No it won't stretch you stomach. Next time start with just 1 egg. I was full on 1 egg made with a tiny bit of cheese and greek yogurt to keep them moist for a really long time.

A friends WLS post op diet plan is causing a great bit of a WHOA! for me!
BLERDgirl replied to Stevehud's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
That does sound a bit fast. I've heard of people being transitioned to food quickly, but more along the lines of yogurts and soft foods. My transition was 2 weeks all liquids,>2 weeks purees >2 weeks soft foods. I could probably have done cooked veg that first week. I would encourage your friend to have another conversation with their nutritionist and discuss alternatives to ground beef. -
Just had a weird experience?
TMG1980TMG replied to sarahbethemails's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
1/4 cup of the cashew "ice cream" I had was 8g of sugar similar to light and fit Greek yogurt that doesn't affect me... Never know! I am kinda glad I get dumping syndrome, but when it happens it sucks! -
DILATED ESOPHAGUS LAP BAND REMOVAL
CowgirlJane replied to crustymouse23's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
No, worse eating habits were ingrained during my band years. It was easier to eat chips over whole grain bread It was easier to eat carby food over dense Protein I often felt like my tummy was on fire when I was hungry, so i developed a frozen yogurt/ice cream habit as it was the only thing that soothed me (dummy me, didn't realize it was band induced reflux) I had to reset how I ate big time. -
August surgery updates-where are you now?
sharkgirl replied to ptsmile's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had surgery on 8/31 and finally doing really good. It was discovered 4 days post surgery that I have hypoglycemia so the first couple of weeks were rough and then I had terrible nausea until about week 6. I am adjusting to my new pouch and learning what I can tolerate and what I can't. Not really eating carbs except yogurt, fruit and veggies. Still struggle to eat some meats, mostly because my taste bud. My doctor said the hormone release can mimic pregnancy for about 3 months and was sick the whole 9 months I was pregnant with both kids. I didn't like meat when I was pregnant too. I've lost 36 pounds and am down 2 pants sizes but much more on the top. People are definitely noticing and asking lots of questions. My standard answer is I'm on a strict diet and workout a lot; both of which are too. I've started strength training again, going back to yoga and my stamina while I work out is returning. Life is pretty good and finally don't regret my surgery. -
Day 1 of 2 week Liquid Diet
less_of_me2see replied to rking's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Day 2 was easier than day 1. My surgeon has me on the optifast diet. I drink 3 protein shakes a day, I get 1 protein soup (tomato or creamy chicken) 1 protein bar (yummy chocolate) and one small lowfat dairy item ( Greek yogurt or cottage cheese) along with all the broth, sugar free jello, sugar free Popsicles, herbal tea and water I want. I don't feel like its much of a diet but its only 900 calories -
Worried I can't do the pre-op diet!
tmcx28 replied to Castillo15's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have the same fears. I start my liquid diet on the 21st so I've decided to ease myself in to it and I'm starting now replacing my breakfast with a shake, eating cottage cheese or yogurt for a snack, I'm hoping this helps make it easier for me. -
Hi...I am 62 years old, sleeved at 58 years old and I just had my 4 year surgiversary. I reached my goal weight of 139 exactly one year after being sleeved (lost 84 lbs) and have been at goal for 3 years with a bounce of a couple of lbs up and down. My daily diet now is about 1300 calories that I eat, or 1600 if I have wine which I do several nights a week. I usually have Greek yogurt with fruit and a little granola for breakfast, or my favorite corn crackers (not rice crackers!) with cheese or salmon. Lunch is always a small salad with 2 corn crackers. Except for Monday and Thursdays (my NO WINE NO COOKIE DAYS) I always have a coffee and a cookie in the afternoon. Dinner is chicken, fish, maybe meat but not so much, and a vegetable. More if we are entertaining. If I gain some weight I do the 5:2 diet for a week. (If you don't know it, just Google it). Hope that helps! I love my sleeve and I love my life.

Are you eventually able to eat anything?
Kindle replied to heidikate's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did mostly protein and veggies while losing but never completely gave up fruits and whole grains. Stayed away from the white carbs while I was losing. Once I hit goal I loosened up my restrictions and at this point pretty much know what I can eat without gaining. I eat every 2-3 hours but stop before I get full. If I do pop over my bounce range after an especially carb heavy vacation or holiday I just do a couple days of "preop liquid diet" and/or protein/veggie basics and it comes back off. I guess I do keep track of my fluids in my head and get 64-80+ oz in every day. As for protein, I eat a Quest bar and drink a protein smoothie every day. That's 40-50g protein right there so it's not hard to know I'm exceeding 60g with all the protein rich foods I eat. For example, besides my quest bar and protein smoothie, today I had turkey Jerky, Greek yogurt with Kashi go lean Cereal, a banana, some peanuts, cheesy chicken corn chowder, quest chips with Avocado and garlic salsa, Brussel sprouts, two Hershey kisses and a mini twix from the Halloween candy jar. -
You have to eat and drink whether or not you feel like it. I am basically living off of yogurt, tuna, chicken and cheese.

How much can you eat?
toasty replied to sarahbethemails's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@sarahbethemails I didn't see, how far out are you from surgery? @@glitter eyes At 17 months all of that sounds great, but for someone a few weeks out I can't imagine eating that volume of food. Maybe that's just me? I'm 7 weeks out, and I can eat about 1/2 container of yogurt, maybe 1oz of chicken or fish, 1/4 cup of chili, etc. -
Yogurt, Milk - Dr against both for several months
livvsmum replied to HopeandAgony's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That would have been tough for me at that stage. Greet yogurt was a staple of my post-op diet. It helped a great deal in reaching my Protein numbers. I still have it several times a week -
Nervous
IncredibleShrinkingMan replied to jessicamanus23's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did not do liquids, as he didn't ask me to. I lost 20 lbs in the two weeks of pre-op, but I cheated like there was no tomorrow (and if you think about it, that was reality). I had pizza four times, Italian sausage twice, clam chowder once, Belgian fries with all the dippings twice, and fell for Chipotle once. The rest of the time I had high-Fiber Cereal with greek yogurt, or else some extremely lean meat. I was sure to workout like hell while this occurred, because exercising was a lot easier for me than staying under 1000 calories a day (which was the requirement...and by the way, that is still hard now three months out, but I am losing weight just fine). There were no problems with my liver, and I was 286 (44 BMI) at my final pre-op appointment. Instances of cancellation are rare and occur in extreme cases (hundreds of pounds heavier than you or me), so I would take this day to relax and get in the zone...you've done it, and psychologically, you should be on the other side already. Congratulations. -

Yea!!! Your not getting good sleep in the hospital, I was exhausted when I got home. You probably won't want to drink much when you get home either, you just have to make yourself. Have a safe trip home!Thank you, been HOME, been struggling to try to get in everything that I need to drink as far as water goes and protein and the vitamins. I was kind of out of it at the hospital but I remember my surgeon telling me that on my third day which have been a while back now and I haven't done it but he said something along the lines of being able to have sugar free jello sugar free pudding low fat cottage cheese low fat cream soups that have been strained yogurt with no edible fruits in them granted he told me all this when I was in the hospital and under heavy medication at the time still and I'm trying to remember if I heard him right because it doesn't seem like that with anybody else is doing I has bypass and I could have creamed soups, all clear broths teas etc, s/f Popsicles/jello, yogurt no chunks. My post surgery diet was not all liquids. Cream of wheat was even on my list, it just had to be runny. I can tell you I tried yogurt, didn't sit right. So I stick to soup, decaf tea, jello and pops. I will advance my diet hopefully tomorrow after my two week check up. My nutritionist gave me a binder with all my info including sample meals. I would check with your dr or NUT to get more info. It is a lot of information to digest couple with vitamin intake. I do get two protein shakes in mosts days, but I have yet to hit 64oz of fluid combined. -
This diet seems like BS and I am pouting
Ray92 replied to forgetit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@forgetit The rumbling and grumbling is acid. It took me a few days to figure it out but you will find that it will rumble and grumble and eating something will not make it go away and you will feel too full to eat that thing anyway. I find that herbal tea and yogurt really helps with that sensation. Also people on this forum are EXTREMELY helpful, positive and supportive. I wouldn't write this place off so quickly. What you are feeling is natural, heck there are some moments in the day when I feel pretty down about not being able to eat carbs, fried food etc. But this is a choice I made and I am not going to take risks with my health which is why the surgeon's nutrition plan is essential. When I am craving sugar, in my mind I also secretly think the diet is BS but that is just a silent mini tantrum moment. The feeling passes very quickly. We are human, we get emotional and now more than ever you will feel that way. You are melting away hormones that were stored in fat and you also have to in a way, let go of a crutch or comfort if that is what food meant to you. We all have a weakness for food, this is why we are on this forum and this is why we did the surgery. It is natural to feel angry and sad in these early days but let's have a reality check moment here. The surgery is already done, its irreversible and there is no point in getting yourself worked up about it. Instead focus on the positive things. Everyday things get better and soon you will find yourself 6 months down the road and all these feelings will be a distant memory. -
How much can you eat?
glitter eyes replied to sarahbethemails's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My intake depends on what it is. Here are a few examples: Two scrambled eggs One chicken thigh(sometimes can eat a leg too) 4oz of salmon/fish 4oz of steak One Greek yogurt One package of turkey Jerky Two cheese sticks One package/pouch of tuna on a half of low carb wrap One Protein bar Three beef/pork ribs One crab cake Things I can eat a lot of: pretzels (yummy) Popcorn chocolate I try to avoid these most of the time I am 17 months post op and in my maintenance phase. Also, some days I can eat a lot and other days not so much. It all seems to balance out. -
This diet seems like BS and I am pouting
perk4756 replied to forgetit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 5 days post op too and can barely drink a half can of broths day half a yogurt and only one bottle of water. Have added unflavored protein to all. Until today felt like razor blades when hitting my stomach. So myself I would be afraid to stray from the diet -
Yogurt, Milk - Dr against both for several months
ttdish replied to HopeandAgony's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This (but not the yogurt/milk restriction) sounds very similar to my post-op plan. I was really nervous about having solids so soon, since it's much different that most other plans I've read about, but I have to say, when I see so many posts about people being super miserable on their clear or full liquid diet for WEEKS post op, I'm really glad I had the plan I did. I never felt hungry or deprived, I had a super smooth recovery and my loss has been great! I followed my plan as written, and never had a single episode of nausea or vomiting. I'm now 9 weeks post op, and feel like I'm eating like a fairly normal person, just very low carb, and small portions. But yeah, to allow cottage cheese, but not yogurt, and to group cows milk and almond milk into the same category is just... Odd... I hope you get some good answers that help clarify things for you. Please report back on what they say, as I think many of us are curious! ~*~ Find me on YouTube: Trisha's Sleeve Story ~*~ -

At 6 Wks be going home for Christmas. They don't know! What can I eat to blend in?
jobillandjosh replied to itstimealready's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is what I do for people I really don't want to explain my WLS to. I've run into this a few times already in small settings like a group of 6 where it can be noticeable. If we're having pizza, then I put a slice on my plate, cut it up here and there and and then I also get like a yogurt with Protein powder or something and eat that while the pizza sits there. No one asks why I haven't taken a slice and they see me eating. I'm usually able to throw my plate away. No one noticed or at least no one said anything. No one pushes food on me. A win I can live with. -
61 and Getting Sleeved 9/15-need a hand to hold!
VSGAnn2014 replied to Missy Ellen's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
At five weeks post-op I was eating salmon, refried beans, yogurt, cheese, chicken, coffee lattes (with skim milk), even a Taco Bell Chipotle loaded griller (I have no idea how I got that down, but it's recorded on My Fitness Pal during Week 5, so I guess it really happened). I'll warn you that I apparently have the sleeve of steel. I've never thrown up. So I don't know how typical all that is. But I do think at 5 weeks post-op you should be eating regular food. Maybe not Taco Bell, but at least chicken, soft fish, and maybe some broiled colored veggies. Maybe you should have an endoscope and see what's going on down there? Good luck to you! -
I was scared too. I puked up a scrambled egg but I could eat thin slices of cheese. You get a bit better everyday. Go slowly. Eat yogurt. Chew thoroughly.

If you're talking a vaginal yeast infection and you don't want to mess with creams, you can ask your doc for a pill called Diflucan. Just one pill and it clears it up. If you're having repeated infections, I'd try upping your probiotic intake with yogurt, kefir, fermented foods or supplements.

I am still on the full liquid diet and I'm getting tired of the protein shakes already. I tried some Greek yogurt with protein powder mixed in earlier today and it didn't settle well on my tummy. Anyone have any suggestions on different things I could try? I love savory foods and all the sweets are becoming a little much for me.
