I have only told 2 people in office at this point and like you there is a group of us who work closely and some of us eat together in the cafeteria everyday. The pre-op diet hasn't been bad, I have just been saying I am on a doctor supervised plan, with high Protein and I am telling them how much I lose each week. I haven't given them the opportunity to speculate about it. My surgery was originally going to be the 11th but the doctor wanted me to continue the pre-op for a few more weeks. The challenge for me is going to be returning to work while in week two full liquids. I can always bring yogurt or cream Soups or broth and they may not question it along with my already standard Protein shakes. I know it must be hard in such a small office but if they see you doing stuff pre-op with protein shakes and whatnot and you just come out and say you are on a diet supervised from your doctor, they may not think anything of it. I too said I was going on vacation and when I come back and continue to lose weight perhaps they won't be surprised since they knew I was trying and was losing beforehand. Your situation is definitely more complex because of the roommate. Stay positive and don't let it worry you. And if they do find out or you do decide to tell them, their opinion or comments don't matter. All that matters is you and you should be comfortable with your decision to do this. Don't let anyone make you feel bad about it.

Difficulty with protein
ProudGrammy replied to graceday32001's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@graceday32001 since you didn't mention otherwise...... besides the protein issue, is everything else going well?? gas, bathroom "issues", tiredness? are you having problems getting Water in? are you able to sip without a problem? room temperature water is always a suggestion to be more successful with your drinking many people use crystal lite bottom line is, drinking (as much as possible) water is more important than protein at this early stage of the game necessity of protein is also there, but again water is much more important!!! iwhen people don't drinkenough water they frequently get dehydrated (me at 6 weeks ) i became dehyrated on Valentines Day so i'll never forget the date then they have to go to hospital have IV's to get hydrated spend the night thats great you are eating yogurt is great way to get protein in i eat Fage 0% greek plain yogurt 20 gr of protein yum, yum, yum speaking for myself and some others......... Protein shakes??? blahhh, yech but continue to try and drink them shakes should be given to kids as punishment as suggested by @@Elizabeth21 add unflavored Protein powder to "whatever" i know you will progress with your protein issue i have plenty of confidence in you I see a healthier, happier, longer life in your future good luck bud kathy -
Feeling Great! (8 days post op)
Cinderella replied to buchannon's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
HOORAY!! I'm so glad to hear that you're feeling so well after eight days.... wait another week and you'll feel ready to go out dancing! Get used to having one small yogurt fill you up... I'm nearly 3 weeks out and can just eat the teeniest amounts of anything... a few bites does it. I am sick to death of the mushies... ate a lot of "bites" of yogurt, cottage cheese, and mashed potatoes.... that was about all I could stand. I feel luckiy that we both got sleeved during the "fat season," we are being saved from the holiday goodies!! Keep up the good work... Cinderella -
Since yesterday I've been feeling lightheaded, is this something anyone else has experienced? I had my surgery on the 13th. I've been drinking about 30 oz of liquids and having my protein shake along with my creamed soup or cottage cheese,or Greek yogurt,and popsicles. I know I should get more liquids in and that's my goal for today.

Is spaghetti considered a mushy food?
peggy1011 replied to mindyemt08's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
At 2 weeks postop, I was pretty much sticking with yogurt, applesauce, cream of wheat, hummus. I wasnt allowed to "try" pasta until about 5-6 weeks out. -
So, I was sleeved on august 13th 2012... I lost 20 lbs pre op, and 14lbs the first week post op. I have stuck to this new way of eating. I've completely changed my eating habits. I have yet to get in my full amount of water, or protein, but I think if I focused more on that, I may be able to.. It doesn't really cross my mind much that I am thirsty, or need to drink, drink, drink lol. I still get that hungry feeling, but there are times when it takes me hours to feel it. There are other times where I feel hungry an hour or two after eating. I am on soft/regular foods, and have been eating things like chicken, cottage cheese, scrambled egg substitute, lowfat string cheese, Greek yogurt, etc. after my first week, I hit a stall.. which I've read is normal bc you're body is adjusting. This lasted 2-3 weeks, until the other day when I noticed I was down another 2-3 lbs, and then another .5-1lb. I can take more than a "SIP" of water, I have had a popsicle with sugar, (I use sugar substitute now) nothing I've ate has made me sick, or throw up. I have not had ANY problems... is this normal? I know everyone's experience is different, and although I was a little worried if I was actually sleeved... I know I have to be bc I eat much less, I have lost weight (first week) I'm just wondering if im doing something wrong? has anyone else had an experience like this? any tips? :/

Also, I'm not to the soft foods yet, but my Dr suggest: unsweetened apple sauce, sugar free puddings, mashed sweet potatoes, puréed fruits and vegetables, low fat, low sugar yogurt such as Dannon light n fit or Greek yogurt, hoot cooked cereals such as oatmeal, grits, malt-o-meal, mashed Beans, non or low fat cottage cheese Hope that helps some

It is a salem occation today as it is the final day of people food for me ! I must start the Pre op diet as of tomorrow. I have had pretty much all the foods I like in the last 3 days. I had a lunch at eastside marios, I had fish and chips at a local Joeys, H&D rocky road ice cream, m&ms, and a nice peanut butter sandwich. Tomorrow I feast on Yogurt and Cottage cheese (bacteria filled milk and it's by-products) for the next ten days! It will be tough (since I will have daily access to some yummy food (pasta, sauces, Brocettes, chicken kiev, steak, stew, Clubs, Burritos, fries, various other potato dishes, vegy galore, pastry, sweets, ) SIGH! This also means that in 10 days I will be turned to the banded side. I may have to change my name to something like "Darth Bandito" or "Chewawacca" or "Luke soothimaker" or how about "Band Solo" Knaw... I'll just stick with Mr. Yoda... Oh well, it is for the greater good... I will just enjoy what I can have, miss what I can't, eat slow, eat often and muddle my way through... Viva the resistance! Today is my last day of people food!

Hi all, I'm newly banded, banded in august! I was so disappointed with my one pound weightloss over the past 10 days! So silly of me to think this way, but I was hoping for more, I was blinded by how quickly the initial weight came off, but at least I kept losing and didn't gain!!! Since my weight slowed down with that one pound loss, I got my first fill yesterday :smile: I have this lump in my throat feeling, not too sure if that's how it's supposed to feel. I was having some greek yogurt this morning and I can't even make a dent in it. I enjoyed the fill because I feel rejuvenated with my process. I'm feeling motivated to shed more pounds and even did a 2.5 mile walk yesterday! Before, I was only averaging about a mile. Hopefully with this spike in exercise, the fill, and motivation.............I can jump start my weight loss again to reach that new year goal !!! Wish me luck and good luck to everyone feeling like they are in a slump! You can do it!!!

I get mine for $3 a bottle at a restaurant supply company. I put them in Plain Non fat Greek yogurt. I love coconut. I also put it in protein shakes. I love both mint and coconut in the chocolate. In my orange cream protein shake, I also add more orange flavoring..

So far i'm living on mashed fish, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, and ff greek yogurt...

I Know I Shouldn't Complain But...
samsmom replied to Sleevedreamz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I use the Unjury too. Also, try sprinkling some quinoa in your soups, yogurts, etc.....it's unflavored and also boosts your protein intake! -
Hi,maybe just change what you eat a bit.A liitle less cottage cheese,a bit of greek yogurt,some nice liquidized soup.just like with any diet variety is really neccessary.And just maybe add a day or 2 with more complex carbs...just to shake it up more..keep it up though.Doing the right thing will be rewarded with weight loss

Those In The Green Zone... Do You Eat Breakfast?
TKW replied to sylviau's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i usually have a greek yogurt about 10am but when I was first banded, I never ate breakfast. about 9 months in I started eating yogurt mid morning. -
I couldn't do the puree or baby food either. I lived off refried bean concoctions, key lime greek yogurt and scrambled eggs during that phase. Had to add protein shakes too. Now I don't touch the shakes.

Please give your Doc a call on monday just to be sure. Miserable feeling no doubt. I am not sure what eating stage you are in. But possibly some yogurt or sf applesause. Along with the anti acids. just a thought. -
What Do I Need After Surgery?
DesertRose80 replied to Mara005's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sugar free/fat free pudding & Jello, fat free yogurt, broth, Protein powder, fat free milk, sugar free apple sauce, sugar free Popsicles. If you can't find one of the u shaped hot pads to go over the shoulders then either get two hot pads or buy one, borrow one. Gas x strips, liquid multi vitamin/ mineral. -
That's somewhat normal this early on. Your stomach is still swollen and healing and not functioning as normally as it would when fully healed. I had no desire at all to eat anything the first two weeks after being sleeved but I knew I had to. it's also normal for your tastes to change. There's no telling what you may or may not like now. You'll just have to experiment and find something that you like. I wasn't a fan of the creamed soups when I was in my full liquid stage so I relied on alot of sugar free jello, pudding, and yogurt.
-
I have trouble getting all my liquids and protein in. I HATE the shakes. Guess I have to go back to them tho. Most of my protein comes thru poultry and greek yogurt
-
I don't like sweets either. These were approved by my doctor for the liquid diet: plain Greek yogurt and sugar free pudding with protein powder in it. There were a bunch of others, but I can't remember them. Sorry.

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 -
I am struggling too. Ive had the band for 6 months and havent lost the weight i want to lose. What i am starting to do now is eat 6 small meals instead of 3. My meals usually consist of chicken topped with a little bit of cheese or baked fish with a vegetable or a salad. If i am hungry a couple hours later i would have cut up fruit or a yogurt. I also dont eat breakfast which i found out can cause you to gain weight so now i either have a packet of instant oatmeal or grits or a protein shake. I am also starting to limit my carb intake and reduce my sugar. Because i wasnt getting that full feeling i was eating larger portions. After going to the doctor for my 3rd fill he told me that my meals should be a 1/2 a cup so i went to walmart and brought tupperware that was 1/2 cup so that i wouldnt be tempted to eat large portions. He also told me to take 20 min to eat the food and stop after that whether your full or not.
