100 pounds in 7 months! (with pictures)
Tinaatl replied to Tinaatl's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
TARPHR - I usually eat around 800 calories a day. I follow the rules and eat high protein (about 3 ounces at a time always measured!) avoiding sugar and carbs. I try do drink alcohol only once a week. Also, I track everything I eat on My Fitness Pal. I'm TinaATL on there and my diary is public if you want to exactly what type of foods I eat. I still have a piece of dark chocolate almost every day but it's just one 42 calorie Dove dark promise instead of a king size Snickers like in the "old days". -
My doctor also gave me a card. I don't know if I will use it, but I just like to know I have the option to. Also, I think if you are going out to a buffett, you would get a lower price, if they wanted to honor the card. Buffets are like $14 or so in some places. For kids is a couple of dollars. A lot of really unscale restaurants have clam chowder and really delicious soups for about $4 and under for a nice size cup. All in all, I just want to have the option if I feel like doing it! Audree

You could try and switch to another PPI. Some work better than others for different people. When you have your "hunger" pains try taking Rolaids or maaloxx to see if that helps. Also, are you getting plenty of Water? Thirst can feel like hunger. 64oz is minimum, but if you are in a warm climate, 100oz would be a better goal. How many calories are you getting in? How much Protein? Fat? Carbs? In general, If you aren't getting dizzy or light headed or nauseous and you have plenty of energy and feel good, then you are probably getting enough nutrition. Don't let your stomach dictate how much you eat cause it's just been cut open from top to bottom and isn't nearly healed yet, so the signals it is sending cannot be trusted.

I am exactly 2 weeks post op today. I am feeling great! My incisions are so small and look really good. I got to start on full liquids on Sunday and have over a week left on this stage and I'm already sick of full liquids already. I typically have 1 protein shake each day than try to get at least 40 more oz. of water in. I should try to up that some. It isn't difficult for me to drink it's just A LOT of fluids. I have finally started to get some restriction on creamy soups. I am finding that I am eating too fast. I have started stopping and taking a break and I find after a couple of minutes that I am full and don't want the rest. Slowing down when I'm eating is going to be a huge adjustment for me! As far as weight loss goes, it has really slowed down for me. Last week I was at 171 and this morning I was at 167.4. So, that's a 3.6 lb loss for the week. The last 4 days I haven't lost anything. I know it will happen, I am just being my usual impatient self. I have heard of the 3 week stall, but I think I hit a 10 day stall. Lol. Honestly, I am going to have to be realistic and look at my journey on a monthly basis and to be honest, I would be pretty happy with an 11 lb loss for the month, so I shouldn't complain about a 4 day stall.

Well it depends on what you can eat. I can eat salads so McDonald's grilled chicken bacon ranch or cescar salad is really good. For breakfast what about a Protein shake or slim fast For Snacks fruit or Jello For lunch grilled chicken sandwich without the bread or salad. Wendy's have chilli Don't forget Soups also or mash potatoes It's a lot things to get you have to make the right choices with foods you can eat. I only eat a piece of bread. No a hole sandwich or biscuit. I have to protect my 15000.00 investments

im back home from surgery!
missrach replied to choopie's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I had my surgery on the 9th, and I know EXACTLY how you feel! I'm not really that hungry, and I have to force protein and water into my system. I just sip on 16 oz bottle of water for an hour, and then protien for 3. Good luck to you, honey! -
Picadillo because it gives you flavorful Protein and you can serve with anything. You can have lettuce wraps, tortillas, tacos, with rice and Beans, with eggs.... 1 medium onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, chopped 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 pound ground beef 1/4 cup stuffed pimento olives, chopped Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper Crushed red pepper flakes 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce ( or chopped tomatoes) In a large skillet over medium heat, saute onions, garlic, and pepper in olive oil until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add ground beef and olives and continue stirring to break up and brown the meat. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. When beef has browned, add tomato sauce gradually while stirring. Cook 1 to 2 minutes longer to incorporate sauce sometimes i substitute the olives with golden raisins and add some toasted almonds...or i keep the olives and add it anyway

Make your own Protein Shakes
Katie2010 replied to leftover_eidoes's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
What brand of unflavored protein are you using. I'm in Canada and spent most of the day yesterday looking. From many years experience with protein powders, I know some don't mix as well as others. With unflavored - can you cook with it - or only add to cooked foods? Any insight would help.............. Katie -
I use Ultimate Nutrition ProStar natural flavor Protein. It has 25 grams of protein per serving. You can get it here Ultimate Nutrition or via Amazon too. I've not cooked with it, but am told (here in a post) that it's not a good idea because it turns into a gooey mess.

Orgasms, Erections, Sex, No need for Viagra and all night long fun!!!!
FeliciaLevy75 replied to dab's topic in The Guys’ Room
hahahahah I was going to make the Protein comment, too! I told a male friend of mine about the band and how I track my food, etc. I said, "I track anything that goes into my mouth." He raised one eyebrow and said, "anything?" Alas, I found no entry on The Daily Plat for the "extra protein." *wink* -
I was reading on here about how great the stuff is. I went today to GNC, they did not have Arnica Montana but they had Arnica Relief cream and pills. Are these the same thing as Montana? I hope so, I bought them just in case, they were $7.95 each. I also got to sample several types of protein drinks. The best were Pro complex GNC brand chocolate fudge, strawberry, and cookies and cream. They are 22gm of protein per scoop and 4 carbs.

The only protein shake I can drink is the ready to drink Banana Creme Muscle Milk...6 grms of carbs

How Much Calories? Protein? Fat? Carbs?
DallasMomofTwins posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
11 weeks out, only 28.5 pounds lost...going to start tracking...how many calories? Protein? Fat? Carbs? (no real exercise to speak of) thanks' -
I am one day out. I went in at 6:30 am and was banded a little after noon. I didnt make it home until around 5:00 pm and I was dying of thirst. First day I probably sipped my tea and Water a lot faster than I should have. Day two, I got one pack of tomato soup Protein down and a bunch of water and tea. I went to the store and bought a bunch of veggies to make veggie stock. Tomorrow I plan on making a big pot to suppliment my liquid diet. I called the docs office to see if I could use 3 tsp of olive oil in my stock and got a fairly negative response. I told them the sheet says I could have stock soup. She said something about store bought and I just dropped it. Store bought is full of MSG and other stuff I dont want to consume. NO idea why she would be so negative about home made.

people who con't to loose weight- share ur secrets!
itsyvonne replied to aligirrl77's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Have healthy, sit-down meals w/your family and eat the same things they are eating. If you're too tight for eating most 'regular' foods (solid proteins, vegetables), then you may be too tight, period. -
Thank God someone posted about this.....I'm starting mine tomorrow for two wks and wanted to know some of the acceptable foods...I have my protein shaker and yogurt does it have to be any specific kind? I have Greek....don't really like the taste if the others. Can I do oatmeal I'm really concerned about liver issue

Kell, same here. I was banded on the 13th too, healing fine, and getting hungry. Six weeks full liquids now. My NUT called today so I asked her how to make this doable. She said my surgeon likes a big weight loss during these six weeks so basically, tough it out. I can have soups, so before I left work I drank an Ensure Clear for protein, and when I got home, I walked the treadmill and then modified my own soup. I used organic black bean soup in the blender with about a handful of frozen peas. Heated it up and it was heavenly. Just that extra thickening from the pureed peas is satisfying me now. I have a feeling that my blender will be my friend for the near future. Oh, today I realized that even the pudding and yogurt I was eating wasn't getting a chance to satisfy me because I've been sipping water nonstop all day. Back to no liquids after eating for half an hour, even if eating is also a liquid. Seems obvious now, but I didn't notice it was flushing those foods through faster. So when I waited after pudding today to drink water, I stayed satisfied longer. Hope this helps.

Clothes Shopping Chaos!
Sajijoma replied to HeadOverMeals's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I love all the options. I just have to watch myself because I want to keep shopping and looking beautiful in new clothes, but realistically I know I won't get much use of them because I'm still losing and go through a size every 2 months or so. It can be daunting. I also have had to learn that just because one pair of pants fit doesn't mean I have to buy every color or wash because there are so many more options now! [emoji4] -
Clothes Shopping Chaos!
Djmohr replied to HeadOverMeals's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Options, Options and more Options! I love clothes shopping now. I joke with my husband about it. I liken it to when he walks into Best Buy and his eyes glaze over......men and electronics. I worked there for 25 years and i had to keep a short leash on him when he went in shopping. Now, that is totally me! We can walk through a store with any clothes in it and I almost tune everything out. I know that I can fit in almost anything and they will have my size! I find myself trying on things that others left in the dressing room just because I can. Now of course I have to refrain some because I am not yet a lottery winner but God help me if I ever become a lottery winner. I would have huge closets full of beautiful clothes, shoes and handbags. When I was fat, I hated shopping unless it was for handbags. That is where I spent all of my money. LOL.....now it's hard because I also love shoes! It's not overwhelming to me, just an absolute blast because I have not been able to shop like that since I was a teenager. -
HI everyone! I start my pre op diet in 2 weeks, and I'm a little worried about what Protein shakes I should have. My Dr. says 2 Protein Shakes daily and a salad with light dressing and chicken. Can you all give me some examples or share some of your pre op diet meals. What shakes are tasty? Help! Thanks all Stephanie

They're not really shakes, but I mix unflavored protein with Crystal Light, no sugar added fruit juices diluted with 1/2 water, broth and cream soups. I find that very little if any taste is added and they go down great.

I like Premier Portien from Costco, it has 30 grms protein and only 5grms carbs and just 160 calories.
