Did they really take half my tummy?
NoMoreWeightNJ replied to sparkles1971's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Pudding and yogurt are full liquids. -
I know exactly what you are talking about! I had been wondering why I could eat bread and other things when everyone said they couldn't. Well, after my last fill, I'm always trying to find something I CAN eat. Chicken just doesn't work at all anymore. Neither does beef unless it's shredded and I'm very loose. So sick of yogurt and cottage cheese. Haven't found a really good protein mixture, but still trying. Have just seen a few suggestions, but keep them coming! Getting frustrated!

Is this normal?
MississippiGirl replied to Bobbie0918's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It is very difficult for me to get solids down in the A.M. I usually am running late and don't have time to fix a meal so I drink those small activia yogurt drinks in the morning. Sometimes it takes me over an hour to get it down. -

Before I had a fill I ate about a Tablespoon of peanut butter or I would mix a small amount of the peanut butter with a flavored yogurt (Raspberry Chobani) and it was like peanut butter and jelly in a cup. -
Started at 233 DOS 8/30 & down to 210 for total loss of 23 lbs...of course 10 of that at least is water weight but I feel great anyway! Those who I've talked to say they hit there goals anywhere between 8 to 12 months do dropping 23 in 2 1/2 weeks is well on my way to total goal of losing 83 lbs...now I only have 60 to go. Woo hoo! Still on purée but not getting down much been busy & forgetting to eat or drink (which I NEVER would have forgotten to eat before lol) I don't notice till I start feeling weak or get dry mouth...sick of protein shakes yuck. Yesterday I had a yogurt & glass of water & a flintstone vitamin. Thinking of getting a juicer & getting a good portion of my nutrition that way. Gonna try scrambled eggs this next week...sounds really good to me Don't want my hair to fall out

Had my sleeve on August 28th. I lost 10 pounds from my five day liquid diet. As of today I have lost a total of 27 pounds. I am very happy so far. My diet is soft foods, but have no problems with tender chicken, cheese, beans, Greek yogurt, shrimp, eggs. Glad I got "sleeved"! Good luck everyone.

hope it's ok for me to jump in here too? I was sleeved December 2011 loosing 10 lbs a month is average/normal/good some people et al will loose more weight, or less. Never, ever, ever or ever compare yourself to other OP. Won't hep you, and might make you sad or disappointed try eating 6 small meals daily - ie shake, yogurt, etc. You MUST measure all food/liquids!! whatever your NUT tells you to eat any time period (2-3 ounces etc.) follow her directions ONLY.. if you are ge tting full, s top ea ting. my doc told me "to eat til i'm full, then stop 2 bites earlier80% refers to eating less calories, and about 20% exercise. Exercise is great for your spirits and metabolism (msp) tracking ALL your food is great/important (most OP use MFP) My Fitness Pal. you work with the sleeve, and it will work with you!! good luck to all i know you can do it kathy

My check up he said i could start eatting small bites of any meat just chew very well. Ive had zero complications no sickness and 6 weeks out today and lost 62 lbs. So dont be afraid to eat little things just small bites, chew ALOT, and most importantly dont over eat Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Lunch- I piece of tilapia 19 grams of protein. Snack 100 cal greek yogurt vanilla 13 grams of protein. dinner 4-5 oz turkey or chicken or a piece of fish. Daily work out: not enough but usually 3 days a week. 1 hr on the tread mill at about 3mph then I work on strength training on either arms legs or stomach for about 30 minutes How hungery are you?: not very, mostly head hunger. When I'm not busy I tend to want to reach for food How you feel physically: better then I have in a long time. How you feel emotionally:torn, somedays are really good and others I want to eat like I used to or I want the weight to come off faster. Its crazy. Are you glad you chose the sleeve?:I'm glad I chose the sleeve Anything extra to say?: I often wonder if I will be one of the people that stop loosing weight after I have dropped 50 pounds and I always worry that I will be one of the people that gains my weight back. -
Nov 14 Sleevers?
Fallenangel2904 replied to Soli3l's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I tried something tonight for a little extra Protein because the shakes are just revolting to me. I haven't even been drinking them that long ugh Anyway I read this on here and it was a great idea! 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt 1/4 cup of FF milk Squirt of MIO. I used orange tangerine. And OMG it was good, tolerable and tasted like an orange creamcicle! It was 7 grams of protein I believe. Not bad! -
9 Days Post OP-First Appt with Doc
kermit_ojp replied to kermit_ojp's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Right now I'm doing an hour of cardio a day. When I started it on the 30th, I was only able to walk about 2.25 miles in that amount of time. Now I'm almost to 3 miles in that hour. I'm only doing the treadmill right now. I tried the elliptical for 10 minutes, and couldn't handle it...stomach cramps, etc. As soon as I'm cleared, I will add weights to the workout. Arms twice a week and legs twice a week. I know it's so hard to get everything in. I hear those protein bullets are good to use. Have you tried those? When were you sleeved again, the 31st? I feel so much better now that I'm off liquids. So much more energy. Right now, I'm trying to only weigh once a week...but weighed this morning and it's only moved down 4 ounces. I did do a food transition over the weekend, and did not work out 4 days last week due to low energy, so I'm that worried about it. Good luck finding some more protein. The greek yogurt is pretty good. -
Not sure if you have Vitamin Shoppe where you are, but I have been buying "Carlson's" brand of liquid Omega-3, its lemon flavored. I do not like taking it alone but have been mixing in a berry flavored yogurt and its not bad.

Well that's a positive thing in my opinion ... now if I can look at Golden Spoon Frozen Yogurt and feel that way ... I'll be happy too ... and keep my taste for dark chocolate.

Nectar Caribbean Cooler...yes!

I love the fuzzy navel, but then again, I flavored mine with some additional items...I first took 1 bag of frozen raspberries and 1 bag of frozen strawberries, allowed them to thaw, and put them through a food processor. I strained out all the pulp and seeds, and then froze the juice into 2" silicone ice cube trays. the silicone makes them very easy to pop out. For my Protein drink, I used one frozen 2" cube of raspberry-strawberry juice, a handful of regular ice cubes, 1 cup of Light and Fit vanilla Yogurt, 1 cup of soy milk, and a small packet ( 1-qt size drink mix) of Crystal Light in either Pomegranate-Cherry, or Fruit Punch flavors (just the mix, no additional water). I put this through my smoothie blender, and have my taste buds dancing! It makes a lot, but with little sips, I'm satisfied for a hour or two. This helps to meet my hydration requirements of 64 oz a day, and puts a nice dent in my protein requirements too. I ran this recipe by my Dr, & she had no problem with me having this Post-VSG surgery & I'm only 1 week out. Enjoy everyone! ???? -
New discoveries this week since I have been doing the 2 week liquid diet. 1) I don't like GNC's vanilla whey Protein - too much of a weird whey/protein taste/after taste/smell 2) unjury chocolate Power is better but still not my favorite 3) The Nutribullet does wonders to mix the protein better (with ice) better than a shaker bottle 4) The Unjury chicken Soup is barely passable by itself (I never like Chick broth anyway) but I am looking forward to mixing with instant potatoes and fat free refried Beans 5) Cytosport Monster Milk (Chocolate) IS MY MOST FAVORITE WAY TO GET IN PROTEIN (warning: it's wicked expense, most because I buy it premixed in the bottles, which I think also helps dull any protein taste.) 6) I have a new respect for Jello and greek yogurt.

I have one that's organic and good on all counts as fat as nutritional value! I just started eating solid food yesterday so I will wait awhile, but I just love Greek yogurt with granola! Things with the real food are going great! Just had some hummus with a few whole wheat crackers and it was heaven! So nice to chew again!!

March Sleevers..are You Happy W/your Progress?
danyelleb replied to DDFinn's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thanks for posting canadianprairiega! I haven't tried oatmeal or salad yet. My diet thus far is still pretty bland. I have egg whites and sausage for breakfast, cheese stick for snack, chili for lunch, Greek yogurt for snack, and some sort of Protein for dinner. It feels like I'm losing slowly and suddenly I have a major sense of urgency to see the scale move. I had my one month post op last week. The doc gave me a goal of 154 within the next five months. Honestly I sat there and giggled in disbelief when he set that goal. He assured me that I could do it, but I can't even picture myself at that weight. It seems so unreal. So, now I'm using MFP and exercising. Hopefully the scale will move. My current stats- presurgery 235, surgery weight 212, current weight 191. -
I too got sick of eggs so now I only have them once or twice a week. I also have protein bars, cottage cheese, Fat Free greek yogurt with sugar free jam in it, Tuna salad, Chicken Salad, I have even had lean cuisine meals for breakfast. Anything to break up the monotony.

I know everyone is different, but I think the first couple of days were the hardest. I had a headache and I felt dizzy and I was starving! haha I am now 8 days complete and it doesn't seem near as bad. I dont know what your pre op diet consists of. Mine is basically 2 high protein meal replacement shakes, a piece of fruit and a yogurt during the day and then for dinner I get to splurge with 4 oz of lean meat and 2 slices of low cal bread plus 1 cup of veggies. I think my pre op diet is a little more liberal then some but I find it very doable! I find sipping on hot tea helps curb my hunger too. Keep strong! It will be worth it!

Thanks phatkatblue...my dr requires first five days of clear liquids..no soups or anything..then two weeks of just three protein shakes a day and clear liquids..again no soup broth yogurt...i start mushies for dinner only on may 7th

What pre op diet are you on or going to start?
Hunter replied to deitress1's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I could have protein shakes and cream soups yogurt........ I also had 5 of the best French fries ever made at day 10 of 14 LOL but that's not recommended. -
The issue is that space in my tummy is valuable real estate now and it seems to be an all Protein neighborhood! I picked up some vegan Protein shakes today which ima try to sandwich my day with so I can at least fill one meal with veggies. I'm a vegetarian and the whey protein, cheese, yogurt, eggs and tofu diet is starting to make me sick! I'm only 2.5 months out.

Surgery date November 10th... Anyone else?
topazz replied to Sha'sJourney's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am on the 11th. I am supposed to do a 7 day pre op liquid diet, but I am starting mine Nov 1 to get a little hopefully get a little more weight off. The day before surgery is complete Clear Liquids, like broth, Jello, Water. I have a liquid diet, that includes shakes but can consist of very soft foods like yogurt, pudding, Soups, like Healthy Choice, etc. My docs office has a nutritionist there that we are required to meet with. She created a menu for me for the pre-op, post-op, and all the transition diets. I will do my very best to follow these to avoid problems.
