In need of some encouragemet
Djmohr replied to Elyse519's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@Elyse519 I am so sorry you are having a rough time. How are you going on liquids? The reason I ask is that if you are even slightly dehydrated you will feel like crap. Weak, tired, dizzy and nauseous are all symptoms of dehydration. chicken can be rough for some to eat until they are a bit further out. In fact I got the same feeling you describe when trying to eat pureed meat of any kind. I tried ground chicken, ground turkey, tuna, ground beef. I literally would gag and gag. So, I went back to Greek yogurt, Protein shakes, cottage cheese, sf pudding, creamed Soups and the full liquid diet until the pureed stage was done. For me, that was 4 weeks post op. I felt better almost immediately which told me I just needed to go slower. At 4 weeks I was cleared to do soft moist foods like chicken, fish, ground meats, veggies cooked well. I had to go slow and try one thing at a time. I will never forget the day I made my first very juicy chicken breast and a teaspoon of sweet potato. I swore I never tasted anything so good before. LOL. Then for about another 6 weeks there were days when chicken worked and days when it didn't. When it did it had to be good and moist. Don't over cook it. Try drinking more fluids and don't worry so much about the pureed meats for now. I bet you will start feeling better. Of course contact your nut to validate but that is what mine told me to do and it worked. -
Week 3 - purée stage - how do u know when to stop ?
LowBMISleever replied to pnt38's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My plan says 1oz portions. I'm not supposed to start puree until tomorrow, but I tried a tiny bit of fat-free cottage cheese just now because well I'm a bad person, lol. 1 oz of cottage cheese was a joke. I felt no restriction. I could've easily eaten the entire 4oz container, just like I can down 4oz of drinkable yogurt. I imagine and hope pureed meat will go down differently. Hopefully I'll feel some restriction. 1 oz just seems insanely low. How am I supposed to get my Protein in? Eat 20 1oz portions a day?! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Hey sisters. Just got back from my post op appointment. It went great. I am 8 lbs down. He said the weight loss should pick up around 3 weeks post surgery because during thenfirst 3 weeks ur body is focused on healing after major surgery. After that time it kicks into gear on weight loss. Yayy. And i get to start my oureed diet. Im SO EXCITED!!!!!! so glad everyones doing great. Picked up my vitamins. He said i can take them as tolerated now and ease into the amt i need. One thing i need to do is stay off the scale three times a day lol. Im gonna try to weight once or twice a week. We will see if i can actually do that. Hahaha. He said during my sirgery they really contemplated just removing my lap band and doing sleeve in a later surgery due to it had slipped, caused a hernia he had to repair. But they ouffed up my stomach after and it looked great so they proceeded. Omg inwould have been soooo upset if they hadnt sleeved me. I know its for my own good but inselfishly want to get the show on the road and get rid of this big ol butt. Lol. Have a great week yall. Im gonna eat me some yogurt. Lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi guys, I'm now 8 days into my pre-op liver reduction diet. I eat an average of 5 low fat yogurts a day and 2litres of Water. I've LOST 25lb already in just 8 days. Is there anything wrong in losing too quickly? What has everyone else's losses been like on the pre op diet? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I would agree that saying you are on a high Protein diet is a good excuse. I doubt you will have to tell anyone other than the waiter. I do a lot of events, and people's dietary issues make it something that most menus can accommodate. If you happen to luck out because of over-dressed pre-plated items, soup is a good alternative or just eat the protein on your plate. Breakfast I would look for yogurt.

Might want to check with the surgeon, but I think the decaf might be a no go, only because of the acid. Not sure, it is a question, not an absolute, but worth checking on. I just like chocolate no sugar powder from GNC, I'll put in some vanilla yogurt and some Peanut Butter powder. I started adding coffee after week 6.

I wouldn't worry as much about stretching as I would about damaging your healing sleeve. Everyone's plan is different, and I would definitely suggest you stick to your surgeon's plan. Having said that, my plan allowed for *some* soft foods immediately after surgery. Things that could easily slide through a funnel such as broth (obviously), perhaps sugar free Jello or popsicles, and a bite of yogurt or some runny scrambled egg, but only a bite or two is what we were told and you must chew it extremely well....but again, that was MY plan. You should really check with your NUT/Surgeon before going off of your plan. Most of the hunger you experience at this point is nothing more than "head hunger" because your body is so used to receiving food on a regular basis....it will pass. For me, Water and chicken broth really helped, and if I felt super-hungry, I would make my Protein shakes a bit thicker (less water or almond milk) than normal so it felt more substantial. Best of luck!

Food items that I am scared of..
russm replied to Lema's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am six weeks out and have all of the things on your list except ice cream. I keep natural no sugar Peanut Butter packets in my back pack for a quick snack and have a teaspoon or two with fruit. I hate soft bread so I get firm bread from a local gluten free bakery and have a thin slice once in a while. I have had a tablespoon or so of rice and have had boiled or mashed potatoes. Canned Soup is not something I would normally eat. I tried it the liquid phase before making my own as I did not like the taste. Prior to surgery I regularly made homemade coconut yogurt but o do not do so anymore since it is not Protein dense enough for me. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App -
So I'm new to this but I had a hernia repair and a lap band revision to gastric sleeve on July 19th! I'm pretty excited with this new choice of life but confused at the same time. I never know if I'm eating enough I always have a rumble in my stomach. I'm not able to drink anymore than one bottle of Water a day. I sip on it all day but never exceeded one bottle. I know that's not good and I'm probably dehydrated but I feel stuffed after a few swallows but my stomach sounds like it needs food. I eat sf Jello, broth, Greek yogurt, and strained Soups but I'm not sure how much it too much. After two spoons of something I'm done. Is this normal?? My doctor has now allowed mushy foods. What should I eat and how much is normal? On the bright side I've lost a total of 19lbs but it sounds so unhealthy.

Late June Sleeve Buddies?
cb0929 replied to Maggie143's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm having some trouble with finding different foods to eat. I tend to eat the same items...grilled chicken, egg salad or scrambled eggs, cheese, yogurt, Peanut Butter... I think it's because I'm limiting myself the the foods that I actually like from the sheet my surgeons office gave me. I'm not sure where to start expanding what I eat. What are you guys eating when you go out to eat and for dinners/lunches at home? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Hi I'm just about week 4 and even though I have no trouble with food so far, I don't have the time to constantly eat 2 oz portions in order to get enough Protein. So I am doing my best with food and then supplementing with shakes. Most days I have a greek yogurt or cottage cheese, turkey slices rolled up in provolone, chicken breast or tuna fish. If I go out to a restaurant I order fish or some other soft meat, like a pulled pork or chicken or I have sashimi. I snack on babybel or other types of cheese. I honestly haven't tried veggies yet, mostly because I haven't had room after getting in my protein.
-
Not sure what stage you are at so I'll base it on the guidelines my nutritionist gave me. At week 4 I was still on purees so Breakfast was typically greek yogurt but occasionaly I would have a soft scrambled egg or 2oz small curd cottage cheese. lunch was either tuna or chicken pureed with a little plain greek yogurt. dinner was the same or ricotta bake. I was still doing at least one but usually 2 shakes a day to meet my Protein goal. I'm now 6 weeks out and on soft foods. Based on my plan's guidelines (they vary widely amongst surgical teams), breakfast is 2oz cottage cheese with 1oz of either unsweetened applesauce or no sugar added diced peaches. i still rotate a scrambled egg or hard boiled egg in there too to break up the monotony. Lunch is 2 oz of low sodium/low fat lunch meat (turkey, ham or roast beef) wrapped around a low fat string cheese - I use about 1tsp of mustard to dip it in. Dinner has been 2oz of tilapia (it stays nice and soft when cooked, change up the flavor by using different herbs - i really like greek seasoning on it), 2-3oz shrimp or 2oz soft chicken with 1-2oz vegetables - so far I've had carrots and green Beans, again cooked really soft. I still have one Protein shake as a snack to meet my protein goal.

Food items that I am scared of..
mistybell replied to Lema's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've had everything on that list since my surgery in March except for homemade yogurt. That's only because I've never made my own yogurt, I've had plenty of the store-bought stuff. My surgeon's plan has been quite flexible and nothing is truly off-limits for me now that I've advanced through all of the stages of the post-surgery diet. If those foods are personally trigger foods for you, avoiding them is a good idea if that is what will help you be successful. However, if you have been brought to tears by eating something that could have otherwise been incorporated into a healthy eating plan it would be a good idea to seek a professional to discuss your food anxiety. Getting a boost from a therapist is another tool that would likely increase your ability to be successful. Good luck to you! -
Tried yogurt today... It didn't go well

I'm 6 weeks post-op and as of the last 3 days have had daily nausea after having Breakfast (which is usually Greek yogurt or cottage cheese (vegetarian, no-eggs). I'm drinking Water as I've done last few weeks. I've had an extremely smooth recovery so far but now this has popped up out of nowhere. I contacted the practice nurse yesterday and she said it could be a thiamine (B1) deficiency (I take Multivitamins every day so that didn't sound right). She said to get bloodwork if it continues. Has anyone had this happen suddenly a few weeks out? I feel like I'm constantly trying not to throw up (and haven't since surgery).

Late night head hunger
LowBMISleever replied to betterme38's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Me too. I just keep "eating" - hot chicken broth for the salty craving, then SF Jello, SF popsicle, and right before bed I have 3oz of L&F yogurt. It helps. Not sure I'll ever break the habit. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Can't get protein in
sailaway replied to MarieLouise's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 3 weeks too. Sources of Protein and basically my diet right now ( they are all liquid/pureed protein for the most part right now, still the easiest to get in the most protein if liquid form): shakes. I do unjury brand chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla (blend with ice, milk, some banana) and the Premier Protein. Unjury Unflavored protein (mix this into avocado, sugar free pudding etc.) Unjury chicken Soup (If I get tired of the taste, I mix in a little tomato or potato cream Soups, just a bit changes the flavor) Greek Yogurts (Dannon light & fit) Cottage Cheese Avocados Scrambled Eggs I know one thing my nutrionist stressed about the high protein diet, is that it helps protect your muscle too, so you don't lose muscle, which isn't good. High protein diet protects the muscle and burns off fat cells. At least that is how I understood it. -
About to start Pureed foods....how do I fit in protein?
smg replied to Nikkipit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Honestly I think it was easier to get my proteins in during the pureed/soft stage than any other. I just add unflavored whey protein to just about everything....yogurt, cottage cheese, soup broth, etc. Also sipping your protein shakes in between meals will also help. I used water with my shakes instead of milk or almond milk (which I use now). It helps keep you hydrated as well. -
So I'm 2 weeks post-op and started my semi-solid foods today. I have been through an emotional roller coaster dealing with my food addiction since pre-op diet started. I am happy to tell that my worries have subsided because I was able to tolerate everything I tried today! Yogurt, oatmeal (watery), and a softly scrambled egg with some low fat cheese!! I was very nervous about getting stuck or nauseous or whatever but, I think because I was so worried I really paid attention to the guidelines of eating with my new pouch! So relieved!! Just wanted to add a little happy to the forum! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That doesn't sound like too much food at all. I easily can eat a yogurt at one sitting. I didn't realize we could have bread, hmmm ...i mean yum my eating has been pretty boring...on the move and never really hungry. I try to have chicken or steak strips a couple times a day with a couple bites of veggies. Usually a light baby bell cheese and somewhere in the day some triple zero Greek yogurt Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

May 24 Surgery Day
KristenLe replied to LoveMyBypass's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
This sounds like what happens with that diet pill Orlistat. I would ask younger surgeon about it. Why can't you have yogurt or cream soups? Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App You definitely need to increase fluids!
