Slow loser needs advice from good losers
marys replied to Oregondaisy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi Denise - we are close in height, weight and fairly close in age - i am on birth control pills - don't know how that affects my weight. Your fill sounds right cuz you don't want to pb and not be able to eat some solids -you may just be eating too much for your body to lose weight - even if it seems like nothing! so, yes, please share a few days of what you are eating - that will help for others to make suggestions. here is what I tend to eat B: V-8 juice or Protein shake L: Soup w/2 tbls of cottage cheese; a low fat yogurt with a few spoons of cottage cheese or a Protein Shake D: I use a saucer (cup and saucer plate) that holds about 1/4-1/2 cup and put in a few spoons of food to fill it - protein (whatever works) and a vege - if i can i eat 2 spoons of a carb that totals 600 or less calories not much fun, not much food, still a bit hungry esp in the morning any more calories will result in no loss but no gain. on the weekends i have a glass or two of wine and then my weight goes up only to go back down during the week. i know its frustrating but if you feel your fill is right you'll have to play around with your calories until it works. -

Help please-to fill or unfill: that is the question
SweetTeach replied to Drband14's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hello, just wondering why you would skip breakfast? You can at least have a protein shake or bar? Because that is what will kick start your metabolism. By starving yourself like that, you are actually slowing down your metabolism. That would probably help with weight loss but I am only almost 2 months post Op. I never skip breakfast and I either have a shake or lowfat Greek yogurt. Good luck! -
Both my experiences with anesthesia ended with me waking up okay and puking. But the 1st time I was 4 years old, having my adenoids removed. The 2nd time was 5 years ago and 100+ lbs lighter sans sleep apnea, for my gall bladder. Same results as adenoids. Wake and puke. I'm trying to lose as much weight as possible between now and 3/11/13 to lower my BMI and my risks. I'm using Idealshape meal supplements. An organic cleanse. A Multivitamin. And tons of salad, veggies, Greek yogurt, fruit, lean meats, and the occasional whole grains. Kicking up my activity level. I've been a nonsmoker for almost 7 years and I'm eliminating alcohol and caffeine going forward. I am, in all seriousness, a little OCD with an emphasis on the "O". I don't know what else to do to improve my health and decrease my risks. Amanda Sexton

What is/was your post op diet?
yami17leth replied to Lisa1996's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had surgery 4/13 Was sent home on stage 3. For the first 2 weeks until my post up apt I had clear liquids, Protein shakes and yogurt. Week 3 until my next nut apt in about 3 weeks i'm on stage 4 soft foods. Cottage cheese, fish, salmon, tuna in Water ect. I have been on stage 4 for almost 2 weeks now. I'm trying to make different types of food. YES! I have had to trow away lots of food either because I didn't like the taste or because I like it the first time but not anymore. My tastes have changed a lot after surgery and it does happen to many people. I remember when I was told I had to get used to wasting food as it would be no option after surgery Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
The statement above is correct. Oatmeal and beans are a much better choice than Protein shakes and meat Proteins. The carbs are complex and the protein is complete, whereas meat protein is incomplete. Also - the mushy phase is still a healing phase. Complex carbs are okay and are necessary. If you want the numbers: There are 11 grams of protein in an 81 gram serving of oatmeal (0.13 g of protein per 1 g weight) - and it's a complete protein with all the amino acids you need. In an egg there are 6 grams of protein for an average 55 grams of weight (0.10 g of protein per 1 g weight) and it's an incomplete protein. Beans also have a complete protein but there are fewer grams of protein per serving, 13 grams for a 238 gram serving (0.05 g per 1 g of weight) but with some cheese and ideally greek yogurt (very high in protein) you could have a very nutritious meal with a lot of protein, a good amount of complex carbs, and some necessary fat. Summary: Oatmeal and beans trump other proteins. Eat them and enjoy!

1 Month Post Gastric Sleeve Surgery And Not Happy
MINI-Me replied to a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
One more thing ... when I was researching the surgery, my nutritionist warned me that I may become lactose intolerant. Luckily, I wasn't. BUT, she did say that most people who become lactose intolerant are usually just intolerant to straight milk products - you can usually have cheese and yogurt. Have you tried Carbmaster Yogurt? It's 3 grams of carb, but has 12 grams of Protein. (I find it at Fred Meyers, but it is also available at Kroger and/or Albertsons.) It goes down super easy for me - I also mix in 1/2 scoop of "unflavored" Protein powder to get the protein count up to 21g. YUMMY! -
Is cauliflower really that much better for us than the carb product it is replacing? Has anyone ever tried baked greek yogurt?

1 Month Post Gastric Sleeve Surgery And Not Happy
thinoneday replied to a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Yup, that is exactly what i said in the beginning too. . . i wished there would have been a trial thing or something you know "try before you buy". . but unfortunately there wasn't. . .take some prilosec or nexium or some sort of acid reducer for your heartburn. . eat more Proteins (yeah I know your sick of that) like cheese, tuna, fish, egg (might not agree with you) yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. . . keep only soft foods in your new tummy. . .the hunger pangs are really not good, have those all the time, but that is something the nexium or prilosec should help with a bit. . . then face the fact your literally stuck with this thing and do the best you can to accept it and live your life. . . this is the best advice i can give you. . .been there, done that. . i've dealt with it, and now i carry on having lost quite a bit over the past 4 1/2 months. . . would I do it again? probably not, but am i glad i did it? yes i am. . . good luck and keep us posted. . . -
Globe, for my fast days I eat Greek yogurt for the first meal and boiled or roasted chicken, or a Kirkland turkey burger (35 grams of protein) on a salad for the rest. I can't do shakes and bars they don't fill me up very well, I need volume, but I'm no cook!

I'm 9 days post op. I'm sorry you are feeling hungry. On your full liquid diet can you have yogurt, pudding and cottage cheese? I can. I wouldn't say I feel full, but I'm not hungry either. Sometimes when my family is eating I feel a little pang, but it's emotional. I'm at McDonald's right now and my nephew is in the playland. My sister and he are eating and I sort of want it, but I'm managing with my unsweet tea. Today at Publix I found a Wolfgang Puck Organic butternut squash soup. It was really good and felt satisfied after I had a small amount. Keep trying different things and good luck. This part won't last forever.

Well since my last fill I have been very tight in the mornings and am only able to get down liquids and maybe some yogurt. I can finally eat around noon if I have been up and about but if I sleep in or lounge around then I can't eat until much later, maybe 2 or 3.

What is your favorite snack?
judy vsg replied to keyyzzVSG36's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
If you were a woman, you would have understood the joke the way it was meant to be understood. Lipstick lady was NOT commenting on your weight. Pregnant women have strange cravings and the classic joke about these cravings is "pickles & ice cream combo". You mentioned you like to have pickles with yogurt, which sounds similar. Anyways, how would she know whether or not you are "fat"? If you are on this forum, there's a good chance you are at goal! make it a great day -
I've been into homemade milk kefir for years (excellent natural probiotic source), and I like have a little of that with some blueberries or another type of fruit. If one has never tried it, it's like a drinkable yogurt, a little more sour though.

I'm being banded day after Memorial Day. So tomorrow starts my 2 week pre-op diet. liquids of course, but it includes other things like yogurt and popsicles and things like that. Soups with no "stuff" in it (strained, or even things like tomato Soup is ok). I'm confused as to why this would have any bearing. They didn't care about fat or carb content, just chunks of food. Pretty much anything strained or clear or things without chunks of food in it. And I have to have 3 Protein drinks a day - they said anything from Boost to Slimfast would be fine. Anyone else on a similar diet? It just seems weird to me. But then again, i guess I'm not all that educated on how the liver works and what would make it shrink.

start 2 week pre-op diet tomorrow
Comynara1 replied to dhall111's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just started my 2 week pre op diet today. It's supposed to be all liquids, low sugar. But I don't really like sweet stuff that much and the list is all sweet stuff except for Water and 3 or fewer servings of milk, yogurt or cottage cheese. I'm calling my doctor tomorrow and asking them what kinds of soup I can have. I found some completely smooth soups by V8 that look good: broccoli, butternut squash, tomato and onion/mushroom. They're supposed to have a full serving of veggies but they have no chunks at all.:thumbup: -
I ate some soft food, what's the worst that could happen?
tessy_85308 replied to Joshua Torode's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was on real food 8 days after surgery. My doctor didn't have a purée stage because he wanted us to start eating ASAP. I was sleeved on 12/21. I could eat eggs, chicken, turkey, fish, yogurt, beans, and cheese. There are more items this is just a quick list. I am not going to tell you what you need to do just what my doctor had me do. -
