Nathalie-- When I spoke of "yummy" things.....I was talking about the food she's eating now. I've been allowed to eat drinking yogurt, ice cream, milky drinks, soups (not all clear) so long as they are thin and of consistency to pass through a straw. I know why I did it, in the first place. I was just trying to express that I'm having a hard time right now and need to talk about it. I thought it would help to talk to people.

Sweethot- My Doc said FOUR (ug!) weeks of the liquid/protein diet and then soft foods on week five. Soft- oatmeal, yogurt, thicker soups, cottage cheese,... I've got a guy who has a really good result rate on all levels so I am heeding his precautions. It's hard enough to go through this once, I can't imagine how aweful it would be to have to get it repeated or to have it removed after all this. After two weeks of soft foods, I can move to more chewable options beginning with fish, then some white meats and red meats are dead last. In addition, he said no milk (has milk-sugar) or sugar- ever. And to stay away from "white" foods: popcorn, pasta, potatoes,... as these are not going to help with wieght loss. Lastly, no carbonation, chewing gum because they expand the stomach and to watch foods like cream of wheat or rice that might not have absorbed all their liquids yet. They can expand the stomach, too. That's about it for my food plan. It's a matter of timing, planning and careful thought. Today I made more jello. (Yippee) I'll have the strongest nails on the block! I'll bring a red and green combo jello over for Christmas dinner so I can have dessert, too. I told my family I was off sugar, but not that I'm being banded in two days. Merry Christmas!

Hey there September sleevers! Any one out there?
46soon replied to notforthefaint's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm down 25 since September 2nd. It's amazing! I actually have some trouble eating anything other than soft foods. It feels like it gets stuck after a few bites in my chest. I love cottage cheese and Dannon fit 'n light Greek Yogurt. The vanilla coconut is delicious, only 80 calories and high protein. I've tried salmon and shrimp. Maybe I'm eating too fast odd. Love my sleeve! I started to work out this past week. I can't wait to get to onederland! -
Hi - I find that I wake up hungry so I always eat some sort of breakfast. (But I don't have to get up as early as you!) I will eat one of the following - premier Protein shake -oikos yogurt (15 grams of protein) + a tiny bit of high protein Go Lean crunch Cereal in it + a few strawberries or blueberries - 2 eggs and a bunch of veggies mixed in - leftover piece of chicken - if I want something that I can really chew that feels like breakfast food, I'll have some go lean crunch cereal + milk I do try and get at least 25 grams of protein in for breakfast. It keeps me full and not wanting to graze by 9 or 10am.

Jen -- glad to hear you are doing so well! Yay mushies! I know what you mean about looking forward to those foods. I'm on Optifast right now, so I'm actually looking forward to my post-op week of liquids, just so I can have some juice and yogurt drinks! Maria

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.

My cure for food bordom today was to buy a magic bullet blender. I have to say- it's awesome! Great portion controlish cups, easy to clean and it chopped ice REALLY well. I'm excited to try out new recipes and thin out some of the great bean Soups I bought, too. For dinner I made a smoothie: Trim strawberry yogurt Ice Soy milk frozen raspberries plain Protein powder highly gound flax seeds for Fiber and Probiotics It's fantastic and not too sweet. Sue- welcome! Hope you like it here!

good morning bandsters! I go in to the dr today, my first "real" check up since surgery. I went in just 3 days post-op to have my scars retaped and I saw him 1 week later at the support group. I know I won't be having staples removed - ouch! Sweethot - God love ya for going through that! When I was reading it and the nurse said they don't use tape because you are human and not car, I'm thinking well she's not a cardboard box either! Be careful picking up that little one, make sure you bend at the knee so your legs do the work and not your tummy or back. I don't have any favorite Protein drinks - they all gag me at this point. But LF cottage cheese has 12 grams of protien for 1/2 cup and blended in soup its good and is a nice thickener. tannersmama - yes its normal to feel hunger. The swelling has gone down. I'm anxious to get my first fill but its not until 6 weeks post op so I have until Jan 22nd. Sounds like a long time to me. Carol - I hope all will be well in your family this year. I'll be praying for you. Kay - good job!!!! Why do we find those greasy things appealing? I hope I can change my way of thinking along the bandside. I've been struggling with dark chocolates someone brought us at christmas - they are in the trash today! The really bad thing about chocolate is that it MELTS in your mouth so its not like something you CAN'T eat. But what a waste of calories! I did buy some FF choc. frozen yogurt - along with the FF fudgecicles to get me through that chocolate drama that TOM brings. Have a good day all!

Okay, guess what The Nat had for dinner? EGGS! I friggin HATE eggs. But they were so friggin good. Here's what I did. (In case anyone wants the recipe.) I cooked some turkey sausage on the george foreman grill and then pressed the rest of the grease out of it with paper towels. I crumbled it in the bottom of the muffin tin. Then I added cheese crumbles. And onion/green pepper. And finally I poured some egg beaters in the cups and baked it for 15 minutes at 350 degrees. They are like little tiny quiches. Nummy num! Unfortunately I made 24 of them... and ate 3. They are the mini-muffin size, so I think that in total it's 3/4 of a cup. I'm estimating that 1 egg muffin is 1/4c. I'm pissed that I did it again. I see that i'm eating too fast, and not planning my meals before I start sucking it down. And I need to put it on a plate and sit the hell down instead of standing up eating in the kitchen. My belly is so damn bloated! I also whipped up the salmon tonight. I used about 3oz of plain yogurt, added lemon, dill, onion salt and lemon pepper. It was a little runny so next time I'll use 2oz FF cream cheese 2oz FF plain yogurt. It had a good taste, too. Oh, and I put a lil vinegar in it - I like a little tang to my dishes. BTW, I tried to post earlier but I lost my post. I said some really nice things to y'all... Shame I lost it. It's the thought that counts, right? Hang in there, ladies, and don't forget to FORGIVE yourselves. Do the best you can, and when you fall down, pick yourselves up, forgive yourselves and keep on doing the best that you can. Don't be harder on yourselves than you would be to any friend in your same situation. Just a lil loving advice from your friend Nat. Be good and I'll try to keep up with you tomorrow! We really need a list of all of us, and our surgery dates. I don't know everyone on the board anymore. I wish I did though. Stay Strong! Nathalie

Oatmeal & Cottage Cheese During Full Liquid Stage?
Candle replied to Shrinkage's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Pudding and yogurt were part of my "full liquids" but cottage cheese and oatmeal were part of "mushies". -
Hey 50 & over gang We have a new spot
Apples2 replied to IndioGirl55's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Our Walmart does not carry any flavors except for plain and vanilla. I just dress mine up with Splenda and SF syrups. I did try another brand of Greek yogurt in honey flavor and LOVED it but only had 6g Protein. Not enough when I make it my morning meal. Will have to see if I can find it when we are on our travels this winter. -
Hey 50 & over gang We have a new spot
Great2BThin replied to IndioGirl55's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
WooHOO!! So glad it went okay for you. Glad Dr. Garth came through for you. Was he able to remove any of the adhesions? can you have pudding or yogurt? I drank Isopures, of how about some Protein Shakes? Slow? And you are down 42 lbs??? That's pretty good!! I didn't bruise from my fill but she sure pushed hard finding it. -
May 15th, 2017 Sleevers Check in Here!!!
Newme17 replied to Newme17's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Sooo I did have a drinkable yogurt. I turned around and my four year old has a yogurt mustache. She looks at me and smiles real big. I can't get mad...she's so cute!! Lol -
Man, I'm am so sick of BROTH, protein shakes etc. I've been doing them for 12 days now and still have 5 more days! I get to go to Mushie next Thursday and I am counting the days. My doctor still won't let me have meat, but I can have refried beans, cottage cheese, soft egg, no hot sauce, yogurt, and I am even looking forward to cottage cheese. Sherilynn, I hope everything goes okay, please let us know after your cardiologist visit. Also, maillady2, I added you to the master list, and I've sent an email to Angy (the starter of this thread) to update her original post. She should update in a day or two.

As far as things coming out the end ....I had 'mushie butt' the first week and then the 2nd and 3rd weeks definitely had the painful struggles to get something solid out! I thought I was gonna die! But...I got through it. I've started adding Flaxseed to my yogurt in the AM and that seems to be really helping! It has lots of fiber in it! I feel so badly for you guys who have to do 3-4 weeks of liquids!! I was a lucky one and only had to do one....but I know for sure w/the hunger I have now there is no WAY I would have lasted that long! You guys are Troopers!!!! Hope you all have a great weekend!!!

B-man you do not suck! You're doing great! Do you like your new machine? I asked my daughter about it and if I would like it and she said no - you wouldn't use it. LOL ok then I'm going to repeat myself but this is what I ate today. No bkfst 1 scrambled egg, rye toast, cottage cheese and canned peaches went to dinner - cajun seafood alfredo - ate about 1/4 of the huge plate - cut up the shrimp and loved the scallops and the noodles were very soft went to son's for his b-day - had sliver of cake had 1/2 cup of chocolate yogurt before bed - except I didn't go to bed yet. On the one hand it doesn't seem like much but then on the other hand I think I'm eating alot - I don't snack in between because I'm really not hungry. So Paloma - have you ever gotten sick before this? I never ever have felt nausated except right out of surgery and they gave me something for it. Did you throw up. You need to be very careful about that you could hurt yourself. I haven't always made the greatest choices but nothing has made me sick. Do you have a fill yet? Grumpy - I felt the same way, that I should sit up straight. Did you take a shower yet? Once you shower the strips will start to fall off. Siyah - good to hear you are doing better - take it easy for a few days and you'll be back to your old self in no time. Gasx, heating pad

Jennifur replied to TracyinKS's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Jennifer - I lost 10lbs right after my fill and gained it all back at TOM and now right back to 218 again 4 days after. I myself feel like I just got a fill - i had a small yogurt with fiberone cereal in it and I'm so very full. I can't do 1400 cals, but I think I am doing better with the variety. at least I'm regular again, thank goodness for that! What every works, my next mini goal is 215 so I only have 3lbs to get there - I can do that!!!! Judy - Once again, you are amazing and such an inspiration! -

Getting ready to start my second route 44 cup. Think I'll mix up some CL to drink this time. Trying to figure out what to have for lunch. Maybe a small salad and a yogurt. Very cold today but is supposed to be in the 50's this weekend. I'm ready for it, I'm gonna put my walking shoes on and get outside. -

Alex, Are you saying that you are only eating yogurt and cottage cheese? That you have to do this for two-weeks? OMG!! I could not handle that. You are doing great if you are on day 6. Geez how much weight have you lost? i would have to be like that lady who chained herself to her radiator to quit smoking. I think you are doing great. I only have a week of a pre-op diet (bless my Dr.) and it is mainly high protein and low carb. Angie -

Teachlady replied to TracyinKS's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
OK.. here's the thing. My doctor doesn't require protein shakes post surgery. He and the nutritionist say that the protein will come from yogurt and/or skim milk the first two weeks post surgery (clear liquid phase). I just put a call into the nutritionist to comfirm that cause I read in just about everyone's post about protein drinks.. -

Jennifur replied to TracyinKS's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Tracy- you are kind of right, that was what happened last time, but I think pms was a big factor. I am back down to 213 and I was 233 on July 19. So my plan, liquids for the next couple of days to get rid of the bloat and get my self together, and make myself meals. I went to the store today and got some yogurt, some chicken, 2% cheese and some more tuna and veggies. So- saturday morning I'll get my butt out of bed and start eating real food. I usually do this Once a month and have worked hard to maintain. And I'm still holding strong It is just time to kick it up. Speaking of, I'm home from work and watching the Biggest Looser. If these people can work and sweat, so can I. I know I'm at the gym every other day, I need to kick it up. loose the last 14lbs to get into onederland I can do this. Anyone else watch? It is so touching, what people say is just so true and just touched my heart. -

Teachlady replied to TracyinKS's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I had a problem with constipation before surgery. My doc recommended Fiber Sure twice a day and it works!! I hadn't been taking it after surgery cause I wasn't having any problem getting rid of the barium. But after that... nuttin. I called the nurse and she said to let her know if I hadn't gone by Monday. I started putting the Fiber Sure into my yogurt and sure enough after a day, it worked. Aren't we thrilled with life's little pleasures??
