My surgery was Tuesday. At my sis in law till yesterday morning and home yesterday. I feel really good. Still very tired and am feeling some gas pressure this morning around my chest. I guess that's what it is. Protein shakes, water, hot tea this morning. Lots of water. Crush some of my pills and mix with yogurt. So far my body is tolerating everything really well. I'm definitely not pushing it. Slow and easy. I'm really surprised at how good I feel.

Thank you so much. My dietician said it is ok to be on soft/pureed foods 3-4 days after surgery. I had a scrambled egg and yogurt for breakfast and couldn't eat the entire egg or entire pack of yogurt and I was already full. I was amazed but happy that I listened to my body and stopped eating. I want to avoid getting sick at all costs!

Post Op Questions

I actually started doing slimfast the day I came home from the hospital - along with yogurt. My doc said it was fine. I came up with my slim-fast-accino recipe on day 2! I'm still having them because they are my replacement for icecream! Just like a Frappuccino! Lise The Loser’s Weblog -

You can also try mixing the powder with applesauce, pudding or yogurt. -
Thanks everyone....Renee, I too am a Dr Aceves patient and am only allowed the 2 oz, I know I couldn't even do 1 oz of yogurt yet.. I am okay w/this, it's just different than my band and was unexpected. With my band, I had no issues w/yogurt or even cottage cheese at this point. I can now see why people lose so quickly..I am now down 22lbs in 16 days. I am still so tremendously happy to have that band out of me, I think I can handle almost anything. I just need to get some more Protein shakes..I have been living off the Premeire Protein RTD from costco and Special K Protein H20. I appreciate all of you!!! Erika

Hey everyone- I had my band to sleeve revision on May 30th..I've lost 20lbs and am feeling great. Today, being Day15, I am allowed yogurt, SF pudding, etc... I bought some greek yogurt and took a couple of VERY small bites of it and it had a hard time going down. I could feel it sitting there and it took several minutes to go down and was mildly uncomfortable. I gave up and went back to my protein shake. Like everyone else, I want to know if this is normal?? Should I just stick w/the shakes until it's easier, or just very, very slowly eat the yogurt? It was a 4 oz container and would probably take me at least an hour to eat..

Milk is a good thinner too. If the yogurt and other thick things hurt then don't do them yet! Listen to your body. It wont hurt to let the swelling go down some more before you try the thicker things- and meanwhile milk will both thin yogurt, pudding, and even cream Soups and add Protein.

Grocery Store Melt Down..
JD7176 replied to jhbk2008's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel your pain, but I can offer you some consolation. Nothing that I have tried tasted the same or very good, except one thing. I had a serious addiction to cheez its. I decided to buy some reduced fat kind. Ehhh....lol. I'm kinda mad I have a whole box. A serving is 29 crackers and it takes me all day to finish them. Today an ex came to visit said he was going to Buffalo Wild Wings and asked did I want anything. I asked for 6 naked tenders, sauce on the side. I didn't eat with him because I had eaten about an hour earlier. I finally open the box, after he left and there were FRIES in the box with the tenders. WHAT THE... I tasted one....nope. it didn't do it for me anymore. The only "treat" I enjoy are the yogurt pops by popsicle. I have/had a serious love affair with ice cream. They have calmed the beast for 90 calories. I still go to the ice cream section and gaze, survey the new flavors, reminisce... I can't bring myself to buy it though, too much going for me. -
Making a Shopping List for US Visit
Bufflehead replied to MadameX's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Personally I would get some protein powder in addition to Genepro, if you can't find what you need in Sweden. I don't trust that stuff, it seems very shady to me. Also, I am not sure you can buy Genepro in brick and mortar stores, it may be only online. Cream of Wheat -- do you really want this? It's empty carbs. Why not stick with eating high protein foods? Chewable vitamins -- if your husband is near a Trader Joe's, their chewable High Potency multi-vitamins are great and very inexpensive! Any chewable calcium should be calcium citrate. Viactiv is calcium carbonate, which most bariatric surgeons say should be avoided as post-sleeve patients don't absorb it well. You may also want to look into liquid calcium citrate, which may be easier to find. I think Wellesse brand liquid calcium citrate is available at GNC, Kroger, Walmart, and some other stores. Do you like peanut butter? If so, maybe have your husband pick up some PB2 if you can't get it in Sweden. It's good to mix into shakes, yogurt, and cottage cheese for some extra flavor, protein, and fiber. Can you get sugar free fiber powder in Sweden? If not, that might be something to consider having him get as well. Good luck! I am sure you will do great. -
@Monikareigh - You are about where I was 13 months ago. At the end of March/beginning of April 2016, I was 271.5 and 5'3". Today, I'm 190 and headed to 150. I feel like a new person. I'm going to offer some tips from my journey: Protein - is what is going to keep you from getting hungry. Try to eat 90-100 grams of protein a day. Carbs - limit your carbs, but don't cut them completely. While you are "waiting" for your appointment, do something like Atkins. I start each day with a protein shake - 1 cup coconut milk, 1 scoop protein powder and about 1 cup of frozen fruit. Throw it in the blender. Its under 200 calories about 25 grams of protein and keeps me full til lunch. Oikos Triple Zero yogurt is a life saver -- about 120 calories in a cup and 15 grams of protein. If you do have pasta - use the Barilla high protein pasta - it's in the yellow box and tastes really good. And start moving -- walk for 1/2 hour a day (around the block, at the mall, at a gym) - and track all your food. I like My Fitness Pal, but there are plenty of other trackers out there. You've got this girl. Best of Luck!

Congrats on your weight loss you are doing great. From what I hear weight loss for dummies has all kinds of great recipes for every stage. I mostly stuck with creamed soups and Greek yogurt... But will say at this stage soup was my friend.. And still is.

Not sure, I mean my caloric intake is severely reduced from even the pre-op diet and I am getting in the amount of Protein the doctor specified. So far today I have had 100cal yogurt, 180cal Protein shake and 100cal cream of mushroom Soup with only dinner left in the day and more protein. I've had 36g of protein so far today. I might get to 600 calories today. I am sure it is a little bit of everything, our bodies have been though a trauma and now we aren't feeding it like it was used to being fed.

BAHAHAHA! I am so silly! How is everyone? I know I've been quiet on here lately but I've been so busy at both jobs. When I get home I just want to work out and sleep! Confession time..... I don't like needles and yet I pick the surgery that requires needles. LOL Anyway yesterday I had my first fill and it was not bad at all. I didn't look just relaxed. I forgot there isn't alot of protein in full liquids.... So I brought some tomato soup and added a 1/2 of serving of plain greek yorgurt. For dinner me and Fun Boy had a greek yogurt. Beleive or not this keep fill until 830 this morning. Anyway I finally found my port on my own! It is funny how the little things bring me enjoy! God is good Thanks for reading.

Maggie, it will be 3 shakes and 2C of yogurt (which is an improvement from what the NUT said LOL) and all the clear SF liquids I can handle....

As it turns out, I have a pretty bad case of dumping syndrome. And I'm not entirely sure what causes it and how to manage it as it had started up rather suddenly. I wasn't sure it was dumping syndrome but I have confirmed it with my surgeon that it is. After I eat I become severely nauseated for about an hour, 30 minutes if I take zofran. It's so bad all I can do is lay there and groan. I can't talk or walk. It seems to be set off by anything sweet- ice cream, evens glass of milk, yogurt, etc. It also seems to happen at other times- just after any meal. I'm not sure what's triggering it. Can dumping be triggered by portion size alone? What foods trigger your dumping if you have it? What can be done to help with the symptoms? How do I avoid this from happening? Any advice appreciated. It's pretty awful.

I started some soft foods about day 11 instead of day 14. I've had ground turkey, canned chicken and tuna. As well as continuing my protein drinks and some chobani yogurt. Tonite I had a full meal for dinner. Some canned chicken, a small bit of yams, sppon of peas, 1/4 cup of cottage cheese and 1/4 of avocado. My daughter got me some small plates for Mothers Day. So it looks like lots of food. I wasn't able to finish my chicken tonite, I'm kind of tired of it I think. I also didnt have a protein drink this morning. I scrambled me an egg with Velveta cheese in it. I'm tired of the protein drinks. My daily protein has ranged from 41-72. I don't know when I will reach 80-90g of protein the dr recommended. I will try to get a protein drink down before bed.

I'm confuse!! Prenatal Vitamins, DHA, EPA
CaliGirl626 posted a topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
Hello Ladies, First of all, I'm not sure if I'm pregnant. My period is about a week late. I took 5 Pregnancy tests (can you tell I'm one of those people who is a pain in the butt? :biggrin: ) 3 of the digital one showed "Pregnant" and 2 of them were the blue line type, it the plus wasn't that clear to see. Prior to this, I've been taking the chewable Flintstones Complete. Once I did the P-test and I realized i might be preggo, I started taking Prenatal Vitamins. I crush the prenatal pill and just add the powder to yogurt. My problem is the Fishoil softgel. That thing is Ginormous! For the pass two days, I have poke a hole into the softgel, squeeze out the oil and mix it with food. The stinks so bad I could barely keep my food down . My questions to you ladies, are you taking those softgel fishoil? What are my alternative to taking this disgusting thing that is suppose to be good for me? Is there any other brand of Prenatal vitamins I should look into? And where can I find them? Also, have anyone tried the Hershey's Goodnight Hugs and Kisses Hot cocoa? I heard they are good and 99.9% Caffeine free. Thank you so much everyone~! I will keep you update on my "maybe" status once it turns into "confirmed". -
I used heavy cream to thin out the greek yogurt. While it has more Protein in it, it's very thick and just kinda sat there in my tummy. meh...didn't feel great at all. The heavy cream gave it a nice creamy texture. Milk is something that I can't have because it bothers my tummy A LOT, but the fat in heavy cream kind of "buffers" it in the tummy and it was fine. I also wouldn't try to eat 4 ounces yet...if ever. I'm allowed 2 ounces but that's after healing, not while I'm swollen still. I can tell you this, after a few bites, I'm done. I can't eat any more and I can't sit there for an hour and wait for it to go down. I put it away until my next meal.

Grocery Store Melt Down..
ShannonK replied to jhbk2008's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My first trip to the store hurt my checkbook! I was shopping for "soft foods" and bought crab. lobster bisque, gournet cheeses, 3 types of fish, Fage yogurt..... it was insane! Keep in my mind, I still cook for a family of five...and 3 and half weeks later, I STILL have foods from that trip!! I didn't "mourn" - I was excited to see all the wonderful stuff I COULD eat -
In the realm of bariatric surgery, Cream of Wheat is considered a slider, a.k.a. slurry food. Slurry foods 'slide' into our sleeves before rapidly entering our intestines. They do not stay in our stomachs long enough to challenge the sleeve or provide a sense of fullness or satiety. Hence, you will never feel full eating Cream of Wheat. You will not feel full until you start eating solids such as meats, eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, non-starchy veggies, and other foods that will challenge your sleeve. Good luck to you.

Well, glad to hear you are doing so well. In terms of Protein there are other ways to get it besides meat. Try Beans, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, Protein shakes. When you do try meats, make sure they are really moist and chew well. Take small bites. For me fish and chicken were the two meat items that worked the easiest but I had to cook them just to done and not over cook. Lastly its good that you cannot eat rice, Pasta or bread. They will actually stall you. You should be staying away from those items at least until you hit goal and then introduce them back slowly and minimally. For your carbs you should be focuse on veggies and a small amount of fruit.

im in the puree phase post op of gastric sleeve and the last two days ive been very concerned about what i eat and how i eat it. i eat every 1-2 hours or else i get SO HUNGRY. as well as i take big bites not small and i finish my meal in less than 30 minutes??? heres an example of what i had today breakfast: frozen mango blended with lactose free milk which turned into icecream! (after two hours) snack: apple juice (after 3 hours) lunch: tuna blended with 3 spoons of greek yogurt and a tomato (after an hour) snack: jello but a big amount (after 30 mins) dinner: left over tuna with a big plate of beans. i wasnt even full after all that and i dont know what’s happening to me and caused me a mental breakdown, im afraid i ruined every pound ive lost the past 2 weeks and im panicking. thats just the beginning and im nearly starting a binging phase which terrifies me knowing it’ll get worse!!!!!!! i thought id be done with my eating disorder after i do the surgery but its still the same old depressing life....

Eating on the road/airports
Savagegirl replied to Savagegirl's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Thank you! I forgot about those egg bites at Starbucks. At the Oakland airport now and just grabbed a Dannon Light and Fit yogurt and a cheese stick. Ho hum. -
Good point about sodium. I went from shakes and yogurt to beans and cheese in the purée stage, that might be it, thank you!

I tried some protien powder..
VSG4aHealthierMe replied to VSG4aHealthierMe's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I'm pre-op and just kinda taking a test run of things (protien shot, gatorage Protein drinks, the shakes and greek yogurt). It took me awhile to finish the shake and I was very full when I was done... I can't even imagine how you post-op ppl do it . I *thought* protein shots where gonna be the way to go but the one I got tasted h-o-r-r-i-b-l-e!! So, I have another question... if its normal for the shakes to fill you up like that how on earth do you have room to EAT anything post-op?? I have my entire stomach still and after drinking that the mere thought of eating made me wanna purge! How on earth do you get the rest of you nutrition in the rest of the day???? I am serious I was so full I considered drinking a couple of those a couple times a day from now till my sleeve to help me lose some of the weight (tbh I even though about it as an "instead of" idea, but I know it wouldn't last forever, eventually I would want real food and gain it all back) but I don't know how healthy that would be and I also don't want to lose so much that they won't do my surgery (like I said, I know it will come back w/o surgery) so If it was THAT potent for a non-sleeved stomach how on earth do you sleevers manage????
