Just had my pre-op appt y'all, and after spending a decent amount of time reading all the wonderful info on this board, I'm feeling concerned/confused. I'm being banded next Thursday at Northwest Weight Loss Surgery in Everett, WA and we reviewed the post-op diet. I want to be succesful. I will follow what they tell me to do. BUT... ...they have recently revised their post-op to be: 1 week full liquids (which includes applesauce, yogurt, pudding), followed by 1 week of mushies (soft fish, scrambled eggs), then on to more solid foods. First fill at 4 weeks. I fully understand the need to have the band heal and settle in place. I'm seriously thinking of extending my phases to have an extra week of liquids and an extra week of mushies. I'll be damned if I move through things to fast just to cause issues down the road. Am I nuts??

I just had a horrible PB/ slime experience today. I was starving and I stopped and got a small chicken cheese steak, planning to only eat half. Needless to say I only made it past 3 bites and I experienced pain so bad I thought I was in labor again! I had to pull over 3 times while drive and the whole episode lasted about an hour and 15 min. I thought about going to the ER, or driving straight to my doctor's office. I made it home and I had to use a popsicle stick to gag myself causing some mucous and who knows what else to come up. I still feel like I am physically drained from the whole thing and I feel sore on my left side where the band is. I think the thing I need to keep in mind is I should have had a nice yogurt and string cheese for lunch and this wold not have happened. I am interested to hear about other experiences like this and what you can do to make it better. I NEVER want to go through that again......

Vitamin and Protein Brands ???
Martinichic replied to A.Better.Me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
SInce I cant eat much ,I at least get my vitamins in with my yogurt that has high protein. Also I get my vitamins from Bariativ and they come right to your door I couldn't do the chewables after about 6 weeks so they sent me the capsule .I just crush them up and put them in something. -
I can have Greek yogurt & cottage cheese next week. As well as fruit or veggie smoothies [emoji4] Never thought I’d be so excited about yogurt lmao
-
The first thing I ate on purees was Greek yogurt with almond butter (breakfast) then pureed tuna salad (lunch) then ricotta bake (dinner). As you can see, each meal had more than one ingredient! No type of food ever gave me trouble. The important thing was to keep portions small (1.5 ounce max) and eat slowly with small bites. Good luck!

So nice to hear from other July sleevers. I had my surgery on July 1. I have only lost 6 pounds since then and am feeling frightened. But on the other hand I have lost 25 since the first of June. I am having trouble getting my protein shakes down and have switched to premade ones and find them easier. I am still so worried to start " real food". I am and emotional eater and need to deal with the reasons I over eat. I move on to puree on Wednesday and bought baby food and yogurt. Anyone have any other suggestions? Congratulations to all of you have started this brave new journey.

Canker sores and ulcers in the mouth can be caused from bacteria changes from diet change. I would when possible seek out active culture yogurts. Activa or any that say Active bacteria culture -

I guess it's different for everyone, I'm on the purreed stage (starting the 4th week today, Yay!) I can get down only half of 1 scrambled egg with salmon purée even it's very tasty but I really cannot. I eat very slowly with a teaspoon, chew well and wait a little after swallowing to see if it already filled in the stomach and stop at that point. I practically can eat greek yogurt with purée fruit or scrambled egg in the amount of 2 full tablespoons. On the aother hand I can easily eat around 1/2 cup of liquid soup. I don't think the spasm thing is a good sign, maybe you should try to eat smaller bite and slower and drink water a little bit at a time. See if ithe stomach will agree with you. -

It gets easier to get the protein in, I can still only do premade shakes, and add unflavored isopure to everything I can pudding, yogurt, tomato soup . . . It is available on Amazon and 26 grams pure spoonful. Hope that helps. -

Ok everyone. ..I am pushing abit on the stage 3..I am 2 wks out..I took a test run yesterday with a lil chicken salad..I didn't puree it the sound of that grossed me out..so I took baby bites an chewed the scrap out of it. I got the hiccups 2 times yesterday not just from food but also fluids..I am really getting tired an starting to put my nose up at protein drinks..dying for a crunch..so I picked up a bag of organic veggie type chip stix an had a few I wanted crunch so bad I was hunting all over the kitchen for something. Had no sharp pains. Just felt guilty..my hubs seen the bag an took it he said he's guarding it..lol..I just needed a crunch!!! I'm getting sick of liquid. .I have had some yogurt. ..I think the unflavor whey protein I'm adding is getting to me. There's a certain smell an yes even a tad flavor. .can I get some input on wat others favs are brands that everyone's found they really like or is everyone getting in the same boat as far as gagging it down an living with it? Getting desperate here. I made home made tortilla soup yesterday it was cloudy raining an only about 70 out sounded good so I did I drank the broth of it was good...I can still only get up to 2 an 3 oz in still at a time...my tummy growls all day..I swear I'm putting something in mouth every hr or 2...an suggestions? ? I am using chike protein for coffee an flavored beverages. ..I'm gagging now the unflavor powder for adding in soups an yogurt. I still smell it an taste it... -
I eat yogurt daily and it regulates my bowel movement. If I'm feeling constipated, I double my daily yogurt intake. I remembered I was constipated on the first week though. The doctor advised me to buy Dulcolax. It does get better though.

first of all, yes, being really nervous before surgeries is pretty normal. secondly, if you can lose the weight on your own, then go for it. Up to about 5% of people are able to lose their excess weight and keep it off long term. I, unfortunately, was not one of the 5%. I had surgery at age 55, after literally decades of losing and regaining the same 50 lbs. Same story every time - I'd lose it, hit a brick wall, and then it'd eventually all come back on - within a few months. I finally got to the point where I had to stop kidding myself. I couldn't even keep 50 lbs off, and I had over 200 to lose! So for me, surgery was really my only choice. Maybe you'll be one those who'll be able to do it and keep it off. There are some out there. And btw - surgery doesn't guarantee you'll be able to lose most or all of your excess weight and keep it off - but it greatly improves your odds. not sure what to tell you about protein. I only eat meat a couple of times a week, but I do eat a lot of dairy (including yogurt and cottage cheese). I also add protein powder to some things. In addition, I still drink protein shakes, at five years out, because they help me get up to my protein goals (most people don't need them after the first few weeks or months - but I have to have 100+ grams a day to keep my prealbumin level up, and a protein shake a day really helps me get there) you do have to be mentally ready for this, because the surgery only does so much. It's a lot of work, esp after the first few months. But the difference is, your efforts actually pay off. I was able to lose - and maintain - and enormous amount of weight, which I'd never been able to do before.

Okay I'm back home surgery went pretty well they ended up taking my gallbladder because I found a small polyp in it. Painless pretty intense the first day at the surgery and then it hit its peak at 3 a.m. I guess technically the morning after the surgery it was really bad. I had severe shortness of breath and my heart was all over the place so they ended up ordering at CAT scan of my chest and ultrasounds of my legs to look for blood clots and then an upper GI to make sure everything was in order. I'm glad to say that all of those tests came back normal and my shortness of breath is still here but obviously getting much better. They kept me in hospital for 2 days technically three because I wasn't released until 8 last night. The nurses were phenomenal at my hospital I felt very good and taking care of I walked a grand total of 50 laps around the nurses station and every time I went at least one nurse and look at how good your doing. When they release me my heart was still a little bit all over the place but the doctor felt confident that I'd be okay going home. So here I am I got up this morning and did walk the length of my house 8 times I had my first breakfast which was super runny yogurt took my Prilosec and crushed at my potassium and hid it in the yogurt. I also got to take the bandages off today and take a nice warm shower that I'm very tired after all the activity and will be in bed for the next hour to hour and a half. How did everybody else do you had surgery on the 9th 10th or 11th

EEK! I'm glad you are getting the sore throat thing taken care off! Don't wanna be sick on surgery day! I'll bet those boys keep you hopping! Its great that your parents can help you out with them and they get to spend quality time with them to boot! The pre-surgery diet is Glucerna (diabetic weight loss shakes), sugar free jello, sugar/fat free pudding and yogurt and broths.. I bought several flavors of the Isopure Zero Carb drinks for after surgery. Haven't tasted them yet, have you? I also ordered some of the Unjury Protein online. I tasted the chocolate.. its pretty good...

January bandsters our time is coming!!!
picklehead replied to KawasakiChick's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Surgery is January 7th. So VERY close. Kind of nervous. And definitely HUNGRY. Have been on 10 day pre-op diet. First 7 days was yogurt, cottage cheese, protein shakes and clear fluids. Starting this morning the next 3 days are all just clear fluids. Who thought I could ever miss cottage cheese so much. Anyway, just wanted to say HI. Hope you all have a great experience this month. Take Care! -
*Susan* revision from band to sleeve
MacMadame replied to *susan*'s topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Full liquids includes things like yogurt and FAGE yogurt is high in protein. I had a lot of special "bariatric" foods for that time including protein soups. Or you can add protein to your soups. What's the name of the unflavored protein powder you are using? -

February 2016 sleevers?
Amelie2016 replied to NYGirlxo's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Me too! though I'm here until Sunday. The mentioned I shoild try drinking water today (I had my leak test) and that they'd try me on some thin yogurt drink thing tonight, but no drink. Given that I've been zipping water and it still kind of hurts I'm glad though. I'm home now! They started me on this 15g protein shake - it was fruity and actually good. Plus broth, jello and Popsicles. I had to focus on the shakes yesterday and got two in. Just drank one on the 1.5 drive from San Francisco to Sacramento. Taking a break and will just sip water. This afternoon ill try to drink a premier protein shake. It has 30g of protein in it so if I can't get anymore after that im OK. Hope they get you your yogurt drink soon. Does it hurt when water goes down or your whole stomach? yay I found this thread again! -
I am a super picky, finicky, whiny eater who hated everything already, and it only got worse after surgery. These are some of the things I do to get protein: Fairlife milk (lactose/sugar filtered out, protein/calcium added) mixed with diet hot cocoa mix or sugar free strawberry syrup String cheese Small amounts of vanilla Protein powder mixed with sugarfree vanilla pudding cottage cheese mixed with a tiny amount of tomato sauce (tastes like pasta/lasagna) plain greek yogurt mixed with sugar free strawberry syrup so it tastes more like regular strawberry yogurt rather than that bitter/sour flavor Now that I've been cleared for normal foods again, it honestly isn't changing much since I can't tolerate dense meats and Proteins. I have however bought my first pack of low-carb, high protein chips/pretzels/cereal (10g protein per pack), which I'll try and pack with me when I'm at school/work so I don't completely starve myself. It sucks when your tolerance for most things are low, you've just gotta find things that work for you.

My wife and I both got sleeved on 5/29 with Dr. Garcia in Tijuana. We have both lost around 30lbs. We are able to eat almost anything except dense meats (pork chops/steak/dry chicken). But we mostly eat greek yogurt/grilled chix breast/protein shakes. Neither of us can eat more than a cup of food at a time, usually half a cup or less. We are going to start our gym membership next week.

What Is Your Beverage of Choice?
emardee replied to Alex Brecher's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Plain Water, but has to be ice cold. I throw a couple of half-filled bottles in the freezer every day, then top them off with filtered water from the frige door when I'm ready to drink it. I have a bottle next to me or with me when I'm out and about. I'll have an occasional Cappuccino (maybe twice a week) with skim milk. Pre-workouts, I throw some Fairlife skim milk (ultra filtered, high Protein, very clean taste) in the blender with a few tablespoons of Greek yogurt, a few drops of coconut or vanilla extract, a few ice cubes and either a single frozen strawberry or a few slices of banana. -
I really like my new Nutribullet. It comes with blades that fit on the cup, not in the blender. You remove the blades and put a handle on teh cup for drinking. I am drinking my smoothy, now, yogurt, strawberries, bananna and flax seeds. Yummy!Karen..aka..kll724
