tully, i'm sooo sorry you're having a hard time! i know exactly what you mean about never wanting another protein shake ever. i'm already so freakin' burned out on protein powder, i almost can't stand it, and i still have two weeks to go, PLUS post-op! i know i've been told that not eating ALL the stupid protein will keep you from losing the weight, even if you do everything else right, but it's just so icky. :-( i've managed to get by so far by freezing the "shake" mix, and eating it like that, but it's still horrible tasting. i did eat it once mixed in with yogurt, and that managed to cover the taste pretty well, but i really don't like the taste of yogurt either! *sigh* one thing, though, how's your thyroid? i know one reason it's so damn impossible for me to lose weight just from dieting is because of my underactive thyroid. the only way i've even been able to actually lose weight is to diet AND exercise my butt off... but it's hard to find the strength to exercise when you're only eating 1000 calories a day max. okay... 2 weeks... we can do this... one terrible yet liver shrinking shake at a time.

Good Morning Gang... Read last nite when I came to turn the computer off - but needed to get to bed.. Ended up eating popcorn & greek yogurt (w/cream cheese) for dinner - that's all I wanted ;0) - so that's what I ate.. Phyl - I would say we walked for about 3 hrs - you did really well - that was the most that you had walked at the outlets since we have been going - I thought you did VERY well ;0).. What will the pain doc do - Hugs about the back issues - its sure a bitch getting old isn't it - we have all this stuff we want to do - and our stupid bodies are deteriorating My wrist is 7 I think - that's the size bracelets I order ;0) and they are lose - but that's how I like to wear them.. Karla - You are to sweet - We love you .. Yep extended time w/family - Talked to Joseph last night - Kaitlin cleaned up did homework -but he says Melissa is mad at everyone - when she got home the other night she didn't talk to Kaitlin at all.. Didn't deal w/the situation - I think she's depressed - She acted that way when I was up there- she'a always been on the grouchy side (negative) I know that my DS isn't the easiest person to live with - the problem is they are all lazy imho - Joseph says he's staying in Mexico when we go ;0) - he's not coming back lol.. I think her weight (close to 280ish) is dragging her down - then the out of control family - she was on antidepressants a while ago - don't know if she still is.. Well that's their life - I can't do a darn thing about it - but am telling you - I will be on the beach ignoring them if they are too depressing.. Candice - Proud of you for sticking to it !!! -
December 2013 Sleevers Come In!
sandisleeve replied to AtlantaRed's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
-------- These days I'm barely getting in 500 cals and scary to say probably only 50g of Protein which is too low for my doc office -- they want me at 65-80g. I'm coming over a setback After some flounder that did not sit well so started back on full liquids at 8 weeks out. I'm almost 11 weeks out now and have been doing ok with salmon and stewed meats. most of my protein still comes from shakes blended with fage greek yogurt cause it takes way too long to eat any solids. Still recovering from hernia repair. Everything makes me gassy these days post flounder so I'm taking ultra tums as per my doc. I take spin classes 2-3x a week and have no idea where I get the energy from But it's a fun stress reliever. I feel fuzzy only when I don't get enough Water like minimum 6-8 cups daily or more on spin class days. Hope you feel better soon. -

CALLING ALL JULY 2016 SLEEVERS
SalOdyssey replied to Tresa Embil's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am so curious about what people are "eating" during the liquid diet phase. My dr didn't tell me that I had to do it - I was told to have liquids for two days prior to surgery but I want to do the two weeks just to prep my body for the surgery (shrink my liver - get used to not eating . . .). What have you all been told to do?? Only protein shakes? Soups? Some vegetables? Can you mix fruit into your shakes? I have read/heard so many different things. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I am allowed protein shakes 3-5 a day in addition to picking 2 items from a 6 item list consisting of light yogurt, 1 cup raw veggies, sugar free Jello, pudding, cream of wheat or oatmeal. -
More Magazine (otherwise known as "the Menopause Rag"), published an article about the scandal of bone density tests. Evidently the machines aren't calibrated correctly and there are a whole bunch of people out there talking the osteo drugs that don't need them. I am 5'11", large-boned, I walk, lift weights and take 1,000 mg of Calcium and 5,000 of Vit D a day. This is addition to 2 servings of Greek yogurt, cottage and other cheese per day. Every year my doctor gives me an order for a bone density scan and every year I don't go. I think it's a racket by big Pharma.

Anyone else getting sleeved in August?

Hello beautiful sleevers! My surgery date is scheduled for Aug 1st. Still waiting for ins approval tho!! Some have mentioned "food funerals" and I've lol because THATS what I've been having lately. Gotta say there have been a lot of food funerals for me. Tomorrow starts the liquid diet. Even though My doctor advised the liquid diet three days prior, I want to start now because I feel I'm going to struggle with this!! I am, however, sooooo EXCITED and ready to start this new chapter. I've joined a gym for their Zumba classes and will be doing that at least 4x a week with light weight training!! I've bought GNC LEAN Protein powder!! Some yogurt and lots of Water. Have to stock up on that chicken broth and sugar free jello!! I'm hoping I can do this part. Anyone have other suggestions for this liquid diet?? -
Good Morning, Violets.. Freezin rain here. Same situation as Christmas Eve. Bob goes in early and I'm supposed to wait for Kris and Nathan, but I'm going to go in with him today. I don't want to miss his last Sunday there and I don't think the kids will be able pick me up. We're supposed to have freezing rain snow and sleet all day today. I reset my ticker to show the weight I started at on Jan. 2 So I've lost 3 pounds which I'm happy with. We add soft protein today so that means eggs, eggs and more eggs, plus yogurt. I know I can do it if I can make it past the reception after church today. Everyone have a great day. We're all doing great and need to be proud of ourselves!!!

Doc came out said everything was fine but that he has a big esophagus and he asked me why....I said I didn't know and he asked if he "stuffs food" and of course he has/does...so the Doc said he can't do that after surgery! Like no duh! They may keep him in hospital for an extra day or at least hold him until tomorrow evening. I have to wait another 2 hours to see him while he is in recovery so out to breakfast I go. Bob Evans has a great yogurt with fruit..probably not low fat but I hardly eat any.

I just had my two week post op visit and was told I'm doing good. Had a couple of incision sites that were infected but antibiotics cleared that up. I started yogurt and soup early, my nut said it was ok as long as I could tolerate it. I've lost 18lbs so I'm happy and I'm walking about 1/4 mile a day. My only concern is I like the Greek yogurt by stony field (blueberry flavor) and my nut says its a good source of protein (13 grams) however I don't think either of us realized that each cup has 15 grams of sugar! Is that too much or will it be ok? I haven't heard back from the Dr. Office yet.

How long are you on liquids post op? I ate popscicles, yogurt mixed with soy milk, creamed soups mixed with extra soy milk and put through a blender, snowballs (chopped ice) with sugar free syrup,

I can have plain yogurt but that sounds pretty boring as well. I feel like I need a change and I still have a ways to go before I start the purée stage

Toppings replied to susanlondon's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Hi guys Homecare thanks for the well wishes. Bobobaldy thanks for letting me know what happens when you get to target. Wow you've done fantastic. I was given a fill last Thursday 0.5ml which brings me up to 6.0ml in a 7ml band. Boy is it tight!!! Having the dreaded reflux at night and have never had that before. Was eating a yogurt earlier and threw it back up. Even icecream came back up. Managing to eat a few of those Carrs Cheese Crackers and of course the odd Malteser is managing to stay down :thumbup: Hoping this won't last for too long otherwise I'll be back to see him for an aspiration. For the moment, Gaviscon and Rennies are my best friends!! -
Well, I hope I am back for good! My computer is up and running again. What a fiasco with Tech Support! Sugarbear: I had surgery the same day as you. You could have written my lapband story! As Pam said I ended up with hernia repair also. I had the same "gas" pains as you and in the same location. I kept denying they could be gas pains way up there! I talked to Pam and as she explained, they are not what we know as "normal" gas pains. It is much better now. I still don't have much of an appetite and I have to keep better track of what I am eating. I think I am missing the Protein intake by a bit. I am going to do better starting today. Dr. Pam says that protein is very important for me to heal. And...not to skimp on my pain meds. (Thanks Doc!) I have lost about 13 pounds since starting on the liquid before surgery. Sue in Russia, I have some protein stuff from Wal-Mart. It tastes cruddy with just Water. Yesterday I mixed it with skim supreme milk and a little crushed ice. I added about 1/2 tsp of Crystal Lite (strawberry kiwi this time), thru it in the blender, it was excellent. At least it will not go to waste and it has alot of Proteins per serving. I have been eating the Campbell's microwaveable Soups, yogurt, cream of rice, knox Jello bars, sugar free fudsicles. The soups I only eat about 1/2 serving and then refrigerate the rest for another meal. They are very soothing. Best wishes to all you already banded Marchers and for those of you coming up, we are watching for you and sending good wishes your way! Gail

Rosi -- I haven't been banded yet but I've been experimenting with the allowed foods so I'll be ready after surgery. This morning I made a yummy "protein shake" with the following: Blue Bunny strawberry yogurt smoothies (it's sugar free) 1.5 tbsp of vanilla whey protein 1/4 c cottage cheese 8 ice cubes blend all together well till ice is chopped fine -- YUMMY Hope that helps.

OK, so i kinda cheated today. I am still on liquids only + yogurt for 2 more days and I broke down added an egg to my chicken broth. I am allowed poached eggs in 2 days. I tried to make my own egg drop soup, but I guess the broth wasn't hot enough and it just turned cloudy. I heated it up some more and omg it was delish!! I hope it continues down my digestive tract as happily as it went in. LOL -
Did you recieve a booklet that was for post-op? I got two. They look alike. One is for post-op. The front cover has a womans picture and it says "I can succeed." They actually look just alike. I got one post op and the other in my pre op info folder. The booklet is by "Inamed Health," the company that makes the band. That might really scare ya, I am sitting here reading this sentence..Your stomach can only hold 1/4 cup of food ( or 2 oz.)at one time. Eat 3 small meals. It is page 2 of the booklet. I am assuming they are talking about right after surgery. It also says it is very important the first few weeks to avoid putting pressure on the new stomach above the band. If you have an Inamed Band your doctor's office will have this booklet. It is very informative. But as always follow your doctors orders to take care of the band. I am still post-op liquids. But not after Wed. I get mushies, purees, pudding, yogurt, hot cereals, ect. I am looking forward to it too. Good Luck.

Georgia, stop in the grocery store. Grab a yogurt or applesauce that are in the tubes so you can eat on the go. -

It's amazing to me how different everyone's pre-op diet is determined by different doctors!! I am to use 4 protein carb controlled shakes ( they gave me a list of types) and 6 snacks a day that consist of my choice out of 1/2 c oatmeal, 1 cup tomato or v-8 juice, 1 cup raw veggies ( a list was given to choose from), a list and amounts of different fruits to choose from, sugar free pudding or jello, and light yogurts. I am on day 4 and am HUNGRY for some reason today!! I am a little overwhelmed with the thought of how my life will change after having the surgery but am exited all the same. -
:wow2: is all I can say....I've just ben reading the last 3 pages, I cannot belive how much weight some of you have lost already! That is Soooooo encouraging. Lara: you made me laugh so much re: 'I felt like my entire backside must have disappeared somewhere' that sounds great to me....I know what you mean though want it to go from your tummy first though, cos I would too. It does concern me too about balancing work and food, as I work away so much from home, I dont know how Im going to cope, I guess I'll have to nip out to the shops and buy microwavable soup, and yogurts? Also, what is jello? Is it jelly (crystles disovled in water and it sets?) Have a great day everyone!

Well, my DH is getting to spend the evening out with his friend tonight. I'm still not feeling all that well, so I decided to stay home from our huge fireworks show tonight. It's on TV every year, so it's not like I'm going to miss much anyway. At least he gets to go. The only reason I go is because I feel bad if he doesn't have anyone else to go with, but his friend is picking him up. Yeah. Dini, Hunter hasn't started yet, probably a few more weeks. Waiting for the principal to call for a meeting first. Frustrated, love the way your DH put it, and he's right on isn't he!! Cazulay, I'll have to remember the "MOM" next time. I resorted to the worst thing first, and when it barely worked, I went for exlax. Thanks for the idea though, I really appreciate it!! So, what marathon will you be walking? Are you doing the full or 1/2? Are you training alone, or with a team? I trained with Leukemia and Lymphoma Society team when I wlaked the Columbus Marathon last year. It was great fun, but I didn't lose any weight becasue of all the carbs they tell you to eat, and the gels and such we used. Hope you have better luck than me, I'm sure it can be done and lose weight too, I just was overeating on all the wrong things at the time. Good Luck to you. Chim, when is your walk?? Coming up soon? Did you rent out your condo yet? Hope you're having a great weekend. lindaa, I don't think the water is a problem, but it may have been the culprit this time. I went and had my hair done Thurday and was there a long time, with a 1/2 bottle of water, so I didn't get my fluids in this day. Also, I was on liquids, so all I had ate was shakes, soups, and yogurts. No fiber at all. So it was probably a mix of things, but OMG, I have never felt that bad. Next time I will be more prepared, maybe get some V8 juice or something, and try the metamucil or benefiber. Thanks for the ideas!!

Chapamar replied to susanlondon's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Thank you for the kind words. Wannabe, with me food has quit being an issue (!!!) amazingly. Instead of it being the treasure I want to dive into, it's become something to keep me from getting weak and dizzy. Even with only 4cc, I tend to be on the tighter restriction side. So, in the mornings I either only have coffee and maybe a small yogurt if I am hungry. Lunch is usually some salmon and dinner is whatever I make for the family. And it really has gotten to the point that I don't think THAT much about what I'm eating because I never eat enough for it to be terribly bad for me. I made ooey gooey lasagna last nice and it was good, but I only had a sliver. So, I stick to protein first and then a vegetable or something if I'm not full. My BIG weakness is ice cream, this is a new addiction. But, when I indulge, I will usually choose to have an ice cream cone INSTEAD of a meal.....poor nutrition I know but SO GOOD and I do it in moderation. That was a lot of words for no answer, huh? hahahahah -
Kathy I am so sorry to hear about your father. I fortunately have not gone through any major illnesses or losses with either of my parents. My prayers are with you. Good for you for keeping up with the exercise while away from home. I am struggling right now with not enough restriction. I am hungry all the time and fighting those demons. I am setting at home right now eating a SMart Ones. I was supposed to be in town about 20minutes ago but I thought I better eat before I went shopping because otherwise I would be amoungst the 'bad' stuff and end up over eating and eating all the wrong things today. Being a little pro active today. Janet I gave in last night and had 2 of the mini Peanut Butter cups. There were only 9 of them left and I ate 2 and then thought I can't eat these and threw the rest away. We still have a lot of bubble gum and some tootsie pops here but I never eat those anyway. Congrats on hitting back with the night demons. I like you get hungrier at night. Since the time change I go to sleep earlier though so that helps. I have sugar free frozen strawberries and yogurt here so once in a while I while have a little of that. Hanging on and can't wait til next week.
