I Am Not Understanding....
Ms skinniness replied to PreciousCargo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would not worry too much about the carb thing right now. Just eat what you can, protein mostly like soups, broths, yogurt, jello sf, pudding sf, cottage cheese. These are all good foods. Like MegInNola stated. Do the best you can and try not to stress tooooo much.... -
I Am Not Understanding....
MegInNOLA replied to PreciousCargo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Precious, everybody's sleeve is different. I never counted anything (and still don't), mostly because I have to eat what my sleeve will allow--and, for good or ill, it doesn't let me eat foods that aren't good for me (can't tolerate fried foods, most flour products, sweets). However, it also doesn't let me eat good-for-me foods like chicken, eggs, tuna, etc., so it's a trade off. Since you're having such a difficult time trying to do the "standard" things, why not try something else? Maybe aim to get some Protein through vegetable sources--get some bean Soup and zap it in the blender and heat that up and eat it. Split pea with ham. Vegetarian chili that has TVP (textured vegetable protein) instead of meat--zap them up so they're smooth and try those. My point is, low-carbing will work for a good number of folks, but not everyone. If your sleeve won't tolerate a lot of the typical protein foods (tuna, chicken, whatever), you obviously can't eat those, and a lot of very healthy, non-animal-protein-based foods are going to come with some carbs. Since you can't keep a lot of solid stuff down yet, I say don't worry about your carbs too much and just try to find a set of foods you can eat that are tolerable. I lived for the first few months on yogurt, spoons of Peanut Butter, cottage cheese, and soup--literally ate soup every day. You'll be glad later that your sleeve is picky--right now, it STINKS, but as you heal and progress, you'll be happy to have that picky thing that keeps you from eating what you shouldn't. Hang in there, my friend!! -
Having A Hard Time With The Words "pureed Food"... Ick!
Ms skinniness replied to DanaInNewOrleans's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow, you are totally stressing on this! you are not necessarily going to have nausea or that great level of pain after the surgery. The doc will assess and send you home with the necessary meds to assist with any after affects. Just relax, take a deep breath and it will happen and be over with. Take 1 step at a time. I get grossed out with eating pureed food so I didn't. I at a lot of soft foods like yogurt, sf puddings, etc. After the surgery the stomach is so swollen we can't eat that much anyways. Just a couple of bites at the most. Your surgeon's office will give you the stages of food and what you can eat, and what you can't eat. it will be fine. CONGRATS on your decision to join our club. -
I had a full container of greek yogurt for the first time last week. I had tasted it before, but it was way too sour for me. Then I read on a forum about adding artificial sweetner so I decided to give that a try. I used a packet of Equal.......way tooooo sweet! I broke out into a sweat altho I was sitting in front of my fan! The next time I ate yogurt, I used Splenda...added a lil at a time (turned out to be the whole pkt) but I had no after effects. Now I am eating yogurt as my "in-between meals" snack. Sorry you had problems. Also read somewhere how our tastebuds change after surgery and for some people, anything sweet can taste 10x sweeter for us sleevers. Maybe that is what you are experiencing? Best of luck to ya!

I had some frozen greek yogurt..I guess it was too sweet...although when I was eating it, I was fine. About 10 minutes later I was nauseous(had to have that extra bite) but I also had this "someone just poured 10lbs of sugar down my throat"..taste in the back of my throat..I get this occasionally from certain foods..anyone else get this?

MG1776 replied to morenita2013's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Had my sleeve one week ago today and feel great. Each day is getting better. I have no problems getting my fluids in, and mixing up my full fluids to keep it interesting with creamed Soups, yogurt, etc. Protein Shakes are getting easier to tolerate each day as well. On day of surgery, I was 283.1, and this morning I was 266.6! Looking forward to continuing the journey -
Unflavored Protein
mylighthouse replied to SKrae430's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I use unjury too. One scoop is about 4 Tbs. During my pureed and soft food stage, I would usually add 2 Tbs (which is about 10.5 grams of protein) to my food. Examples of foods that I added it to: refried Beans, yogurt, mashed sweet potato. Most of the time though, I use the Unjury in my drinks if I need more Protein rather than in my food. My favorite drink to add it to is decaf iced tea. Goes down easy. I add 2 Tbs per 8 oz of liquid. -
I was banded 3/25/08, and put on liquid diet for 2 weeks prior (ended up being 3 weeks as I caught a cold and my surgery was postponed a week, not enough time to stop and start again, so I stayed on it another week). Up until 4 days before surgery I could have a small amount of lean protein, which I saved for the evening when I tended to overeat the most. I had either 2 hard cooked eggs with salt/pepper, or 2 unbreaded chicen tenders grilled with salt/pepper. For liquids I could have broth, clear or cream soups, protein drinks, fat/sugar free popsicles, fat/sugar free jello, yogurt, water, tea, coffee. I knew I would be hungry during the day, but my job is busy so I was able to ignore it. I found I do boring really well. Don't have to think too much about what is for dinner, just keep the freezer full of popsicles and the cabinet full of soups and broths. I even found a way to have cheese. If you heat tomato soup, and break up a couple slices of Kraft Fat Free cheese, it melts and you have cheesy tomato soup, a liquid. It really jump started my diet. I increased my exercise with walking and by surgery had lost 35 pounds. The rest has come of since then. Good luck with your surgery.:behindsofa:

What Does The Full Feeling Feel Like With The Lap Band?
TIGERLILY1988 replied to TIGERLILY1988's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you both for your reply I often feel that feeling when I'm eating my Greek yogurt and I'm fine with that but other times I struggle like say with eating some meat if I take too big of a bite or eat to fast then I feel an uncomfortable feeling that I think doesn't feel right. And I'm like is this full? But I understand now the right signals I appreciate your response! Thank you both -

Sugar-free frozen yogurt on pureed stage?
NurseGrace replied to DallasSleeve's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
you might take a lot of crap for asking this, but a lot more people do this than there are people willing to admit it. It's obviously not the best choice, but we are all just trying to live our lives and have some normalcy. I say be very careful. I have fro-yo about twice a month now but the very first time I had it the yogurt sat in my stomach like a brick and then I got pretty dizzy. -
I'm starting my 14-day pre-op liquid diet that consists of 2 cans of slim fast protein, low carb shake, sugar free carnation instant breakfast with 1 cup skim milk, cup cottage cheese, 1 cup dannon light and fit yogurt, 15 oz can vegetarian vegetable soup, quaker oatmeal weight control oatmeal, 3 servings of fruit (1/2 cup each serving), and 48-64 ounces of water or sugar free drinks, no caffeine, no carbonation. I have to have all this every day for 2 weeks. Is anyone doing the same diet or something like this? I know every surgeon and weight loss center is different. Any tips and advice? Thanks!!!

Unflavored protein?
BLERDgirl replied to jennolsen's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I use the isopure. I emailed the company to verify that heating it would not denature the protein. I use it in pretty much everything. I add it to tea, I really like adding it to soup or vegetable broth. I mix it with yogurt, and I've even mixed it with egg salad & my scrambled eggs prior to cooking. It's a nice protein boost. It was really helpful in the early full liquids stage it was especially helpful. Instead of drinking 3 shakes a day, I did 2 shakes and then in the even I would have veg broth with unflavored protein powder added. It was a nice break from all the sweet of the shakes. Nowadays if I have a day where I may be running around I put a scoop in a small container in my bag. Then I can grab any beverage along the way and add it to make sure I'm getting in my protein. -
I was banded on Monday and have the tight pulling sensation at the port too..........when I stand up it feels like it is getting streched and it hurts..............does this mean it is healing up ..........sometimes it feels like something is being streched so hard it will fall out. I am on full liquids. So that includes yogurt w/no fruit, Soups, cream soups, Jello, pudding, popsicles...........that is about it. Made potatoe Soup and pureed it been eating yogurt for Breakfast and lunch and soup for dinner. I get gas with everything I eat or the burps..........weird, weird feelings in my stomach all week. I am still in pain. Not on pain meds but hard to sleep at night and move around during the day. I drove today but I plan to hold off on that tomorrow...........it hurt quite a bit. Also went grocery shopping and it exhausted me I had to cancel the other errands I was just to tired.......... So nice to hear other people are having some of the same issues. I thought I was just a being a wimp!!

I will soon be entering my puree stage of my post op diet. I think fruits will be easy it puree and make them taste good. It is the protein I am concerned about. I will have cottage cheese and yogurt however does anyone have any suggestions for pureeing meats? My dietitian recommended using chicken with some broth but I don't imagine how good that will taste at the constancy of applesauce. She did say that I could take meatballs or meat loaf and puree with sauce which doesn't sound too bad, but I have heard some people have a hard time getting beef down. Are there any baby foods that anyone can recommend? Lol it sounds so unappealing but I am getting very hungry on my liquids. Also is tuna and egg salad allowed at this stage? I see some people separate puree and mushies? It looks like my dietitian combined puree and soft food stage. My last questions is what veggies do people like pureed? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I mixed it with almond milk for pre op diet and now I mix with water post op. I've also added to pudding mix and yogurt. Tastes really good. So far have tried Vanilla and PB and Chocolate. Yet to try Strawberry, Chocolate and Cookies & Cream.

With Protein so important, what do you eat for breakfast?
snogirl replied to yellowroseaz's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
That sounds so good, citygirl. I love yogurt, and bananas. I think I will have to take a trip to Trader Joe's this weekend and pick up some greek yogurt. I've never had it, just 'normal' plain yogurt, but I keep hearing about the greek yogurt. Yum! -
With Protein so important, what do you eat for breakfast?
citygirl4616 replied to yellowroseaz's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
When I get sick of eggs and my protein shakes, I like to have a small bowl of non-fat Greek yogurt, sweetened with a bit of Splenda, mixed in with a few slices of banana, and a small handful of high protein flaxseed cereal added in for texture. Yum! Sweet, creamy, crunchy, high protein, low fat and perfect for those "tight" mornings when nothing much seems to want to go down! -
It is so depressing the liquid diet. I remember those weeks. Looking at the progressive stages from liquid to soft and thinking really 4 weeks? The sleeve is so grumbly until it heals. It will be a few months to heal. I fussed a lot in the beginning but now I eat a lot of yogurt and two shakes a day. The other meals I eat with my students then family I choose the good stuff protein fruit veggies. A carb only if it is insanely worth it. Sugar never is worth it. I'm 10 months out:)

Dealing with food addiction POST SURGERY
nikkydizzle posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok I had gastric sleeve surgery on the 4th last saturday and I am now 9 days out of surgery. The system I find with my surgeon is very different unlike the ones I am reading like I said I am Nigerian live in Nigeria but did my surgery in England. 2 days after surgery my surgeon got me on yogurts and I tolerated it and the day after I started yogurt in the morning, soup and yogurt in the afternoon and soups and yogurt at night and it was soup with bits in and I was fine. The next morning I had porridge (oatmeal) that was lumpy I was fine. I was walking about the next day as at today the pain is almost non existent except for a weird back pain like I had epidural (odd). I am now beginning to fight a need to snack as all I do is sit in my hotel room watch TV and my life revolved around food for a long time that is why I ballooned to 361 pounds. I have been quite naughty as I have been ordering room service wasting a lot of money on food I cant eat. This is where the food addiction kicks in that I am now afraid surgery cant solve. Can anyone relate to me and tell me how they got over it post op. On the flip side I am now 343 pounds today YAYYY. I need to know this too is normal -
