Need Ideas
imagine.dream.inspire replied to Mommyof4's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
How about yogurt? Or some refried Beans? Your body is adjusting that is why the scale suddenly stops. 21 pounds in 10 days is a lot of weight to lose. It'll pick up soon enough. I think a lot of us go through this but eventually it evens out. :thumbup: -
I have 4 kids 12 (91 lbs), 10 (65 lbs.), 6 yr old twins (43 and 41 lbs). All my kids have always been on the skinnier side of things, were little babies and the twins were preemies so they started out tiny. I am just really careful about what Snacks we have in the house. I very RARELY buy Cookies. I do notice I buy more crackers for snack than I need too but I do balance it out with fruit, yogurt, string cheese, etc. My kids love the healthy foods too so I don't have to force them. What does your step-daughters doctor say? I think that you have every right to be concerned about that size because unfortunately other kids will give her a hard time as she gets older. I think maybe you can just do what you can by being careful with what you have in the house as far as snacks, juice, soda (for her at least), etc. It is probably hard if she goes back and forth between households. You can only do what you can. Hopefully for the daughters sake her mom will come around. Is her mom overweight? I have a friend who is obese and her son now is. When our kids were at their house they would constantly feed them. I would tell them, 'my kids JUST ate dinner' or 'they just had a snack 5 mins ago' but my friends mom would say, 'oh, they are just kids and they have babyfat'. Now my friends son is 10 and weighs over 100 lbs. That thought is okay when they are little but baby fat turns into kid fat when they get older than toddlers. Good luck!

I love sweet potato but I can't eat snacks much less blueberries. Since I got fill #4 I have been able to eat only this: mashed poatoes, blended soup, ice cream, protein shakes, water, yogurt, and 1/2 the time I pb on this stuff! I have PB'd on ice cream! I am making an appt with Dr. Barker today to discuss all of this. I think maybe I need an unfill and a nutritionist. I cannot stress to new or wanna be bandster how much you need a doc with follow up. My doc has no follow up - sent me to Dr. Maese who is the biggest jerk, and now I have the 2 of them telling me different things, and my body telling me completely another!

Unplanned meals away from home
threebeauties replied to derbygirl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi I was banded on 10/19/06. I just got back from McDonalds and had a grilled chicken salad. I ate the chicken first, very moist. After I ate about 50% of the greens. Don't forget, they have yogurt parfaits,skip the granola. -
Where the May sleevers i just got my date!
ontoanewlife replied to Luvlvnlyfe5's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can totally relate. I'm 8 days post-op today and have struggled with variety. My MD told me that during the 2 weeks of full liquids you can have anything that you could potentially drink through a straw (but you don't use a straw). So I have made: smoothies with 4 strawberries, 1/2 a banana, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt and 1 choc premiere shake or just by itself without the premier shake. I have made cream of chicken soup. I have had cream of rice mixed to a thin mixture with Trader Joes strawberry smoothie. I'm sure you could also try other cream soups as well. I eat a couple of popsicles a day. I personally don't eat the sugar free ones because they have Aspartame and the calories are not that different if you ask me. Trader Joes has a fabulous Red Pepper soup and other soups such as butternut squash and carrot. Just some ideas. Hope it helps. Good luck. I'm also looking forward to pureed foods so I can have even more variety. -
Whoa Nelly...6 day’s post op and puréed soup
MIZ60 replied to rebchief's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Not sure if pureed food is included in full liquids, I know it was not in my program. In my mind full liquids are just that, liquids. Broth, protein shakes, popsicles, a little plain greek yogurt and water was all I had for the first 2 weeks. You need to be really careful since you sleeve is healing. -
Encouragement needed struggling
JamieLogical replied to svelija's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I wasn't even allowed any solids until 40 days post-op and it was slow going once I was. Trying to get in 4 oz. seems overly ambitious with how far out you are right now. Hell, I can only manage 2-4 oz. of meat and I'm almost 6 months out at this point. I can do better with more liquidy things, but straight up meat is still hard to get down in any significant quantity. I think my only "meal" right now that is over 4 ounces is greek yogurt, so that hardly counts. -
Any August 2017 Sleevers?
niseys4 replied to Jessalene's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I use premire protein drink ! Its way better than powder milk! I remembered my mom use to use that stuff when i was a younster. That was back in the 1960s! Thats how far back that product goes & its still Nasty! I noticed on this forum that everyones Dr is different. For example I am 5 days post op & i can eat yogurt. Jello, cottage cheese & cream of wheat! So far Ive only eatten the greek vanilla yogurt, the jello with protein power added to it & sugar free popsciles! I hope all goes well with you & will have much success! Sent from my SM-T530NU using BariatricPal mobile app -
I am SO disappointed in myself. Self-sabotage post-op
dms75 replied to MoominMan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 11 months out of sleeve surgery. I came to build a routine in what I eat, and I absolutely enjoy every meal. Even if it's exactly the same as yesterday. I love it. Here's what I eat in a day (and the day after, and the one after.... 🙂 Breakfast: 2 eggs, 4 oz of diced lean ham (pork or turkey, or a turkey patty), 1 oz leek, 1 oz sweet peppers, all scrambled together. Add 6-8 cherry tomatoes and an espresso with 1 oz of 2% milk. Lunch: 5 oz of lean meat (chicken breast, pork loin, beef sirloin) grilled or pan seared, 2 cups of shredded fresh cabbage, one tablespoon of light mayonnaise Dinner: 5 oz of fish (cod, mahi, salmon, tuna, shrimp) and 1 cup of sliced zucchini or snap peas, all pan seared together, plus one Danon Light&Fit yogurt. That's about 1100 calories a day. Throw in the occasional apple or cup of berries, and it's 1200 calories, all in. And that's ALL I've been eating for the last 10 months. The only variation is the type of meat or fish I have. Or what flavor yogurt I choose. I'm not bored, and I look forward to every meal. It makes it easy to shop for and cook. Do yourself a huge favour and throw away ALL the crisps, cakes and any other greasy or sugary snacks you may have in the house. Then don't buy them again. If you really must snack, bite into an apple, or chew on a carrot. It keeps the mouth busy, without adding much caloric content. Oh, and I drink a gallon of water a day, to stave off constipation. Hang in there, believe in yourself, and maybe talk to a therapist or a friend about it. -

boardlady@netptc.net replied to Ylime's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just learned of this app. Exactly what I’ve been looking for. I am one week post-op from RnY. So far, so good. Minimal pain, minimal gas. Had my first “meal” after one week of solid liquids. I slowly ate 3 ounces of nonfat plain Greek yogurt. It was awesome to have something other than broth and sugar-free popsicles. Good luck to all of you who are still waiting for your surgery. I am 65 years young and anxious to be healthy. Down 12 pounds. -
Summer 2018 Surgery Buddies Check In Here!
amartin1222 replied to Ylime's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, all! I had my surgery on August 16th. I’m doing great as far as pain, healing, etc, but I was nauseated 24/7 for the first three weeks. I’ve had a barrilium swallow test, and everything looks great - no leaks, twists, knots, or blockages. I realized at the end of week 3 that the protein shakes were the culprit. I have tried SEVERAL different protein supplements to no avail. Once I stopped the protein shakes, I had a couple days of no nausea, now I’m getting sick almost everyday. I have ordered vitamin patches that should be here Tuesday. I’m sure that will help some. I’m still working to get protein in anyway I can (Greek yogurt, still trying other powders/supplements, etc), but I’m having a lot of trouble trying to eat. I’ve talked to my surgeon multiple times. He says some people are just more sensitive to nausea. He said it could be days, weeks, or months, and I just have to wait it out. I am MISERABLE! I’m just so sick of being sick! I’m sorry to be Debbie Downer! I guess I just thought “talking” to someone who may understand may help. Everyone thinks they understand, and they want to tell me to try this and try that, they tell me they know how I feel because this one time when they were dieting blah blah blah, but they have NO clue! I’m not just dieting, I’m not just constipated (Yes, they’ve compared it to that too.🙄), and I’m not just feeling bad. I had 80% of my stomach removed, and I’ve been sick for 4 weeks! -

Update: almost done with day 6. Still have a protein shake to go. Currently trying to finish my yogurt. I froze it for a texture change which has helped a lot -
i feel awful for posting that i was depressed now. i realize that i am really blessed in my life right now. i have a beautiful son, a good job, and a husband that loves and cares for me deeply. money is a little tight right now, because of me and dh missing work for my surgery, but we will make it. we always do. i have been sick and missed work a lot the past year (probably 2 months total), i'm happy now that my pains and migraines have allowed me not to miss much work with the exception of time off for my surgery..and my son was sick. thank you all for your responses. i am happy to report, that my energy level has increased substantially, and i'm not feeling so gloomy anymore. i think it is due to exercise, as i have gone consecutively for the past 3 days (that's HUGE for me). i'm still fighting head hunger, and i eat no sugar added fudgsicle's and 100 calorie carrot cakes occasionally. i've gotten away from yogurt as much. i'm having trouble finding low calorie high Protein foods, any advice? my typically daily menu is 2 turkey sausages, or 1/4 cup egg substitute, for lunch i have 6 pieces ham lunchmeat with one slice of cheese, and for dinner i have meatloaf and broccoli. according to my calculation's that is only about 36 grams of protein. i'm not supposed to drink Protein shakes anymore. thank you all, i will pray for those of us who are facing this battle, be it with weight loss, or personal affairs. we will get through this, we just have to lean on one another and keep faith. there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Band Out, Sleeve In! It's done.
Oregondaisy replied to Elisabethsew's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My friend who is getting the sleeve soon sent me some info she got from Dr. Aceves office. I was surprised to read you can move to protein shakes on day 5 as long as they are made with water and not milk. I always make mine with water. Now I am not as worried about the clear stage. I am glad I am used to eating like a bandster so it won't be that big of a shock to me. I am glad to read you got your talapia. I love that fish too. Yay for the soft stage! Do you like cottage cheese? I used to hate it until my daughter told me to mix it with yogurt. It's good that way, and would be considered soft. -
1 week out, paranoid about sleeve stretching
chef neil replied to luvbugz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi- first take a deep breath- breath and enjoy life... now- make your lists... lay out your vits daily or weekly... done... make a list of meals B-L-D. post on fridge... done...\ the thing I found is some days I can gulp Water, no prob- next day not so good... so take it slow... while you are rehabilitating, is the time to get organized, clean out cupboards etc. make your house clean- eating wise. now plan a time to exercise... the way it works is how you work the program... like any program, you have to make the effort. you are "all in" on this- now that 85% of your stomach is removed... the game is to make sure you become healthier, by following the program. I have had a coupla speed bumps in my road -3 weeks out... my first move is to get over them... mainly eating... it's a physical problem - I still went out and enjoyed live music tonight and the sunset. now my spoon of cottage cheese and a spoon of yogurt are going to be consumed. Good Luck! -
My surgery was a success and recovery is somewhat slow then I expected. I have some pain but not a lot matter fact the only time I feel real pain is when I cough or sneeze. I having a hard time in getting water in. But I am able to eat yogurt, jello and protein shake. I will just be glad when I can get these staples removed. I also realize some of my clothes are getting big. I almost forgot is anyone having some tenderness in their legs I just noticed it today? Call my insurance 24 hr nurse line and she said that I can just keep on taking the blood thinner and everything should be ok. I will probably call my doctor's office tomorrow to be on the safe side. I will be glad when my life gets back to some type of normalize.

I bought that tub at costco in vanilla shake for $49.99 last month. I have not tried it straight, but use it as a base. I have liked it just fine. Best shake I've made with it so far - 1 scoop vanilla ON whey Protein isolate + 2 TBSP PB2 + .75 cup nonfat greek yogurt + 1/2 cup Water + 5 ice cubes + blend = yum! -
Anyone NOT a LB success and just living with it??
Guest replied to a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Yes, we thought that.. I went to my band Dr (Dr Geiss for you LIers) and he did his thorough check to make sure all was as it should be and it was.. you know, the floro thing.. he even said (and this is now almost 2 years later after my last fill) "are you sure you are ok with this much fill?" because the barium stuff really hung there for a few before finally seeping through. I said YES, because I DO appreciate the not gaining weight thing and am afraid that if I had less restriction, I would get bigger than I am. Can't have that! LOL So, I guess that answered the "would you consider taking it out" because, no I would not.. I truly fear I would get bigger!! I would by lying to you if I said I was living on salads and yogurt.. I DO eat around the band.. absolutely do.. but in spite of that, I don't gain weight, so it's ALMOST (like if you squinted your eyes, looked at the sun and shook your head all at the same time LOL) like I can eat whatever I want and not gain weight. AND in some weird parallel universe, I LIKE IT! LOL NO, there's no damage being done.. I mean, not that any DR has found since I've been seen and poked and check up the wazzooo LOL Hell, all this time later and it's still sitting in exactly the right place and where it was put some 3 1/2 years ago! After reading about so many slippages, erosions, etc., I was pretty proud of that! I totally anticipate being 80 yrs old and still having my old friend in there! LOL Celine -
Help w/ protien powders ??
Michee replied to kitcatnap's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You don't have to do protien powders. You can use tofu, milk, and fruit to make a shake. If you are drinking milk or eating yogurt and eating fish/lentils/meat, you may be already getting enough protien -
So true Woodkd. I could easily live on fruit/protein smoothies, lots of yogurt with pecans or walnuts stirred in (yes--way too much fat), cottage cheese, pudding. All soft stuff appeals more than going for some meat. But of course, eating all soft stuff the calorie and fat count can get clear away from me. Whereas eating some chicken or other meat--not gonna happen. Thanks for a good reminder to sometimes do the uncomfortable thing . .
