood flowing (and burn calories). Another thought is that you could be overtraining. If you’re really that sore, maybe your body just isn’t used to those kinds of workouts yet. That would mean either be patient until your body gets used to them (like take the extra day of recovery if you need it), or scale back on the workouts until your body is ready to hit it that hard without needing so much recovery. Anyway, good for you for working so hard! You will see great results if you keep it up!

Milk and bread? What? French toast? Protein drinks and bars and yogurt and string cheese. Coffee and wine no doubt. I could get by for awhile. Ok, chicken, broccoli and asparagus too!

Starting Over is Always Scary but Worth It !
Julie norton replied to DeborahDav's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I keep my band on the looser side. It makes ME struggle more. That is what makes me want to not give up. Keep on with the protein drinks, bars, jerkey, string cheese, yogurt, a few nuts ( like us) chicken thighs in liquid. And artichokes, bananas, salad etc. Throw in a new potatoe occasionally, chili, refried beans and avocado and there is my plan for many moons. Seems to work, but I gotta work at it !! -
I am almost through my first week of pre-op 6 months supervised diet. For me the dr calls it a sandwich diet. One week high Protein /low carb and two weeks clear liquid alternating. I found unflavored hemp protein to try but was wondering if anyone else has food allergies? I am allergic to caseins in dairy and eggs. Many protein drinks have egg albumin and of course whey is out. So many high protein suggestions are hard boiled eggs , yogurt , cottage cheese but I can't eat any of it. I feel like this is going to be a bigger challenge for me .

I was very restricted and literally a couple of bites would fill me. With dense Protein like chicken I still can only eat a few bites and I am full. If it is something really soft like yogurt I could maybe eat 1/4 cup and further down the road I was able to eat 1/2 cup. Even now 16 months later 1/2 cup cottage cheese will fill me or 2 to 3 oz. of meat. What you are experiencing is normal.

I cannot tolerate meat, so I tend to eat the same thing(s) every day. For lunch I either have a greek yogurt, babybel cheese, 1/2C cottage cheese, 1/4C cashews, Protein bar (Quest, atkins, etc.) or some type of Soup.

Pregnant 8 months post op
Kathy Coop replied to MaDz Al Hammadi's topic in Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery Forum
No problems. No morning sickness. Took my Prenatals in the gummy form because I couldn't swallow this big pills. I focused on getting as much protein down as I could have a little bit of dehydration because I couldn't drink large amounts and I live in a place that hits 113 degrees in the summer. Lots of swimming. Because of my surgery I did have a lot of extra appointments but everything was great. For me yogurts and a cheese went down best I put protein powder in my coffee (I am a vegetarian) taco Bell pintos and cheese was a serious lifesaver!!! The doctor explained to me kind of weird he said babies are like a tumor or like cancer they'll take what they want from you. They can thrive in crack whores!!! I was like.... Ok lol -

Post Surgery Foods You Can't Tolerate But Wish You Could
Cutwater replied to Cutwater's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm still on a pretty heavy Protein kick. I "front load" a lot of my protein early in the day with Greek yogurt (and a scoop of high quality protein) and either a Protein shake or Quest Protein Bar. I haven't found a ready made protein shake I can tolerate, so I mix my own with unsweetened almond milk. The one food group I'm enjoying more of is fresh fruit, but it has to be cold and I keep the portion size very reasonable. -
Letty's journey post-op
lorri716 replied to Rdsegobia's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a huge waist too. I'm also at a 36 now. The only Greek yogurt I can eat is oikos triple zero. Yes nuts are the devil. I have issues with just eating away like it's nothing with them too. Glad your getting back on track. I weighed in at 193 today. -
I always have some almonds handy, but I like a good Quest protein bar or some Greek yogurt with a scoop of vanilla protein.

Another reason not to drink while eating is the liquid can empty the sleeve sooner and you will not stay full as long. Same reason they ask you to not get too comfortable in the soft food stage. Yogurts and applesauce will just slide right through your sleeve. You can do it! ????

Will anything ever taste good again?
theladyslipper posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 2 weeks post sleeve and am mostly having premier protein shakes and a creamed of chicken protein soup when I'm feeling like something "savory." Every yogurt tastes very artificial and the puréed soup that I've made with protein powder (I like UnJury chicken soup protein powder) & liquified just tastes kind of terrible. Now I prayed that sugar would taste terrible to me post-op b/c I love sweets, but savory vegetable purées taste quite bad too. Has anyone else had this problem?? Does it ever go away?? -
Letty's journey post-op
Rdsegobia replied to Rdsegobia's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well just wanted to give a quick update I'm up 2lbs from last time I weight on 1/10 - today I'm 189 lbs little disappointed, but I just think I need to change things since my weight is been stuck for couple of weeks. I will keep up with my 3 mile walks every day, however I will start doing 40 min workout during my lunch hour at work. I believe tomorrow is spinning will see how it goes. My eating have been good, I put in all the protein needed between 70-90 grams, water between 70-80 oz however I do see carbs have increase to 60-70 grams, but they are usually from beans, vegetables , yogurt and flaxseed. I'm going to stop eating beans at least for a while cause I been eating them with every meal, I used to have 1/4 cup per meal but now is closer to 1/2 cup. I also changed the yogurt which now has more carbs I should have never tried those in the first place cause now I want them, but they are the yoplait whips 100 calorie ones. I'm going back to chobani 100 calories or I'm going to look for the fage Greek yogurt. Other thing is the nuts of course those are my weakness but I will stop completely eating them since I cannot control the portion that I'm eating. I just know this is stopping the weight loss. Well on the bright side: I did not took measurements when I started my journey with the exception of my waist.... Well when I started my journey I had a HUGE waist of 52in and as of today is 36!!! that just makes my day ???????????? -
The truth is, I failed
A New KK replied to AmyFromCincy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hated the Protein shakes but managed to gag them down anyway. That is until someone posted about GENEPRO unflavored Protein powder. I mix it into sugar free pudding, sugar free hot cocoa etc. I've mixed in cottage cheese or yogurt into the Protein Shakes with a little sugar free jam and it turns out like a fruit milkshake. There are ways to get the protein in that is not so gross. I like ricotta cheese better than cottage cheese so I mix the protein powder into that and you can't even tell and 1 scoop adds 30 grams of protein. As hard as it is to eat, nothing tastes as good as thin feels. Buy yourself an nice outfit one size down and hang it on your bedroom door where you have to look at it several times a day. I find that a great motivating factor. I just go shopping in the back of my closet and decide what I want to fit in next. -
My dr does a 2 week pre op diet. 2 Meal Replacement shakes a day. 1 dairy snsck-Greek yogurt or cottage cheese. 2-3 cups vegetables and 3-4 ounces lean Protein, that can be split into 2 meals if desired. At the surgery class I think they said 1 hard boiled egg counts as 1 oz protein. Does this sound right? I bought a 2-pack of eggs at wawa this morning and it was 3 oz total. Thanks.

Day 4 of preop diet..major headache
bncbabe2015 replied to bncbabe2015's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you all so much! Right now I'm so groggy and sleepy and feel like my head is gonna pop off. I am not allowed to have any meats or veggies. Only Protein shakes, broth, sugar free Jello, sugar free pudding, Greek yogurt -
I have been burping up foamy slime every time I eat, usually about two bites into a meal, I feel like I have food stuck but after this nasty foamy stuff comes up I seem to be able to eat fine. This even happens when I eat yogurt so I know it's not because I don't chew enough. I can't go out to eat or eat with people because I know I'll have this problem, I also burp ALOT!! Any suggestions, comments, help??? Thank You all sooooo much!!

Hi everyone, I'm moving on to the thick liquid and purée stage. Just wondering if anyone has suggestions for low carb options. I've been having a Premier Protein shake for Breakfast and lunch which are low carb, but the Soups I've purchased are all really high carbs. I liked the idea of Soup because it feels like a "normal meal", not just a snack like yogurt, pudding, etc. I realize I'm eating super low calories so carbs shouldn't necessarily be a huge concern but I know in the past I've been successful at losing the weight when I'm in ketosis, so would like to keep my carbs low for the next few weeks. Hoping it helps prevent me plateauing too early. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

Any shift workers, how do you schedule your meals?
CaPoppy replied to ididit34's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't work shift work, but my schedule always seems erratic. I drink a Protein drink while I am getting ready. Then if I have any breaks at work or on the drive home I eat a Protein Bar. And then dinner when I'm home. Try eating a protein bar when you are driving home and during breaks. And drinking a shake when you are getting ready or after your workout. If you feel like snacking, make the snack a protein bar, shake, or yogurt or something. Since your schedule is altered 2am-6am is your evening. Regular people are eating dinner in their evening and usually have a snack after their dinner. So as long as you are making good choices then the snacking should be okay. Especially if you need to eat more food. -
Day 3 post-op: Today is much better! I took my (gagging, awful) pain med last night to ensure good sleep. This morning I woke up with minimal pain so I decided I would go as long as possible w/o taking my liquid poison 'er pain med. So far I've not taken any today (knock on wood). I was able to eat a small amount of Cream of Wheat hot Cereal (maple & brown sugar) which made me happy. Everyone talks about the first "real" food they eat after pre-op liquid diet and then surgery. I am sipping on a cold Premier Protein RTD Protein shake this morning with no issues as long as I go slow. I am also better able to tolerate small sips of Water (up until today it HURT to swallow water). As far as my protein shake goes, I am keeping a small lunch cooler nearby with several ice gel packs. After a few sips of shake I seal it up and pop it in the cooler to keep it max cold and close by for the next few sips. I don't like room-temp Protein drinks so cold is key for me. Plus, I assume anything that goes down cold will help with internal swelling. I'm looking forward to "lunch" which could be smooth Greek yogurt or unsweetened apple sauce. Hmmm...decisions. Hope everyone is doing well today! Hang in there #JanSleevers!

My post op put me on full liquids the day I came home from the hospital. I found 2 oz serving containers in the party section of my local Walmart and I put my yogurt, soup, sf jello, sf pudding, etc into those. I also bought baby spoons. Using that container and the baby spoon, it takes me 20-30 minutes to eat.
