I tried one, it was whey protein but the flavor was apple and I hated it! I also cant stand milk, but only cows milk. I make my shakes out of vanilla and coconut almond milk and mix a lil yogurt in and its pretty good.

Hey Dawn. I gained 15 lbs in the hospital and let me tell you, I was hot! Lol. I had orginally planned to only weight at the dr's office or monthly but tomorrow is my two week mark so I decided to sneak a peak. I have lost the reminder of the gained Water weight plus one pound. I like you am thinking that it may not be fast but it is progress! I am finding it so hard to get my Protein and fluids in. I love to drink, I just get busy and realize that it has been two hours since I drank anything. Then I try to drink slowly but efficently for the remainder of the day. Does that ever happen to you? Today I bought some different soups, snack size cottage cheese, and Greek yogurt with fruit on the side. I am hoping that having access to this "easy" protein will help. Also, have you started back with your supplements? I did only take bc pills. Now I am trying to take the nausea meds, bc pill, Multivitamin, b-12, vit d and Calcium. I just don't have the room for it all so it usually ends up being nausea meds, pain med at night, and bc pill. Just curious if you are taking supplements, how are you dividing them out? Hope you have a great day!!!

Soft food stage. When you go out to dinner, what do you get?
cindymg replied to Crissigus's topic in Food and Nutrition
Mashed potatoes, soft moist chicken (Boston Market is good for this), plain Greek yogurt with s/f preserves, cottage cheese, string cheese, moist ground beef, moist turkey, eggs any way, s/f pudding, any kind of cream soup (Panera Bread broccoli cheese soup with tiny bits of their chicken dropped in makes a nice protein packed meal), cream of wheat. -
I tried yogurt hopeing my tastes had changed, nope still don't like it I am taking a multivitamin but that is it. My doctor hopes I will be able to keep all my levels up on my own but we are checking them all in the middle of this month and if I'm not then I'll have to take supplements! The only other thing I take is the Nexuim everyday! I've been getting in like 2 C of milk and now eggs and protein drinks so I hope I don't end up going on any supplements!

One thing I noticed right off the bat is that you are still eating a lot of mushy type foods. Things like tuna, yogurt, and soup can easily slide through your pouch. You need to eat grilled chicken, fish, ground beef or turkey and more solid like foods. They will keep you fuller longer because they will collect in the pouch and not slide through as quickly. I can't imagine why at 8.5 cc's you are not losing. You may be eating high calorie soups. I would suggest making sure you get a little exercise in everyday. Maybe you need an unfill to allow you to eat more solid foods without getting them stuck. Don't give up. Keep in touch with your doctor and nutritionist.

Am I Stuck Or Too Tight??
PandorasBox92264 replied to pibble11's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Even on me in the morning a Protein shake moves slow! I can't eat or drink a shake unitil my band decides to wake up as I call it. try a hot beverage in the morning will help to open you up if you need to, I only do that in the week after a fill. I have found IF I try to push something through or have an issue in the morning I have residual irritation for the day. I would suggest maybe giving the band a rest with liquids or stuff like cottage cheese etc in for a couple of days to let it settle down.. ON the Snapple issue even before I was pre banded that stuff regular or diet made me acidic..not sure what is it but it doesn't agree with me. I do not know of any food allergies either that I might have. Also you said you eat dry Cereal, or a potato puff or some crackers, it could be the dryness that is causing you an issue then the fluids/yogurt on top of it is causing you to dam up. If you can put away alot in the afternoon then I would think that your restriction is fine, you might just have things you can not eat in the morning, if you can eat them later in the day. But try the hot tea/coffee warm it up, followed by a Protein Shake or yogurt see how that works.. I also do not take pills or eat anything right before bed because it can sit there. Take some Water before going to bed to help wash anything down.. -
Am I Stuck Or Too Tight??
pibble11 replied to pibble11's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you everyone for your input. This morning I tried to stick with only liquids. I had a tiny bit of Snapple and although I didnt pb it kept going up and down and I was burping on it (I get that a lot with Snapple) then I tried orange juice and it went right down... I'm wondering if Snapple is an issue? Its hard for me to pinpoint what I usually eat in the morning because I try a little bit of anything. Like I might have 1 or 2 crackers, or a bit of dry cereal, some yogurt, or a mini potato puff. The other day I had a bit of fat-free sugar-free ice cream and couldn't keep it down even though its normally a slider food! also at night if I drink anything before bed I simply cant go to sleep because I feel it and I keep burping on it and it goes up and down a lot. I am thinking of getting a 1/4 cc out as many of you suggested, but I am still puzzled as to why the band should get tighter with time. I thought it would get looser as you lose weight! -
Actually, your routine sounds like a pretty good one at your stage. You are hungry because your body is screaming for raw materials to start building. 1200 calories is too low for that much activity. I would add that you shouldn't fear fat, juust avoid the crappy kind. Milk, cheese, yogurt, etc... are good ideas if you are weightlifting. Not only does it have natures perfect blend of fat/carbs/protein, milk has naturally occuring growth hormone for, you know, growing muscles! Personally, I think you should be in the 1500-1800 calorie range. And eventually when/if your lifting gets to the 100+ lbs major lifts, you will be in the 2000-2500 range. My surgeon reviewed my diet logs and lifting diary and said he thinks I should go to 3500 and I told him it just wasn't possible. He's a lifter, so I think he was thinking with that part of his brain instead of the former fat guy just wants to be healthy!

What kind of foods are ok as soft foods sleeve post-op?
Pescador replied to Johndoe's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
As much as I love potatoes I have learned no potatoes, pasta or bread in my house as I cannot resist. I craved things spIcy, so refried beans with a little taco sauce or salsa was great. My husband cured his cravings with broth. I needed more substantial things like yogurt and cottage cheese. It is well over two years since we were sleeved, and his loss has been much more than mine. He refuses to eat any carbs. Good luck!!! -

JamieLogical replied to Johndoe's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
any kind of seasoning is allowed as long as your stomach can tolerate it. I had no issues with spices almost immediately post-op. Others do experience some sensitivity, so make sure you go easy on the spices until you are sure they don't disagree with you. Also, I would advise against mashed potatoes. There's no protein in potatoes. You should instead eat things like cottage cheese, eggs, refried beans, and yogurt. Those are all high protein foods and getting in your protein as you are healing is critical. -

Mashed Potatoes Made Out Of Caiuliflower
Pebbagirl replied to Nevara's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've never eaten cauliflower either but this DOES sound worth a try. I think I'll try steaming it in chicken broth and then adding some S&P and Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is a great substitute for sour cream and adds protein. Thanks for this idea! -
Fruit has lots of carbs and lean cuisines have lots of sodium. . . maybe try skipping the fruits and lean cuisines. . .I didn't have to do a pre op diet, but my post op diet wasn't any better then the preop. . . you could try this if you want breakfast: 4 oz dannon light N fit yogurt (60 calories) Lunch : chicken broth (no sodium, no MSG) or beef broth Dinner: 1/4 c tuna or salmon with No Fat Mayo, 1/2 c extra lean hamburger meat, or extra lean ground turkey or 1 egg with 1 slice of no fat cheese . . In between the meals you can have popsicles sugar free of course, lots of Water with crystal light flavor, sugar free Jello. . . or you can incorporate these with meals. . . but drink alot of water. . . and keep on exercising. . . good luck

Am I too tight? Or give it time?
travelinsnorkel posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got filled on Friday and I've done 48 hours of liquids. It took me a long time to get my protein shake down this morning, but it was ok. Tried introducing some mushies today. Didn't go so well. I had five small bites of greek yogurt. All of the sudden, major slime, chest pain, then threw up the yogurt. Should I give it some time? Or get unfilled a little. Am definitely going to call the surgeon tomorrow, but thought I'd see if this is normal after a fill with good restriction. -

skyjoe replied to travelinsnorkel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
what size band do you have, and how many cc do you have in it? I think you need a slight unfill, I giving you advice and I need to listen to it myself. I had fill dec 13th and am sooooo tight from dec 13 to dec 29 I lost 15 pounds. where can I but greek yogurt and what's your favorite flavor? I see a lot of peopk talking about on here I just have never seen it in the store -
What a great attitude! You are doing great. The only thing is check the protein on your yogurt. You are interested in protein per calorie as well as just calories. I know chobani has great protein numbers (not as good as cottage cheese though)! I have the plain fat-free chobani with some sugar-free flavoring or a half teaspoon of jam for flavoring.

sandielaw replied to travelinsnorkel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, it sounds like you're too tight. Yogurt should go down without feeling "stuck." You might not be able to eat much at a time, but it shouldn't get stuck. -
all solid meals. nothing spicy just eggs and yogurt

How much do you eat?
PackersFan replied to mandyMO's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Luv, I think it's hard to answer this question because it really depends on how much fill you get, and how much resulting restriction you have. I don't claim to be an expert, but my experience after four fills has been that each time I can eat less at each meal. I'm not at my sweet spot yet though. I think I probably need maybe one more fill. I'm currently at 7.8cc in an 11cc band. But I still can eat probably 3/4 to 1 cup per meal (lunch and dinner) but I can only eat oatmeal or yogurt for breakfast. So I think I'm able to eat too much at each meal, and I do get hungry between meals from time to time. -
I'm curious if you come out of surgery hungry?
LipstickLady replied to MaddieJ's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can't do it! It will not go down. I am going back to a Protein drink for Breakfast and I'm choking down a Greek yogurt now. It's not by choice, trust me. -
Tomorrow is the big day. I have been on my liquid diet for four days. Today has been the easiet day so far. I am actually pretty lucky because I can have yogurt/apple sauce/pudding. all of them have to be sugar free or fat free. It has not been so bad. The first day was the worse. I knew it was bad when I was sitting my pantry contemplating sucking on a cracker. Anyways, my surgery is tomorrow at 2:45 p.m. Starting to feel the butterflies.....so everyone say a little prayer or cross your fingers that everything goes okay!!!:thumbup:

Finicky eater ... am I missing anything?
jingleboob replied to al0vely's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You're good. Don't go crazy. I still have cans of soup from post op and boxes of sugarfree Jello and pudding I never used. The first few days it was a struggle to get 2 Protein shakes and a bottle of Water in during the day. My doc allowed full liquids for 2 weeks after which included yogurts and pudding and jello, and the day after surgery I ate a total of 1/2 of a pudding cup and couldn't bear any more. If you have to crush pills then mix them in the smallest amount of applesauce you can because you have to eat it all. I got pretty good at mixing my pills into about 1 tablespoon of applesauce... it's so nasty but the less the better. During the liquids phase 1 can of cream of potato soup literally would last me 2 days. And if you've run out of anything you can go to the store... an outing will do you good. But you'll be eating a lot less than you think during that first week. It was about 5 or 6 days before I could really drink, now I can drink all I want with no issue. You're plenty prepared. Best of luck with your surgery!!! -
I had my surgery 9/2/10. Did great, I have lost 28 lbs. I have had 2 fills. Went couple weeks ago to get another and Dr. wouldn't do it. He said he didn't think I couldn't tolerate it and I had lost only 2 lbs. I did have trouble after the 2nd fill with things getting stuck. Had to really slow down and chew very well. Any way I have started to exercise a little. He wants me to exercise 45 min. 5 days a week. I am only eating my 1 cup. My tipical day - protein drink, yogurt, soup, cheese, chicken. Can someone give me some ideas on what I should do to get this moving again. Needing help/ideas. Thanks

Gosh, glad to see somebosy else is wondering the same thing as me. I despise my BAND! Its been a nightmare! Mine has nothing to do with not loosing weight- it has everything to do with being UNABLE to swallow food, eat majority(varieties) of any foods, going between 3-4 days to eat, and when I do eat, its crap food--only foods that I can easily swallow like gravy, Ice cream, yogurt, teas get STUCK......veggies or fruits-I dont even attempt any longer to eat those foods.....I am so DESPERATE, I too wonder how much it would be to get band removed being a self payee!
