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!! -

Am I eating too much ? Am I eating too much? Protein drink in morning 1/2 cup yogurt Protein water 16.9 oz throughout the day Protein drink made with 8 oz soy milk I feel like I don't know if I should have the protein water and soy in addition to the 3 protein drinks and meals or if it's too much!

Taking Time Off Work?
oneproudpappa replied to Drcalhoun's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I have lost 50.5lbs in 6 weeks so I must be doing something right. I suggest buying Quaker instant oatmeal in large container. ( it's cheaper than the individual packets and is sugar free) Reduce the serving directions from 1/2 a cup to a 1/4 cup of oats and add Water until it covers the top of the oats. (you can't eat a 1/2 cup or you will burst ha ha) Microwave for about 80 seconds and keep an eye in it because it may overflow. Once it's cooked I added 1/4 cup or so of low fat sugar free strawberry yogurt to sweeten and just a pat of butter. (I also added 2 tsp of milled flax seeds) That was my Breakfast every day and sometimes dinner. It tastes great, warm and soothing. Good luck -
My lunch bag is a sad place right now
motherof5 replied to JenWith's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I used to LOVE chocolate anything pre-surgery. I have some chocolate icing in my kitchen right now for my hubby's cake. But, I did not open it. I keep protein bars handy for snacks time and frozen yogurt almonds in the freezer for the T.O.M. cravings. But I am amazed that the chocolate monster in me is tamed, for now. But I noticed that almost 4 months out, my sweet tooth finally kicked in. -
My lunch bag is a sad place right now
par1959 replied to JenWith's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
The lunch bag gets better with time if you get creative. However, it much easier to stay structured during the work week. I generally eat most of the same stuff, but do change it up. Recently I dumped Greek yogurt for a protein shake and fruit which is my standard breakfast. I make a big batch of chili every couple of weeks for lunch. Have developed a high protien low calorie recipe which I have not gotten tired of. As for chocolate I can live without it. One thing we all have to remember about the holidays is to not start up with our old habit such as grazing. I notice one poster say she has allowed herself all the chocolate she wants in December. Sounds like a scary idea to me. I made that same deal with myself with Scotch. Now I am finding it harder to say NO to scotch. But it has to go. -
I am not a big fan if Greek yogurt cause it tastes sour to me but I need more protein so I bought several kinds today at wal-mart. I found a new one called Yopa light plus soooo dang good! It's 160 calories and 18 g of protein. I got the low fat vanilla with chocolate and peanut butter crunchies. I may never eat anything else lol

Omg Yopa is the best! 18 gr protein too
thicvik replied to XXShelXX's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thank you XXShelXX I follow you everyday to get ideas on what to eat, I am 8 days post op and today I started my full liquids. I will definitely try that type of greek yogurt. -
3 weeks out and I can't stop eating!
SleevedJune62013 replied to vsginkc's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I called it my "last meals tour" in May. I tried to fit in all my favorite meals before surgery. I've been off carbs & sugar since June 4th so I find it easier now to use my meals as nutritional intake opportunities. The mini stomach helps of course. Protein first. Lots of liquids, then if I have room left for a craving I get a sugar free snowball or no sugar added frozen yogurt. -
Bowel Movements....
steelergirl replied to SoonToBeThinKAT's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I have Greek yogurt..it helps me..almost everytime -
I eat a plain non fat greek yogurt with a piece of fruit in the morning. Danon makes an 80 calorie and about 12 g of Protein. lunch is either turkey or chicken slices rolled with either sliced avocado, laughing cow cheese, dinner can be salmon, shrimp, chicken, beef (usually the protein from whatever the family is eating). Snacks are 1 percent cottage cheese, lowfat cheese sticks, low fat Peanut Butter, a Morningstar veggie burger. Nightime I usually have a 100 cal. 17 g of protein EAS protein drink.

I don't use yogurt, but at times I add ice, and I mix all my shakes with skim milk not a fan of all the air and froth, so i just use a strainer to strain my drinks. the air bubbles will get caught in the strainer or will just go away/liquify. you can also try letting your shakes sit in the fridge to settle. but because i'm always on the run i use a strainer

How Do You Know If Lactose Intolerant?
jennrus posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For a while i had major runs so stopped protein shakes with milk. For a week. Today had one and been running to bathroom all day. Yet yogurt doesnt bother me. -
I have been skipping the yogurt for mine and they don't get as thick. I have unjury choc splendor and mix that with 8oz of skim milk. It bubbles up but it will settle after a few minutes. In the cafeteria where I work they will make smoothies for you and they will put my protein into them so I use the BA vanilla protein with 8oz of milk, some banana and blueberries, it gets thicker than the unjury but not too too bad.

I'm supposed to be on clear liquid for a week and then all liquids for another week then pureed food for another week.. I was wondering, since I can't really drink much and I've only been on clear liquids for 4 days, what would happen if I start drinking yogurt 5 days post op? I've noticed some people were on clear liquids for a few days, I've done lots of research and it seems ok.. but I just wanted to get other opinions. Looking for ANY way to get more protein in.. thanks in advance!

Pre-Op Diet (Cdn Version-T.O. Lap Band Clinic
Woodys replied to Doriana's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Listen to the professionals Doriana. In my opinion....if they are instructing you to do something then there must be a very good reason for it. We can tell you whatever you want to hear......but you should be talking, and listening, to the professionals who are conducting your procedure. I was banded at TLBC in TO. I had to follow the pre-op for 2 weeks in order to reduce the amount of fat around my liver and stomach....it was explained to me that this was to help make the procedure easier and safer. I don't like cottage cheese so I had a real problem with the fast. My husband is a Chef and he helped me. Everyday he would make me cottage cheese and low fat yogurt smoothies. 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup yogurt, 1/2 to 1 cup ice, and 1 - 2 packets of sweetner (to taste) Everyday was a different flavour...sometimes he would add real vanilla, or a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder, or a couple of tablespoons of unsweetened jam......he would whip the heck out of it in the blender until it reached a nice smooth thick consistency of a smoothie......I SWEAR...IT WAS LIKE DRINKING liquid CHEESECAKE! Give it a try, it helps. But please, the Drs plan is for a reason, don't second guess them and do as they request. Good Luck Carol -
Pre-Op Diet (Cdn Version-T.O. Lap Band Clinic
Doriana posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello, I will be banded on Nov. 23rd. This morning I had cottage cheese for Breakfast and will replace one meal a day till about 5 days till my pre-diet start. I know a few of you have been banded at the T.O. Lap Band clinic. How important is this pre-diet... they say we could only have cottage cheese, low fat yogurt (I'm assuming the one's with fruit are okay as long as it's sweented with splenda or alike) Hubby is on the pre diet right now since his surgery is a week before mine. He's having a very hard time with it. Is it normal to have diaherra? (sp?) Is it okay to take a multi-Vitamin? (They say yes, but I wanted to make sure) Do you get over the headaches? This is why I thought I better try to replace one meal a day, so my body gets used to this pre-diet phase. Also, I've read alot of different threads and people are given a very different diet for pre-op? What's this all about? Wouldn't it be the same diet for this Lap Band procedure? I'm just a little afraid of the thought of passing out one day... I know I won't, but I was just worried about it, since I"m so used to eating throughtout the day... (I guess this is why I got to be this big)....:think Anyways, if anyone could send some more advice on this pre-diet phase, or just somes words or wisdom................ Thanks for listening. Doriana. -
Get ready to rumble!
kimba6999 replied to ShelbyLynne710's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was on Protein drinks from day 2 after surgery. The day of surgery i could only have ice chips but by the next morning they started bringing me Protein Drinks, an ounce at a time. Its weird to hear that u guys r all doing liquids for the first few days but no protein. I try to stay away from fake sugars. I use stevia if i need to sweeten. I do eat some yogurt with fructose in it but stay clear of the fake stuff. By day 5-6 i was drinking 80-90g of protein and getting in almost all of my water. Do most doctors start u out that way? I was pretty much healed by 4 wks and was able to go to the gym and exercise as long as i didnt strain my ab area. I have lost 104lbs in the last 6 months and doing good. I have noticed in reading that so many doctors do it so differently. I love the team i have and they have had major success with it. Good luck to all. -
Premier vanilla (30 grams)... My tastes changed after surgery so I had to force them down but it's easier now. I'm experimenting with skim milk/yogurt/fruit/protein smoothies now and getting more protein in with foods. It is hard but worth it!

Am I wrong to feel this way?
Oopsseedaisy replied to hopeandfaith's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Wow 53 pounds ... what a birthday present for yourself. You are following your doctors guidelines and the results are showing. We can't control other peoples actions only our own. I am glad you listened to your body and stopped eating the new yogurt when something did not feel right. Your sister in law should have listened to your daughter and not insisted on a sugary celebration. A card, movie or a water bottle would have been so much nicer. I sure hope you are feeling better soon! -
I just might give up caffeine for good
Finding Erika replied to hmills653's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Dreamingsmall- the other thing I meant to say - sorry- this is getting long- is that you really need to eat breakfast and lunch- if you're skipping meals then that's probably why you're stalled. Your body will hold on to weight if it feels like it isn't going to be fed- even if it's just a yogurt or glass of milk - get your metabolism going in the morning by have something when you first get up. Your metabolism won't start up it's engine until it's challenged by food (or a liquid supplement like milk or a protein shake)- otherwise you're telling your body to only metabolize for half the day- and you want it to burn all day- it's your "fat furnace" for lack of a better term Anyway- I hope that helps- it will make a big difference if you have something every 3-4 hours - and that means protein- Keep it up! Just eat more [emoji4]
