1 Weak Out - Dehydrated, Getting Hardly Any Protein And Starving
Memily replied to PinkBubble's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Split pea soup with some chicken Unjury is good blended to liquefy, Vanilla whey I added to fruit sugar free jello and puddings. I also got frozen greek yogurt bars to have a sweet treat of protein. You will get there, I wake up drinking a half a serving of Powerade Zero and then carry a water bottle with me literally everywhere. You can do it! -
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!😝🌈👍 -
I need to vent about this sucky pre op diet
TexasMiss replied to lwilliams65's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wanna bet? Try 20 days of liquids.. it can be worse Protein drinks...with Greek yogurt (yuck) SF Jello or broth if I'm still hungry. I'm ready for something different in my mouth...something crunchy.. even lettuce lol -
I drink a shake every morning so I start the day with 20 gm of Protein, usually add fruit to the vanilla shakes 3 times a week. lunch is an average of 15-20 gms from meat with veggies. I have an afternoon snack of cheese or cottage cheese/yogurt mix (about 10 gm of protein) dinner I try to get another shake in unless I am with friends, then I try to get 15-20 gm from meat then veggies. So I average 60-70 gm of protein daily

I was just wondering how everyone has been doing myself. Got banded 3/23. Lost a bit over 50 pounds so far, had two fills. Third is scheduled for Sept. 11. Hit a giant plateau for the past month (seriously, the scale didn't budge, no matter how much or how little I ate or exercised or anything). FINALLY started moving again 2 days ago, thank goodness. Hoping to be down 10 by my fill appt (8 left). Hoping I can really drive it home right now since I'm apparently done plateauing for now. Can't eat at all before about noon. Just do a Protein shake or yogurt for Breakfast. I'm trying to get more fluids. I've always been a big drinker but for the past two weeks I have noticed that I've not been drinking much at all (mayyybe 60 oz a day, nowhere near enough for me). So I'm making a conscious effort this week to up my Fluid intake. Other than that, things are going well. I was getting really aggravated about not losing any weight, but at least I didn't gain. Have gotten stuck a few times via user error. I will decide that 11:30am is close enough to 12 to eat, and then get stuck. My body is on some weird time clock. Anyway, hope everyone else is doing well!

Liquids after surgery
lauragshsu replied to suebydoo70's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon called is the "full liquid" phase. We were allowed to eat cream soups (like cream of mushroom, cream of potato, etc), yogurt, SF pudding and SF fudgesicles. -
I'm doing mashed potatoes tonight with yogurt butter and skim milk. I'm excited about that. First eating my protein so just expecting to be able to have a few mashed potato bites.

I'm exactly one week out from surgery and everything has been going awesome but I hit a bump in the road...! This morning after taking my meds I got very nauseated and then when I tried to eat yogurt my stomach hurt after a spoon. I decided not to eat and slept off the pain. I was able to drink without problems all day but when it came time to take my meds again the same problem happened. I also had the same stomach pain and ended up throwing up, which I had not done at all until today. Any suggestions as to why this could be happening and what I should do? Please help...! Thanks!

Cottage Cheese Vs. Yogurt For Pre Op Diet
rebecca b replied to frumpy69's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Nervous - Surgery set for Aug 2 at TLBC, ? re pre-op diet?
Woodys replied to kero's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was banded at TLBC June 8th 2006 and have already reached goal. The best advice I can offer is follow instructions.....Lapbandtalk can offer simple suggestions through experience, however.....when it comes to advice about fills, staying on liquid or other diets, etc...then talk to your Dr....they know best. I have never had an issue with TLBC...they treated me well and professional at all times, I had no complication pre or post surgery. My husband is a chef. I do not like cottage cheese so for the pre-op diet my husband was mixing 1/2 cup low fat yogurt with 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese, 1/2 cup of ice cubes, 1 package of sweetner and liquified it through the blender...every day he would add different flavourings...such as 1 - 2 tablespoons of sugar free jam, or 1 tablespoon of plain cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of real vanilla, etc. It was like drinking liquid cheesecake! Don't say you can't take the pre-op for 14 days....it will be tough but think of your priorities.....1) not following instructions and compromising your surgery....or 2) weight loss from your surgery which will bring you better quality of a longer life that would otherwise be compromised from your obestiy. I took the second choice and am now enjoying life as I never knew it....I also wear a size 8.....from a 24/26. Good luck Carol -
I am thinking I made the wrong decision...
Lynn B replied to divaliciousdee's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Dee Dee, The following list of food is concidered Full Liquids and is what my surgeon sends you home from the hospital on. This is his recomended diet for the first 3 week (then you see the dietician as she can advance you to the next step). Give your doctor or nutritionist a call and ask about these foods because it really helps to add some variety. Beverages: Skim or 1% milk (carb countdown fat free contains more protien) Low sugar, decaffeinated, non-carbonated Fluid (crystal light, fruit2o, etc) Low sugar, low fat, high Protein supplements (CIB, protien shakes, etc) Dairy products Low fat, light yogurt SF, FF pudding & custard Low fat cottage cheese (blended) Soup Low fat cream Soups thinned down with 1 cup low fat milk (strained of chunks or blended) Low fat broth Miscellaneous Plain hot cream of wheat or otameal (must be pourable consistancy) SF popsicle unsweetened applesauce SF Gelatin Once you get some food that you body can use into it you should start feeling better. Good luck, -

Miranda replied to kero's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi Kero! I soo wrote the same sort of post you wrote just like 1.5 months ago. I was banded on June 7/07. I am having a rough time with the post op stuff..just waiting for thr 1st fill. All you have to think when doing the pre op diet..."I have to do this....I dont have a choice...I can only eat what they said....I dont want to screw this up" Thats what I said all the time. Gosh I was getting to the point I was scared the fruit in my yogurt was to big. It all worked out. For me the pre op was pretty easy. Actually I am having a hard time with food right now and back to over eating that I put myself back on the pre op until my 1st fill! -
If you have a dollar store near you they have little packages of tuna or chicken salad and 6 crackers. It is just right and inexpensive. I eat the baby bel light cheese a lot. I eat yogurt. A lot of times I pack a few things because I never know what I will be in the mood for or how my restriction will be.

First time going out for dinner
Susie in Lima replied to wackiemama's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would check and see what your NUT has cleared you for. I was on mushy's at that time period and I could have mashed potatoes, hummus, yogurts, Soups. You still need to be very careful, your tummy is still healing. Maybe you could take something with you to eat while he is eating. Congrats!!! They grow up too quickly! So glad that you are getting healthier so you can enjoy life better with him! -

i need a refresher...high protein foods
MSan914 replied to Erin18's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Egg yolks are high in fat and contain no Protein - try to stick to the egg whites, if you can, that is where the protein is. My FAVORITE ready-to-drink Protein shakes are chocolate PREMIER shakes...I get mine at costco (similar, but better than Sam's Club) 160 cals, 30g of protein and 1g of sugar. For powder I like the Believe - Ice Cream Cookie flavor and also the unjury chocolate. CHOBANI greek yogurt comes in flavors, Peach, strawberry and Blueberry. I get them at my local grocery store or at CostCo. 14g of protein in 6oz containers, 140 cals I add raw spinach in with my shakes, to get some extra Vitamins and minerals. I have a VitaMix blender -- BEST ONE EVER!!! Great for smoothies, Soups, etc. I stay away from chicken - it gets stuck. But LOVE the fishes, and beef.... though!! GOOD LUCK! -
I guess I'm not alone - misery loves company! Lol I got a full bottle of Water down and I'm starting another. The headache is easing up finally. It's puzzling to me how something you eat all the time with no trouble can suddenly make you sick. Today will be a Soup and yogurt day. I've got too much to do and those are 'safe' for me... so far. :-) Congrats on your new dog. I can't imagine life without them. We are adopting ours from the Dachshund Rescue of North America. Little Fred will be coming to us from South Carolina next week. He's our third Dachshund from that rescue. My young guy needs a buddy to play with. My other dog is elderly and frail and all she does is sleep. :-)

I'm 14 days out and on purée. I agree getting my nutrition from food alone is just not possible. I still am having 2 Protein shakes a day giving me 40 grams of protein strait out of the bat. The foods that have worked best for me are Greek yogurt, tomato Soup, and puréed chili. But with those I only get between 50 to 100 calories per meal. My favorite Protein Shakes a unjury and chike. I found the. Both on amazon. I really look forward to them. Best of luck!

I did. I did liquid diet fie total of almost 7 weeks straight. I wss committed of course but I rold my husband I'd love it if they made a garlic chicken flavored Protein shake. I was counting down the days until I could have something like Jello and yogurts. Hang in there...

Mind hunger...
HopefulintheMidwest replied to Jaime14's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Me! I think we all struggle with this. What helped me a little was when I could advance from liquids to pureed. At least I can now introduce things like Greek yogurt (thinned with skim milk), ricotta, Jello (which I was not permitted on liquids). The sugar free popsicles in Tropical flavor really saved me - felt like a treat that i could sort of chew. Hang in there - keep your eye on the prize! It will be worth it. -
Are protein shakes considered a meal?
J_BandRanger replied to criveraarroyo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
yes, i count my shakes as a meal - especially b/c of the calorie count. I also blend in 4-5 ice cubes, a small yogurt and some times a banana. then i pour it into my tallest reusable coffe mug w/lid from DDs and leave it in the freezer until i'm walking out the door. That way, i can drink it "like coffee" in the morning...in the car or at my desk at work. Works like a charm!! -
