Hi guys! I was sleeved a week ago today. Im so confused about what my body signals are now. The gas has died down (thank the lord) and I am feeling some hunger - typically when I wake up and if I accidentally go a long time without anything in my belly. How much should I be eating? I averaged 500 calories this week until today, when I worked really hard to get in a breakfast protein shake ( took 2.5 hours!), a 6 oz yogurt (split between lunch/snack), 4 oz. of cream soup for dinner and a pudding for snack. That seems like so much! My doc said yesterday that my stomach is 4.5-6 oz, but how do I know if I'm eating too soon inbetween meals? Or if it's too much? I was losing 2 pounds a day until yesterday so I thought if I bumped up my calories a little it might nudge my weight quicker. But I'm so confused. ????

Has anyone changed there eating before surgery?
MsBear replied to neesh's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
At my first evaluation with the nutritionist, she put me on a 1600 cal. diet. Since June 1st I have lost 37 lbs. My Dr. requires a 2 week liquid diet to shrink my liver. My banding is set for Oct 6th, so I started the pre-op diet yesterday. It includes 3 protein shakes, 1 sm SF, FF yogurt (no fruit), 1 cup Campbell's 98% FF cream soup, 16 oz. skim milk & minimum 64 oz. SF clear liquids (SF Jell-o, SF popsicles, broth, & Crystal Lite type drinks.) So far I haven't had a problem with it, but it's only day 2. I might say differently next week. LOL -
Protein Only
Threetimesacharm replied to drumking88's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
During my major weight loss phase I ate predominantly high protein foods: fish, turkey, chicken, cottage cheese, yogurt and cheeses. I did start to eat small quantities of non-starchy vegetables. I also have started to eat beans now but did not during weight loss, as you said chili is very high in carbs. Be careful eating pasta, rice and bread. I have found that carbs do create cravings and if I indulge in say too much potato; well I just want more! I don't eat bread pasta or rice and don't plan on it. -

I am glad to know I am not alone, in wanting something to eat. I picked up some protein shots which help a lot 2sips and I get my protein in 21 grams. The whole shot is 42. I did try some sugar free jello and I did feel full.I think I am gonna try some yogurt. -
I bought some oikos greek yogurt under the impression (b/c i didnt read) that it was fat free. it was not but it was the best yogurt i have ever eaten in my life and it has like 15 g of protein in it. (toasted coconut vanilla and cafe latte). it has 4.5 g of fat in it and im not even sure about sugar. anybody on here eat this? about how much fat do you eat per day?
-
i love the coffee flavored one too, but my nutritionist only allows dannon light and fit. the oikos has too much sugar (like 19g, i think?) so she said to take a few spoonfuls and mix it with regular greek yogurt so i'm still getting the taste, just not the sugar.

2 1/2 weeks out from surgery. Food ideas please!
Band07 replied to ChattyChatterton's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had mini bypass 4/23. Right now I pretty much hate all food. Nothing sounds good and I'm struggling to get anything in. I tried 1 scrambled egg with some cheese for the first time tonight. Besides that I eat yogurt, cottage cheese, peanut butter and my favorite right now is blended chicken noodle soup. Iv also had mashed potatoes and steamed carrots that were good. I'm thinking I'll try to add some runny refried beans later in the week. I had a few saltine crackers today with butter and just more less turned them into paste in my mouth to keep from throwing up and they helped a lot. I'm on antibiotics for pneumonia that I developed in both lungs after surgery and they make me very sick which is making everything much harder for me. -
2nd week munches
lisa0522 replied to joanne@millett3's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, I was also banded 5/14. I'm on the 2 week full liquid diet, its very difficult as I'm now feeling better and feel hungry. My husband made spaghetti last night for kids . . . I strained the ragu, added a bit of sugar and parmesan powder and slowly spooned about 1/4 cup. It helped me feel like I was eating again . . . but that's also likely high in sodium. I am allowed yogurt (without fruit pieces or seeds), puddings (you can add Protein powder and a little cool whip). Butterball chicken broth really is delicious, but again, probably high in sodium. Is anyone newly banded having trouble keeping liquids to 1/2 cup in 1/2 hour consumption rate?? I sure am! I hope that as long as I'm still trying to take it slow & tolerating it well, I'll be fine. Monday is puree day for those of us done on 5/14. Start planning your menus, maybe you'll feel like you're getting closer!! -Lisa -
11 days post op and frustrated
Letsgetgoing2018 replied to Letsgetgoing2018's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Hi there. Yes. Full liquids. Tried yogurt. I have to try different soups to give me more variety. I am missing meat. That’s the issue. I want to eat meat and I know that’s not happening. -
Post Surgery "Must haves"??
LB4Me replied to Matt Z's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
- Immediately following surgery, you'll want some chap stick or other lip baum. - PJ bottoms with a loose drawstring and easy to get out of (it may take you some time to get up and over to the bathroom, you do not want anything else delaying you from going - especially when on liquids!). - Plenty of pillows for propping up to sleep comfortably. - I sent my husband out for a probiatic yogurt on hand after a few days of not evacuating. I preferred this over other OTC drug methods. - A good book. I found reading easier than watching TV. Hope this helps. -
maybe a fill when I am in the green zone food doesn't call me..My problem is after lunch time so I make sure to have my yogurt with fruit sometimes and if it contuine I have some fruit...keep the junk away and only binge on the good stuff.

Well, I was able to sleep a bit better last night - actually was able to sleep for about 3 hours before waking up and having to sit upright for an hour before I could go back to sleep. The dry cough is still around - I think it is due to my throat being irritated from the surgery. At least that is where I really feel it when I do cough. I think most of the gas from the surgery has now passed - it's just the digestive gasses left that I'm used to (I have always been really gassy). I have not gotten the prescriptions filled yet for the liquid pain medicine (oxycodone) or the anti-nausea medicine. Today I do plan to go out, so may get them filled today. I am not supposed to drive for 2 weeks, but since I am living alone, that really is not an option. I will definitely take it easy when I do go out though. This is the first day that I really have felt that I could drive somewhere if needed. Jello was part of my Clear Liquids diet. Now I'm on full liquids/pureed which includes things like pureed eggbeaters, pureed Soups, applesauce, pureed cottage cheese, pureed meat in addition to Protein shakes and milk/yogurt. I think that is helping with me feeling a bit better.

messing up pretty bad. eating what ever I want. @@APURNELL welcome back - we missed you!!!! i think being on the board reinforces our new life in sleeveland "reminds" us of what we should be doing eating whatever you want??? KNOCK IT OFF!!! i can't imagine how hard it is to keep such a busy lifestyle/schedule while watching your eating habits too!! not that this helps you much - but i know other people like you somehow manage to do "everything" my hat is off to everyone with a family/kids/work/school etc. etc it must be very hard to do, but you can do it as far as your surgeon goes............ keep bugging his office i think its terrible they haven't returned your calls next time you call, emphasize that their are problems and you must speak to doc ASAP !!!! "remind" the office that you have tried to call doc on several occassions never returns your calls Do you have an "official" NUT?? if not will insurance help pay to see one even a couple times would help you "tomorrow" go back to basics with Protein shakes only that will give you a head start on weight loss whenever you "might" think of eating something you shouldn't DON'T DO IT!!! remember i'm watching you!! good for you that you know what to eat, portions etc but your situation/weight loss won't happen as long as you graze, eat whatever you want put a lid on it choosing the sleeve, doing your research i can tell you are a smart cookie Its easier said than done but you must stop eating all that crappp -NOW force yourself to start to follow the rules again do you remember them all? these are the basic rules i can think of drink 64 oz of Water a day stop drinking about 30 minutes before you eat never, ever, ever drink with your meals people have been shot for less don't drink for 45-60 minutes after you eat small bites eat very slowly chew thoroughly protein first chicken, fish, cheese, egg cottage cheese - yogurt watch your carb intake measure ALL your food keep track of EVERYTHING you eat be honest!! maybe use MFP since you are returning to eating properly my opinion only....(covering my small assss ) after you stop doing the Protein Shakes maybe daily eat 700-800 calories a day for awhile to help you loose more weight choosing to have WLS/sleeved shows you are a smart cookie remember - when you least expect it, i will peak in on you take care bud you can do this, i know you can good luck kathy

How do you keep from regaining weight and stretching stomach?
ElseeG replied to ElseeG's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thanks, All. Regaining is my new fear. I’m not a daytime grazer. My problem area is when I walk in the door from work. Instead of sitting down for an actual meal, I pick and pick and pick. I know I need to stop that. I’m going to try having a late afternoon snack like a yogurt or protein bar to keep from being so hungry when I walk in the door. I agree...it’s so easy to say, “I’ll get back on track tomorrow.” Another habit to stop. And the list continues...! -
Just a look at gastric bypass in other countries
Romaina posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I'm from Argentina and I'm at a week after my gastric bypass. It seems to my some of my experiences are a bit different mainly in the pre op / post op diet. I started dieting pre op with the nutritionist in my surgery team almost 7 weeks before surgery. The first 3 weeks were a solid diet of high protein low carb diet with no sugar or alcohol whatsoever. The 4th week it was alternating days of solid diets and liquid diet and the last three week just liquid diet. The liquid diet consisted of Breakfast: 1 cup of coffee and milk (fat free) with the protein mixed in Mid morning: 1 cup of sugar free yogurt Lunch: 1 cup of soup (low calories) + fruit shake (half a banana +milk) with protein added Mid afternoon: the juice of 2 oranges Afternoon : same as breakfast Dinner: same as lunch All of this plus at least 2lts of water I lost 26 pounds before surgery. I'm starting my 2nd week post op and during the first week it was just water, te, clear broth and sugar free jello (of course with the vitamins). The goal was to get at least 2 lts of liquid consuming 1 cup in an hour. Yesterday I was given the diet for the second week and it's kinda similar to the pre op liquid diet (with a but more powder protein added) with out the yogurt, orange juice and fruit shake (always adding the vitamins) I have lost 15 pounds since surgery day and really feel soooo full all day that I don't even crave anything else. I'll keep you posted on how thing progress!! Sent from my LG-H815 using BariatricPal mobile app -
I'm 18 months out and have had the same struggle. Right now I'm recognizing it and I'm eating proteins first. Yesturday I sore I wasn't going to eat any chocolate and I went to Trader Joe's and bought myself a chocolate bar.......Automatic without thinking. So no more buying chocolate for me........Will be more on top of things from here on out......One day will lead to another so I focus on protein now and just eating 3 meals a day......I do still drink a protein drink and will sometimes eat a protein bar for lunch...... In fact, yesturday I believe I ate way too much and ended up nauseous. Today I drank my protein drink and a little bit later ate a greek yogurt and I felt overly full and got nauseous. So I need to cut back on my serving sizes and not make myself finish it when I feel full. Back to basics.

Recommend your non chocolate protein shakes!
pancake1271 replied to Butter Britches's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I just found Core Power Vanilla is really good. It has 26g of protein in a 11.5oz bottle. I added yoplait blended greek strawberry yogurt and it was really good. That upped the protein to 37g. Its kinda expensive but is the only vanilla i found that I like that doesn't have a chalky or weird aftertaste. I 've only found it as a ready to drink. There is also a strawberry banana that I'm going to try. They also have chocolate that's really good too but since you're allergic to it, you don't care! -
Reasonable weight loss, excercise and a diet that includes dairy products will help the skin's own elasticity and should reduce threat of excessive saggy skin too. I'm including low cal yogurt in my plan and haven't had a problem so far.

I was the same way and my nutritionist recommend triple 0 yogurt it has 15 gm of protein and fairlife milk 13 gm protein. Mix them together in my blender bottle and then pour it in 9 of my 2oz cups and drink for the next 2 hours (I do this twice a day minimum and that yield 56 gm(s) of protein then I drink 4oz of milk to get to the 60 minimum). I struggled with the shakes and have about 6 brands in powder forms and the vitamins are just horrible. maybe you try that and see if that helps. She gave me another brand of yogurt but I forgot the name so for now I just use the triple 0 ( she recommended that as well). They have many flavors so you can change up the taste so you don't get tired of it. Let me know.

I was banded May 7th. I had at least one protein shake for energy a day. Mix it with 3 or 4 oz. of water, 2 ice cubes; makes it thick and cold. I also mix a dannon lite yogurt (5gm protein) and some vanilla extract, protein powder and spoon it for breakfast; it is nice to eat with a spoon. I just had a fill today, and am on liquids for a day, then soft foods for a day. You can blend anything on the liquid days for variety, such as chunky soups. Eating enough protein helps keep you full longer.

90 grams of protein a day---need ideas...please
No game replied to huligoo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I LOVED LOVED LOVED my premier shakes Drank them everyday for months after surgery past the point that I needed too.. Yeah I'm finally sick of them too. I try to eat Protein dense foods mostly like chicken and fish. But I also eat Fage 2% Greek yogurt everyday for an extra 20 grams. Good stuff and my new love. Oh milk makes you feel sick... Does All dairy then? -
90 grams of protein a day---need ideas...please
kathp replied to huligoo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My daily target is 85 g. I had my sleeve 5/13 How I do it (for what it's worth) During puree, they gave (my NUT) me some recipes for puree stuff and I did a Protein Shake for Breakfast and then ate either pureed homemade chili or deconstructed lasagna for the other two meals. Then cottage cheese for Snacks. Didn't count calories in the early stages. For soft foods, I did more like pot roast, and chili not through the blender. My Protein Shakes are whey isolate (Six Star chocolate) with plain light soy milk (just recently switched to unsweetened almond) some fruit (now that I can have it again) and PB2 (only 1T, not 2) I also love the unjury chicken Soup Protein. You might try that if you don't like the milky kind. Just don't overheat it (has instructions) or it will separate out. It counts as a "shake" I also did a lot of ready-to-drink Isopure - Blue Raspberry or Coconut. The others I found vile. I was eating greek yogurt until recently, when someone pointed out the carbs in the fruit. So my options were plain with MIO added for flavor, or cottage cheese instead. I like cottage cheese, so I changed. I eat string cheese. I've added back in nuts for snacks. I used to eat a lot of Ostrim, which is 96% fat free beef-ostrich Jerky. It's about 80 calories, and 14 g of protein. The skin isn't sitting too well with me yet, unfortunately. It's a decent snack, especially before a workout. Don't despair - there are days I actually exceed 90 g of protein! It can be done! the thing they don't tell you in advance is how much planning this takes. You just have to think about what you're going to eat for the whole day, or it doesn't work. Good luck! Kathy -
5 days post op, serious bathroom time...
teb replied to nprcowboy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had diarrhea for couple of days after surgery and called the dr's office. They said it was normal. After that came the most horrifying constipation!!!!! I think I found a way around that, I drink Yacult every night and have a Greek yogurt Activia every day. So nice to just wake up and go to the bathroom without a struggle and without taking that awful milk of magnesia!!!! -
Usually chocolate sometime vanilla if I want to add fruit. I can only have real pudding made for scratch since the additive in instant pudding is gives me hives and fake sugar does too. That's too much work so I just do the greek yogurt. oh and avocado+ a tiny bit of almond milk+ vanilla protein powder taste like pistachio ice cream. I add a dash of nutmeg. Soooo good!
