1 am rambling: nightime reflux/Carafate
ouroborous replied to ouroborous's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yeah I've been eating yogurt -- I don't think it's helping much. I've been taking Omeprazole daily... I don't remember which PPI that's generic for, but I'm pretty sure it's a PPI. I've been taking 40 mg, but the doc hasn't been really clear on what dosage I SHOULD be taking. Since I still can't swallow the generic (time release) pills, I've been taking capsules opened up with some Water, in the morning. I can choke down the Carafate (it's actually sucralate -- generic Carafate), even though it's sort of gross and annoying. The more annoying part is that the timing is so picky. You have to take it an hour or more before a meal, or 3 hours after. You can't take it within 3 hours of omeprazole. Juggling all of the pills I'm taking just to keep my acid reflux under control is a real bummer, but otherwise I wake up choking on acid, and every single meal produces reflux. I REALLY hope this isn't a "forever" thing, or I'm going to be VERY bummed out. -
omg I was just logging in to post something very similar. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO and am almost in tears. I had my surgery exactly a week ago, it was textbook. He said I didn't even bleed inside. I hardly needed any pain meds, I didn't have any of the dreaded shoulder pain from the gas. I'm doing *great* considering I just had surgery. I went from clear liquids to full on day 2, and to pureed foods on day 5. I went to the movies 3 days out and to a college football game on Saturday. All of this while feeling restriction and not being hungry. People ate popcorn and all kinds of stuff around me and I was fine. But all of a sudden yesterday, day 6, complete STARVATION. It just hit me all of a sudden, any restriction I had (from the swelling) was gone and my stomach wants food. I'm still on pureed foods but was wondering when it would be safe to move to the mushy "real" foods. Like maybe scrambled eggs? All I'm eating is creamed soups, hummus, yogurt, mashed potatoes and of course protein drinks, and I'm sure to put on weight with all that starch. The biggest problem is, I don't know what to do after I'm back on real food! I'm scared, I'm terrified, my doc doesn't give the first fill for 6 weeks. Is that normal? I went to the nut. info thing and it all seemed reasonable.... provided I have restriction, which I don't and won't. I used to be on Nutrisystem and have tons of food left, i was thinking maybe I should just do that again till my first fill?? I am literally starting to freak out, helpppppp.

I talked to my Dr. again yesterday and told him I had only lost 1 lb in the week and he got really mad! He insists I am doing something wrong and that I should be consistently loosing 5-7lbs each week for the first 3 months. I can not figure out what I am doing "wrong". I am drinking 100 oz of Water per day, eating 100 g of Protein and only eating plain greek yogurt, cottage cheese, tofu and egg. To me it just seems that everybodys body react differently and maybe mine is just slow to loose... i wish he would have this surgery and can see if he looses 1lb per day!

I would say 1 yogurt, some refried beans and 1/4 c cottage cheese. It was difficult to eat still.

1 am rambling: nightime reflux/Carafate
Tiffykins replied to ouroborous's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Carafate sucks whole or crushed, I hate those pills. I'm sorry that your acid is on overdrive, and I hope you get some relief soon. Can you have yogurt yet? Maybe the good bacteria in yogurt would help get things under control. I haven't ever dealt with acid since being sleeved. I had a couple of weird episodes early out that gave me this twinge after eating. Once I went on Prilosec once daily, it resolved. I have had a couple episodes of "breakthrough heartburn". I chomped down on a Pepcid complete and it was resolved. It happened because I chowed down on a bunch of jalepenos and this chipolte ranch dressing. Can you crush up the Carafate and mix it in some sf pudding? I can't remember the dosing instructions such as if it should be before/after a meal, or without food. But, maybe you could mix it in a tablespoon of sf pudding, or yogurt to choke it down. -
Pureed food...what did you eat?
erp replied to st2011's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Carbs from healthy sources like veggies are a-ok. I couldn't stand most pureed foods so I ate instant mashed potatoes, yogurt, apple sauce etc. during that stage and I am down two clothing sizes five weeks out. I made my instant potatoes without butter and added powdered milk to the liquid milk to up the Protein. When I make mashed potatoes from scratch, I make them with cottage cheese, the hot potatoes melt the cheese into gooey cheesiness and I get more protein that way too. We eat so little at this stage that 2-4 oz of potatoes or another carb won't derail you as long as you get your Water and protein in first. Stalls are normal, don't worry, you're doing great. -
Recommendations for treating an upset stomach?
abefroman329 posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I’ve had terrible diarrhea since Sunday night or so (had to get up several times in the night). Today I packed Greek yogurt, applesauce, and the mixings for a protein shake. Had dry toast for breakfast. Any other recommendations? Normally I’d do the BRAT diet but the R is out till tomorrow. -
I am 4 days post-op and had no problems until today. I have felt like I have a lot of air in my stomach since the operation. I've been taking in liquids - protein shakes, juice, etc. in moderation. 7 to 8 hours ago I had a yogurt smoothie and 1/2 hour later started to PB. I have had nausea and have been vomiting up clear substance (sliming). The only way to find relief is to stand up straight. If I sit and recline at all it starts all over again. I'm going to call my doctor as soon as possible -- but has anyone had this experience? The smoothie or no food has come up.

One month out and becoming miserable.....
limbo6 replied to Change it up's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
hey change it up....i am 5 weeks out...i am supposed to eat what you are too....but like you...i'm sick of that stupid list of 10 foods to eat and nothing else. yogurt and cottage cheese are dairy products...so apparently you CAN have dairy. i hate yogurt and the Protein shakes are just so gross sometimes. i tried eggs, ricotta cheese with spaghetti sauce, ricotta cheese with s/f blueberry sauce, refried Beans with l/f sour cream and taco sauce, chicken, tuna, fish, and creamed Soups. everything gets blah so fast. 4 or 5 bites of something and i'm done. have you made s/f pudding at all?? i made s/f chocolate pudding and put chocolate Protein powder in it. not too bad... i have to admit...i have been trying bites of other foods here and there...ham deli meat, turkey deli meat, cheese from a pizza, pretty much anything i make for my family...i will take a bite or 2 of it and see what happens. if you chew anything enough times...it'll be pureed. my next f/u visit is next week and i know the next phase is pretty much the same as this one....YUCK...i'm going to be inching along faster than that because the diet is just so ridiculous. by christmas...we should almost be able to eat everything again. i don't understand the discrepancy between all these different doctor's diet...why some can eat and some can't...there should be a standard rule of thumb...and if there isn't....them there's nothing stopping us from advancing our own diet little by litte. -
tammy throw the cigs out and hand the starbucks coffee over to me, and no one will get hurt! just jokin. i have been doing okay..eatting with my eyes....and my stomach has been wanting to poke my eyes out for a few days. i don't think that im over eatting on junk, but i can still eat like a 3 ounce chicken breast, a cup of veggies and tonight i had a yogurt, then a cup of ice cream...Sugar free ice cream, but none the less, ice cream. i had a fill ohhh two weeks ago...i don't know if its time for another or what, but i am good alllll day long while im working then at night, the red eye food demon starts to stir.....and then lashes out at things...not bad things, yogurt is okay, but i feel like i am able to eat too much. I do feel the restriction....I have not pb'ed or anything, had one mini half stuck.......I am exercising......and the weight is coming off....but I hope Im not doing something to slow down the loss progress....I should keep a diary of my food...but like many other things in my life, i start it and then flub it. I found a great site, dont know if it has been posted here..... www.fitday.com and they have an awesome program that you can enter in your food intake....I should start using it huh???? All righty, thanks for listening.. TTYL

Why am I so hungry, 5 days post op
ShellieB73 replied to dejageel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My dr. had me on a full liquid diet for one week and then purees for two weeks and then to soft. They don't really specify what puree is...suck through a straw or run off a spoon or what. One section of my diet handbook listed things like cottage cheese, oatmeal, cooked veggies mashed with a fork, mashed potatoes etc. as puree. It is a bit confusing to me. I hope that I am not eating to thick of things....the diet that was full liquids included cream soups, yogurt, pudding and such. To me the puree diet I am recommened is more like the mashies you all are describing. What do you all think...I hope that I am not hurting my band. I am not uncomfortable, gassy or anything. I only eat about a half cup at a time. HMMMM!!!! -
Confused About Drinking Clear Liquids, Full Liquids, And Water?
Brad P replied to Brad P's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just want to make sure everyone understands that I just want everyone's opinion. I don't want people to think that they have to be scared to express how they would or did deal with this problem. I'm finding out that there seams to be a lot of different view points with the professionals? At least I know there are some MAJOR differences with my surgeon/ hospital program and my dietitian. The dietitian from my hospital was not covered by my insurance. I was looking at her daily diet plan for the full liquid stage and it has a total of 66 oz's a day, milk (1%), yogurt, and chicken broth. With the surgeon's daily instructions to be... 4 oz's every 3 hours throughout the day. So far today I have had 20 oz's and I'm worried that I shouldn't have 4 more oz's at 11:00 pm because its too late? Hearing everyone's journey through these first two weeks would be very helpful to me I think. I'm not asking who is right or wrong (my dietitian/ surgeon) ( or your dietitian/ surgeon) just need some real life lap band people's experience. -
8 days out and Gas going away
kstartaylor replied to kstartaylor's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am getting hungry but I'm able to control it so far. When I do eat, I am still getting full on much less. I have been snacking some but trying to eat lower cal snacks like a yogurt or a suger free jello. -
What are you guys eating?
Nibbler replied to princesswarrior's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm just under 4 months out and I too feel I'm eating too many carbs and not enough Protein. eggs don't sit well and I don't eat fish or yogurt (blahhh...have tried and tried) So I have resolved to make one big pot of soup per week, this has been helpful since I can eat meat if its wet enough. plus boiling soup bones (beef, ham, chicken, turkey) is full of collegian protein I'm a work in progress. -
I am amazed people eat the topping off pizza, and not the whole piece of pizza. I have ordered it without cheese before and added my own vegan cheese at home, but I need the crust! Yesterday: Breakfast:coffee with half and half and a Quest bar MS: More coffee with Half and Half Lunch: NOTHING appealed to me! So I ate an 80 calorie Dannon Light and Fit Greek yogurt Afternoon snack: I didn't eat lunch, so my bloodsugar was plummeting. Another quest bar. Dinner: Udi's gluten free tortilla with 2 slices of Daiya (vegan) cheese, 1 serving Chobani yogurt ES: 1 cup grapes, 2 oz. cheedar cheese curds This is not evidence of my best eating day, but it is honest. I need more fruit/veggies and more Water. (I think I made it to 40 oz. yesterday, not including the coffee, of course...) Onward!

I am 15 months out. I have not lost anything significant since September. It's very frustrating because I want to lose another 20 pounds. The surgeon is happy with my results though. Breakfast is always a MaxPro vanilla Protein powder shake mixed with 1% milk, a small banana, and a tsp of cocoa powder. Delicious! I still look forward to that every day! Around 10am I have a string cheese stick. For lunch I have either: 5 oz baked chicken and 1/2 c. cottage cheese or 2 oz hard salami with 2 oz of smoked gouda and some fruit, or a packet of tuna with a little mayo and a fruit cup. For afternoon, I will have a G2 and if I have some fruit, I will bring some to work for snack. For dinner I might have poached eggs, yogurt parfait, I like to cut up a couple chicken tenders and sauté with a Mexican flavored Mrs. Dash and have chicken tacos with a little cheese and sour cream. Last night I had leftover ham from Easter and some cottage cheese. I am single, so my menus are pretty simple!

This is what I ate yesterday, and is a fairly typical day for me. Breakfast: 2 eggs with 1 slice of cheese, coffee with 2 tablespoons sugar free creamer Lunch: 3 ounces chicken breast, La Tortilla Factory low carb whole wheat tortilla, 1/4 avocado Snack: Oh Yeah One Protein Bar, coffee with 2 tablespoons sugar free creamer Dinner: 3 ounces chicken breast, steamed broccoli, Trader Joe's riced cauliflower Snack: 1/2 cup Fage low fat plain yogurt with 1/2 cup strawberries 35 ounces water Right around 1200 calories. Walked very brisk pace for 30 minutes. This is pretty much what I eat, but can't lose an ounce!!! Would like to lose another 20 pounds. For all of you veterans out there, any advice is appreciated!!!

Hi all, This topic is for vets (more than one year out, bonus points for every extra year!) to post what they are eating today. I'll start. I'm almost 5 years out and I'm battling a 20 lb. weight regain. I've joined Weight Watchers and am following their new plan, which is more protein-centric than in the past. Here's my day: B: 2 Jimmy Dean low-fat Turkey Sausage Patties and 1/3 c. oatmeal, cooked with 1 cup Water and a little splenda and salt L: Spinach and cheese Flatbread from costco (240 calories) and 1.5 oz. turkey lunchmeat S: 100 calorie bag of popcorn and two small tangerines D: 3 oz. low fat ground beef (we grind our own) on a WW sandwich thin with 1 c. homemade tomato Soup (low sugar canned pureed tomatoes, basil, a little salt and water) S: not sure I'll have one but planning on 3/4 c. plain fat-free greek yogurt topped with 1/3 c. frozen berries

How is maintenance going for you?
Oregondaisy replied to Oregondaisy's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You just have to make up your mind to eat Protein first and some veggies and if you snack between meals, it's with protein. nuts are okay, and I will sometimes have a cheese stick with a few Fiber one crackers . They aren't very bad as far as carbs go and I only need about 3 with a cheese stick. I allow myself one snack in the evening like a sf pudding or a ww fudgesicle. Lately I have really been enjoying plain greek yogurt with coconut sf syrup mixed in. pretty yummy! -
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome & Sleeve
lolli replied to MSanti's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Im about 10 months out and I can say that I think this surgery IS the cure for PCOS. Those of you that seem worried about it maybe being harder then normal to lose weight after surgery because of the PCOS I would say dont worry. I have followed my doctors recomended diet (no startches) low carbs (healthy carbs fruits, yogurt, ect.) and I have found that I am loseing weight faster than maybe someone without PCOS. For the first time in 5 years my periods are normal again (i would go 3 months without a period before) I have also noticed a direct association between my weight loss and my cycle. About a week after my period my weight loss stalls, then about a week before my period i drop 3-5 lbs and again during the week of my period I drop another 3-5 lbs. I dont have any structered excercise that I do I try to keep moving but diet is key. Stay away from startches/ bad carbs and the sleeve will be a success! I hope wen i go for my one year checkup in december I will be at my goal weight of 125. Dont let yourself think that because of the PCOS you are just naturally going to lose slower because I believe it to be the exact opposite. -
I think I was hungry ..the it is similar feeling of being full..last night I got two tablespooons of chobano Greek yogurt with splenda and I was real full..it has lots of protien..so its a good choice for that reason..and yummy..I don't know what's going on with my new Tummy ..but I love the ten pounds I lost since Wednesday

Any August 31st Sleevers?
gigidile replied to dorothy510's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I add peanut butter to oatmeal for a little extra protein and extra calories. Also, I put low fat cheddar with my scrambled egg. I just eat little bits, but often. I think I stalled because I wasn't getting enough food, plus I would just crash and get really tired. Also I eat Greek yogurt a lot. -
For fruit, it was recommened that I eat greek yogurts with fruit, or canned fruit in natrual juices, and applesauce until I get to week 6. I have been eating the yogurt thus far cause I at least get the 10g of Protein with that as well.

If you are a year or more out, how is your restriction?
stacyrg2 replied to provenzee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is almost exact amounts for me too at almost 19 months out. It really varies from day to day, though, doesn't it? So weird how that happens! It does depend on the day. Some days I have "hungry days" and can eat more than what is listed and some days it's a struggle to get that much in. However, this is what an "average" day looks like for me with a few Snacks (nuts, yogurt, deli meat and cheese) thrown in the afternoon.

Feeling low energy on pre-op liquid diet
Poodlelover56 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am day 8 on liquids pre op. I have 3 carnation sf instant breakfasts and I can have sf jello, sf Popsicles, tomato soup ( but not every day), sf pudding or yogurt once a day, broth, crystal lite. I feel very low energy. And i am very gassy, even using lactaid milk. Does anyone else feel this way? I know that everyone's pre-op diets are different. This one is pretty strict but I'm sticking with it.
