JANUARY BANDSTERS ~~ how is everyone?
Renee1003 replied to Renee1003's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The "exception" that my doc made for me yesterday was VERY much appreciated cause TODAY I feel restriction - for the first time -- nothing MAJOR - but something!!!!!! I just ate a 1/2 of Greek yogurt and I'm good --- I COULD eat the other half but why??? They say the first week after a fill is usually good so we'll see after next week where I'm at. My next fill is scheduled for the 2nd week of april --- Really want to be down another 20 pounds by May --- can't imagine that I won't be able to do it - but I also thought I'd be down so much more by NOW. Reading all that you wrote has helped me - let's all stay in touch. Thanks! -
Late May 2015 surgery date - check in!
SeattleDeb replied to SeattleDeb's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Maureen - The RN in my clinic just made a lot of suggestions for added protein as I progress to puréed foods. (Yay!) 1) Greek yogurt and protein drink added to a fruit smoothie 2) Applesauce with cottage cheese (I had it tonight, heavenly!) 3) Mashed potatoes with chicken breast (puréed for now). -
Typical day on Preop diet???
misszizka replied to robinbare's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am getting banded next thurs too! I am allowed to eat cream of wheat, yogurt, milk, juice and sf carnation inst bfast for breakfast. Lunch is soup, milk, juice, sf pudding. Dinner is the same. I have snacks of either milk or yogurt in between. After dinner I have a protein shake or carnation inst bfast. I have to be on pre op diet for 2 wks. Thats nice you get to start yours later. I have been doing ok on it, been tired and muscles ache. It gets old, but its better than drinking shakes all day. Good luck! Hopefully you will find out what your diet consists of soon. I have lost about 7 lbs since on pre op diet in 1 wk. You lose weight, but can be exhausted. -
So Excited To Hit Week 2 Post-Op!
Amanda61082 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am enjoying a yogurt smoothie, and will be enjoying some tomato soup for lunch! I never thought I would be so excited for these food items, but I am!!! I read my post-op handbook three times just to make sure I was allowed to eat this week. Just thought I would share my excitement! -

Liquids after surgery
lauragshsu replied to suebydoo70's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon called is the "full liquid" phase. We were allowed to eat cream soups (like cream of mushroom, cream of potato, etc), yogurt, SF pudding and SF fudgesicles. -
Hi X-ray Chic, I was banded on March 19th. My doctor gave me a menu saying to follow the clear liquids for a few days and then try to start regular liquids-- things that can run off a spoon such as blenderized soup, creamed soup made with nonfat or 1% milk, protein supplement drink, thinned cream of wheat cereal, thinned mashed potatoes, thinned sugar free pudding, thinned sugar free yogurt, sugar free popsicles. The different flavors in the soups have really helped me. We can do this !!

I definitely wouldn't handle it by eating cookies. That is going to sabotage your weight loss efforts. Try the SF popcycles or pudding and see if that will help curb your cravings. How about greek yogurt? This is where you are going to have to buckle down and really use your willpower. That's the things about WLS, a chocolate chip cookie still smells and tastes like a chocolate chip cookie. We have to find ways to resist the urge. Good luck

Oh goodness. I thought I was the only one that was hungry. I have been terrified that I am screwing something up, I had surgery on 3/29 and I had to move to at least something substantial once a day. I couldn't do Clear liquids. I was needing to have that all day long. Like 6 or 7 times a day and never was satisfied. I had to move right away to food once a day. Usually something like pinto Beans, butter beans. I even had some Pasta....shame I know. I only eat about 1/2 cup and then I start feeling full, so I quit. I can however eat the 6oz cup of yogurt. I thought something was wrong with me. I am so happy to know someone else out there is feeling my pain. Whew! Ronda

Try Click protein- they have vanilla latte and Mocha flavored, with skim milk- tastes like a iced latte. 15 grams protein. Also Greek Yogurt has like 17 grams of protein, I add a little splenda and some sugar free jam- can also put in blender with skim milk and make a smoothie. Another thing to try are sugarfree syrups like they use in coffee shops. My sister sent me a case of 6 different flavors for christmas( she had WLS in september) I add a little vanilla, or carmal to the protein shakes and it hides the preotein taste a little more. Some of the soup flavors are better then the sweet protein powder in the begining I found too. good luck!

Phase 2 diet: puréed food
Bufflehead replied to tmedi7's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I was on pureed, I mostly took Greek yogurt or cottage cheese to work for lunch. I had more interesting stuff for breakfast and dinner, but yogurt and cottage cheese were easy and portable. I had a serving size of 1.5 oz maximum, so I would often do 1 ounce of yogurt or cottage cheese with .5 ounce almond butter or cashew butter or similar stirred in. -
I am 2 1/2 post op.. I am trying new foods daily, but sometimes the thought of food makes me want to vomit... I can't eat eggs, rice, certain types of grilled chicken and beef makes me sick just by the smell.. I can eat grapes, bananas, yogurt, soups, baked snack food... Anyone please tell me, what I can try to eat, as I am tired of the items I listed. Any advice will be great.. Hugs from Alabama...

I am having yogurt.. It's okay.. But I think the problem is when you constantly eat the same things over and over and over.. NOTHING TASTES GOOD...

Thank you all for these ideas, I went to a frozen yogurt shop and asked if they had a book on the nutrition of the yogarts. I was the only one in the store and when I saw how high the carbs were (18-20) for ? Ounces, I wanted to leave but the guy was holding the cup and I was too embarrassed to just leave. I bought 2 ounces of vanilla sugar free and was out of there never to return. I thought jamba juice non fat yogart was a smaller carb count but I can't remember now. I'm going to try the Greek frozen Yogart. overall I really can't bring any of it home cause I eat more than one portion. Dryers sugar free popcycles, I can control those and they help w/ nausea

Not getting enough protein or liquids...
BarrySue replied to Savannah Lee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Protein shakes made me ill, and I was super picky, so some of the following helped me get closer to protein goals: Fat free fairlife milk (lactose/sugar filtered out, tastes like regular skim milk, fortified with protein/calcium) Fairlife milk mixed with either sugarfree strawberry/chocolate syrup, or served hot with diet cocoa mix Mixing a tablespoon of vanilla Protein powder with sugarfree vanilla pudding (I never added too much because I hated the aftertaste, but it was a good way to still add some protein) cottage cheese with just a tiny spoonful of tomato sauce (tastes like lasagna!) I also used the hershey's sugarfree strawberry syrup and added it to plain greek yogurt to make it taste like regular yogurt I'm seven weeks out, and these things have been a godsend! Soft food stage will open up a lot more options for you. It gets better! -
They don't keep me satisfied at all. I would rather eat real food. I'll have an apple and a string cheese or nonfat greek yogurt and strawberries and they help me stay fuller longer. Sometimes there are days where you just have to grab something and go, so at least a protein bar is getting you what you need, but you will probably get hungry quickly.

Feeling Too Full, Too Fast
NMJG replied to scootergirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've noticed this, too, and I think it's normal, but I'm not a doctor. Some days I just don't feel like eating (just like before the sleeve). Those are days it is hard to get my Protein in. It's the other days that I worry about I find that if I switch back to softer Proteins for a couple of days (tuna salad, egg salad, cottage cheese, chicken salad, tofu, greek yogurt, beans) it helps to get through those times, as the soft proteins don't give me that sick stuffed feeling after 2 bites and I can actually get down 3 or 4 oz. Just make sure you don't overeat them, though, and get back to dense protein as soon as you can. -
1st day of the Liquid Diet...

My surgery date is July 16. its tough this first week has been very challenging for me, but i just keep thinking of how this will benefit me in the end and it keeps me motivated. good luck with everything! -
going nuts on liquid diet.
juliegeraci replied to justine717's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yogurt, cottage cheese, baked potatoes, creamy soups. That is what I lived on. Good luck. -
Hi. 3 days post op. Had RNY on 21st. Went home on 23rd (today). I'm on 7 days of full liquids right now. So far I only had protein shakes, yogurt, clear broth, and Gatorade (G2 in the hospital and Zero at home). I'm still very gassy from the surgery. Pain is manageable. I'm not getting even close to 48oz daily but tolerating well what I do drink. When can I expect first bowel movement? Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

Best low fat yogurt for 2nd week post op?
Ah0505 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm not much of a yogurt person, the only kind I've had in the past year or two is Greek with honey. Since honey is probably not a good idea please tell me your favorites! Thank you!!! -

Sleeved on Jun 20/2013...lost & sad.
Damaris67 replied to karenoconnortx's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Boiled eggs are a waste of calories and sleeve space. Not enough protein .Research before you put anything in your mouth. I live on greek yogurt 14-15 gr of protein. Tilapia, chicken, red meat. Cottage cheese is high in protein. Special K PROTEIN PLUS cereal 1/2 cup with 1/2 cup Carbmaster milk. I don't have space for veggies or bananas in my sleeve. No protein? I won't eat it. Water? Yes, but not as much cause I forget to drink it. I take my Bariatric advantage vitamins and 1 iron pill every day. I am not doing ANY excersise but to walk from my cubicle to the mail room a few times per day. I've lost 35 lbs in 8 weeks. Ps: I take Wellbutrin. What is depression again? You gotta take something. See a doctor. Get serotonin levels up baby. Check your thyroid levels. You'll feel great.
