I don't think I could have prepared for the loss of appetite that happens with surgery. I'm not hungry, haven't been hungry since 8/5 - the day before my surgery. I thought it would be awesome not being hungry. And in a way, it is. I wasn't prepared for how its not. I hate eating right now. I don't struggle doing it, I just don't want to do it. There is no joy in it, it takes up my time, it occasionally hurts if i try to rush it. Honestly would like to take a day off and not eat anything and would be perfectly content but I know thats not what's best for my body. So I guess I'll force down the protein drinks, soups, and yogurts today. I hope this melancholy regarding food goes away at some point.

Whoa Nelly...6 day’s post op and puréed soup
MIZ60 replied to rebchief's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Not sure if pureed food is included in full liquids, I know it was not in my program. In my mind full liquids are just that, liquids. Broth, protein shakes, popsicles, a little plain greek yogurt and water was all I had for the first 2 weeks. You need to be really careful since you sleeve is healing. -
Focus on things that count for both fluids and protein: Protein shakes, protein water, broth with added protein powder, yogurt, etc. That's the best way to hit your numbers in the beginning when you can't get too much down. Good luck!

I'm two weeks out from my sleeve surgery and really struggling. If I get enough liquids in me I can't get anything else in - yogurt, applesauce, pudding, nothing. If I eat, I can't enough liquids in and I'm dehydrated. I haven't lost since my pre-op liquid diet either. I'm walking everyday and doing everything I should. Any advice?

madscientistmommy replied to Tim84's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was very hungry. From my post op diet I chose the thickest things I could-a tablespoon of peanut butter, 2 tbls of hummus, very thick Greek yogurt. Anything like soup or applesauce left me hungry. I pretty much ate hummus 3 tines a day. Oatmeal that was thick was ok too (weight control oatmeal) -
I get a pain when I am eating yogurt. It’s the oikos strawberry yogurt. I was eating a spoonful , so decided to take tiny little bites and it didn’t hurt. I tend to forget I should be going really slow. I had surgery on the 21 of August. I was 294 that day. Today I’m 285. Not even a week yet and I’m seeing some loss. I don’t see a difference, but it’s good to see scale go down.

Purée do’s and dont’s
Chrisb428 replied to Khloe617's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Maybe try soft scrambled eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, refried beans. All are recommended during my upcoming puree phase. Good luck! -

Now I’ve crushed my first goal and on to the final. 150! I am at 164 and so happy. Thanks for reading. Hw 289 Sw 243 Cw 164 Goal w 150

Terrified of puréed phase
Russ D replied to kaleeshab's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just from my experience, I was on protein shakes and broth for three weeks after surgery. When it was time to transition to soft foods...I was allowed yogurt and eggs, and work up from there...I was able to handle it okay. -
Surgery part 2 performed 8/22/18
rebchief replied to rebchief's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Slept with body pillow on my side somewhat last night. Didn’t sleep great. Trying to avoid pain tabs if possible but have taken them at night. I’m finding that I’m having “mind” hunger vs physical hunger. Like I could go for a Krystal burger but not hungry for one. Hooefully go to yogurt, strained soup, protein shake after day 4 according to post op plan. -
Gastric Bypass-No Weight Lost
Kaseyn2boys replied to Kaseyn2boys's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok, I will most definitely try that. I was released from the hospital on soft foods so I have scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, canned chicken or tuna, yogurt, things like that and then my protein shakes. I use baritastic to track everything. Calories range from 500-700. Maybe my calorie intake is to high, but its pretty consistent with the paperwork the dietitian gave me. -
I am now at 3 weeks post-op with a gastric sleeve. My pre-op weight was 355.5 and I now weigh 344. I thought the highest loss was at the beginning, but I have been at 344 for almost 2 weeks. I am at soft foods now: scrambled eggs, refried beans, bean soup, milk, soft veg like squash, cooked onions, tomatoes, etc. Also Greek yogurt. I am now hitting about 600 calories average; a bit more or less some days but definitely can feel the new stomach restriction and try to avoid feeling it. My only problem right now, is because I needed 2 weeks of Lovenox injections, the whole of my pannus is purple and red, and has been very tender. I see the surgeon for a second follow up and know she will let me know if the bruising is a problem, but the lack of weight loss has me so down. Any insights? I keep up with my diet and exercise on myfitnesspal, so cannot figure out what I am doing wring. 😔

Summer 2018 Surgery Buddies: POST-OP Discussion
Ylime replied to Ylime's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Adding protein to anything I am eating or drinking is a lifesaver. It not only helps you reach your goals, it also takes the worry and stress off of it because it will just become a habit. I add the powder to most everything, even things that already contain protein. Add it to yogurt, soup, jello, etc. -
How Long Post-op Until You Were Able to Eat Carbs & Fried Foods Again?
Sadie24304 replied to Littel_Urchin's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You are so lucky. My problem is with my appetite this past week or so. I am not hungry. I drink water when I can. I notice that when I put ice in my water I drink it more easily. I have a b12 vitamin patch now and I take centrum. Tomorrow is my first post op appointment. Let's see what the doctor tells me. I love herbalife shakes and I am going to use them as my protein shakes. I tried other brands and don't like the taste. Yes the chicken broth is great. I will definitely try the Chobani low fat yogurts. Thank you so much. -
How Long Post-op Until You Were Able to Eat Carbs & Fried Foods Again?
Khloe617 replied to Littel_Urchin's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I’ve had such a great recovery and I thank god for that. Drinking was hard week one but now I can drink no problem. I still don’t remember to take my vitamins everyday but I plan on getting the patches so it’s easier. I drink water when I can. I found these chobani low fat yogurt drinks they are amazing and 10 grams protein. The protein shakes gave me the runs so instead I try and drink 3 cups for 1% milk. Sf pops and jello. Oh and chicken broth is heavenly when your struggling to swallow. It gets better trust me. -
Hey everybody, So I have a question, how many grams per portion do you scoop on your plate ? For example yogurt , how many grams do you eat? I want to measure my food again. So I started with 100 grams, it was a satisfying portion but I could eat a bit more but I don’t want to push it (8 days post op now)

I am 1 week and 1 day post op Gastric Bypass. Today I started puréed food. Everyone talks about how fast they get full. I know I’m probably over thinking this BUT I had 1/2 of a Greek yogurt around 1:00 and around 6:00 I had a 1/2 cup of a creamy soup. In between I also kept up with my protein shake. I’m comfortable but not over full at all like everyone made it sound that I would be. Can anyone give me a little idea what you are or were taking in around this time please :)

SF ice pops, SF Jello, pickles, chew on SF gum. All are low or no calorie. Yogurt in your protein shake is a great idea, not much needed and will help fill you. For your broths add veggies and seasoning then strain after. I added ground garlic, onion powder, pepper, chopped onion and carrots to mine. Of course make sure your surgery team approves. Best of luck to you, you've done a week already. Stay strong, you got this!!!!!!

I surely hope that it gets better with time. My hunger sensation right now after the surgery is at its peak , also when I eat my yogurt etc , the first few days I felt restriction but now it’s just being nauseous , and if that’s over, the hunger comes back. It’s super weird , to say the least
-
Hey y’all. So I’m experiencing the hunger sensation even after I had my meal. I’m in the liquid stage still. But is it normal to experience hunger , even if I just ate. I eat very liquified stuff, like runny yogurt, non fat sugar free custard etc But even after that, I still feel hunger. How did you work through this and what did you eat feel the restriction? Xoxo

Had to pull car over to vomit. Almost lost 50 lbs!
Sosewsue61 replied to BajanSleeve's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I can just now at 10 months tolerate beef, and then only a really tender small piece, and salad just now stays down. Lettuce brought on the slimes so fast it was crazy. I rely on chicken thighs, pork steak w a little fat free gravy, ground turkey, eggs, cheese, deli turkey, yogurt, cottage cheese, fish. I upchucked if I ate too fast, or the meat was dry, or if I took one bite over. You learn to stop short of being full lol.... -
Hi. I'm not sure how much help I can be, but I thought I'd try. I had a nocturnal eating disorder. Sugar free popsicles got me through. I started to view the feeling of being hungry as a success, knowing that I was losing weight. I added a lowfat plain yogurt to my shakes, as well. That really helped too. I also tried to sleep through some of it. It's not easy for sure. I also kept in mind how desperately I wanted the surgery and knew it couldn't happen if I didn't follow the liver shrinking pre-op diet. I hope that helps a little. Take it one moment at a time. You've got this! It's so worth it! Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you Marisol - and congratulations on your upcoming surgery as well. I do feel about 30% better since I was able to pass a bowl movement but still very sore and scared that my bowels will stop again (words can’t even explain the pain from that). I’m hoping it happens again soon as like a reassurance it’s all still working right after the suppository though everyone says it should be and I just don’t have food in there right now. I’m trying to work on some yogurt right now but I get so full after like a couple bites.

I’m so with you— I can’t stand the protein shake options. I was doing broth with unflavored protein, but I get burnt out on that fast— but good with add ins like garlic and ginger too. My favorite thing right now is low fat Greek yogurt with unflavored protein and a giant shake of TJ’s everything but the bagel seasoning (though I’m not sure it’s completely ok because it has poppy seeds and sesame seeds in it), za’atar or just salt and pepper. The cream of tomato soup from BariatricPal pal is super yummy though I haven’t asked the nut about it. I got the variety pack of soups and I enjoy them, but they aren’t whey protein isolate. Pre-op I was a big fan of the Syntrax Nectars Fuzzy Navel and Grapefruit that I made with 30 oz of water and a ton of ice cubes. Now, it will take me all day to drink that and it isn’t the same without a straw! Still, they are decent with less water! The only RTD protein shake I really can stand is Iconic Protein in chocolate. It doesn’t taste artificial or very sweet (they have a Golden milk option that sounds good, and coffee but I can’t have caffeine)
