Do You Eat Breakfast? What Do You Have?
magtart replied to Alex Brecher's topic in Food and Nutrition
I normally have a Triple Zero Greek Yogurt topped with 2 T. of Bear Naked granola with raisins, cranberries, almonds, and pecans. Prior to surgery I had a fried egg sandwich on whole wheat with a glass of V-8. Or, a soft boiled egg on whole wheat toast. -
What are you guys eating?

I'm 6 days out and am on essentially full liquids: Protein shakes, tomato Soup, broth, smooth yogurt, Water, are my staples. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
6 weeks will fly by, especially with the holidays coming up! My pre op diet is super easy. Three days of Water and yogurt. They say you can do ten days Protein shakes and chicken and salads prior to the three days pre op. Honesty I feel like I do that most days, although lately it's been bad with all the holiday treats, but I'll prob try and mostly stick to that, starting Boxing Day, but definitely starting Jan 1 I'll follow that for the six days before my yogurt diet. I am going to Mexico. Wish there was an option in Canada or the US but with my bmi at 29, I don't even qualify for the few docs that will do the surgery on bmis of 30. And I just can't justify spending triple or quadruple the money if the doc in Mexico is rated just as good if not better. My nerves haven't kicked in too much yet. Sometimes I read a story of someone who's had a bad experience and I wonder if I'm making the right decision, but that quickly disappears. I'm sure closer to and the day of I'll be a wreck. My husband is not coming with me, but my parents will be in San Diego at the same time so thinking they'll drive down the day of surgery just to make sure there's no serious complications. They have company flying into San Diego the next day so they'll only be able to stay one night, but they'll be close by and Trish my coordinator is suppose to be the best and surprisingly I'm not too worried about being alone. That's fantastic! My bmi is around 31 or 32. I only found one clinic here in the state that would work with me. They are going to test me for a hiatal hernia and then if I have it (I'm sure I do from symptoms) my insurance should kick in and pay for the surgery to fix the hernia. While they are in there to repair it I'll pay out of pocket for the sleeve itself. I'm expecting to pay roughly about the same as I would if I went to Mexico. But if I can't do it this way then my plan is to set up a date for mexico. One way or another I'm getting this done! I hear the recovery there is ideal! And with a beach near by it might even be relaxing! That pre op diet isn't bad, and with it being the holidays, it is hard to stick with right now, luckily you can wait till after the 1st and still be within the doctors orders! I'm excited for you! Keep me updated! And feel free to chat with me, I'm sure I'll have questions! It's good that your parents will be there with you atleast, my SO won't be coming with me either. Hes not big on hospitals I've come across so few that have had a bad experience that it's hard to really consider it in your decisions.

I love your user ID.... Imready2015! I am five days post op and feeling great. I am going to work tomorrow! Thought I would have to take off two weeks. My major issue is horrible taste in my mouth and bad breadth.... family complaints. Yesterday I added Greek yogurt, it was a nice change from Protein drinks. Best of luck to everyone and speedy recovery.

That's my surgeons rules. Then one week late i go soft and by 1 26 i should be ready to try more solid food. However in my last if full bariatric liquids is jello, pudding thinned cream of wheat, strained soup and yogurt. The cream of wheat even strAINED seems like pureed to be. Haven't tried the yogurt yet. And straining creamed souolp, i did it once, way too much work i felt. But yesterday i had real chicken broth from crock pot chicken and that was awesome.

Just got my pre-op date and my surgery date! Eeekkk!
Sun Godess replied to revisedtosleeve's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Guys, Glad to hear everybody's surgery went well. I am doing pretty good. Feeling pretty good. I started full liquids today. So I can have creamed Soups, yogurt, decaf coffee, thin grits or cream of wheat, thinned mashed potatoes, and Protein drinks and milk... I'm doing pretty good at not being hungry, and the scale is moving down! I have been able to sleep on my sides now. Last night I had about a 40 minute horrible experience with trapped gas that I needed to burp up, but it seemed like it was stuck like couldn't get past the band? Not sure, but it was like pressure and a bubble in the back of my throat! oh my, I didn't like that! I just kept walking and drank hot peppermint tea. Eventually I was able to burp several times and it relieved it. Other than that, I have been out and feeling pretty good. -
What are you guys eating?
naturegirl replied to jonharo22's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 5 months out and still take things easy. Everyday is different depending on what's going on. At dinner time I usually use a small dessert plate and eat a small piece of chicken, veggies, and if room a starch (usually potatoes or beans). Snacks are often string cheese, mandarin orange, or grapes. Breakfast 1/2-3/4 yogurt or two sausage links. Today I went to lunch with my boss for Mexican food. I ate half of a beef enchilada (removed some of the tortilla), 3 chips, and a few tiny bites of rice. Took me about 30 minutes and I was at capacity. Last week we went for lunch at the Olive Garden. I had a some salad and was full. I ordered the mini spaghetti lunch and brought it home for the kids. I try not to eat fast food too often. A panda bowl from Panda Express can last me a week. Half a taco at Taco Bell fills me up. At McD I eat most of a patty and toss the bun. At a sit down restaurant I split a meal with my husband and still have leftovers to bring home. Bread and I don't get along too well. A couple of crackers are ok, a slice of bread no. But as usual every brand/style affects me differently. I don't drink soda. I miss it, but can do without. I've taken a few sips from my kids juice box when really thirsty and found it too sweet and passed it on. Oj is ok in small amounts and slowly. The important thing is to be patient and listen to your body. Not all foods will be tolerable. -

Any December Sleever's?
tmountains replied to wif3ysince08's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks Liz. I'm already home. Had bad chest pain from gas but walking and blowing in the little tube helped. Stitches a little tender but not to bad. I lost 22 pounds prior to surgery. Shocked the heck out of I though maybe 10 pounds. Still on liquid Sadie for two more weeks, but can add fat free no sugar added pudding and yogurt. Can have some V-8 too. Glad to have some new choice before the mush stage. Spell check I meant Yvette -
Do You Eat Breakfast? What Do You Have?
otillie03103 replied to Alex Brecher's topic in Food and Nutrition
I typically have one of the following: 1. low calorie/sugar greek yogurt 2. low carb toast topped with low fat cottage cheese and sugar free fruit preserves 3. ProtiDiet Cereal and almond milk 4. high Protein waffle or pancake with sugar free syrup and fruit 5. eggs occasionally with salsa and Beans, but the eggs sit heavy for me, so I don't have them often -
What are you guys eating?
BobbyD replied to jonharo22's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery on 11/18 and I am currently eating greek yogurt, tuna salad with eggs and diced pickles, cream of wheat, scrambled eggs mixed with cottage cheese, Jello sugar free pudding, and sugar free cherry flavored jello. One day I was really brave last week. Our school was sponsoring a bbq lunch. I tried small portions of potato salad, Beans and bbq pork. It was too much and the meat wouldn't digest. I was sickly the rest of that afternoon. So, besides that one glitch, it's working nicely. -

JamieLogical replied to jonharo22's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I certainly hope no one is eating Chickfila, Subway, or salad at 15 days post-op! At 15 days post-op I was only allowed Protein shakes, strained cream Soups, and yogurt. When I was allowed legumes and ground meats, I had some Wendy's chili. I managed about 1/4 of a "small" chili back then. I wasn't allowed salad for a looooong time. Raw veggies were a no-no until I want to say around the three month mark? Unfortunately, once I was allowed them, I discovered they caused TERRIBLE burping. Haven't been able to ear raw veggies at all post-op. I'm now going on 16 months post-op and they still cause me to burp uncontrollably. Cooked veggies are fine, but I still don't eat much of them, because I have to put my protein first, of course. If you are looking for some good ideas for things to eat during your puree stage, check out the recipes here: http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2007/08/pureed-foods.html I practically lived off the baked ricotta recipe for my entire pureed stage. -
Any actual stats or research on Genepro protein?
JamieLogical replied to Mrs_O's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I did try a free sample of it that I received and it mixed well with my greek yogurt, so if you are just looking for a taste-free option that mixes well, it seems like a good source of at least 15 grams of protein. In their videos they say it doesn't mix great with straight water (didn't try it myself), but does mix well with any flavored beverage like Gatorade and with hot beverages like coffee or tea. -
6 weeks post-op and still unable to eat solids without vomiting - PLEASE HELP!
hannahsleeved15# replied to hannahsleeved15#'s topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thank you! I understand now. I have always been a 3 times a day, large meal type. Snacking has never been a problem for me. I feel like I'm creating some bad habits by eating yogurt, jello, cottage cheese all of the time. I guess I was interested in this surgery instead of the others because I thought I could still eat many of the same foods, just less. Of course, after I've healed and I'm ready. I'm realizing more and more everyday it's not that simple. It's more of a complete lifestyle change. I'm going to check out the genpro. Does anyone know where you get it? -
Food Addict ready to strangle her husband
tabby_morgan posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm about 3 weeks post op and my family had to make an emergency trip. I packed food that is on my diet (protein, almond milk, lentils, yogurt, soups...). However, my husband and step daughter have not been easy to deal with on this trip. As with all trips, the food is usually from fast food restaurants and continuous boredom snacking occurs. I cannot have either of these things. I LOVE food and that is the problem. I'm staying strong and avoiding any of these foods, but resentment is growing for those that eat this crap around me. I literally just sat in the car while my husband and stepdaughter gorged themselves with burgers and fries. All I could do is just stare out the window at the cars passing by, trying to ignore the smell and sounds of mastication. -
Do You Eat Breakfast? What Do You Have?
bewell replied to Alex Brecher's topic in Food and Nutrition
I have some kind of Protein within one hour of when I get up. 1 egg scrambled or hard boiled egg keeps me full for 3-4 hours (but I've really tired of eggs.) So I mix it up with yogurt or my old standby Syntax fuzzy navel. -
Any Vegetarians/Vegans Here Who Have Had Success?
JenniferP1 replied to Proud2BMe's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Am also vegetarian and ended up with a weight issue by consuming too many bad carbs and too little Protein. Since being sleeved 6 weeks ago, I've completely changed my habits (as we all should) and now focus on getting Proteins in first with fewer carbs and almost no snacking. Current proteins include -- refried Beans, Protein shakes, Soups w/ added Protein powder (unflavored), eggs, yogurt and a little cheese. I'm down 40 lbs since starting the pre-op diet 2 months ago and really happy with that. I just started a Facebook group for vegetarians who have had bariatric surgery that he (or you?) may want to join -- I found very few bariatric resources out there for vegetarians so am hoping this will help us share ideas, recipes, etc: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1646059515642538/ -
I got sleeved on the 15th and I'm struggling with the Water intake as well. Plus the heartburn. I think I start the Vitamins after tomorrow (I have to check my book) I'm worrying about Protein intake too. I was able to start smooshy foods today though, eggs and refried Beans, so I think that will start to help. The shakes were starting to make me sick so the only way I can get them down is by making a smoothie, using the shake instead of milk. Ice, a little fruit, shake, maybe some yogurt and I can tolerate that.

6 weeks post-op and still unable to eat solids without vomiting - PLEASE HELP!
A New KK replied to hannahsleeved15#'s topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am week five with the same problem. I've tried smaller bites, waiting between bites etc. Anything that is remotely dry won't go down or just comes right back up. Yesterday I tried some roast turkey lunch me and puked 3 times. The easiest things to eat are refried Beans, cottage cheese which I hate, ricotta and yogurt. Unfortunately the yogurt doesn't have enough Protein grams. I just read about another protein genpro that has 30 g in a tbp. I put it in sugar free pudding yesterday and you can't taste it or feel the texture. It was amazing. I think I'm going to try it in yogurt next. -

hannahsleeved15# replied to hannahsleeved15#'s topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thanks for your responses. My surgeon has allowed me to have solids (moist meat, cheese, etc.) since my one week check up but I can't keep anything but liquids down and soft foods like yogurt and jello. -
Do You Eat Breakfast? What Do You Have?
rnsamantha replied to Alex Brecher's topic in Food and Nutrition
I always eat breakfast. Generally 4-5 oz triple zero vanilla Greek yogurt with about 1 oz berries on top or a RTD premier protein shake. My surgeon always advocates getting your protein in food forms rather than relying on shakes, but I still do 1 per day since they're convenient and delicious! -
I pretty much did like @@Inner Surfer Girl did and skipped the whole puree stage. For me....puree meant soup, oatmeal, yogurt and other stuff. I could see myself allowing foods like mashed potatoes and knew that it would sabotage my weight loss efforts. I stayed on full liquids (Protein shakes) for 4 weeks instead. My surgeon had a weird schedule leading up to my surgery and he made it known to me well prior to my surgery which he was able to either do my sleeve "really soon".....or delay it a month. I opted for the "really soon as in next week option....please" and it all came together.......and it did so really fast. As a result.....my first follow up appointment was on day 6......and then the next appointment was at 4 weeks once he returned from his travels. He'd not discussed any other way of eating for me other than Protein shakes at the first appointment......and the NUT wouldn't disclose any further schedule other than to "follow the doctor's orders". I'm really glad I did it that way. Enjoy going out with your family. It's a really special time of year and we are all truly blessed if we can spend time with our family. Be glad they want to go out......this will keep you from having to cook or prepare meals for them. I remember wanting nothing.....and I mean NOTHING to do with the kitchen my first 6 weeks or so. Get a bowl of soup....and laugh at yourself stirring it around the bowl the entire meal after eating such a small amount. My surgeon told me on our second visit......"Get used to never finishing another meal again....especially in restaurants".

I'm getting a little nervous here... not going to lie! Band came out on 11/24- I'm just able to pick up my 2 year old in the past couple of days... Christmas and then BAM, surgery. So today begins my 1 week pre-op diet. My surgeon has us on liquids, Protein shakes and small healthy Snacks like greek yogurt or sugar free Jello and 1 modest meal (small portion of protein, very plain, and veggies). So not the worst. At least it allows some wiggle room for having a little Christmas dinner... my FIL's beef wellington is amazing! Had Nutrition class last week, and I stocked up on Vitamins and a new pretty Water bottle (it helps). One of the things they mentioned is how tired you are after bypass... so, how long was everyone out of work? I've got a very easy job, I can literally sit in a recliner for my shift. How long until you were up to doing a load of laundry? Or going shopping? Driving? Sex? Housework?
