Hardly eating
Torriluv87 replied to Drzthickness85's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok first off congratulations on your surgery! I had the runs for a bit too. It got a bit better once solids came into the picture. I was lactose intolerant before surgery and its not any better but what i found that helped was leaving it out. I can still consume small amounts but I'll still get sick if i consume small amounts over several days. It builds up into this huge horrible bathroom nightmare. Or LITERALLY one Greek yogurt will send me spiraling into horrible cramps and diarrea. Any time that happened i knew id have to lay off the dairy. I substituted with soy or almond milk. I'd get unsweetened soy milk. It has 7g of protein per 8oz i believe. Almond milk tastes a bit better but only has 1g for the same amount. I'd heard of nut milks with 10g of protein but i haven't looked for them. Also try a vegan protein powder. I think Unjury is vegan? Correct me if I'm wrong. I had the chocolate one given to me and it was like drinking a chocolate yoohoo. Definitely leave the dairy alone. Ive been doing fine on almost none. Give your body a few days to come around. If your THAT lactose intolerant it'll take a few days maybe for your system to get back to normal (i only say that cause any time things like you explained happened to me, it was from dairy and took about a good week or 2 for me to feel normal again).But it'll only happen if you eliminate the dairy. I am only speaking from experience. But also check in with your surgeon. It sounds like your having a rough time. I feel for you hon. I hope things get better soon.

Hey all! So I'll be a month out surgery on the 19th and I'm unable to eat! Everything I eat literally give me a stomach and I'm running to the bathroom! I'm serious drained I practically live in the bathroom and is frustrating! I was told to stop all diary because I was feel horrible after consuming my protein shake, or a piece of cheese even yogurt! Has anyone experienced this? I don't know what else to eat/do! I'm starting to worry myself that I'm going to get malnourished and sick because I'm no having my protein! My weight is still the same as of last WK 237! I'm taking my pills and drinking my water but I'm feeling hopeless! Your inputs are greatly appreciate!

I am not sure who make them but they are high Protein snack packs- usually include a meat, cheese and some sort of fruit - I've seen yogurt covered blueberries, dark chocolate covered things..... think of it as a Lunchable for protein.... the ones I've seen are about 15-18 G protein per pack. They are also a few bucks.... so if you make your own will definitely save some $$$

Post gastric sleeve snack ideas to take to work
laney replied to Tat19808's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
2 low fat baby bell cheeses, hummus and 5 whole wheat pretzel sticks, 1/2banana and peanut butter, yogurt low fat with fresh berries, slice low fat cheese with 3 low fat tricuits, 1/4 cup of low fat cottage cheese. Just some suggestions I am allowed from my Dr. -
1. Celery and Laughing Cow Cheese 2. Carrots 3. Turkey roll-ups (turkey slices/cream cheese/chives) - So good 4. Homemade P3* with raw almonds, cheddar, sliced turkey 5. Homemade P3* with raw almonds, Monterey jack, sliced black forest ham, blueberries 6. Homemade P3* with cubed chicken, cashews and jalapeno jack 7. berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries) and Greek Yogurt or Cottage Cheese or Low Carb Heavy Whipping Cream** 8. Pickles 9. Sliced cucumber with lime juice and a bit of salt or other spice...Also good with hummus or avocado guac *If you don't want to make your own P3s (cheaper), you can purchase them from the stores. I love many of the combinations and pairings. Buying cheeses, nuts and the meats in bulk will be cheaper, and allow you to change it up for different flavor combinations. **Low Carb Heavy Whipping Cream - 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream, 1-2 Tsp. liquid or powdered Stevia, 1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract

Getting hungry!
Mytimenow17 replied to Mytimenow17's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I talked to my surgeon about always being hungry, and he said I'm not taking in enough protein, so I've been making sure I get plenty of protein. If I do get hungry then I eat something high in protein. I did buy some of the high protein snacks from the Bariatric store, and that helps too. What's weird is that lately I just haven't even been able to finish a yogurt or my jello(have to put my antacid broken up in the jello), and it's getting difficult again to get in two protein shakes a day. I just seem to get full before I finish one. Also makes it hard to get in my water intake doing the 30/30 rule. How do most people on here eat and drink their water throughout the day? Do y'all try to have set meals, and when it's not mealtime you are drinking water, or what? I'm just starting phase 3. Thanks! -
I am getting ready to go back to work, and want to start planning on snackideas to take with me. i will be 5 weeks post op when I return to work, so would appreciate any and all snack ideas other than my Protein Drinks - don't get me wrong, I love the different Premier Protein and muscle milk flavors.... but just want something different. I would love to hear ALL Snacks, not just recent post op ones. Ideally these are just snacks, but if they are a little bigger that's fine too, as I can consolidate them to make it 1 or 2 snacks Ive ordered small containers to hold snacks to get ready some suggestions I've read are tuna in the foil packs, hummus, almonds, Greek yogurt, edamame.....

Same here. Four years post surgery. I went to 160, now at 190 two years. I could not eat any less. No carbs in my household. Feel bloated constantly, feel I am getting fat in my upper body I never had, including stomach. Tried an organic clean diet and gained weight. Typical day is yogurt, boiled egg, cheese stick, cabbage salad, piece of protein meat for dinner. Lost so much hair I don’t want to go back for more surgery. Had to take Thiamine injections six months. Feeling screwed.

My surgery is at 7:30 am on Tuesday, October 17th. I have been on a liquid diet since Friday and have been miserable since. I can have sf jello, sf popsicles, sf powerade, broth and water- I drink approximately 80+ oz/day. I have been getting dizzy throughout the day and it makes work almost unbearable. Should I get a low fat greek yogurt or something of substance?? I feel like I'm going to pass out at times.

2 week Post op Liquid diet.
RickM replied to BuffaloBill's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It is tough, even for those of us who weren't obliged to do a strictly liquid diet and could do soft things, we're still doing a lot of liquidy things because that's what's tolerated initially, Though I could do some yogurt and eggs, I still got awful tired of soups and protein jello and couldn't stand the thought of them for a couple of years. -
Hey! I’m the newbie [emoji4]
dreamingsmall replied to Simply_Jaz's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Sorry I am hearing 6 ounces and 8 ounces and your only a few days in, have you not got a limit your surgeon said you should follow? Stock is like water but I was not allowed more than 4 ounces per sitting of soup/yogurt/cream of wheat but could not manage that amount of soup. But its all fine aslong as your plan allows for that amount. How many calories is that a day? I am 3 months in and not. allowed over 800 cals, what you describe sounds more than that. Though all plans are different. You are not hungry you are still healing so the growling feels real but it settles. Eating after 10pm is a bad idea, hunger will not kill you so if your hungry after 10pm next time just wait till tommorow, you need to get into good habits. -
Hey! I’m the newbie [emoji4]
Simply_Jaz replied to Simply_Jaz's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hey! I’m up every morning around 5:30-6:00 I drink a protein shake because it’s the easiest thing for me to get. Usually by that time I’m up because I’m hungry and in pain. I eat again around 9:30-10 ish with either another shake or about 6 oz of cream of wheat blended. In between those times I’m sipping on a bottle or a large cup of water. Around 2:30-3 ish I’m having 8 ounces of whatever soup or stock around the house. I sip on more water and I either have a sf popsicle or a couple of spoonfuls of yogurt. My dinner is the same amount of soup, followed by more water. A found myself still being hungry around 10 or a little bit later, last night I got more soup. If it’s not that bad I have gotten another sf popsicle and more water and then go to bed. -
Post-op food on the go?

You could also freeze Greek yogurt for later eating. HW-292 • SW (6/29/17) 256.6 • CW 207.4 -
What do you “EAT”
RickM replied to Excitedforthesleeve's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Protein drinks are the staple early out; I would avoid that Genepro stuff as it neatly fits into the "too good to be true" miracle supplement scam category (and nobody really knows what it is.) Whey protein, preferably whey isolate, is the well accepted, best absorbed form. I also had greek yogurt, eggs, and some sloppy tuna salad, though those may not be permitted on some diets the first week or two - check with your program directions. -
55 pounds down! Feeling snacky
46w4kds replied to Readytochangemylife's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I like to snack as well, but my go to snack is sugar free popsicles and sugar free jello. When I have that hungry feeling and liquids just don't do it, I love beef jerky. I also like the atkins caramel nut roll bars, so delicious with great protein and low carbs! Oh yeah, I love Yoplait yogurt low fat, so very yummy.

Wonderful success 1 week after my surgery. No gas problems at all. I can't believe how smoothly and effectively my surgery has gone. I couldn't have dreamed of better. I'm eating about 2 oz. 3 times a day. (soups, mashed veggies, fish, crab, yogurt)- all successful!
First follow up appointment is Monday. 10/16/2017.

I feel like I can eat too much
Lovergurl replied to PepperCat's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've wondered if the ability to eat a lot is based on the tube size used in surgery. My surgery was in Mexico, so the smallest tube is used. I'm 17 days out, still zero hunger pain. I had an egg and avocado last night. 1/4 of avocado and 1/2 the egg was all I could consume and that took 20 mins. Drinking water is no problem. The shakes are because they just taste gross. My yogurt this morning was no problem, but it did take a while to finish. -
Sorry to hear that! I do know the feeling, try to keep yourself hydrated keep sipping your water, and protein shake, yogurt, and broth! Unfortunately I had a follow-up appointment today and my DR said to stay away from all dairy for now no milk, no yogurt, cheese etc... For about a WK to see if my bathroom visit calm down! It's pretty annoying cause I want to eat but everything gives me a stomach and the runs! My doc also told me I would need to get a good amount of protein otherwise I will lose weight the wrong way which is muscles and I will age faster!

I have been eating a frozen Anti-oxidant blend (Cherries, Strawberries, Raspberries, Blueberries) since Stage 3. Still look forward to it as a treat, and trying to make it more often. I do puree a half cup with some protein powder and some milk or yogurt - delicious and VERY filling.

I see you guys mentioning yogurt as an option for many of you in your all-liquid diet stage: What brands are your favorite? Do you have just plain yogurt or do you mix anything in them?

Help! It hurts when I eat! 3 months post op!
MTL replied to michey223's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Go to your surgeon, just to ensure you're fine/or not & be honest about your concerns/pain, etc. I still get spasms at 4 mos out & it helps that my nutritionist (one of 3 free ongoing monthly group support seminars offered by my surgeon) said, "Your stomach's the size of an egg, make a sunnyside up egg so you can see what you can hold. Eat slowly & chew like crazy, don't drink anything for 30 min before/after. Cut your food into sm bites, arrange the bites into the Alphabet, starting w 'A' & take a bite once you've made that letter. Then arrange the next bites into 'B' and so forth. Do this w every meal." I can only handle about 3 baby forks of regular foods & I still can't eat meats (they come right back up), but I can eat eggs, NF/SF: cheeses, cottage cheese & Greek yogurts, and fish (a few bites of each), in addition to the broths, popsicles, fudgesicles, creamsicles, puddings & jellos. I've eaten 2 bites of an English muffin, a slice of cooked bacon & 2 sausages (at separate times, w my egg). Since I tend to still inhale my food, I find that I'm my own worst enemy (self-sabotage) and I'm seeing a therapist to deal w my body dysmorphic & eating issues. I make myself shrimp fetticcine & eat 3 bites on a baby fork (also use a baby spoon). I'm a foodie & chef so I make everything fresh. I make soups/broths, but still can't eat French Onion, Chicken, Veggie, etc. soups (just made myself some, but will try again at 6 mos out). Going to get an avocado & hope I can eat a little bit. Sm victories like eating a few bites of an avocado, are so important. I'm still getting my 3 90 gms shakes in daily, because I'm learning to eat correctly & need the protein. I do get in at least 80 oz of liquids daily, aside from my shakes. As long as you check in w your surgeon/nutritionist to ensure you're doing everything correctly, don't worry about what you can't eat, but focus on what you can eat & be gently and loving to yourself at all times. I've been exercising since the day of surgery and if walking is good for you, do that & enjoy your own journey. I got a flu shot, came down w the flu, so haven't done much for almost a week but walk my dogs! When I feel well, I'll get my 2.5 ml walks in. Please forget about comparing yourself to anyone else on their own journeys: what I've learned is to just get support here on these forums as everyone else is following their own individual paths to health & wellness. Namaste.
