February Sleevers.... Check in!
Iambeautiful replied to Lulah's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@Darianna75 I got so excited about deli thin shaved meat but when I tried to eat it, it was a no go..... I couldn't swallow it at all and it just didn't taste good to me anymore.... funny how things I love before, i can't really tolerate or even LIKE now...... Now with the chicken salad .... Here is what i do .... now you might want to do it differently. I really don't love boiled chicken so I buy a roitessere chicken. Then I take off the skin on the breast portion and take my fork and mash it very small....then add greek yogurt and half light mayo with dry ranch dressing seasonings (hidden valley) I tsp mustard, and dill pickly relish. I make it very moist. I can't eat a lot at a time.... only two ounces maybe and a few cracker crisps if i feel like it.... I ate this almost every day for a week. I thought I'd take a break from the chicken salad for a while but i really can't tolerate meat that isn't in some very soft or pureed form. I heard it will eventually get better. -
Same! My sleeve will not tolerate it I’m in so much pain when I do eat it and I hate yogurt so I’m trying to find something else that could work..

Hi Pacu, My nutritionist took me off fluids on Day 6---she said I was past due. I started eating yogurt, babyfood, etc... from that day and it's progressed since. :rolleyes Some doctors like their pts. to be on liquids for two weeks. Maybe that's your diet? It's a GREAT conservative, safe approach and ensures GREAT healing. Cheers, Toni

October Sleevers! Announce Yourselves
ashleytn replied to SkinnyMinnie2Be's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Day 2 was my worst day. But today (day 3) I'm feeling so much better. Fluids are going down much easier. I'm down almost 20 pounds from my highest weight on 9/18/12. My husband told a friend of ours that he could tell I was losing before my surgery. The best position for me was propped up on my bed. I even slept slightly propped up. I'm ready for Monday when I can start yogurt and sugar free pudding! -

Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call
momto3girls replied to newgrandmother's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
How far out are you MrsNellieC? I am SO jealous! What kind of meat did you have in the fajita? Heck, I am at 4 weeks on Monday and still have trouble/pain swallowing applesauce sometimes. Yesterday had a major puking episode after only 3 bites of scrambled egg and yogurt. I WANT FAJITAS!!!! -
I had mine done the same day! The gas pressure has gone down but today was though. Yogurt is not agreeing with me and I was able to walk about a mile today. How are you doing today?

October Sleevers! Announce Yourselves
choc_thicktothin replied to SkinnyMinnie2Be's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am so excited about the surgery! I went to Cosco this weekend and purchased protein powder, greek yogurt and vitamins. I picked up some Cytosport Whey protein powder (vanilla) that has 27 grams of protein and only 3 grams of carbs and 140 total calories. It was alittle pricey but it was really delicious!! I am not a big fan of this greek yogurt by itself so I will have to mix it with other products. I went to my local Market Street grocery store and purchased the PB2 powder and PB Thins! It made me fall in love with peanut butter all over again. Has anyone else been shopping and purchasing preop/post op goodies yet? Is anyone using chia seed in there preop shakes? -

Apple1 replied to Newme17's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
This a good warning for me to be prepared when I go back to work. Food prep is going to be essential to staying mostly on plan. what did you do? I think I would have made a wawa run and got some soup or yogurt. -

FluffyChix replied to FluffyChix's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I thought I should relate this especially to Tea: My yogurt smelled a little dicey this afternoon, but I figured, "Meh, I'll give it a gamble." (You know, cuz I thought of you throwing out your good yogurt due to the expi date being past its prime.) Well, that might not have been the smartest decision I've ever made. I'm not feeling so fresh and lively right now. -

FluffyChix replied to FluffyChix's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Ok, y'all feeling better this morning. I will "will" myself better or die trying-- roflmao! Walking really helped yesterday. I didn't want to do it-but once I was actually walking, I felt like living. Yay team! The month is winding down. I began IF on 9.3 and will just close out September with short numbers. But it looks promising, although I am concerned about the protein amount which went down from last month while fats and carbs went up. Today is a 16/8 day, but with 3 meals to it--eating to satiety. No tellin what it will be. I know soup will be one of those meals and probably some yogurt/cottage cheese/pbpowder/berries/Fiber One cuz it sounds good to me. Beyond that, dunno bout dinner. Oh @GreenTealael and @Matt Z I ordered some matcha yesterday. So do you use it in place of green tea bags or in addition to them? I'm also gonna try making the turmeric paste to have on hand. -
So I am now 3 days post op. I had a moment yesterday, while in pain, asking why I did this to myself but today is better. My fluid intake is good and I got to go from clear liquid to full liquid today. I think the additions of soups and yogurt and the like will make it easier for me to handle the next 11 days before moving to pureed foods.

Any May 26th Sleevers out there?
scoutmom replied to scoutmom's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hey there - I am feeling really good, a bit sore on the belly and still some shoulder pain from the gas. My doctor pumped tons of liquid through my IV so the discharge nurse suggested not weighing until tomorrow morning to give the Water weight time to dissipate. Getting the water in will forever be my challenge. Unfortunately, my doc has me on full liquids for another week. I'm dying for yogurt or something substantial. Head hunger has me a bit cranky.....but I knew that this would be my challenge. food is a major source of entertainment for our family - so re-training my brain is the focus! Glad everyone is doing well! -

Broth, tea, soup or lighter fare like yogurt. It takes time to adjust also but here are a few videos -
Soft Food Stage Here I Come! 6 Weeks On Monday! What Too Eat?
Chimera replied to jennrus's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My first meal was a one egg omelette with sharp cheese - think I made it through about 1/4th of it and was stuffed to the gils and in heaven lol. Ate lots of eggs, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, refried beans, chicken, tuna, and eggs salad - chopped very fine. chicken in the crock pot is nice as it stays very moist. another favorite is a slice of avocado wrapped in a bit of deli turkey - delish! Sometimes when I get tired of eating the same old thing I will pick up some lean cuisines or Smart ones frozen dinners (only the ones with meat and vegetables - i dont do rice, pasta, or much in the way of potatoes during this phase of my life - maybe when i get to goal) One of those dinners can last me 3-4 meals dpeneding on what it is. Same thing with a can of refired beans - 4-5 meals. I loooove soup but it can be a bit sliderish for me - as can the beans once I got onto dense solids. The three turkey meatball dinner (add salsa or condiment of your choice) leaves me packed to the gills. I still do protein soups, shakes - love string cheese and bonbels - we go through a lot of those around our house, and canadian bacon. -
Hey Twin yes I have 3 days of each but today I was able to eat something real and still had yogurt for breakfast and mashed potatos for lunch and 2 protein shakes but for dinner I made myself a turkey lettuce wrap. It was so good and so filling. I made another one 4 lunch tomorrow. I CAN'T have any bread, rice or pasta my dr told me NEVER! Its really sad but I have to do what I have to do. Doesn't mean I can't act like a brat and throw a tantrum about it lol. As far as carbonated drinks they told me not to becuz it can cause alot of extra gas in my tummy and make me uncomfortable. My dr wants to c me back in 2 weeks to check my incision but didn't say to much about a fill. How much are you paying for your fills?? Is it just a co pay or is it free? I think mine said I was still global whatever that means so it was no charge YAY. Haven't really been consistent on the exercise thing. I have been getting light headed when starting my work out. I have been trying to take it easy and ease into it. Hope your doing good....

I find that I have to have sauces or more liquids to get it down!
Christy Z posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I just got tightened because I wasn't loosing and could eat too much, but I notice I need sauces or more soupy type foods to get it down. I am stuck eating protein shakes or soups most of the time. I eat yogurt or 60 cal puddings, etc. I can get spaghetti and meatballs if I have a lot of sauce. Any ideas for low calorie sauces. Fish is good for me with tarter sauce. I need more variety. I am losing again now, so I don't really want to get loosened, any recommendations??? I need help with my diet please !!! -
January 2014 Sleevers Come In!
luckyme2g replied to HipsAndLipstick's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Laura, my version of the full liquid diet includes 3 protein drinks per day plus 3 snacks of yogurt or low fat milk plus 2 strained cream soups per day. I am sure your nutritionist wiki have a similar plan, but it may vary slightly. This is only for days 8-10 of the pre op diet for me. -

May Sleevers...where are you?
TheRealMeIsHere! replied to bvenegas's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try different protein shakes. I, personally, did not like the thicker ones, such as Muscle milk light. My favs have been EAS AdvantEdge rtd, and Designer whey. I mix the chocolate powder with water and crushed ice, then blend till thick and creamy, in a bullet. You can even add PB2. Alot of people, also like the Nectar products, which are not milky and come in TONS of flavors. Other sources of protein include: egg substitute (is pasteurized so can even be added to shakes) fat free cottage chese/ricotta (you can season the ricotta like you would for stuffed shells and heat with low carb sauce or I have a recipe for cannoli cream) ff/sf Greek yogurt I was allowed those things, even in the liquid phase Are you on regular food? If so, i can give you some recipes for protein pancakes, muffins and cookies. Good luck, it DOES get easier. -
May Sleevers...where are you?
anikka replied to bvenegas's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had some tomato soup, didn't know it was spicy when I bought it. I was able to tolerate it just fine. I'm one week post-op and on full liquids. I find that yogurt sits harder in my tummy than other things. I'm definitely dealing with head hunger, but my sleeve has no problem in letting me know it's too much. I had broth from Chinese soup the other day and it was the first time I felt over full. I had about 6-8oz total but felt like I'd had a 6 course meal. -

I haven't been able to get the vitamins yet
Berry78 replied to MamaOfFive's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
You need protein. Milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs, beans, peanut butter, meat, fish, tofu, etc. Any vitamins is better than none. Flintstones chewable complete (you need the iron) or the like. If money is an issue and you are in the US, go to social services and apply for assistance. -
September Sleevers- How are you feeling??
shanicebarry replied to Ash_Bri85's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on 9/12. I have been doing well. I'm supposed to be on liquids, but I was feeling extremely weak, so I had some cream of wheat. I'm not having any issues getting foods down, and I don't feel sick afterwards, I have been loosing weight since surgery I lost 4lbs, bc the gas had to leave my system. With preop diet and surgery thus far I've lost 18 lbs. I'm not upset at how my weight is dropping I just want to work out honestly. I try to walk a lot during the day bc I love to exercise. I'm sure my doc will be mad that I advanced myself on soft foods 1 week early, but I need the energy. I go back to work tomorrow and everything has healed well for me. I'll try to eat healthier soft foods like non fat Greek yogurt tomorrow. But as for now all is well. I'm a very active person so I want to make sure that my metabolism can keep up with me. My stats are below. First visit: 245 lbs Before preop diet: 236 lbs After preop: 225 lbs Cw: 218 lbs
