Carbs....and how much
FluffyChix replied to Nonnaof4's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That's me most days. I get over 1lb of veggies per day usually. I keep it to 50g total or about 30g net most days. Here's what I've had so far and dinner will likely be cauliflower and broccoli roasted and maybe a small salad plus baked fish. Oh and I had an ounce of grape tomatoes with mid morning snack. I will probably have a bedtime snack of either a salad or veggies with yogurt Ranch. This was me yesterday: -

Tomorrow is the day!!
biginjapan replied to Katheryn0303's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks! I’m just about to go to bed after my first full day post op. Feeling a bit tender and uncomfortable but drank a full litre of water plus some liquid yogurt drink. Walked about 5000 very slow steps around the hallways. Hopefully tomorrow will be even better. -
with bypass, there's also the ending of malabsorption around the year 2 mark. also, once you gain weight it is REALLY tough to take it off, even after you return to your pre-gain habits. The difference between maintaining a weight of 140 vs a weight of 150 is about 50 calories a day. Which is like - a peach. Or half a Light & Fit yogurt. So if you do some heavy eating over the holidays and gain five pounds, you really have to go on a strict diet rather than just revert to the way you were eating before you gained the five pounds. Else at a 50-calorie deficit a day, it would take you 70 days to lose one pound. So almost a year to lose five pounds. The trick is to pretty much never let yourself gain weight. Yes - there are people who manage to defend their lowest weight, but an awful lot of us have "bounce back" weight... (it didn't seem to work this way when I weighed almost 400 lbs, but boy, it sure does now...) p.s. you are talking 15-20-30-40 lbs. I would say those last two numbers definitely ARE due to not being vigilant. But it is SUPER common to have a 10-20 lb bounce back after hitting your lowest weight. There are people who don't, but they seem to be in the minority.

Yesterday Tuesday, March 3 Maintenance : 5'2" / 1yr4mths PO Sleeve / 114.9 lbs ---------------------------------------- Bought a tub of mascarpone with the intention of making a peach pastry dish I had my eye on for a while, but me and the fam ended up just eating the batch of whipped-cream-mascarpone filling I made from the bowl all day (and night) long...it was sooooooo yum. Now I gotta go buy another tub (and this time I won't make the filling until AFTER the pastry is ready!) Also, I know I'm not totally healed yet, but I added a twice-around-the-block verrrrryyyy sllooooooooow run (a little over 1km) to my walk last night, and I didn't split anything open! Yay! I was all set and ready to go out again this AM for a longer, faster one, but Mr. convinced me otherwise. Boo . We did some squats instead. Double Boo. 🤬. ---------------------------------------- 7:00am - black coffee with stevia 11:00am - salad greens w/ vinaigrette + carrots + pickled beets + 3 oz pan fried chicken in bacon fat + 4 tbsp leftover beef pasta sauce 2:00pm - 1/2 cup greek yogurt + 4 oz fresh figs + 1 fl oz pumpkin seeds + 1/3 cup whipped-cream-mascarpone 5:00pm - salad greens w/ vinaigrette + carrots + 2 oz fresh figs + 1 oz white cheddar cheese + 3.5 oz pan fried chicken in bacon fat + 4 tbsp leftover beef pasta sauce 7:00pm - 1/2 banana sliced + 2/3 cup whipped-cream-mascarpone + 10 BBQ Pringles 11:30pm - 1/2 cup greek yogurt + 2.5 oz fresh figs + 1 oz blueberries + 1 fl oz pumpkin seeds + 1/3 cup whipped-cream-mascarpone + 2 squares dark chocolate --------------------------------------- Totals: 2625 cals - 159g Protein - 186g NET carbs - 125g fat ---------------------------------------

DS Post Op - Did you need help from anyone?
Postop replied to Rose57's topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
@Rose57I had the traditional DS almost 15 years ago and the answer is yes regarding help. I had my mother stay for about a week. I was too tired and weak to do much. She made my meals (which was a tsp. of scrambled egg for breakfast 😁), kept track of what pills I started on and crushed some into a tsp. of yogurt as I recall. She also pushed me to get up and walk outside several times a day. I needed her to clean myself as well. -

I'm having a hard time drinking water and protein shakes, anyone else? but I can drink gatorade and greek yogurt pretty easily. -
Muscle Milk 100 calorie shakes have been a favorite of mine lately. Plain Greek yogurt. Fiber One 90 calorie protein bars. I love these and all the different flavors. Hard boiled eggs

PLEASE HELP the skeptic in me. Doesn't starving = eventual weight gain??
AZhiker replied to MaybeMeow's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am NEVER hungry. I feel stuffed all the time. I eat a lot of plant based foods which are very filling and very nutritious. I never feel deprived. I would never have "the will to eat so little...forever." You don't have to! It's all about what kind of foods you eat. Honestly, I wake up and get on the scale every morning, just knowing I must have gained weight, since I ate so much the day before, but the gain doesn't happen. For example, today I have already eaten a bowl of cooked grain cereal, with milk, raisins, gogi berries, and a sliced apple. Then I had at 1 1/2 cup of shepherd's pie for lunch, an orange, a kiwi, grapes, and a cup of cooked greens. Then two cups of raw veggies for munchies in the afternoon. (Red cabbage, cauliflower, carrot, red and greed pepper, radishes). Then a rice cake with peanut butter, and some nuts. That is BEFORE dinner. For dinner I will have a plate of General Tso's tofu over rice and stir fry vegetables. Later I will have popcorn and yogurt with berries, seeds, and granola. Does that sound like a little? It sure doesn't feel like it. I am eating better than I have in my entire life, and feeling great with 110 pounds gone. -
Thanks so much for your message. Yes, my daughter had it done a year ago and she said that she went through the same thing.....really slow loss at first. I know what you mean about sinking your teeth into some real food. I see ads on TV for burgers and such and it's so appealing. I honestly think I could eat something like that but I'm sure not going to try yet Off to the yogurt!!

Salad, raw veggies, cooked veggies, Yogurt, cottage cheese, berries, chia pudding, eggs, nuts, nut butters, avocados, beef jerky, soups.... ...or whatever leftovers you have in the fridge from the meal you couldn't finish earlier, lol

How to lose weight pre-op?
AJ Tylo replied to BigSue's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Not hard but wont be fun I am doing this for my x wife as we speak she is getting it done end of May Since i have a nurta girl who handles me here is her plan Gallons of Broth, she has a band on he wrist and has to move 5 miles a day, Lucky she hits that easy at work, She eats small portion and low calorie food 6 times a day. For example today she will be eating chunked chicken, veggies two shakes and grapes. But she can sip and drink broth all day. She hates it and is miserable but she realizes the rewards seeing me. Going to prep her food today for the next three days here is it for dinner and lunch - Breakfast for her is a yogurt and shake. I will make two of each and she can mix and match them up - Goal is to keep her under 900 calories a day. Not easy because she cheats at work. and If tired blows the day with the Starbucks drive thru suicide coffee creations. 1. 7 oz salmon cauliflower rice and grapes 2. 7 oz skirt steak Avocado and asparagus and fruit cup 3. Chicken sausage one link, Brown fried rice with egg and tons of veggies I am professional trained in the kitchen - Use a App to track your calories and be careful with the sauces, seasonings and oils. You can have a healthy piece of fish and ruin the healthy side with a glaze or sauce! -
Dec 31st surgeries - how are you doing 2 months out?
Supervixen116 replied to loridee11's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi surgery twins! Down 26 lbs. and feeling great! Just cleaned out my closet last night, and as I was trying things on, I couldn't believe how large and baggy things were looking on me! I'm down two sizes, so now I'm not trying to hide under my clothes. It's so weird to me! I'm still trying to figure out my routine of food. I start with coffee with protein shake as my creamer and add a scoop of collagen protein. The bat wings on my arms are getting noticeable, but I was expecting that because I'm 49 and I have no illusions about my lack of elasticity. I do a piece of cheese or yogurt for morning snack. A green drink (veggies only) with more protein powder for lunch. Afternoon snack is the rest of my protein shake, then dinner is chicken, fish, meatballs, or a sausage. In between all of that is water. I had some bread a couple of weeks ago, and my stomach got super grumbly. This week, I'm going to switch out the juice on a few days for some salads. I've had a little beer (stout only) and a little wine, but I don't feel I need it like I used to pre-op. I had a small piece of pizza last night for the first time, but only got through a few bites. I used to have pizza every Friday night, but like so many other things, I don't miss it and don't care if I ever have it again. Also super weird to me that I feel that way! I'll admit that I wish I was losing more than 1-2 lbs. a week, but I also haven't been this size in a VERY long time! I keep telling myself that slow and steady wins the race! I'm walking 1.5 miles every day. I belong to a gym, but haven't been in years. That's my next big "add" to my routine. Although, I might quit the gym and start going to yoga. I'm looking for strength/core building, and I like yoga way better than germy machines! I was cold all of the time for the first six weeks, but that seems to be subsiding. Three weeks ago, my face started breaking out with tiny whiteheads, which has never happened before. My energy is good at the beginning of the week, but fades by Friday. Keep on truckin', everyone! -
if you're OK taking tablets, there's always generic brands of calcium citrate. Walgreens and CVS both have them - other places probably do as well. I do the Bariatric Advantage chews occasionally - but I also take tablets. I get the mini-tabs at CVS since the big ones are....big. another option is Upcal-D. It's a powder that I occasionally mix with yogurt (supposedly you can mix it with beverages, too, but it doesn't dissolve that well, so I quit doing it that way)

New bee .... I am afraid it will not work for me
Darktowerdream replied to themonk4u's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Try not to worry, you are on the right path and trying to see so far ahead only hurts you, just look at the moment you are in- the here and now. I live with lifelong chronic illness, disability, metabolic disorders, I cannot exercise. I’m 5’ and I started off at 208lbs BMI 40.6 - I had my surgery on April 29th 2019. Today I am 112.6lbs I’m strict with my calories, low carb, little sugar except occasional piece of banana in my yogurt. The experience varies for each person. People who regain are those who don’t follow the lifestyle. They see it as a miracle fix rather than what it is, a tool. Or they see it as a temporary diet rather than a way of life. stick to the program, hydration, protein, low carb, less than 4 or 5 grams sugar in a meal or protein drink. Keep a daily log of weight food, calories and protein and that can help. Do things until they become second nature. learn tips ahead of surgery to help with the harder days. like clear liquids: bone broth, premier protein tropical punch clear protein drinks, outshine sugar free fruit pops, Yogi teas, etc. BariatricPal store has great protein shots perfect for post op. there is a lot of support here. Try not to let others opinions of surgery sway your decision to do what is best for you. I know it is hard. I struggle with similar things. I’m on the Autism spectrum. My body image has always been a big thing as long as I can remember. But I knew this was my last chance do this or give up. Because no matter how much I fought I couldn’t do it on my own anymore. I also lost my ability to taste food and my sense of smell skewed. Never had sense of hungry or full so ate meals because if I didn’t my stomach would bloat and I’d feel ill. Surgery helped I am good with small portions now and can do the low calories, low carb, my body needed to lose weight. im not very good at this but I wish you all the best on your journey. Don’t give up. You can do it. -
I often have a something like heartburn. No, not reflux, just mild heartburn. I've found a teaspoon of yogurt and it goes away. My nutritionist says that's not unusual.

I feel you, Chas74! I am 6 days post op and in the "Full Liquids" phase for another 10 days--and I was on liquids for 2 weeks pre op. I too am so tired of liquids. Did you try tomato soup with a dollop of plain Fage Greek yogurt in? Also, my doc said I could have some very thin cream of wheat. Also, sugar free pudding is a nice treat that is permitted on Full Liquids. They also suggested putting a dollop of low-sugar smooth peanut butter in your smoothie, blending it very well, to give your taste buds some variety as well. Good luck and just remember, it will ALL be worth it! Counting the days until puree...

December 2019 Sleevers, how are you doing? What’s your stats?
JB1 replied to smb123's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi Everyone and Surgery Buddies, Stats: Sleeved 12/23/19 HW205, SW199, CW 171. #31lost and 19inches overall. 🙂 A bit over 2 mos out and doing ok. No issues with meds/vitamins. Do have issues with heartburn from time to time but Tums helps. Down 2 pants and shirt sizes and appreciate the nsvs like being comfortable in my clothes, skin and not being out of breath and tired all the time! I can exercise now and do walking 3 miles a day and I do flights of stairs 1-2 times a day at work. No gym yet. I'm still struggling with eating real food and trying to lose weight. I do struggle with getting over 55oz of liquids in daily. Just not enough time in the day to get it all in, as I can get really full just off liquids. I usually have coffee with vanilla protein shake for creamer for breakfast and 2oz of protein yogurt. Lunch is protein shake or on occasion 1-2oz of meat and cheese, refried beans, tuna etc. Dinner is 4oz of meat and veggies. Have found my downfall is after dinner snacking. Hubby encourages it since he does and its bad for us both. I've had to learn to deal with stress and emotional eating in different ways. I now have a mantra I say to myself "I am worth being healthy, xyz is not my issue, not worth sabotaging my happiness and wls journey". Then I get out of the kitchen and find something else to occupy my time. Thank goodness my dog never tires of walks or playtime. 🙂🐶 I wish everyone the best and much success on the continued wls journey! -
Take unflavored yogurt and mix in some flavored protein powder such as syntrax. Tastes great and will give you a double dose of protein!
-
I assume they directed you to plain yogurt to avoid any "chunks" in a fruit yogurt, but did you know that there are flavored yogurts that don't have "chunks"? I liked key-lime and lemon flavored. Both are smooth, without fruit puree. What about SF puddings? I usually made mine with an extra scoop of unflavored protein for a protein boost. Also, there are alot of things you can do with protein powders and shakes to break up the cream soup monotony. Personally, my favorite was a vanilla shake with half a banana and 1 tbsp of peanut butter. When blended up in a blender, it's smooth and deeply satisfying. And remember, whatever phase you're on, you can still eat the phases that came before it. Broths, jello, SF popcicles, etc. Good luck!

I can not have purees. I can have plain yogurt but that's it. That's why I'm starting to have issues.

Congratulations on your weight loss! What's on your plan besides cream soups? That can't be all you're allowed. Can you have plain yogurt? Purees? Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app
