Lap Band + Plication. Just Got Back From The Hospital.
NWgirl replied to guitar4life3000's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
For the drinking, I was told to try for 3oz every hour or so. After surgery, I was required to drink 1oz every 15 minutes. I am drinking just fine, but because the nausea am not drinking too much. I am also allowed full liquids starting today.this includes cream soups, yogurt w/out chunks, low sodium v8 juice, protein drinks, blended and strained soups, sugar free jello/pudding. And of course broth too I did find that Lipton cup-a-soup cream of chicken is a delicious alternative to broth. -
Tips on Kicking Sugar to the Curb?
Bufflehead replied to It'sMeAnonyMouse's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was given a carb ceiling, and it didn't matter whether they came from fruit, I still had to stay under my ceiling. I wasn't allowed any grains, refined sugary treats, or high carb vegetables (potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc.) no matter whether I could have shoehorned them into my daily carb/sugar allowance or not. I could have eaten fruit like bananas, but they are so high carb that if I had chosen to do that, there is no way I could have eaten things like yogurt or beans that are much better for you than bananas are. So, you might try counting how many grams of sugar you are getting overall, no matter where they come from, and see if they fit into your daily allotment. Good luck! -
Yesterday I got the ok from my team to move onto all foods as tolerated but more specifically, raw fruits & veggies, nuts, grains (if I choose) but not potatoes, rice, bread..... So I have had fresh blueberries and a cutie mandarin so far and did fine with both (last night/today). It was heaven! LOL My question is....even though I dream of a huge salad with tons of veggies and a little chicken...(I know that isnt happening)....how did you start incorporating fruit/veggies (mainly raw veggies) and still hit your protein goals. I know protein first for life and I will keep that up but I really want to try having some veggies. I will prob have 5 small meals a day (plus a shake spread out through the day) and I was thinking of trying hummus and carrots tonight for my last meal. I also will have cooked vegs with my meals more if i can fit them. Fruit is pretty easy cuz i can just toss a few berries in my yogurt. TYIA

@@readyforchange15 - WHERE ARE YOU!!!! It's almost time! What did you eat today? The only restriction is not to eat after midnight. My husband made pancakes this morning. I felt guilty. I've had a gallon on Water, some yogurt . . .and probably some turkey chili for dinner with a light salad. My heart is racing. The support here is amazing . . .so I don't think I'm nervous anymore . . .just anxious with a tad bit of excitement. -
It took me a while to get used to Greek yogurt. I hated it at first. I still really don't like Chiobani. It's too sour. I love Fage. It's much milder and I can actually eat it plain. So if you don't like one brand you may be surprised if you try another. My all time fave is Oikos honey but its a little too sugary so I don't eat it much (ate it pre op) but it is amazing!
-
You try the light and fit Greek yogurt also! It's really good and also has the fruit on the bottom
-
Try adding sugar free syrup (like they use in coffee shops) to plain greek yogurt, or blending with a fruity protein powder. I was on a kick for awhile of greek yogurt and cherry or banana protein powder. Way lower in carbs and sugar than the flavored varieties.
-
Interesting...(rubs chin) LOL....it does sound yummy, I'm not sleeved yet but have tried several diff Greek yogurts...thumbs down on all so far! Maybe mixing it up is the secret.
-
I'm not a fan of Greek yogurt, however today I bought Dannon's Greek yogurt. I have to say that I was very impressed. It was black cherry fruit a the bottom. I will definitely buy more of these!!! The ratio if protein/calories in Greek yogurts vs. regular yogurt is worth trying it!

Anyone Getting Sleeved On Leap Day With Me?
Dea replied to aldmb2's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I checked, I can't have tuna or eggs until at least 2 weeks, but I can start on yogurt and ricotta tomorrow. YAY. Somehow I managed to pull a muscle near my sorest incision. Ouch. And I'm having a reaction to the iodine stuff they clean you with. Oh well, minor issues, hopefully I won't have any major ones! -
Anyone Getting Sleeved On Leap Day With Me?
andi0120 replied to aldmb2's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have to stay on liquids until two weeks. After that I can add on thicker liquids like pudding, yogurt ect. I did order the unjury powder online and its helping me get my protein in. The chicken flavor and the plain. Chicken blends in great with soups and its 20 grams. The plain gets mixed in with water and crystal light. So confusing how all the doctors have different diet plans. -
Hi Alisa - I usually get about 1200 calories in a day. I was at 900-1000 for a while but I just wasn't losing and my nutritionist suggested I increase my calories, that has made a huge difference. While it's not specific here's what I usually eat for my meals: B: 3-4 ounces of Protein or 1 square of eggbeater egg bake 1/4 to 1/2 banana L: 3-4 ounces of protein (beef, chicken, fish, etc) a dairy (low fat yogurt) D: 3-4 ounces of protein 1/4-1/2 c of veggie Now that I have restriction my amounts have decreased a bit, but I still have no trouble reaching my calories, usually 1100 is about the lowest for me. Hope this helps some. If I can help further, feel free to message me!

I'm not the guy to ask lol. I have never watch the amount of fat I eat. I figured if my Protein, carbs, Fiber and daily calories where met, combined with how little I was eating, that the amount of fat would be at an acceptable level. I have been on somewhat of a keto diet for the last couple months. I figured with so much carb restriction its ok to up the fats a little. I would estimate my fat intake to be below 30g per day which is still more than half whats recommended on a regular diet for a guy. I can't stand the taste of fat free or low fat items. I choose top sirloin and chicken breast, both pretty lean, as my main protein choice along with whey isolate. I eat at least 1 big bowl of salad a day and add 2 table spoons of dressing. A decent amount of my daily fat intake comes from the salad dressings I use. They are not low carb or fat free but they do have relatively low calories compared to most. A whopping 8g of fat though per tablespoon. I use anywhere from 2-4 daily depending on how much salad I eat. I use a powdered creamer for my coffee. It has only 1g of fat per heaping tablespoon. I also have a small collection of torani syrups I use to change the flavor in my coffee up a little... also add it to greek yogurt. If your staying below your daily macro requirements I dont see any harm in adding a fresh full fat creamer, although I assume that's a lot of added calories for just a little fresh cream that can easily be substituted with some powdered creamer. If you can stand the taste of the low fat products by all means... I stay away because I hate the aftertaste and can still maintain my macros while eating full fat foods. A paleo diet sounds awesome, although I dont like the no grains or dairy most paleo diets restrict. I think the less processed the better. I eat regular meat but my chicken breast and all veggies are organic.

Are all calcium citrates really gross?
catwoman7 replied to Klolojadie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
you could also check into Upcal D. It's a powdered calcium citrate that you can mix into food. It's kind of sweet, so I usually mix it into yogurt. Supposedly you can mix it into beverages, too, but it doesn't dissolve all that well - I have to keep shaking the drink before I take a swig....otherwise, the powder just collects on the bottom of my blender cup. I actually take calcium citrate in several forms - usually Upcal D in my morning yogurt, a couple of tablets at work (around lunch time), and a Bariatric Advantage chew or Calcet Creamy bite after dinner as my "dessert". I figure I'll absorb at least one of these forms.... -
Hello, I am 13 days out and just came from my after surgery check-up. I've been eating small amounts of chicken, tuna, greek yogurt and mashed potatoes since day 9... I told my doctor and he wasn't at all mad, he actually told me that it was fine as long as it wasn't causing pain or nausea. Good Luck!!

What did you eat for breakfast on pureed
Sleeved in Seattle replied to kim2002's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm eating a 1/2 cup of Fage 0% yogurt with 2 scoops of Syntrax unflavored Protein powder, a tsp. or two of unsweetened soy milk and a bit of Equal to give it all a bit of sweetness. (Not looking forward to getting my sweet tooth back!) -
Looking for sleeve partner 11/23
TheNiceVoice replied to readyforchange15's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Checking in! I spent 12 hours at the ER a few days ago due to dehydration. I had an indescribable pain on my left side. It hurt every single time I inhaled. I didn't want to take pain meds - but had no choice. I seem to be doing a lot better. I'm eating creamy Soups, yogurt and cottage cheese. Being able to add variety to my diet has made me so much happier. I have diabetes . . . so my blood sugar has been SUPER LOW . . . and I'm frustrated that my doctors have not given me specific instructions about how to handle this because I can't eat! Also, I'm on a host of meds that require food when eating. So if I can't eat, what do I do? Doctors have been vague with their instructions. I have a dietician appointment next week. I know it's early, but how much have you all lost? I'm 12 lbs down. -
Need some opinions!
JerseyGirl68 replied to sarahzamudio1091's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Both Yogurt and Sugar Free Jello/pudding was on my list for "Full Liquids" Are you only supposed to be on clear liquids? If you get a clear idea from your surgeon or Nutritionist what you can have it might open up your options and make it easier to stick with the plan they laid out. I'm also of the opinion that we should stick with what the doctors have instructed. It is confusing and at times frustrating that some progress faster, but none of us have the entire story as to why the doctors instructed another patient to do what they do. You can do it, Good luck! -

Need some mushie ideas....please
Kas-e replied to mama59's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doctor had me stick with only one food per day to see if it agreed with me. I hated it. I never want to see pudding or yogurt again...for now. I'm now on small "normal" foods and enjoying hummus especially. I believe that was on my week two menu. That adds a kick of taste to your mouth. Keep up the great work! -
I was sleeved on the 5th but today was the first time I had "issues" with my stomach feeling queasy... I ate the normal stuff that I had been Greek yogurt, string cheese, oatmeal, chicken soup. Not sure what's happening, I'll try again tomorrow. I need to get with aNUT. Havent had the opportunity to work with one. I sttended 1 meeting a week before my surgery and I was given some papers to follow and I followed them to a T but not quite sure what to expect or do from here on out. My nut wasn't very approachable, so I was put off and did all my research on line and thru this site. I think I need to buck up and try to reapproach her. But I am down 40'lbs as of today. Not quite sure if this is the norm, but I am happy with it! It's been years since I was below 400. Day of surgery I weighed 421.9 and today 378.8
