Anyone Else In The 350+ Pre-Op Weight Range?
Chicago1962 posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I weighted 397 when I finally got approved for surgery. I lost 30 pounds pre-op eating two shakes, some lite yogurt, and a McDonald’s southwest grilled chicken salad a day. I had my surgery on 6/12/12. It has now been just over three months and I have lost an additional 56 pounds - so 86 in all. I had various goals that meant a lot to me over the past three months. One was getting under 350. One was getting under 340 which is what I weighed when my mom died 19 years ago. Then it was getting under 320. Now it's getting to 307 which will mean 90 pounds lost. My other goals have revolved around movement. When I started this process I had to illegally park in the visitor parking at work each day. I simply could not walk from the parking lot - and could barely walk from the close-up visitor spots. I now park as far out in the parking lot as possible and even walk around the parameter of the very large parking lot several days per week at lunch. This has been HUGE for me. I cannot really see much difference in my body yet. 311 is still a very heavy body. But I can sit in a booth now. I have moved my car seat up several times. I no longer need my seatbelt extender. I can sit in outdoor plastic chairs with arms. My clothes are falling off me. My rings are too big. My bangle bracelets fit again. And my feet don't hurt nearly as much as they used to. I think I am craving some connections with people who are over 350+ because so many of the stories I read here are about people who weigh so much less. I realize we are all on the same journey - but those of us in the "super morbidly obese" category have a much longer road ahead - and I for one want to walk that road with some of you who know just what I'm facing. I'd like to hear your stories - support you - cry and laugh with you - and seriously do this journey together!!! Amy in Chicago -

chronic constipation
maudeispam replied to sprintman's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know what you mean about the constipation. Mine has really gotten worse since being banded. My dietician suggested Benefiber, that didn't work for me, also ground flax seed, it seems to work if you remember to add it to your yogurt or cereal, or whatever. I haven't really found anything that works great. I have however been drinking a large (16oz) or more of apple juice a day. That seems to keep things flowing. Best of luck. -

First check-up after sleeve surgery
Arabesque replied to Losewate's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It can be a bit challenging to find foods that won’t upset you. So sorry you had such a dramatic reaction to your first non liquid meal. Many think yay, real food & try to purée foods that their tummy can’t tolerate yet. Go slowly. Remember you are still healing. Try thicker soups first. I was allowed very soft scrambled eggs, rolled oats, yogurt & I found them easier to eat to begin I think because they were more bland & less stressful on my tummy. Just make sure your purées are still pretty sloppy. Only being able to eat very small portions is very common - think 1/4 - 1/3 cup. You’re eating denser food now & they take longer to digest than liquids which go through your tummy very quickly so you get full much more quickly. Personally, I still find mashed potatoes too heavy to eat - they sit like a lump in my tummy but every one is different in what they can tolerate. Good luck & congrats on your surgery. -
Well, I found out that I have a h pylori infection and my glucose was very high. I have never had any glucose issues despite having a strong family history if diabetes. The PAs were debating whether to put me on metformin but chose to recheck my a1c in 3 mos. The PA thought my chest pain could be related to my hiatal hernia repair healing, so I was prescribed levsin. I took about 3 yesterday and I took my first pain free sip of Water this morning! I'm so happy it's helping! Get this, I was prescribed prevpac for the h pylori which consists of 4 huge pills that are taken in the am/pm for 14 days! Umm no! There is no way those are going down yet! I am feeling better and better each day, my incisions barely hurt anymore. I am going to try to get some yogurt down today, baby steps! Thanks for asking! Awesome Cleo brown! I see many people has complications after. I'm glad u haven't experienced much besides the gas. How'd it go on ur follow up?

I'm almost 10 months post-op and am down about 80# give or take, which is 30# from my goal. I was stuck at about 163 for several months and am still struggling to get enough protein in. I've been in contact with my RD and she suggested smaller, more frequent meals to try to get closer to my daily protein goal. The problem is, I'm finding that since following this routine, I'm gaining weight and am now up to 169. I reached out to her again, and she is now suggesting adding a low-dose Rx med to the mix. I'm not sure how I feel about this. She wants me to eat more small, frequent, protein-packed meals yet is suggesting an appetite suppressant? Doesn't make sense to me. I've tried things like Builders Bars and can't finish one in one sitting. I've added Unjury Protein Powder to things like cottage cheese, yogurt & salsa, but that's only 22g - IF I can get the whole scoop in one day. I snack on stuff like string cheese (9g protein), but it's not enough. I walk 2 miles daily and am taking up swimming next week. I'm starting to feel like I'm never going to get over this hump. Anyone else ever been in this conundrum? On the bright side, my hair has stopped falling out and is growing back!

I am so f*cked. Rebound sugar and carb cravings.
ecugsplgrl replied to perfektlynrml's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I have found that using flavored syrups in protein shakes, oatmeal, yogurt etc helps with cravings. I add unflavored protein and maple bourbon pecan skinny syrup. my daughter likes the peanut butter cup flavor. Idealfit has many flavor offerings for protein powder and I also looked into bariatric foodie's protein shake cookbook, available on amazon as it has recipes for ice cream, shakes and desserts. Good luck! -
Hmm, I might have to give Greek yogurt a try! Does it taste similar in tuna salad and the like, or do you end up adding vinegar/mustard for more tart taste?

Try the four low carb shakes and one low carb yogurt every day and you will loose the ten pounds. Its not just the pounds but the shrinking of the liver so they can get to the stomach. I lost quite a bit once I did this.

What Do You Have For Foods And Drinks Daily? I Need Ideas Im Cleared Off For Regular Foods.
Oregondaisy replied to Karen2012's topic in Food and Nutrition
I've had a Protein Shake for breakfast every morning for over 5 years. lunch is usually leftovers from dinner. If not, I have Greek yogurt, lunch meat and cheese, sometimes 1/2 sandwich, sometimes salad with chicken mixed in, sometimes some sort of frozen lean cuisine but I don't eat the rice or Pasta . Dinner I make all sorts of stuff. Just regular recipes that my husband likes and I eat smaller portions without the potato or rice, etc. Meatloaf, steak, chicken fajitas, . I love those new cooking cremes with chicken or fish. -
I don't like dairy/eggs/fish! What will I eat?
Bluesky1 replied to TiredOfMyself's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
SO glad you wrote this topic! I am exactly the same, no yogurt, milk, or fish for me. They all make me sick. I am having surgery on Tuesday and I am really worried too. Seems like there are alternatives. Thanks again for asking! ???? -
I don't like dairy/eggs/fish! What will I eat?
TiredOfMyself posted a topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I don't like yogurt, milk, eggs or fish. Like I can't even choke them down. Am I going to struggle with finding things to eat after surgery? Everyone seems to eat eggs and fish! Thanks -
I feel you!!! You are not alone. I was starving myself during the first 2 weeks post op. I was drinking the Protein shakes and as soon as I hit that 15 day mark, I was scrambling an egg for Breakfast. The meal plan I received stated I should egg whites but I refuse to throw away good food. I have a shake for lunch and dinner I pureed a rotisserie chicken from Walmart. I just added chicken broth to the food processor so it wouldn't be so dry. I have tried the mashed potato flakes which was great with the purred chicken. When I feel hungry after all that I grab a yogurt or a Jello cup. It curbs the hunger monster for a bit. Hope this helps.

Has anyone spent longer time on liquid diet then what the doctor suggests?
jacquelynn.mclean replied to JessicaAnn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doctor had me (and other patients) on what they call "full liquids" for two weeks post-op. That was basically protein shakes, milk, and soup that can fit through a strainer. Then "soft foods' like yogurt and mashed potatoes after two weeks. Starting those things after a couple of days scared me...I wouldn't have been anywhere ready. I can't imagine that staying on liquids longer will hurt...I would think it'd only help! -
I don't like dairy/eggs/fish! What will I eat?
TiredOfMyself replied to TiredOfMyself's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Thanks so much for all the advice. It seems like all anyone talks about are eggs, yogurt and fish, I was getting freaked out at the thought of not being able to eat the "good" foods everyone else is having. I guess it's a stupid fear! -
I think half a cup of anything is too large of a serving at two weeks out. Fage yogurt is a great suggestion. Personally, I would pass on the cream of wheat as it won't help with hitting protein goals unless you mixed in protein powder.

Successful losers what is a days food for you?
mdrai replied to Liz1531's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I don't know if I qualify as a "successful" loser yet, but I feel bad that no one's answered you yet, so here's my .02: B'fast = 40 g Protein shake w/8.5 oz vanilla micellar milk, 1 scoop vanilla unjury Protein powder, 1/2 scoop low-carb chai tea & 4-5 ice cubes... yummy way to start the day w/a big bunch of protein! or an egg or egg-beater omelette w/a little cheese, maybe a veggie; slice or two of bacon... but it's the shake 9 times out of 10 lunch = usually 3-4 oz of soy "fajita strips" or "chicken strips" either on top of some lettuce w/1 oz cheese, a sprinkle of sunflower seeds, a few olives w/a little salad dressing... or the 3-4 oz soy "meat" w/ a couple T of diced tom, maybe a 1/2 small can of sliced mushrooms & a little cheese on top, all cooked together... or a veggie burger w/a slice of cheese, lettuce, tom, pickle slice... or deli "roll up"... tuna salad... egg salad... w/lettuce... dinner = a small portion of whatever main dish I make for the family (usually chicken or beef or salmon) + veggie (and I TRY not to have the bread/rice/pasta/potato, etc... sometimes I do... sometimes I don't...) When needed: Snacks = 1 oz low-fat cheese; 1 oz cashews; S. Beach bar; low-fat yogurt; pro shake; no-sugar popsicle or a skinny cow bar (very rarely)... That's pretty much it... I tend to be one of those folks who finds what I like & sticks w/it... so there's not so much "calculating" of the cals/pro/carbs every day... I can do it in my head... Best wishes! -

I can't believe it!!!!!! March 25th is the date
mmh498 replied to hopeinapril's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi-I am envious of all of you who get to eat actual food while on the pre-op diet. I am on liquids for 2 weeks before and then 2 weeks after, and it sucks big time. Still have to cook for the family and that is about to do me in. I won't cheat, but I could break down and cry real easy. How much freaking diet jello can a person eat and pretend it is real food? I don't understand why I can't have cottage cheese or yogurt. Ok, done bitching for now. -
I don't like dairy/eggs/fish! What will I eat?
JamieLogical replied to TiredOfMyself's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
As others have said: chicken, turkey, beef, pork, venison, cheese, nuts, beans.... There are many sources of protein still available to you. I'm 17 months out and rarely eat yogurt anymore (though I admit to relying on it heavily in my early food stages). And I only eat eggs if I am out to eat. Don't keep them in the house because they go bad before I get around to eating them. And I have HATED fish my entire life, though I do eat shellfish. -
Thank you Oregondaisy. I am frustrated but worse than that I'm riddled with anxiety nearly to the point of panic. I'm taking xanax (generic form) as needed, and I'm freaked out because I don't want to become dependent on an antianxiety drug, but I'm trapped. I can't go back and undo this surgery. I just want to be able to manage things. Since yesterday I've no desire for any food at all! Nothing appeals to me and when I tried to eat even a yogurt it made me feel ugh. Last night I tried some shredded chicken in broth and had to throw it out. I just don't know what is going on. I'd be interested in any additional message boards. I read the OH's message board for the vertical sleeve sometimes. Are there any others?
