Non-NSAIDs Pain Relievers
blondiebabs replied to blondiebabs's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
hmmm a cream sounds interesting. I'm going to talk to my PCP on Monday and ask him what options I have too, I'll post if he has any suggestions. -
Hey all you twenty-somethings! I thought I'd let you know how I'm going to give you a bit of encouragement if any of you are yet to be sleeved. I got out of hospital a little over a week ago and I'm doing absolutely terrific! After all the reading I've done on this site of other people's issues post-surgery with getting food down I was a bit spooked by it all. So far so good - I've been able to eat absolutely everything I need to with no hassles what-so-ever. Milk is fine, fibrous food is fine and even Protein is fine (though it doesn't take much protein to get me full). I thought I'd share it with you because I personally was really worried about how much discomfort I would be in when eating. I'm not sure if it's because of my age, that maybe I've healed really quickly but it could be that. So don't get too worried about it - just go with the flow and test yourself but try not to overdo it. I did have one sliming incident but that because the nurses were forcing me to have some jelly the next day after surgery. I encourage burping early on in recovery - it really helps you feel better, especially cause our new stomachs don't have as much room for storing gases as our old ones did! Good luck to you all - you'll do great!

Realization - Eating Habits
NurseGrace replied to NurseGrace's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
That could be it too however personally I THINK I am eating enough. I am averaging about 600 calories a day but I've been making them count for the most part with good Protein and stuff. It's also not helping that I am looking for work right now so I am at home TOO MUCH. -
SURGERY MARCH 19...SLIM FAST 321 DIET

Hey guys! I was sleeved in July of 2011. Since then, I've had some problems. Once I started on soft foods, I was not able to keep my food down. In September of 2011, I had to have my gallbladder removed. I was still nauseated after every meal, but able to keep the food down...until about January of this year. I recently had an endoscopy and an upper GI with a barium swallow. My tests indicated that I have pretty severe acid reflux and a hiatal hernia. I just got back from the doctor. His recommendation was medicine and time, or some sort of tissue repair surgery. It seems they can't do the typical hernia repair fundoplication because the part of the stomach that was removed is used for that. He said another option is to convert my sleeve to a gastric bypass. Has anyone had anything similar happen to them? Also, I am a cash pay patient...should the tissue repair surgery or gastric bypass conversion be covered under the 1 year complication coverage? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Is anyone else having major pain while eating and drinking. I I eat it hurts and I am nauseous. I called and went to my doctor he said to go back To liquids. I did today and I couldn't even get the protein shake down....I am five weeks out. I just Had an upper GI but I didn't know if anyone else had experienced this.

I have those days. I just try to concentrate on my protein and I'm learning to use high protein foods as snacks instead of carby junk.

Kidney stones post op!
shedo82773 replied to pascui19's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Well, I think I'm ok. I had my RNY July 2, 2013. Every since I had my WLS all I have room for is my Protein!! I have always loved my Veggies so this is hard on me!! But....now I think I'm ok with it. Those are some of my favorite veggies too. Did he say anything about Sleeve Patients or is it just the RNYer's? Hubby had the Sleeve June 3, 2016 so just wondering. -
How much protein should i eat a day
Nathalie replied to lljpaisley's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
1 gram per pound? Dayum! That's a lotta Protein for most of us newbies! How in the world would I get in 285 grams of protein per day? My doc recommended 60 - 80. Most people shoot for 100 or so. I'd be happy with that. -
I am confused. I don't think i eat enough protein in a day. I was banded in june of 2005 (about 18 months ago) and am always trying to find new ways to eat healthy. I could have sworn that the dietitian (who i am no longer seeing) told me about 40 grams a day. I went to another site, a nutrition site, that said a women should get about 7 grams a day. Another site, one about exercise, said you should get about 1 gram per pound of body weight. Big difference! What were you told by your doctor or dietitian?

Preparing for Surgery via Shopping Therapy
Bufflehead posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My surgery is in just under three weeks, so today was devoted to SPENDING MONEY on all the stuff I will need/want. And here is where I am going to tell you all about it in excruciating detail. http://www.onestopplus.com/ - front-closing leisure bra, empire waist dress, shorty pajamas http://www.amazon.com - 2 x 100 1 oz. medicine cups (to measure/control fluid intake), mini-muffin pan and liners (for the "bites" recipes from Eggface), mini ice cube trays (for making smoothies and shakes), gas-x strips, anti-skid fuzzy socks, Celebrate multi-complete bariatric vitamins with iron, extra large heating pad, blender bottle, Syntrax Nectar medical unflavored protein powder, digital thermometer, small blender. http://www.bjsbariatrics.com/ - Syntrax Nectar sample pack http://www.unjury.com/store/protein/ - Unjury starter kit with 2 packets of five flavors of protein powder, shaker bottle, and food thermometer. http://chikenutrition.com - Chike variety pack w/ 6 flavors Chike protein http://www.mybariatricpantry.com/ - 2 bottles Isopure Plus, Syntrax Matrix sample pack with all 8 flavors (including the famed mint cookie flavor!), Metabolic Nutrition Protizyme sample pack with 5 flavors including my favorite Peanut Butter Cookie, fruit drinks variety pack, pudding/shake variety pack, cappuccino protein drink, and Bariatric Advantage chewable probiotics http://www.vitalady.com - Dymatize Nutrition Elite Whey sample packs in butter cream toffee, mocha, chocolate mint, and gourmet vanilla; BSN Lean Dessert protein powder samples in banana cream pudding, vanilla whipped cream, and fresh cinnamon roll. I also bought a new comforter from Kohl's because mine has gotten kind of ratty and dirty and I figure I can get myself something new, beautiful, and, well, comforting that I'm going to be using during my recovery. This process is expensive even before figuring in direct medical costs! I'm really excited, even if I'm not excited about looking at my bank account balance right now. -
3 months RNY post-op eating challenged????
DelayedGratification replied to DelayedGratification's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks so much for all the great insight and reassurance this what I'm experiencing is normal for 3 months post op. I'm trying to stay focused on protein as that's what the doctor stressed and even though my larges protein source is still shakes, I'm okay with that. I do tend to lean toward the fish, shrimp and scallops when I do try and eat real food so I'm feeling ya New Orleans RNY buddy. I can certainly relate to those of you that posted, "I get hungry but then done after two bites" that's exactly where I am right now. I seem to eat fresh fruit, mostly berries, very we'll but not so much on vegetables. Anyone got any good vegetable recipes I might try? -
Quick Poll - best purer food to start on!
smileygal replied to smileygal's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
What about protein rich food? Puree casserole? -
I guess it depends on what "eating normally" means. Eating "normally" got me to almost 600 pounds. At 10-days post op my surgeon/NUTS program still had me on full liquids. I didn't progress to soft foods until the third week. What does your NUT advise? Whether or not you care what any of us say, I would highly suggest you care what your NUT and surgeon say. You are in their care. In the first few weeks after surgery eating "healthy" means allowing yourself to heal after major surgery. Following the food stages (texture) helps you to heal with a minimum of complications. So does focusing on getting enough Protein and fluids. I was cleared to get in the pool about 4 weeks post-op, once my incisions had completely closed up. I've been in the pool ever since.

Are there any restaurants Bari friendly?
higher replied to jackieu2012's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@LowBMISleever Sooo funny. I live in NYC but visit PB a few times a year. I was actually down there for my pre-op diet even! And I agree, restaurant dining is really enjoyable with the sleeve. I get to have a few bites of delicious professionally made Protein - kind of exotic compared to what I eat at home - and I don't leave the resto overstuffed and regretting it like I used to! I dine out 3-5 times a week. BTW how is Echo? I have never tried it because if I am at the Breakers I always end up at HMF. That small plate lifestyle is everything. -

Self Pay and Financing
NewMe_2014 replied to cassie_vsg's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm also self-pay and I'm paying quite a bit more to stay in the US and go through a plan with ongoing NUT and psych support as well as support groups and follow-ups. I have about 1/2 the money in cash and I ended up taking a cash out loan on my car which we owned free and clear. The auto loan rates are low right now so it was a good option for us. -

Did anyone drink the Special K protein shake for pre op diet...I am drinking bariatric advantage and can only drink 4oz a day its that nasty....anyone have any other suggestions?
-
I just finished my morning protein drink. It's the premier protein drink from costco and it's 11 oz. So I spent approximately one hour walking around the house and taking sips of the protein shake. Now that I'm finished, I've walked 5342 steps. My pedometer says I've burned 245 calories. The protein shake is 160 calories. So I know I've lost some weight there. While I'm home the next 4.5 weeks, I think I will keep up this routine for breakfast

Lactose free gnc protein shakes...I have tried everything under the sun and those stay down. I m scheduled for surgery May 8. I'm also lactose intolerant so none of those plant based proteins are good to me. -
March 8th Sleevers Weight Loss So Far?
alanah replied to missmarie124's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved March 8 as well! Yesterday my Fitbit scale had me confused with my husband ..... I weigh 222. Day of surgery I was 242 so 20 pounds since surgery. I'm exhausted though.... I do have issues getting in all my protein and water but each day I'm getting there. I have low iron as well .... I'm sure my post op diet isn't helping with that! . I took an extra week off after we returned from vacation/surgery and have sent my daughter to daycare just so I could have a week to myself. . Hoping to get on the treadmill for some walking as the snow isn't melting anytime soon here!
