Hello Everyone, I would like to see if anyone has advice for me. I had my surgery on April 22, 2008. I lost 15lb before surgery and have only lost a grand total of 26pounds. They never explained to me that i would still be very hungry after i had this surgery. The first week after i was miserable. Ok fine i got over that. I was never able to eat chicken after the surgery ok fine i am over that. i had my first fill 6 weeks after surgery. It did nothing at all. My second and third fill was the same. I still felt hungry all the time:thumbdown: and could eat alot of food. although my choices are better i am still not loosing weight. I just had my fourth fill and i am at 7cc's in a REALIZE band. this fill has been very hard. The list of foods i CAN eat is very limited as aposed to the list of foods i can not eat. I have a hard time with eggs but if i have cereal for breakfast i am starving by 11am. I throw up alot and i dont ever feel full and i am not loosing weight. I have been eating good foods. i had eggs for breakfast, celery and cheese for snack, salad and yogurt for lunch and steak and beets for dinner. still starving. HELP!!! what do i do?

Since the pb is mixed in the smoothie, I haven't had trouble. I actually lick the spoon too, and that is heavier. Don't think I want to try a plain spoonful quite yet. The smoothie with yogurt can be a bit tart. Cottage cheese works too! My stall broke today! 269! (It is so much more exciting when the tens unit ticks down!) I haven't been in the 260s since 2008. Yesterday I was able to squeeze into previously too small pants. Not wearable yet, but I have faith it won't be long! -
being bulimic most of my life, now i have no choice?
*lolo* posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, Im a new poster, new member to this group. I have been bulimic most of my life , so throwing up takes zero effort. I had gastric sleeve surgery and a hiatal hernia repaired at the same time (11/15/2017) I am unable to eat jello, yogurt , broth, lets just say the only thing I can keep down without it sitting in my throat is sugar-free powerade drink. I had a large hiatal hernia but it was repaired , I had my follow up with my bariatric surgeon/ doctor 2 weeks post surgery and asked him if its possible that the hernia surgery was repaired too tight? He said no. He had no explanation on why I cant actually swallow these things and my reflux is worse . I guess those who develop reflux post surgery include those who already have it so its horrible. I take 40mg omeprazole as needed .... not as prescribed (1 pill a day). ALSO, to make matters worse, it seems like I developed a full body yeast infection? (except its not where they usually are thank god). I have red welts, my wounds itch beyond words, then it spread to my lower stomach , then under my breasts, now its on my neck. I suppose if it travels down below then i will be furious. Ive tried otc calamine lotion, fungal itch creams nothing is even helping with the itch. ONE LAST THING I was doing ok as far as pain but the other night after I walked into a grocery store, I almost collapsed. I had what felt like a hot knife stabbing me in the large wound above my belly button. I was kind of stuck, not being able to walk in or out just stuck. I realized the pain was more of a ripping of my insides so I struggled and tried my hardest to hold up the bottom of my stomach so it wasnt putting pressure on that wound area. I can only assume its an adhesion . Now what? anyone experience these things? My surgeon wasnt concerned about me spewing throw up from most anything i try to swallow, wasnt concerned that my whole body is a huge rash and welts that itch beyond control. I havent even had a chance to tell him about the adhesion ... fearing his "thats what you signed up for" attitude. He is a great surgeon, I have no doubt and he has the best personality dont get me wrong. But dont know what to do about all of this . thanks for any advice -
Here's some ideas... Hummus, scrambled eggs, refried Beans, cottage cheese (mashed up), Greek yogurt, cream/strained Soups, ricotta bake, and there's a lot more on Pinterest . Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App

I think I've developed an irrational phobia about taking my dr prescribed medication....
_Kate_ replied to nomorechubbybutt63's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I take Ramapril for high blood pressure and just break open the capsule and either mix it in a shake or a little yogurt. If you are on capsules maybe you can do the same but check with your GP first. As for as the cholesterol pill you could also speak to your GP to see if you can have it in liquid form for 3 months? If not see if it can be ground down without changing the composition of the medication. I know some can't be ground down but worth asking. Good luck! -
Hi all, I am only eating baby food fruits, puréed soups, bariatric oatmeal thinned w milk, protien shakes, and yogurt. I add unflavored protien powder to everything which ups the calories. I'm so scared this just didn't work for me. If I could control my portion size I wouldn't have needed the surgery. I feel the same as I did prior to surgery. No restriction at all. I know I shouldn't have done this today but I ate a whole banana to see if I'd feel any thing and nada!!! I could've eaten another. Please tell me this isn't happening !

Hello! I had my band surgery on October 28th. From October 13th until November 3rd I lost 13 pounds! I was thrilled. Since November 3rd though I have been stuck at the same weight. I am still on the liquid diet (shake in morning, yogurt for lunch, and shake at dinner, with water and broth in between). I even have been walking every day. So why is the weight not coming off? I know it should be slow - about 2 pounds per week, but this week has been nothing. With a high protein, low calorie diet, with exercise you think there would be some loss. Did anyone else experience this? Does any one have suggestions??

Honesty hour: need help

Mashed potatoes, cream of wheat, yogurt and cottage cheese are all part of my full liquid stage Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I don't use yogurt, but at times I add ice, and I mix all my shakes with skim milk not a fan of all the air and froth, so i just use a strainer to strain my drinks. the air bubbles will get caught in the strainer or will just go away/liquify. you can also try letting your shakes sit in the fridge to settle. but because i'm always on the run i use a strainer

9 days post op...are these hunger pains????
Kelleeelliott replied to Kelleeelliott's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
that advice helped!! what do u eat on a daily basis! let me give u my diet today Breakfast---protein shake snack--cream of whear lunch-mashed potatoes(small)and pudding snack yogurt By 530 I was starving!!!!!!!!!!! isnt that a lot of food?? -
It really depends on your doctor's plan. I'm 4 days post surgery as well and my "full liquid" diet allows Greek yogurt, pudding and cream of wheat. The thicker textures of those foods is more satisfying than just drinking protein shakes. The Oikos Triple Zero Greek yogurt brand is quite thick and has 15g of protein. I made cream of wheat today with a little Splenda and cinnamon and it was delicious. Like a slightly thinner version of oatmeal. You can also mix protein powders in with cream of wheat for more protein and different flavors.

Shanna H posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had surgery the 14th and I am already eating greek yogurt and refried beans. I was so hungry the doctor had me start softs. I am down 19 lbs since surgery day. I can't have a fill until the 24th of January to allow more healing time. Anyone else experience extreme hunger? What did you do? -

mdannar1 replied to Shanna H's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My friend who has now been banded for almost 2 years said just to listen to your body. I am a week post op and have had 1/4 cups of refried beans and mashed potatoes here and there. Also vanilla yogurt has been ok. Eating these things feels much better to my stomach than those protein shakes. For whatever reason the drink goes down ok but after a few min it feels like it expands in my stomach and hurts. Tried some egg drop soup yesterday, thinking the egg would help me get my protein intake and went down and felt great to my stomach. So far so good, but just taking it really easy and just little bits. -
Don't worry about exercise right now until your cleared and feel good. I used to go out around 9 pm and walk my neighborhood but only a little at a time and increased as I felt better. Just a little walk will help... I walked at night bc it hurt to wear a bra with my incisions lol Go online.. You can get some great recipes for each stage. A lot of the recipes use yogurt in them to help with protein. My problem was and is I don't like yogurt either ???? I have some recipes if you need

Puleeeeze don't make me drink another protein drink!
ocgirl15 replied to Katrinakit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If it makes you feel better Lite Greek yogurt was allowed by my surgical team during the full liquid stage which was less than a week post op. I am alive and well. It might be worth giving them a call because they might say it is ok. Either way reach out to your NUT there are tasty protein shakes out there. GNC total lean and Isopure (also at GNC) got me through. Syntrax nectar from Amazon is good too. -
I was told 2 weeks of liquid diet. About day 6, I had Greek yogurt watered down with almond milk (unsweetened). I followed that with shaved turkey and very thinly sliced deli ham. Those two things saved me mentally. I was becoming very depressed and mentally having a hard time. Once I put those two things in my face, that ended and I started to regain some energy.

Starting purées a day early
Freckles70 replied to Freckles70's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've been eating a super thick Greek yogurt (Oikos triple zero) since day 2 so after talking to my husband I decided to give the refried beans a try. They were DELICIOUS! I did a 1/4 cup with an oz of melted shredded cheddar and it went down very smoothly and easily. -
Food items to have Post Op
KristenLe replied to sleeverv's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@sleeverv I'm still pre-surgery but I've got a list in my head already. Don't buy too much of anything - you may not be able to tolerate the taste post-op (even if you like it now). Protein shakes (pre-made), Protein powder, broth, sugar free Jello, chicken, veggie or beef stock/broth (even better if you make your own bone broth - more protein), greek yogurt (watch sugar content), crystal light or similar Water flavoring, bottled water (might even want to try a few kinds). Good luck! -
I know the feeling. I'm 4 weeks out and have had raging nausea, on Prilosec, on soft foods and know I'm not meeting protein but am so sick of protein shakes. can't take urso for gallstone, was sick for 2 days taking 1 pill. nausea at the start of all meals. does this get better??? I have lost weight, not weighing myself yet just trying to eat daily greek yogurt, fluids, meds, so many vitamins, and real food which now tastes good but always an aftertaste.

9 days post surgery - Ended up in ER today!
LollyMoe replied to attitudz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
First of all I am sorry that you are having problems. Constipation is very painful at times. You probably weren't as clean out as you thought prior to surgery. Sometimes that happens. Second: it's really important to drink your fluids..water is best. Eat FIBER ONE cereal with milk or mix it with yogurt. I also eat a peeled apple every aftenoon. Take 1-2 Ducolax pills each night. Walking is also good to help the system adjust. Third: I don't like Miralax as I think it's too harsh. Metamucil is too thick. I've never use Benefiber but lots of people say it's wonderful. Watch for things that are somewhat constipating naturally..e.g. bananas, cheese. Fourth: About every 5-6 days, I will take MOM to get a complete cleaning out. I feel that the sigmoidcolon is what is being emptied and not the main colon and I want a complete "poop" removement. After, I do this & everything is empited, I eat Active yogurt to replace the flora in the colon that may have been lost. All of this done with my surgeon's approval. -
They are cooked but cooked soft. Everyone is different but I make mine by mixing one egg with ½tsp of plain 0% greek yogurt and a tiny bit of shredded cheddar cheese. I then keep stirring them while they are cooking until they almost reach a firm custard stage. I cant emphasize this enough: EAT SLOWLY

My first mashed potatoes were awesome! Our diets sound pretty much the same with the cream soup and yogurt. I added avocados because they were just as awesome as the potatoes. You can also eat baby food. Also so you don't eat too fast put your fork down for a least a minute before you take another bite. Good luck moving forward!

Oh okay, I would die for some mash, or oatmeal. They told me not to do those until 3 weeks post op. Right now they said to do sugarfree Popsicles, sugar free pudding, sugarfree Jello, Protein drinks of course, fat free yogurt, cottage cheese, diluted juices, fat free refried Beans, and egg whites. Maybe you can add one of these to give you more of a variety. I do 1oz-2oz every two hours. I don't know how to explain it but my body feels like it just needs really food you know.

This sounds horrible for some reason. However the yogurt may work more than I am giving it credit. I love avacado. Thanks for the suggestion!
