Not really feeling food...Pureed stage
Yadifan replied to LyricSoul's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I’ve been exactly the same. Just can’t do the purée. I’ve been sticking with yogurt, cottage cheese and popsicles. I’m almost one month post op. Wednesday is 4 weeks and I’m hoping I’ll be more motivated during soft stage. -
Should I be able to eat this much?
squeaker31 replied to She's_Sleeved's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have similar concerns. I can eat a whole serving of Greek yogurt and not feel full. I have seen people saying two bites and that's all. But it's early and I always knew that it's still up to me to follow the plan. I am having a harder time with fluids too that might help me feel fuller longer and not be tempted to graze. -
First Stuck - Still feeling sick
Bandista replied to kimk1999's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh dear, so sorry. Hope you feel better today. It's a reminder to us to take it easy, choose wisely and chew slowly. I don't eat bread as not only is it too gummy but I am also trying to do Protein first then veggies. I have had a slice of gluten-free toast with an egg on it -- the GF is not glutenous (well, duh) but also the egg soaked into the bread and made it softer. However, now that I've had another fill I doubt I would try this again. I just had a stuck episode recently (it was fish, cold and overcooked and I probably ate it too fast!). Even the day or two after I was still taking it very easy, doing liquids, smoothies, applesauce & yogurt, etc. Now I'm back to having a bit of chili, etc. "Real" food, which is my goal. Best part of this post is that you called it in and got advice from your surgeon's office. That's what they are there for! We are here to tell you we have done it as well and we sympathize! Best wishes! -
Question about starting pur?e food stage length between bites
Dmorris2321 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So tomorrow it is my one week anniversary since being banded and I get to start puréed food. I'm pretty sure this means I have to start the one bite per 10 minutes and seperating my drinking from eating but just wanted to make sure. Haven't been hungry at all but I'm looking forward to some yogurt and cottage cheese, god I sound like such a girl. -
First two weeks post op
SummerTimeGirl replied to smarks's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well everyone's plan seems to be different. My post up I had TWO weeks of FULL LIQUID which included: Protein drinks, flavored water, gatorade zero and that kind of stuff, strained low fat cream soups, sugar free pudding, sugar free popsicles, low fat milk, blended bean soups, greek yogurt, that sort of thing. I was NOT ALLOWED Juice of any kind or caffeine or carbonation. Did your office give you examples or an actual plan? -
How to stop the craving of snacks???!
XYZXYZXYZ1955 replied to TJ30's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Eventually you'll be able to have snacks--just choose the right things. One of my favorite things is a handful of cashews, for example. Or eat a yogurt (such as Oikos triple zero)--I find that I can take a very long time to finish one of them even now, and back in the early stages I could only eat a half a one at a time. Or maybe a stick of cheese? You'll find things you like that won't seem strange to other people if you choose them instead of something like cake. -
I am 9 weeks post op. I gave up protein shakes after 4 weeks when I was allowed to, I'm not a huge milk drinker. I get all of my protein with food. Typically I have 2 eggs for breakfast with turkey sausage. If I don't have that then it's 3/4 of non-fat greek yogurt with 1/4 cup of nuts and 1/4 of berries. Tuna with salad for lunch and some sort of protein with a vegetable for dinner. I'll have 1/4-1/2 cup of fruit after lunch. I'm not a big snacker but I'm fortunate that I can 4 ounces of protein typically so I don't need to snack. I usually come in at 650-750 a day.

it's this what acid stomach feels like post gastric sleeve?
amylu replied to pottergirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had this very same thing last week. I thought I was going nuts! It felt like constant hunger pains! I am on 40 mg of omeprazole a day. I took a zantac, and I took tums, and none of it seemed to help. When I called my surgeon, his PA told me to go ahead and add refried beans, and yogurt to my diet. (I was one week post-op) That did the trick. I think it all started after my first BM since surgery. All of the sudden it was like everything woke up, you know? -
When will i feel normal again?
lucclu81 replied to boricua43's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on 07/24 and my energy level was in the dumps and I was tired all the time....why? Because my protein intake was non-existent and the liquid multi-vitamins taste like crap!! I got the Chobani flip low fat Greek yogurt and gummy vites today. After eating the yogurt n the vites with 30 mins I could feel the difference....I didn't feel as tired and I had energy. Even though there was only 12g of protein in the yogurt it made a difference...tomorrow I start mushy foods so I'll hopefully be getting most of my protein through my food. Good luck....try some Greek yogurt for an energy boost....I'm not fond of protein shake any longer(premiere protein vanilla and various flavors of Isopure) but I'm going to try mixing the premier with fruits and see if that works out. I also ordered the sample pack of unjury(recommended by another member) I'll see how that works out. Good luck!! -
So frustrating. Gaining? On week 3
Delena2/11 replied to ShrinkingInSeattle's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm a month out and I had the same thing happen to me for a week. I think we just shocked the hell out of our system and it is trying really hard to keep things as they were. Not gonna happen! Don't worry, it will come off. I am now drinking drinking drinking btwn meals and I only "eat" three times a day. If I'm hungry before bed I'll have a fudge sickle or a Greek yogurt but I try to eat nothing but "protein and produce" at my meals. I read that in a book. I think I was eating too much (still not much) but not drinking enough. This has really helped me and the scales moving again. I know I should not be so obsessed with the scale but I cannot seem to help it! It's like heroine! It calls to me. Good luck you will do just fine! -
What's your Most Fave/Least Fave...
InfiniteButterfly replied to MistyAnnMoon829's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I look froward to small foods filling me up! It's probably good that your stomach no longer tolerates those things. I kind of hope the same thing happens to me so I can kick the habit. I wouldn't mind at all if it were unhealthy foods my body doesn't tolerate. I'm mostly lactose intolerant (I can eat some cheese without issue, but milk and Greek yogurt set me off badly), can't eat most meats (although I'm learning to like fish...I haven't cooked it a lot in the past). I definitely appreciate that most foods are on my no-eat list though. It definitely makes it easier to avoid sweets and whatnot when you have zero taste for them any more. -
Day 23 post op, can't keep most food down, throwing up bile.
alaina25 replied to alaina25's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Same here Jenny! I feel like I'm depleting my body and the only thing that is keeping me mentally on track if you will, is the weight that I'm losing. I was finally able to finish an entire chononi yogurt this evening which made me feel better since its 14g of protein. -
Can you eat all this in a day? HELP!
mich74 replied to AchieveGoals's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, I lived off the Protein shakes for the first few days. Even now, 6 weeks out I have to have either a shake or a Greek yogurt to get my protein. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
2 weeks post-op,the highs and lows, so far.
The New Kel posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am two weeks post op today! I feel like October 3rd was a second birthday for me. On that day a new way of life was launched! Physically, I have been really fortunate I think, regarding healing. Surgery was uncomplicated, and recovery has gone fine. Not much pain. The only pain I have had regularly is in my deepest incision site. But that is finally almost gone! I didn't have much gas, and not a lot of nausea post-op. I am still on full liquids and trying to be creative so I don't go crazy. I have my protien shakes (which are begining to make me nauseaus), non fat sugar free yogurt, and strained soups- tomato basil is fantastic! I really needed something non-sweet tasting with protien so I took a carton of non-fat cottage cheese and I put it in the blender till it was thinned out to the consistancy of yogurt. Sounds disgusting right? It works for me, I eat 1/4 cup or less at a time and it helps the cravings for savory. I have had a couple days of extreme weakness. As in having to lay down for hours. I realized that it was not drinking enough of the Protein. Emotionally, it's been harder. I realize now I was a food addict. So, so many aspects of my life revolved around food (bad ones), pre-surgery. Now post surgery, I find that I have hours of time that I have to fill with new, healthy activites and hobbies. The biggest eye-opener for me 2 weeks out is how much time and mental attention that I used to give bad food. It was my life! So....reinventing now. So, this is my experience two weeks out! I see the surgeon and NUT Wednesday. I am hopeful to graduate to pureed or soft foods! Stats: HW: 239 9/23/16 SW: 219 10/3/16 CW: 211 10/17/16 -
I Found a Non-Pill Cure for Post Op Constipation
kpay10 replied to unbesleevable1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I LOVE chia seeds and eat them almost every day. A simple idea is to add a tablespoon to yogurt or your protein shake. Both are yummy! There are tons of Chia recipes online, too! -
Cleared to start stage 3 of diet but scared to.....
Wendyfm replied to MS_Science_Sleever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told three meals and one or two snacks,and that they should total 1,000-1,200 calories. 300 per meal 100 per snack. Although I find I'm eating a little less for meals than that,especially breakfast. Breakfast is generally 100 calorie whole wheat English muffin with cheese or almond/peanut butter, prunes and for me coffee. Lunch is a protein,fruit and veg, supper is protein,veg,maybe a starch.Then I generally have a yogurt for a snack or a fruit. Hard boiled eggs for protein too. Sometimes, crackers or wheat for thins for a snack. -
So much different medical advice on what we can eat post op.
Megan1982 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was given my diet post op and it is pretty restrictive. I am three weeks out and I am allowed up to 3 meals a day, at a max of 4 oz of Protein per meal. I can also have a half cup of non starchy veggies. Also, all the sugar free, non carbonated beverages I can handle. I can't have fruit until week 8 and yogurt and milk for 6 months. Carbs are not allowed until 75% of excess weight is gone. Here is my problem, I cannot eat to save my life. I have no appetite and can only handle soft, or liquids. I could just not eat. I tell myself that is bad and I force myself to eat an ounce or two here and there. I see others mentioning applesauce, milk, yogurt, etc. and I WISH I had that option. I feel like at least then I could get something in that is kinda a solid. I think I drink 64 oz but protein intake is way under 60 grams. Any advice? Also, pills are equally as hard to take. Any tips? I feel WAY overwhelmed. -
Getting bored with all this meat!
Nel replied to wonderwoman75's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
and yes, getting your protein from one place is not good. Meats, cheese, protein drinks, eggs. Other dairy such as fage yogurt or any greek yogurt, sour cream, milk.... *be careful, they add horrible stuff to yogurt. Just cuz they call it cane juice, doesn't make it any less sugar * -
What else besides protein shakes on 6 days post op?
BLERDgirl replied to nugirl402's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Your nutritionist should have given you a list of acceptable food. Eggs were not on my list until I was on purees. My first 2 weeks were full liquids. Protein shakes, cream soups, broth, water, diluted juice, greek yogurt were all acceptable. If you are unsure, you should call your nutritionist and review acceptable foods. Yes the protein shakes will get tedious, but it's only temporary. following your medical team's advice is important in the healing of your new tummy. -
6 weeks post op-What size meals are people eating?
Juba replied to onajournee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 9 weeks out today and my meal sizes are still pretty small. I have zero hunger, like I mean I am never hungry and pretty much force myself to eat. The only way I know my body is hungry is that I find myself yawning or I just start not feeling great. I have gotten really good at reading the signs my body is showing me, because I do not get any brain signal of hunger anymore. I would prefer to just have 3 meals per day but in order to get my Protein quantities in I have to eat more like 4-5 times/day. I drink a 1-1/2 scoop protein shake for Breakfast (with a bunch of things added i.e. green powder etc), mid morning I have a small snack (i.e. 1/2 cup of greek yogurt), lunch would be maybe 1/2 cup chili, dinner maybe 2-3oz of meat and maybe 1-2 pieces of veggie (i.e. steamed broccoli). If I can I will try and eat a small piece of turkey pepperoni or turkey Jerky in the afternoons. That's it, I'm lucky if I hit 800 calories in a day, it's typically more like 600-700. I rarely have room for veggies or fruit which I miss ALOT but protein is obviously the priority. I add an organic greens powder to my morning shake to try and compensate for the deficiency. -
Low calories and protein during first post-op weeks
temkins posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tomorrow will be one week of VSG, feeling well so far. I feel no hunger at all, and simply force myself to put something into my stomach. I manage to meet my water goal of 64 oz/day, maybe even more (with a few sips of chicken broth every day). But I really fail to manage my protein goal - getting around 15g with my protein shake. I just can't force myself to drink more than 1/2 serving /day. I tried other protein supplements, but they are too sweet -- after the surgery all artificial sweeteners taste really bad. Once I'm allowed to go to the pureed phase, I think I'll be able to get some proteins through unsweetened real foods, like greek yogurts, meats or soups. But I still have to wait for about one more week. As a result, my current daily intake is about 200-250 cal. Is there any risks, like stalls or else, related to low calories? Could I keep my clear liquids diet for one more week without harming myself? -
What are some tasty foods for the first 2-3 weeks?
Nursebarbie replied to Prettyteacher86's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm pureed now so I'm eating poached eggs, refried beans, mashed potatoes, oatmeal, cream of wheat, frozen greek yogurt bars, beechnut turkey baby food, split pea soup, bean soup, applesauce unsweetened, sugarfree pudding, sugarfree ice cream, and peanut butter. -
9 weeks Post sleeve feeling frustrated
menaegle replied to menaegle's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I have alarms set on my phone to eat. For example my alarms are set for 9,12, 3, 6 & 8:30 I eat Breakfast at 9 then at 12 I eat a snack (usually a cheese stick) then at 3 I eat lunch. then at 6 I eat dinner and at 8:30 I eat a snack. Maybe I need to pick different foods. I am so use to trying to watch what I eat maybe I need to eat different foods to get in the needed calories. My usual breakfast is a half a serving of oatmeal with 1 scoop of unflavored unjury Protein powder added. Then snack is usually a 100 calorie greek yogurt or RF cheese stick. Lunch I usually eat cottage cheese about 1/2 cup (either low-fat or fat-free) then dinner is usually 1-2 oz of protein and 1/4 cup of vegetable and 1/4 cup of brown rice or protein plus Pasta. (Sometimes I can't eat all of my dinner but make sure to eat all the protein) Then my snack before bed is usually a cheese stick or 100 calorie greek yogurt. So maybe I need to change my lunch meal to contain more food? Thanks for responding Mary -
5 Weeks after surgery and not loosing a pound...
BLERDgirl replied to anaarnaiz's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It may just be a stall. There really is no rhyme or reason to them. It's your body adjusting to the changes going on. Just keep working your program, you may even try upping your calories and/or protein. I know for me having protein before and after a workout produces good results so I make a large protein shake with greek yogurt and have half before and half after. -
