Almost 4 weeks post-op with very little weight loss
jlosmile posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've done my best to stay motivated and positive following my vsg surgery. I'm following the guidelines of the NUT and staying between 500-800 kcal daily with at least 60 g protein. I make sure I get enough fluids in daily and exercise by walking on the treadmill. Some days I have over done it on the exercise and had zero energy the next day. I am not in any pain and am able to eat what I want as long as I chew it up really, really well. My meals consist of fish, chicken, turkey or eggs with a daily protein shake, greek yogurt and if I haven't gotten in my protein near the end of the day I'll have some cottage cheese. My question is: why am I not losing weight? Immediately following surgery in the hospital, I was down 10 lbs. Since then, I've only lost one more. Any ideas? I have a 4 week follow up this coming Wednesday and will ask then as well. I hope the fear I had pre-op that I may go through all of this for nothing is not coming true! Thanks for any support and enlightenment you can provide. -
In my opinion no. My doctor never told me to count Cal's. They also know I have Greek yogurt for Breakfast. There's difference however between low fat yogurt and milk, ice cream, McDs milkshakes.

Severe acid reflux/heartburn, 5 months out..help!
SarahRN482 replied to SarahRN482's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So here's my update! I called my surgeon's office this morning and spoke with his nurse prior to my IR appointment. I told her again my symptoms and how I really do not feel my reflux is due to the band being too tight. I told her the only time I have issues is when I eat (literally as soon as I swallow a first bite, the pain is there). I told her that I think I may have gastritis (I'm an RN, so she knows I kinda know what I'm talking about even though I work with heart patient's and not GI stuff lol). I asked her to please talk with the doc before I went into the hospital to get registered and dropped $650 to get Fluid taken out of my band and then that not be the issue. She said she didn't blame me for wanting to try the least invasive treatment first, so that's what we did. I'm currently on carafate 4 times a day, and even after one dose I've had so far today, I can tell a HUGE improvement. Tonight, I had another thought though, while I was TMI!!! on the toilet. I have had MAJOR constipation issues. I have tried everything possible to help, from Miralax to Colace to Sennakot to Fleets enemas and suppositories. I've even started eating chia seeds in the mornings in my yogurt because I've heard that helps. I drink at least 64oz of Water per day, most days closer to 100oz, so know it's not a hydration issue. Before my surgery, I could drink 2 cups of coffee and poop every morning like clockwork. Not so much now! After I had a BM tonight, I felt SO much better. I almost wonder if the constipation isn't exacerbating the reflux? -
How do you get your protein in? I am just started my 4th week post op.
efierke replied to LisaLou30's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tuna/chicken salad, chili (run through a blender it's still tasty). the WW smart ones Entrees, once you're allowed them, are quite good. When I'm coming up for a recipe or looking at nutrution labels I aim for 10 calories / gram of Protein. I don't hit that with everything I eat, but with most things. Yogurt is your new friend - fat free low sugar yogurt is packed with protein. I've also taken a piece of turkey sausage (get the leaner stuff) and fried that up with a scrambled egg. kinda like a "Breakfast bowl" but actually edible -

JamieLogical replied to LisaLou30's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I was on soft foods, it was a lot of eggs and dairy. I was allowed Protein shakes, but I was supposed to be getting 100g of protein in so I was definitely getting 60 or so from real food. I had scrambled eggs with cheese melted on top, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, Shelly's Baked Ricotta, string cheese.... Once I was allowed some meat, I would do shredded chicken (big fan of Jack Daniel's shredded chicken!) or tuna salad. When I was allowed ground meats and legumes, I would do chili or turkey meatballs. Hope that helps some! -

I'm at six weeks and still have at least one protein shake w 24g each morning. Helps me reach goal. Most of what I eat is strictly protein. Eggs, cheese, greek yogurt etc. Today I tried Atkins frozen dinner and it has another 28g. -

Beginning of second week post op what is everyone eating ?!?!
AEdoesRnY replied to Elizabeeth's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Week two for me is basically clear liquids + strained, diluted soup and two protein shakes. Still no yogurt or anything like that. No pureed foods until 8/20! -
Stuck on liquids 5 weeks out!
Orchids&Dragons replied to Krizivester's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sorry to hear you're struggling. Are you doing any protein supplements, aka Protein shakes/protein water/protein powder? You shouldn't give up on those until you are getting sufficient protein from other sources. Can you handle Greek yogurt? It's a good source of protein. How about eggs? Also, since you can handle milk, are you using Fairlife milk? It has more protein than regular. Everyone progresses at their own pace. Lots of people aren't even cleared for solids until 6-8 weeks post-op. Also, don't eat anything solid within 3 hours of bedtime or you increase your chances of reflux and nausea. Hope this helps! -
Soft diet starts today! Blah.
megansmommy123 replied to Mrs.RRn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I felt this way too, and talked to the NUT about it. But she said it was very important to start eating, even just a little bit. For two reasons, first because it will establish a healthy pattern of eating 3 small meals a day. But also because your body NEEDS food, not just protein shakes. If you don't start getting some calories your body will "hold onto" the weight, and you wont lose as fast. You need some calories and fat each day. She said the small amount we eat in the beginning isn't enough to stop the weight loss, but that our bodies really need some calories with each meal. I just started soft foods this week, and have been eating egg drop soup, turkey meatballs, cottage cheese, tomato soup, mashed potatoes, and yogurt. Even if its just a bite or two to start out slow. -
Quick update... I have already made some positive changes to my appearance. I started wearing my hair up aka Britney with the headband and the big ponytail, kind of teased at the top so it gets a bit of volume (aka Amy Winehouse). Started using an eyebrow liner and wearing lipstick (which I never used to do, just did my eye makeup and that's all, bare minimum). I lost 11 pounds in the first week. It went lower then went up 2 lbs and then stabilized. I'm pleased with the result. I must admit that I am weighing myself once, twice a day. I need to stop. I can't remember if I discussed this or not but I slipped up a few days ago and had some teaspoonfuls of nutella (chocolate/hazelenut spread similar to peanut butter). I am back on track now and trying some week2 foods - I had some potato soup, slim fast (with added protein), and a kids-sized yogurt (minigo). I'm finding that it helps a lot and doesn't leave me feeling so deprived. Whenever I drink something, even if it is the first sip or two, I get a heavy feeling in my chest and my shoulder pain starts. I don't get it!! It's hard not to drink air with the fluids, I still can't figure out how to manage to do that - have tried straws, spoons, right from the cup, no go. It's hard for me to tell if I am 'full' or not --- especially with liquids, how much am I supposed to eat? I don't understand. I emailed my dietician and hopefully she can answer that. Anyways that's it for now...thanks for reading. If you have a progress thread you post to, please let me know, I would love to read it!

4 weeks out, but barely any weight loss in the last 2 weeks.... !?!?
NickiTriesAgain posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi everyone! This is my first post or topic, though I've come to really rely on the advice and encouragement I find here. What a wonderful community. My question- or rather my worry- is this: I've barely lost any weight in the last 2 weeks, even though I'm only 4 weeks post op. My first week I lost about 10 lbs., but I wasn't really able to eat or drink much after all the medications. Once they were out of my system, I felt so much better! Over the next 2 weeks, I lost about 6 lbs., but nothing in the last week. The scale just sits and stares at me. Other than that, I'm doing really well- exercising, drinking lots of Water, trying to get enough Protein. I will say that I did not stay on the liquid diet after the first 2 weeks and have moved onto to almost any soft(ish) food, usually high in protein. I can eat chicken, turkey, yogurt, hummus, even vegetables.... almost anything with no problems. Small bites, chew-chew-chew and stop when you feel full. Even though I'm eating such small amounts, the WEIGHT-- it stays!! Is this normal? Will it start to fall off? Are there other people who did well off the liquid/pureed diet or did it bite them in the butt?? -
OK.... I need some opinions! lol For the first 11 days I stayed on liquids. Then for 2 days mushie foods and then I just skipped to soft foods, mainly becuz my blender sucks and I had to chew the food anyhow. So I went ahead and tried soft foods and chew until its liquid in my mouth. Yes liquid! lol.. so I really honestly dont get the mushie stage.. if you chew it until its liquid, isnt it still the same thing? The biggest thing is trying to figure out what is giving me horrible gas? lol, I cant seem to pin point which foods. I eat, scrambled eggs, yogurt, pudding, Soup, cottage cheese, coffee, carnation sugar free Breakfast drink, 1%milk and for the last few days bad cramping gas. grrrr What the heck is causing this gas? I eat extremely slow, no liquids 30mins after I eat. I eat small bites. Anyone experience this?

Just looking for some advice...
squeaker31 replied to ugtalvt's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am also sick of shakes. I have been able to get in 60-80g of Protein without them. Protein meals and Snacks are all I eat basically. Greek yogurt and light string cheese are good low cal high protein snacks. I will say the shakes seem to be more filling if you are struggling with fullness or overeating (which I am also. I am not eating to the point of discomfort but grazing perhaps a bit too much. Seem to get "hungry" often) -
How to stop weight lost.
foodfighter78 replied to foodfighter78's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
thank you! I'm working with both a nutritionist and a psychologist, today was good day I try to eat more, even had pasta, Greek yogurt, and finally some shaved meet with olive oil and lemon. I was able to keep it down. I need to let myself gain some weight and be ok with it. Because I had surgery to have a healthy life with my kids and husband. -

cindyw41 replied to Talaria's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
1/2 cup is normal at this stage. Yogurt does have nutritional values so not much of a slider food. It helps with your vitamins and protein intake and also counts toward your liquid intake. -
Uncomfortable After Eating
Vegasurvivor replied to bluehat's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Its a baby stomach. So try one thing at a time. Try yogurt and if that sits Ok then later try the next soft food. Try sugar free pudding and applesause also is something that goes down easily. Slow down take your time. If your not ready then stay on liquids, broth ect. Make sure your getting in your protein and liquids. Tuna, mashed potatoes and casseroles can come later.

Surgery was Aug 14-going stir crazy
liane replied to kkarl00's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery the day after you and I can completely understand what you are saying. I am done Protein shakes the end of this week and have to focus more on foods. I am excited for some of the items I can have at that time. Right now I eat greek yogurt and cottage cheese. Only 2 teaspoons at a time thought. I can also have a few other things but my focus is protein. Thursday I can add tuna and scrambled eggs and a couple small crackers if I choose. Only a 1/4 cup but may feel full before that. It sounds like you are doing a great job!! Keep up the great work You will get to real food soon enough!! Liane- 1 reply

11 days post op no restriction with liquids at all just tried yoghurt today no issues either??
lzucks replied to New&Improved's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I didn’t feel significant restriction till I started eating soft foods (like eggs, etc). That was a very different feeling than liquids or yogurt. -

lvidacovich replied to New&Improved's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So I'm just ahead of you in the process - I'm 2 weeks 4 days today. And like you I had no issue getting water and yogurt down - even 4 days after surgery I was getting 64 oz in just water, not to mention my protein shakes. But then came week 2 when I started soft foods and I couldn't eat a whole scrambled egg. Then the next night I barely finished my 4 oz of chili (which was mostly 3 oz of chili liquid and 1 oz lean beef). I wondered the exact same stuff you were but trust me, the restriction will come. Just stick to your plan. And don't worry about the weight stall when you start soft foods. I just hit it and got over it (I think and hope). BTW we'll have to chat about Australia sometime soon. Wife and I are thinking of going there and NZ in May for our 10 year anniversary! -

Congratulations on the yogurt. I am 5 weeks post op and was able to eat a few bites of most food, until yogurt. My stomach is now very restricted. It’s so difficult to even drink the water. Go slow, setbacks and terrible
