3/21/16 surgery buddies
Juhygtfrdsd replied to Juhygtfrdsd's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I feel very fatigued... I am sipping and eating broth, yogurt etc but i have no energy at all...by the time i get myself ready for the day im too tired to do anything! -
I worry that I will NEVER get past that point. I don't know what to tell you. Not only why did you eat it? But why did you even purchase said evil delight? I find myself lately buying things that have no business being in my house. Since when is trail mix (with yogurt balls and chocolate chips) part of a healthy diet? GRRRRR. I went to the store hungry. Like an idiot. pizza is particularly evil. It costs the same for a SMALL pizza as it does for a super mondo huge size?!?! Well DUH! Any good American knows it is better to get more for the same amount of money, right?? I mean it would be pretty stupid not to get the Most for your Money... UNLESS, of course, you are a Bandster.... But, gosh! It just seems wrong to pay the same amount for that tiny little pizza that you would for a big one... and you can always convince yourself that today is the day you will have the will power to put it away for lunch tomorrow.... I don't know what to tell you. I am SOOOO there with you. Hugs!!!

I don't understand the post op 2 week diet
hopingtolose2013 replied to hopingtolose2013's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I guess I'm so confused bc I was given two diets. One from the hospiyal program and one from my dr. My dr. Said ok to juicing...his nut also said ok to refried beans. However, I don't trust her. The hospital nut said no to all. I just wish I could understand how all that processed stuff was better for me than juiced fruit, eggs, and cooked well beans. I could take it better if I understood why all dr are different. I'm one that needs to rationalize it...and I can't rationalize being flushed of fluids bc I can only have processed soups, broth, and yogurt. I know this will end in one week!!! -
I don't understand the post op 2 week diet
TexasRed1978 replied to hopingtolose2013's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Count yourself lucky. My surgeon requires 3 weeks of liquids only. And he means liquids, no jell-o, no yogurt, no pudding, no purees, etc. His definition of liquids is anything that can go through a strainer easy; no lumps, no bumps. I have 4 more days to go! Of course he also said that in 6,000 procedures he's only had 2 patients with leaks, so I trust him. -
What do you “EAT”
RickM replied to Excitedforthesleeve's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Protein drinks are the staple early out; I would avoid that Genepro stuff as it neatly fits into the "too good to be true" miracle supplement scam category (and nobody really knows what it is.) Whey protein, preferably whey isolate, is the well accepted, best absorbed form. I also had greek yogurt, eggs, and some sloppy tuna salad, though those may not be permitted on some diets the first week or two - check with your program directions. -
Hi all! Oh goodness, I'm only on Day 1 out of 7...of my 'fat-free yogurt' only pre-op diet! I wish I had choices of soup or Protein shakes or something! I had 5 yogurts today & feel sick. This can't be healthy, can it? My hands are freezing cold as I type this, which might mean that my blood sugar is too low? I'm starving but I know I'm doing this for surgery next week. I think I'll go see if there's some fat free soup in the cupboard... Good luck to all on a pre-op eating plan!!!! (notice how i avoided the d word, diet? lol)

Pretty Darned Tight, Too Tight?
Cocoabean replied to ssdown's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Bobbi, If you call your doc's office number you should get an answering service who can page the doc if necessary. I was too tight for a couple of weeks, it is very miserable. I got to where eating yogurt hurt and I got stuck on mashed potatoes. When I hit the wall and couldn't stand it, I'd have called the office and asked to speak to my doc if it had been the weekend. For me it happened on Thursday and they got me right in. Don't fool around with it, vomitting can cause band slippage, and it's best to avoid that! Best wishes, Denise -
30 Day Challenge... get ready to kick some butt here!
sexyat44 replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I'm up for the challenge, so let me get my last scoop of yogurt ice cream out the freezer. -
great idea. I'll drink 64 oz of water, walk 30 min, eat yogurt for lunch and something healthy for dinner.

6 weeks post op and lost 35 lbs
TRock82 replied to Gianacruz's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi Giana, I'm also fairly new to VSG surgery at only 2.5 weeks post op. I know your frustrations, as I was previously a lap band patient several years ago. The main key is to keep the big picture in mind, your goal. Take one day at a time and don't beat yourself up over the past. I went to a wedding 1.5 weeks post op and the temptation to have BBQ, wedding cake and alcohol was unreal, but I know that I'm unhappy with how I look, so I sipped a Water and had a few sips of lemonade. As a reward, my husband took me to my favorite mexican restaurant afterwards, where I ordered chicken tortilla Soup and asked them to just give me the broth. It tasted the same without all the extra stuff that I couldn't have! Give yourself mini pats on the back like that! This is just as much a mental game as it is a physical and emotional one! I'm a nurse and I work 12-15 hour shifts so I understand how hard it is to balance. Have a water bottle at your desk and sip, sip, sip all day. Pack and preplan your meals and Snacks. If you have a sweet tooth, try the Chobani yogurt packs, they made new ones called Coco-Loco (come with sliced almonds and dark chocolate bits) and Key Lime Pie (come with graham cracker crumbles) and I promise they do not taste like greek yogurt! I drink a green smoothie in the morning that I love, it tastes like banana! It's 4oz spinach, 1c. diced pineapple, 1c. vanilla greek yogurt, 1 whole banana, 1-2 scoops any plain Protein powder and 1 tbsp honey. Blend, blend, blend and add a little ice if needed to make it colder. I'm still on soft foods, so my lunch is tomato soup with a little ricotta, and my dinner is scrambled eggs with spinach. Snacks are colby jack cheese sticks, yogurt, cottage cheese mixed with avocado (don't judge me lol) and applesauce with cinnamon. Find what you like and tweak it. The biggest thing to know is that you can do this! I believe in you! Let's get you back on track girl!- 1 reply

I can have scrambled egg, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, string cheese, purée tuna, purée chicken, shredded cheese on egg, fish, purée turkey. No apple sauce can have jello and pudding too. Was supposed to be eating all these things this past week. NUT was mad at me today for only so far being able to eat a half an egg a day. NUT wants me to eat these foods 3x per day plus 2 protein drinks!!!!!!

For my first few weeks during purree and liquid phases i did alot of protein powder. I got the lemon tea flavor nectar which i mixed with 8 oz of water and each shake is 25 grams. So with 2 i got 50 grams plus 16 oz of water. Also i used unflavored in a blender with fat free yogurt or sugar free chocolate pudding ice and pb2 powder. I could make a shake that was at least 35-40 grams that way. Ill have to try this app see how that works. Thanks.

1,000 calories a day & not losing
Quelyn01 replied to Quelyn01's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I avoid Pasta all together. Occasionally I'll have a slice of bread or 1/2c rice, and this is maybe once a week. Other than that, the carbs come from fruits and veggies, yogurt (Carbmaster yogurt) fat free cottage cheese etc. My work outs include both cardio and strength. -
1,000 calories a day & not losing
XXShelXX replied to Quelyn01's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm sorry you are having a tough time. But going back to old habits is really just that...a habit. Habits can be broken. You honestly have to ask yourself how much you want this. If you want it more than anything then you will have to get really strict. By this, I mean you need to be tracking everything. Eat your Protein first for real. Eat the 4-5 bites of dense protein (beef, chicken, etc) and then whatever room is left..and it won't be much, eat a couple of bites of veggies. By this time you should be full. This is for your two to three main meals. In between meals if you feel like you need to have a snack then maybe have a yogurt, steam a pack of Edamame, or peel a cutie (halo) and eat it slow. But seriously track everything! Losing weight is 90 percent what you are eating so it's got to be a problem there. Don't guess, track it. You can do this if you really really want to. In fact, nothing is stopping you. I say go for it! You still have a sleeve. Good luck! -
My surgery was Aug 1st
Candygyrl replied to Tonya2B Fit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@Tonya2bfit I had tons of noises post op. IT was quite embarrassing because I've always had a quiet gut. As far as hunger it may be hard to tell right now with being on full liquids. You may notice it less as your diet advances and trust me you will be able to tell when you're full which is why you want to learn early on to undereat your sleeve. When I was at your stage I was tolerating about 1/4 cup of soup, cream of wheat or applesauce etc. For something like yogurt, I'd eat what I could and come back to it after about 20 min to finish it off. in between, I was sipping Water, and Protein shakes. I will admit I was feeling this sort of spasm in my upper stomach that felt almost like a cross between a burp and a hunger pang. I didn't know what the heck was going on. It did calm down as time went on and I now notice it less frequently and ONLY when I haven't eaten for awhile. Make sure you are eating enough and make sure you are taking your Prilosec. I just learned about silent GERD so some of the symptoms you described may be related. -
Really freakin out right now!
jbperry21 replied to frazzledmomof2's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Don't be scared by this. I know I'm a little shy of 4 months being banded, so I don't have long term results to go off of, but listen to what she said she was eating with the excuse of it was the only thing that would go down. You don't have to eat ice cream, there's yogurt instead, you don't have to eat chips, you can eat something else. The lapband is a tool to help and we do have to take responsibility for whether it works or doesn't. It's not perfect, no, but neither is the bypass or RNY or DS or whatever. If people want to find a way around it, they will. I feel sorry for her that she's gone through all of this, but you'll find plenty of people on here who have been successful and who didn't vomit up everything. You have to retrain yourself on how to eat and it's hard, I'm going through that right now and I'm struggling. I still know that I shouldn't be eating red meat because it's harder to digest and dry chicken is hard to digest, but I can still eat chicken if it's not dry and I chew it well. I can get my protein through eggs or milk or something like that. Like someone else mentioned above I think, this is just a way for this doctor to try to get business. -
I'm a fairly new vet with a few questions. A bunch of anyone else questions. :D
Oregondaisy replied to LipstickLady's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
My restriction at 5 years changes all the time. It certainly makes a difference if it's hard Protein like steak, compared to say, egg salad. My meal amounts have never been my problem. It's my head that tells me I want something, and then I end up eating something healthy, like Greek yogurt, but still isn't filling. I still can't drink with meals or I will get sick. I have no problem waiting 45 minutes. -
Those Who Have Had The Band For A While I Need Some Advice/ Insight Please!!!!
journeygirl28 replied to journeygirl28's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks soooo much for responding. I thought I was failing at this. I always felt like I was over-full & forcing myself to eat. @Honk I'm allowed to eat soup, cottage cheese, fruit that is soft / canned in water or light, and Greek yogurt. I can usually only manage to get 1 1/2 protein shakes down and maybe some cottage cheese & fruit & that's with trying to drink water. -
mine is basically...Average 1200-1300, calories per day carbs 175, Protein 85, fat 12 g 2 shakes a day, 2 Soups a day (can have chunks), 1 yogurt, 1 pudding. I can add a similar meal if hungry, take away a meal if nit hungry. There are guidelines for the Soup calories etc, and the pudding has to be fat free and sugar free. Yogurt is no sugar added. I received a 14 day sample pre op meal plan which helped a lot. Some things alternated in week one: oatmeal, carrots, small apple. I have a sample meal plan for post op meal plan 2 weeks

Feel like I'm eating crap
chycky replied to charley27's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Icelandic yogurt is great as shared. There are many brands and sometimes it is called Skyr. It is smoother and not bitter like Greek yogurt. I wouldn't eat it all day because it has much more carbs -- I don't think I have ever seen it in plain flavor. -
taking pills after surgery
megansmommy123 replied to birdmadgirl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Your Dr will tell you what meds you should continue, or discontinue for a few days. Mine said if they are smaller than a pinky nail you could swallow them. But I chose to crush mine just to be safe. I crushed them and put in a spoonful of pudding or yogurt. -
feel no different and Soooo hungry
Woodstock girl replied to vjosie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded 12/29 and I'm going through the same thing. It must have something to do with the liquids going right through us. It's only temporary and I look forward to the day when I can start eating solids. I've been putting a bit of greek yogurt in my soup for extra protein - it seems to help a little. Or try some plain greek yogurt with some banana protein powder - tasty, and greek yogurt has twice as much protein as regular yogurt. I hope it gets better for you. -
Preop diet to shrink liver
lucky8mb1 replied to Huntingnurse's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doctor didn't want it to be liquid only unless you were over 300lbs. My pre-op was a combo of light eating (egg, yogurt, lean meat, veggies) and protein shakes. 2 shakes, 2 light meals. I lost 16lbs in 2 weeks and my doc said everything looked great during surgery. -
Ajayb I was allowed fat free yogurt, diet soda, 1 cup of raw veggies a day, all the broth I wanted, water, protein shakes, 1 cup of canned fruit, and SF pudding or jello.
