Wedding dinner advice...
Armygalbonnie replied to Merm12210's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I know I'm going to have trouble finding something to eat, I take a Premier Protein shake with me. Not much fun but it's on program and it keeps me from eating something that may cause me to fail. At 2.5 weeks out, you can't take any chances eating a texture that your Dr. hasn't approved. It's way too dangerous! I was on purred foods at that time, and I primarily stuck to cottage cheese, yogurt and tuna salad. There's no way I could have handled any more texture than that. Good luck tomorrow! -
Wedding dinner advice...
Kmccusker127 replied to Merm12210's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Maybe Soup or soft veggies. I would pack some cottage cheese, maybe a yogurt or other small containers of soft foods. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Carrots won't be a good post-op snack, but cheese cubes are good. Try for protein Snacks like cheese sticks, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, Jerky, nuts, and beef/turkey sticks. If you do Protein shakes or bars for snacks, be sure to read the labels and make sure they aren't loaded with sugar or carbs.

Hi...I was banded in Monterey, MX by Dr. Sanchez. I could not be banded in the US at that time because I was not considered "morbidly obese". I did the yo yo with my weight most of my adult life and was never able to maintain a constant healthy weight. At that time the lap band was very new and a lot of people were going to MX for placement. I have not had a fill in over 10 years and still have restriction. I still have to eat slow, chew well and am not able to eat certain foods unless I have had a drink or two (which loosens the band...relaxes me). I still have a difficult time eating out .... I eat much better at home. I can't eat in the mornings and have carnation instant usually. I try to get my protein in with cottage cheese, yogurt, organic chicken and eggs (eggs don't always do well). I juice occasionally to get my veggies and fruits. I am considering removing my band this next year because I would like to be able to eat salads and fruit naturally and I do have to work at getting my nutrients in. Unfortunately, ice cream, candy and white russians go through very well, lol. I know I would lose another ten pounds if I would cut out the sugar. I still slime a lot and that concerns me. Im not really sure what I will do. I am not being followed by a doctor and have not been for 10 years. I do have a lot of heart burn and am sure it is because of the sliming. I am going to see a doc to get checked out this year for that. I do not regret getting the band as it has helped me in the long run. The band is the boss as you all know. Any questions, feel free to ask. Also, I had a tummy tuck in Monterey with Dr Cardenas about a year after my weight loss and that was the best thing I ever did for ME....

Differentiating between fullness and hunger
ShelterDog64 replied to White Sale's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@White Sale I never felt restriction in my sleeve until I was on a regular diet. Soft/mushies didn't trigger it at all, and even now, if I eat yogurt or cottage cheese, I get no 'stop' sensation...but dense Proteins? Definitely. You're doing the right thing, measuring and sticking to your plan. -

Good eating Habits
JamieLogical replied to HealthierMe2017's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
You can definitely enjoy treats like ice cream post-op. Not immediately post-op, obviously, but certainly by the time you are in maintenance. I had half a piece of Cheesecake Factory cheesecake last night! The most important things post-op will be Protein and Water. You need need need to put protein first. But if you are meeting your protein goals, then a little ice cream or mashed potatoes or whatever once in a while is fine. I think right now, pre-op, there are some things you can work on that will make your post-op life easier. Start going ahead and putting protein first. Eat your protein before your starches or vegetables at each meal. Start working on finding high protein Snacks you can enjoy (greek yogurt, cottage cheese, string cheese, nuts, Jerky, turkey sticks, etc.). Start tracking your protein. Ideally you will want to get up to 100 grams a day. Start getting a sense of how much protein is in the foods you eat regularly. Start cutting back on carbs. Your pre-op diet will likely be a no-carb diet. So it will only help you to kick that carb habit sooner than later! If you smoke, quit now! You will be required to quit prior to surgery and giving up smoking AND food at the same time will be too much to handle. Cut back on caffeine and alcohol too. You won't be allowed any of either for at least 30 days post-op by most plans, so again, easier to phase it out now than have to go cold turkey at the time of your surgery. Start eating slowly and trying to not eat and drink at the same time. The not eating and drinking at the same time thing will seem impossible at first. For me, I had to just not even have a beverage within reach while eating, otherwise I would drink it without even thinking about it. As for eating slowly... chew each bite as thoroughly as possible and set your fork down between bites. -
9 Days to Fiance's VSG
Kaylamh replied to HappilyHeather's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Don't be worried too much about feeding them post op. During my full liquid phase I drank shakes and ate yogurt. In my puréed stage I've been a huge fan of cottage cheese (with Splenda, vanilla and a dash of cinnamon), chicken salad, scrambled eggs and yogurt. It's not a ton of stuff that you have to cook. The soft foods phase is where it gets tricky, but it's kind of like a previous poster said. Most of it is normal stuff that anyone will eat, so just split portions of protein and make sure they're moist and soft. (Meatloaf, dark meat poultry, shrimp etc) -
I made regular food and just puréed it in my magic bullet. Things cooked in a slow cooker are great to puree because they are very soft. Make sure you purée the meat with enough sauce/broth. I also ate refrigerator Beans with some shredded cheese, egg salad puréed up, and Greek yogurt. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Are revisions REALLY necessary?
pvechiola replied to Babbs's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I completely agree, if you had the surgery once why on earth should the insurance company have to pay for it again!! I hate to be blunt but evidently you are not sticking with the program if you don't stay away from bad foods. My family is from Sicily and we eat pasta and I know my mom worries whenever we don't want to eat it, it was the hardest thing for me to do is to tell her I was dropping pasta from my diet, she says portion control is the answer and she's right and portion control is a problem but to get my life back on track I don't want to especially hurt moms feelings a little but I am determined to loose this weight. It is so true about Italian families they all revolve around food. Now she is pushing yogurt on me every second she's trying to feed me. I'm not sure what's harder learning how to eat properly or teaching my mom that I don't need to eat everything she buys me for my diet all in the same week. I hope this gets easier.

For me, soon 7 weeks out, I have a lot of things reducing my eating. Here are a few of my reasons: - I'm simply not hungry and forget to eat sometimes - the restriction of my pouch makes all my meals very small - I dump on all sweet foods in tiny amounts and even all fast/simple carbs if I don't have enough Proteins with them - I have to eat enough proteins every day and I don't have room for bad choices - I drink all the time and have to plan my eating around it, so unplanned Snacks never happen - foods taste different, I don't even care for sweet foods like yogurt, I would rather have something salty I have to use an app to track my diet, otherwise I end up eating and drinking way too little. My fitness pal is a very good app for this, if you aren't using one yet. Good luck to you! Nilla

Hi All. My surgery was 10/13/15 because of chronic HBP and its been normal since then. Now however, I'm 14 weeks pregnant and just had a super high reading of 142/90. I could not eat much at all during my first trimester, specifically meat, milk eggs and yogurt, and so I fear I've been living like my pre-surgery days and eating way too many carbs and Christmas candy and Christmas Cookies. Like, an insane amount, and I'm wondering if maybe this has spiked my blood pressure. Go ahead, nail away!

The sugar in Noosa would kill me! 9 months out. I used to like it a lot though. I didn't care for the oikos yogurt I tried but I still have a few flavors to try. I am finding my tastes have changed a lot since the surgery. I find I have to try things once or twice to see if I like it. Might be the same for you. I like dannon light and fit Greek yogurt. It is yummy and lower on the sugars. My Dad and Stepmother who had rny years ago love the carb control yogurt by kroger/smith's. Can't find it out where I am but it might be near you. Best of luck with everything!

@@BigViffer lucky for me I am no longer tempted by Noosa. I brought the rhubarb one home once. That very day I opened it up and found the thing absolutely covered in green and black mold. And it was well within its expiration date, too. Ever since then, any time I get tempted by Noosa at the market, I just re-live opening up that container of rhubarb yogurt and it is extremely easy to keep walking right by the Noosa.

Try Fage or Siggi's yogurt for much better nutrition -- lower calories, carbs, and sugar and higher protein.

There is too much sugar! I stick to Yoplait Greek 100 and light and fit Greek Dannon with 80 calories. Also, you want to try to stay away from yogurts that have fruit in them. Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

Help! Have to go to a business conference three weeks post op
Bufflehead replied to NWJill's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
The important thing is if they don't serve something you are confident you can eat, then don't eat then! Don't risk it. If anyone questions your not eating (I am imagining my typical professional conferences where you may be seated with acquaintances or people you don't know at all) just tell them you aren't feeling up to food. If they look alarmed, reassure them that you are not contagious. Make sure you bring non-perishable foods you can eat later in your hotel room such as tuna packets. You can also get things like scrambled eggs from room service. Try to make sure you have a mini-fridge in your room, then find the nearest market and stock it with Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese sticks, hard boiled eggs, protein shakes, etc. I know a lot of people rely on protein bars in this sort of situation -- I personally find them a trigger food and detrimental to weight loss, so I stay away. YMMV. If you can eat soup, there will often be that available as an option for you at conference meals as well. Good luck! -
Does anyone know if Noosa yogurt would be a good choice after sleeve surgery? I am wondering because it seems to have alot of sugar, but I think the Protein amount is high also.

Make sure that you are eating Breakfast, lunch and dinner and then your Snacks inbetween meals... so that you are getting in 5-6 meals a day. As you are one week out, you are probably on the full liquid diet phase (not sure-everyone is different). If you are on full liquids, just drink some Protein shake or eat a snack of healthy low-sugar yogurt without fruit in it. The protein will help fill you up better than anything else will. Also make sure you get plenty of liquids.

You need to get that Protein in right away. I imagine the protein will help with both the dizziness and the nausea. Try getting it in however you can, whether through Protein shakes, unflavored Protein powder mixed in drinks or Soups or yogurt. And just start sipping that Water or other liquid... decaf tea, crystal light, Powerade zero to name a few. Little sips and then stop a couple of minutes and come back for more. You may not feel like drinking right now because of the nausea and dizziness, but I really think the lack of protein is causing it.

I was sleeved on 12/21 and my schedule now is like this: Morning - 2 scarmbled eggs with 1 oz of shredded cheese One Premier Protein (11 oz) on the way to work 16 oz of Water at work, sip until lunch Lunch - Last several days it's been Shelly's Ricotta Bake as described above 16 oz Diet Snapple 16 oz water, sip until I get home dinner - Various, either chicken salad, refried Beans, tuna, egg salad, turkey salad 1 or 2 sugar-free popsicles, or maybe a Yoplait light yogurt (6 oz - Boston Cream Pie!) 16 oz water That puts me at just about 900 or so calories a day and I never feel hungry and it satisfies my liquid and protein requirements.

As far as items to eat - check out the blog the world according to eggface - she has an entire post of puree phase ideas. Some things that got me through: greek yogurt (just make sure it is a flavor that doesn't have bits of fruit), cottage cheese, ricotta bake (from the blog), refried beans with melted cheese, pureed tuna/salmon/chicken/egg salad using plain nonfat greek yogurt instead of mayo.

At three weeks out, I was only on soft foods. My routine looked something like this: Breakfast: Protein shake Morning snack: string cheese Lunch: Protein Shake Afternoon snack: Greek yogurt Dinner: Shelly's Baked Ricotta (recipe here)

Any college students?
katanne replied to JersSlimDown's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am in nursing school, although I am a Nontraditional student at age 42 and I don't live on campus. My school is surrounded by restaurants, though, so I will definitely have eating challenges. My plan is to eat at the hospital cafeteria, which has Greek yogurt and lean protein options available. I of course have to make time to cook for myself at home, too, which is hard when assignments start piling up. My first appointment is on the 9th. -
