  1. I can honestly tell you that I love food 100% just the same as I did pre-op. It took me months to get here, and I really didn't start liking food again I was at goal, and was able to really add in more food into my daily intake that consisted of more than just meat, cheese, eggs, and greek yogurt. Also, get creative. There are fabulous recipes out there that really made eating easier, and more pleasant. You'll be able to enjoy food again. I eat a huge variety of foods, and do not keep anything off my menu just because I had VSG. I had sushi(3 slices of shrimp tempura roll), and some pepper steak with fried rice this afternoon for lunch, for dinner I had 1/2 sonic corny dog, 3 chili/cheese tater tots, and 2 cheddar poppers. Okay, so it took me about an hour to eat dinner tonight because the corndog was filling, BUT it was a mad pregnancy craving, and it's what I wanted. Seriously, you will enjoy food again, but it will take some time, and some creativity on your part.
  2. Has anyone tried the Icelandic yogurt? http://smariorganics.com/ Here is a link to the calories and other information: http://smariorganics.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Product-Request-Form-v72914.pdf
  3. I'm getting pretty nervous. My house is clean, I finished up with work, and I've done all my shopping. I even cleaned out the fridge and freezer so I don't have anything I shouldn't have in the house. I have a couple more things to do around the house over the next 2 days and I will do some food prep over the next couple of days (not a ton to do, just putting some greek yogurt, SF Jello, broth in 2 oz cups, etc... ) It would be much easier if I could just keep busy. How are you all feeling? Lori
  4. So I'm 7 days out, just starting purees today. Had to pop in at a work party and of course there was NO food I could eat. I did down a yogurt before I went, but sitting there with food in my face became a THING! So I dipped celery into a smooth dip. And it was good. So I did that several times. Still good. Fast forward 45 minutes until I arrived home and guess what?? Out she goes! I didn't think about the fat content that might have been in ranch dip, I thought, oh well, similar to yogurt, probs has protein, I should be good. Pouchie says "That's a no from me Dawg!!!"
  5. I'm 18 days out, and for the past three days I've got my protein in via my food versus drinks. Yahoo! I'm averaging between 60-70 grams of protein and between 700 and 800 calories. I use greek yogurt, eggs, light string cheese, refried beans with cheddar, tuna, and crab to get it all in. It really hasn't been difficult with a little planning. I get to introduce soft foods next week, so I will add fish and some ground meats to my variety.
  6. @@Anabean I'm 5 weeks too and I too struggle to eat more than 1/4 cup I do two 30g Protein drinks a day premiere protein and I also usually have a cup of homemade chicken broth in the afternoon. dinner I get some fish and I might snack on one egg in the mid morning or cottage cheese or yogurt like 1-2 tbsp. Down 40 so far never ate so much protein in my life lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  7. Recovery is slow I have to say. But first week I was unable to even keep Water down so I think I am a bit behind. They put a stent in my stomach to untwist it and I have surgery Jan 10th to remove it! I have lost 41 lbs since the surgery. I can tolerate all liquids but have zero hunger now so food is tough to get down. I can tolerate yogurt, applesauce, pudding but not much beyond that yet! How are you doing? If you private message me I would love to share my contact details if you want a friend in the area that is going through the same thing! My name is Brandee but can not figure out how to add my picture! Lol Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App
  8. No game

    PINKBERRY AND FRO-YO

    Well I'm sure you can eat it... But is it a comparable replacement for the shakes? No. If your on full liquids try some Fage plain Greek yogurt with some Splenda and vanilla extract.

    PINKBERRY AND FRO-YO

    Yoplat makes a really good frozen greek yogurt popsicle....the vanilla and honey tastes like ice cream. I lived off of that for a couple weeks LOL
  10. I generally have not tried to replace Pasta, bread, etc. So, if I had been eating sandwiches, now I'd just eat a meat/cheese/mustard (whatever) rollup. And some veggies or fruit on the side. meat and veggies. The occasional potato. Breakfast has always been rough for me too. I usually would do a Protein shake in the morning, or just have a bit of tea/coffee, then have yogurt and a granola bar mid-morning once things loosened up.
  11. Exactly 2 weeks from today is my surgery I'm excited and nervous and anxious lol so today I start my pre-op diet. So for the next 2 weeks this is what my food for the whole day will look like: Breakfast: chobani Greek yogurt and 24 oz water Snack: protein shake Lunch: 3/4 cup fat free cottage cheese, 1/2 cup watermelon and 24oz water Snack: 2 sugar free Popsicles Dinner: 3oz tilapia, 1 cup broccoli (cooked) and 24oz water All of that is within my calorie, carb, protein and fluid guidelines lol to me it doesn't sound like a lot of food but after surgery I won't be eating much so my body has to get used to it some how lol do can anyone tell me how you deal with food cravings during this time and how to NOT give into ur food cravings?
  12. I didn't have a revision, just the sleeve, but I can eat a while yogurt or drink a whole shake, but food is a whole different story. and each meat is different on how much I can eat. the food scale is a life saver! some meats I can only have 1 ounce and others I can eat 2 ounces.
  13. Ok I hear what you guys are saying just because I CAN eat 8oz doesn't mean I have to. I wish sometimes I didn't feel hungry. It looks like everyone is having difficulty eating 500calories and I eat 800calories easily and am totally satufied by the end of the day. I'm not eating tortillas or breads. I eat Beans and mean and cottage cheese. Is it ok to eat the Chobani flavored Greek yogurt cups? Those are where my carbs/sugar comes from daily. Is that bad? It's 6oz and I can eat the entire thing for breakfast. Is that too much? It does keep me satisfied. I figure I lost 16lbs in 5weeks I'm losing slow and steady but healthy. I get too wrapped up in reading other people losing 40lbs in two months and eating 400calories a day. I know I'm working out 4x a week and eating good Protein. Thanks for listening!!!

    April sleevers

    Omg me too! Lol. I NEVER ate yogurt before, but it DOES taste good now! Hahah. Too bad I still can't get any of the real good flavor I want (raspberry, strawberry, etc). Never thought pureed Progresso Soup would be good either.
  15. First, I would say don't beat yourself up. You really do have it in you to do this.... We all do! Second, stop drinking alcohol on the weekends. Especially 4-5 drinks. That is a lot of empty calories and heavy guilt. I completely understand the stressful job. I started carrying a cooler with me that has P3 Protein Snacks, Greek yogurt, Water and Protein shakes. If I get stuck or have forgotten to eat I have something healthy to fall back on. No matter the job, everyone is allowed breaks and meals. Is there a gym nearby you can join? Can you walk some steps or walk around the parking lot? Definitely log your food. I am absolutely overwhelmed with learning to eat a balanced diet, but like I said above, we can do this! We have it in us. The only other suggestion I can make is start over with a week of Clear liquids. Life is all about do-overs. I read somewhere once that we can't let failure define us, let getting back up and starting again and again and again and not giving up define us.

    My first fill

    lol, Nope I am not baaaaad, ( lol, but when I am, I'm GOOD!) some folks can't afford or don't like optifast so then they say cottage cheese and yogurt is fine.I ate loads of vanilla yogurt my fav and lost weight and had the cottage cheese for protein.
  17. Those of you who are post-op, what are the kitchen gadgets/utensils you've found most helpful? I want to make sure my kitchen is ready before my surgery in ~6 weeks. So far, I've got measuring cups/spoons, mini strainers, silicone ice cube trays (for broth and yogurt and such), and small containers for taking lunch to work. As for bigger items, I also have a food processor, blender, immersion blender, and crock pots.

    I am scheduled for May

    OK. I have 15 days. FIFTEEN days. I've been trying to wean myself from diet sodas. That's going to be my downfall. And coffee. I ordered half decaf the other day at my favorite restaurant and I think the waitress thought I'd lost my mind. :thumbup: They bring you a whole personal pot of coffee to sit at the table, so I just looked at her and said, "fill the pot half full of regular and then top it off with decaf". Duh. I couldn't really tell a difference, thankfully, but I have a feeling I'm going to be missing coffee something terrible. The only thing the nurse told me over the phone was that I'd be "clear liquids" the 24 hours prior to my surgery. That was it. I've been expecting some godawful pre-op diet that required me to only drink blue sodas every fifth bathroom trip and to stand on my head while eating my yogurt or something. :thumbup: F I F T E E N D A Y S ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! I will probably explode before then. At least it will save the doctor the surgery time. :thumbup:

    One Week Post Op!

    Hey LuLu! Great question . I actually opted to follow Dr. Cirangle's post op guidelines rather than Dr. Garcia. Dr. Cirangle is with LapSF in San Francisco and his patients are wildly successful at meeting or getting below goal. I frequent Obesity Help and have learned so much from his post op patients. His plan is more structured...and I don't know about you...but I really need structure. His guide is 35 pages long and has amazingly detailed informations down to the best quality yogurt brand to have. I'm glad that I stayed with clears a little longer too, because I wanted to make sure I could meet my Fluid goal of 60 oz per day before moving up. And. Am finally getting there. Yesterday I started regular Protein shakes and they filled me up quick! So far I am 9 days out and down 16 pounds and I feel incredible!
  20. OP you got a myriad of opinions from posters and everyone speaks from their own perspective, some who are giving you a strict admonishment and some who think you're probably ok but don't repeat the behavior. We're all here trying to help and there are NO absoutely right answers, surgeons and nutritionists give different dietary guidelines. Common sense does come into play, you have a brand new suture line that doesn't need to be tested or having solids trying to work thru the seam. Here's the other thing I want to say, just because you can doesn't mean you should. Psycholgically you may have lost your fear of eating things outside of your recommended diet, and this may continue to plague you as you move forward and affect your weight loss. After a while its a struggle to lose, this is the time you should be on the mark. Stock your cupboards with Protein powder and Soups so you always have something on hand, later down the line when you are cleared for solids, keep cheese sticks, yogurt or cottage cheese, beef jerkey, nuts...always have the right food handy if possible.

    Does Anyone Else Hate Eating?

    I am 9 months post op also. I don't exactly hate eating but I don't love it or enjoy it anymore either. There are days when I get a sad because someone is eating something that I used to love like cheesecake or a burger from Red Robin but then I remind myself that those foods put my health and life at risk. Lots of the foods I used to eat, I avoid now because I can't tolerate them but most of those foods were unhealthy to begin with. Everytime I get a little depress about not being able to eat, I look at my before and after picture on my iPhone. I now go for foods that I know will be easily tolerated like salads, oatmeal, yogurt, tuna salad, fish, soft cooked veggies. The one thing a really miss is a big glass of ice cold milk. But I am a size 0 now with no high blood pressure, no pre diabetic signs, normal heart function, no back pain, no ankle pain, no knee pain, no snoring, etc... I can live with getting a little sad 3-30 mins meal times a day in exchange for a healthier me.

    Weird post surgery things

    Could you stir a pinch of cocoa and some stevia into some yogurt?, the vanilla usually enhances the chocolate,taste. That's the first thing that comes to mind, I think maybe Hershey might make a sugar-free syrup, I know Smuckers makes a diet version of their caramel ice cream topping, so why wouldn't a big place like Hershey/Reese Cups do the same?

    Eating out at Costco!

    the same thing happened to me the other day! I was there around lunch time and I was hungry! I ate the samples by the time I left, I had had steak kabobs, cheese, yogurt, grilled chicken, cherries, a cracker with spinach dip and a small piece of cake! I was done til dinner! What a great way to have a free lunch! AND they said, "there are no free lunches!" they must not have been a bander at CostCo!

    Biggest Loser

    I think that snacking is an effective way to do it. In the past my meal plans have been a schedule of meals like: Breakfast at 7 (cereal, oatmeal) 150 cal Snack at 10 (yogurt or apple) 100 cal Lunch at noon (salad, protein) 200 cal Snack at 3 (popcorn or apple) 100 cal Dinner at 6 (protein and veggies) 300 cal Dessert at 7 (WW dessert) 140 cal Eating like this is supposed to boost your metabolism. However, I havne't been able to do this since the lapband. I try to stick to 3 meals but can't do breakfast or morning snack anymore.
  25. I only buy FAGE 0% Greek yogurt. I eat it pretty much daily. In fact, I buy it by the case from Whole Foods. (6 pts @ $6.99ea - 10% case discount). I add it to my Protein shakes in the morning, use it instead of sour cream and even as a mayo replacement. I like that the only ingredients are milk and yogurt cultures. Nutrition breakdown is Calories 130, Fat 0, Carbs 9gm, Protein 23gm, Sugar 9gm per cup. As for add ins, I use pretty much anything on hand; fresh fruit, almond butter, a drizzle of raw honey, and on the rare occasion I buy flavored protein powder, I'll add a scoop of that and mix with the yogurt and then sit in the fridge for a bit to chill to the consistency of pudding. Me too, I find it the best and it's really lovely : Typical Values Typical Values per 100g Energy 243 kJ (57 kcal) Fat 0 g of which saturates 0 g Carbohydrate 4 g of which sugars 4 g Protein 10.3 g Salt 0.1 g Calcium 120 mg % R.D.A.* 15% *Recommended Daily Allowance -
