I can totally feel you , I was sleeved Nov 13 , 2012 and felt exactly the same way ,,, what works better for me is that I bought the whey Protein Powder at GNC , vanilla flavor ( The red one ) and I mix 1/2 banana & 3 strawberries with 6 oz Skim milk and 1 scoop of the powder Protein in the blender, or buy the Frozen berries with pieces of yogurt ( Yoplain ) and Skim milk or Water and the protein powder . If you are stil pre op , check with your doctor but if your post op , you should be okay.

My port spot hurts really bad also. I have not felt any pain on the other incisions. The nurse told me that it was normal and it would be that way for a couple of days. I was just reading some info that they sent home with me and one paragraph in there said that during the surgery, they just insert the band and not really fill it. Has anyone heard of this? I would have assumed that the doc would have put some saline in it. I have read that some of you can "feel" when the adjustment has been made, but I don't really have that feeling. So maybe the info was correct. I have been on "liquids" since the banding, but the liquids include drinkable yogurt, applesause, pudding, popsicles and the like. I have not had a problem yet of hunger.

1200 calories a day, but what about sugars?! What's your food plan look like?
emsbugbug replied to sawyer77's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you like yogurt and you have a Kroger around you, they have yogurt called Kroger Carbmaster. It is pretty good and has on 3 grams of sugar and 60-80 calories. I really like it and sometimes add a pack of Stevia to sweeten it up. It's a great snack! -
June 30th Sleeve Surgery date
tiredmama replied to tamcat44's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Typical day for me: Breakfast: 1/2 Protein shake or Quest bar Morning snack: 1/2 cup cottage cheese Lunch: 100 calorie yogurt Afternoon snack: 1/2 Protein Shake Dinner: 1/4 cup of tuna salad Evening snack: sugarfree popsicle Portion size varies for me- I usually dish out 1/2 cup per meal but usually cant finish it, especially if it's a thicker texture. I am trying to cut down on snacking because my doc and nutritionist advise not eating more than 5 times a day but so far I can't eat enough to hold me for much more than 2 hours. -
7cc in 10cc band, THREE FILLS & still NO RESTRICTION??
honk replied to drewsmom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have a 11 cc band did not get restriction until 10.6. Are you weighing your protein? My doctor says 3 oz. If you are not getting enough protein that will stall your loss and make you feel hungry. I have greek yogurt for breakfast and add half a scoop of vanilla isolate to up the protein (add splendra since Greek yogurt is sour). -
5 days post op...HAD to chew...here's what I did...
lisaky71 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi everyone...I've been reading all of these people struggling with the liquid diets pre and post op and I'm right there with you! Not only was it physically TOUGH for me, it was as equally mentally excruciating for me. I guess getting banded was cutting off my drug of choice...FOOD. So when all of a sudden, I had to go to a pre-op all CLEAR liquid diet, I about couldn't make it, but I did. Now I am 5 days post op and feeling really well. Except for the longing for palatable food! So i called the dr. office today and she said I could reintroduce creamed Soup..like cream of chicken, pudding, yogurt, icecream and cottage cheese as long as a chewed really well. Well, I started with some cream of broccoli soup that was heaven...ate almost the whole can with the added Water, then 1/2 cup of Mcdonald's soft serve ice cream with an added teasppoon of Peanut Butter added in...then later I was able to eat a cup or so of won ton soup WITH the noodle chewed up really really well. Then to top it all off, my kids were snacking on some ritz crackers and I ate about 10 of those...again, chewed up until they were like soup in my mouth, but still...the whole time I was worried I was screwing up! ANy thoughts on this? I seemed to tolerate everything fine. Is it strange I can consume that much soup in one sitting without it bothering me? Should the crackers have bothered me? Thanks for any thoughts...you don't know how much better I feel to have finally had some food. I felt like a real person again. My dr. didn't really give me guidelines for calories during this 2wk period. Lisa -
Disneyland 7 months post op? Good or bad idea?
lsereno replied to gingerRN's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went to Japan at 7 months out and had a great time. It took longer for my energy to return (I was tired for first four months), but by 7 months I felt great. I took Protein powder and a shaker cup, and beef Jerky. You can drink Protein shake in the morning and another at night if you are having a hard time getting protein in while on vacation. If you have a hotel with a fridge, those little cups of greek yogurt and great and convenient too. Also, light cheese sticks, low fat salami, crackers, little cans of v-8, and applesauce cups are all good choices for the hotel room. Have fun! Lynda -
Suddenly Lactose Intolerant? Help Please
Lee replied to Lee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Bored, Are you able to tolerate Greek Yogurt? I am really relying on it right now because it's so high in Protein. I've never been a milk drinker but I am hoping that small amounts of cheese will be fine once I get to that stage. -
Suddenly Lactose Intolerant? Help Please
deedee replied to Lee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Lee, I've always been lactose intolerant and the Chike powder had my stomach cramping horribly and straight to the bathroom when I first discovered it after surgery. I spoke to my nutritionist about it and she had never heard of this happening to her other patients, even those who were lactose intolerant. Because I suffered with constipation after surgery, and it was one of the only brands I could tolerate to drink, I still used it periodically...it usually took care of my constipation problem;-) I've never had a problem with yogurt and some cheeses are okay, but others are not and I'm off to the bathroom. Real ice cream has always been hit or miss with me, sometimes I can tolerate it, other times it gives me problems. I didn't worry so much about the carbs on the full liquid phase, but that's just me, because I was eating so little. I did cream of potato Soup, yogurt, unjury's Protein chicken soup, Jello, more yogurt, and other creamed Soups...pretty boring I know. I didn't do applesauce because pre-op it could give my stomach problems and send me running to the bathroom. Good luck through the rest of this phase! -
Suddenly Lactose Intolerant? Help Please
Tiffykins replied to Lee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was able to eat cheese, and Greek yogurt easily, but milk was a no-go. I'm not a milk drinker, but I gave it the good ole college try with bouts of diarrhea following. -
Suddenly Lactose Intolerant? Help Please
Lee replied to Lee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for the replies Tiffy, Nikki and Jewels. I think this is just going to be a learning process for me. I did ok on Greek Yogurt this morning followed by Cream of Wheat w/soymilk for lunch. The Cream of Wheat was great after living on Soup and yogurt. -
Suddenly Lactose Intolerant? Help Please
Lee replied to Lee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks Carol. It's interesting that I'm fine when I eat greek yogurt and cream of wheat w/soymilk, but as soon as I add in Optimum Nutrition Whey powder or Chike, I go off again. I haven't had any cream soups, except Trader Joe's Organic Creamy Tomato soup and I think I was ok with that. It seems to be the Protein powders that do me in. I'm hopeful that I'll soon be on pureed foods, just another week or so, then I can get my protein from better sources. I'm glad I'm not the only one in this boat, but that said, I'm sorry it happened to you as well. I'm glad yours cleared up. I'd hate to not be able to eat cheese etc. -
5 days post op and made it through Christmas!
amber2604 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well I'm 5 days out and made it through Christmas and it's gatherings!! I didn't cheat once and in so proud of myself! I stuck to this full liquid diet. I have my first week follow up appointment with my surgeon on Monday and I'm hoping he moves me on to mushies!! I wanted so bad to eat crab cakes, mashed potatoes, and dressing but I couldn't. What did your doctors move you to after your first week? I'm eating pudding and yogurt but I'm getting hungry between meals and I have a small fill. Like 1.5 cc. I hope everyone had a great Christmas!! -
Krogers now has a lite Greek yogurt with 6 grams of sugar. It was a great buy 5 for $4. Sent from my SGH-T989 using RNYTalk

I love the Dannon Light and Fit. I am addicted to the vanilla. For the most part Greek yogurt makes me gag (to thick and sour) but I LOVE this stuff.

Crushing medications
WLSResources/ClothingExch replied to lvmyrottnlab's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You won't be able to do this immediately after surgery, but when you are cleared for sugar-free applesauce, it works pretty well. Same for a little yogurt or cottage cheese once you're cleared for those. Sorry, no cheerful suggestion from me for when you're on liquids only. Maybe you can mix Crystal Light or similar product into the Water. It still won't be fun, but perhaps better than plain water. Or any of the other liquids (but not hot ones). Some prescriptions should not be crushed or, in the case of capsules, opened. Check with your pharmacist about each of yours. If you get "Don't do it" as an answer, talk to your prescribing doctor(s). They may tell you it's okay to stop whichever drug for a short time. -
I am on a 3 week PreOp diet I have been told I can drink 4-5 protein shakes a day (160 cal max) and have clear liquids. I was also told I can have greek yogurt. My question is what kind? The ones with fruit and vanilla are pretty high in carbs but the plain is awful. What kind did you all have to eat. I know I will need this for after also.

I put 1/4 c of sf vanilla pudding and 1/4 c of greek yogurt stir and add pumpkin spice or apple pie spice and makes it tasty. I am out 14 days and feeling great.
-

Liquid diet struggles
Khoric Ritter replied to TheAngryMeow's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am not sure what your dietitian recommended during your liquid diet phase. (Ours gave us a menu). Mine is 10 days, first 7 is liquids, such as protein shakes, broth, water, jello, yogurt smoothies, and they even mentioned creamed soup, just make sure its no fat/no sugar and to strain out any chunks it may have. ((But then 3 days before surgery its clear liquid only, water/broth )) Each Dietitian/doctor is different. A friend of mine is on clear liquids only, for 7 days. -
I am freaking out, it it normal,
LipstickLady replied to nancy264's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Girl, you don't even know how much your life is about to change. This is truly the best decision I have EVER made for myself. I am finally ME again. I can do anything I want to do (and some things I never thought I could do). I can wear anything I want to wear (or I can wear nothing at all ). I am no longer self conscious about the way I look. I no longer worry about who I might run into. I no longer care if my hair and face are perfect and if I feel like running out in workout clothes, I do. I can buy a cookie or a frozen yogurt and eat it *in public* without feeling like that fatty everyone is staring at. I no longer think anyone is looking in my grocery cart judging me. I am FINALLY a normal sized person and actually bordering on being thin. WHAT UP!?!?! Seriously, the best decision EVER. -
First day on pre op diet.
erjlg3 replied to Crissy A's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Did you manage to do this? Aren't you allowed fruit or greek yogurt in your shakes for a liquid diet? I have heard also vanilla? I am wondering because I will be there.......in time. Thank you. Jackie -
Liver shrink diet
cknhealthyme replied to Ladyv1980's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My liver shrink diet is for 1 week so feeling lucky. 3oz lean meat and 1 fruit (half banana, small apple, or cup melon) for breakfast, 1 string cheese and fruit for snack, 2oz lean meat and cup cooked veggie (preferably green leafy) or 2 cup raw veggies for lunch, 8 oz high protein milk or 6 oz Greek non-fat yogurt for snack, and 2oz lean meat and half cup cooked or 1 cup raw veggies for dinner. Dill pickles, sugar free popsicles are freebies. Day before surgery will be all liquids and magnesium citrate. I don't care for dill pickles but had to break and go get some to stop my tummy from rumbling at bedtime. Can't wait for 2/2. Good luck to everyone. -
I start mine on Tuesday. Protein shake for breakfast, another for lunch, along with either a half cup of sugar free pudding or applesauce. Afternoon snack of 4oz of light yogurt. Dinner is 2oz of chicken or turkey and 1 cup of veggies. Sugar free popsicles are allowed to help get your 64oz of liquids. I am really nervous that I'll be soo hungry. I am going to stick to it. I want no chance of them rescheduling the surgery if I don't!!
