You have to eat and drink whether or not you feel like it. I am basically living off of yogurt, tuna, chicken and cheese.

How much can you eat?
toasty replied to sarahbethemails's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@sarahbethemails I didn't see, how far out are you from surgery? @@glitter eyes At 17 months all of that sounds great, but for someone a few weeks out I can't imagine eating that volume of food. Maybe that's just me? I'm 7 weeks out, and I can eat about 1/2 container of yogurt, maybe 1oz of chicken or fish, 1/4 cup of chili, etc. -
Yogurt, Milk - Dr against both for several months
livvsmum replied to HopeandAgony's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That would have been tough for me at that stage. Greet yogurt was a staple of my post-op diet. It helped a great deal in reaching my Protein numbers. I still have it several times a week -
Nervous
IncredibleShrinkingMan replied to jessicamanus23's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did not do liquids, as he didn't ask me to. I lost 20 lbs in the two weeks of pre-op, but I cheated like there was no tomorrow (and if you think about it, that was reality). I had pizza four times, Italian sausage twice, clam chowder once, Belgian fries with all the dippings twice, and fell for Chipotle once. The rest of the time I had high-Fiber Cereal with greek yogurt, or else some extremely lean meat. I was sure to workout like hell while this occurred, because exercising was a lot easier for me than staying under 1000 calories a day (which was the requirement...and by the way, that is still hard now three months out, but I am losing weight just fine). There were no problems with my liver, and I was 286 (44 BMI) at my final pre-op appointment. Instances of cancellation are rare and occur in extreme cases (hundreds of pounds heavier than you or me), so I would take this day to relax and get in the zone...you've done it, and psychologically, you should be on the other side already. Congratulations. -

Yea!!! Your not getting good sleep in the hospital, I was exhausted when I got home. You probably won't want to drink much when you get home either, you just have to make yourself. Have a safe trip home!Thank you, been HOME, been struggling to try to get in everything that I need to drink as far as water goes and protein and the vitamins. I was kind of out of it at the hospital but I remember my surgeon telling me that on my third day which have been a while back now and I haven't done it but he said something along the lines of being able to have sugar free jello sugar free pudding low fat cottage cheese low fat cream soups that have been strained yogurt with no edible fruits in them granted he told me all this when I was in the hospital and under heavy medication at the time still and I'm trying to remember if I heard him right because it doesn't seem like that with anybody else is doing I has bypass and I could have creamed soups, all clear broths teas etc, s/f Popsicles/jello, yogurt no chunks. My post surgery diet was not all liquids. Cream of wheat was even on my list, it just had to be runny. I can tell you I tried yogurt, didn't sit right. So I stick to soup, decaf tea, jello and pops. I will advance my diet hopefully tomorrow after my two week check up. My nutritionist gave me a binder with all my info including sample meals. I would check with your dr or NUT to get more info. It is a lot of information to digest couple with vitamin intake. I do get two protein shakes in mosts days, but I have yet to hit 64oz of fluid combined. -
This diet seems like BS and I am pouting
Ray92 replied to forgetit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@forgetit The rumbling and grumbling is acid. It took me a few days to figure it out but you will find that it will rumble and grumble and eating something will not make it go away and you will feel too full to eat that thing anyway. I find that herbal tea and yogurt really helps with that sensation. Also people on this forum are EXTREMELY helpful, positive and supportive. I wouldn't write this place off so quickly. What you are feeling is natural, heck there are some moments in the day when I feel pretty down about not being able to eat carbs, fried food etc. But this is a choice I made and I am not going to take risks with my health which is why the surgeon's nutrition plan is essential. When I am craving sugar, in my mind I also secretly think the diet is BS but that is just a silent mini tantrum moment. The feeling passes very quickly. We are human, we get emotional and now more than ever you will feel that way. You are melting away hormones that were stored in fat and you also have to in a way, let go of a crutch or comfort if that is what food meant to you. We all have a weakness for food, this is why we are on this forum and this is why we did the surgery. It is natural to feel angry and sad in these early days but let's have a reality check moment here. The surgery is already done, its irreversible and there is no point in getting yourself worked up about it. Instead focus on the positive things. Everyday things get better and soon you will find yourself 6 months down the road and all these feelings will be a distant memory. -
How much can you eat?
glitter eyes replied to sarahbethemails's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My intake depends on what it is. Here are a few examples: Two scrambled eggs One chicken thigh(sometimes can eat a leg too) 4oz of salmon/fish 4oz of steak One Greek yogurt One package of turkey Jerky Two cheese sticks One package/pouch of tuna on a half of low carb wrap One Protein bar Three beef/pork ribs One crab cake Things I can eat a lot of: pretzels (yummy) Popcorn chocolate I try to avoid these most of the time I am 17 months post op and in my maintenance phase. Also, some days I can eat a lot and other days not so much. It all seems to balance out. -

perk4756 replied to forgetit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 5 days post op too and can barely drink a half can of broths day half a yogurt and only one bottle of water. Have added unflavored protein to all. Until today felt like razor blades when hitting my stomach. So myself I would be afraid to stray from the diet -
Yogurt, Milk - Dr against both for several months
ttdish replied to HopeandAgony's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This (but not the yogurt/milk restriction) sounds very similar to my post-op plan. I was really nervous about having solids so soon, since it's much different that most other plans I've read about, but I have to say, when I see so many posts about people being super miserable on their clear or full liquid diet for WEEKS post op, I'm really glad I had the plan I did. I never felt hungry or deprived, I had a super smooth recovery and my loss has been great! I followed my plan as written, and never had a single episode of nausea or vomiting. I'm now 9 weeks post op, and feel like I'm eating like a fairly normal person, just very low carb, and small portions. But yeah, to allow cottage cheese, but not yogurt, and to group cows milk and almond milk into the same category is just... Odd... I hope you get some good answers that help clarify things for you. Please report back on what they say, as I think many of us are curious! ~*~ Find me on YouTube: Trisha's Sleeve Story ~*~ -

At 6 Wks be going home for Christmas. They don't know! What can I eat to blend in?
jobillandjosh replied to itstimealready's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is what I do for people I really don't want to explain my WLS to. I've run into this a few times already in small settings like a group of 6 where it can be noticeable. If we're having pizza, then I put a slice on my plate, cut it up here and there and and then I also get like a yogurt with Protein powder or something and eat that while the pizza sits there. No one asks why I haven't taken a slice and they see me eating. I'm usually able to throw my plate away. No one noticed or at least no one said anything. No one pushes food on me. A win I can live with. -
61 and Getting Sleeved 9/15-need a hand to hold!
VSGAnn2014 replied to Missy Ellen's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
At five weeks post-op I was eating salmon, refried beans, yogurt, cheese, chicken, coffee lattes (with skim milk), even a Taco Bell Chipotle loaded griller (I have no idea how I got that down, but it's recorded on My Fitness Pal during Week 5, so I guess it really happened). I'll warn you that I apparently have the sleeve of steel. I've never thrown up. So I don't know how typical all that is. But I do think at 5 weeks post-op you should be eating regular food. Maybe not Taco Bell, but at least chicken, soft fish, and maybe some broiled colored veggies. Maybe you should have an endoscope and see what's going on down there? Good luck to you! -
I was scared too. I puked up a scrambled egg but I could eat thin slices of cheese. You get a bit better everyday. Go slowly. Eat yogurt. Chew thoroughly.

If you're talking a vaginal yeast infection and you don't want to mess with creams, you can ask your doc for a pill called Diflucan. Just one pill and it clears it up. If you're having repeated infections, I'd try upping your probiotic intake with yogurt, kefir, fermented foods or supplements.

I am still on the full liquid diet and I'm getting tired of the protein shakes already. I tried some Greek yogurt with protein powder mixed in earlier today and it didn't settle well on my tummy. Anyone have any suggestions on different things I could try? I love savory foods and all the sweets are becoming a little much for me.

Yogurt, Milk - Dr against both for several months
HopeandAgony replied to HopeandAgony's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm not knocking anyone's program, I'm just curious as to why. I have no doubt you can hit Protein goals without it. Also seems rather arbitrary to allow cottage cheese but not yogurt. I understand not allowing the flavored yogurts, but why not plain Greek yogurt?That's exactly what I thought!! I just wanted some variety. I don't even like yogurt but the thought of having something besides cottage cheese was nice...lol. I am also surprised I can't have refried Beans or any beans until 1 month. I was soooooo looking forward to refried beans during the pureed stage because I love them. Sigh. I will definitely be asking. Thanks -
There are a couple of nutrition related areas to be aware of regarding antibiotics. Some antibiotics will interact with certain minerals. These minerals include magnesium and aluminum, which are found in anti-acid medications. Other minerals that can interact with some antibiotics include iron, calcium and zinc. Check your supplements to see if these are included. Some ready to drink protein shakes can be fortified with these minerals. Calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc and aluminum will interact with some antibiotics and make them less effective. You will need to take these minerals several hours apart from the antibiotic. Something else to be aware of is that antibiotics kill bacteria, both the good ones and the bad ones. Therefore, do not take an antibiotic at the same time you take something with probiotics in it like yogurt, kefir or a probiotic supplement. Your antibiotic can kill some of the good bacteria and not have enough left to kill all the bad bacteria. Take the time to read the insert that comes with your antibiotic. If you need further help, consult with your medical team, including your pharmacist. Taking your antibiotic correctly will allow your body to have the best chance to get rid of a bacterial infection.

The discovery of antibiotics has been a major factor with our increased life expectancy. You have probably had an occasion to be on antibiotic therapy. Over the last couple of decades, misuse of antibiotics has led to bacteria that have become resistant to many of the current antibiotics. It is important to take your antibiotics as prescribed, not just until you feel better. Getting the best result from your antibiotic helps you get rid of a bacterial infection.

HopeandAgony replied to HopeandAgony's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was also surprised that when I get home from the hospital (day 3 after surgery) I can eat cottage cheese, eggs, and all other pureed foods. Nice for me, though a little scary. Soft foods starting week 2, normal meats at 1 month with added veggies, and I can add fruit at month 2. I'm not complaining. Just perplexed by the yogurt/milk thing. -
I just tried nonfat Greek yogurt mixed with unjury chocolate protein powder. It was really good!

So what's changed?
sharkgirl replied to LoseItKacy's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Not super far post-op but I can't eat scrambled eggs (but hard boiled is just fine), used to LOVE mashed potatoes they were my favorite part of Thanksgiving and now I can't even have them touch my mouth. I love chili and would eat it every day. I also love yogurt and Water, both were just tolerated, now I crave them. I cannot add flavoring in my water either, it's way to sweet. -
Anyone familiar with this?
WorkinOnMe replied to Nikki Monroe's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
The Syntrax nectar are one of the only ones I can stomach. I especially like their fruit flavors because I mix them with Water and it isnt as thick. I also use their unflavored powder too. My NUT told me not to do more than 25-30g of Protein at once, and if it is at the higher end to take it slow so my body has time to process it a bit. The unflavored is 10g per scoop, so that is what I add to greek yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. -
@@Ray92 Don't you just love when someone starts out with wanting to make substitutions? Here I am. What are the usual ingredients, apart from the cheese, in shanklish? Are they so specific that feta wouldn't be a pleasing match? I'm just not familiar enough to know if feta and goat are always interchangeable. I've tasted all types of goat cheese through the years since it became well-known in the U.S., but I still can't abide it, not even the creamy, fresh, milder versions. I nearly cried like a baby long before that when I bought a container of goat's-milk yogurt in a specialty shop.
