August post op sleevers: Check in
mbrinmn replied to motherof5's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm four weeks out today. My surgery was performed in Tijuana by Dr. Lopez's wife, Dr. Jacqueline Osuna. The whole experience was awesome. I have quite felt like moving onto solid foods yet. I'm still very comfortable at the mashed up stage, although I can handle more coarsely mashed/smooshed foods now. I will have to look up Korma chicken. I love chicken...but I have always been a dark meat fan. Guess I'll be switching to mostly breast meat from now on. My problem is trying to keep up with all the protein intake, but keep the calories down. I drink a 25g shake in the morning, but poor unflavored mix into it to add 21g more. Then for a little later snack, I have a cup of Greek yogurt with another pack of unflavored mix stirred in. With all that, I'm sitting pretty good at about 70 grams of protein, but about 526 calories. Gees, protein shakes and powers have a LOT more calories than I would have ever expected. I think I'm sticking close to about 800 calories a day for the time being. I still cannot eat very much at all. I had trouble downing the full cup of yogurt, but I do for the protein. -
Single large "hiccup" when I first drink
Missy161 replied to Missy161's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Tonight I ate yogurt around 5:15- drank water about a half hour later and then another 45 min after that we were walking around Walmart and got the hiccup so there's no reason I should have . So weird! Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 196.6 GW 135 -
How many calories/carbs/proteins are you eating? I have been sticking to 800 calories, under 100 carbs & 100 g protein. It's been a total liquid diet for the past week and I have lost 12lbs. I can have protein shakes and 1-2 cups of creamed soups strained or a low fat Greek yogurt.

What Food Comes After Liquid Post Op Diet?
hadouni replied to Kareforme's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started week three today and I got to add: yogurt, cottage cheese, tofu, re-fried Beans, mashed potato, lactose free milk, sugar free low calorie pudding, mashed hard boiled eggs. I think there might be one or two other things but that's pretty close. I have that for the next two weeks. I made myself some pumpkin tofu custard, greek yogurt does down just fine and I made some vegetarian chili that I plan to puree. I tried last night but the yellow split peas weren't totally mushy yet. I also plan to do a little egg salad with yogurt instead of mayo. -
Thanks for the tip - was hoping for a chewable vitamin and I happen to be going to Costco today anyway. I may need to pick up some more Premier Protein while I'm there. I hate plain vanilla, but I've been using it as a base for smoothies. This morning I mixed it with a non-fat Chobani blueberry yogurt, some fresh blueberries and ice. It is my favorite one so far. So flavorful - yum! I wouldn't be surviving preop if I couldn't add to these shakes. Hope everyone is doing well!

I just got home from the hospital today. Surgery was yesterday at 1pm. It all went well. I have not experienced any issues with gas yet. I feel ok and was ready around 730am to go home but of course didn't get to lol. Slight pain on my stomach but I have been walking anyway. It is not as bad as I was thinking. I am happy and excited now. On full liquids. I already had some cream of wheat and light vanilla yogurt. Mixed together was way better than by itself. Good luck to you all having surgery soon.

Having to lose 14-20lbs before surgery
KristenLe replied to BeautifulSharifah's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was having yogurt and fruit for Breakfast until my body decided it had enough yogurt and I couldn't gag down even a bite. I prefer food but I haven't had any ambition to make anything to bring to work with me so I grab a protein shake (Premier Protein - 30 gms protein/160 calories) to have in the morning. I ran out so today I brought no sugar added carnation breakfast which is pretty good (not as many gms of protein though). I eat protein/veggies for lunch and dinner. -
Having to lose 14-20lbs before surgery
Armygalbonnie replied to BeautifulSharifah's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started my pre-op diet on August 1st. Before October 6th, I need to lose 10-15 lbs, but no more of I will be below 35 BMI. So... I've already lost 14 lbs! My NUT put me on the following diet and I've stuck to it. Breakfast: High Protein low car shake - Premier Snack: cheese stick, piece of fruit or low sugar greek yogurt. I could also choose 1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese with fruit, 1 oz. nuts or an egg. Lunch: 3-4 lean protein, 1-2 cups veggies Snack: Same options above Dinner: Same as lunch. Only eat whole grain carbs 2-3X a week. Drink a lot of Water. Once I gave up Diet Coke, the weight started falling off. For protein, I eat chicken, turkey burgers, fish, shrimp, tuna, eggs/egg beaters. I buy the pre-cooked chicken and steak fajita meet and put it on a green salad. Occasionally I do have nuts. There have been times when I've been hungry but it's really worked for me, so I keep doing it. I can't lose anymore weight so now that will be a challenge. I'll talk to my NUT but probably put a few carbs back into my diet. Good Luck!! -
Awesome topic. I've been wondering about the things i've read too. Several people saying they eat ANYTHING they want, just smaller portions. Honestly, it would be nice maybe 8months to a year down the mine to be able to have a cup of chow mein or a slice of pizza here and there, but as of now, i think its most important to train myself to eat well. I havent had a cheeseburger in almost 3 months and i'm amazed at how I dont crave it anymore. Im actually craving hummus and greek yogurt. Lol i'm almost 20days post op and if I start thinking I might be able to slide in chips or dessert soon then it's going to create a slippery slope. I know myself lol anyway, best of luck to everyone!

Any April surgery buddies
Elfields84 replied to Relle2190's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved April 3. Am I the only one who was immediately put on stage 2 diet the day after surgery? Seems like everyone is on clear liquids except me. I actually havent tried eating anything beyond yogurt since coming home because I'm having a hard time with getting it in. I've only been able to drink 1 full bottle of water on 1 day. Today I'm trying to drink at least one full protein shake and 2 waters throughout the day Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app -
Neil, 3 months out with a 62 pound loss! That's amazing! Being a vegetarian in America will definitely be much easier than in India. There is a larger variety of Protein options available to you. Natural, low fat cheeses, greek yogurt, low fat milk, powdered Peanut Butter, protein powders, nuts, and soy products. All these items are staples you should have in your house, to provide yourself with daily variety! I'm in California. Good luck to you!

You know guys I have to admit our house seems to be full of **** lately it's like everyone here is going through a junk food stage.. I'm going to crack down on the crap. Hope they don't pull a mutiny on my ass Everyone in my house is fit.. As a matter of fact my husband and son must consume large amount of food or they lose weight But I've had to contend with bags of chips and all three of them eating them the last couple of weeks. So today I got away from the house, I went to the fish store to buy saltwater and flirt with the young boys that work there! Hehe my favorite past time, My husband always teases me by saying "do you want me to go too" knowing I'm going to say hell no! I stopped at the store and bought some smarter snacking options ( plain Greek yogurt anyone) I am going back to basics and I'm detoxing starting now. I can not do "moderation" and "I'm not going to treat this like a diet" That does not work for ME I am a person with food issues, call it what you want but it made me fat, and I'm tired of not living life fully.

Omg, I thought I was going crazy cuz I can't handle the protein shakes either...they make me so sick and so does the unflavored unjury I have to remind myself to eat, yet I could chug juice and Water all day. I've been eating Greek yogurt, but that's not enough protein unfortunately. What has your dr said?

@@tacycakes My doctors NUT has us not take any lactose products for the first 6 weeks. Only yogurt because it is easily tolerated. I am on skim Lactaid. It tastes great and I can't tell the difference when I mix it with my Unjury vanilla powder. I was also told your lactose intolerance will resolve itself once all your stomach enzymes stabilize however some become lactose intolerant. I pretty much think I will because I was borderline before anyway and both my mother and her mother are.

Hey professionals (or anyone working full-time)
samuelsmom replied to pindoctor's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi there- I have exactly the same schedule and a teenage daughter! After the 2 weeks you will probably be on puree foods. I kept it simple by using pre-made shakes, greek yogurt, scrambled eggs, and homemade bean or lentil type of Soups that I could smash up really good since I had no desire to puree anything. Considering that I was not hungry at all it was very easy. It has gotten much harder since I have been on solid food. What works best for me is having a shake or egg for Breakfast, Soup from the cafeteria at work, a cheese stick, greek yogurt or Protein bar for a snack, and then dinner after I get home. I just don't have the time or interest to pack a full lunch so this is easy! By 2 weeks out I felt pretty good. I did work a couple of day at home which helped. -
Any type of fish, chicken breast with fat free gravy, cream of mushroom soup or low sugar BBQ sauce, cottage cheese, yogurt, cooked carrots, ground beef with fat free beef gravy & mushrooms.

PROTEIN HELP PLEASE!
KittyKat848 replied to drobinson1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I make hummus at least once a week. For dippers, I buy Kraft Deli Deluxe cheese (yes, it matters) and cut a slice into 9 even squares. Then I arrange them into a circle on parchment paper in my microwave. Cook on high for 45 seconds. Viola. Little crunchy cheese crackers. 80 calories, >1 carb and 5 grams of Protein. I also use "Just Great Stuff" powdered organic Peanut Butter powder. It isn't unnatural -- it's made with organic peanuts, organic coconut sugar and sea salt. It has 45 calories in 2 TBs and only 1.5 grams of fat. It has 5 g of carbs (1 is fiber) -- so it'd be hard to make you dump. It also has 4 grams of protein. I mix 1 T with a 1/4 of PLAIN greek yogurt. It is delicious. Greek yogurt has about 22 grams of protein per cup -- so about 6 grams in my 1/4 cup. This can be eaten plain or you can use it as a very healthy dip --- my son loves to eat it on apple slices. -
On my 5th week now and I feel like I'm able to eat more than most people at one sitting. I can eat a whole one of those weight control oatmeal packs for breakfast without a problem. I can also eat one of those light & fit Greek yogurts easily as well. I can eat about 4 grilled shrimp and 3 asparagus for dinner and be comfortably full. Maybe the oatmeal and yogurt just pass through easily, but when I hear people say, I had three bites and I'm stuffed" it makes me question things a bit. I'm eating 700-800 calories a day & doing the elliptical trainer 30 minutes each day... Losing very slowly lately- maybe adding 100 calories will help? Anyone eating protein bars at 5-6 weeks out?

Help! Protein is killing me!
georgiabelle replied to rhondafranklin03's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I bought some unflavored Protein powder and have been adding it to SF pudding. The light & fit vanilla greek yogurt is pretty good and has 12 g. protein. I also found some liquid Protein shots at Walmart yesterday. http://www.walmart.com/ip/New-Whey-Grape-Liquid-Protein-42g-3.8-fl-oz-6-count/22410444 They are REALLY sweet, so I dilute it with Water and use it like Crystal Light. -
New Food For Post Ops...
gillumd replied to lovelygirl01's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Before my surgery I would only have protein shake for breakfast or protein bar, early snack yogurt fat free with fruit,lunch protein shake or protein bar,mid day snack which yogurt fat free with fruit ( fruit had to be size of tennis ball). Dinner 3oz of meat any unlimited vegetables but no starchy vegetables. And if I got hungry at nite I could have any vegetables that were not starchy or fruit. And of course I could not put any butter or any fat to season food.
