I need help - 1 yr out but 6-mos stall and not at goal
songsmith replied to songsmith's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Pretty sure I have. I went off over the holidays and gained about 10 pounds. I had stopped logging, so went back to eating as I had and started logging and weighing again. I was eating the same things I had before in (I think) same amounts. Lost the weight gain. Then have only maintained since then. I didn't realize how long this had been going on because I had a bad thyroid (cancer) for a long time before my surgery and had experienced long, long stalls because of that. I guess I was used to it, so it didn't register this shouldn't still happen. Then, like I said, I screwed up over the Holidays. But, yes, basically since about July I have been at the same weight (other than the 10-pound gain and subsequent loss). It's possible my portions were larger before the holidays I guess, but I really don't think so. I get all my protein from real food and don't do shakes or bars because I'm cheap. I eat veggies and the occasional fruit (no more than 1 oz.) with Greek yogurt for breakfast. I don't eat bread or rice or potatoes or sugary stuff. Two mistakes I pinpointed was drinking Fairlife milk with my decaf in an effort to get in more protein (I forgot about the calories involved) and eating too much cheese when we didn't have other protein in the house. I have cut out cheese because that's so high in calories and I don't think it was helping me. Also stopped the milk. Right now I'm trying to decide between upping calories, staying this low or trying to reset my sleeve. So, it's possible I was consuming more calories than I thought even though I wasn't "eating" a lot. But in my tracking of food I have noted I just can't seem to lose if I go over the 800 mark. -

Amy Sty replied to Amy Sty's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
How are you all doing? What are you eating in a day? I'm drinking some protein, eating some nonfat yogurt, some soup and that's about it. Oh and water. Water. Are you sleeping, I'm struggling. -

Lunch- I piece of tilapia 19 grams of protein. Snack 100 cal greek yogurt vanilla 13 grams of protein. dinner 4-5 oz turkey or chicken or a piece of fish. Daily work out: not enough but usually 3 days a week. 1 hr on the tread mill at about 3mph then I work on strength training on either arms legs or stomach for about 30 minutes How hungery are you?: not very, mostly head hunger. When I'm not busy I tend to want to reach for food How you feel physically: better then I have in a long time. How you feel emotionally:torn, somedays are really good and others I want to eat like I used to or I want the weight to come off faster. Its crazy. Are you glad you chose the sleeve?:I'm glad I chose the sleeve Anything extra to say?: I often wonder if I will be one of the people that stop loosing weight after I have dropped 50 pounds and I always worry that I will be one of the people that gains my weight back. -
I had plication surgery this last Monday, the 10th, by Dr. Abril in Mexicali. I had a very easy time of it so far, no pain discomfort and my stomach seems to feel very happy. Today, since things have been so good, I decided to try some yoplait yogurt VERY slowly, a few bites and no problem, no discomfort, no heatburn. I felt satisfied and concerned a little that is was that easy. I never had acid reflux before and I never got hearburt or indigestion either, did you have those problems before? I kinda want to think that maybe your tummy is just sensitive right now. Try only intoducing one new item a day and slowly, instead of several, that way you will know which one is the culprit. Good Luck!

Hi, everyone! I've been lurking here for about 2 months, and I really appreciate everyone's posts. They have been so helpful now and also when I was trying to decide on the surgery. Well... I took the plunge. Eight days ago, I had gastric plication surgery with Dr. Corvala. Everything has been going really well. No problems to speak of until...today. Today was my first day on full liquids plus chewable vitamins and calcium. I had a couple of spoonfuls of yogurt, coffee w/ creamer, and creamy soup--all for the first time. And all day my stomach hasn't been overly happy with the change. Has anyone found that they got heartburn or stomach pain/discomfort when you went from clears to full liquid? Thanks for any thoughts! Alex

That's awesome!!! I'm excited do u have to do a pre-op diet? I have to do 2 weeks of nothing but yogurt, pudding, cottage cheese, 3 oz. portions of meat and tons of veggies but nothing over 800 calories a day

Hi! I just had surgery on July 14th and am on the pureed phase now. I am no where near the goal on the grams of Protein. Do you all rely on Protein drinks in this phase? And another worry I'm having....I don't feel full when I eat. I could eat the whole 5 ounce yogurt but I make sure I stop 2/3 way through it. Should I be worried about that? Thanks in advance!!!

Any april 2014 sleevers? I need buddies!
Tammylb replied to jacquelynndiaz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I do the same as you . I eat meat meat and oh yea meat. I drink a premiere protein shake half at a time . Your body can't absorb all that protein at one time. I eat a egg a day and a 100 cal Greek yogurt . I love the p3 protein snacks and turkey jerky bites. I was eating seafood but my hair was thinning so I switched to cooking beef patties ( for iron) on George Forman with sautéed mushroom and onions peppers . I am a slow and steady 2 pounds per week looser . -
What is on your menu today 5 weeks out?
saralyn4 replied to guthsj's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I will be 4 weeks out tomorrow and am on soft foods. Right now, Greek yogurt is my favorite. It goes down nice & smooth, 3 oz and 8 grams of Protein. I start the day with that, and then for lunch or dinner might have an ounce of chicken breast with green Beans, or a turkey slice with a little bit of cheese. I haven't branched out too much yet, I'm sticking to the things I know go down well. I like Soups too, minestrone (without the noodles), veggie Soup, soups with chicken & beans. -
The honeymoon phase (+more)
LipstickLady replied to crazyweight's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My forever "diet" calls for 60-80g of Protein a day. Even at almost 15 months out, I have little room for fruits and veggies during a meal. I do 6 mini meals a day because my restriction is very tight. Can you do Beans? Tofu? Vegan Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt? -
4 Days Post Op
rebeccaburlinparrsih69 replied to LoseItKacy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Compassion is something some just do not have, I had my surgery on the 28th. it will get easier. Same with me on the yogurt though. I don't know if you like fresh lemon aid but that feels good on my stomach also. As for your family, ignore them you have the will power to do this, you can accomplish it with support from others on here. -
Sharp pain in middle upper abdomen 4 days out
AmberB88 replied to AmberB88's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved the 11the also! Ya in going to see if I can get my primary doc to rx some liquid Omeprazole. I've been using the Insides of the capsules but it's so gross I can't tolerate well. If was also in the hospital for two days from vomiting. I can't believe I've read that people are tempted to eat this early. I don't even want go drink! I am trying to make sure I get the liquids and I think your right on the yogurt. I'm gonna just stop that since it seems to be making it worse. Thanks for the advice! -
It sounds like you are off to a great start! You could try things like poached eggs, tofu, seedless yogurt, applesauce. HTH!

I fortify my Greek Yogurt with GNC unflavored Protein powder. It raises the protein to 30 grams and the calories are under 300. This way I get half my protein in first thing in the morning. Makes my day go much better!

I don't normally like Greek yogurt (too sour creamy to me) but I know it's packed with lots o Protein so I've tried to like it. Just about 5 days ago, I bought 6 different brands/flavors to give them all a fair shake. The best so far? Trader Joes Vanilla strawberry Open Nature Honey I HATE Chobani, Oikos, and Yoplait. Fage is good, just not fantastic. I also bought a Dannon Light and Fit (cappucino flavor) just haven't tried it yet. It's got the smallest amt of calories. I think it's 80. I don't really look at the carbs - just calories and protein. The TJ's has hefty calories (180) for a tub of yogurt (it's 8 oz vs the normal 6). Good luck in finding a good one. I Luv luv luv the 90 cal Fat Free Yoplait fruit blends but there's barely any protein in them. Still fairly healthy in my mind. Better than a Snickers bar! I consider anything healthy thats better than a Snickers bar! Sad, I know...

I don't think any yogurt has zero sugar. I've been eating dannon light and fit Greek yogurt in vanilla. I have been able to tolerate it since week two. It's a life savor for me. 12 grams of protein and 80 calories.

I am 5 weeks out from surgery and can eat pretty much anything now. I haven't tried certain things (like lettuce or fruit) but so far everything has been OK. the thing is, i'm running out of things to eat. this was my problem before surgery and its my problem now - i'm a picky eater! and i get sick of things easily. i can only get down 2-3oz of food comfortably and that is great, except that obviously will not give me enough Protein and it takes me an hour (sometimes more!) to eat. i've been having a Protein shake in the AM, a Protein Bar for lunch (it was cheese last week), and then meat for dinner. usually i have to throw in some protein hot chocolate as well. i know i should be eating regular foods but i don't have the damn time and i am out of foods to eat. would i like a hard boiled egg? yes, i would but i would only be able to eat 1 and that is like 6g of protein - big whoop. i'd rather just suffer through a protein shake and get 20g in the AM. i am sick of tuna fish and chicken salad. i bought store brand deli chicken and low fat low sodium cheese and tried to do roll ups. well they just tasted disgusting. i tried making tilapia but it didn't taste great (i think it was frozen too long). i have been living off of meatballs for the past week. i'm going to try chicken tonight. next week i'll make chicken burgers. i do love dairy (hate greek yogurt though) but its got so much fat. how do you find a balance between eating and getting enough protein and using supplements? i just feel overwhelmed and never know what to eat. what am i supposed to bring for lunch? if i don't bring lunch, what the hell am i supposed to eat out? how am i supposed to get all of my protein in? I should add that it is just me - i don't cook for a husband or family. I'm also 23 so my cooking isn't that great. LOL HELP!

4 Weeks Out just arrived in ONEderland!
anonynurse replied to time-4-change's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Good for you! That is awesome. I likely will have bits of: mashed avocado homemade hummus (I'll try mixing Protein powder into it to try to boost the protein content). Greek nonfat yogurt scrambled eggs blended Soups such as split pea with ham and lentil Soup (also with attempt to add protein powder) Protein Powder ice cream juicy roasted chicken blended with gravy to a soft consistency (or beef or any other meat my family is eating, my portion doctored so I can eat with them) Campbell's Soup At Hand, tuna salad butter chicken, pureed to baby food consistency mashed banana blended with Peanut Butter Roasted garlic polenta grits with a bit of butter or reduced fat cream cheese mixed in with pepper pumpkin pie innards Mashed sweet potato Low fat cottage cheese Baked pureed skinless apple with cinnamon Baked potato soup, blended (homemade of course) Cream of mushroom soup, blended (also homemade) Chilled cucumber soup with garlic and mint Mushroom risotto with parmesan Fresh fruit sorbet, homemade with whatever is in season (peaches, strawberry, etc) And probably tons of more stuff. Let me know if you want recipes -
I was banded 9-28 I have lost 14 lbs. and I am happy. I haven't been perfect but when I cheat I do frozen yogurt. I had my first real food on Thursday an egg and two small pieces of ham lunch meat. I ate it at 12:30 and at 6:30 I was still just stuffed. It was only about 100 calories. IT WAS SO WEIRD. It is hard because sometimes I want to keep eating but I am afraid I might hurt my self so I stop. My first fill is in Nov. on the 16th, it is going to be 500.00 for the first one! The next ones will be about 259.00. When you get to your sweet spot do you just stay there? Guess I've rambled enough, thanks for "listening" Cleone

What is/was your pre-op diet?
mannybear replied to momnear40's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
seems like every surgeon has their own pre-op requirements. mine (surgery is wednesday) was two-weeks long. four protein shakes a day; six servings of any of the following: SF pudding, plain cream of wheat, 1% cottage cheese, 8 oz nonfat yogurt, plain oatmeal, vegetable juice; and unlimited broth, SF jello, popsicles and beverages. definitely not the best two weeks of my life, but certainly two of the most challenging/rewarding. i feel so strong mentally. good luck with your pre-op and surgery! -
How can I slow myself down from eating too fast?
NovaLuna replied to ChattyKathie's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Probably the only reason I don't have that issue is because I have EOS (it's an autoimmune disorder that causes narrowing in the throat and can cause choking) and because of that for the past few years I've eaten really, really, really slowly because choking freaks me out and after wayyyy too many ER visits with food stuck in my throat I finally got a clue. 😓 My advice, take smaller bites and chew your food to MUSH before swallowing. If you are eating foods that you don't need to chew (yogurt, cottage cheese, etc.) then just take a small bite and then set the food aside for 30 seconds to a minute before taking another bite. Still keep with the small bites. -

shawnak911 replied to crivera's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm on day two post surgery. I have one more day of clear liquids. Then I have ten days of soft foods. Yogurt, pudding etc. Then I go to real food. So that's two weeks out. Just start small. -

Stage 2 -One solid meal replacement. (Question)
Dashofpixiedust8 replied to crivera's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It is odd that each surgeon has different diets after surgery. At 2 weeks after surgery I was JUST starting pureed diet. If you are concerned I suggest you eat something soft like eggs, refried Beans, greek yogurt, fish, or making chicken and pureeing it with some broth, sauce, or milk. If you don't feel comfortable then don't eat something so solid. It is suggested to follow your surgeons plan but but I feel like thats more the rule for when you want to move faster than their plan, if you want to move slower that is up to you!
