I've been using milk, but I didn't read the directions...so tiny and hard to see (even with reading glasses). Are you supposed to use Water???? I'm just starting my 3rd week post banding and I am too tight to eat in the morning, so I'm doing the Isopure then. I know you have to do 4 scoops in a day to get the daily allowance of Protein, however, I haven't been super careful about that at this point. I planned to really track protein beginning this week. Tonight I had a cup of yogurt mixed with 1 scoop of Isopure. P.S. Wow...I just read the part of the label I could see and was surprised to see 2 scoops does equal 50g (100& of daily allowance). The other powder I bought only has 25g for 2 scoops. Great! So we can either chug it down all at once in a single drink or I think I will do 1 scoop in the morning and 1 in the evening when I start to feel extra hungry. Does it taste okay in water?? I just ordered some of the packets too....perfect for work.

I Want My Band Removed Now!!!!!
austinglobe replied to yazmarrero85's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I've had a lot of challenges with the band, but I think I can offer you some support. I think what you are experiencing is normal. RIght after my surgery, I could not eat more than 1 6oz yogurt and it took me all day to eat it. I got through it by drinking apple juice mixed with water. By the end of my first month, I could eat exactly the same way I did pre-banded. I had no restriction at all after the swelling went down. I hope you start feeling better soon. -
Sue's whiny post about overprotective doctors.
Doula Lea replied to GeezerSue's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
JLHoogland and Bright, You both have just made me feel SO much better! I am 6 days out from banding and am so ready for mushy food. Bright, I saw that you were having mashed potatoes and tuna salad and I almost wanted to cry! I am STARVING here! I have finally given in and started to have creamed Soups and drinkable yogurts which have made a world of difference, but this clear liquid thing is just such crap! I am salivating thinking about a scrambled egg already! I am slowly going to start trying the mushy foods, but I am concerned that I don't do anything to hurt the band. Thank you for helping to empower me! ~Lea 11/8 Dr. Sanchez 253/249/219 mini goal (less then my hubby) -
As the topic says.. I was banded on Feb.12th and so far i've been drinking Protein shakes, sf popsicles, Water and crystal light, That's all. I did have chicken broth in the hospital but it made me sick! maybe it was the brand.. or because the morphine had me very ill.. I dunno, I am not a fan of broth anyways. I received a packet explaining food to have on stage 3 such as - whipped cottage cheese, 1% milk, campbell tomatoe Soup, applesauce unsweetened, sf Jello, yogurt, oatmeal....etc. It doesn't say anything about pudding, can we have that?? I think i'm getting sick of these Protein drinks already! Does anyone eat those things ^^^ too, while on 3? How long does the Mushies stage last? And what are some of the basic foods you eat while on there? TIA! :hungry:

4 weeks out - what are you eating?
citygirl4616 replied to abutterfly's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I introduced real food back into my diet, I had a few staples that really worked well. Just remember to chew thouroughly! 1 - Grilled or blacked chicken or salmon salads with lots of veggies, dressing on the side 2 - Any light, flakey fish..grilled 3 - Baked potatoes with cottage cheese 4 - Greek yogurt with sliced banana 5 - Hummus with veggies on the side 6 - Tuna salad, egg salad served on cucumber slices 7 - Cottage cheese pancakes 8 - Guacamole with veggies to dip 9 - Soy crisps, cheese crisps All make yourself to control the amount of fat and Protein. If you are dining out, you can find most of these meals, just adapt the order as much as possible, and plan on bringing AT LEAST half the portion home. -
I am on my 3rd day post op and at this stage have no desire to chew.I am even finding it hard to drink some of the liquids. Not because they are difficult to get down , there is no problem there, I'm just not really hungry yet. I can't even drink a full cup of tea and if you knew me then you would realise that is amazing as i am a complete and utter teapot. Just got my breakfast. Half a glass of drinking yogurt and so far all I have managed is two sips. The rest can wait until later.

LeighaMason replied to lovinlife4eva's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Can you eat tuna? A can of tuna in Water is 100 calories. I eat them for a snack between meals when I am really hungry. Try this: Breakfast: 1 fried egg 92 cal. 1 piece of bacon 43 cal. 1 whole wheat bagel thin (on the bread isle) 110 cal. Snack: Greek yogurt 140 cal. Lunch: 1 can of tuna 100 cal 1 TBSP Miracle whip free 13 cal. 1/2 TBSP Pickle relish 10 cal. 8 snack crackers 121 cal. Snack: Apple 81 cal. Dinner: 4 oz baked whitefish 132 cal. 3 oz baked potato 79 cal. 1 TBS butter 36 cal. 1/2 cup steamed broccoli 27 cal. I hope this helps give you some fresh ideas. These things keep me full the longest. :sad: -
What do YOU eat in a typical day?
texaschick replied to JillianMarie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Jillian, I am right there with you. I am not as far out as you, I am 5 weeks, but I feel I can eat way more than most people are posting. food seems to go down a lot easier than most people talk about. I am on vacation, and yesterday I ate the following with no issue: B: 1/2 vanilla yogurt with sprinkle of granola, two 1 inch Water melon cubes, 1 serving spoonful of scrabled eggs L: 3 large shrimp, 1 bite mac& cheese (had to try it!) S: 2oz grilled chix; small triange of chees and 2 crackers; 1 half dollar size crocquette D: 2 1/2 inch crab cake few edamame 1 steamed dumpling (again, I had to try it: Emeril's Tchoup chop restaurant) I can eat a whole small Wendy's chili without too much problem, but I am super full afterwards. I can eat an entire slightly larger than palm sized chix breast (I have found that it definitely needs to be super moist though) 2 eggs poached or over easy, but not much else with them, I haven't tried beef yet and I haven't done any raw veggies yet. I am dissapointed somewhat, but actually kind of happy that I was able to eat semi-normal on vacation, and be part of the "group". I didn't feel left out or angry that they could eat things I couldn't. When they ordered the banana creme pie at Emeril's it didn't even bug me. I didn't want any. Same with the gelato sundaes every night (although I did have a small scoop of mango sorbet one night when I didn't have much for dinner. And I did have a scoop of hazelnut gelato once and very shortly after experienced my first bought of "dumping". Sweaty, nauseous, no throwing up, but close). I plan on doing the 5 day pouch test when I get back to kind of de-carb myself, but I am finding a few carbs more carbs make all the difference in my attitude. Helps with the constipation, and general overall mood. -
What do YOU eat in a typical day?
Catyroses replied to JillianMarie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am almost three months into this adventure. I have found several foods that are my new "staples." First of all, I tend to not have breakfast very often. But do have a cup of coffee with some sugar-free hazelnut creamer. Later I may have sliced turkey (one slice) or ham with a slice of swiss cheese (a very small slice) rolled up with a bit of mayo. It makes for a yummy lunch. I really can only do one slice if it's fresh from the deli as those slices are quite large. I also like to have some low-fat cottage cheese or a yogurt for lunch. For dinner, I may have a small bit of grilled meat, chicken or hamburger. I love Trader Joe's Chili Chicken Lime Burgers, but can't finish a whole one. (Thank goodness for my trusty dog, who helps me out quite a bit by finishing what I cannot eat.) I also like to have a few tablespoons of Wendy's chili with a dollop of low-fat sour cream on top. Or a very small piece of salmon baked with a bit of Polaner all-fruit (peach or apricot) on top. And I often take leftovers of this stuff to work with me the next day for lunch, though the servings sizes that I bring in make my co-workers chuckle. Last but not least, pork rinds for Snacks. Such a crunch satisfier. Hope this helps. -

LOL! I am doing good on this stage of the diet! No nausea at all!! What all can you have on the purée stage? When was your surgery again! I forgot! Lol! -
What If This Was All For Nothing?!
lovelygirl01 replied to the.new.cassie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi... Dont feel discouraged. I too feel the same exact way! Have had those same thoughts and keep thinking "what if i'm in that % where surgery doesnt work?". I bought a 2pz measuring cup and measure my foods, sometimes i feel i can eat a whole yogurt but stop myself. I too have tries unhealthy things to feel "normal". And it didnt hurt or kill me. But the guilt sets in and I walk it out. Hang in there! You'll get through -
Neck And Back Pain...did I Over Eat?
Cyndie B posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I may have ate a little too much...creamy soup about 2 oz., Smoothie Yogurt (4 oz.) and then I had some mushy zucchini..not all at the same time but probably within 30 minutes and all of a sudden the back of my neck and my upper back started hurting really bad...but I didn't feel stuck or anything. Does being stuck or eating too much come in different forms? I don't know it was just really strange...I'm 11 days post op... -
New Guy Otb 3 Days Po
MoodyJillyBean78 replied to springerboy05's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My dr had me add powdered milk to everything when I got to the full liquid stage to bump up the protein. 1 scoop in yogurt, pudding, soup, shakes too! As for water try room temp. But if your having discomfort it might be gas… so try walking more (down the hall 2-3x) before and after sipping. I didn't get all 64oz in for a couple of weeks. Way to go, your doing great! -
What do YOU eat in a typical day?
JillianMarie replied to JillianMarie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's been almost 2 months, I have been very confused as far as post op directions because my surgeon gave me the clear to eat solids at 5 weeks, and was very strict at first with his post-op directions, but it seemed to progress very quickly. There aren't any local nutritionists that have experience with the sleeve, i have checked into it. I have even checked with the local weight loss surgery centers, and they only perform gastric bypass and lap-band, they have yet to perform the sleeve. I went to two different gastroenterologists seeking their opinions and looking for post- surgery follow up care, and they didn't really understand what I was there for. They said i was fine, and that I should be okay to eat what I am comfortable with eating, and that my stomach will let me know if i have trouble with any foods. One doctor told me to take new foods slow and cautiously, but at 5 weeks to introduce them in small amounts and that I should be okay with them and that the major healing has probably already occurred and my risk for leaks would be very low by that point. At this point the only foods that i have problems with are green Beans, and acidic foods or high fat foods (with the exception of Peanut Butter, it seems to be the only high fat food that agrees well with me AND keeps me full for most of the day). At times I wish i had used a different surgeon whom I would have follow up care with and had better outlines of everything from the start. I have been told different things by everyone. I can always go back to my "safe foods"- yogurt, smoothies, applesauce, and Protein shakes, and try to pass a few more weeks or a month by to give more healing time, as long as I keep myself busy I can distract myself from thinking about eating other foods. I seem to have a fairly high metabolism, after surgery i consumed quite a bit more than most people in the way of calories (around 900 a day through protein shakes) and still lost pretty fast. If I can aim at about 1200-1400 a day, I can slowly get to my goal, then maintain at around 1800-2000/day. -
Full Liquid Diet - What Can I Eat?
Stacey Nicole posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am on the full liquid diet now. My dietician gave me a list of 5 things I can have. Most before surgery were great, but with the change in my stomach I can't eat them all now. Her list is skim milk, strained soups made with skim milk, sugar and fat free pudding or yogurt, protein supplements, and no ice cream. So wait.....that's really only 3 things. Please help me!!!! What was or is your favorite thing to eat on the full liquid diet???? I'm going crazy! -
What keeps everyone more satisfied?
*~NewBeginnings2013~* replied to Julie121212's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Especilkay at the end of my night shift, around 5 am, I do 1/2cup vanilla bean geek yogurt with 1/2 shop of vanilla protein shake powder. Turns the 10 ish gm protein breakfast into a 23g breakfast. To stir it up, I add low fat granola, raisins, and slivered almonds (all totaling about 2Tbs). Pretty yummy!!! This lasts me at least until i wake up later I'm the day and often I'm not hungry when I wake up. -
I made mashed potato with broth and greek yogurt (for protein). Then, I pureed minced onions with the mashed potatoes and more broth, and it was yummy.

You two sound like this failed and you're only a Lil bit out after surgery. When was the last time a yogurt took u 10 min to eat? Never! Get up and out and excercise!!! This isn't a miracle it's a tool so use it right! -
Hello everyone, I was sleeved on June 22, 2017 today my weight is 145.2, yesterday was my 1 year follow up apt with my surgeon weighing in at 146.6 I'm holding steady between 145 & 146 for the past month but i feel great just trying to enjoy my summer. I still drink my premier protein in the morning and afternoon anything else has to have a least 5 g of protein per for me to even consider to put in my mouth. I still have a hard time eating chicken, eggs no fruit and very little vegetables and i get sick if try to eat any type of cake or ice cream and yogurt i love as long as the sugar content is lower than 10 g. I have cut out all refind sugar and the carbs i eat if it's included with my protein which i try to keep no more than 50 g or less. Exercise 30 minutes a day walking and cardio 1 hour 3 to 4 time a week,

You seem to be doing great , I am on day 6 and not really eating to much at all . Spoonful of yogurt here and there . I could not agree more with you about the planning around food . The past week has been really different from previous Friday night dinner out at our fav Italian restraunt.

I'm not sure how far you are past surgery, so some of these may not apply to you depending on your dietary guidelines. Skim milk with powdered milk added to it for extra Protein. Yogurt Scrambled eggs Cottage cheese Cream Soups with powered milk added

Vets: foods you personally can't tolerate?
septappt replied to NMJG's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Chicken anything! Chicken is not my friend ! I can pretty much eat anything but I tend to stick with a chosen few foods that I constantly eat alllllllll the time. Chili, egg salad, tomato soup, quest bars, deli turkey, any kind of cheese and Greek yogurt ! Not much variety but keeps me within my limits
