Why is this ALL I'm thinking about now!?
FeelinGood2015 replied to KalelsWifey's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
No I absolutely cannot eat anything at this point. I found THAT out a few days ago when I got cocky and decided since I was doing so well, I would try and eat some soft pork chop. Small bites. Chewed really well. TOO EARLY. I had my first dumping event that lasted for three hours! It was horrible. I would go throw up, come back to my desk (I work from home) and sit for about 5 minutes, and then I would need to throw up again. THREE HOURS! I was taught a lesson by my body. And believe me, I heard it! So I am on the mushy/soft food phase, which is where I am supposed to be. Soft scrambled egg with a little cheese, refried Beans with cheese and guac, yogurt (I LOVE the Dannon Light and Fit Greek Whips! The lemon meringue tasts JUST like a real slice!), egg sald with light mayo, mustard, and a little dill relish, skim milk... I am fine to be here for awhile. What's really cool is that I do not miss the sodas, or my beloved sweet tea. I was a fiend with both of those and now I don't even think about them. So that's a plus. It does get better and having lost 22 pounds now, I am happy with my decision and grateful I get this chance to be healthy again. -
I started yesterday. So I think I've wasted $50 on Un Jury protein:( I ordered a sampler of Syntrax nectar packets and it actually tastes good. That Un Jury tasted off/funny. I have 3 shakes a day, sugar free Jello and some sodium free chicken broth. I've had lots of Water. I can have 3 servings of skim milk, plain yogurt or cottage cheese a day. I don't like yogurt or cottage cheese though and my surgeon wants me down 15 pounds in the next 10 days so I'm thinking I'd better stay away from the milk because the carbs would add up.

Worried I don't/Won't have restiction
Bndtoslv posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am a revision patient. I was sleeved 2 weeks ago. I don't feel hungry, have been measuring my food and have lost a lot in the past 2 weeks. Maybe 16lbs? Anyway I am so worried because I hear of people only being able to get down 1-2 ozs at this point. I can eat 3-4 oz of purees no problem. I haven't felt pain or anything with eating - only a once or twice a twinge or something. Once or twice a bit of nausea from eating. I am on purees and I have eaten baked ricotta, yogurt, egg salad, refried Beans and even soft mashed fish. Is it because I am on purees that I don't feel much more than a lack of desire to eat? -
4 months post op~ had a very bad eating day and am in a lot of pain
kyleebean posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
First off, I know I had a bad day yesterday and ate a lot of things I shouldn't have..... I guess it was my eating disorder rearing her head....And I will deal with that. That said, I am in horrible pain that started last night. I had popcorn in the morning, some frozen pizza for lunch and frozen yogurt later..... I have been having pretty severe abdominal pain and back pain . It's almost like bad diarrhea pains but I don't have diarrhea and the pain is also in my back. I'm worried it could be my gallbladder although I don't know because I have never had issues with it before. Does anyone know how that feels? -
My surgery date was the 26th. Like you I suffered from massive nausea until the following Wednesday, 4/1. My doctor said that some people respond differently. He gave me Zofran (I think that it the name of it for nausea) and it finally worked. In the first five days after surgery I had nothing but Water because I could not keep a popsicle down. He went ahead and moved me to first stage mushy foods (yogurt, cream broth, v-8, smoothies) and since then things have been better. I am still suffering from gas and indigeston occassionally (hope that goes away soon). My doctor said that if the nausea did not stop they would have to do anothert x-ray to check for blockage. Not to say this was the best way to lose weight but I had lost 14 lbs 6 days after surgery. (probably all water weight though). :frown:256/:unsure:242/:thumbup:145

I agree with others that the best way to manage carbs is to avoid them completely. The good news is that, if you're not consuming any (non green veggie or dairy) carbs, you don't have to worry about fat and calories. At least that's how it works for me. I can eat all the cheese, salami, jerky, nuts, yogurt I want, and still maintain or lose. Get the carbs out of sight, detox your body, and treat this like you just had the surgery. You might even try 2 days of liquid, 2 days of soft, and 2 days of semi-hard foods to "reset" your sleeve/pouch/band. Good luck!!

I have tried Greek yogurt, eggs, refried beans, baby food fruits, green beans. All things like that. Today I held down eggs & a little fruit. Haven't puked one time yet today. Some days are excellent and some days are terrible!

I'm transitioning off soft foods into regular now so for the last few weeks I was having: Breakfast - greek yogurt or low fat cottage cheese or scrambled/hard boiled egg lunch - pouch of tuna or salmon or 2oz low sodium/low fat lunch meat and a low fat string cheese dinner - tilapia baked in a foil pouch (keeps it moist and soft, change up the flavor by adding different herbs/spices), ricotta bake, canned chicken, shrimp and if room an ounce or so of soft cooked non-starchy veg - carrots, green Beans etc I still did one Protein shake a day to make sure i got enough protein.

I have deli meat and cheese almost every day for lunch. I roll it up and put it in a non-stick skillet and warm it up until the cheese melts. Almost every morning for breakfast, I have a Dannon Lite and Fit yogurt and a Morningstar Farms veggie sausage patty. That gets me 22 grams of protein first thing in the morning and in an amount that doesn't over fill me.. Add the two ounces of Boars Head Ever Roast Chicken Breast and an ounce of low fat cheese fixed like above and I'm at 41 grams of protein. Chicken or fish for dinner and I'm at my 60 grams for the day. It's not easy, especially if it's a day that I don't feel hungry. But I'm pretty OCD about my protein and my water (80 ounces a day) ????

Having trouble drinking all the protein Shakes, anyone found protein pills?
Oregondaisy replied to coreyandbrett's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Yeah, they come in chocolate too. I may have to break down and buy some . I want to order some whey gournet peanut butter and chcolate from netrition too, and the shipping is 4.99 for no matter how much stuff you order. Those crisps sound good to put into yogurt. I use Greek yogurt, because it has way less carbs and more protein but it would be good to add a little more protein. -
Having trouble drinking all the protein Shakes, anyone found protein pills?
SouthernSleever replied to coreyandbrett's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
What is giving you trouble? The taste? Do they settle bad? I couldnt' find a good tasting one so I bought the ottawala protien drinks and I take 3/4 a serving (not a bottle) blend it with 1 cup goat's milk but any milk would do fine, 1 tbs of yogurt and 1/4 a banana then I add some ice and voila it's yummy. Here are the stats This is for 1 serving. Like I said I get about 3 shakes out of a 2 serving bottle. 220 calories 4gm fat 27 carbs 18 protien Plus you have to add in your info from your milk/banana/yogurt. My goal is to be between 800-1000 calories/day eventually so this might be too many calories for you. You can always dilute it down with more skim milk and ice but it works for me. -
yogurt, applesauce, cottage cheese, pureed chicken salad, pudding and baby food are what my team suggests. i've also got recipes for shrimp spread, pinto bean dip, white beans with rosemary and garlic, greek style egg salad and pureed cauliflower I can email to you if you want.

I'm Desperately Hungry!
StevieSmithtown replied to marimar's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The procedure was, by far, the greatest thing I ever did for myself! I have dropped just over 30 lbs in a few days shy of three weeks and I'm eating fish, lentils, black beans,Greek yogurt, cottage cheese and protein shakes. Every doctor is different but the end result is the same: we save our lives. -
What to expect in a year?
NY Lou replied to 2feelgood's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
im 10.5 months out and have lost over 100 lbs. today I weigh 184.5 lbs and ive been inbetween 181-185 for the last 2 months so I think this is the weight im going to stay at and im ok with this. to answer your question, I can eat about 6oz to 8oz of food at each meal. this fills me up and leaves me very satisfied. if the food is dense, like steak or Pasta, its more near the 6oz. if I eat salad and softer foods then I can eat about 8oz. on rare occasions if I add in a soft desert like a greek yogurt or some no sugar added ice cream as a treat, I probably have eaten 10oz. hope this info helps, but im sure if you ask 10 people this question youll get at least 5-6 different answers. -

Not that Interested in food
Healthy_life replied to Separ1418's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I get food cravings at times. It's manageable. I keep healthy options for sweet and salty foods on hand. (make sure they fit your plan) Sweet - fruit dipped in sugar free caramel/chocolate syrup. Dannon light n fit yogurt. Skinny girl raspberry vinaigrette on a chicken strawberry salad. Salty- Jerky, veggies dipped in hummus or chicken fajitas. Food may be a chore at first. Real and head hunger will return. Eat real whole foods to hit your protein goals. It will help you feel more satiated. As you progress you will be able to consume more food.(especially sleeves) Eating shakes and bars for meals is not sustainable long term. Keep them on hand for times your on the run and cant get a meal in. Some recipes to help get out of food ruts: This is my dietitians website https://insidekarenskitchen.com/recipes/bariatric-friendly-recipes/ -
I'm only 12 days out and I completely understand where you are at. Right now, while following the post op diet (and don't forget, this part is about healing safely, not losing weight), it's a mind over matter thing. Find something to do. Come up with some novel sugar free drinks to have between mealtimes (I bought an infusion pitcher and made my own cucumber-melon Water (much more interesting than bottled stuff or plain water). It's a full time job right now to work on getting in your fluids and Protein. Maybe go to the grocery store and hunt down some more interesting Soups that you can have for the next week or however long you're on full liquids. If you only have a few choices, you will be super bored. I also hunted down more interesting protein sources. I found a kefir that has 16g protein/8oz (cultured milk probiotic drink, basically a thin yogurt). I found it kind of fun (maybe interesting is more appropriate than "fun") to read labels and really look at the sugar and protein in various yogurts and soups and whatnot. Time spent prepping for your next stage is never wasted. Good luck and keep up the good work! You'll make it!

Shopping Today..advice
littlerlou replied to littlerlou's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You were allowed to have that in the first week post op? My doc said clear liquids..but then said coffee was ok with sugar free sugar and creamer,...then said Yogurt was ok..as long as it was thinned no lumps (so any yogurt as long as it doesnt have lumps?) Im wondering why everyones post op diet is so different. -
Thanks so much. The smoothies didn't come out the best. I tried an orange one and a strawberry one with yogurt. Did NOT like the yogurt in it. So, I'll be experimenting with the leftover strawberries this afternoon. I'll add the Protein in it as well. Hopefully, I can figure SOMETHING out. he he he Psst....I haven't weighed myself yet today. And I'm not going to!!! he he he

no fill restriction..anyone else???
Flowerpurr replied to shrinknme's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am having some of the same issues you are. I got banded on July 15th. I have had no fill yet but I feel pretty restricted. When I eat solid food only though. When I eat yogurt or more liquid I am fine it's the more solid food that I can only eat an ounce at a time. You are probally still swollen. So give it some more time. The Dr. won't give you a fill if you tell him you are already having issues with eating now. My Dr. said one of his patients didn't need a fill for 9months. Also try drinking more water. I seem to be tighter when I don't have enough water in my body. -
Impatient hombre wanting to borrow some of your wisdom.
TXMissy replied to Dub's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Those first few days I just ate because I thought I was suppose to. I had low fat yogurt and a cup would last me 3 servings, I couldn't drink milk preop so I just kept unsweetened almond on hand to Water down pudding and yogurt. chicken broth was good but very small amounts like 2oz was more than a meal, Protein shakes were good but even those I watered down with almond milk. I love Quest bars, my favorite is Peanut Butter and jelly. At first you may not be able to eat them. I am 3 months post op and just recently started eating regularly. You'll find people really don't care if you eat or not. At first it was awkward for me, but really people don't care. If they order in sandwiches eat the filling. I just eat what I can when I can. I was home for a week, second week was rough, but I managed. I was very tired. I'm not sure I would have been able to take a full 2nd week off because I started getting antsy sitting around the house. I was wandering outside walking to the corner and back which is only like 3 lots. The more walking I did and still do the better I feel. When they let you walk, walk. I was given some clothes, I had a few different sizes and I just bought clothes is smaller than I had for the first time. I wish I had more time to exercise, but my level of motion has increased so much. I use to not be able to put my socks on with out struggling. Now I can do it standing up. I'm about to join a new gym, I'm hoping to shed more weight through exercise. I think the biggest surprise is my ever changing body. I have been this size before but I don't remember feeling like I do. I feel amazing. Good luck to you!! I hope my answers have helped. I wish j would have done this 5 years ago!! -
How is this for easy. Smooth Greek toasted coconut yogurt (1/3 container) with dollop of dark chocolate pudding. Satisfies my dessert craving and adds some protein to my diet
