Regret to REJOICE! Newbies listen up :-)
Texasmeg replied to BabySheldon's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My plan is so different. I can only have liquids, pudding, yogurt, soup broth, oatmeal or malt-o-meal until 5 weeks an 3 days. After that - anything with introducing is slowly and chewing a lot. I am on week 3 and sick of liquids. Nice to know things can go so well, though! -
Question? How much food per serving do you eat?
Tamie2169 replied to Tamie2169's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for all the advice guys. I do have an appointment to see my doctor this coming wednesday. I am going to ask about the 1/2 cup rule that he has in all his paperwork that he gave me. I just thought it was a little strange to say only eat 1/2 cup of food for 3 meals a day and nothing else. I couldn't imagine getting enough of anything with that small a portion. But I have to admit, when I tried to eat a little more than 1/2 a cup I found out that left should and neck pain to flair it's ugly HEAD! I was not happy about that and the doctor said I probably ate too much and needed to stop what I was doing! I absolutely know that I am not getting anywhere near the 60 grams of protein, let along hardly any water at all. The protein shakes are a problem since they give me horrible gas and I"m not sure if it's because of the milk or not! The doctor told me to lay off the protein shakes and try to get my protein in through other means. However, I am only on pureed foods so its hard to get 60 grams of protein unless I eat only yogurt and cottage cheese all day long. Not something I'd like to continue for 4 more days. I was hopeing for a little bit more of a variety by now! UGH....sorry I do realize that I sound like I'm complainging. I am continuining to lose weight, and I like this but not the way it feels like I'm losing it through starvation and wonder what is going to happen when and if I actually get to eat regular again! OH boy. -

I was sleeved on June 20th and I 'think' I am hungry all the time! I don't really know what full feels like? Does chest discomfort mean your sleeve is full??? I get those feelings but my stomach is always growling. I am getting a minimum of 60 grams of protein and 50 ounces of water a day. I am still on liquids so I also eat jello, broth, and popsicles. I have even tried pudding and yogurt! I just feel confused because everyone told me they didn't even want to eat the first week!

Avo would be because of the fat. It is fine to eat so long as it is only a small portion and not the whole avo. I didn't eat a lot of fruit before being banded and eat even less now. I think it has something to do with the slippery texture, it makes it hard to chew and it is too easy to swallow a big bit. Melon and mango(which I love) definitelly slips past without being chewed. Kiwi fruits have all those pips in the centre which make me uncomfortable. Other stone fruits need to be peeled as there is nothing worse for me than having bits of skin stuck. These days if i do eat fruit it is usually tinned or cooked in some way. Strawberries lightly poached over greek yogurt are great. With veg I can eat most veg but being a Brit I prefer my veg soft! I cannot stand it when you go to a restaurant and they serve you green Beans and carrots which are still hard. Raw carrots are good though in salad or on sandwiches - the easiest way to eat them is to grate them or cut very thin pieces using a potato peeler.

Eleven days post op and if I was on Iron Chef, my battle would be ...
LipstickLady posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Protein vs. liquid Cuz it sure as heck can't be both. I got in a record amount of fluids today at the pool! I figured that was more important after spending an entire day in the sun. For the first time, I got down 40 oz of Water, but I had to force myself to eat 2oz of yogurt and 2 oz of creamed Soup and I am paying for it now. My youngest can't stop herself from giggling at the ferocious noises that are coming from my throat. Fortunately, before I drank all that, I got in one entire Protein shake so I got some protein in, but when I opened the second, it went back in the fridge after a few sips. Ugh... One day at a time, right? Still no complaints but it sure is weird having the FULL feeling up so high instead on in a thanksgiving tummy. I really wouldn't be unhappy staying this way IF I could figure out how to work out a belch faster. Ideas? (And if one more person goes to burp me like an infant, they will be gagging on their own teeth, for real!) -
Post-Op Diet Progression
Gene1970 replied to sid_n_reagans_mommy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It really depends on the Dr. I was on clears for 2 days post op, then on soft foods like yogurt, cottage cheese, applesauce and the like for 4 more days. On day 7 I was allowed to add in deli chicken or turkey, canned chicken, any seafood, soft cooked veggies, canned fruits, Babybel cheese, oatmeal, etc... about the only restriction I have is to stay away from red meat, pasta, rice, and potatoes until 2 months. When I had my 1 week meeting with the Dr. he just said to progress my diet as I felt comfortable but at 2 months everything would be completely healed and I could eat just about anything. -
One Month--Quantity Of Food Question About You
sassypants replied to Marty McSkinnystein's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For me I can eat 1oz at a time if its soft maybe as much as 1 and half or 2 like yogurt but if its more solid no way plus it takes about a hour to eat that! The one time I put 4oz of chilli in a bowl I still had some over 6 hours later it’s a little pathetic at times lol Your not meant to starve yourself, so if you think your eating too much just call the nurse or nut and ask them they will tell you if its ok. I think you have the choice too of 6 small meals or 3 larger meals and a couple of little Snacks or you can cut snacks out its how you want to eat the little and often or bigger and not so often. Honestly I would rather be able to eat more than this little its very time consuming and I am sick a lot because i can’t hold very much, can’t even drink a full cup of tea in one sitting lol -
Mine was soft foods...no starch or sugars...for instance soups,cottage cheese or yogurt and a small piece of fish in broth with spinach....On the day before all clear liquids only I started my laxative 2 days before surgery.I took collace clear pills, Miralax and citrate of magnesia.My system was clean and clear for surgery.

Omg!!!!! Had My 1St Week Checkup And I'm Down 26Lbs!!!!!!
SashaWLS posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can't believe this, but I'm down 26 pounds???? In only 3 weeks? I lost 12 during the pre-op liquids, and now 14lbs in the 8 days since surgery? I'm shocked, and THRILLED!!!! I can't believe it. I didn't know that was even possible. And, at 8-days post-op, I finally feel really really good, like I'm over the worst of the recovery... AND I'm officially cleared to start mushies! Though I'm going to take that suuuuuper slow. Start with yogurt and fish and see how I do... Anyway, I cannot tell you guys how absolutely dumbfounded and happy I am. I could cry. -
OK, I can't stand Isopure, any other ideas
MINI-Me replied to texaschick's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I too couldn't get past the smell and taste of Protein powders. What FINALLY worked for me was the unjury chicken Soup. It's a little salty in flavor, but none of the issues I had with other Proteins. It is 21 grams of protein. I also use [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Optimum-Nutrition-Instantized-Protein-2-7-Pound/dp/B000GIUQOG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=hpc&qid=1276226079&sr=8-1]Amazon.com: 100% Any whey Protein: Health & Personal Care[/ame] and add 1/2 scoop to my yogurt and or sugar free Cocoa powder. I cannot taste it at all and it boosts my protein by 8.5 grams. Good luck in finding what works for you. I know it was a struggle for me and many others. -
No Energy for Anything....Is this common?
plasticbee replied to 4evernjgirl69's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm glad to know this is normal. I was sleeved 10/1, and I've done almost nothing but sleep and try to get my fluids/protein in. I've tried to get out and walk a few times when I can as well -- but even last week, taking bites of yogurt exhausted me completely. It was so annoying, because I felt like I was failing somehow. I'm hoping that my energy levels start going up more soon, the past two days have been not too terrible, but still more exhaustion than I would like! -
I Haven't Stopped Regretting My Sleeve
lsereno replied to Tai29's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Your symptoms do sound like lactose intolerance. I developed it after surgery. At first, the only Protein powder I could tolerate was unjury chicken flavor. It is easier to digest if you are lactose intolerant. I also switched to Soy Milk and gave up cottage cheese. I can eat greek yogurt, but not regular yogurt. After a few weeks I also used the Gold Standard whey Protein in French vanilla, mixed with soy milk. Hope you feel better soon. Lynda -
Is it possible that I am still swollen???
123crod replied to Phranp's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

feel like i have a gut ache between my breast
honk replied to sunflower26's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sounds like a stuck episode. Welcome to the club. At three weeks out what type of foods are you supposed to be eating? For me at 3 weeks I was allowed cottage cheese and yogurt. Did you move ahead to quickly on your doctors post op diet? If you ate solids when you are supposed to be on mushies that could be your problem. The more details you provide the more I can try to help. -
In a blender....I start with 100% whey...25gm, then I add "Pro-Stat 64" a sugar free pure liquid Protein, 30ml (shot glass) for 15gm..... Mixed with 8oz Water or skim milk if you prefer, add your favorite fresh fruit, Peanut Butter, banana, just about anything you can imagine...even coffee....summertime add a ice cube...can also add yogurt or ice cream....and also non thickening Fiber powder.....always below 300 calories total......no solid Breakfast can match it....and I feel,the advantages all day, can tell when I miss one... I've been doing this for some time...and it was not because of the band...it was recommended by my cardiologist to name just one... When I got banded, it became a daily practice since post-op....

Hi all, I’m 7 days post surgery and I suffered from diarrhea all night long last night and noticeable bad gut flora since day 1. I have my follow up appointment with the doctor tomorrow but until then I was thinking of getting some non fat Greek yogurt or kefir to help with right now until I can get advice on a good probiotic. Any advice would be helpful!!!

I had three days of clear fluids, then several days of clear fluids one hour, Protein shake the next. At about a week, I added yogurt, oatmeal, cream of wheat, sugar free pudding, and cream soup. At about a week and a half, I added potatoes, a little very soft meat, a little tofu, beans. I went a little faster than most...but I've suffered zero nausea, and my activity is through the roof. I approached each food very cautiously and my body was ready. Everyone is different. The swelling inside your stomach will improve differently for each person. Take it easy, take it slow....you'll get there!

Hello everyone . So I had my surgery on August 18th. Everything went ok and now I am in the purée stage . My question is has anyone ever experience not feeling full with the recommended ounces in the purée stage . For example, I am only suppose to eat 4 ounces of yogurt and I feel like I can def eat more then that . Of course I do not eat more because I do not want to jeopardize this journey . I am now allowed to eat eg whites which I did for the first time yesterday . My dietician told me that I can have two egg whites . Had them yesterday and didn't feel full at all. After reading some post in this site it seems like people are getting full quickly and I feel like I don't. I have been keeping up with my protein and I have also been keeping up with my water intake so what gives ??? Yesterday was pretty rough for me, I was up late watching movies and I started to get hungry . Usually I would grab a bag of chips or some sort of other snack before the surgery and yesterday for the first time I couldn't so that was a little hard. Any thoughts ???

4 days post op and hungry
Shells20 replied to Shells20's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The diet plan that I was given says: Clear Liquids for 1 - 3 days, full liquids for 2 weeks: including stage 1 baby food. then pureed foods for 2 wks. By this time, I will have had an appointment with the doc about the first fill. I have been eating Chobani Greek Yogurt and drinking Special K20 drink. I still feel as though I need more protein. I did call the nurse today but she has not returned my phone call yet. -
I sounds like you just aren't quite ready for those yet, even if they are on your plan. You may have more inflammation in your stomach than most, which restricts the thicker (or sometimes even the thinner) things more than others experience. I had yogurt (and purees, etc.) in the hospital without problem, but others on the same plan couldn't handle them. Our general rule was to try new foods one at a time to test for tolerance; if it worked, great, if not, try it again in a week or two.

I was told to stay away from yogurt, oatmeal, pasta and sweets. Stick with eggs, lowfat cheese, turkey sausage, lean proteins, any berry type fruits. -
1 Day Of Mushies = 1.5 Lbs Gained :(
honk replied to diamante's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree you probably didn't gain 1 1/2 pounds of fat. However potato is a bad choice. My doctor said to choose high protein mushies low fat cottage or ricotta cheese, greek yogurt (use splendra to taste as it is very sour). Week two I could have canned chicken and tuna mixed with low fat laughing cow cheese.
