Omg thank you I’m sure you look gorg!![emoji4][emoji176] Okay I’m 5’7 measurements are 32-25-38. Yes I have about 20 more pounds I need to lose but it’s hard cause I snack on and off! Yes at the gym I just do treadmill and elliptical, I did yoga for months, I did Zumba a few times but I’m done with that I still be out of breath fast [emoji81] way too fast to deal with Zumba. I honestly just google different ways to exercise and at home exercises also. But again I realized I can go hard in the gym and do other things but I won’t lose my last pounds if I keep snacking so also look at other things that could be slowing down your last goal!! I’m still miss protein to the T. I make sure to have eggs, yogurt or salmon atleast 2 of the 3 a day. I’m always at restaurants because I don’t know how to cook so I always get salmon or grilled chicken. Now I can eat salad so lately I get grilled salmon or chicken Cesar salads. I watch little things like dressings, condiments on sandwiches, butter whenever I try to make eggs etc. Also drinks are a big deal. I started drinking alcohol again for the first time in over 15 months... gained 3 pounds after I went out twice and had brunch. I know it’s from those drinks (still till this day I can barely finish half of a reg plate of food). So I stopped that also. I only drink water, maybe I’ll have some iced tea in the week but water is literally the key. Like when I’m properly hydrated I don’t feel hungry or wanna grab some Doritos. So yes it’s Little things that’s truly helped me! Water, STILL & always thinking about protein and watching my snack intake. Everybody is different but I hope these tips helped !!

Thank you [emoji4][emoji176] Unfortunately I can eat whatever I want now, no restrictions, nothing makes me sick anymore so with that being said whenever I stall I would strictly only have water, yogurt, eggs and salmon for 2 weeks straight. Whenever I gain more than 2 pounds I make myself go hard in the gym and lose double the amount I gained. Those are little things I do because I love how I look and want to maintain it. I would say go hard and don’t be tempted for the first 12 months of surgery. Because after that 1 year your weight loss will stop completely and you WILL struggle to lose those last 10-20 pounds. So don’t cut off but limit carbs, snacks etc atleast in your first 12 months. That’s when you’ll get the most and rapid results don’t let anything get in the way of you reaching your goal!

How to get enough fluid during the day
Apple203 replied to TheSirBeardsley's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
From Week #5 to Week #12, my plan requires four meals a day, spaced at four hours. A meal is 2.5 ounces of lean protein and 1/4-1/2 cups of fruit, yogurt, or soft vegetables. -
February bypass buddies?
FluffyChix replied to RunningLibrarian's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Keep in mind, you may need to verify your meal size with your doc or RD. Because when most people here 4-6oz, they start thinking weight--as in weighing on a scale. But, the reference they gave you still alludes to a volumetric measurement. 1oz by VOLUME (measure) = 2tbsp = 1/8cup by VOLUME = 1/4oz by weight 4oz by VOLUME (measure) = 8tbsp = 1/2cup by VOLUME = 2oz by weight 6oz by VOLUME (measure) = 12tbsp = 3/4cup by VOLUME = 3oz by weight ************** Conversely, most protein in it's pure/fluffy/cooked state, unweighted down by meat lube or other moisture additives like light or fat free mayo and dressings and sauces add up like this: 1oz protein by weight (then flaked, chopped fine, or pulled) = 2oz by VOLUME = 1/4c by VOLUME = 4tbsp 2oz protein by weight (then flaked, chopped fine, or pulled) = 4oz by VOLUME = 1/2c by VOLUME = 8tbsp ************** And then there's the whole "meat salad thing" like tuna salad, etc... 2oz tuna, salmon, canned chicken by weight (flaked, chopped, pulled) + 1tbsp low fat mayo/yogurt + 1/2tsp mustard + 1/2tsp dill relish = 1/4c by VOLUME = 4tbsp. It will weigh more than 2oz by weight because of the addition of the condiments. Fun and intriguing bs isn't it? -
Cooking for family post-op
Sleeved36 replied to Sparkle&Storm's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I already feel like a short order cook. The 4 yr old hates anything that forces him to use silverware and the 18 month old only has 8 teeth. Lots of separate meals here. Your family will survive. There are lots of ways to have healthy simple meals. Breakfast for dinner is a fast favorite. Yogurt, fruit, eggs, whole wheat toast/pancakes. Fill the freezer with trader joes. You not eating with them is temporary. You said you are married, sounds like something your husband should worry about while you sit on the couch with a protein shake. Don't EVER be ashamed of your body. I am fat and still swim with my kids. Trust me, I have seen A LOT of people naked (RN); we are all a mess. Perfection only exists in airbrushed magazine covers. -
How to get enough fluid during the day
babu1995 replied to TheSirBeardsley's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was having the same problem with my water. I took alot longer to add food in because when I tried I got sick so my NUT said to just keep doing the shakes until my stomach was ready so first thing in the morning my husband would bring me a 20oz Yeti full of water ( I use to drink crystal light before my surgery than hated it after but I found diet, decaffeinated lipton cold tea mix) I would drink 5 sips than waited 20 min and i would have 4 oz of a protien shake and 30 min later I would have more water and then 2 hrs later I would have another 4 oz shake and I did this all day long and when I really started counting 5 - 4 oz shakes ( 20 oz ) and 2 20 oz of water than the next day I would add 4-5 more oz of water and add everyday after that. I was on liquids for 4 weeks and then slowly replaced a shake with soup, yogurt, cottage cheese and then week 6 I would add alittle more. I am now 3 months out and I am doing alot better and I now get atleast 4 20oz of water in a day. It will get better I promise. -
Am I allowed soft foods yet?
logicwand replied to FloridaGal1976's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was cleared for soft foods starting today - at exactly three weeks post op. I was sleeved a day before you on 2/28. I have had no problems eating anything. Unfortunately! LOL I am starting to eat tuna salad, egg salad and scrambled eggs in addition to my protein shakes, and soups. I'm really sick of yogurt right now. Ugh. Trying to figure out what else I should/can eat. -

Got my Surgery Date!!!! :) 4/2/18! Calling out any April surgery buddies!!!!
johnsons13 replied to Glamgirl's topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
I would love to have a carrot right now. I can have light Greek yogurt or cottage cheese. Other than that it's broth, Jell-O, sugar free Popsicle, water, g2 Gatorade, etc. I eat my 1/2 cup of cottage cheese mindfully. Think of me with your next carrot.

Hello! As of today I have lost 23 lbs. DOS 240.6, today 217.4. I am having no more pain or other problems. I am able to eat well and have no problem getting in my fluids. My taste for coffee has come back! Yay! (It depressed me when I lost my taste for it right after the surgery!) I am having a bit of trouble eating chicken breast by itself. It seems to get stuck and hurts! But since I love it so much, I have learned to eat it along with soft vegetables, and I no longer have problems swallowing it. For instance, I stir fry it with onions, peppers and fajita spices - or with broccoli and soy sauce! I make sure the veggies are nice and soft. I am not at the raw veggie stage yet and I am REALLY looking forward to eating my salads again!!!!! But for now, I am eating mostly shrimp, fish, chicken breast with soft veggies, eggs and yogurt. I snack on a sugar free Popsicle when I need something in between. And sometimes I get REALLY hungry before bed. Not head hunger. Real hunger. It is tempting to eat a meal, but I grab about 1/2 a slice of deli meat and it takes the edge off and allows me to sleep.

Which nutritionist did you meet with? I met with Shara Lazar. I thought my initial consult was quit rushed and the packet that they gave us was not super informative. I bought that package though so we’ll see how she is when I make my appointments through that. I had no problems going right to purees, thankfully. I have been sticking more to the yogurts and ricotta type stuff though. I did make turkey chili but I puréed it to a thin consistency. HW: 296 SW: 277 CW: 268 GW: 150 Sleeved 3/12/18

@Staceyb2121 &@Missrut718 - what has been your overall experience with NYBG? Dr Holliver seems great but I’m not a fan of the nutritionalist. Also, how did you feel going directly to purée after surgery? It was a bit much for me and I stuck with shakes and yogurt. Adding soup and eggs this week.

Hey there, was that a DEXA scan?? This is something I'm interested in doing as part of establishing my long-term goal. Still on protein shakes, so I don know what works after surgery. But I plan on starting with stuff like cottage cheese, greek yogurt, eggs, mashed beans, tuna salad, chicken salad. My material says to add protein powder to things like applesauce, mashed bananas, etc.

How to stop the craving of snacks???!
XYZXYZXYZ1955 replied to TJ30's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Eventually you'll be able to have snacks--just choose the right things. One of my favorite things is a handful of cashews, for example. Or eat a yogurt (such as Oikos triple zero)--I find that I can take a very long time to finish one of them even now, and back in the early stages I could only eat a half a one at a time. Or maybe a stick of cheese? You'll find things you like that won't seem strange to other people if you choose them instead of something like cake. -
As canned items they will be super high in sodium though. Are you able to look at the nutrition facts? Don’t forget on purée you can usually eat yogurt, very thin grits, and items puréed in a blender. I have a nutri ninja. Consider buying a nutri ninja blender for prep. You can make smoothies like a champ. I think a few of these will be ok, but after that they will taste like highly processed garbage. I would start now working on learning how to prepare healthy food choices and meals. That’s part of what a healthy lifestyle is about.

How to stop the craving of snacks???!
sunshinetinks replied to TJ30's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's not realistic thinking you will never have a dessert ever again. I think that sets us up for failure. I have low carb protein bars, plain yogurt with sugar free syrups in every flavor imaginabe, strawberries and blueberries. I found a low carb protein cake single serving at the Low Carb Store in Canada called Smart Cakes in different flavors. If your not prepared you will grab something that is not appropriate.Good luck on your weight loss journey. Sent from my Nexus 5 using BariatricPal mobile app -
Daily Nutritional Percentage Goals
Francess replied to msgabrii's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I am only one week out, but my info says never more than 10g fat or 10g sugar at one time. At 2 weeks I can have smooth food (like yogurt). At 3 week I can add soft veggies and canned fruit(limited). At 8 weeks I can add fresh veggies and nuts. Not sure where meat and cheese go in this schedule? I have post op meeting next week with lots more questions on nutrition. -
Anyone here about 4 years post op Sleeve?
jess9395 replied to justlee's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
48 here, sleeved in late 2013. Had my last period last year so I get the whole menopause thing. BUT.... my personal experience (and all it is is that) is that the more carbs I eat, be they added sugar, bread, pasta... heck even fruit and yogurt... the hungrier I am. And yup, for sweets! New research is showing that we cultivate certain types of bacteria in our gut and when we crave sugar it’s to feed the type of bacteria that crave it. It you starve them out you are much better off! Though trial and error I have found my limits where I can get Fiber and such into my diet (some berries, half an apple, whole grain cereal) and Calcium (Greek yogurt w no sugar... I have parathyroid issues so Calcium is big for me)... without triggering the appetite/cravings. Also yeah exercise is key... and I get the energy thing... but there I will say again, for me personally, if I get out there and push past the “tired” next time I am less tired. Takes about a month consistently (I’ve had to come back after injuries laid me up) for the “let’s go” to outweigh the “tired.” I’m a runner (love saying that cuz I was NEVER an athlete pre op) and I run 25-30 miles most weeks. Some days I want to run, other days I’m dragging but so it anyway. And the draggy fades away after I get into it. So... yeah some docs will do a re-sleeve where they make it tighter. Conversion to bypass is an option with most as well. BUT really all it will do is give you that “honeymoon” window again. Which isn’t to say that’s a bad thing, but it won’t last either. It might give you an opportunity to make changes though. What do you eat now? -
Not getting my protein or water in
bb3b replied to babu1995's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Thanks, James, this is really helpful! I have just reached the solid food stage, so will certainly follow your advice. I found that over the past few weeks I have tended to do as you have suggested and relied on soups, shakes, yogurts etc. Having said that, the first bite of real food (an omlette with very soft veggies) was heaven! -
I descoverd a perfect treat when you crave ice cream. Buy fat and sugar free yogurt. Plan and un flavored. Pop a cup in the freezer for 10 or 15 minutes. Then add a few drops of liquid water flavor enhancer. Like mio. Give it a try.

How much weight does one generally lose with gastric sleeve surgery?
blondie46 replied to Amjo's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I eat lots of cottage cheese, yogurt, almonds, and do protein shakes. I haven’t exercised except running around like a madman at work 😂 -
Protein shakes are best when they are COOOOLD. You really want to stay away from adding any extra calories to those shakes, so yogurt isn't a great idea pre-op. For clear liquid proteins, Isopure Zero Carb RTD are amazing. Again, best served ice cold. You can totally blend them into an thick shake using ice cubes, really ups the experience overall. Also, Protein will cook if it gets too hot, so you can "curdle" it if you try to heat it up too hot.

Who didn’t/doesn’t have to do 2 weeks liquid?
Apple203 replied to canari's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Maryland here: pre-op was two weeks of lean protein, veges, and 3 fruits/yogurts per day. -
This may be a dumb question but what. temprature should you drink your shakes at? Should theynbe room temperature, chilled in the refrigerator, over ice or even half-frozen? . Should they be mixed with unsweetened yogurt or flavorings added? Please veterans give me your input or are clear fruit tasting Protein liquids better?

2 weeks post sleeve and just ate a whole pint of low cal ice cream
jess9395 replied to Danbug74's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
But if you freeze it and put it through one of those Yonanas machines or a food processor and then eat it... well how is that different than you chewing it to nothing? It’s not like juice where you actually remove parts (the fiber). You eat the whole fruit when you make these concoctions, don’t you? Trying to figure this out! Just a note—I avoided pretty much all fruit for six months or so and then added in berries (with Greek yogurt) and apples (with peanut butter) sparingly till a year then at goal I started to add back fruits. I never did any of the sugar free popsicles or ice creams till I had been at goal for a while and now I do the halo types on occasion.
