March 2019 sleepers
jbasspromotions@gmail.com replied to HunterJsMom's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I’m eating but super small portions. What I eat in a day: AM: Protein coffee Starbucks decaf espresso with premier protein caramel, 1 oz of fiber oatmeal or grits with protein powder, 1oz of applesauce to take meds, vitamins PM1: 2oz small meal of chicken salad or tuna salad or salmon & spinach or leftovers, Whisps (my fav!!), sometimes a protein shake on the hour commute home, 1 oz of yogurt if I’m hungry PM2: if I’m hungry, sometimes I can’t eat dinner, 2 oz of the PM1 meals, 3oz of clear protein drink, sugar free pudding if I want something sweet I meal prep on Sundays; measure most things, and get 32oz of water in (trying to do better); I don’t force myself to eat and eating out doesn’t always agree with me🙂 -
Slim Jim’s I like too I know not the most healthy but it has protein and breaks my habit of hitting fast food but some places have a healthy fast food such as apple slices or oatmeal ,yogurt ,Hardee’s has real eggs ....

Ok guys... maybe you can help me with some insight if what I am feeling and experiencing is normal. I had my surgery 8 days ago and I’m now on the purées/soft food stage as my surgeon requested. I’ve been keeping track of everything I put in my mouth on the Baritastic app and every night I end up with a total of 800/900 calories consumed. I was told that I shouldn’t even be able to get close to this amount for several months...let alone 8 days out. Everything I’m eating is sugar free or fat free. I’m drinking 2 protein shakes a day...a Greek yogurt or ff cottage cheese, about 1/2 cup of cream of Chicken soup and I have been able to eat a very small amount of the ricotta bake or some puréed beans. Just tried scrambled eggs for the first time today and only could eat about 5 bites. Problem is, I am feeling hunger a lot... but then when I eat I get full fast. I am getting between 60-80 ounces of water with crystal light in easily. I have gained 1.3lbs as of today too!!! Is this normal or should I be feeling not hungry and more restricted?? I’m starting to feel discouraged.

Ten month before and after pics
Dfox1984 replied to Dfox1984's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Premier choc protein shake when I wake up, a serving of cheese for a mid morning snack, a yogurt before lunch, lunch is a small salad with chicken breast/corn/black beans/cheese, and then I eat whatever I want the rest of the day. Sometimes a protein bar throughout the day, just depends. Typically, I eat healthy but I don’t deny myself anything I want bc I eat such tiny portions it doesn’t add up to be nearly as much crap as I ate before the surgery! -
I am about 3 weeks post op and on the purée phase for the next three weeks. I am at a loss as to what to eat, as everything I have tried tastes horrible except for yogurt and broth. It also doesn’t help that I cannot keep down my chewable vitamins and the protein shakes are making me feel nauseous all the time. Any ideas of other things to eat?

Feeling lightheaded in day 2 of liquid diet. HELP!
GradyCat replied to Tiffany L.'s topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, it's very common. It gets better when you get to food but you'll have to increase your salt intake a little. I'm pretty sure you can have the yogurt on the liquid phase. Good luck! -
I am almost 3 months out. My doctor has a food plan of introducing all proteins at 4 weeks, start vegetables at 2 months, potatoes (all varieties) at 4 months, fruits at 6 months and all foods at 1 year. The nutritionist said try some fruits at 2 months as they may be easier to digest vs vegetables however be aware of carbs/sugars etc. A lot of others post here about potatoes and oatmeal a few weeks after surgery. So far all is well but I feel like I am not getting natural vitamin sources with such a limited diet. I do take calcium and bariatric multivitamin. I'm in a rut and stick to a premier shake, yogurt, some meat (protein, tuna, egg) and some limited vegetables like carrots, cauliflower, and broccoli. Is anyone else trying chia seeds? ground flax? fruits this early post op? I asked about nuts and the nutritionist said to try it slowly. When I look at Keto recipes they have a lot of foods I have not tried yet. I am feeling a little overwhelmed so I just stick with my basic foods. I have lost an average of 3 pounds per week form month 2-3 on 600 calories and started at a BMI of 35 so I think I may be losing too fast (I never thought that would be a concern). Any tips?

Feeling lightheaded in day 2 of liquid diet. HELP!
Tiffany L. posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Happy Friday y’all! So I’m on day 2 of this liquid diet. Surgery date is 5/16! I had my first protein shake at 8:30am but I’m feeling very lightheaded and woozy right now. Anyone experienced this? What can I have to help reduce it? Also can I have fat free green yogurt during the liquid diet or just the protein shakes and broth and diet drinks? I’m trying to survive on water, shakes, and broth which I have like 3 times a day. -
No you won't. You will be hungry for about 4-5 days. Pound water! Here's what I ate yesterday! I fasted through until 1pm yesterday. So each day I do an 18:6 TRE (time restricted eating). I had the following: Breakfast: Black decaff coffee + green tea + bergamot tea + turmeric/ginger tea (all unsweetened) Lunch: Big Ass Stirfry (ate it in 2 meals) Snack: Maatcha Greek Yogurt with Blueberries and Walnuts Dinner: Turkey Lettuce Cups (like tacos in lettuce)

Baby food on pureed stage
SusieQ2019 replied to VeeAurora's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told no baby food. A simple Greek yogurt with applesauce and a scoop of isopure unsweetened protein give me 42 grams of protein. My dietitian wants at least 50 grams. That's what I eat for breakfast through lunch. Later I would have split peas soup, 4oz and 3-4 oz of ground chicken pureed in crushed tomatoes. -
2nd opinion. Go back to basics. Take it one day at a time. Do the things that worked right out of surgery. Clean your crap out of the house: pantry, fridge, freezer. Go back to exercising everyday. Drink your water but don't drink with meals. Follow your old rules!!!! If you must snack, make it highly dense, low reward foods: hb eggs, raw veggies with a bit of Greek yogurt mixed with herbs and must be 100cals or less. Ditch the carbage. Focus on dense very lean proteins. Drop your cals to the level you were at when losing. Consider doing IF with EFs (extended fasts) once you are fat adapted.

Almost 5 weeks out and feeling constantly nauseous
LacyLacy3 replied to iliana00000's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My surgery was 3/18 and yes I've been experiencing the same thing. I've started on soft foods and cannot tolerate much. I stick to shakes, creamed soups with milk, yogurt and chicken salad. I vomit almost everything else up. It's really hard to eat anything honestly. I've had nausea lately also, mostly in the morning. My energy is starting to get a little better. I get very dizzy when I stand up and now I'm getting a really bad fluttering in my chest. It has been getting better - very sloooowly though lol. I just keep reminding myself to be patient. -
I’m about 2.5 weeks post op and think I have a stricture. A week before, I could eat a bit of egg or yogurt, take my necessary medication without issue. About 6 days ago, I started vomiting up everything after I tried to eat, it immediately came back up. I now struggle with even liquids and by the end of day, I have the foamies that roll out of me My surgeon is going to do a another scope on Monday to see what’s going on, and possibly an upper GI. My question is, has this happened to you? Have you had a positive outcome? I had the gastric sleeve, not really interested in a modification of surgery Am I in for a long road to recovery and relapse of a stricture. I am regretting this so much

Anyone else grossed out by the taste of these things? My surgery date is May 9th. I started the liquid diet on April 28th. I have not cheated, although I would like a calzone. I’m drinking 3 premier protein shakes, 2 Greek yogurts and all the broth and sugar free popsicles I want. These shakes are just grody. The chocolate tasted like dirt masked by artificial sweetener. The vanilla tastes like vanilla with a strong vitamin after tasted. The banana tastes like the bubble gum ice cream baskin Robbins used to sell back in the early 80’s. I’m totally disappointed in the strawberries and cream. I was hoping it would resemble a McDonald’s strawberry shake.... not even close. 🤢🤢 I’m taking all this in stride and pushing through it. Anyone have any suggestions of a shake that has the nutrients premier protein has and tastes like a nicely charred steak? 😂

June 2019 Surgery Siblings!
NEGirl72 replied to BulletWithButterflyWings's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Welcome! I just got my approval today (that was quick thanks BCBS of MA) so June 17th is a definite for me!!! I have all of my pre-op and my 2 and 6 week post-op appts scheduled. Now I'm nervous! lol I've prepped a few things too... So far I have: New blender (pricey but does awesome purees and makes soup!), digital scale, 3 cute tops in a 1x (I'm in a 2x now down from a 3x ), Vitamin E oil for scars Amazon shopping list which now I'll buy: kids fork and spoon set, 100 2oz plastic cups w/ lids, 100 4oz plastic cups with lids, Isopure Zero Carb unflavored protein powder (to throw in soups in jello), compartmentalized containers for lunch when I go back to work and an extra blender bottle for work Walmart and grocery store list: Premier Protein shakes (which I already use), Flinstones Complete Chewables, Protein20 drinks (different flavors), herbal teas, sugar free ice pops, sugar free Jello pudding mix (going to make w/ Fairlife milk), sugar free jello, Oikos Zero yogurts, cream soups, broth...etc. I plan on prepping a bunch of 2oz cups w/ yogurt, jello, jello pudding, cottage cheese...etc. I definitely need to get some transition clothes. I got rid of everything smaller sized in my closet last year when I was sick of looking at it (from 12's all the way to 26's). I have nothing smaller than my 28 jeans and a few pairs of 26/28 capris and bermuda shorts. -
Stricture- How do you deal with the awful feeling you're going to throw up?
Frustr8 replied to Briswife15's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
And I am reporting, in. Had to postpone until yesterday, had to not see the Head Nurse-Practioner Valerie but Shannon. Valerie also does the entrance visits for new people, they must have a big crop because she had nothing available until July. Shannon is pretty okay, not quite as grounded and sure of herself. Oohed and ahhed about my weight loss. Said my stomach ouch is not inflamed at the endiscopy, the stoma although still very small is patent. That means things should start moving down better. Then we come to my ulcers, they are still there in the jejumen, New theory , they have a narrowed the lumen(width) to such an extent that stuff isn't digesting well until you get to the point where stomach remaining secretions, bile and pancreatic juices get reintroduced downstream. So I will,have another endoscopy late June or into July, if thi,ngs are worse or even the same 8-to-5 chance I will require surgery. Usually by 6-8 months you're healed. And no, they didn't expect it, no way of guessing I will. have this problem. Stay on same level of diet, try to get protein more, vegan/ vegetarian okay if I still am having trouble with Greek yogurt, cottage cheese and most meats. High Protein levels will help me heal, be sure to take all meds and. minerals to keep a healthy basis in case of possible surgery. And she thinks I look great, I think still I look like Road Kill! But maybe I am over- critical with myself. -
Baby food on pureed stage
Briswife15 replied to VeeAurora's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I imagine it tastes pretty nasty. There are plenty of things for adults you can eat on the puree stage, such as refried beans, cottage cheese, yogurt, cream of rice or wheat, etc. I wouldn't waste my money on baby food, but that's just me!! I love ricotta with marinara sauce. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app -

I am up and about, trying to get my water and protein in. I am full after 2 spoonfuls of greek plain yogurt with unsweetened apple sauce and a scoop of isopure unsweetened protein powder.

All and all pain is manageable and I am not having any gas pains. Knock on wood. My cat keep trying to lay down on my stomach smh. I am thankful for my sons 20 and 23 yr old. My 9 yr old daughter is to busy playing ROBLOX with her friends. Hope everyone is doing well. -
Hello everyone. I had my VSG surgery 8/17/15. My biggest weight was 227. Day of surgery I was 199. My one year surgery anniversary I was down to 153. I started stalling then. All of a sudden I started to gain the weight back. And now almost four years later, I weigh 213. I’m right back to where I was before surgery. I walk twice a day. Have a shake for breakfast and either a shake for lunch or chobani plain Greek yogurt. Dinner is a small meal. Just chicken with veggies or salad. Night time snack around 8 is a cup of popcorn. That’s all. I’m trying to get my water in. For some reason I cannot get the weight back down. I wish there was something else I can do. Is there such a thing as a second SLEEVE? I need all the advice I can get. Thank you so much for listening to my story. Please help. I’ve been to the nut and she tells me I’m doing everything right. I spoke to my surgeon and he says the same. I see him again in August and I really don’t know what else to do.

Okay so since my pouch isn’t very fond of meat and I don’t feel like fighting her about it I’ve decided to challenge myself to Meatless May. My problem in the past when I tried to switch to vegetarianism was that I planned poorly. This time I chose to prep simple vegetarian and pescatarian meals. I bought groceries to help with my meal prep and for now I’ll use meat substitutes a couple of times a week while gradually trying Whole food recipes to add into my diet. I have a variety of nuts, seeds, nut butter, cheese,Greek yogurt,cottage cheese,etc to help me get my protein in. Also I’ll still be drinking Premier protein once a day until I get a better blender for protein smoothies (without powder,yuck).

HAPPY MAY Y'ALL!!! I started my goals early yesterday, until I decided that I would try a mango for the first time since surgery and proceeded to...just...throw up. 😵 I have a very picky sleeve (Tiny Tum, like Tiny Tim....get it? My brothers thought it was VERY funny) so that's not unusual, but not exactly the way I wanted to start the 14th month after surgery. lol. Each time I get sick, I go right back to basics. So today it's just protein shakes, jello and MAYBE a yogurt if I feel up to it tomorrow. I try and be gentle on myself because these things happen and the last thing Tiny Tum needs is me shoving 3 oz of chicken down my throat. lol. I also did 15 minutes of yoga, which I got the clear from my physical therapist for just on Friday. I hurt my hip in late March and they said "NO EXERCISE. NO WALKING NO YOGA" So getting back into it, I know I'm not going to be where I was. At least I'm not the 28-year-old doing PT with the old biddies who hurt their hips too, tho. (not that I have anything against old biddies, I self-identify as an old biddy myself. Gimme the housecoats and roller sets.)
