Letty's journey post-op
Rdsegobia replied to Rdsegobia's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well just wanted to give a quick update I'm up 2lbs from last time I weight on 1/10 - today I'm 189 lbs little disappointed, but I just think I need to change things since my weight is been stuck for couple of weeks. I will keep up with my 3 mile walks every day, however I will start doing 40 min workout during my lunch hour at work. I believe tomorrow is spinning will see how it goes. My eating have been good, I put in all the protein needed between 70-90 grams, water between 70-80 oz however I do see carbs have increase to 60-70 grams, but they are usually from beans, vegetables , yogurt and flaxseed. I'm going to stop eating beans at least for a while cause I been eating them with every meal, I used to have 1/4 cup per meal but now is closer to 1/2 cup. I also changed the yogurt which now has more carbs I should have never tried those in the first place cause now I want them, but they are the yoplait whips 100 calorie ones. I'm going back to chobani 100 calories or I'm going to look for the fage Greek yogurt. Other thing is the nuts of course those are my weakness but I will stop completely eating them since I cannot control the portion that I'm eating. I just know this is stopping the weight loss. Well on the bright side: I did not took measurements when I started my journey with the exception of my waist.... Well when I started my journey I had a HUGE waist of 52in and as of today is 36!!! that just makes my day ???????????? -
The truth is, I failed
A New KK replied to AmyFromCincy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hated the Protein shakes but managed to gag them down anyway. That is until someone posted about GENEPRO unflavored Protein powder. I mix it into sugar free pudding, sugar free hot cocoa etc. I've mixed in cottage cheese or yogurt into the Protein Shakes with a little sugar free jam and it turns out like a fruit milkshake. There are ways to get the protein in that is not so gross. I like ricotta cheese better than cottage cheese so I mix the protein powder into that and you can't even tell and 1 scoop adds 30 grams of protein. As hard as it is to eat, nothing tastes as good as thin feels. Buy yourself an nice outfit one size down and hang it on your bedroom door where you have to look at it several times a day. I find that a great motivating factor. I just go shopping in the back of my closet and decide what I want to fit in next. -
My dr does a 2 week pre op diet. 2 Meal Replacement shakes a day. 1 dairy snsck-Greek yogurt or cottage cheese. 2-3 cups vegetables and 3-4 ounces lean Protein, that can be split into 2 meals if desired. At the surgery class I think they said 1 hard boiled egg counts as 1 oz protein. Does this sound right? I bought a 2-pack of eggs at wawa this morning and it was 3 oz total. Thanks.

Day 4 of preop diet..major headache
bncbabe2015 replied to bncbabe2015's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you all so much! Right now I'm so groggy and sleepy and feel like my head is gonna pop off. I am not allowed to have any meats or veggies. Only Protein shakes, broth, sugar free Jello, sugar free pudding, Greek yogurt -
I have been burping up foamy slime every time I eat, usually about two bites into a meal, I feel like I have food stuck but after this nasty foamy stuff comes up I seem to be able to eat fine. This even happens when I eat yogurt so I know it's not because I don't chew enough. I can't go out to eat or eat with people because I know I'll have this problem, I also burp ALOT!! Any suggestions, comments, help??? Thank You all sooooo much!!

Hi everyone, I'm moving on to the thick liquid and purée stage. Just wondering if anyone has suggestions for low carb options. I've been having a Premier Protein shake for Breakfast and lunch which are low carb, but the Soups I've purchased are all really high carbs. I liked the idea of Soup because it feels like a "normal meal", not just a snack like yogurt, pudding, etc. I realize I'm eating super low calories so carbs shouldn't necessarily be a huge concern but I know in the past I've been successful at losing the weight when I'm in ketosis, so would like to keep my carbs low for the next few weeks. Hoping it helps prevent me plateauing too early. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

Any shift workers, how do you schedule your meals?
CaPoppy replied to ididit34's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't work shift work, but my schedule always seems erratic. I drink a Protein drink while I am getting ready. Then if I have any breaks at work or on the drive home I eat a Protein Bar. And then dinner when I'm home. Try eating a protein bar when you are driving home and during breaks. And drinking a shake when you are getting ready or after your workout. If you feel like snacking, make the snack a protein bar, shake, or yogurt or something. Since your schedule is altered 2am-6am is your evening. Regular people are eating dinner in their evening and usually have a snack after their dinner. So as long as you are making good choices then the snacking should be okay. Especially if you need to eat more food. -
Day 3 post-op: Today is much better! I took my (gagging, awful) pain med last night to ensure good sleep. This morning I woke up with minimal pain so I decided I would go as long as possible w/o taking my liquid poison 'er pain med. So far I've not taken any today (knock on wood). I was able to eat a small amount of Cream of Wheat hot Cereal (maple & brown sugar) which made me happy. Everyone talks about the first "real" food they eat after pre-op liquid diet and then surgery. I am sipping on a cold Premier Protein RTD Protein shake this morning with no issues as long as I go slow. I am also better able to tolerate small sips of Water (up until today it HURT to swallow water). As far as my protein shake goes, I am keeping a small lunch cooler nearby with several ice gel packs. After a few sips of shake I seal it up and pop it in the cooler to keep it max cold and close by for the next few sips. I don't like room-temp Protein drinks so cold is key for me. Plus, I assume anything that goes down cold will help with internal swelling. I'm looking forward to "lunch" which could be smooth Greek yogurt or unsweetened apple sauce. Hmmm...decisions. Hope everyone is doing well today! Hang in there #JanSleevers!

My post op put me on full liquids the day I came home from the hospital. I found 2 oz serving containers in the party section of my local Walmart and I put my yogurt, soup, sf jello, sf pudding, etc into those. I also bought baby spoons. Using that container and the baby spoon, it takes me 20-30 minutes to eat.

Chili Avocado Turkey meatballs with ricotta cheese If I want something sweet I take Yoplait greek whipped yogurt and pop it in the freezer. It's heavenly but not for all the time as the sugar is a little high. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk -
Any shift workers, how do you schedule your meals?
meganliz0824 replied to ididit34's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I used to work this shift and my eating times were 1:00 when I woke up. Then 6ish when I got lunch at work. Then when I got home I would eat something small like greek yogurt or string cheese or a couple turkey meatballs. Since you're staying up so late I would eat when you got home then maybe a small snack before you go to bed. Make sure you get in protien. Maybe take a shake to work and sip on that throughout the shift. Also stay hydrated as well. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk -
Low BMI slow losing encouragement welcome!
Clementine Sky replied to itstimealready's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
As of this week it's been five months since my surgery, and I've lost just under 50 pounds. I've gone from squeezing into a size 14 to comfortably wearing an 8 or a 10, so I am pleased though I'd definitely still like to lose some more. My weight loss has been comparatively slow and not very steady. I was twice sick for around three weeks, and believe that contributed to my weight loss halting for those time periods. As many on here have written, the seeming paradox of not eating enough calories leading to a stall or slower weight loss has been very true for me. I lost no weight when I was sick, despite only being able to take in under 600 calories or thereabouts. Even when I was feeling healthy, MyFitnessPal informed me every day that I wasn't consuming enough calories for healthy weight loss. By the holidays my appetite had become more robust, though still unquestionably restricted, and I also wasn't being as diligent about what I was eating. I actually lost five pounds, even with daily frozen yogurt treats I enjoyed with visiting relatives (always a small size, but nevertheless), and other little indulges. I haven't gained those pounds back. This month I've tried to be more mindful about getting in more calories, but healthier ones, because I see more progress on the scale when I've gotten at least 1000. My weight has fluctuated, with a couple more pounds being lost and then being gained again. I have PCOS and this has been the pattern for me for years, though it was far more dramatic than just a couple of pounds. I haven't exercised as much as I'd resolved to yet, so that's something I'm definitely going to try to work on. -
How about dairy? You can try Greek yogurt and if mix Protein powder with it, you can up the protein. I also eat a lot of cheese. How about eggs? If you can stomach those (some can't), maybe try scrambled or hard boiled? For jerky, try the Krave brand. it is very tender and easier to tolerate.

jess9395 replied to Emilie.Lancaster's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Oh there's a whole thread on it been very active recently... If you search you will get better info, but basically--- I scoop Protein powder (one that has egg albumen as part of the protein works best like Syntrax Matrix) 1/4 tsp baking powder liquid to make the consistency of thick concrete Microwave in mug for about 45 sec I am at goal so I like to add about 1/3 of a ripe banana for most of the moisture... Or 2T pumpkin purée (not the pie mix, just straight pumpkin) plus pie spice and vanilla... Or applesauce and cinnamon... And I use fairlife milk but lots of options are discussed on the thread. SF whip cream or plain fage 0% Greek yogurt on top is awesome! Yes chili! Def a comfort food for me too -

I recently discovered ProYo where I shop. It's a high protein frozen yogurt pushup treat. They're too high in sugar to have every day but they are a great occasional treat. -
Yes what @@cindyw41 said. Limit yourself to eating no more than 30 minutes. (I did 20 minutes in the beginning but as I could eat more, I went to 30.) Sometimes (even still at 7 1/2 months post-op), I feel some fullness after only a few bites but it is nowhere near enough for me to get enough nutrition and if I wait about 5 minutes, that feeling goes away and then I can continue - just not more than 30 minutes! I could not eat a whole yogurt or pudding in the beginning. I would portion out half of the yogurt and add 1/2 a scoop of vanilla Protein powder (or 1/2 scoop of chocolate Protein Powder to the chocolate pudding). It makes it kind of runny, but it got more protein in and tasted pretty good.

How about a taco Soup? I brown lean ground beef in a pan and add taco seasoning. Then dump the meat in a CrockPot with a can of corn, can of Rotel Tomatoes, can of pinto Beans, can of chicken broth and a package of dry Ranch Dressing Seasoning mix. Alternatively, I have used shredded rotisserie chicken and just added the taco seasoning to the soup. And another suggestion is Skinny Buffalo Chicken Dip. (I don't remember all the ingredients but I can find it if you want it.) it is shredded rotisserie chicken, greek yogurt, low fat cream cheese, Franks Red Hot, lite Mozzarella cheese and package of dry Ranch Dressing Seasoning Mix. You can serve it as a casserole or a dip. With a dip, you can take cut up veggies and some tortilla chips or crackers. My last suggestion would be just a big pot of Pinto Beans (or your other favorite). Take cut up onions and jalapenos to add. (Can you tell I am from Texas? ) Good luck!

How much is enough
on the fence 2 replied to Tweety40's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
take it slow. i was also able to eat a whole chobani yogurt or an entire italian ice. once i started on purees like a crushed meatball with sauce you will definetly know what full is. some early signs are pressure possibly hiccups.reading in this forum it seems like there are alot of different feelings to what full is. i will tell you this chicken breast for me was a killer. i felt like a had a golf ball stuck in my chest not a pleasant feeling. its strange some things are no problem at all and then others seem to be troublesome. i just have to remind myself take small bites and eat slow, that seems to be the key. its hard when i have always been a fast eater. -
I am 4 weeks post op today and one of those little sugar free puddings is too much. I can't eat an entire yogurt either. I did eat an entire pudding one time and felt like crap afterwards, so I didn't do that again. When I try something new I always go slow and steady and watch my portion. My eyes are always bigger than my stomach...

For Those at Least 8 Weeks Out - How Much Food is Your Sleeve Holding?
Emilie.Lancaster replied to Pea523's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am in week 7 and I have about 800 calories per day and 80 grams of protein. Today I ate a yogurt, a half cup of school baked beans, a protein bar (zone perfects melt in the mouth as you eat them. I eat half, then the other half) sashimi and some spinach Souffle with nutritional yeast. I'm short a bit for protein today. May sip some isopure here in a bit. I can get about an egg sized amount of food in me in the morning, and maybe a 1/2 cup at lunch. The beans today I know we're only a half cup scoop. I ate that whole thing and was full. I think my stomach is swollen still. It ebbs and flows, some days are better than others. -

my comfort food : Tonight I took a head of cauliflower, boiled it until slightly stiff, then drained it, placed it on a baking sheet, spread greek yogurt mixed with crushed garlic over the entire head, graded some parm. cheese to finish it, then into the oven@ 450 for 20min. Wow! it was delicious! When eating it, I sprinkled hot sauce--just a few drops on . Full of flavor. -
For Those at Least 8 Weeks Out - How Much Food is Your Sleeve Holding?
cbrr replied to Pea523's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 9 weeks out and I'm eating a Protein shake with a banana blended in for breakfast, about a 1/3cup of some kind of protein for lunch, and the same for dinner. I'll usually have an 80 cal yogurt for a snack or maybe some pieces of cheese. I've just started trying to get in some veggies like green Beans or broccoli. I also put some cheese on top of my chicken or whatever to add more protein. I have some low fat swiss that's carb free and only 50 cals. Something else I've been doing is broth with powdered Gelatin in it. That's 10 more grams of protein and 50cals. What I'm wondering is....how many calories were people consuming at this point out? I average about 780/day. I also am not losing weight. I went up a pound last week then finally lost that today but it's been stalled at 243 for about 1 1/2 week. Argggh! Also, sorry to post this in here but I haven't figured out how to start a thread and ask these questions. -
Travel a few months following surgery
Dawn306 replied to CanadaLoser's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
You should be fine. As long as you can find yogurt, you will have something to eat. And make sure you take your Protein shake powders with you. I have travelled with my shake powders and snack bars, and had no problem at customs. At the airport, they wanted to open my shake powder container and they put their "sniffer" in there to make sure it was what I said it was. Other than that - no problems whatsoever. -
What can I do with...Avocado?
Miss Mac replied to Inner Surfer Girl's topic in Regular foods (stage 4)
Avocado - chocolate Mousse from Rachel Ray http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/chocolate-avocado-mousse-recipe.html OK, don't laugh. I tried this and wish that I had known about this in my puree-soft stages. What I did differently: Used artificial sweetener instead of agave, cocoa powder instead of chocolate chips, a scoop of chocolate Protein powder, and I added some plain Greek Yogurt to keep it smooth after adding the Protein Powder. I did not have any raspberries, so I ate it like a parfait layered with lite whip cream. I just threw it together from what was on hand. You could serve this to your unsupportive friends and family, and they would NEVER know the difference if you did not tell them
