I am hesitant to admit this but the other day I had some frozen yogurt with my husband, not even a large quantity really, maybe 4 OZ... it went RIGHT through me, I felt like I was going to throw up... I won't be doing that again, not to mention its bad for weight loss.

What's your diet like after your pouch heals?
Bufflehead replied to Ms. Brightside's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
1. Weight loss phase: I stayed under 800 calories for the first six months, then under 1100 calories from six months to goal. During weight loss, I was not permitted grains, starchy veggies, tropical fruits, sweets, or liquids with calories other than protein shakes. My meals were 3 small meals per day plus only protein shakes for snacks. A sample menu might be: breakfast: steak and pickle relish wrapped in romaine lettuce. Lunch: tuna salad and a couple of prunes. Dinner: scrambled egg with avocado and melted cheese. Snacks: 2-3 protein shakes. 2. Maintenance phase: I typically stay under 1600 calories. My meals are a little bigger and I do have "real" snacks. I also allow myself one serving of whole grains daily, but I still avoid starchy veggies, tropical fruits, sweets, and liquid calories -- except on very special occasions, such as Christmas. Then, all bets are off! Sample menu: breakfast: hot oat bran cereal with toasted almonds, almond butter, and cashew milk. Lunch: chicken breast and grilled asparagus salad with light champagne vinaigrette dressing. Dinner: baked salmon topped with an egg, roast cauliflower. Snacks: low cal hot cocoa, Greek yogurt, small apple, dried apricots, turkey jerky. I have lost over 200 lbs and am maintaining at a healthy weight. I continue to watch what I eat very carefully. PS this is just an aside and it is a small matter, but none of us sleevers have "pouches." That's what RNY people have. You can accurately call your stomach a stomach, or a sleeve, or a sleeved stomach, but not a pouch. Good luck to you!- 9 replies

The pre-op diets vary from surgeon to surgeon...mine was eating every two hours...i could interchange light yogurt, sf pudding and sugar free applesauce...8 ounces of gatorade a day and a protein shake for lunch and dinner free foods were chicken broth and sf jello Some report being allowed to eat light meals at dinner and various other combinations Ask your nutritionist and I am sure they can give you a copy of what they follow

My doctor requires 48 hours clear liquid and then a full-liquid diet until our two-week follow-up. As long as everything is OK, we are allowed to do the soft/pureed food for the next 2 weeks. I was told we could have cream Soup, smooth yogurt, puddings, applesauce w/out chunks, and whipped cottage cheese during the liquid stage. Of course, this is in addition to any low-calorie non-carbonated beverages and Protein shakes. I pureed a can of vegetarin chili 'til it was liquid today for lunch. I hope I didn't push it too far. I just couldn't stand the darn cream Soups anymore. There were no chunks in the chili so I hope I didn't damage anything by cheating a bit. Anyone have any creative ideas for the liquid stage?

We're bring Thanksgiving to my Dad's house, so it'll be just the three of us. *Roast a small turkey at home. Cut it up and divide dark and white meat. White for me. *Oven roasted Butternut Squash. *Stuffing (which I don't eat). *Cranberry sauce (just a teeny bit for me). *Gravy (for the boys) I wanted to make my famous Key Lime Pie, or make some other fascinating dessert (to show off) but I need it to be something I can eat, so it'll be fresh fruit diced real small, and some sort of topping/mix in...I was thinking honey greek yogurt, or light Cool Whip. You got any ideas? I don't need the extra's, just want to make it more interesting for the boys. All of this I can take home for leftovers, or freezing. I don't know what I'll be drinking, as in the past I always drank cranberry juice. Oddly, I am very comfortable with the dinner/day...I don't have a big family to cook for, or children to please. I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving!

Help, Band Question
Amy Carter replied to jennygirl37's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have problems with being tight in the mornings. I am not able to eat first thing or have anything cold. I have also found that my band gets tight when it is colder out or the air pressure is high. I thought I was going to have to get some taken out, but I tried a liquid diet for a few days and that seems to have helped some. I also found eating mushy foods when this happens is the best way to eat. I love navy beans now more than ever. I make sure that every thing I eat provides protein so I reach my goal every day. Greek yogurt packs tons of protein in a cup serving and makes wonderful smoothies. -
today is my 4th day and this is probably the first time in 40 years i haven't cheated on a diet. it is gettin easier. yesterday i had: protein shake hand full of carrots 5 slices of turkey weight watchers yogurt apple lean cuisine fat free/sugar free pudding pretty good for someone that was eating about 3500 kcals a day.

I love chocolate chip cookie dough Quest bars. I was disappointed in the Cookies and cream but it was ok. I recently got a blueberry one in yogurt. I'm trying it tomorrow. My husband got the strawberries and cream. Man sometimes I just need something other than chocolate and vanilla.

Mine was swollen shut post op. I coildnt keep a single thing down until they did my leak test and saw it was swollen closed in 2 places. I got a couole shots in the tummy, extra meds and then just started sipping. Now, at 11 weeks post I have somw difficulties eating. Soft things like cottage cheese or yogurts go down ok. meats do not. I can only eat 1 oz of any given meat. But im happy with it. Its not a big deal. Im told this will change.

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery Carla. I too am from Toronto. I wish my pre-op consisted of yogurt and cottage cheese. I was banded at the SWLC in Mississauga and their pre-op diet consists of 3 Optifast protein shakes and 225 calories of green vegetable a day. It was a rough time but at the end of it I had lost 23 lbs and it was well worth the struggle. As Susansilver said, once you're done the pre-op diete you tend to brag about your success. :clap2:

My kids are visiting me this week and I have taken them out to eat at great places in Chicago. Now mind you I am eating way less than before but I stuck to the plan religiously before they got here and did not lose 1 oz but then they come and I lose 1lb??? Go figure! I guess its the walking around and bowling that helped. I am also trying to stick to the rules, no bread, no water with meals (that is really hard to do), eat the good stuff :thumbup:. I ate pasta, a little, some popcorn and some frozen yogurt. I nibbled on this and that but no where near the crap I used to inhale. I guess the band is doing its job. Now I have to do mine:thumbup: and I get my first fill this week!

How Long Do You Stay Full?
unbesleevable1 replied to Noor1969's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am hungry about every 1-3 hours depending on what I've eaten. Full liquids or yogurt type foods last the shortest time. Dense Proteins last the longest. Also fullness lasts longer if I don't drink for an hour or more after eating. -
Anyone struggling with Insomnia
cindymg replied to kyleebean's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a problem with insomnia early on. I found that if I had a high-protein dairy snack before I went to bed, then I could sleep. Try cottage cheese or Greek yogurt. Something easy to digest. Also, don't exercise before bedtime. And take Calcium and magnesium before bed. They help make you sleepy. Take multi- Vitamin early in the day. If none of that works, call your primary care physician. -
The yogurt is loaded with bacteria, supposedly the good guys. I don't think honey has anything harmful but I am not a scientist although I could have been if had I stayed in school and not had my mind on partying....stop rambling Gman....ok.

I was asked an interesting question...
VSGAnn2014 replied to brandon_g's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Unless you develop an eating disorder (see @@miller1109 's post above), it's quite simple. Every few days or every week or so you just eat an extra 100 calories ... until you stop losing. For those who don't track their calories / macronutrients / food using a tool like My Fitness Pal and who don't really know how much they're eating, it can be challenging. But even they can add a handful of nuts to their daily menus or an extra Greek yogurt or some bread at dinner. For me, the challenge in maintenance has been to eat a little more nutritious food and not just over-processed foods. I have so learned to appreciate since I was sleeved which foods are full of nutrition and which are full of ingredients that just make me crave sugary, high-carb, over-processed crap. Slider foods will push all your craving buttons, making you struggle not to regain. -
diahrrea after surgery?????
lsereno replied to ScentsyLady's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'd call the Dr. or nutritionist - you might be lactose intolerant following surgery. I am. There are varying levels. I can tolerate whey Protein, yogurt, and hard cheeses, but not milk or cottage cheese. I switched to soy milk in my Protein drinks and felt better. I still had diarrhea the first couple of weeks, but I had less gas and I went poo less often. Lynda -
I am a honey fanatic... I buy jars from every place I visit. First, post sleeve I was super sensitive to tastes so 1tsp of honey in my big mug of tea was super sweet. It sweetens better than regular sugar and it's natural (buy local!) Second, honey has natural antibiotic properties (you can safely use it on burns and cuts). It goes great with FF Greek yogurt and little goes long way. I think you are thinking of botulism toxin that can affect people, it's spores can be found in honey and only affect children under 12month. Adults have enough intestinal flora to not get sick in the off chance the we inject the spores (which exist in the air, as well as poorly preserved food). It's still a sugar but better than fake stuff or white sugar. So yes go honey go!

-- I'm about 24 days out and lightheaded/warm headed feelings have been my greatest complaint since day 6 ... Was hospitalized for dehydration on day 11 but still struggling with those symptoms and constant fatigue and overall weakness --- I think my challenge with getting in fluids is due to my hernia repair pain which carafate Rx has helped with a bit but still find challenging I've tried thinned oatmeal and cream of wheat but my hernia hated it -- felt like rocks in my chest -- I'm scared to try anything like that again ... Baby food blended and FAGE Greek yogurt blended with the RTD shakes are ok but still challenging so I don't drink those all the time -- I do feel like I need more nutrients and protein along with Water of course --- it's a full time commitment I've been battling constipation recently and found that colace capsules plus magnesium citrate have helped Sip sip sip all day so you don't end up in ER My blood pressure, oxygen and temperature were normal in ER but blood sugar was low - I have no co morbidities Hope you feel better soon!

To Kimberly1184: A NUT that strict may be trying to keep you from indulging in mashed potatoes or oatmeal or other starchy stuff. Hang in there. You will be on regular foods in no time. To Jlnrgn: Shame on folks who can't have you over just to enjoy your company. They are small-minded to not accomodate you. While everone else is eating roast beef, you could be sipping on broth. They haven't heard of steamed veggies? When they are eating strawberry shortcake, you could nibble a couple of berries in Greek yogurt. Well, instead of waiting for an invitation, throw a festive soire yourself where you can control what you eat. Oh, by the way, don't invite them. After all, if they can't eat steamed veggies, softly roasted meat (or its broth) or fresh berries, they shouldn't come anyway.

One Month Anniversary- June 29th
Dibaby44 replied to IamKe69's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Im June 23 and it really is flying by. Although i have to go back in monday to be scoped and opened up. I cant eat anything, even yogurt for the past 5 days. So one bump in the road. Hope you are doing well with it. Im literally melting away. 46 pounds all together -
Try it. I did vanilla unjury with plain Fage zero. Then I added the usual cinnamon and a bit of splenda. It makes the greek yogurt extra filling to your stomach.

I just got back from a week long cruise in April. It was awesome! I ate what I wanted but because I am banded, I ate less. I had frozen yogurt every day and as many times a day as I wanted. You get so much exercise while onboard that I would not worry. You walk everywhere. I had Mongolian stirfry for lunch everyday and formal dining fantastic menus for supper. I did not skimp. I did not worry. Just remember that you will be eating less. I lost four pounds during the nine days I was gone and I ate the most fantastic food onboard and in every port.

4 months protein question.
Catherine707 replied to nesa83's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 11 months post surgery and still have a Protein shake or fortified greek yogurt almost every day. I am not a huge fan of meat and I am allergic to soy, so I need the whey protein from the shakes to ensure I get my 60 grams each day.
