  1. I'm just over 2 months post op. Mostly its been like what I expected. I'm losing weight pretty quickly. Over 40 pounds since surgery, and over 60 since my highest weight. The unexpected part has been the gas. It still hasn't gone away, I wake up and am feeling 'belchy' and gross before I've even eaten anything. Almost everything I eat or drink (including water) seems to cause more of it too. Its humiliating if I'm in public (though I keep them quiet/silent as possible) and in generally I just feel pretty icky. Bone broth and yogurt seem to help, and my surgeon doesn't seem concerned, but its driving me crazy. Still, I'd do it again! I have way more energy than I used to already and I'm excited for the future (hopefully one with less burbling and bubbles).

    October 2018 Sleevers

    Hey, just checking in (I read back through the thread to see how folks are doing. Thank you all for the well-wishes and condolences. ❤️ I just successfully ate my first cottage cheese since surgery (10/3), and I've done fine with Greek yogurt and ricotta (with just a little Italian seasoning and low-fat Trader Joe's pizza sauce, because that's what I have on hand). Balancing my nutritionists' "try to eat three meals per day" with "get more than 60 grams of protein" and "don't drink within half an hour of eating" and "get more than 64 ounces of liquid" is ... a lot, especially with going back to school and dealing with family stuff. I'm not getting all that much protein from my food, because I'm only eating a couple of tablespoons, maybe, per "meal." I know it gets easier, and if I'm only at 55 grams of protein one day (or, like ... three?) it won't kill me or make all of my hair fall out. I'm not freaked out about it, just sharing the struggle, I guess. My vitamins make me a little sick, though as the amount of food I can eat increases, so does my tolerance for them. It'll work itself out. Also, I joked to my spouse, before surgery: "I'm ready for all kinds of complications, so the one I end up with will be one I didn't think of." Yeah. Uh. I was allergic to something they used during the surgery. About a week afterward, I broke out in hives all over my torso and the tops of my thighs. My surgeon isn't very helpful: "try taking Benadryl, and if that doesn't work I'll order a steroid block for you, but I don't want to do that." (Steroids wreak havoc on post-surgical healing.) I've looked for information online, and most people get over them on their own, so I'm making due with hydrocortisone cream (it's a steroid, but only a low amount of it, and on my skin instead of being taken as a pill), Aveeno eczema-strength lotion (has a lot of oats in it, which are good for this kind of thing), and Benadryl at night. So... that's been awful. (They are very itchy hives. It's terrible.) I can drink pretty normally again, now. I don't have to have these itty-bitty sips. I think gulping would hurt, and I make sure not to do that, but normal-size mouthfuls feel good. So... that's what just under two weeks out looks like, for me.
  3. I am exactly two weeks post op. Overall, it went as i thought it would. The only surprises were: 1) I felt like a zombie (kinda outta my head) for the first full week. 2) I had way less restriction than i thought i would. (I had a lap-band till three years ago.) I'm thinking i was possibly used to that feeling of restriction and maybe expected more. I'm sure it'll show it's face once i start "real" food. 3) I thought the surgery would decrease my appetite more. I'm sure it has to a degree but my head still longs for flavors and textures quite a bit. I have no regrets, so far so good. I feel like my normal self now. I'm ready to move to the next phase but can't for another few days per my instructions. Everything is just about healed. No nausea, vomiting, headaches or gerd. Ready to put, Popsicles, jello and yogurt behind me!
  4. I was on a pretty normal diet by then - steak, chicken, veg, etc. Greek yogurt and a few berries for snacks, maybe an occasional protein shake if I was short for the day, (very) small salads with a couple ounces of meat and cheese for lunches - overall fairly normal things. But it all depends upon how your surgeon's program progresses (as above, some are slower than others) and how you tolerate things, which can also be a big variable.

    Diarrheas- normal?

    Thanks for your replies @johnsons13 @matt z @bostonwlkc I had a gastric sleeve. Basically now I’m having shakes, egg whites, yogurt, milk cheese... all as recommended by the doctor, low fat. I’m glad to know it’s normal... I was worried. So I just need to wait and adapt little by little to my new stomach👌

    November Bypass?

    Mousecat88 exciting! My op date is November 5th, and pre-op diet for me begins on the 20th I think. I've been doing 80% of the pre-op diet already for the last couple of weeks... greek yogurt for breakfast, 1 protein shake for lunch, another greek yogurt for a work day snack. Then I've been having chicken and veggies or salads for dinner. I've really enjoyed this process of basically eating what I'll be having for 2 weeks before and after the surgery. Honestly, its not bad. I haven't weighed myself yet, but this may be the first time I can't wait to see the scale whenever I go to my pre-op appointment this Friday.

    Pre op Liquid Diet

    I had 2 week liquid pre op and it seemed like such a hard thing. But my liquid diet was every 2 hours drink or eat a Gatorade or g2, fat free or light yogurt, popsicle, skim milk, or fruit juice. I had to drink 60g of protein in protein drink a day. I had some free items like sugar free popsicles, chicken or beef broth, diet coke, sugar free jello. I just made sure to consume what I was supposed to and leave the freebie stuff when I was craving. I did cheat here and there and it was hard going through it. Especially when I would read on here people with 2-5 days of pre op liquid diet and I had 2 weeks.

    How are the May sleevers doing?

    I have a question for everyone: Have you been given a maximum calorie goal and protein goal for the day? My nutritionist still insists they don't want us counting calories or protein. I was sleeved 5/3/18 and have only lost 40 pounds since surgery. I lost 10 before surgery, so total down is 50 pounds. I've been the same weight for 7 weeks now and moving a LOT! I've been eating what I'm told to eat: protein first, then veggies. I have ff plain greek yogurt w/strawberries and Splenda for a snack as well as cashew nuts. If my husband is having French fries or something like that that's not allowed, I do have a bite, but that's not often. I've read that this is the time I should be losing the most and losing it easily. The only thing I can think of is maybe I'm having too many calories in a day? I'm really disappointed in the nutrition/support group portion of the program I'm in. The support group meets with the nutritionist once a month and we don't really get much time to talk. I definitely feel MUCH better and am able to do things physically I couldn't do before surgery. I'm SO happy for everyone who's doing so good! Starting weight: 235, Surgery weight: 225, current weight: 185

    Does anyone know if it makes a difference if you get most of your protein in at once or is it better to spread it out throughout the day? I personally have a hard time with the protein shakes (the taste) and am trying to find ways to get my protein with minimal shakes. I’m on stage 2 of my plan which is full liquids (blended soups and yogurt). I was going to blend a siggis yogurt with 1/2 c fair life milk and adding unjury flavorless protein powder making it 42 g of protein. I would only need about 20 more grams for the remaining of the day which is easy! I would probably only need about 1/2 a shake with the protein from my soups. Any advice on getting most of the protein in early in the day?

    Pre op diet

    I get to drink 3 protein shakes a day and 2 light yogurts. Two days before surgery I can only have 65-80g of liquid protein a day, but it has to be clear liquids such as clear protein drinks, zero calorie sports drinks, frozen sugar free popsicles, fat free clear broth, sugar free Jello and decaf tea.

    Pre op diet

    I did 2 weeks liquid only. 4 shakes a day, sugar free yogurt, pudding and jello. Every program is different. Mine had a daily meal plan and it was very specific.

    September bypass buddies??

    Ladies and gentlemen I don't know if you guys have heard of something called skinny syrups its a no calorie and no sugar liquid flavoring I just added a drop to my protein shake (which it says you can add to coffee oatmeal lattes yogurts etc.) And it made a big difference in taste the shake wasn't as charky way more tolerable. Mind you my surgery for the sleeve is in 2 weeks hopefully it will still taste great afterwards. They come in different flavors as well I saw pumpkin spice, vanilla, and mocha flavors from TJMAXX.
  13. Used to love cottage cheese, had it with fruit, had it with veggies, had it by itself. but since it and Greek Yogurt made me vomit I cringe when I see them in the store. Don't if I will ever have the courage to eat them again!

    Struggling With Vitamins

    I have ruined the taste of many yogurts with meds in it. I can't wait to be able to swallow pills again. But now that I hve found these Bari Life powdered multi with iron, I'll never buy anything else unless they stop making it. I haven't tried the capsules because I got a sample from my surgeons office and that is how I found out I enjoy a vitamin finally I had tried another brand, but after swallowing it, it had that vitamin after taste. YUCKY!! My kids even tasted the Bari Life and my husband and we all agree that this tastes like those powder things you put in water for flavor. It does leave behind a little granules almost looks like sand, but I kept shaking it and this is something I would actually recommend for those with a hrd time with vitamins.

    That's a good tip not to have drinkable yogurt post-op. I just went and bought the drinkable yogurts today for pre-op, which starts Monday, and then post-op for after my Oct 23rd surgery. I think I will just drink them just for pre-op (since I bought them and don't want them to go to waste) and hold off for post-op. Congrats on the weight loss so far. That's great!

    Maybe not enough protein is the issue. I would follow what your surgeon recommends, they should have given you a very specific plan. Greek yogurt is good and has a lot of protein but the protein drinks are really the best way to get it in right now.

    Right now I am doing sugar free popsicles ,broth , apple sauce and Jello I was doing the drinkable yogurt but my friend told me that could have been my problem because it’s high in sugar so I stopped like two days ago. The last two days I barley ate or drank anything and and still nothing has changed. I know I shouldn’t be taking in no more then 400 calories

    Eating on the road (Travel)

    I know that Hyatt Place and Homewood Suites will go out and purchase groceries for you during the day and stock your fridge if you give them a list - no extra charge other than what the groceries cost at the store which they put right on your bill. You could have yogurts and milk and fruit delivered for smoothies (carry your own protein powder), chicken breast and salad stuff. I try to do that when I'm traveling.

    You have lost almost 20 lbs and that’s great!!! What are you eating right now? Have you added to liquids? Are you staying in a calorie range? I had surgery on the 2nd and after week 1 could add drinkable yogurts and runny soups blended.. 60-80 g of protein and a 600-800 calorie range. I noticed I didn’t loose the first two days (was even up) of adding the soup and yogurt. Maybe you are just adjusting?

    October 2018 Sleevers

    I’m 11 days post op (10/1) and this is the first day I’ve felt like myself. I had my 2 week check up today and my surgeon and nutritionist say all is going well. I’m down 20 lbs and was cleared to start stage 4. In my excitement I ate too fast. Got down 4 bites of chicken and it felt wrong. Then I felt sick and threw up. Horrible. Can I just live on shakes and yogurt? I also also got the all clear to exercise but I’m still so fatigued I don’t know what I could possibly get accomplished. Anyway, is anyone concerned about getting enough water?

    Most important..

    Sleeping might be hard. My husband went out and bought a recliner rocker as soon as I got home from the hospital. I couldn't lay down, lay on my side, nothing. I sat up at the hospital for the three days I was there and continued to need to be sitting up for a couple weeks. This might vary from person to person and be dependent on how old or heavy you are going in. But maybe be ready with extra pillows for propping if you don't already have a recliner. As far as eating goes, water and protein drinks will probably be what you focus on the most for a good while. Warm drinks, broths, tomato soup, greek yogurt, sugar free pudding. Cold things might be hard to tolerate initially. If you feel discomfort switch to room temperature liquid. Good luck and be brave! Happy for you!
  24. Eating alas is the issue, I tried an one-inch chunk of ripe 🍌 Wednesday, a few minutes,to get it in and a hour-and- half urping, burping and vomiting. Not worth it, I am so tired of it all, strained,soups, broths, protein skakes, water and no calorie drinks.And my taste buds aren't the same either. When. I was shopping at Wal-Mart I mentioned to my Son I used to buy Lipton Diet citrus green tea at lunchtime, we bought some and I cannot abide the stuff now. Pitched one,in the trash today. So I get discouraged, all the others that were our surgery twins are far,far ahead. I told,Tomkitten at first I wanted steak, either peas and new potatoes and pearl onion. Now what I would like, teriyaki fried tofu. Take my tofu, drain and dry it off and then saute it in Kikkomon soy sauce , mmaybe throw in some finely sliced green onion and sliced mushrooms, but just the tofu and teriyaki sauce would please me. And what I couldn't eat right away. I can store in my Rubbermaid orTupperware. And am I lactose intolerant? Don't think So but I have thrown up Greek yogurt and I do cottage every time I have tried it, and I used to eat it all the time pre-surgery,.💦

    Didn’t share details of my surgery...

    Aw I love that you shared it with your family and froze what you could. Berries freeze wonderfully, by the way. I'm in stage two and I'm using them in smoothies with protein water and greek yogurt. Good luck with your procedure!.
