A year later and still having a hard time. Need your opinion
2Big2Skate replied to sweetlia's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
All the problems you list COULD be related to the acid, which isnt that abnormal. It would be a good precautionary step to get some imaging done just in case. But if your surgeon is confident, then it's your call whether you want a second opinion. Acid can swell up the esophogus and slow down the movement of food. Does it get better when you take the acid blockers? Does it feel like food is stacking up before the stomach (intense, focused discomfort)? Are you chewing things up really well and eating slowly? If you get imaging that shows youre structurally fine, then I'd work with the choice of foods. Work with your nutritionist to find foods that don't trigger the acid. For me, I couldnt touch yogurt for 3 months. But now I'm off the pills and love yogurt. -
I was told to cut out caffeine during the pre-op diet and up to six weeks after but don't know why. I did not drink it until I started the puréed stage and now I have it maybe 2-3 times per week. For me, I don't do artificial sweeteners so the sugar/creamer is bad too. But I noticed that a tall caramel macchiato with skim milk has the same calories & sugar as a Greek yogurt I was encouraged to eat plus 10 grams of protein. I don't usually eat breakfast - coffee was always it for me.

protein intake and weight loss connection ! please advise
Inner Surfer Girl replied to Reem Ashraf's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you are a month post op you can probably get most, if not all of your protein from food. You don't have to have protein supplements. Salad doesn't have protein and is probably too hard to digest this early out (if by salad you mean lettuce and other raw, leafy vegetables). Can you eat Greek yogurt, tuna, turkey, cottage, cheese, etc? All of these foods are good sources of protein. You have to get enough protein to both heal and lose weight. What does your NUT advise? -
I'm on my 3rd week. I had the gastric bypass. I was so sick of eating broth, & now get to eat yogurt, cream soups, cream of wheat etc I'm trying to still stay at the 200ML that the hospital was giving me. So far it's ok, some days I'm super hungry & other days I won't really eat all day. It's tough to not over eat. I notice I get really hungry when I'm cooking for my family. The smell of food I can't have really gets me. I notice if I eat my soups & drink my protien shake on time throughout the day, it's easier to smell food without wanting to give in. Now I just need to work on excersize, getting up & motivating myself. Good luck everyone

Aussie girl sleeve Fri 28 August!
smileygal replied to smileygal's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
6 days on -eating about 10 teaspoons of puree twice a day plus porridge for breakfast and yogurts for snacks - as well as 1.5L water - mainly with a bit of cordial. All going well. Minimal pain. Plenty of energy. -
(Greek) yogurt and scant amounts of cheese are the only things on that list that I eat. Frankly I would be more strict and add in protein bars and potatoes in any form -- not just chips.

Protein drinks
ShrinkingPeach replied to emilyphoenix74's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I make a frappuccino every morning with one scoop vanilla Protein powder, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, ice, a squirt of folgers drops and a splash of sf Torani white chocolate syrup. Total calories= 175/ 25g protein I like the Jay Robb brand, I get it at the Vitamin shoppe. I like their vanilla and their strawberry, haven't tried the chocolate. SF torani syrups are great, I get those at Costplus World Market. You can also add greek yogurts to the shakes. Look on you tube for the video that shows how to eliminate the foam in the blender. It comes from air when the blender isn't full. -
Post Sleeve Nutrition
ShrinkingPeach replied to LoosingIt67's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Most of those foods are on my nutritionists list as okay. That being said it is: 2% cheese Peanut Butter is okay in moderation since it is high fat and I watch brands for sugar content coffee Add-ins such as creamer is higher in sugar and some people drink a little coffee with their creamer Greek yogurt in and of itself is high sugar but the Greek 100's are excellent pretzels and chips are a slider food, they don't fill you up and are empty carbs Baked goods, sweets and pudding are high sugar and fat. SF pudding would be a better choice if you gotta. My nutritionist and surgeon say for me to get 60-70g of Protein and no less than 900 calories at this point. I am to eat 3 meals and 2 Snacks. I don't have to count the rest as long as I get protein first, non-starchy veggies second and starches last if there is room. I do a Protein shake for breakfast on the go, lunch is 3 ounces meat and 1 ounce veggies, snack is a Protein Bar, dinner is 3-4 ounces meat and 1 ounce veggies, evening snack is 1.5 ounces fruit. Other than my protein shake in the morning I only drink Water. It is all about the choices we make. Good luck! -

I assume they mean the sugary kind of yogurt with all the extra carbohydrates. -
According to the article here, there are foods that need to be avoided by sleevers: http://www.obesityhelp.com/articles/be-aware-of-creepy-calories cheese Peanut Butter coffee “add ins” Yogurt and granola Cereals/Cereal bars/Granola bars pretzels chips Baked goods Sweets puddings I'm a bit astounded by Yogurts. I've been having Yogurt (Fat Free Oikos, plain greek) with a soft boiled egg for Breakfast for the past 2 weeks. I've been losing weight. Since when have greek yogurts become bad calories, my doctor recommends them in his food plan. I also would like to open this topic up to nutrition, what do you eat throughout the day? what do you drink? Do you count calories, fat, carbs and Proteins? Inquiring minds want to know. -Happy Losing!

I am 4 months out and struggle with food portions quite a bit. Some days 1/2-1 cup is plenty but other days I am still hungry or 1/2 cup is way to much. I've found that it also depends on the food that I am eating. I am able to tolerate Soups, yogurts and fluids/shakes a lot better than other foods. They key is also eating slowly and allowing your brain to realize that you've eaten, feel full and satisfied. It's hard and I find that I have to pace myself still. It's easy to get back into the habit of eating quickly again. Definately a difficult habit to break. Oh and keep up the good work!!

Anyone have trouble getting enough calories?
rnsamantha replied to mataz78's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
How far out from surgery are you? I found for the first 4-6 weeks I was at 500 or less. Now I have started to get some hunger back and am working out. I typically eat between 700-900 daily now. I'm almost 10 weeks out. I do have to eat some snacks (cheese strings, yogurt) during the day in addition to my meals to get the calories up. I also drink a protein shake daily. My surgeon would like me to eat 1000 calories/day, but I find that hard to do with healthy choices simply because of stomach space/timing issues with water consumption! -
Seeking suggestions for post-op meals
smileygal replied to BeeGirl's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi Bee girl. For clear fluids I had a lovely clear chicken broth that was yum and lots of protein as well as sugar free Gatorade. You should also be allowed jelly but I didn't want to risk the solidness of it. Free fluids much easier - you can have protein shakes, smoothies with protein powder and drinking yogurt. I also managed a yogurt ice cream very slowly. When I started puree, runny porridge was yum, then I basically chucked whatever meat and veggie casserole the family was having into the blender. Just a few teaspoons was enough in the early days. The best news is you don't feel hungry and do feel full very quickly. Good luck !! -

I feel like I am starving
saflo438 replied to kaylie428's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am now 3 weeks post op. Went back to work after a week which I am thankful for because towards the end of the first week I was losing my mind. As someone else said, sugar free ice pops!! Oh my goodness did those help!! And I also didn't start puréed till 2 weeks out! My first 2 weeks were water, isopure juice, broth, and sf pops and sf jello. It was intense!! Now I can have puréed which is anything that is really already "chewed" for you. I really like egg drop soup, which also contains protein! Yay! And Oikos makes a 15g of protein yogurt. Once you go back to work, hopefully that keeps you busy! I totally feel ya. Keep busy, and think about why you did this. It's not going to be easy, but it's going to be worth it! Good luck!! -
September Sleevers
ExcitedNana replied to ANewMe9/21's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've got my sheets in the dryer now. They gave me a special body wash to use tonight and tomorrow morning and said to sleep on clean sheets tonight. All the laundry is done. Washing the bathroom rugs now. Funny how you get the nesting urge. At least I don't have to buy a lot of groceries! Tonight I'm going to my grandson's first football game of the season. I'm hoping it will help the nervousness. I took all my measurements and will take a picture tonight at game. I'm stocked up on yogurt, pudding and Protein drinks. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 a.m. Surgery at 7:30. The Dr gave me a patch to put behind my ear to help with nausea after surgery. I've never heard of this but it makes sense. I'm to put it on tonight. That way it will be in my system when i get out of surgery. -
Lunch ideas
IncredibleShrinkingMan replied to brandeett's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Following the Protein first rule, here goes: Grilled chicken Greek Yogurt Soft veggies (you still don't want really crunchy stuff at this point) Low-fat cheese Low-fat dressing And if you have room...maybe a cracker or two to satisfy any carb craving you way have...like wheat thins. You probably won't get to it anyway. -
Surgery on August 18
IncredibleShrinkingMan replied to athurm's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
If you are allowed to have fish salads and eggs, opt for those (they will provide more satiety). Save yogurt and other dairy for the end of your shift if that is the concern. -
Angry and depressed and STARVING!
LuckyStar replied to Violet S.'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@Violet S. hang in there. Maybe you are throwing up frequently because you are consuming foods your new pouch is just not ready for. chicken for one, can be very heavy on the new stomach. This is why we are encouraged to eat tender thigh meat and not the white breast meat we may have learned to love so much. I find I am also frequently hungry and am not sure why since I eat according to plan on scheduled times with Snacks in between (applesauce, yogurt). Im also not sure if the hunger means that the new pouch is stretching out, so caution when serving portions. Oh and yes, there are weight stalls, I believe this is perfectly normal for those who are eating regularly around the clock and not relying solely on liquids and Protein shakes as their only meals. Hang in there it gets easier as time passes, I too was miserable for a few weeks -- but since surgery Aug 3, I seem to be healing slowly and feeling better. Good luck with your weight loss and with this process in general. -

I want to try the cream soup. I do the protein shakes but sometimes its hard to get all the water in. I cant wait to see all the changes. -
HELP Dumping!
Threetimesacharm replied to Sunshine3073's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
If you are only a month out it is waaay to early to be eating chicken, it is one of the hardest foods to digest. You should be having soft fish and beans for protein, cottage cheese, yogurt. -
I drive thru McDonald's almost every morning for a low fat yogurt parfait!

My doctor is having me eat pureed foods already 3 days post op. Is that normal?
Beachsprite replied to Kaitlin89's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was on yogurt and apple puree 1 day out 2 weeks out i'm still on purees but more blended meat with soup I'm also having some of that soft pretend crab meat stuff which is going in fine. Sadly after surgery I am now badly lactose intolerant so all my planned shakes and Greek yogurt are off the menu. -
Have you tried Isopure? They have some good favors, sip on it through the day, 40g protein in the bottle. Also unjury, they have un-flavored that you could mix into yogurt or creamed Soup. Good luck!
