Weightloss has stopped at 8 wks post op
maggie409 replied to diamondtammi's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Do you measure? If the scale isn't moving, seeing the inches drop helps as encouragement. Also for me, I have noticed if I focus on my protein I do better. The more protein I get from real food, the better I lose. I have baked dark chicken meat that I keep and snack on it in between waters or have a Greek yogurt. Everyone is different so just play with it and see what works for you. Good luck and you will do great! -
I'm on mushy still, adding a few soft meals. I eat yogurt, cottage cheese, egg salad, tuna w/mayo, I also eat tilapia fish, and had shrimp. I have fruit too. Blue berries and black berries. One other thing I've tried is spicy bean burger. Awesome. I needed to add some things that were hot to feel normal. The only thing that's not agreeing well with me are the protein drinks. Too sweet, not going down. And once I do get it down, I'm immediately running to the bathroom. Ive cut that down to 1 a day.

July Sleevers! Let's chat!
beuTwithin replied to beuTwithin's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Hello all a quick update. I was sleeved on Jul 9th. I feel amazing no pain gas gone and dropping weight. My HW 343 SW 333 CW 323 that's a 10 pond lost in 5 days not the best but definitely progress. My struggle is definitely getting the required amount of liquids. Once I do 4 ounces of Protein shake that's sweet I try to sip Water but then I have that nasty taste so I try crystal light can't get much of that in because it's sweet. I can't stomach plain Greek yogurt so I tried Greek 100 flavor yogurt I can get about 1/3 of that down before either I just don't want it no more or I start burping crazy (a sign of being full I guess) then by the time I wait to drink I'm really not thirsty or my sleeve that I call Minnie starts to cramp so I don't want to drink either. But overall I feel amazing. Let me know how yall ate doing post op. Tiff -
Be strong you can get through it. I had my surgery on June 29. Although I have been able to tolerate foods. My emotions have been all over the place as well. I had regrets, but I also had to pray and realize that this was the best decision for my life. You can do it. Where are you located? Hello hun I'm from PA. I do believe that in the long run this is the best. What types of things are you eating. And how much. I can not tolerate chicken... Tuna is OK. And egg whites r OK. Cream of wheat is OK too. But we shouldn't have that. I have eaten mash potatoes, baked Beans, livermush, thin grits, and eggs, I have eaten tuna, and tonight o had chicken salad. I have also had yogurt,cheese, and a piece of turkey meat, apple sauce. I don't have much when I eat because I don't want to waste food. Just a little bit to see if I can handle it. My doctor had me on a liquid diet for a week, then puréed for a week, then soft food for two week, and then a normal diet. Right now I'm on the soft diet.

Is not wanting to eat at all normal
scarletwitch19 replied to Phosphate's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Feel the same way. I'm on week 6, and never want to eat. Even since I can eat soft foods, nothing is appetizing. I know some of that is probably me having a bad attitude, but I just have no desire. I always have my 2 shakes, yogurt, lunch and dinner every day, but it can really feel like a chore at times -
Super Nurses With Sleeves (Support Group)
HousecallsNP replied to Need-a-Sleeve's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Stacy1204, I am a NP house calls provider and I know your pain. I see at least 6 patients a day myself. I am in the process of my 3 month supervised weight loss period now. I pack a cooler from Thirty One. It keep cool my protein shakes from Adkins as well as cheese sticks, V8 juice (6 oz cans), yogurt etc. I put a refreezable pack in with them and keep it zipped up unless I'm getting something out. I also freeze a water bottle that half full and finishing filling with water in the am for the day. It lasts practically all day. I hope to be sleeved but not sure if my insurance will pay for that procedure...may be having RNY....or lapband is my last choice d/t my bmi. Hoping all goes well in September. I know you will do great!!! Rhonda -
So I'm two weeks out... I was 290 before surgery!!! I'm currently 268 so I'm down 22 lbs in 2 weeks. I'm starting soft foods and kinda lost of what to have... I don't eat fish or seafood of any kind including tuna, hate cottage cheese. Been having eggs, lunch meat. Was told I can have steamed boiled vegetables... I so want some cooked broccoli and cheese!!! Also I hate yogurt... tried finding sugar free custard at walmart last night but didn't have any.

For breakfast I had an English muffin with peanut butter and coffee. For lunch I had 3oz meatloaf and 1/2 cup cottage cheese. Snack one high protein frozen greek yogurt ice cream bar. Supper will be Mahi,Mahi,with mango chutney, rice pilaf and broccoli

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? -
I have tried a few different individual packets of whey Protein with greek yogurt, milk, muscle milk and Water and every time - and every single time i have one - two sips my stomach is KILLING me. It's not a full feeling, it's pain and discomfort. Has anyone else had this reaction? I was trying to save some money/calories by going to powder instead of continuing with pre-made shakes like muscle milk but it's seriously painful, to the point where I want to leave work and go to bed. I'm not trying to punish myself by continuing to try it - I just want to find a way to make it work. but maybe I'm just intolerant for some reason. Thoughts?

Mayo in your tuna salad or egg salad?
Julie norton replied to Karlnjax's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sometimes tastes change in the long haul. I used to like mayo, but now it does not like me much. Really unclear why, but with every year post op, things change some? Avocado agrees with me, so that can be a substitute for some. Others mention cottage cheese or yogurt for alternatives. We all keep adapting... If we didn't, we would not be successful IMHO -
Ranch dressing...never again!
BigViffer replied to lucky1gg33's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You don't have to go plain. I am one of those people must have a sauce or dip for just about everything. I know it stems from my childhood. Mom made pork and chicken dry on purpose. Fear of trichinosis back then meant everyone overcooked their poultry and pork. But I digress; I don't want the empty calories of condiments now. You can get the common hummus flavors that works well for veggies, but I have found some stores that have more options in their hummus. Spinach & Artichoke, White Bean & Basil, Curry, Sun Dried Tomato, Cilantro & Jalepeno... some really awesome stuff! But I have to say my favorite combo is the one I found first. Deli roast beef, swiss cheese, and horseradish hummus. The meat, cheese, and bean combo makes it Protein packed. I don't bother with bread or tortilla's or anything like that. Roll the meat up in the cheese so that your fingers stay clean and dip it into the hummus. Hummus has been a life saver for me. Prior to surgery, it was just hummus and pitas. I recently started buying plain Faget yogurt. I tried it right after surgery but my taste buds were not ready for it. Now it reminds me of a super soft cream cheese. I can mix sugar free coffee flavorings to make a desert yogurt. I can add spices or herbs to make a dip. Don't be afraid to try new things! -
Two Weeks Post GB. Doing TOO Well. Nothing Seems To Make Me Sick.
gbveteran4d posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So, I'm 15 days from my surgery. I haven't lost any weight in the last week. And nothing seems to bother me. I'm eating soft foods, but have also had little bits of regular food here and there with no issue. I guess I expected it to be a more drastic change. Here's what I can eat now: Jello, two eggs mashed up into egg salad, mashed potatoes, hummus, yogurt, pudding, Soup (including egg drop soup), cottage cheese. The only thing I threw up was a piece of meat that I didn't realize was mixed into an egg omelet. But otherwise I feel like I'm still consuming a lot early on, and not really losing weight. It's really early to "plateau," but I'll continue to monitor any changes in weight. I may end up becoming the first bypass patient to gain wait before hitting the one month mark. -
No appetite 3 weeks post sleeve
rnsamantha replied to lisemaria's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had my surgery June 25 and am in the same boat. Getting 70 g of protein a day by drinking 2 protein shakes (60g) right there. The protein shakes go down easy, but food is another thing altogether. I can eat about two oz of cottage cheese/yogurt/lentils etc. and typically need to walk after I eat to help it settle because I get nauseated. If I eat too fast of more solid foods (ie egg, fish) I vomit. I'm getting just over 500 calories per day, and just managing to get 60 oz of water in total. Glad to know I'm not the only one having issues! -
I'm on solids and not quite tolerating the food all that well either. I feel sick and just want to vomit. My cousin joked around and called me bulimic but it kind of struck me that what if that is the road I'm going down? Hopefully not. I think I should go back to yogurt / Jello as well, but my surgeon said he wants me to eat "regular" foods now. I hope you heal quickly <3
-
I've wondered the same thing. I'm still struggling to eat slow and I'm not tolerating soft foods as well as I thought. I'm going back to my cottage cheese and yogurt tomorrow.

I went back to an active, physical job 7 days postop. I work 10 hour days. On my feet all day, lifting, bending, squatting, kneeling. I was on liquids for 18 days postop, then pureed then soft foods until 6 weeks postop. I also don't take a lunch break, so I just made sure I had plenty of Protein smoothies, string cheese, Quest bars, Greek yogurt, etc. to snack on in between appointments. Adding fruit to my protein smoothies helped with my energy level. I was definitely wiped when I'd get home, but had no problems working my regular shifts. I did have a 20 pound lifting restriction for 3 weeks that I had to work around, but then was back to lifting the normal 40-60 pounds. In fact, my work partner had a hysterectomy a month after my VSG and she had an 8 pound lifting restriction so I was pulling double duty for all the heavy physical stuff starting 4 weeks postop. And besides work, I was able to feed and care for 4 dogs, 3 cats and 2 horses without any help.

Food Serving Size
Mobeans63 replied to nuzzlebear40's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm just 1 week out and could add yogurt, applesauce and digit mashed potatoes thus week. I have absolutely no trouble eating 1/2 cup of anything mushy. Is that bad? -
Today was a total food fail! I'm almost 5 weeks post rny and graduated to soft foods last Friday. It's been going good with no problems until today. I went shopping with a friend about 2 hours from home. I tried an omelet for Breakfast at a cafe. After about 3 bites of egg with cheese, spinach, and tomato and toast with Peanut Butter it all came back up. Then for supper we went to Olive Garden. I had grilled salmon and garlic mashed potatoes. Again after a few bites it all came back up. I did have applesauce in between with no problem and yogurt on the way home. First time anything has made me sick. I've had eggs and mashed potatoes without problems so not really sure what caused it unless it was how it was cooked. Not a very good day.

Newbie looking for Oct sleevers!
Kathy812 replied to Marielbx's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@@lauriedunn1, I usually have a quest protein bar a day (21g) and delish! I also have 80 cal lite n fit Dannon Greek yogurt (12g) protein, a babybel cheese snack & turkey jerky (16g) and lunch is usually chicken, turkey or steak which meats can be high in protein. Talapia is very high in protein. Etc. I usually have no problems getting in 80-100grams a day and my calories are about 1200 a day. I didn't mind the vanilla protein shakes from premier but I didn't love them either. I much prefer to eat my calories then drink it. But in your case, since it sounds like it would be hard to eat them, get the protein how you can. That's the most important thing. -
Yes, I experienced it more so in the first couple of months with high sugar or high fat foods. Still can't tolerate drinkable yogurt (high protein but high sugar). It has faded a bit for me though. Or maybe I'm just better at avoiding triggers.

What is on the menu today
maggie409 replied to chunkyloverlovesyou's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I had a Greek yogurt -
It has been a lifesaver for me post surgery in helping me get in my protein. I mix it with yogurt and with protein shakes. It's great!

Is everyone out there on 2 week liquid diet post op?
Bufflehead replied to halfpintvsg's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Seems like every surgeon has his/her own version! Mine was: 1 day clear liquids 4 weeks full liquids (true liquids, not things like yogurt) 4 weeks purees 4 months soft food And those are just the food consistency rules. There were a whole bunch of other rules about what kind of foods to eat, how much to eat, how often to eat, etc. Really, though, everyone else's plan should be completely irrelevant to you. You should only care about your own plan.
