24 hours and counting!
rickyswife replied to mrspurifoy2u's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, I am one week out...... expect bruising, I was shocked by the amount of bruising. And make sure you have everything at home ready.... several options... it IS true that some of the things you liked before surgery you may not like post op, only six days and I am turned off by a favorite just two weeks ago, keep us posted! Also post op gravity is your worst enemy, but once I figured out HOW to get up and down in a less painful way, ahh much better. -
What on earth is happening?
TheProfessor replied to TheProfessor's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@Julie norton Thanks you so much for responding. This is a little unnerving, feeling hungry so suddenly after such long periods of satiety. Today I've eaten very little and I'm feeling ok - not as ravenous as the past few days. Good to know that you have been at this for years, and experience some weeks where you are hungrier than others. I wonder why that is?? My cycle just ended, so I'm left wondering if perhaps it might be something hormonal. AS for eating more Protein at lunch, I've been eating SO much protein - like almost nothing but! Smoked mussels, chicken salad, mixed greens, a tiny amount of dressing, no carbs, no sugars. Thanks for checking in with me and offering our thoughts. Very helpful indeed! -
Not the best news..feeling defeated. Need Advice
TheCurvyJones replied to LisaLou30's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Agree with built2livenotexist, I would start your pre op diet. I did several practice runs before surgery. See if you can get your surgeon to agree that if you lose the 8lbs by say Mid November that they'll submit you before the end of November. If you have access to a pool you could swim. Maybe Pilates moves that dont involve standing? Since you can't exercise strenuously, you'll have to severely modify your diet to create a deficit between what you eat and what you burn. Maybe do shakes during the day and something good and healthy for dinner. I actually like to keep dinner fairly light so I ate during the day and had a shake for dinner. You can pump the shakes up with fruit and veggies and a good Protein powder and maybe something filling like flax. Also make sure you get in lots of Fiber so that you errrm evacuate on a regular schedule! Good luck to you! I really hate the dangling of the carrot that your doc is doing. Reasons why I self paid and went to Mexico. -

Hi, @LisaLou30. I know you can do this! Sometimes it can be discouraging when unexpected circumstances seem to put off or threaten to put off your surgery along your journey. If your physical activity has decreased because of your injury, you should definitely consider decreasing caloric intake. I used the premier shakes for my preop diet, one for breakfast and lunch and a normal meal for dinner. The meal consisted of 3oz of lean protein and 3 oz of non starchy veggies. It worked for me and provided results. How is your fluid intake? For me, my body seemed to like water more that any other zero calorie liquid. -
I have been having a lot of GI problems over the last several month or so. The pain became unbearable this week, so I went to my dr and she thinks it's due to artificial sweetners. As I think about my diet, much of what I eat has these sweeteners in them. I will do anything to avoid the pain and bloating caused by the artificial sweetener, so I am looking for ideas on how to revamp my diet. I could care less about eliminating most of it, but I think I'm really worried about protein shakes because they are my go to item. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Yikes! Rude awakening!
avanderhoof replied to Catherine55's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
We have a place called Tropical Smoothie Cafe here, and you can ask for slenda instead of turbinado (the sugar they use). You can also get soy or whey Protein. I get a 24oz orange passion with splenda and whey protein. It has calories and 27 grams of protein. They work out well on the liquids stage and if you are out and need something, but would rather not venture into a drive thru. -
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Help Me Choose! :)
CBT replied to jazzyjess's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
The research shows that RNY ppl on average lose 3-5 pounds per week and Sleeve ppl lose on average 2-3 pounds per week. I never doubted the sleeve was right for me. Also I no longer like sweet stuff. Instead I prefer savory. My tastes changed early on. Like right after surgery. I too had high starting weight 273. I think SW was 252. Good luck! -
Band to sleeve revision cost
O.T.R. sleever replied to nanalisa46's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I highly recommend looking into Mexico as an option. Not only because of price, but mostly because of the level of care. If you were to choose one of the top surgeons in Mexico, I am convinced, you would receive superior care to what most American providers give. Maybe I'm a bit partial, but my dad was sleeved Monday, and though I've heard the stories before, I find it unbelievable the way so many American doctors operate. -
No Solid Food Since Surgery/9/9/09?
monjoy replied to monjoy's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I do have insurance but I also had it back in 2009 and was rejected for surgery. That's why I went to Mexico. Maybe it is time for me to see Dr. Fielding back at NYU and check my options. Although I am a procrastinator. If I could lose more weight I would live with the lack of food! -
Coffee Protein Powder! Is it safe for us?
sksh replied to sksh's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Me too I'm so confused and not too sure >< oh you mean this one? Can I ask you something (/^\) do you know the protein powder smell .. that strong smell? dose this one have it (/^\) and it's only serviced as iced beverage? oh and the link I never saw this Bariatricpal products except for now after you guys post it they have Click on the site too!! I always mixed it with ice Water in a shaker bottle. No strong smell.....other than that of rich coffee. The mocha version is killer, too. mmm~~ sounds yummy >< I might give the small packages a try *-* thank you~~ -
I'm 5 weeks out and my only side affects consultation also. Try adding some spinach & flax seed (ground) to your shake. That really helped me. Sounds like you are over the max with your protein which is probably the cause. I've lost 22 since my surgery on 9/14/15. Good luck. ????

Great! I am only allowed protein shots and its disgusting!!!!! To top it off i need to take 4 per day!!!! i am not allowed any kind of protein. Shakes.
-
Every doctor is different. Mine said 3 oz of Protein, 1/2 cup vegies, 1/4 c. start (optional). I limit my carbs severely because I'm trying to control my diabetes with diet alone, so I'll usually have just the protein and vegies and if still hungry, will just have another 1/2 cup of vegies. At my sweet spot I'm eating about 900 calories per day. .

Banded on Monday, how can i continue to do well????
Cadets71 replied to pvbrownsugar04's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi. I am just banded (June 5th) and we are gong on a cruise the end of August. I decided today that I will take my majic bullet to make a protein drink every morning. We can order up fruit and milk to mix in. I will still be on mushies, so I am looking for soups, masked potatoes, soft vegetables. I really am not worried about. I have always found the dining rooms SO acommodating! Good luck and have fun. -
October 2018 Sleever Hit Goal Just shy of 6 months
danieocean replied to danieocean's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
After work, I run errands/clean and try to get in 6000 to 10000 steps per day. Just from cleaning my house and running errands and taking the dogs out, I get my exercise in. I did just buy a treadmill that's getting delivered soon, so we'll see how that affects the weight loss. I drink lots of iced tea with lemon and Sweet'n'Low and water, and I like to add liquid IV to some of my water bottles throughout the day (google that one if you have a hard time getting your liquids in). I eat lots of protein (even chicken strips from fast food places) but mainly just meat and vegetarian meat substitutes JUST protein. (I've of course cheated on occasion and had some fries). Once I could stop doing the shakes, I stopped them pretty quickly. I hate them and they make me sick...every single one I've tried turns my stomach sour before and after surgery. Also lots of riced cauliflower, you can make that stuff into anything! I do also fast intermittently. A lot of people don't recommend it, but it works for me. I will go 24 hours on liquids alone and have found that when I feel like I'm staling for a few days it kicks my body back into gear. I started doing that around the 3 month mark and it helped me a lot. Fasting isn't for everyone, but my doctor was cool with it and saw the results and said as long as I take my vitamins and keep my liquid intake up, I'm fine to do it when I feel like it. -
Anyone not losing weight?
mauraclegg replied to EspeciallyKK's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded last June and I lost pretty steady up until February of this year. I haven't lost more than 3 pounds since then, but I did drop a pants size. In my case I am having trouble increasing calories, protein and water intake. -
First, ...with all the Protein PROTEIN PROTEIN, how are we supposed to get in our vegetables (and the Vitamins they contain) Second, what calorie level are you at?? Thx Se Sent from my iPhone using LapBandTalk

Got banded July the 18 2014
Tracic replied to LADYBUG50's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was on July 15th - so pretty close. It is slow and steady for me. I started at 263 and am at 229 as of this Saturday. Still not in the green zone so I still struggle with controlling my intake. However, I think I am consistently losing because I stay between 900-1200 cal a day and do zumba 2-3x a week. I am finally starting to see it in my clothes. Hopefully my next fill will get me out of bandster hell!! I think I am close because i do feel full when I remember to eat slow and focus on protein. Good Luck and let us know how your doing! PS. I must confess I had cheese pizza today.... extra zumba this week I guess... -
ROXYYYYY!!!! Where have you been girl?! I've been thinking about you! Weird! I was like where did she go? The hair loss sucks! But not eating is contributing to it. Eat what agrees with you... All the time! How you Doing on Protein shakes? Your weight loss is going good though. .::SurgeryDate 7/25/12::.

Drinking Protein Drink/optifast
lillieb53 replied to DanWantsLapBand's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doctor had me start protein drinks the day after surgery. So, I say it's ok. -
I have started to mix my multi in with my protein shake!!

I have been over weight most of my life, and I have been thinking about my options lately...I have lots of questions and I live about 4 hours from the tbnc I would love to go for a consultation, but I still don't know if this is what I should be doing. I am also concerned about cost...nothing I have been reading talks about the cost, does OHIP cover any costs, I don't want to get my hopes up to only realize that I can't afford this....

Bras, Protein Shots and Tape
SarahMarie123 replied to SarahMarie123's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Protein Shot...made it 2/3 way through the vile.....ewwww...that is the closest I have come to vomiting! I can't wait to eat my protein...mmmmm... -
So I made an amazing discovery at the vegan (don't be scared!) supermarket in my neighborhood the other day: pumpkin seed protein. It has all the essential amino acids to make it a complete protein (plus most of the non-essential ones as well). Per 100g it has 63g of protein, 6.7g of fat (but it's good fat, including the ever important omegas), and 10g of carbs (all 10 of which are fiber!). And the best part is, it doesn't really taste like protein! It just tastes kinda "green." It's nice, sort of smokey. I've been putting it everything savory: soup, salad dressing, stir-fry, salsa, hummus, etc. I love it! It was a little expensive, but totally worth it. The company is called "Sun & Seed" (though other organic food companies may make something similar). They have a website, but it looks like it might be under construction (sunandseed.com). It seems like they're a UK company though, so I don't know how the availability of this specific brand would be in the US. All I can say is, I really, really recommend it, especially for vegans and anyone getting sick of the taste of other protein powders.
