OMG! what was I thinking? I am totally beating myself up right now! The hubs asked for eggs, bacon and pancakes for Breakfast. So, I made it for him. I had a yogurt about 3 hours before, and was a little hungry. He left a pancake.....a small one......and I ate it. I planned to just "taste" it. But...I ATE IT!! I have not had any simple carbs in about 6 weeks (maybe more). I don't plan to make this a habit, but I have to admit, it went down way too easy, and now I know it's not a good thing for me. Maybe this will break my stall.

While 1/2 c is typical in the beginning, you will be able to eat more as time passes. At 5 months out and 70+ lbs down, my work lunch is often something like a few slices of deli meat and a low fat Greek yogurt. I eat with the same folks everyday at work and they know about my surgery. I simply said "this is what I'm doing, so this is what you'll notice". No biggie. They were more curious than anything else and had questions which I was happy to answer. Now people who know me realize I don't give a rats *ss what they say so I have had no negative feedback. That may be a factor LOL Seriously, if I want medical advice I ask my surgeon and nutritionist. No one pays any attention to my food at lunch. Much too busy enjoying each other's company ????

I'm June 10th and I am nor doing Protein shakes pre-op. I've been doing 3 oz protein, Vegi's, and a starch for the past 5 weeks. I've lost 20 lbs so far. I have Kaiser insurance and they don't do protein shakes even post-op. It's clear liquids for 3 days, then blended soft foods for a week, then slowly adding textured foods. This sounds way different from what other doctors and insurance require. Does anyone else have Kaiser with a different food plan? I don't have Kaiser, but I have a similar post care food plan. Day 1-3 clear liquids only Day 4-14 Full liquid diet, which strangely includes things like yogurt and string cheese. (Those are liquid?) Day 15-4 weeks Soft food diet, everything should be moist. Including cooked veggies, deli meats, canned chicken or turkey. Weeks 5-12 is protein first, then vegetable. 70% protein, 30% veggie. And mine says "do not use protein supplement shakes unless recommended by your surgeon. Dietiicians and trainers are not your surgeon!" So sounds like we have a similar post op diet?

I've had skim milk in my protein shakes everyday since a few days after surgery. I don't have any problems with it as well as yogurt or cheese. However, I don't tolerate whole milk well now. It give me heartburn, so I avoid it.

Thanks for sharing. My lunch group is pretty healthy and already aware of my eating changes however they don't know about my possible WLS. I just think 1/2 cup...that's like an apple or half a yogurt. I know they will get on me about not eating enough food. I don't want to share my decision with them and maybe I am naive to think I can just go unnoticed. I thought since they have seen me the last few months radically change my diet and exercise (usually go for walk with a few during lunch and started jogging) my weight loss wouldn't be that viewed as extreme. They are super supportive so I know they will get on me about "not eating" fearing it was an eating disorder. Going out to a restaurant is not an issue, I've managed to figure out what to order. I feel that even if I get a side salad I wouldn't even be able to eat half of that and how will that make the person sitting with me feel about eating their "normal" side entree. I worry about their feelings especially if they struggle with their weight. I know I should focus only on me at this time in my life but I can't help but think of making others feel awkward which in turn makes me feel awkward (still about me...lol) . Like eating steak in front of vegetarian. Will I be giving up having meals with friends? I know you can't have it both ways...eat "normally" like others once every 2 months (this how often I go to a social event/gathering like birthday, etc)

Those celebrations have become about the people and the conversations, not what or what amounts of food I can eat... that is actually liberating in a way. I haven't felt awkward during work lunches at all. Everyone knows I had the surgery, but even if they didn't it really isn't that odd for a person to just have some yogurt or something small for lunch. I really don't pay that much attention to what others bring for lunch, or how much of it they eat... so I assume they don't really care much about what I am eating! If you are with people that don't know you had WLS you can always just say "I'm not very hungry, I had a late lunch".

I could not tolerate milk postop (gave me sharp pains), but I could eat Greek yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese and whey protein just fine. After about 4 months my intolerance resolved and I could drink milk again with no problems. I also could not tolerate artificial sweeteners and plain water, but after 4 months I had no issues with them either (although I prefer the taste of real sugar, stevia, honey or monk fruit over the artificial crap)
-
I'm coming up on 7 months postop. I personally have had no issues with milk or yogurt. Greek yogurt is a staple for me. I hope you have positive results with your choices. I always selected Greek yogurt and skim milk. I even do soy or almond milk at times. Hugs of support

I've heard post surgery horror stories about people not tolerating milk postoperative. But if I can handle yogurt, should I be able to handle milk?
-
Same here. I even had to take MOM just to go every 3 days and it was super hard....even caused bleeding. Once I started adding insoluble fiber to my shakes and yogurt, I've had regular, soft daily BM's. For me, soluble fiber like Metamucil and benefiber did nothing. It had to be insoluble fiber. I currently use a mixture of ground flax seed and Now Foods apple fiber.

Having to urinate all the time!
Sara51692 replied to sarahlyn's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@kimby1029, I feel the same way about warm liquids. Cold liquids seem to give me worse stomach cramps but warm liquids seem to do just fine! Yogurt excluded, since that seems to be OK for me too. -

What is one guilty pleasure you cannot give up
Alex Brecher replied to AussieSam's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Ice cream…but I try to keep it as a “pleasure” and not as a “guilty” pleasure. I try to plan for it and have it only when I really, really want it, and savor it as I eat it. Then, hopefully, by the time I’m done, I’m satisfied. I’ll have ice cream a few times a year – sometimes something healthified, like frozen yogurt or low-fat ice cream, but sometimes the real thing. -
My surgery is on June 17th. I plan to start my pre-op on June 1st. My diet will be 2-3 Protein shakes per day plus 1 healthy meal which includes chicken or fish and a salad w/ lowfat dressing or certain vegies. The third shake is if I am still feeling hungry, along with a very small amount of greek yogurt, sliced cheese, almonds, etc as a snack. I will stick to 2 Protein Shakes and 1 light meal each day if possible. I don't plan to eat more than that unless I am really starving ! I am getting nervous now that my surgery is just around the corner. This site has helped me tremendously.

Did they really take half my tummy?
Sara51692 replied to sparkles1971's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can eat a whole thing of yogurt but it takes me almost an hour to get it down, same with a protein shake. And I haven't been getting anywhere near 64 ounces of water yet! I'm four days post-op. -

Pudding and yogurt are full liquids. -
Did they really take half my tummy?
sparkles1971 replied to sparkles1971's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can easily eat a whole yogurt or pudding 100g container also. I think because pudding and yogurt (except Greek) are both quite thin maybe it is more of a "full liquid" than a solid? -
It's been 6 months since my original gastric bypass, which I then had reversed to a sleeve about three months ago. I still cannot eat without vomiting and pain. Sometimes, some days, I can do yogurt or a pretzel. I sometimes can handle cheese and Soups. But there are many days I can't. I haven't had more than 300 calories a day in six months. With the sleeve everything hurts and feels like it gets stuck and I have to make myself throw up to feel better. Anyone else experiencing an inability to advance their diet at three months?

Gain weight....on purpose.
shiftymcgee replied to shiftymcgee's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm allergic to whey and since it seems to be in everything I don't handle shakes so well. I do make a shake with blended cottage cheese and yogurt tho and it's quite good. I can eat great or like a trashcan and it doesn't seem to matter. I fluctuate up and down two or three pounds. I need to gain back quite a bit of fat as I'm having the fat sucked out and put into my bum. I don't want bum implants so I gotta get some fat on the go. -
I unfortunately do not have your problem. We are close to the same weight but I'm about 4inches shorter. I don't gain much weight when I eat junk either, but I do gain weight if I really focus on Protein and not on calories. Maybe try adding a decent Protein shake to your day. Use a blender and mix in almond milk, Greek yogurt, PB2 or even real Peanut Butter if you want more calories, and a good Protein powder mix. This can easily add 500 calories to your day. Also, you don't want to gain 20 pounds of fat before plastics. If you get plastics first, you can add muscle and your skin will look great, however if you just gain 20 pounds from eating junk, after plastics you will look fine, but if you lose that weight you may not like your results as much. If I could have had plastics at the weight I'm at now, I would have, although honestly, I was about 25 pounds bigger when I started my procedures and I really don't see much difference than I imagine would have been the case if I waited until I was smaller. I would have changed my boob implant size since now they are a little too big, but that's about it.

The FEAR, that RNYGB won't work?
TXMissy replied to pinkie1's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I just hit 6 weeks a couple of days ago and things I was eating are not going down as easily. I just started regular foods. I am not eating as much either. I don't have a choice. I was able to eat almost a whole cup of yogurt a week ago, now a few bites and I'm done. It's weird! -

Im tired of eating meat and eggs Is there anything else i can have and still lose the weight?
Djmohr replied to Lorenita Vee's topic in Vegetarian or Vegan Eating
I am one of those people that have never been a huge meat eater but I do eat some. I drink a premier Protein shake every morning, it has 30 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar. I also eat cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, protein enriched granola, salads with different Proteins on them, beef jerkey, nuts, vegetables and fruits. If I ate Beans that would be another valuable protein resource. I stick to healthy meats and quality vegetables and I don't get hungry. It is when you eat too many empty calorie carbs when you get hungry. The pouch test is absolutely the way to go to get back on track. I would suggest giving it another try. Good luck to you! -
For sleeve veterans
Jb1176 replied to gettingtothenewme's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Seven weeks out. I don't feel much restriction. I have to weigh all my Protein or I know I'd eat too much. The lack of restriction REALLY concerns me. If it were not for the kitchen scale I'd be in big trouble. Usually two eggs scrambled or a Premier Protein shake for breakfast. lunch is usually 4 ounces of cooked chicken, tunafish, grilled turkey burger, left over hamburger from night before. dinner is 4 ounces of protein from something that had a mother and 1/2 Cup of cooked vegetables. By my calculation I'm taking in between 550-800 calories a day. I'm sure I'm getting in 60+ grams of protein. At night my treat is a cup of sugar free Jello. No dairy, nuts, Peanut Butter, almond butter, bread, Pasta, yogurt, sugar, or other carbs. Next week 1/2 cup of fresh fruit is added once a day but not at the same meal as the 1/2 cup of vegetables. I'm getting in 60-80 ounces of Water each day and walking three miles seven days a week. I don't feel strong hunger pains and don't have heartburn so no antacids or Pepcid is needed. I do take three bariatric Vitamins a day and one Co-Q 10 capsule a day. I know I could eat more and so I've conditioned myself to weigh every ounce of protein.
