First of all, I always come and look at your posts, and you guys are amazing and very supporting! I just decided on on signing up lol... So my surgery is set for April 1st, an April fools band lol.. I started my pre-op diet on Monday, and it's ALREADY starting to get to me. My doctor wants me to do 3 Protein shakes a day, with one main meal of 4-6oz of chicken or very lean meat. 2cups of starches, 2cups veggies, endless salad with fat free dressing, but not drenched in the salad. I thinks its 2tsps not sure :sneaky:..... TodayI went for pre-admission testing and my scedule was totally MESSED UP, I was so mad. So I messed up my diet but let me tell u what i did. 11am-dannon light & fit yogurt lemon ciffon (yummers) 2:30pm I had a handful of carrots, diet green tea snapple which i always drank and love!!! 4:00-5oz chicken,lettuce,light mayo (a tsp,) honey dijon musturd (tsp,) and a half a whole wheat wrap. That's it so far, but i don't know if because i added the mayo and musturd i added to much fat......helllpppp

Oh goodness. I thought I was the only one that was hungry. I have been terrified that I am screwing something up, I had surgery on 3/29 and I had to move to at least something substantial once a day. I couldn't do Clear liquids. I was needing to have that all day long. Like 6 or 7 times a day and never was satisfied. I had to move right away to food once a day. Usually something like pinto Beans, butter beans. I even had some Pasta....shame I know. I only eat about 1/2 cup and then I start feeling full, so I quit. I can however eat the 6oz cup of yogurt. I thought something was wrong with me. I am so happy to know someone else out there is feeling my pain. Whew! Ronda

Impending Ins. Cancellation. Aggressive Fill. Too Tight? "just Wait It Out"? I'm Frustrated, And Need To Vent!
jen043454 replied to jen043454's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Went to the PA and had a slight unfill today. They put 1 CC in on Friday, and took .6 CC out today. I am able to drink fluids with no problem, and the surgeon suggested I get some frozen yogurt (even though it's a slider!) to get some calories in ASAP. I was more than willing to eat some froyo, and thrilled that I am still restricted, but not closed off! Thanks for the support ladies! -
Really stupid question..

Don't worry about trying to chew yogurt! LOL! Just eat it slowly, savor and enjoy it! Do thoroughly chew any food that one would normally chew! pre-surgery weight 325; surgery date 2/28/2013; surgery weight 307; 8 weeks past-op weight 281.4; 12 weeks post-op 274 -

Starting soft foods a little earlier
Teachamy replied to bklyn girl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also could have yogurt and cottage cheese the first week. Could barely get down more than a tablespoon, but I can imagine how you must feel! -
I got my band a week ago tomorrow and I am on the clear liquids diet for one week. I am constantly hungary and I am drinking constantly also. I feel like there is nothing there after I have eaten the recomended amount. My wife had the surgery done at the same time as me. She seems to be full after a yogurt or a few bites of cottage cheese. Am I doing something wrong? Or do other people have this problem after being banded. I know I have cravings still but I am able to tell the difference between hungar and craving. If anyone has advice for me let me know what you think.

Hi everyone, I had my By Pass done on December 16th 2019 and for the first two weeks after the operation I lost 12 lbs in weight. Since then I have only lost 4 lbs in 3 weeks and I even make sure that I have (75g) 3 times a day 25g of protein shake that I make with half water and half milk in the glass totalling 200ml and I also drink plenty of water each day, and eat 1 or 2 low fat yogurts and a bowl of soup each day. I am in a wheelchair and I can’t exercise much due to a Stroke, but I try. So.... please if anyone might have an idea as to what it is I am doing wrong, I would be very grateful to hear from them as it is really starting to get me down now. I am now beginning to think it is maybe because I’m British 😜 as everyone else in the world seems to be having much better luck than me 😁. Thank you so much for your help and take care.

I'm going to agree to disagree.... This surgery is an opportunity to retrain the stomach and introduce healthy food back... It's about making lifelong changes that can be sustained, sorry but two Protein shakes and a yogurt aren't going to be a way to eat for the rest of your life nor would it be healthy... 500 -600 calories a day is not much at all... 1000-1200 seems more in a healthy zone... I congratulate you on your weight loss... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Either one is fine, use both. I believe the light and fit (it's Dannon) has less fat (which I really dont care about tbh) and 7g sugar is nothing to fret over when you are only getting about 500-600 calories a day. My Protein shakes were nearly 30 grams a pop, so 2 of those pretty much took care of requirements, plus 12g more for the yogurt. I have had no trouble meeting protein goals at any phase of the diet. I lost over 20% of my excess weight in the first month and my fasting blood sugar dropped from 150+ to 89. It's still 89. This surgery was the best idea ever.

There are various "recipes" for shakes that you can find online, and some are surprisingly yummy. I like Unjury's chocolate Protein shake with a little PB2 powder blended in, or a Torani sugar free syrup. If you haven't checked out the blog "The World According to Eggface" I recommend popping over and looking at her shake recipes. Starting about a week out I began making smoothies using a Greek or Bulgarian yogurt that is high in protein and low in carbs and some frozen fruit. It felt more like a "normal" meal to me. Dr. Matthew Weiner is a bariatric surgeon who has a video on YouTube about the "set point smoothie" that he recommends to his patients. I also like adding GENEPRO or another unflavored Protein Powder to Crystal Light. For me finding things to look forward to and distract myself was beneficial during recovery. I took advantage of the time off to binge watch several shows everyone raves about that I'd never had time to watch, read some great books, and got little treats like fresh flowers and candles that add a simple pleasure to the day. That helped me to take my mind off food. I had cravings for things that first week that I haven't desired at all ever since. Head hunger is totally normal, and for most people it lessens with time.

I am ready! [emoji16]
gemigirl replied to jtellechea001's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow! Im the 19th as well and my pre-op diet starts this Friday. I'm totally jealous of those cheese sticks. My diet is Protein shakes, yogurt, thinned cream Soups, sugar free Popsicles and Mios. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Going on Vacation at 6 wks- Need food ideas
lsereno replied to DallasSleeve's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Crab or shrimp cocktail are good for restaurants. Also soup and chili as others have mentioned. I also enjoyed fish items off the appetizer menu, such as scallops and shrimp skewers. I took my Protein powder and a shaker cup and mixed it with Starbucks instant decaf coffee. Fits great in a suitcase and no worries about spills. I also brought saltine crackers, because I was allowed a couple with meals on my plan. I bought greek yogurt cups at convenience stores and ate that too. When vacationing at a hotel with a mini fridge, I stocked up on a few yogurt cups, string cheese, and low fat lunch meat. If I could find a fruit cup with mostly melon, I bought that too. I couldn't tolerate most fruits the first few months because the acid bothered me. Lynda -
Favorite Prep-Ahead Work/School Lunches?

whole foods and post op diet?
moonlitestarbrite replied to moonlitestarbrite's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
thanks for your reply. plain greek yogurt has lots of protein and no crap, esp if you make your own with organic raw milk. i cant imagine why, if you are eating such small amounts, you would need supplemental protein, it just seems like a lot of people are trading one form of junk for another...... it just seems this kind of surgery is a perfect place to start loving your body with food that is truly nurturing, dont pass it up! -
whole foods and post op diet?
VSGKirk replied to moonlitestarbrite's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm doing so much better post-op. I don't ever think I'll get to the point where I have time to make my own yogurt, but I have made leaps and bounds towards a much cleaner diet. I'll be thrilled to get to the point to eat more raw vegetables - I miss them! #progressnotperfection -
ANYTHING soft that can be pureed in a blender or w/a blender stick. Did you get a bunch of papers from your doc? There might be food ideas in there for the different stages post-op. I've got a ton of stuff from my doc. I'm still trying to go thru it all. Hang on, let me see what my paperwork says... MY doc has me on Protein shakes and drinks for the first 2 weeks. 3-4 weeks= the usual eggs of all sorts (scrambled, poached, boiled, substitute), yogurts, cottage cheeses, Peanut Butter (b/c of my band process I still can't say PB as a shortcut for the food!), low fat or part skim cheeses, dry couscous (?), skim milk, soy milk. Week 4 add: beens of all sorts, lentils, fish of all sorts, nuts of all sorts, seafood of all sorts, quinoa. He calls that his Level 2 diet. At level 3 you're heading in to week 5-6 and adding chicken/turkey first, followed by pork, beef, etc the following weeks. Definitely check your paperwork or call your doc's office or the Nut if you're working with one. Good luck!!

Is it possible I have already stretched my new sleeve?
ASKSARAH - Sleeve replied to fultont's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think it depends on the type of food. I can eat 6 oz of yogurt in 20 min, It takes me the same amount of time to eat 2 oz of chicken or beef Jerky. Its not stretched. I am sure your not self abusing. -
Just a quick food tip - most of us know that Greek yogurt is a good food choice after WLS (higher in protein, goes down easy), but many brands with any flavor have a lot of added sugar. Skyr Icelandic Provisions is a new label for me, with great stats: in a big single-serving container (250g), it has 130 Cal, 11g sugar, 2g fat, and 15g protein. And it tastes great! Enjoy!

Skyrim Icelandic Provisions
RickM replied to elmatador's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Siggis is another brand of Icelandic yogurt - similar to Greek in being filtered and concentrated, so higher protein. Like Skyr, their flavored yogurts are a low sugar added, at around 11g total; compared to 6-8 g of naturally occurring sugar in unflavored yogurt, that isn't bad, and reasonable compromise between the usual national brands that can run 20+ g for the flavored varieties, or the usual "low carb" artificially sweetened types. The Icelandic yogurts also are nice in that they are not gaggingly sweet as most other flavored yogurts tend to be. -
What are you guys eating?
wwboy replied to jonharo22's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 6 days out and am on essentially full liquids: Protein shakes, tomato Soup, broth, smooth yogurt, Water, are my staples. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Hey everyone! As a requirement for surgery I have to make a 3 day menu. My problem is that I don't like most of the items on the list. I don't like yogurt or cottage cheese. I have never eaten refried Beans. I have to have between 75-100g of Protein everyday. I want to be prepared so that I will not have problems after the surgery. What are some of the things that you guys ate during this phase of your journey. I don't have a surgery date yet, my final pre-op visit is Monday, April 14 and I am hoping to be scheduled before the end of the month (is that realistic?). I am so glad I found this site. My husband thinks I am crazy because for the past week, I have been reading all these post.

You actually cannot stretch your pouch however as the swelling goes down you have more room in there. also down the road, there is something that happens in which your brain allows you to eat more as well, so it is important that what you are eating is healthy and that you keep portion control in mind. I am 10.5 months post op and I can eat about a cup of food total. When you think of a cup of food, you think of it all chewed up. So if you are eating a salad you can actually eat more than will fit in a cup before chewing. As long as you are not eating longer than 30 minutes and sticking to your plan you should be just fine. There has been several studies done on whether the pouch stretches. The consensus is that it does not but we tend to get more comfortable eating more than we should. Listen to your stomach and stop when you are full, don't eat beyond that. Also watch for slider foods that make you hungry again too soon. This becomes important when the hunger hormones come back for us RNY folks. Slider foods for me are things like Soup, yogurt, pudding.....
