:thumbup:, Today was such a challenge, i started out with a bowl a cereal, and i havent been able to eat anythiung else. It is so hard when you have to cook for the kids and the food smells soooo good and you can only imagine what it tastes like because nothing will stay down. I'm actually eating a yogurt because its smooth and will slide right down, this is a bad day for me. i can have some good days where i'm able to eat my portions, but other day i really cant keep nothing down. :tt1:

Need Some Good advice
HeatherO replied to KRVAUGHAN20's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It sounds like diet may be a part of the problem. Right now you probably don't have much if any restriction. Fish and yogurt are fine. Chicken is good for protein but you want to stay away from fried food with breading. Yogurt is very good for you if it is not a sugar laden variety. Most of the items listed are heavy in carbs. Typically our diets involve proteins first (lean proteins without a lot of fat), vegetables second, and if there is any additional room left high quality carbs such as whole grains are eaten. This kind of diet leads to success for most bandsters and also is a healthy enough diet to provide necessary vitamins and nutrients. One problem with eating a diet heavy in carbs/fats/sugar is that it does cause you to continue craving it all the time. Your blood sugar levels have a fast high quickly followed by a severe drop causing intense cravings for more. The best way to move away from these cravings is to give yourself at least one solid week avoiding all carbs/sugar. After a week, cravings start to diminish and will continue to do so over time. The band will help diminish the amount of food that a person can eat once they hit their sweet spot. However, the quality of food makes all the difference in making significant progress towards goals. Dietary changes are a necessary part of the banding experience. Good luck to you. -
Many questions...need answers :)
Cocoabean replied to JennyGrace's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Welcome! There is a pregnancy forum here at LBT. I believe most women get their bands unfilled while preggers to allow for more nutrition. Sometimes bands need to be replaced. You can search pubmed for studies on it. It is an implanted device, and something to be considered. Tell your surgeon you have worked with nutritionists in the past. I only had to do one consultation to be sure I understood how I should eat post-banding. As she is in my surgeon's office, it was part of an insurance-covered office visit with my surgeon. How much you will be able to eat will depend on your restriction level. I am in maintenance mode now. I eat about 1500-1700 calories a day. A meal for me is about 3 oz of solid Protein, 1/2 cup of veggies, and some starch. I do not eat low-carb. I still eat all the foods I used to with the exception of very soft doughy breads (they get stuck) and white meat chicken (also gets stuck). I still have my junk food treats. Just not as often, and not as much. If I cannot eat solid protein, my surgeon wants me to come in for an unfill. It is unacceptable to him for me to rely on Protein shakes and "slider" foods--foods that slide right on through the band. Those are foods like Soups, yogurt, and highly processed junk like chips, Cookies, ice cream, etc. Advice for the early stages...don't get caught up in Last Supper Syndrome. you WILL eat your favorites again. There is no need to gorge yourself on food like you will never eat it again. My diet is pretty "normal" now. Except when my stomach is irritated from a bad stuck episode, most people watching me would not know that I've had weight loss surgery. Don't stock up on boodles of protein shakes until you know that your surgeon wants you on them long-term. I bought a bunch of the stuff after reading on here how many people continue to use them after banding only to find out that my surgeon doesn't want me using them. He wants me eating my calories. I was only allowed them during the full liquid phase of post-op. This forum is a great place for support. My surgeon has support groups, but his are too late in the evening for me to attend as I start work early in the morning. I hang out here a lot and credit it with with my continued success. It helps me keep my head in the game. In real life I only know one other banded person. It's great to come here and be able to connect with peeps who "get it!" -
No Seminar - Vitamins - Ocean/Swim - 9 days post: HELP
GassyGurl replied to AlabamaSleeve's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
We were told no swimming for 2 weeks. My incisions are totally closed by day 10 (with 1 exception). My plan was always to use 3m waterproof bandaids if I wanted to swim earlier. I have no pain either and feel great. We start vitamins at 2 weeks. I'm using store brand Flintstones complete for now, but they are sort of gross. I wonder if name brand tastes better? I have the calcium, but I drink a lot of milk and yogurt, so I'm not sure if I will actually take it. Sent from my XT1254 using BariatricPal mobile app -
Finally updating 6 days post op because the first few days home from the hospital I was extremely tired and all I basically did was sleep in between sipping liquids and my Protein shakes. Surprisingly, I wasn't even nervous going into the surgery. The only thing I was nervous about, was the possibility of my nose piercings closing lol, luckily they didn't The overnight stay in the hospital was alright, the staff were fantastic but the bed killed my back so I was very uncomfortable. The hospital volunteer guild gave flowers and a Thanksgiving card created by school children to patients which was really sweet. Happily I was discharged Thanksgiving afternoon, which was great because I was unsure about if my doctor would come in on a holiday. Also, before leaving my doctor gave me a 25oz purple water bottle and a big totebag with their office information on them. Anyways, I'm feeling pretty good now, I hardly have any pain, yesterday I accidentally leaned my bellybutton incision against the bathroom sink while washing my hands and that stung a little but mostly the incisions are starting to itch and the surgical glue is coming off, I was also able to take my regular daily pills since yesterday, Saturday I gagged them up, I haven't been ridiculously freezing yesterday like I was the couple days before which is fantastic because that sucked. I'm able to drink a lot more, not quite 64oz but getting there. My doctor has my new weeks starting each Friday and I can't wait until this Friday (week 2) so I can start having yogurt, applesauce, mashed potatoes and oatmeal instead of just 4 ounces of Protein Shakes 3 times a day, water, diluted juice, and chicken broth. Oh, and even though I've weighed myself, I'm going to wait a few more days to update because I want to be sure all the gas pumped into my abdomen is gone. Patience and following the complete lifestyle change instructions are key to success. HW: 288 SW: 268 CW: ? Sent from my SamsungGalaxy using BariatricPal App

No unless you have additional symptoms. They told me the zero yogurt was the best.

I think the doctors are crazy in thinking we can get by without snacks. The obesity clinic where I get my fills at even recommend a snack. I normally eat breakfast at 6:00 am and then around 9:30 or 10 have a lite snack. Then have lunch around noonish and a late afternoon snack. Dinner is usually 6ish and then I'm fine. I'm not one who has problems with eating before bedtime. The key with this is to have a healthy snack. It might be a lite string cheese or a lite activia yogurt, a handful of dry roasted edamame, or 1/2 serving of 100 cal bag of popcorn. Even with my snacks I'm able to keep my calories between 800-1000 most days.

What's your "splurge"
Jerzygurl replied to obxhousewife's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
SPLURGE ONE: In my magic bullet -- Greek Blends Non Fat Key Lime Yogurt with 1/8 cup of frozen strawberries and a little bit of banana creme Muscle Milk. Yummy! SPLURGE TWO: Jello SF Double chocolate Temptations Mousse with a scoop of chocolate Protein powder and skim milk... YUMMMY! They are both insides the lines but feel like I'm definitely doing something out of bounds! -
Protein/food/enough Calories
Mrs.D replied to TinyMamiOf3kids's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I drink a 30g protein shake first thing in the am, one after lunch, and try for at least 1/2 a shake after dinner...totaling around 75g...as my dr recommends 60-90g. Plus cottage cheese and Greek yogurt are great sources of protein. The shake I drink are from Premiere nutrition I also alternate w Unjury...which gives 20g of Protein in 6 oz. -
Need some opinions!
JerseyGirl68 replied to sarahzamudio1091's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Both Yogurt and Sugar Free Jello/pudding was on my list for "Full Liquids" Are you only supposed to be on clear liquids? If you get a clear idea from your surgeon or Nutritionist what you can have it might open up your options and make it easier to stick with the plan they laid out. I'm also of the opinion that we should stick with what the doctors have instructed. It is confusing and at times frustrating that some progress faster, but none of us have the entire story as to why the doctors instructed another patient to do what they do. You can do it, Good luck! -

I'm Scared of My Pre-Op Diet
Italiancurves replied to Kyrie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok so most doctors recommend 60-90 grams of protein. Your shake had better have at least 30 gr. and you'll be eating alot of yogurt (dannon lite n fit Greek yogurt /x the protein) or you could do one ISOPURE clear liquid protein -40 grams of pro per bottle. It's filling satisfying and you'd have your recommended protein to keep u healthy strong and within your doctors guidelines. U wouldn't even have to do much yogurt if any, if u drink an ISOPURE. Tastes kinda like Gatorade. Available at GNC or online at ISOPURE or GNC. I personally would limit the fruit juice, the calories add up fast unless u do V8. Splash lite which is 1/2 the cals of reg juice. When do u start your pre op diet? I'm halfway thru mine. -
Surgery date! 10/19
lizonaplane replied to Rozzjozz's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Get some protein shakes, broth soups, and other liquids you're permitted to eat/drink for the first week after surgery because you will not be able to lift much and these are heavy to get at the store. I ate a lot of Dannon Light and Fit Greek Yogurt because it is high protein. I ate the flavors that didn't have "fruit bits" in them (vanilla, toasted coconut vanilla, caramel, boston creme, banana...). I also strained Tom Yum and Hot and Sour soups I bought from restaurants nearby and this was amazing, because I didn't care for canned broth at all (yes, I could have made my own broth, but I need more flavor than broth provides). Start walking at least 10-15 minutes a few times a day, even just a slow pace. I was told it helps with recovery. Maybe buy some water flavor packets (stuff like crystal light, although I personally don't like that brand). Make sure it doesn't have caffeine, as some flavors do. We aren't permitted caffeine 2 weeks before to 4 weeks after surgery. Do all your laundry, cleaning, and dishes before your surgery, as this is hard to do right after surgery, as bending is hard. Get all the prescriptions you need. Taking pills after surgery is harder, but can be done. -
Harley Nana recommended these to me - and they could be considered a mushy... those Reeses choc. Peanut Butter eggs. Definately a mushy food. :biggrin1: :biggrin1: hehehe - sorry! :speechles Dont worry, Chriselda, its just another day. The world is what has made this day one of the biggest feasting days on our calender! Try not to center this day around the family's feast - but on spending good time together. The canned soups will bring the salty for you, and try having yogurt for your sweet.

almost dumb question- PUREED foods- HELP ME!
Mag3289 replied to mi75's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I completely understand. I was so excited to get to the pureed stage. But now just thinking about food makes snarl my nose. I'm eating a lot of yogurt, soup, and refried beans. -
@@aclinton16 - Try dipping apples in your PB instead. As for veg I would go for chopped spinach instead of broccoli or green Beans. Spinach has more Iron and Protein and is not as fiborous as broccoli or green beans. Fiborous veg can produce gas and be harder to digest. Your nutritionist should be able to give you a list of recommended foods. I also eat a lot of soft scrambled eggs or finely chopped hard boiled eggs. In my egg salad I use half plain greek yogurt and half mayo or skip the mayo altogether and use a bit of avocado which is a healthier fat.

°Being Moody, is it just me°
rking replied to adcovington87's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Me too!!!! I have felt great till friday. 19 days post op. Now I feel like crap for three days. Lightheaded. Grouchy as hell. Tired of powders. Ugh. Not very hungry. Sick of soup. Sick of yogurt. -
Hi. The nutritionist was with the doctor. I had to see her before the surgery and she gave me a booklet about how to eat before and after the surgery. I'm on soft foods now so I had a scrambled egg and 4 crackers for Breakfast, Taco Bell's pintos & cheese for lunch, banana & Peanut Butter for snack and for dinner I will probably have some chicken & creamed spinach. Tonight I'll either have sugar free/fat free pudding or a frozen yogurt bar. I too have 6 incisions the biggest being right next to my belly button where the port is. You will feel better every day. I can say by the 2nd week I felt really good.

Hi There Hang in there! I went to GNC and purchased the whey Protein powder and when blending added fruits and yogurt to change the consistency and taste. Try it - it's pretty scrumptous. I never had a problem with the Protein shakes - in fact, I still enjoy one once in a while to ensure I maintain my protein level. Good Luck Odette
