Every doctor requires a different pre-op diet. My doctor only required a 2 day pre-op diet that consisted of clear liquids only (apple juice, broth, Jello). You will find that other doctors require a much more rigorous pre-op diet that lasts several weeks, and consists of protein shakes. The purpose of that diet being to shrink the liver, and make surgery less risky. You will have to call your surgeon, and find out what their particular pre-op requirement is.

Protein Drinks
Time4Kindness replied to SpecialNewMe's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try adding PB2 its available at GNC where I get it for $4.00. It adds Protein and a much better peanut butter taste to the Protein shakes ( which I cant stand the taste of without PB2). Its really yummy that way! Give it a try, cant really go wrong for that price. Good luck to you! -
I read on another thread about insurance paying for the drink. Anyone know how that works Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Drpepper... I'm having my surgery here in my hometown. I'm in north Texas a town called Denison. It's about an hour north of Dallas. I'll be sure and keep you updated with anything I learn. :-) My pre op diet is just like a slim fast type thing. 2 Protein shakes and a healthy meal. I'm trying not to be scared, I think it's just the "unknown" that I'm scared of. Take care and keep in touch! -
4 wks post op
SlowlybutSurely replied to Amanda Nicole Hosaflook's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had surgery on Friday in Mexico, flew back home on Monday and went back to work on Tuesday but I don't really have a boss and work in an office alone so I really only worked a couple of hour and went home. I was sleeping quite a bit though which I think was a good thing. I'm also 4 weeks out (on Feb. 10th) and I'm blessed to feel as well as I do. I realized early on that the only times I felt really bad was when I didn't get in enough Protein and liquids. I too was having a very hard time with the liquids but know that juices count as liquids also. The only way I can even come close is to sip ALL day long. Always have your water/juice/protein shake bottle with you. I've been mixing up the Protein Shake with fruit, bananas, and I find 32 ounces gone before/around noon. After that I try to do one to two bottles of Water. I went thru a stage where I couldnt stand another protein shake but couldn't really eat meat so I just kept eating shrimp since it was easy to digest but playing around with the Protein shakes has helped a lot. I actually look forward to them everyday now. I hope you feel better soon and keep in mind that everyone is different so you have to find your niche to drinking and eating so you can feel better. -
I have approximately 60 grams of Protein a day. I am grazing on foods that we're allowed to eat: low fat cheese, unsweetened apple sauce, etc. but I tend to each something every 90 minutes. How do I control this?

Google/go on the internet and do a search for "Protein content for venison" or "Protein content for meats" and etc.

Had surgery Nov 26th and I'm averaging around 850 calories a day now. Is this normal or am I eating too many? Rarely reaching my protein goals, but trying very hard to eat healthy.

I am sorry this happened to you and can only imagine your disappointment. On the bright side, your body will be ready for the surgery when you go back in 6 weeks and it will be much safer for you. I am not sure how often this happens. My physician puts his patients on a mostly liquid diet for 2 full weeks prior to surgery to shrink the liver. You get a Protein shake for Breakfast and lunch. Then you can have a small lean protien for dinner like a chicken breast and a small salad.

Struggling with excercise
NewSetOfCurves replied to EvEisMySleeve's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My advice is to look at exercise as a job. Average people have to work. They have no choice. Don't make exercise an option, make it a necessity that you can't live without. Do what works for you. My day is long. I teach at the high school level, I tutor after school and I coach a dance team after that. Then I go home to a house filled with 4 kids. My days are never ending and exhausting. But I get up at 4 in the morning and get my one hour in. It is what works for me because I'm too tired and still too busy after work to get it in, in the evening. On my days off I concentrate on lifting, because now that school is back in session, lifting doesn't fit into my afternoons. Point is...I make and find the time. Tired or not, it is a must and necessity to live a longer and healthier life style. Not to mention that I love what it has done for my physique. Hope you find an exercise and time that works for you! -
Protein puddings for all you that can't eat breakfast folks.
Kayford posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi there, I found some Sylvester Stallone high Protein pudding at GNC and it works great for all of you that can't eat Breakfast or lunch like me. 20 grams of protein 1 g carb 2 g fat. It really helps and makes you feel like you had something which is more than tea, coffee, or Soup does. It is a little expensive at $1.75 a can but heck a Starbucks is $4 and does not have the same nutritional value. They had choc, banana, and vanilla. I liked the choc the best. A bypasser turned me on to it. Yummm Kay in St Jo Mo:hungry: -
I just need to vent. We have an ongoing dispute with the neighbors across the alley. It is a long story, but let me assure you that we have never done anything to them (until when I finally got sick of it after 4 years and told the wife what I thought of her a few months ago...) Now, it's to the point that we cannot even go out in our own alley without getting harrassed by these people. When I flew home from having my surgery, they were in the alley, harrassing us. Tonight, my husband didn't go outside to do snow removal until 11pm in hopes that they would be in bed and would leave him alone. Oh no....that would be way too easy. The next thing I know is a cop is ringing my doorbell. Apparently, my husband was outside shoveling and the a**hole across the street came outside and tried to start a fight with him. My husband immediately just called 911 so things would not escalate any further. This is just ridiculous that we can't even live in our own house without being harrassed. We have contacted a lawyer, but the lawyer doesn't even think he will be able to do any good. Moving is not an option, does anyone have any suggestions?

Rheumatoid arthritis
Djmohr replied to meantforsunshine's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@meantforsunshine Hi There, Congratulations on having your surgery. So sorry that you now have this crappy diagnosis. I have Psoriatic Arthritis and my mother had Rheumatoid arthritis. Recently I started showing signs of Rheumatoid as well and I was tested for it when I was tested for Psoriatic and the tests were negative. Not sure what the Paddison program is but I will tell you this. I have to limit my Protein because of kidney issues caused by years of medications for my arthritis and being overweight. I have a strict no more than 65 grams of protein per day or it taxes my kidneys. I eat a diet mainly of meat, veggies and fruit. I have noticed that my Psoriatic Arthritis has improved so much since my 152lb weight loss. My disease has been in remission and the only time it seems to kick up now is when they put me on oral or IV steroids so I avoid them unless it is life threatening which has not happened since 9 months post op. In fact, I spoke with my doctor on tuesday and we have been weaning me off of cyclosporine which is a immuno suppressant and are even lowering my dose of Stelar which i get every 10 weeks now. It used to be 8 weeks and double the dose. There is even talk of removing me from it completely at some point. So, I tell you all this because both my rheumatologist and my dermatologist are amazed at the transformation this surgery has done for my health. I suffered with Psoriatic Arthritis which is auto immune my whole adult life. I remember the onset began when the weight started piling in in my mid 20's. Obviously with RA, the goal is always to get you on a biologic that stops the progression and the same is true of Psoriatic arthritis so i am nervous about taking me off of the thing that gave me my life back. Anyway.....the diet you are speaking of meats, veggies and fruits are exactly what got me to the point that I am at. I did not have to pay for a special diet as this really is what the bariatric diet is centered around. Not sure if this helps but it has been my personal experience and I could not be happier. -
I will have my band done in Mexico next month. Anyone have info on financing options. I will need to get a loan and was wondering if anyone had ideas on which companies are worth contacting.

4 days post op & had my 1st protein drink, now my tummy feels like it has a monster in it!
jsayles replied to banditchic's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I too was sleeved on Monday and am finding it very difficult to get any protein in. The supplements I got from my nut make me sick just smelling them. I can drink chocolate milk ( even though I shouldn't be) and I bought some baby food but I cannot stomach those chocolate shakes and gelatin. How bad is it if I cannot get my protein in? And the gas......omg don't get me started! -

4 days post op & had my 1st protein drink, now my tummy feels like it has a monster in it!
AStephenson replied to banditchic's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
This could be my story! My midsection has been rumbling horribly (and emitting noxious fumes! LOL) since my first introduction of protein drinks/broth after surgery. It's really bothersome as I worry about all the extra gas putting too much pressure on my new tummy! I think I'm going to try some egg protein powder instead of whey isolate and see if that makes any difference. -

I am on the pre-op diet right now, I am supposed to do shakes 2x a day and then a high protein & low starch veggie meal. I was wondering if I can add PBfit to my shakes. I tried to call me Dr. but his office is closed Friday....anyone else allowed to use this?

I have made these a few times and I thought it was worth sharing. I was worried that the turkey would be dry, but it wasn't at all! I think the veggies kept them nice and juicy! I have also made this with lean ground beef and it was good too! NOTE: This recipe is REALLY spicy! The second time I made it I only put ONE chipotle pepper (SEEDS REMOVED) in the meat mixture and did not put any chipotle sauce in the ketchup mixture and it was much better to me....especially since we don't drink with our meals. Ingredients For Meat Loaf: 1 small yellow onion, coarsely chopped 1 medium carrot, peeled and coarsely chopped 1 stalk of celery, coarsely chopped 2 canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce 1 (20-ounce) package JENNIE-O TURKEY STORE® lean ground turkey breast 1/2 cup quick cooking oats 2 egg whites For Topping: 1/4 cup fat free and sugar free ketchup 1 tablespoon chipotle pepper adobo sauce 1 tablespoon brown sugar substitute (such as Splenda® Brand) Cooking Directions Preheat oven to 350°F. In the work bowl of a food processor, combine onion, carrots and celery. Pulse until finely chopped. Add chipotle peppers and pulse until just combined. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey with the pepper and vegetable mixture. Add egg whites and oats; gently mix until combined. Place about 1/3 cup of the prepared meatloaf mixture into 9 wells of a standard size muffin pan that has been lightly sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, combine all of the topping ingredients in a small bowl; set aside. Remove meat loaves from oven and spoon the topping over each meatloaf. Return meatloaf to the oven and continue to bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until meatloaf is firm and the internal temperature registers 170°F. Let meatloaf stand for 5 minutes before serving. Makes 9 mini loaves.

If you have a costco close to you the vanilla premier Protein... is great! Taste like tapioca pudding! The chocolate Premier Protein is a wonderful smooth chocolate flavor! You can taste the Vitamins in them, however they are very yummy! They have 30 grams of protein in each shake too. I have tried others, but these are my fav!

Lower your carb intake and up your protein. Also, try and limit your alcohol consumption.
