Congrats!!! I am having the same problems of getting enough protein and water since two weeks post op I am still very restricted. I sip all day on liquid or else I can not get the liquid in. I use cream soups with high protein like cream splite pea, soy milk in my coffee for breakfast, drinkable yogurt. I have to be eating all day to get the amounts in.

OMG October 2013 Post-ops
reinangel replied to DevilBlueDress's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I should stop stalking and check in.. 9wks down and i am down 60lbs total. I have the hardest time with chicken turkey and shrimp. One bite and im puking it up. sometimes 2 hours later. beef seems to be the easiest for me. I cant seem to find the right balance of protein/food or fluids. its always one or the other. I cant take any of the good multi vites because they make me throw up after chewing. Im currently taking vitamelts multi and trying to suppliment with Biotin and foods rich in b1. its been a struggle for me. I am a foodie. I cook and plan meals then after 1 bite i cant eat it. its kinda depressing. But.. then i look at the 60lb loss and i am happy about it. I can barely eat 2 oz of any solids. up to 6 if its a slider like yogurt or liquidy Soups. I am craving chicken wings soo bad so i have to try to find an alternate meat for them.. I will try rabbit and frog legs next weekend. Protein shakes have been hard.. i can still only tolerate Ohyeah ready to drinks and nectar fuzzy navel and twisted cherry.. no other flavors .. hope to get some more check ins. -
February 2014 bandsters?
MestizaBander replied to slinkielovin's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Glad you are feel better! I just started full liquids today but I still have tons of pressure and bloating so I'm getting full off 3 teaspoons of yogurt. I've been walking and walking but it's not budging. My dr. Told me to get some miralax to help me get some relief. I can't wait to feel better! -
Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call
Momofthing1thing2thing3 replied to newgrandmother's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had a piece of candy tonight too. But only one and didn't even want more. Dude, what is up with that? I have sat here and eaten 10 or more pieces of candy. I don't even want it. I'm not even sure it tastes the same anymore. And if I eat one more cheez-it....I'm gonna scream! They don't taste good either. I love them...or I did. I want a salad from Panera. Scared about that. Love Panera salads...what if I hate it now? This is really freaking me out. Stuff I like, I can't stand anymore. The only thing that tastes really good is my greek yogurt with fruit in it. (pre-fruited mind you). Plain greek yogurt makes me hurl. Going on a date this Friday night with my hubby and I'm worried I won't even like steak anymore (just gonna have him order his and eat some of it. And maybe some sweet potato. I'm a cheap date now. Wiggin' out here. All I want to do is drink. And by drink, I mean like water and light juices, etc. Egg nog is really good. The chocolate milk I had was not that great. This is so bizarre. -

Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call
msdrea24 replied to newgrandmother's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi Everyone... I'm 3 days out today and still in the hospital. Per my doctor, all sleeve patients must stay in the hospital for 3 days. I'll be getting my drain tube taken out tomorrow and sent on my way home. I did the Pre-op diet for a week, having 5 Protein (Bariatric Advantage Brand) shakes a day with two warm broths and two cups of veggies. I lost 11 pounds. I haven't weighed myself post-op, but I hope I have lost some weight. All I had was Clear liquids the day prior to surgery and past midnight till today I have had nothing to drink or eat. (smh).. As of now, I am still on pain medications (a pain pump) and I'm drinking an ounce of Water once an hour every hour (which by the way has been super hard to swallow and I even get a little pain once I feel it has hit my stomach)...right before I was started on water, my doctor ordered me to get a fluoroscopy test done to make sure there were no leaks... This fluoroscopy test consisted of me drinking for the first time in more than 48 hours the most dreadful drink ever! (some disgusting dye)!.. But oh well.. My doctor is super duper thorough and since post op I have also gotten a chest x-ray and now I'm just waiting on more post-op instructions. I'll be going back to work next Thursday, hopefully by then l be feeling better and able to digest the following foods: Protein Shakes, water, sugar free Jello, warm broth, frozen yogurt?, and perhaps some veggies too as I did in the pre op diet. Good luck to the rest of the September sleevers... We got a long way to go..=) -
I am pretty sure something is not right, and I have an appointment with my doctor on Monday morning. But I was just wondering what it could be since I couldn't find anything concrete when I looked up my symptoms. I'm kinda freaking out and having to wait the whole weekend is making it even worse. I can't eat anything . Even sliders feel stuck....takes me an hour to eat 1/2 cup of soup and it feels like I have to burp all the time. I can't even drink coffee till about 11am...it comes back up. I have a sore throat too, but not sure if it's related since I've had a bad cold for the past 3-4 wks, which turned into a sinus infection. I have not had a fill since September...but these symptoms just started about 2 weeks ago, getting progressively worse. When I was sick, I vomited several times, and so I stopped solids and just started to eat sliders thinking maybe it will help my band that was irritated due to vomitting. But sliders aren't sliding, even soup is hard to eat now. I just feel like a giant burp is stuck is my throat and I can't get it out. My only savior is hot tea....unfortunately it has no calories. I've been managing to get 300-600 calories per day between yogurt, soup, and thin protein shakes. I will be lying if I said I wasn't scared right now...

Gas X strips - so easy to take, they just melt right on your tongue 2oz Dipping cups (Walmart) - used these to store my food for after surgery (yogurt, applesauce, eggs, etc) they are the perfect size for your little pouch and you can just grab and go Unflavored Protein powder- mixed a tablespoon in everything I ate for a way to get added protein. Also made my own protein Popsicles with a Zoku mini pop maker Jello & pudding - sugar free of course just took a box of these in my favorite flavors plus a scoop of protein and mixed up a batch for the week - just follow directions on the box Sugar free Popsicles - a good go to snack Water Enhancer of Choice - you will get tired of water so I brought so many to keep myself from getting bored Sugar free mints - to keep your mouth from getting dry. The first few days home my month was do dry and I liked to use the mint to also help get rid of the protein and vitamin after taste Waterproof bandages - the hospital provided me with some but I am one that changed mine daily no matter what. I brought the kind that were just a size up from a band aid and they were the perfect size Protein shakes and blender bottles - I got 2 of the small size blender bottle and pre made my shakes for the day. As you can see I had everything in the fridge ready Mederma for your scars - once they completely heal rub on daily Miralax or Smooth Move just in case you are constipated Imodium for diarrhea - which I needed and didn't have because people only tell you about the constipation ( I know TMI) All your Bariatric vitamins - multivitamin, Iron, Vit. D, B-12, and Biotin Small bowls, plates, and baby silverware to help you eat small bites and slowly Comfortable place to sleep - I used a recliner but you can do a large sofa chair, couch, or even a toddler bed. (my friend did this, Lol) just so you will not accidentally roll over on your stomach. I also purchased a food mill for about 10 bucks off amazon to purée my meat but I have not got to the stage yet so not sure if it will be useful. I am only 2 weeks post op. Hope this helps!! If I think of anything else I will let you know Willa -
January 2014 Sleevers Come In!
doneganregime1 replied to HipsAndLipstick's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Oh yea. I totally have to have protein supplement. I have the premier protein shakes once a day with a bar at least. On days I workout I might have two shakes - I heard it's good to drink one post workout... But a shake can give me anywhere from 30-45g of protein. I have pb2 and sometimes I mix that with the protein powder and skim milk. 4 oz fish or chicken is like 20g or so... Greek Yogurt with granola, etc... So it managers to be around 80g. -
I had my sleeve on the 6th and just wanted to let those worried that I did really well. I stayed overnight because I use a CPAP but honestly the worst part of this whole thing was the first two days of my pre-op diet. I don't know if it is because I have had major abdominal surgery in the past but this whole thing has been soooo much easier than I anticipated! I was so worried beforehand to the point that I was contemplating cancelling the morning of the surgery but am SO GLAD I DIDN'T. I had nausea immediately after surgery which they got under control very quickly and since then I have not had any. I can get my 2 protein drinks down a day (60 g protein) and had a little thinned yogurt, thinned cream of rice but the best thing I have added to my diet was 1/2 cup of low fat cream of mushroom soup...that tasted like real food I also have been adding non-fat dry milk powder to everything it mixes with (i.e. soup, yogurt, cream of rice) to add more protein without adding bulk. I also went up 6 pounds after the surgery but it is from the iv fluids they pump into you. That came off within a couple of days and now I am down 4.5 pounds from my surgery weight giving me a total of 18.5 including my pre-op diet. I had a little bit of gas but nothing like I am reading on here...so I feel very fortunate and blessed. I am not going to lie though..,I am worried about the upcoming hair loss :/ Praying everyone else can have a quick recovery also...so glad I went through with my decision...

Capt. Dan: I found a good breakfast the other day, if you like coconut and pineapple. Toast pineapple in pan with pam. Take ff vanilla yogurt, top with drained pineapple tidbits. Top with coconut. I haven't figured the protein on that but it had an amazing taste...and I could only eat half it was filling.

June surgery dates
nursesettie replied to DenaLJ1354's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Surgery June 10th I am 5 feet 8 inches tall HW 289 SW 275 CW 240 I was in sized 24 and now in a size 18 comfortably. I have one size 16 shorts that I can button and zip but I will not wear them for a few weeks. I like looser clothes. I am so happy I did this. I cant tolerate any hard vegetables yet. Yogurt is a favorite thing for me and I am eating almonds. I drink Protein Shakes and eat Protein Bars with low sugar and high Protein. I cant work out much but I still do it when I can. My fat is changing. I jiggle when I walk or move. -
If ur on anything u can drink thru a straw, why r u limited to broth? I was on full liquids for 4 weeks. I had 1/2 cup of Progresso Tomato Basil soup (yummy, btw) or Andersons Split Pea about every 3-4 hrs. Warm stuff fills me up more than pudding or Jello. If I never see another cup of split pea soup, it'll be too soon! I was also allowed soupy cream of wheat/malt o meal and yogurt. Good luck to u!

March 2014 Sleevers
hisandhersleeves replied to kimpossible80's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I usually have half a packet of weight watchers oatmeal for breakfast, cheese stick for 10:30 snack, yogurt for lunch, I sip on clear protein drink all day (200 calories, but it gives me 48 grams of protein), and dinner is harder... I've had a few pieces of rotisserie chicken, sometimes fish, but it's rarely more than a few bites of anything. -
LauraG my doctor says full liquids on days 3-7 post op. I'm lucky his list for that includes: skim milk; strained low-fat cream soups; tomato soup; liquid protein supplements; lite or fat-free yogurt; soy milk; veggie juices; milk shakes; egnnog; ice cream - low fat, low-sugar brands; custards; low-fat, low-sugar puddings; sherbert; fruit ice; nonfat frozen yogurt. I've been tolerating and loving it. For breakfast i had some Yoplait Whipped Strawberry yogurt...it was amazing!! No pieces. For lunch I had a Campbell's By The Hand Velvety Potato soup...blended a little extra and a fruit popsicle. Congratulations, Suzzzie!! I quit taking the Lortab Monday as well...was way too sleepy. Tylenol works but am wondering about Ibuprofen.

071, Everyone is different for sure, but don't worry about the post-surgical pain. It should be a small bump in the long road ahead. Mine wasn't so bad. 3 wks out I still have a twinge or two, but nothing that is keeping me from doing anything. As for the protein, at first this will come in the form of drinks or shakes. I use Pure Protein Frosty Chocolate, 1 scoop, added to 1/2 c milk and some ice chips to make a shake. It's not bad at all. 2 a day gives you 50gms of protein, and then eating Greek 0% Fat yogurt a couple times, and your'e there. Protein will help you heal, and help you lose weight. Try and focus on the END RESULT, which will be worth the struggles at the beginning. You can do it!

I'm beginning to think I need to quit reading some of these posts. I had my surgery 2 weeks ago today. I've only lost 7 lbs since surgery, the rest was pre-op. I had trouble with liquids and just this week tried yogurt and cottage cheese. I have to say, I am really glad you all are losing weight but it depresses the hell out of me.

Chica - that may well be the case, but I just SO don't feel like eating in the AM. I'm actually following the example of my doctor. He himself was banded at 310 lbs, and has been stable at 210 for the last 4 years. He doesn't have anything other than coffee in the AM. That said, there's all sorts of information about the importance of Breakfast, and I know I *should* have something. I just, uh, SO don't feel like it! I guess, since your MD is so all-fired-up about it, I'll try having a swig or two of yogurt smoothy in the mornings, see how I feel about it during the course of the day. Kerri - which iSopure are you talking about? The clear iSopure pre-made ZeroCarb beverages taste no worse than most sports drinks, but have the huge advantage of containing 40 g of Protein. More importantly, the iSopure are thin, whereas the Slimfast Optima contain 10 g, and are thick as mud. I found it so much easier to drink the iSopure than the Slimfast. Again, in the short run - in the first three or four days post-op, I don't think it's a huge deal - but your aim should be to get as much protein in as you can, so the more of that iSopure you can get down, the better. And if you're active, it shouldn't be too hard to get down a bottle or two of the iSopure along with your Slimfast. You're up for probably 16 hours a day! Even if you're hitting only a sip or two of iSopure an hour, you'll make great progress with your protein intake! Anyway, I suspect that the point is moot, since my bet would be that you're going to be feeling a lot better today, and will be moving around and naturally increase your intake without even thinking about it.

I was sleeved july 11. I've lost 35 lbs. I have been in a stall for a few weeks but am trying to stay positive. I'm working out 5-6 times a week. It's amazing how much easier it is without those extra 35 lbs!! My daily Breakfast is a Protein shake. I just can't get my protein in otherwise. I eat a lot of chicken breast but am trying all sorts of new recipes to make sure I don't get bored. Snacks are usually greek yogurt. Tuna is a go to for me as well. 0 My Multivitamin makes me feel nauseous for about 15 minutes afterward. Not fun but it's a small price to pay.

I'm 18 days post op and in phase 3-the purée diet. I've had trouble with anything that is too fatty or too sugary. Also, I've had to mix my Greek yogurt with applesauce to thin it out a bit. I currently have a dull pain in my esophagus and I'm thinking it could be gas but I'm not sure. I tried eating and ended up vomiting violently (red eyes and face) tonight. I'm not sure what's going on, but if I am not able to get food down or shake this discomfort in my chest I will call my doctor.

I am absolutely being tortured. My pre-op diet is: Meal 1-eggs, oatmeal, yogurt, fruit, ect. any two. Meal 2-Protien Shake Meal 3-Lean meat, and green vegetable Meal 4-Protien Shake I am at work, this week they are ordering food in all week. I have to smell their food for two hours before I take my lunch break. I am drinking a ton of water and am still starving. It sucks. By lunch time I am so hungry I could eat anything. Yes I know I am a big whiner and I know in the end it will all be worth it. But right now my stomach doesnt understand or care about all of that. If I had this much willpower I wouldnt be in this situation to begin with. Sorry, I needed to have a pitty party.
