Wednesday I will be 10 weeks out and I felt like I could eat a house today. I had a yogurt, my protein drink, chili, baked lays Cheetos, do I need to go on... YES... Please don't yell at me, Reese's peanut butter cups, a sip of sprite, 4 oz chicken breast and some salad and water. Did my stomach grow back or something. I don't understand. This is by far the WORST day ever for me. Wtf did I do to myself.

Question regarding post op
kll724 replied to beced's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Welcome. Most surgeon's have us doing clear liquids for the week immediately following surgery. Then we move on to full liquids. After full for a week or two, we move to mushy. Mushies include stufff like yogurt, baby food, or food that has been pureed in your blender. But, as previously mentioned above, follow your Surgeon's guidelines. These are what OUR surgeon have told us. Best wishes, Karen..aka..kll724 -
Only lost 10lbs - WTF
tebowfan replied to Roostertail2's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Did you try the chocolate lean 25 protein powder? I drink one ever morning and it's really good. I also prepaid water bottles each day with SF Hawaiian punch powder pouch. This helps me want to drink water. No at a lite & fit Greek yogurt 80 calories, which has 12 grams if protein, I then eat chicken for lunch and then more chicken for supper or another shake. I love sf bluebell Popsicles for added water intake. I tried oatmeal early on like you and had big problems with it. My doctor told me it's not an easy thing to eat early on. I ended up around week 4 or 5 finding out the intestine was to small and dr went in with scope and dilated it making the opening wider and I have had absolutely no problems with anything since. My surgery was May 7th. Let me know if you have any other questions:) -

I am post op day six today of my gastric bypass. Is it normal to crave what my family is eating this early? When reading about other post ops they all say that they don't want food. I'm drinking carnation instant breakfast and Special K shakes for my protein. I also eat yogurt and take my vitamins but sometimes I get so hungry in the evenings. This is somewhat harder than I thought. I'm so scared of messing up. -
I'm really having a hard time with that yogurt. I love Greek yogurt, however the plain non-fat has a taste that's difficult for me to acquire. I must say that I have never used it in egg salad or tuna salad, and I might give it a try. I could never eat it plain....YUCK! Thanks for the tip about the tunal salad, I will give it a try next time.

I love Fage 0% Greek Yogurt add a tablespoon of peanut butter and honey. It's so good and a great way to get protein. I stay full for a long time after eating this.

Today is day 12 post op and my biggest issue is stomach irritability, I guess is the best way to describe it. It never stops and is quite uncomfortable and embarrassing. When empty it is calmer but with any food whatsoever it's obnoxious. I know it has to be gas but I rarely pass any, more likely I will have diarrhea. It's loud, rumbly, and at times painful, but always uncomfortable. Of all the things to be concerned with, I know this seems trivial but if someone could give me some guidance, I'd sincerely appreciate it. I'm to the point that I'm abstaining from food too much. I know that's not right and need to fix this. So far, my soft foods are eggs, Soups, and yogurt. My shakes are Premier Protein. I'm always able to make my Water intake.

My nut says that the quantity progresses until you are six months out and that the first six months is when you lose most of the weight you have to lose. During the 1st month post op my nut says 1 ounce at a time up to 6 times per day. During the 2nd month post op my nut says 2 ounces, 3rd month post op my nut says 3 ounces, 4th month to 4 ounces, 5th month to 5 ounces, and the 6th month to 6 ounces. The number of times per day is supposed to scale down as the portion sizes scale up a bit. I am a little behind schedule because for awhile anything over 1 ounce made me throw up. I am closer to 2 ounces and just over 2 months out, so I am following their guidelines the best I can. At 4 months, that is a half cup (4oz). My nut and surgeon require that we measure our food and not eat more just because we can, as that can lead to stretching your pouch. All of these measurements are for dense Protein - like chicken. If you are eating things like refried Beans and yogurt, then the quantity *can* be larger without causing pouch issues. I have been doing 2 ounces of greek yogurt for about a month now. I try to stay away from anything that isn't super dense because it tends to have less protein and I am having a hard time getting to 60 grams per day!

pureed foods?!
Inner Surfer Girl replied to fau2nvy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I didn't have a puréed stage, just a soft food stage. I ate a lot of cottage cheese, yogurt, refried beans, pudding. The second week of soft foods I could add soft fish so I had salmon, tilapia, and tuna. -
After VSG, what is something you have to help you feel human!
kim2002 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm almost 6 weeks post op! My eating options are SO limited right now, there are a couple of things I crave on a daily basis....I LOVE McDonald's Unsweetened Tea w/Splenda. I get a large and sip it over time! It's a lot and I'm getting in plenty of fluids!! (Water makes me vomit, twice last week) Also I'm loving my Greek yogurt, it's sweet enough to feel like I'm having dessert!! What are your must haves? Kim -
Having Trouble Eating
Teachamy replied to LumpySpacePrincess's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wish I knew how to help you. The stress you must be feeling with every fiber of your being! My only thought is to do what you can to relieve some of the stress, and think of the food as medication you need to survive. Keep whatever you can see as the most palatable on hand and quick to grab--yogurt cups, protein bars, string cheese, anything. You need the calories/protein and the fluids or you'll end up in the E.R., which will only make matters worse. Sending some cyber love your way. Hope it gets better soon! -
Refried Beans are GREAT during this phase. I melt a tiny bit of fat free cheese on top and add a tiny dollop of fat free sour cream. Bam, you've just eaten taco bell! (lol) Also, my surgeon's office said that a meatball with a little sauce and ricotta is good. Tuna, yogurt, cottage cheese, soft fish are all great choices. My fiance actually made me puree'd butternut squash with some seasoning, and it was great! Get creative, or you'll get crazy!! Good luck

Has anyone changed there eating before surgery?
MsBear replied to neesh's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
At my first evaluation with the nutritionist, she put me on a 1600 cal. diet. Since June 1st I have lost 37 lbs. My Dr. requires a 2 week liquid diet to shrink my liver. My banding is set for Oct 6th, so I started the pre-op diet yesterday. It includes 3 protein shakes, 1 sm SF, FF yogurt (no fruit), 1 cup Campbell's 98% FF cream soup, 16 oz. skim milk & minimum 64 oz. SF clear liquids (SF Jell-o, SF popsicles, broth, & Crystal Lite type drinks.) So far I haven't had a problem with it, but it's only day 2. I might say differently next week. LOL -
Hi everybody. I started my pre op liquid diet and I’m 4 days in. It’s not easy. I feel lightheaded and have no energy. I try to keep busy as much as possible. I drink protein shakes, jello sf, O% fat Greek yogurt and homemade soups. I can eat puréed soups as well right? Like broccoli soup or pumpkin soup. Why are all pre op diets so different? Some can eat lean meats or fish. Would it be really bad if I just ate some cooked tuna or chicken? Btw my surgery date is Oct 12

I found some frozen Greek yogurt at the grocery store today. Adding skin or almond milk and protein powder would qualify as a protein shake wouldn't it? I'm on day 10 post op and will be starting protein shakes on day 14. How much do you drink at once? (my plan is for only 2 ounces at one time, but also states you can do this every 15 mins)

Urgent.. in desperate need of encouragement and advice ????
2babutterfly replied to Butterfly512's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
At 7 weeks your body is still healing. Your band isn't providing restriction yet so unfortunately it all falls on your choices right now. If your doc has u on solids already try more protein at lunch. I would be starving if I just had a yogurt. I usually need a 3:00 snack of some kind Try not to go over 4 hours without some sort of protein..maybe this will help the starvation monster until you get restriction.....plan, plan, plan. Everything you will eat that dat including snacks...that helps me. Chin up You can do this!! -
Healthy choice Greek frozen yogurt is good - creamy and low sugar. I have one whenever my husband has his ice cream.

1week post op 72 oz fluid/day
SerendipityHappens replied to Wags's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I drank 80 ounces my first day post op! My IV wasn't working right and I was getting dehydrated so the doctor reluctantly told me I could try rehydrate orally.. though he didn't think I'd be able to drink that much so early on. I had no issues drinking other than some spasms during the first few days if the drinks were too cold.. My first day out of the hospital, I could drink 16 ounces of chicken broth in one sitting and drink a whole bottle of water or gatorade. On day three post op, I was drinking some herbal tea and I accidentally took a three swallow gulp.. and felt nothing..... No pressure, no nothing.... I felt like you, I was happy but also worried because I was different than most people.. It was just because I didn't have inflammation in my sleeve so it was open.. Even when I started on things like yogurts and cottage cheese, I could eat more than most people.. I didn't really feel real restriction until I started eating chicken and meats. -
Starting my mushies today!!!!!! Some things on my list say to purée and some don't. I kinda thought we had to purée everything right now. For instance, it says I can have yogurt for breakfast. Do I need to throw it in the nutri bullet first?

Just wondering.
OutsideMatchInside replied to northcountyr1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My tastes have not changed but they have came more extreme. Things that I was lukewarm on pre-op like scrambled eggs, I hate post-op. Never liked yogurt, despise yogurt now. Loved fish before, really love fish now. -
Pumpkin spice anywhere!?
cbonet replied to melbell2222's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You can but pumpkin spice in grocery stores inn the spice section. I get it in Natures Pantry. I just made my plain far free greek yogurt with pumpkin spice and .5 Splenda. If you brew coffee you can add it to the grounds and then brew. -
Random sneezing
Kimba Maria Wiggins replied to april_MKZ's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This just happened to me recently. I was on the bus and I was randomly sneezing and I didn't know why. Normally I would eat my breakfast (yogurt) on the way to my destination but this time I didn't and was sneezing until I got off the bus and ate my normal breakfast. -
I dont see why not, thats whats in the yogurt that we eat. I would take them :-)

I don't want to eat!
Debbie Jean replied to amyecpa's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yup, poor little tummy has been sliced, diced and definitely not in the mood! I focused on Protein drinks, greek yogurt and Water. Didn't meet targets for awhile but just kept at it. Hang in there, it does get better ☺️ -
The programs are all so different that it really depends on the preferences of your surgeon/team. I received a whole bound book covering what is and is not allowed. My program requires protein shakes, clear liquids and greek yogurt for the first two weeks, advancing to pureed foods after that for the next 4 weeks.. On purees, I can have chicken, fish, beans, tofu, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, some cooked veggies and fruits well as the clear liquids stuff. They want 4-5 meals per day consisting of no more than 1/4 cup of the above. I also have 1-2 protein shakes to meet protein goals. Unlike many on here eggs, oatmeal and avocados are not allowed. I go back in 2 weeks and then start solid foods. I am a little worried about the proteins because the pureed ones are a bit hard to get down without adding liquid (broth, yogurt, mayo) to the food processer. I did some pureed baked salmon yesterday that was great!! Good luck!!
