I just realized a few minutes ago that I actually had the post-op diet from the doctor already in the informational packet that I got from the initial meeting. Full Liquids on my diet will include everything from clear liquids and the following: any strained/blenderized soup (low-fat bean soups preferable over cream-based soups) 1% or fat free milk fat free pudding (made with 1% or skim milk) Protein supplements cooked cereal-blended oatmeal, cream of wheat (made with 1% or skim milk) fat free, sugar free yogurt 1% or fat free cottage cheese blended egg beaters (real eggs are on the soft/mushy stage) Too bad I don't have the pre-op diet list...

This is what I had after my workout tonight : -vanilla Protein powder -ff coconut Greek yogurt -light chocolate soy milk -a few ice cubes I like it better with dark chocolate almond milk, but that has a lot more calories. This is my fab way to drink vanilla Protein Powder. I also like vanilla protein powder with frozen fruit...strawberries, bananas, blueberries, peaches...whatever. And a ff Greek yogurt (any flavor or even plain). And some kale thrown in for additional protein and Fiber.

So how many have had their surgery so far this month?
voiceomt2002 replied to WorkingMom's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I didn't have it this time, but last time I had "metal mouth" and a coating. It was the result of the anesthesia. It did go away. Also, eat yogurt Glenda. It helps. I found out all that belly noise I've been having is perfectly normal! LOL! Good to know, because my tummy was more talkative than my ADHD daughter. (Something I thought impossible. The girl's tongue is hinged in the middle so both sides can flap.) Lena -
Its been a pretty rough ride but I will give a quick rundown on the turn of events.(note that I am feeling much better now) Days 1 - 5: I was unable to take down more than 8 oz of fluids per day. Had to even be put on a feeding tube to try to force some down. I was extremely tight(inflamed). During this time whatever I consumed would come out in my sleep. Another issue I had was hypersalivation which prevented me from sleeping at all and extreme dehydration. Day 6: At this point band rejection had me very scared but all of the sudden in the mid after noon of day 6 it felt like a bathtub cork was pulled in my stomach and all of my fluids drained into the intestines. So what I am thinking is the anesthesia still partly had my stomach shut down where it would not pump the contents of my stomach into my intestines. Magically my stomach started working with fluids and my inflammation around the band started going down dramatically. A few hours later my stomach started to get really tight as I was heading to town. Again I started thinking "great now it'll quit working" but after I made it over the mountain pass 8,600ft or so the tension eased. Interesting thing is when this happened I was starving! So I had my first bit of solid food(jello). Since that point I've been working broth and yogurt. I've had my ups and downs but I feel 100 times better than I did the first few days. The only issue I've really had sense was I am having issues with night coughing. Overall its been a 1 day at a time recovery. I've lost more weight than I wanted to just short of time out of post op but I'll live.

Why am I so tired when I wake up in the morning?
mattie7632 replied to Bandrea2011's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
residual anesthesia and general toll on the body from surgery. Plus caloric changes. This will pass. Make sure you have your Protein shakes/greek yogurt and Vitamins as soon as you are allowed -
Yes, starting today. I can have protein shakes x4, yogurt, raw veggies, 3 oz chix, fish or egg white and oatmeal. What about you?

I used to hate oatmeal. Like...sincerely, truly hate it. From it's slimy dischargey goo, to it's bug-like bits....oatmeal just sucked. I wouldn't touch it. Today, I love oatmeal. I'm not just saying that. I'm eating it right now for lunch. Steel cut oats with a little splenda, a few chopped dried cherries, almonds and pecans. often, I have it with fresh fruit. Bananas, strawberries, blueberries, peaches, apples....it all works. I would rather eat this than most things in the world....and that baffles me. I thin it with a little premiere protein and have a yogurt chaser. Can easily upgrade it to a 20g protein meal this way. Yep, it's carb heavy. But they're low glycemic carbs that don't cause spikes and it boasts lots of fiber to support good gut bugs. And I love it. Did I mention I love it? Who knew I'd be an oatmeal eating fool? Yay Oatmeal! LOL

@@Annek2014 I would suggest that you could enlist the help of the other adult in your family in grilling some lean meats and vegetables! You could even do kebabs. Skinnytaste.com has a lot of really good kebab ideas but I'm sure you can come up with your own combination! Then for dessert, do some fruit or watermelon. ( These look fun!: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/03/rainbow-fruit-skewers-with-yogurt-fruit.html ) Maybe a tossed salad and you've got the makings of a fun and healthy 4th! Good luck! Hope you heal soon from your surgery!

I am 2.5 years post op and have had hunger ups and downs and so I have some suggestions I hope you will try. #1 take a good PPI! You may not think you have reflux but acid feels like hunger and many surgeons prescribe PPIs for everyone those first 3 months since it takes time for the tummy to produce less...smaller stomach needs less. #2 Quest bars are like candy with Protein. I love em and can't keep them in the house. They are not filling and really are sliders for me. Don't eat slider type food...it is not satisfying and can trigger over eating. #3 eat dense Proteins first! In the early months I was advised to eat 5 mini meals a day, always starting with dense proteins. If room, veggies. So a snack mini meal might be a Greek yogurt or a bit of sandwich meat or beef Jerky or a bit of roast chicken. (I eat less often now, but it worked well at your stage...ask your NUT for a plan) #4 eat until no longer hungry. FULL is not the goal. It takes awhile to reset the brain on this one but over time this will payoff big time. #5 stay hydrated. Follow the rules about not drinking near mealtimes but load up when you can. Thirst feels like hunger.

I did pretty good with my food yesterday. I turned down some homemade peanut butter cookies, I felt so empowered when I did. It felt good just to say "no thank you". I walked away from the cookies with a huge smile on my face! Todays focus - drink water, lots of it. I am not getting enough water in and I think that is causing some bloating problems. So, today, I will focus on WATER. Menu today Breakfast coffee w/cream mid morning water at least 8 oz 15 minutes after my water yogurt w/granola (SF yogurt) lunch salad w/cheese & chicken Dinner grilled fish veggies suppliments - quickslim 30, flinstones Exercise -

My menu: 4 oz of yogurt with 2 tbls granola lunch 4 oz of yogurt with granola snack 1/2 green apple with 1 tbls penut butter dinner 3 oz chicken breast rice - about 1/2 cup Then 1 slice of plain cheesecake - no, it wasn't sugar free Exercise - 20 min of HIIT on the elliptical machine, burned 200 calories, 1.7 miles All in all, I did pretty good besides the cheesecake. What happened here, let me explain myself, I had a single friend of ours over for dinner because I made too much food. (I always think about the single men since they don't have a wife at home cooking for them), anyhow, he felt obligated to bring a dessert - even though I told him not to, he still brought a cheesecake factory cheesecake. So, I felt obligated to have a slice. I should have just eaten 1/2 slice - but no, I ate the whole darned slice. Anyhow, after eating the cheesecake, I headed to the gym and worked off 200 calories. Scale in the am stated I weighed 183 - arggg, sucks~ I will see the number go down, I will, I will. I'm determined! I'm not giving up, I must see the 160 again, soon! I have 100 days or so left until my cruise, I refuse to go weighing what I do now. I want to look halfway decent in my bathing suit you know. Well, I will start checking in more on my journal and updating my menu. This seems to keep me on track better.

9 FREAKEN pounds and I will be at a healthy weight! 9 freaken pounds - and it is taking me FOREVER to lose them. Its the hardest 9 pounds I have ever tried to lose. Did you guys hear me, 9 FREAKEN POUNDS and I will be at a healthy weight. It feels like a dream to even type those words. I never thought I would be this close to being healthy. Oh, I dreamt it, but its really coming true. I sometimes focus on how long it is taking me, but if I really stop and think about it. Its taken me less time to lose it then it did to put it on. It took me 20 years to get up to 248 lbs, so I shouldn't be so upset at taking 2+ years to reach my goal weight with the band, right? I was thinking this morning as I glanced at one of my pictures on my desk with my kids, and made me think how far I've come. To know I will never ever ever be 248 lbs again, thats something to be happy about. So, I'm trying to stay positive, and focus on the weight I've lost and not the weight I need to lose. Speaking of my picture, my new boss was over at my desk the other day and he asked me if that was my sister, I told him it was me. His jaw dropped down to the floor, he tried not to act so shocked, but I could see it in his face. I said "well, I've lost a few pounds since then" His reply "you think?". lol. I love to see peoples reaction when they see the new me. Its the best reward of all. Plan today: Exercise - 10:00 am - 6 min on recumbant bike - 15 min on elliptical 3:00 pm - 20 min on elliptical 6:00 - dinner with some old high school buddies, planning our 25 year reunion - 9:30 - Gym - 40 min on elliptical and upper body training 11:30 - BED Menu Breakfast - yogurt mixed with granola - 5 pts Lunch Fish Taco (Wheat tortilia, WW cheese, Talapia, Cilantro, salsa, fresh squeezed lime) = 4 pts Snack - 1 orange, string cheese - 2 pts Dinner 1 chicken taco - 5 pts beans - 3 pts Few chips and salsa (6 chips only = 1.5 pts) 20 pts total Wt - 7:30 am naked - 164.6 (up .3 from yesterday)

New Month, and new goals! This month, I WILL get back to the gym, not tomorrow, but TODAY. I have got to get back to exercising!!!!! On a good note, we had our District Convention (religion) this weekend - three day, and I ate great! I packed my lunch everyday and had hummus and carrot sticks, very filling. I would also throw in a yogurt or piece of fruit. Dinner consited of grilled, or smoked chicken. yum. When I left (Thursday I was at 159, this morning I am at 161). But my body bounces around until it decides what weight it wants to stay at. Also, traveling always makes me hold more fluid. I am upping my water today, and we'll see how tonights weigh in at weight watchers goes. I can't believe I'm getting so close to goal!!!!

I took my before pics last night, so I can compare my pics every 4 weeks and compare my changes. I brought my workout clothes with me to work, so I can workout during lunch, there is NO EXCUSES.

Well, my restriction is staying pretty good. I have loose days, and I have tighter days. It even changes from meal to meal. Some mornings, I just stick with oatmeal, this morning, I woke up starving, so had to eggs over medium and 2 slices of bacon. Normally, I would only eat 1 egg. Last night I noticed I was hungry and very lose around 7pm, but then around 9, got very tight again. Strange. But its something I've learned to accept and deal with. Eating has been going great, sticking with my proteins first, exercise, not so good. I know what I need to do, so just need to quit making excuses and DO IT! As Nike says "Just Do It". Menu today: Bfast 2 eggs, 2 slices of bacon Lunch: baked chicken - 3 oz few carrot sticks Snack: yogurt Dinner fish - baked green beans

Soups 2 wks post op
mylighthouse replied to nruetze10's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I was on full liquids, I could not have lentil soup. In fact, all Soups had to be strained, making sure that I didn't have any pieces of food in it. Lentils would be way to hard on your stomach right now. You have to protect your stomach, so please make sure that you are doing full liquids only. Cream soups, broth, yogurt, sugar free pudding, sugar free Jello were all considered acceptable on my full liquids phase. -
post op diet
Ft.Worth Frank replied to Ft.Worth Frank's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you for both of your answers. I might try a little bit of yogurt to see how my stomach feels. I liked protein drinks up until the day before surgery now looking at one makes me feel ill. -
what whey protein powder do you like best and where can I get it?
kristlynngirl replied to wkjulius's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I always keep vanilla on standby because I can make it whatever I want. Usually blend it with a combo of plain Greek yogurt, skim milk and frozen fruit. Ends up like a milkshake consistency. And like 30g protein! -
