How many days/week’s post op were you when you started the Puréed stage ?
BostonWLKC replied to Nicole's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went directly to liquids/ soft food (yogurt, pudding etc) from hospital. Maybe a week out was cleared to start trying anything else as tolerated Good luck! -
Hey all, this is a very long overdue post. My 1-year surgiversary was 5/23/18. I am down a total of 90lbs, so I'm still on my journey to my goal weight. Things are going well. I had a horrible plateau right around my surgerversary, but I have been steadily plugging away. I may not be losing as quickly as I'd hoped, but I am thrilled to be where I am now. 10lbs away from exiting obesity, which is something I didn't think I'd ever see again before having this surgery.
My sleeve still functions and provides restriction. Not as much as the first few months, but I feel it's only a slight difference. I still have to stick to high protein foods for the most satiety.
My eating plan is pretty routine:
fage yogurt for breakfast
cereal with fairlife milk for "second breakfast"
1oz almonds as a snack
1 protein bar
Dinner is usually 4oz meat with a side of veggies cooked in butter
Evening snack is a half bar of Lily's chocolate.
I exercise on my spin bike 4x/week.
Drink 2L of water every day.
The name of the game for me is routine, routine, routine. I don't feel good when I veer off my eating or exercise plan. Even though I'm not losing as quickly as I've seen others on this board, I am losing steadily which was not happening prior to surgery. I still feel reduced hunger compared to preop. The sleeve absolutely helps me every day. Even on days I fall off the wagon, I don't eat nearly as much as I used to, and then I just get right back on the wagon.
Some changes I'm still feeling since my surgery is that I still get nauseous when I drink plain water so I have to flavor it. I always drank plain water pre-op. It's not as bad as before, but if I push it and try to drink more than one glass of plan water I start getting queasy and need to add flavor. I still have difficulty tolerating vanilla. It tastes super sweet so I stay away from anything vanilla flavored. I still have to be careful with chicken breast - making sure I chew slowly and pace myself.
Plans on the horizon is to get to 100lbs lost which is also when I am officially not obese anymore. I would also like to start running when I get down to 220 as I've been having joint pain when I tried to start running at a higher weight. I am also in the middle of a cross-country move that I am excited about. Hopefully, all the activity next month with packing and running around will give me a bump in weight loss for the month.
Anyway, I thought I would drop a line with some progress. I've also noticed some wonderful progress from other members since I was last on. Congrats to you all!

So, its been 16 days post op my NUT told me I was cleared for pureed foods at 12 days, I tried a VSG-friendly shepherds pie it went down ok I was sooo happy and proud I got full after like 2 bites. Yay, confirmation my sleeve is working! BUT THEN! I took a bit of low fat vanilla Greek yogurt, ONE BITE, My mother had to call 911 I was in so much pain I was on the toilet, pooping like crazy and gaging as if I had to throw up yet nothing came out, then I had a large amount of pressure all the way across my back between my shoulder blades. I was sweating and crying and so confused! There was at least a 2hour difference between the bite of yogurt and my dinner. Has anyone else ever experienced this? Also, any ideas for pureed foods would help! Thanks

I had a little cup of caramel icecream today
Creekimp13 replied to apositivelife4me's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Almost forgot....an AWESOME Ice cream substitute that I love entirely too much: Yasso frozen greek yogurt bars. My favorite flavor is Chocolate fudge. 80 calories, 6 grams of protein. And yes....I have been incredibly bad a time or two when I was pre-menstrual.....and had three of these suckers for lunch. 240 calories, 18 grams of protein. Sue me. LOL -
Yes on left side pain but mine was the 20th. It’s the biggest incision from what my surgeon said. Not really on head hunger. The only time I recognized I might have had head hunger was when I had not drank or ate anything for awhile took one bite of yogurt and was all set.

Damn you Yoplait! I want my 100 calorie greek whipped cupcake yogurt back!
Creekimp13 posted a topic in Rants & Raves
My favorite yogurt has gone missing at the grocery stores here. I checked three. It's also unavailable on Amazon pantry. Apparently, the world's most wonderful yogurt....just got canned. I'd saddened and irritated. Man, I hope I'm wrong about this. For the love of yogurt, Yoplait... it was so good. Don't do this to me! -
Your Doctor not letting you eat yogurt, applesauce, etc yet? My Dr. Sent me home on a stage 3 diet which contains yogurt, and somewhat tasty stuff. However he wants me to focus on getting more fluids into my system and worry about protein, etc next week. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I am counting down the days too!! Everything has been going well over here! I’m only allowed clear liquids the first week, but will be able to start full liquids Tuesday. I’m excited for some yogurt and pudding lol. I Just can’t wait to put something in my mouth besides liquid. I’m so excited for the upcoming changes though.

Tried Premier Protein Peaches and Cream and Cookies and Cream
Orchids&Dragons replied to Creekimp13's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Don't you like blueberry smoothies or mixed w/vanilla yogurt? -
You can make all sorts of dips with plain greek yogurt. I make my ranch dip with it. But more often than not I just opt for hummus. Love that stuff.

Tried Premier Protein Peaches and Cream and Cookies and Cream
Frustr8 replied to Creekimp13's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Well,i like Peaches &Cream P.P. , if the Enriched Protein Drink Fairy dropped a case off at my front,door I would do an Elvis "Thank,You Very Much ". Now,my second favorist,yummy flavorite one. Muscle Milk Blueberry Greek Yogurt Drink. Last time I mentioned MMBGY, the Dietary Mafia reminded me,i added calories, decreased protein count,and how dare I allow something less than 30 gram protein cross my,lips! Ok I am a fruitaholic , bland vanilla doesn't turn my crank ! In my badder younger days I characterised vanilla milkshakes as thick, white and tasteless like one of my daighters,ex-boyfriends, rather have a,sugar maple stump, at least every spring during sap run they turned sweet. He was just DENSE. My third favorite breaks my,vanilla hating rule. Svelte French Vanilla. Only 11 grams, Dietary Mafia would say that's merely a recreational drink, something not to taken seriously, true,but,it is soybased, sits well on my tummy, and my white trash soul enjoys,it. it actually is refreshing icy cold. One I was not thrilled with was Equate in Vanilla. I got seduced into it Because still 30 grams at $2 cheaper. No no no, it has that vile evaporated milk taste I have always loathed. Back,when I worked at Wally World I bought their imitation Ensure/Slimfast in Strawberry or Vanilla because chocolate is a no-go because of my allergy. Drimk,one of those cans for lunch and be sick all afternoon from that vile evaporator- baby vitamin,laced taste. Yucky-poo! Honorable mention certainly to caramel P P, do not stubsitute Equate here they are not equivalent, either straight or snuck into coffee, be it high test or decaf. Protein 20,water, ok but I would still,rather drink,Propel and make up protein with tofu. Strawberry and Cream P P , nutri. at OSU gave me some, well better than dying of thirst, but I prefer something more strawberry intensive, haven't tried Bananas and Cream , somebody must be drinking,it b ut,i haven't yet. What I like is unsweetened pineapple juice, banana and frozen unsweetened strawberries whipped up into a icy smoothie. Yes I should drop,in spinach or kale for nutrition but it would ruin thevtadt and pretty color. Anybody have any idea what to do with 2 2.5 pound bags of frozen blueberries.?? Back in the old days I would make deep dish blueberry pies and go to Dietary Hades with all the other sinners!🍝 -
Is anyone terrified to put something in their mouth at the fear it will hurt you?? well that’s me. I’m scared to death to move onto another food. im 4 weeks today and been eating yogurt, that’s it. i did however eat a scrambled egg as I’m on stage 4, so far so good. Let me tell you this, I will never be fat again, I will always remember this torture

You can also use gen pro powder an add it to yogurt or just about anything to get your Protein. I get it at GNC.mine always says 25 grams . I haven’t heard of the lawsuit before. But I’ve bought it for over a year and my packaging has always claimed 25 grams. Maybe they changed it after the law suit?

I’m so ready to feel better!
Frustr8 replied to beingdina's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I like nibble's,list, all pretty doable. If you want not to do the protein shake for lunch plan, how about cottage cheese with wzterpacked fruit like pears, tomato,or tuna, Greek yogurt, even plain scrambled,eggs or boiled egg. Something besides jelly and pbutter on white bread, baloney sandwich with. chips or 2 fat chocochip cookies. those last 3 got you where you are today. Even a glass of white milk is better than those ooey gooey Satanic cookies. Granted I am allergic to chocolate but I have indulged in their 1st cousins peanut butter and butterscotch chip soft cookies. Not only a moment on your lips, forever on your hips but they never flew by my thighs. My thunder thighs would feed 2 cannibal families Easter Dinner. Right now it is 5 pm, and Grouchy Ghrelin says I'm hungry. Not just in my head, I want a tossed salad with a sliced hard boiled egg and sliced tomato in it, dressing on the side, thank you! Why don't I go get it? Because I'm posting instead of letting GG win the argument. I hope Dr Needleman wrecks his little red wagon in July with my surgery. I'll even accept a Jackson-Pratt drain in gratitude! I too want to FEEL BETTER!😝🌈👍 -
One Month Post Op-Is it just me?
Fallinfast replied to Rebuilding the Temple's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Necter unflavored tastes like nothing in a shake, yogurt, creamed cauliflower or soup. Caramel mixed with a cup of coffee is my favorite. Just like a frozen frappe -
I really hope that when I move on to some solids like eggs and tuna fish next week that I begin to feel some restriction. So far with the liquids and yogurt/cottage cheese phase I have felt no restriction what so ever. Has anyone else run in to this?

Yogurt, clear broth, baby food like pureed fruit. Tomorrow day 8, i can start eggs, fish, cheese, etx. Excited for tomorrow!!! 22!!thats a lot in 7 days, thats Awesome! What are you eating. -
I am doing mostly good. I had a hard time last week feeling very tired and unmotivated, but happily that has passed. If I can figure out how to share a photo, I will. To meet my protein goal of 65g daily, I switched from protein shakes to Fairlife milk. 13g per 8oz serving. I have 20 oz daily (I love milk) along with 1/4c protein for lunch and dinner, and 1/2 of a Triple Zero Greek yogurt for breakfast. I figure 1/4 c of protein is 2 oz, so that gets me just over 65g daily. I didn't like protein water either. I don't remember how to update my stats, but I'm down a total of 61 pounds now, which is half my excess weight. I feel like an odd duck in that I have a weird body perception. It's distorted. Whenever I see a photo of myself, it is always surprising to me how large I actually am. Even now. Oy vey. Photo in shorts was taken today. Royal blue dress photo taken 5/2015.

I was told all liquids can be grouped together but the full liquid diet is different then just liquids because it has semi solids so you observe the 30-30-30 rule with those (yogurt cream soups cream of wheat etc. Anything you can eat with a spoon ) otherwise I take no breaks between drinking things. I go from coffee to water to tea to water to tea etc.

Balsamic is great, check out the dressings made from yogurt, they are quite tasty! They are usually found with the health food stuff or vegan stuff in the produce section of your grocer.

I stopped all foods that had any sweet taste post surgery. I wanted to reset my gut bugs because sweet cravings come from the bad gut bugs who insist you continue eating sweet things. So my protein was NorCal organic grass fed whey powder, PLAIN. I missed it with raw milk (something I am used to, not for starting anew right after surgery, but it was so good for me and has some probiotics in it naturally). You can mix it with water. It wasn’t about tasting good, it was about eating to live. after a while though I found it was best to mix protein powder with plain full fat organic Greek yogurt. A very small volume gives you SO MUCH PROTEIN. And now almost a year later, it is my go to way of getting in all my protein. Sometimes I will with in some prebiotics like a tbsp of flax seed or inulin. Perfect food that tastes plain and not sweet. You eat it for what it does for you. Gives you strength, gets rid of your hunger. You know how good it is for you.

How many days/week’s post op were you when you started the Puréed stage ?
Gypsyvangirl replied to Nicole's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
After 2 days post op, non sweetened apple sauce, greek yogurt allowed and mashed fruits and vegetables (baby food). Honestly the baby food route is not bad...my surgeon has been doing this 25 years, trained most other surgeons. Only went through my belly button and one small incesion above.
