I keep mine under 25 a day as well and I don't feel it's restricted at all. I still eat tortillas (carb friendly 4 net carbs), nuts (almonds and pistachios), yogurt (dannon light and fit is only 8 carbs), cheese, strawberries (1/4 cup). I don't eat bread, pasta, or rice and I never will again. Don't miss them at all anymore. I eat so much food that I don't feel deprived. I eat turkey bacon, avocados, eggs, Greek grilled chicken and tzatziki sauce, tuna patty (instead of bread crumbs add in pork rinds and bake instead of fry), grilled mahi mahi and squash are some of my favorites. I drink water everyday and don't miss soda or anything. I mix it up every day to keep things exciting. I do meal prep because I want to stay on my diet and be prepared. I find that when I don't have a plan or schedule that's when fast food or unhealthy options start looking good and I'm not going down that path again.

I talked to my Dr. again yesterday and told him I had only lost 1 lb in the week and he got really mad! He insists I am doing something wrong and that I should be consistently loosing 5-7lbs each week for the first 3 months. I can not figure out what I am doing "wrong". I am drinking 100 oz of Water per day, eating 100 g of Protein and only eating plain greek yogurt, cottage cheese, tofu and egg. To me it just seems that everybodys body react differently and maybe mine is just slow to loose... i wish he would have this surgery and can see if he looses 1lb per day!

I have a really silly question....my stomach is growling but the sound is different then prior to my banding. Is that normal? It has kinda a hollow sound!! I feel just a tad bit hungry. This is my third day post op clear liquids only. But counting my three days pre-op that is 6 days on clear liquid! Never in a million years did I think I could do somethig like that!! Anyway, the 2nd thing is what "exactly" can you have on full liquids?? I know I can have the protein drinks and everyting I had on the clear liquid but can I add sugar free puddings, V-8 juice?? I feel like a real dope not knowing what is considered full liquids. My doctor does not want us to do soups and yogurt at this stage. But what about home made smoothies?? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks

You can add them to protein shakes, you can add them to unflavored yogurt, add them to coffee, make protein ice cream, you can bake with it. The uses are endless. Check out Theworldaccordingtoeggface.com She puts those in everything from pancakes to fat free whipped cream.

Dreamingsmall- the other thing I meant to say - sorry- this is getting long- is that you really need to eat breakfast and lunch- if you're skipping meals then that's probably why you're stalled. Your body will hold on to weight if it feels like it isn't going to be fed- even if it's just a yogurt or glass of milk - get your metabolism going in the morning by have something when you first get up. Your metabolism won't start up it's engine until it's challenged by food (or a liquid supplement like milk or a protein shake)- otherwise you're telling your body to only metabolize for half the day- and you want it to burn all day- it's your "fat furnace" for lack of a better term Anyway- I hope that helps- it will make a big difference if you have something every 3-4 hours - and that means protein- Keep it up! Just eat more [emoji4] -
Hello Sleevers... today I am five days out from surgery. Woke up this moring feeling much more "normal" than any day since surgery. Not much pain, not really any nausea, but my stomach does make HORRIBLE noises as soon as I eat anything. Sounds like a garbage disposal, LOL... how long till THAT passes? Yesterday I had trouble getting all my liquids in, but doing much better today with them. it is really a CONCENTRATED effort to get all the liquids in they want you to, though, but I know it is really important. Cups of Cammomile tea help, and count as the Water part. It is almost SCARY how little I can eat. I mean, we're talking about eating a thimble full of food and I feel stuffed, and am belching and gurgling. I expected that I could only eat a tiny but I guess I just couldn't imagine how LITTLE of anything I can eat. One surprise is that, maybe this didn't happen to everyone, but my tastes seem to have changed. I am not hungry AT ALL, and when I do eat, any kind of meat seems absolutely repulsive to me. I can't even imagine eating red meat, and Tuna and even chicken and turkey seem very unappealing. Also, the biggest surprise is that chocolate tastes GROSS to me... yuk, it's like almost slimy tasting. I now seem to crave vanilla. Is it sujpposed to happen that your tastes flip around??? So here is the best thing that I can eat... - One half of a shot glass full of mashed potatoes, with a little gravy. - One half of a shot glass full of mashed sweet potato. No butter, a little pepper. - One half of a shot glass of mashed advocado - A mini-bite of cottage cheese (it kind of grosses me out) - A mini-bite of yogurt - pureed egg salad... one-half shot glass. Liquids are still best for me. I posted my Power shake recipie on another email, but here it is again. I love this, it tastes great and has 53 Grams of Protein: CINDRELLA'S POWER SHAKE -- Throw a handful of mini ice-cubes in the bottom of a blender. -- 1/4-C liquid yogurt (I prefer Trader Joe's Organic Probiotic Yogurt Shake, but Dannon liquid Yogurt will do. Flavored is OK.) -- 1/4-C skim milk plus -- 1 Scoop of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Chocolate or Vanilla Protein powder -- If you've had any diarreha, toss in a splash of Pedialyte. Blend on Liquefy YUM... Also, I am starting to have some BMs, but they are loose. I guess that is to be expected until your stomach adjusts. Be well, everyone... Rainy Blend on Liquify

5-Days Out... so Many Changes!
MS LISA replied to Cinderella's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow you are already on mushies, thats nice!! I am 2 weeks and still on full liquids, I was wondering what is liquid yogurt?? Does the yogurt that comes in the cups ok or does it have to be liquid?? That is a really good idea, I am having a hard time getting all my liquids in it seems that after I sip a few times I get full and it starts coming back up in my throat. Thanks lisa -
My surgeons instructions were to be on liquid diet for three weeks- 1st week juice and broth, 2nd week puréed soups and yogurt, 3rd week mashed soft foods- no water with meals, and protein shakes everyday to accommodate our need for protein. I'm following the diet so the body can heal. They say no pastas, rice, breads, etc for the first month, as they'll expand and damage the band.

So I tried to relate a similar concern in another thread...I get hungry and don't get 'full'. I'm 8 days out and allowed to eat yogurt. I can eat about a half a cup (4 oz. is most I'm willing to try at this point). Does anyone know if we really will feel 'full' when we get to more/solid foods?

Whey protien smell and taste
jerz replied to A_newMeex3's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I use unjury unflavored Protein. It's not 100% tasteless but it can be masked easily. For instance, tonight I used my magic bullet and puréed a cup of frozen strawberries, cup of frozen mango (I buy fresh then wash, chop and store in the freezer, which is cheaper than buying frozen fruits) a splash of Water, a packet of stevia and a scoop of Protein powder. I've discovered that for me adding milk or yogurt makes the protein taste more pronounced so I just use water for this kind of shake. Or another shake I make is a pack of sugar free hot chocolate mix, 1/2 frozen banana 4-8 oz of 1% milk, ice cubes and scoop of protein. You can add a spoon of Peanut Butter too! Hope this helps.

1 day post op and not hungry
2Bsmaller18 replied to Ahill95's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I found that instead of trying to drink from a big cup pour 2 ounces into a shot glass or smaller cup. then put a 10 minute timer on with a goal to finish the cup in 10 minutes. I did this 2-3 times and hour, then just sipped on water in between then focused again on getting 2 ounces in over 10 minutes. Today is day 5 and I have already hit 40g protein and 30oz of fluids. Also my doctor counts the shakes into the total fluids (even the yogurt counts towards fluid ounces). I also found that reclining in bed and trying to drink didn't work well. I needed to be sitting straight up. -
6 weeks post-op. Ready to go back to full liquids
StephanieS0208 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
**Disclaimer ** Tomorrow I am going to reach out to the dietician. I'm 6 weeks (almost 7) post-op and I can't eat much. Tuna sits like a ball and won't move much even following the chew lots, eat slowly, make sure it's not dry routine. Salmon makes me nauseous. I'm a pescetarian so my options for Protein are limited. I've tried Beans but they're high in sodium and carbs. I've tried a little tofu. It does OK but isn't much protein. Lately just about every meal has been 1 egg mixed with 2 oz fat-free greek yogurt with some dill relish and it's not boring yet. (This has all been approved per plan) I mean -- I know it gets better. Guess I'll just keep trying some different things. It's really hard to find a balance with high protein AND low carb AND low calories. And weirdly enough, Water fills me up quicker than anything and then makes me nauseous. My hair is going through a renaissance and I don't want to lose it. I'd like to get myself on the right track so I don't get low in Vitamins and nutrients. -
Sample of what I do, Greek yogurt (14-15g of protein) for breakfast. 2-3 ounces of tuna or chunk canned chicken mixed with very little mayo for lunch. 2-3 ounces of another meat (protein) for dinner. As a 4th meal I have another Greek yogurt. In between I have milk/ protein shake 2 times a day. Key is to get in a lot of protein.

Hoping someone can tell me about chia seeds
OKCPirate replied to Icantbelieveit's topic in Regular foods (stage 4)
These were recommended by the people who do my blood work. I include them in Breakfast and in my yogurt. Best to soak them first...https://draxe.com/chia-seeds-benefits-side-effects/. Can't say they have changed my life, but the evidence suggest there are positives. -
Let me hear what your post op diet was like from week to week....
Makulafamy replied to hopeful41411's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It was about 6 days post-op until I felt any hunger at all. I was banded on Jan.27th, and was supposed to be on clear liquids for 2 weeks. I made it about 6 days. I moved myself to full liquids (or at least cream soups) after that. When I met with my doc on the 7th day, he said that was fine. I am supposed to be on full liquids until tomorrow and then I can go to mushies and progress to soft. I am on mushies and soft stuff now. You will find that doctors orders vary drastically. You just have to know whats right for you and of course talk it over with your doc or clinical staff. Because I dont have a restriction yet, my meals dont really give me a full feeling. I just have to stop and ask myself if I am hungry. If the answer is no, I stop. Today for bfast I had half a container of lite strawberry yogurt with some grapenuts sprinkled on it. I had SF strawberry applesauce for a snack, and had taco bell refried Beans for lunch. Tonight I am going to have my first grilled chicken breast since before the preop diet. I am so excited! -
Eat some FF cottage cheese or yogurt and THEN explore Pinterest. It makes it easier for me to explore and plan recipes if I'm not starving. Lots of WLS recipe posts. Banded 10/12/16

Craving protein shakes
MrsKarenC2008 replied to MrsKarenC2008's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@Stevehud I haven't been very willing to "step outside the box" ... so I haven't "tried" much of anything new ... sad for me ... because I know there is a lot of new things I'm missing out on ! I love your milkshake idea ! @Elode That is what I've been doing too! shake for Breakfast .... meat for lunch ... shake for afternoon pick me up ... meat for dinner ... SF fudgesicle for my treat at night ... the occasional handful of peanuts or low-fat cheese stick or yogurt or scrambled egg ... but that is all I've lived on since surgery ... and yes, I'm alive -
I eat the same thing everyday as well. Greek yogurt 1/4 cup low fat granola String cheese I love it and theres lots of Protein.

Trouble with protein and picking food
Kindle replied to Bigmommatojacob's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try softer Proteins, you will be able to eat more and get more Protein....cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, tuna salad, refried Beans, spam, skim milk, split pea Soup, cheese, eggs. As for Protein shakes, which ones have you tried? There's dozens and dozens of different brands and at least as many flavors. You don't have to stick with just the thick, sweet, chocolate/vanilla/strawberry ones. The RTD shakes would make me gag, but I learned to dilute them with milk and have tried at least 15 different products to find the ones I like. I'm enjoying a cherry lemonade Syntax nectar Protein Drink on ice right now. There are also pea protein, egg protein, hemp protein and sprouted seed protein products out there if it's the whey/milk that your body doesn't like. It's important for you to get your protein or your body will suffer. Even at 6 months I can't eat enough to meet goals without at least one shake /day. -
How do you get enough fiber to help with elimination?

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 -
Lowest sugar Yogurt?
Threetimesacharm replied to numeby2017's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you purchase a zero sugar or no added sugar yogurt any of the sugar grams are naturally occuring in the yogurt itself, you can't get away from it. The whipped greek yogurt that I have had, sorry can't remember the brand, I think dannon is delicious and comes in all sorts of flavors, the coconut one is yummy! -
A few things I loved. . pureed turkey chili (thinned out with some chicken broth); mashed potatoes with nonfat Fage yogurt; poached salmon (waited until the end of mushies for that); yummy soups (I put some recipes in my blog); sweet potatoes. I know. . I totally overdid it on the carbs, but it was like heaven after clear liquids! Bon appetit!! Catherine

Don't know what to do???? I hate that I did this..........
shellylycz posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery was May 19th, I woke up in recovery in intense pain and throwing up. By the time I got to my room I felt fine. I had no pains meds after that and was up and around quickly. Walked all over the hospital the next day and even drove myself home. I only took pain meds once after coming home. The lack of being able to eat any thing of substance by day 5 had me weak and really in pain from hunger. I finally ate some yogurt and felt better. I have progessed from there. I have had no foods get stuck and no throwing up since recovery. I had my surgery on a Thursday and went back to work on the following Wed, with no restrictions and I do manual labor, so I am quite active. The past few days I have been in a great deal of pain. My belly buttton sometimes aches, to the left of my port I get sharp pains through out the day, especially the more active I become. Also I get a great deal of pain whenever I bent down from my port area. Now when I bend down it feels like I am nausea , my stomach contents seem to roll around, it is very unsetttling, and even painful. I have lost almost nothing and I know I can eat far to much. My doctor is different then most in that she requires us to only ever eat protein, that you can cut with a knife. NOTHING ELSE. She is insane, I feel like crap eating all this meat. I am so ready to give up. I feel like such a loser that I had to resort to a lap band to lose weight and it has done nothing for me. Not to mention I physically feel terrible most of the time. I have always had a high pain tolerence, so all this pain I am now starting to experience has me very worried..............
