As I research I go back and forth between trying once more to lose my 150 pounds by conventional diet or surgery. The dietary changes after surgery sound so hard I'm worried I won't be able to do it. Do you think it is easier to maintain a weight loss after surgery than it was to maintain one before? (I've lost and regained so often.) I'm so scared of dumping and vitamin deficiencies with gastric bypass. I have a mild form of GERD controlled by medicine but it makes me hesitant to try the sleeve. I'm an incredibly picky eater so worry about getting the protein in (no seafood, soft cheese, yogurt, tofu,ground or rare meat, etc). I'm 55 and starting to have real health consequences so losing weight is urgent. Advice please!

Oh my gosh I love this stuff. There are different brands and you can get them without salt, but it basically has onion, garlic, sesame seed, poppyseed, and sometimes caraway. I stopped eating bread and bagels months ago so I've been coming up with ways to use this. I mix it in plain Greek yogurt as a dip for veggies, dip hard boiled eggs into it, sprinkle on baked chicken breast...all yummy! Any other suggestions? I hope my tolerance for this hasn't changed, and I will be waiting a good long time to make sure the little bits don't get caught up in my sleeve.

Anyone getting sleeved in January?
Riley replied to kris10or's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Should have added: I was 244 day of surgery, am 5'9, was in hospital two nights. I had zero stomach pain and feel totally recovered. I also had a hiatal hernia repaired and am a former bander. I've noticed that some doctors are okay with yogurt as part of the "liquid" phase but my doctor didn't say I could have it. I am dying for a FAGE yogurt as I have been consuming one container of 2% per day for a few years. As soon as I am able - I will be back to what I think is a fabulous combo: I put several containers of FAGE in a food processor along with organic carrots, organic almonds, garlic clove, a bit of salt. I have no idea why I love this so much but I do. I'd eat 4 of them a day if I could afford to. I have (or was having) it every day first thing in the a.m. and it gave me multiple hits of good things: antioxidants, Fiber, Protein. Just my little tip. Hang in there everyone - I think the very worst of it is behind us (waiting for surgery). -
Yogurt, cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, avocado, cheese sticks, refried Beans , mashed up meatballs with some sauce and ricotta. I pretty much only drink Water. Sometimes I splash some Light cranberry juice in it. Or float some lemons, limes or cucumber for flavor.

I use fermented foods for pro-biotics: yogurt, eat pickles, kraut, ricotta, ginger, dark chocolate are sources I eat, but there are others. Ii did not get constipated until I started soft foods. It happened ONE time and will not happen again. It was like pushing a watermelon through a straw. I put Walgreens Smooth-lax in my smoothies and have stool softeners on hand if I need them. There is also Smooth Move Teas. There is a certain joke to eating Haribo's sugar free Gummy Bears. They are so effective that you will be cramping within a couple of hours. The joke is that if there is someone you don't like or is giving you grief at work, just set some out on your desk or in a lunchroom, and you will reek havoc and chaos as people fight for bathroom stall. Go to Amazon.com and search for reviews of Haribo Gummy Bears. OMG it's hilarious.

I had gastric bypass surgery on December 29th, and I can't tell when I'm hungry anymore. Before surgery, hunger used to feel like my stomach grumbling and I'd feel like a tightness in my core and I'd know, intuitively, that it's time to eat. Now, I don't know if I've felt hungry at all since the surgery. Sometimes I feel stomach pain like almost gas pain, and I eat something and feel a little better. Daily, I'm working on my fluids - and drinking my protein. I don't really focus on food at all, and I eat like maybe 2 times a day - cottage cheese and a little Greek yogurt. I'm going to start trying soft foods next week. In your experience, what does hunger now feel like to you?

Keep having to "#2" after I eat, is this normal?
courtcourt90 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just noticed that every time I eat something rather it's tuna or yogurt. Within 30 minutes I have to boo boo. Is this normal with gastric sleeve? And sometimes it's a slight burn to it too, I know tmi lol -
3rd week post op misery
BLERDgirl replied to kaydeemacc's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Soup, herbal tea, kefir (yogurt drink), Protein shakes, Protein drinks. This is the start of doing the mental work toward changing your relationship with food. YES, it's a pain, yes, the urge to chew is strong. Get your water/fluid in anyway possible; plain, herbal tea, crystal light, diluted apple juice. JUST DO IT. If you get dehydrated you run the risk of ending up in the hospital. I remember wanting to toss my shakes out the window. It sucks, but months from now it will be a distant memory. Finish out the liquid phase according to schedule. -

You don't mention purees in the food choices you're so tired of. Throw some cooked chicken in the blender with some chicken broth and unflavored Protein powder. Throw canned tuna in the blender with broth and plain yogurt. And of course you can stand it for a couple more days. You worked hard to earn the privilege of all these liquids, and they're the means to an end. You've got this. -
I need advice. I had a fill on Tuesday Jan 12th today I can't even swallow. I have puked and slimed most of the day.
bandedandbashful posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I had a fill which put me at 5.1ml on Tuesday. This morning with 3 small bites of oatmeal I slimed and puked for 4 hours. Yes 4 hours! Then I was able to barely sip a Protein drink. Got it down though. My throat was so dry and sore I thought something cold like a frozen fat free yogurt would soothe me. Wrong! It has now been 2 hours and the something. I am slimming and puking. What do you suggest? -
When swallowing tablets of medicine?
tappingmom replied to cocoa8utter's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Try using yogurt instead of water, helps mask the awful taste. -
Check your documentation for what constitutes a "full liquid" I was surprised that it included puddings and Jello, yogurt, etc. Those might stick a little longer.

1 Month Sleeved
Emilie.Lancaster replied to rosebud_char's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I eat about 850 calories each day fairly consistently. I hit my 80 g protein each day. I have a thin cup of coffee each morning, it helps me poo (don't judge.) And I eat half a zone perfect bar at work over the course of the morning. Then school lunch option (sometimes a half chicken Patty or a short cup of beans or their boiled yellow squash, something like that, but I can't ever finish it in one sitting. I take it back with me and finish it two hours later) I drink a protein drink. Premier is my favorite, over ice and usually over two or three hours. A cheese stick gets in there somewhere and soup for dinner. Maybe a yogurt popsicle if the calorie count allows. I count the cals... Every day. I have tried lots of foods I am not supposed to be ready for yet, and don't think I've done any damage. If it does not go down easy, I stop, and back up to mostly liquids. I had half a piece of pizza the other day. No problems. Beef, not so good. I had ricotta bake the other day and it was good, but the same thing today, and three bites on I wanted to barf. Only barfed once since sleeve Dec. 8. That was the dry trout. Ick. I believe that it's all a matter of calories, protein, and liquids. If I drink them all or chew, it makes little to no difference if I stay in parameters. I am down 25 pounds from surgery day, 30 from "go" date (11/23) I think it's a nice steady decline I can live with. -
How much ounces do you eat after 1 year?
Babbs replied to Hagar.vsg's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm 17 months out, and it just depends on what it is. If it's a light white fish, I can eat about 5-6 oz with a few bites of veggies. If it's beef, which is a little denser, only 4-5 oz with a couple bites of veggies. Same with chicken. I can eat 3/4 cup of Soup, cottage cheese, oatmeal, yogurt and the like. -

Nibbler replied to princesswarrior's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm just under 4 months out and I too feel I'm eating too many carbs and not enough Protein. eggs don't sit well and I don't eat fish or yogurt (blahhh...have tried and tried) So I have resolved to make one big pot of soup per week, this has been helpful since I can eat meat if its wet enough. plus boiling soup bones (beef, ham, chicken, turkey) is full of collegian protein I'm a work in progress. -
Are you reaching your protein target? I like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, tuna, turkey, cheese sticks, avocado, etc.

????Any May Gastric Bypass peeps????
cfinch70 replied to Salonboi's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Hi all Sorry it's been so long since I last posted. I have been doing well, too well in fact haha. I've lost over 200 lbs and my Dr wants me to stop losing and drink high calorie shakes. So to go back, 3 week after surgery i had that contained leak and was doing better after that, then I got cdiff which was caused by all the antibiotics they gave me in the hospital. That was a pain, alot of diarrhea so they gave me more antibiotics lol and I also took prebiotic and ate yogurt and took t ok me to get back to normal. I should say during this whole time I had no appetite at all and had to force myself to eat. The loss of appetite is caused by the cdiff. So in the beginning of September I was getting my appetite back but slowly and this is why I think I lost so much weight so fast. Also during this time my gout kicked in big time and my Dr said I could take naproxen but limited and I also take allopurinol. Well I only had taken 3 naproxen over three weeks then they changed it to celebrex. So in November I was wanting to eat more, I couldnt. I could only eat soft foods or Soup. Mr Dr ordered and upper endoscopy and found the stoma had closed half way due to the nsaids. So they were able to open it back up at the same time and boy does it feel good to be able to eat better. The Dr thinks it might be closing again and to stop the celebrex. The reason why I was still on it was the Dr said that even though it's an nsaid it delivers it in a different way than normal nsaid are in the body. But it should be an easy fix again. Anyway haha that's how I've been, not a bad time. So any good suggestions on high calorie Protein Shakes? Any questions please ask. Haha hope you all are doing well too. -

I go to the gym first thing...when getting ready after shower I drink a Protein shake...then about 30 mins later breakfast...eggs/special k protein/yogurt w/granola or sunflower or pumpkin seeds mid morning snack: yogurt with granola or pumpkin seeds/protein bar/kind bar lunch: protein and a veggie afternoon snack: usually something crunchy...I am addicted to the snap-pea baked snack/pb with applesauce dinner: protein and a veggie -
For me, what has worked long term is to have a protein bar or protein drink daily to up my protein. I eat a lot of chicken thighs... Cooked in liquid to keep moist. Also chicken salad works for me Usually with a small salad or vege on the side. Some people like quinoa, beans with rice, edamamesJerky, nuts or yogurt. Extra protein milk helps too...all really fairly high in protein. Also eggs and cottage cheese can be good options It seems like you have to experiment to find what works to keep your protein high. Water is what I have to work on daily. I attempt to not sit without a tall container... I'm mostly successful, but I need to remind myself a lot! Best of luck. It is kinda trial and error with what food agrees with you.

I found that when I cut out dairy products my rumbly gut went away. I now eat greek yogurt and occasionally cheese and they bring it back, but if I stick to just Fairlife milk, I have no rumbly gut problems. Perhaps that will help you too. pam

So I am eating my first mush food today. I had refried Beans (black beans), low fat shredded cheese and a little guacamole. My stomach feels like it is constricting when the food hits it? Is this normal. I am not feeling nauseous or anything (maybe a little gassy) so I stopped and took a few bites of my cottage cheese. Same thing. I also had a hernia fixed when I got the sleeve. I did get a Greek yogurt down this morning and a few bites of scrambled egg (it ended up being too dry for me) Anyone else have the constricting pain when first eating?

Marcci, I understand how you're feeling. I love chocolate and can't think of putting it in my mouth right now. Smells are all over the place for me as well. I had breathing issues before I left the hospital but everything is fine now (surgery was 1/6). I still can only drink vanilla and eat Greek yogurt. I don't know if you can find this - Chloe's Bars - has 60 cals, fine sugar and non-dairy, gluten free tastes great. Soup is not working for me as too salty - even the low sodium hope you feel better soon and hug yourself! We all need hugs
