lap-band in college
AlienBandit replied to ohlalauren's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
do u live in a dorm or can u cook for ur self? In College if u have a apartment style housing it can be really easy to cook for your self. If u have a meal plan then eating in the cafe can be a challenge. Look for yogurts and softer foods like Soups etc your first little while post op or pack Protein shakes etc that you can eat between classes. Since your surgery is on Wed and u dont go back til Mon you should be fine. If ur keeping it a secret just tell people you slipped on the ice ( if there is snow then) or hurt your self working out if anyone asks why ur taking it easy. The first couple of days can be sore but make sure u move around a lot. -

1) Gastric banding is a reversible procedure however a sleeve is permanent. How does it affect the life in future Why would you want a non-permanent solution to a permanent problem in your life? The fact that the sleeve is a tool that can never be taken away from me was a huge selling point for me! How does it affect life in the future? It makes my life much more likely to be awesome! I am so happy with my life now. I'd have the sleeve operation done over again every year if I had to . . . but fortunately for me, it's permanent so I don't have to! Am I going to be able to pig out again and eat huge portions? Nope, and I don't miss it. I can eat whatever I want to eat in small portions though. 2) I don't have any children yet, but would a sleeve be a hindrance if and when I do get pregnant in terms of the diet I need to follow, the nutrition required for the fetus and the quantities???? You will need to be careful to make sure you are getting in the right nutrients, but every pregnant woman should do that. Pregnant women need about 300 extra calories per day. Add in a snack of one container of full fat Greek yogurt with a half a banana sliced up and stirred in and you are good to go. (just one example) 3) Is the sleeve same as having a band in terms of eating habits. the reflux?? or is there a difference??? I have not had a band, but the revisioners I have seen here say that eating is less likely to cause food getting "stuck," "productive burping," reflux, and other problems. 4) I have read that even with the sleeve there are chances of putting on the weight again?? is that true??? This is absolutely true for any weight loss surgery. You have to be committed to watching what you eat and making healthy choices for the rest of your life. Good luck to you!

It seems to be different depending on your surgeon and nutritionist. I only had 10 days of liquids/cream soups/yogurt and then was able to transition to solids. I didn't have a puree and soft foods phase. I have limited foods to eat - lean Proteins and veggies and the only veggies are summer squash, zucchini and green Beans. And my surgeon's pre-op was not liquids. It was lean proteins and veggies 3 meals a day and 2 Protein shakes. Or you could have a WW or Lean Cuisine meal as long as it had less than 300 calories and at least 20 grams of protein.

I'm newly sleeved, 8 days out, and I'm already learning that head hunger is going to be a pain. Especially when pizza Hut commercials come on. This was a problem through the 2 week pre-op, but I kept my focus. I thought more of my hunger would have gone away post-op, but there's still a fair bit there. That combined with overall deprivation has stirred up some annoying cravings. Sometimes its just for yummy healthy stuff my family has for dinner (baked salmon never looked so good) and sometimes it is stuff from commercials, or something someone posts on Facebook (did I need to know that my cousin wen to Chick-Fil-A? thanks for that craving!) Given that the surgery took away most of my stomach, and I know that my fat stores, plus the oodles of Vitamins I'm taking, are plenty to sustain me, and I am also eating three meals/day of about 1/3 cup of strained Soup or yogurt, I think most of this is head hunger. That being said, what are your strategies for dealing with it? So far I've been reaching for my Calcium (yummy BA calcium chews that taste like candy!). Or I try to distract myself. But you guys who have been at it longer, what are your coping strategies?

I am 16 days post op and in the soft foods/ puréed stage. I am a teacher and going back to work on Tuesday. Kids return on Wednesday. I have 4 classes back to back before a break. What can I take that will keep my energy up but that's easy to eat without interfering with my classes. Btw, I teach 7/8 grade Spanish and always talking! I do have a refrigerator in my classroom and thinking of bringing yogurt but that doesn't hold me for long before my energy drops. Help!

3+ weeks out and need food ideas
vlemus replied to lisa s-p's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was also banded on the 29th. I am on soft foods but have had birthdays and just a bunch of stuff going on and had to find places to eat out. I go to jack in the box and get the grilled chicken strips without the fries and with tea. They are moist and i looked up the calories and they are a good choice for fast food. also kfc grilled no skin. But and i know it was a stupid thing to try but i tried some of my sons crunchy taco from taco bell cause he only eats the meat part and leaves the lettuce and cheese. I chewed it like 50 times and was fine. I cook my fruits except strawberries i use a hand blender and mush them and use it over yogurt and cottage cheese. Ive had asparagas (thats prob. spelled wrong) with no problems. I kind of eat what ever i want but just small portions and chew it until its liquid. Ive lost 12 pounds so far. and 2% of my body fat. I also was like a 45 something bmi and now im a 43 something. I eat alot of salmon. Walmart sells frozen packages that have four pieces for $4.96. they are about 3oz. after they are cooked. use some olive oil, lemon pepper, season salt and garlic powder. Its better than a resteraunt and cooks in about 5 min. If anyone has any more Protein ideas I need help with that. and veggies. And where do you guys find thos cool bmi and weight los trackers at the bottom of your messages. A good places to go is www.myfitnesspal.com it tracks all your food and its free it has every food you can think of and fast foods too. It helps you find good choices and realize why we are so fat becase a medium fry has like 700 calories. check it out it helps and its free. -
Any March 2017 sleevers! Let's share info!
Berry78 replied to Irish Girl in NW's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
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! -
Tonight, after a particularly long day, I came home in a bit of a foul mood and started contemplating what to have for "dinner" (the quotations due to me being only 2 weeks out today with very limited choices) and ended up making a cup of miso Soup from a mix I bought at the health food store. I had to post the outcome of the evening on the forum, because I knew it was the only place where people would understand. Background info, I saw the doctor this morning and she said I can try advancing to slightly fuller liquids like yogurt or cottage cheese, being very careful to see what I tolerate. She also recommended, due to our gallbladders being stressed on such a low fat diet (apparently they need fat to function? Learning stuff every day), that I add a tablespoon or so of olive oil to Soups, to increase the "good fats" in my diet. So, feeling brave and desperate for a change in menu, I added the oil and also about two tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt to my soup, even though I've been pretty fearful about advancing my stages. My insurance sucks and I have major anxiety about causing any problems. Well... It. Was. Amazing. The olive oil made the soup taste just a bit richer. The yogurt was very broken down by the warm soup and the pieces I fished out pretty much just melted in my mouth. Whatever - I feel like I just ate a meal fit for a king. I had to get up twice and putter around, to distract myself from eating too fast. But it went down great! I just had to share. That bit of yogurt was the first thing I've had in a month with a consistency thicker than milk or Water, and that feels like a HUGE victory!

Well today I had 1 egg and ai trying the baby food again(Apples and Ham). I put it in the microwave for 25 seconds. I figure I can eat apples and ham and a few others with a little bit of sweetness. I tried the rest--uhhhhhhhh...nasty, But hey--there is yogurt and othr items which is soft and will bring down the weight. Also it'll follow the guidlines of the banding weeks in the beginning. I am hoping to use the liquid meal replacements I brought. I know that my hunger will be less and i am going to "LOVE" that.

5 months out...no food sounds good to me!
JCP replied to rome's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am only 7 weeks but no food appeals to me. Shakes are repulsive but I try to get them down. I eat nuts and cheese to get food in because they cause no tummy problems. Yogurt and beans also work fairly well for me. Meat tastes so horrible and makes me feel ill, even a few tiny bites of chicken. It's amazing to go from a meat-sugar addict to not having any desire whatsoever for food. The good thing is I am starting to enjoy the freedom from the addiction, and am not missing food anymore. I think the monkey is off my back! -
Lactose intolerance
TijuanaPlication replied to Bemabound's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sorry to hear about your problems. Some people become temporarily lactose intolerant. Can you try some lactose free milk? We have this in the UK http://www.lactofree.co.uk/ and there must be something similar in the US. You could try yogurt as a lot of people who have problems with lactose do OK with fermented products (that includes cheese too). I'd try just half a small yogurt to see how you go. I have IBS and I have a relative with crohns, so I sympathize with you. You could also try your protein drinks with water. If you still have problems it could be the protein powder itself giving you issues. I never did protein drinks as they make too unwell (cramps, bloating, etc). You should be OK to get your protein from real food now as you're nearly a month out. Just make sure you chew, chew, chew (fish will be easier on your new sleeve if chicken doesn't sit well just yet). All the best. -
2 Weeks Out!
Inner Surfer Girl replied to sweetsavannah's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congratulations! Time does fly when you are having fun! A few of the first things I had were cottage cheese, pintos and cheese (from Taco Bell), and Greek yogurt. I am nine months out and I still eat a lot of cottage cheese, yogurt, and refried beans! -
How soon did you start working out...
Baconville replied to ladykatie_'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I began working out prior to surgery. The evening after surgery I started walking, and never stopped. I listened to my body and rested when I needed to, but everyday I tried to do just a little more. By the time I was three weeks out I was back at the YMCA. Regarding Protein, I use Premier Protein shakes which you can get at Sam's Club and Cosco. They have 30 grams of protein in one shake. In the first weeks I added Protein powder to Greek Yogurt and pureed tuna and chicken. By doing this I was able to meet my protein goals. My original goal was only 50-60 grams each day, so it was very doable. GOOD LUCK!! -

Jb1176 replied to ssourgirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Puréed foods for 11 days after day 3 clear iquid post surgery. Am now on day 4 /11 of purée and am tolerating fish, chicken salad, hamburger with melted cheese, cottage cheese, plain Greek yogurt, and scrambled eggs made with a little water to fluff them up.. Will try chicken soup tomorrow - just avoid the noodles. Can just today get down 4 oz of puréed protein. After 11 days I transition to soft foods for two weeks, then regular diet. -
May Sleevers-What are you eating?
par1959 replied to MrsVanderbilt's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The only food I have had a problem with is apples. Water is my down fall only because I am addicted to coffee. I higly recommend a couple servings of fruit a day. Catelope is my go to. Sure you will exceed 60 carbs a day, but fruit is a complexed carb with lots of fiber. Make sure you know what a serving is, because its easy to go over on fruit. A great breakfast instead of a shake is about 5.5 oz of low cal flavored greek yogurt with either a 1/2 cup of bran or oatmeal. If you use oatmeal mix it in the night before. Its like candy but low cal, high in ficer and protein. -
Protein Drink Ideas?
KevinsBabyGirl85 replied to Erin's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Try the syntrax nectars they are tasty!!! Also you could blend some fruit, ice, milk, and protein powder.....makes the best smoothie!! Also try unflavored protein powder in pudding or yogurt!!! -
I weighted 217 when I had my surgery. I'm now 190. I go to the gym for two hours 4 days a week. I do cardio and strength training. I also walk a lot. I don't count calories but I try and sick to three meals a day. If im starving then I have a snack. My Dailey meal plains looks something like this: Greek yogurt plan with maybe a banana or a Protein shake with kale. A salad with grilled chicken or maybe a turkey chili or left overs from dinner. Or a Kale shake. Dinner is 4 oz of protein and a green veggie if I have room. I have an appoint with my dr this Friday! I'm just so disappointed I thought I would have done better!

Also try yogurt, cottage cheese, pureed soups, any cooked and mashed beans, apple sauce. I don't think you should try lettuce yet. Just eat very slowly and you will do fine. Joan

Need help with food ideas please!
Jolisue replied to sld010's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I love tuna salad made with plain Greek yogurt instead of mayo. It adds protein and still moistens the tuna. I add finely chopped onion, celery and sweet relish. To me it's "normal" food so it was welcome after so much soft foods. I eat this twice a week now, and I'm 3 months post op. Chili is also soft and high in protein. Wendy's Restaurant has a small chili so it's a great go to fast meal. I'm also into ground turkey made with taco flavoring. Baked potato also works but I added protein powder to get my 80 grams met. Isopro unflavored is a good one along with plain, nf Greek yogurt. Salsa is a great addition to the potato as well. Just experiment. I learned from this forum so I'm sure you'll get great ideas. Good luck! -
