I have been trying the pureed foods and I find that some go down far easier than others. I have been eating warmed up ricotta and yogurt without blending them. They don't go down so easy. I can eat maybe 1/4 cup before I have to stop. A few days ago I started pureed chilli (red beans, tomato and turkey burger) which goes down easier than the cheese or yogurt. I eat 1/4 cup of that and I am full for an hour or more. Today I tried pureed Progresso light chicken dumpling soup. I ate 1/4 cup of that and I was back for another 1/4 cup within 15 minutes. The soup seems to clear my stomach a whole lot faster than the other foods. Now I am worried that I will get hooked on the things that go down easy and side track my weight loss. I guess I will need to have some will power and keep it to one can of soup (2 cups) per day. Good thing it is only 160 calories.

10 day post op food intake
Billy363627 replied to vickie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
well to be honest with you I was on clear liquids for the first two weeks after surgery. the third week I was on thick liquids like yougurt and sugarfree pudding. I had sugery the 1st so I am a little bit further out than you but I am almost able to finish a yougurt I usually leave maybe a ounce left in the cup. For some reason or another yogurts with fruit seem to feel me up faster. When I eat vanilla yogurt I usually finish all of it. Any way so I guess if you are doing something wrong than I am too. So good luck I really don't think that either one of us is doing anything wrong. The most important thing is to eat really slow and listen to your body when it says its full put it down.. I think your doing well though.. -
Not enough time in the day
Tandybo replied to prnps's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm almost 7 weeks out and have many of the same issues. I work in a very busy medical clinic and simply don't have time to drink as much as I should. I keep liquids with me at all times, but find it hard to get them in. I'm also struggling with my vitamins and calcium supplements as they make me sick. I've started adding calcium crystals to my drinks and greek yogurt so hope this will suffice. As far as the protein shots from GNC... nasty stuff! -
Anyone else close to being under 300lbs????
Russost13 replied to Tess415's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Thank you for the support! You guys are doing great. How did you eat the 3rd week after surgery? My doctor told me to eat 4-6 times a day, oatmeal, cereal, yogurt, beans, potatoes, etc. soft foods, and protein shakes. I get the worst stomach aches when I eat soft foods, I have 2 shakes a day and eat one cup of soup and I feel better. I get my first fill on 7/21. I know I need to heal but I am afraid to eat that I will gain weight. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks -
What to expect day 1 post-op
kmorri replied to tobhappy&healthy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
One of the first things they do when you get to the hospital is you have to change into a hospital gown.....you can't have anything on under it. :-) As far as pain control while it the hospital it was wonderful!!.....I had a little button I could push and it would automatically give me really good pain medication....I could push it every 8 mins....well I could push it all I wanted to but it would only give me some every 8 minutes. They will want you to get up and walk just a few hours after surgery....You probably won't want to....but do it anyway! It will help you heal faster.....walk as much as you can! Your surgeon or bariatric team should have given you a food plan that tells you how and when to progress through each of the food stages....if they didn't then make sure to ask for it. Raw veggies are usually one of the last things you'll eat.....here's what my plan was Nothing the day of surgery Clear Liquids the day after surgery Full liquids day 3 through day 10 (full liquids included creamed soups, and yogurt, and cream of wheat, sugar free pudding) pureed cooked foods starting on day 10............and progress to soft foods as tolerated. -
Need to do a Costco run - Whats on your Costco Shopping list?
AvaFern replied to trekker954's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Lol, ok so this was my list from the other day. We have the program where they shop for your order at Walmart and bring it out to your car, so while it's not costco, I buy a whole pile of stuff all at once so I don't have to grocery shop. I bought 6 cases of diet Root Beer, 6 cases of Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper, 6 boxes of flavor blasted goldfish crackers, 3 giant boxes of Fiber One bars, 4 cases of Water, 10 packs of Crystal Light, steam in bag veggies (corn, peas, and caulliflower for calliflower shepherd's pie, and pepper and potatoes with light sauce), several Protein power packs (cheese and turkey chopped up for 2 year old with nuts in a pack) , ground turkey (for turkey burgers and shepherd's pie), sliced monterrey jack from the deli, sliced turkey from the deli (because they are good rolled up), and probably a few other things. I'm almost 3 years out and I know what I can and can't eat and that involves plenty of crackers and goldfish, and not a whole lot in the way of things like cottage cheese, yogurt, fruits, etc. Before surgery I would have had a lot of Lean Cuisines, which I now never eat, and some Cookies, which I also now rarely eat. My shopping list is by no means something most people think is something a sleeved person should be eating, but it's what works for me, and if anything it shows people that life does really go back to normal and boring after awhile. -
I did it last week for the first time. It worked really well! I fell off the wagon and needed to get back on. I did mostly shakes, soup, yogurt. I can tell the difference!

Got my date: January 21st
Jewelgirl04 replied to Fatdiva14's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Been recovering from some sort of illness that includes a sore throat, cough (which is just great for the stomach of course), stuffy nose, headache, and body aches. Unfortunately, that meant I couldn't tolerate much, so it was mainly liquids. I tried to get at least one Protein shake in for 30g of protein and then two string cheeses at 10g combined. I'd have a piece of soft cheese here and there, a little cottage cheese and yogurt as well to get me up to 60g. Sometimes, I could get down two shakes and wouldn't have to worry about the protein intake for the day. The worst is that I can't really take anything, save for children's Tylenol. That's what the doctor told me I can have. It helps a little, but it's not great. Luckily, I seem to be coming down from it now. Just a bit phlegmy, but not as out of it and exhausted as I was. Maybe the sickness is affecting me, but I'm finding it hard to stomach anything other than liquids now. The cheese is tolerable at best. Ugh. I've been craving so many things lately, like hibachi ANYTHING. Ugh. -
Just made protein ice cream. Used nectar chocolate truffle protein and Fage Greek yogurt. It was so yummy. I used a half cup of yogurt and one protein pack so it ended up having 34g of protein

Banded January 24..mixed feelings
~*~Rachel~*~ replied to jakrnsewing's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery on 1-25 so I am day three post op. Lets face facts this hurts! The worst part of it is the getting up and down and it feels like my neck is hurting from the gas pain I guess. I have a pressure under my sternum that I am guessing is the band swelling. I do not regret getting my band just hoping to feel better soon. I am focusing on just taking in liquids lots of water. But I am feeling dehydrated So I am really going to try and limit my salt today. I have been able to sip on some soup just for the calories. Protein is not an option at this point. I am getting a little by drinking a little milk and I am going to try and make a shake today but I just have not been able to do it. I bought some yogurt and strawberry and unflavored protein powder I am going to try and make a shake with and strain it. I also got some select harvest soups that blend up nicely and make about four meals to a can. I am staying on top of my pain meds and got a little nauseated last night after having them. All I can say is lets hang in there and the days hopefully will go by soon and we will feel better. I don't think anyone at this point is able to get everything in like they need to so I am not going to stress over it. I am just trying to maintain enough fluids at this point. -
What to eat for my birthday, at 5 weeks out????
tiffnie replied to daezeey's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
HAPPY (almost) BIRTHDAY! How about some low fat or fat free, sugar free frozen yogurt? Or maybe you can freeze some SF chocolate pudding? Ive never tried it but it should work. Top it with some fat free cool whip if you want to get fancy Im sure you can find some healthy desert ideas online, bariatriceating.com or allrecipes.com, maybe even weightwatchers.com Good luck! -
I had my surgery 9/2/10. Did great, I have lost 28 lbs. I have had 2 fills. Went couple weeks ago to get another and Dr. wouldn't do it. He said he didn't think I couldn't tolerate it and I had lost only 2 lbs. I did have trouble after the 2nd fill with things getting stuck. Had to really slow down and chew very well. Any way I have started to exercise a little. He wants me to exercise 45 min. 5 days a week. I am only eating my 1 cup. My tipical day - protein drink, yogurt, soup, cheese, chicken. Can someone give me some ideas on what I should do to get this moving again. Needing help/ideas. Thanks

Too much clear fluids?
sfdavid replied to disappearingme's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the same issue. Never threw up once or even felt nauseous and starting on day four post-op, I found I could drink pretty normal. A mouthful of Water swallowed in two or three gulps was and still is no problem. Even when eating I had no issue getting down at least a cup of full liquid food like greek yogurt, creamy Soups, Sugarfree pudding or custard. I was worried that something was wrong. I called my doctor and he explained that nothing is wrong and that the size of sleeve is not the issue at all. Everyone's anatomy is slightly different and my anatomy orientation (stomach positioning, length, etc.) is such that allows me more freedom than many other sleeve patients. He said I should consider myself very fortunate and then he added "just wait until you get to semi-soft foods." Sure enough, when I started on eggs, purred turkey, soft cheese, etc. BURP. Hello restriction! Now I get full after eating a half a cup of food. Dense Protein is my friend. Less than three weeks out from surgery, I am down 30 pounds! Hang in there and count your blessings. Your going to do great!! -
Too much clear fluids?
feedyoureye replied to disappearingme's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This has been my experience too gals. I can drink a lot (small sips, but pretty fast) and up to one cup of thinnish soup over maybe 30-40 minutes. I am getting in my liquid which I am very happy about. Glad to hear its not a restriction problem. I think we ARE lucky! I can tell when I eat greek yogurt that I start feeling "full". So far no pain or nausea...I hope i can keep it that way! -
How much do you eat?
PackersFan replied to mandyMO's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Luv, I think it's hard to answer this question because it really depends on how much fill you get, and how much resulting restriction you have. I don't claim to be an expert, but my experience after four fills has been that each time I can eat less at each meal. I'm not at my sweet spot yet though. I think I probably need maybe one more fill. I'm currently at 7.8cc in an 11cc band. But I still can eat probably 3/4 to 1 cup per meal (lunch and dinner) but I can only eat oatmeal or yogurt for breakfast. So I think I'm able to eat too much at each meal, and I do get hungry between meals from time to time. -
Hello Everyone, I would like to see if anyone has advice for me. I had my surgery on April 22, 2008. I lost 15lb before surgery and have only lost a grand total of 26pounds. They never explained to me that i would still be very hungry after i had this surgery. The first week after i was miserable. Ok fine i got over that. I was never able to eat chicken after the surgery ok fine i am over that. i had my first fill 6 weeks after surgery. It did nothing at all. My second and third fill was the same. I still felt hungry all the time:thumbdown: and could eat alot of food. although my choices are better i am still not loosing weight. I just had my fourth fill and i am at 7cc's in a REALIZE band. this fill has been very hard. The list of foods i CAN eat is very limited as aposed to the list of foods i can not eat. I have a hard time with eggs but if i have cereal for breakfast i am starving by 11am. I throw up alot and i dont ever feel full and i am not loosing weight. I have been eating good foods. i had eggs for breakfast, celery and cheese for snack, salad and yogurt for lunch and steak and beets for dinner. still starving. HELP!!! what do i do?

Hi All- I am on my first international business trip and I feel pretty crappy. I am a little over 3 months out and in my normal life, my stomach feels pretty good. The jetlag on this trip has been absolutely brutal. Also, when I eat in the morning and in the evening, I feel pretty bad. I re-timed my PPI so I am taking it in the morning, but Breakfast is AWFUL. I am eating yogurt with no chunks and it take about 30 minutes to get it down. I am relegated to yogurt because the thought of solid food in the morning makes my stomach turn. It feels like I am back at week #4. In the middle fo the day, it gets better. At night I am also uncomfortable. Anyone else have this problem when they travel? This, combined with the fact that I am not able to catch up on my sleep is making me pretty miserable. I am trying to see the silver lining - I am sure I'll drop a couple of extra pounds because I'm not eating as much :-) Also, I am drinking a little more Water than usual. --Queasy in the UK

Hey Mom, my surgery was 1 day after yours. I can only eat about half of the greek yogurt, but thats because I'm full. I am able to eat a half turkey sandwich on whole wheat, as well as a half of a 6 in. subway on wheat as well. When I eat those I feel guilty, (so not to often) but it's really not alot. I tried salad for the first time a few days ago and was only able to eat about 2 ounces of chicken and maybe a 1/4 cup of salad. At this stage I'm allowed to eat 1/2 cup. So thats where I try to stay if I feel full before, I don't finish the 1/2 cup. The tablespoon seems to little. My problem is finding time for exercise, which I need to start making a priority!!! I see the surgeon tomorrow so I hope I'm doing everything right. However, I don't write things down, but I may start just for my own good! Best of luck!

Hi, I am dreading dumping! I have experienced that because I had my sigmoid colon out. Sometimes if I eat salad or something I shouldn't I feel like I am going to die and sometimes wish at that moment I would, beacause of the symptoms you describe. It pisses me off even now so I am sure I will be double pissed if that happens! I had my preop ed class yesterday. They said in the 2nd stage to eat yogurt. But when I went to the store today (surgery is Monday) all of the yougurts I looked at had sugar. I looked for Greek-same thing and I didn't find any no sugar or splenda yogurt.. How did you handle that? Thanks for responding .

@Kindle I have to agree! I will be 6 mons on the 11 of June... I can do just shy of 1/2c of food - never more then that... I dont think i could even do a cup of yogurt... Truth... I am so glad i am not "normal" I never want to be "normal" again... I also will be sad the day i can eat more then 1/2c in one sitting... @Unhappysleever Hope you find some comfort fitting into your new "normal"...

How To Manage Work After Rny?
jenneliza replied to Christopher's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Mm me too! I love her recipes! I have been craving granola and how good would that be on Greek yogurt! -
So, I'm not having pudding and yogurt yet. Are those considered a liquid? I guess I could, but I'm not sure. I'm unclear about my guidelines. Liquids for 2 weeks, Puree/Mushy foods for 2 weeks. I thought yogurt and pudding was a puree/mushy? I am totally following the rules, so I don't want to do anything wrong! lol... But darn, I'd love a yogurt for dinner! :tongue2:
-
My post-op rules are: First two weeks: Liquids Next two weeks: puree/mushy Week 5 and on: start soft foods I had a 7up on my tray in the hospital the night of my surgery! I heard the nurses saying something like he'll flip out if he finds that out, that shouldn't be on there! lol.... I didn't think so, but I was too out of it on the glorious dilaudid.... ha! I think after a week I will go ahead and try a yogurt or a pudding. I'm doing okay with my shakes right now. And yeah, tuna sure sounds good, or a banana! Reminds me of when I attempted the LA Weight Loss Diet and I had to eat steak and broccoli at 9am, 12noon, 3pm and 6pm. After a few days, I just wanted a yogurt and an apple!

I had one tooth pulled a few weeks ago and the pain meds had my puking my guts up! maybe this is what was happening, but you didn't realize it! I wasn't heaving or anything just standing there and the sparse contents of my guts were coming out! needless to say, i took one pain pill and one antibiotic, didn't know which caused the issue. then switched to good old Tylenol and felt much better after having a yogurt! Hope your mouth feels better soon!!
