What were you eating 3-4 weeks post-op?
TES replied to light_lady's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
PS--this is pretty similar to what I ate at your stage. I also did some mushies like refried beans with cheese and added unflavored protein powder to soups (cooled down a bit to avoid clumping), sugar-free hot chocolate, or Greek yogurt (more palatable to add half a scoop to that much Greek yogurt). You could try ricotta cheese too and I did vegetarian meatballs by Morningstar mushed up in the ricotta with a little marinara. At 3-4 weeks I could only eat 2 to 2.5 meatballs and now I can eat 4 or 5. Your stomach is still very swollen. I didn't feel like mine was normal (new normal) until about 4 months out. -
I am 4 days post op. Up until now I have read everything quietly in the background never commented. I just wanted to say what a lovely supportive community this is. I had a nurse and my dietitician warn me away from the forums because people can be really negative and it won't help the healing process. But this thread proves them wrong. Thanks for being so supportive and human!! Jfcarjr.... I'm still struggling with the water sips. But it is starting to get easier. Just finished two tablespoons of yogurt and didn't have any issues... of course I used a baby spoon and just coated it and took a good 15 minutes to finish. But no pain in the process. Chin up!! We will get better and it will be all worth it when we can wear the new clothes we buy and look fabulous!!!

Cereal/whole Wheat Toast/pasta/rice
Wgbem replied to lovely29's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I usually eat a cup of Special K cereal with skim plus milk (it has more protein) for Breakfast with a greek yogurt. I eat occasional brown or small wheat Pasta. I don't like it so it is not too often. Definitely an acquired taste. -
I had a swallow study...soft or liquids pretty much goes straight through into the intestines. Add some nuts or granola to make it stay for a while. I do fage yogurt all the time for breakfast and am 4 months out. With some fresh cherries.

Thanks all of you for your support and advice! I spoke with my Nutrionist today and I am going in tomorrow morning to get some out. The clincher was last night I was up all night with acid reflex and could not sleep. It was horrible. I think I am making the right choice...it took me almost two hours today to get thru my protein shake and I tried a yogurt for lunch and I had a difficult time with that. I am just PRAYING that I will get some relief. This is not anyway to live...I feel lethargic, depressed, frustrated and at times hungry but too scared to eat. I hope everyone agrees...Please pray for me...this is not a great way to feel...thanks!

Measuring Portions
mesaucedo replied to sid_n_reagans_mommy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started doing that in the beginning but I work at a dining common here at UCSB and I eat about 15 of meals there a week, they are free or greatly discounted, so now I don't. I never finish a full serving though and eat until I am satisfied -- not full. I still measure things like milk and yogurt and whatnot when making shakes. -
Trouble With Lunch!
ProudGrammy replied to franfaith's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
franfaith I love cottage cheese, yogurt good luck kathy -
Try different powders. Some mix in better and taste great. I also mix in fruit or Greek yogurt with my protein shakes. Blend it well. Also, try unsweetened almond milk as the base liquid. It is a bit thicker and very low in calories and carbs!
-
What is the reason you're not eating, appetite, discomfort, fear.... Have you tried greek yogurt which has protein, or greek yogurt smoothie. Flavored Ricotta cheese. Sorry I'm not being much help.

Not losing-plateau, I don't know, wrong foods, maybe, what do you eat day to day? Help!
2muchfun replied to donna12's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Every food you mentioned with the exception of cheese, meat and eggs are loaded with carbs. Beans, oats, flour, yogurt, ice cream, lean cuisine etc are loaded with carbs. There are apps, programs and books everywhere that define and provide nutritional values for all foods. It does sound like you need more fills. And you're pretty much where I and many others were in the early stages of our journey. No worries, restriction and the green zone will come if you continue to get your fills. I would highly recommend you sit down with your nutritionist. It really helped me and I'm a know-it-all who thought he knew-it-all but didn't. Made all the diff in the world for me. tmf -
Not losing-plateau, I don't know, wrong foods, maybe, what do you eat day to day? Help!
cheryl2586 replied to donna12's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well my question is why are you only eating chicken? I would get burned out too. I dont do carbs either because I cant lose with carbs. Where is your veggies and fruit. Eggs with fat free cheese, greek yogurt, protein bars with no sugar in them, tofu, good cuts of beef, diced ham, chicken salad, egg salad, tuna salad, black bean casserole, salad, shrimp, crab meat, taco salad without the shells, there are many recipes for high protein low carb meals on allrecipes.com Some people can eat carbs others can't. I am one that can't. There are so many foods out there that are good. Some days I only eat a half of cantelope. On those days I eat a protein bar or some lunch meat or a hard boiled egg. If I get sick of salad I take some lunch meat and cut it up finely add some tomatoes and banana peppers. It fills me up and works. If I ate the same thing every day I would get tired too. Make a veggie omelet out of your eggs instead of just eggs. You have to get creative with food. I have a good recipe for black bean casserole if you want it. PM me and I will send it to you. -

Shakes Making Me Nauseated ?
Kime-lou replied to Joy1961's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did. I had to start mixing mine with other things- like half a Protein Shake with a half cup of yogurt. I was told by my nutritionist that to much Protein at one time can cause nausea. It helped me to just cut mine with yogurt or milk (1%). -
My surgery was November 9th and I still have not had a bowel movement. I drank two 8 oz. protein shakes today and a little yogurt. Is this normal not to have a bowel movement by now?

Next Step: Mushies. What Are Your Favorites?
TeenaD replied to LapBandSoccerMom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow I'm on mushies, and I'm not allowed mashed potatoes or ground meat. Boo for me! I have been eating a lot of scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, yogurt, oatmeal. I do pureed chicken and salmon at dinner, but...yuck! My favourite mushy vegetable is peas. They're actually good. -
My Diet Tolerations
ashleytn replied to JordannChristina's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm only 5 weeks out, but I get hungry every 2.5-3 hours. I will have half a Protein bar or yogurt or cheese as "snacks". My eating schedule is 8:00-breakfast..ham & cheese crustless quiches 11:00-lunch...3 oz deli turkey and 1-2 laughing cow light Swiss cheese 2:00- snack And dinner is not always I set time so I only allow myself one "snack" per day. -
@@beckyparks what does your pre-op diet consist of? It's normal to feel a little weak and light headed as your body is going through a bit of a detox at this time. Though I am banded I found that what helped me was to be doing something every hour. If I wasn't having a shake I was drinking Water, on my pre-op I was allowed to have yogurt and fat free sugar free pudding. You have to make this at home with fat free milk and sugar free pudding mix but it gives you something to occupy yourself while making and it's good. I would wake up and start with usual cup of coffee, but had to switch to decaf on pre-op. Then I would move to my first shake of the day around 8 then I would have some water at 9 and then some yogurt at 10 more water at 11, or decaf tea or coffee if I need a switch up from the water. Even a sugar free ice pop now and then breaks it up and gives you the "crunch" factor. if you can have Soup I would make that my lunch and dinner "option" on that hour and then shake shake shake and water water water. I made it through my 2 weeks. It was the full of Clear liquids that made me a bit bonkers but I made it through. Just keep yourself drinking and eating something and your tummy won't know your hungry cause you will always have something in there. Gum is another awesome way to chew without eating!! You got this!

Still Waiting someone HELP
Jdubsvn replied to SemperFiWife's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just started tuna fish and scrambled eggs today, mainly been eating yogurt and mashed potatoes. I go back to work Sunday so hopefully walking around more will also help my cause... -
I have a meal plan from day 3-6 of yogurt, unsweetened apple sauce, cream of wheat, oatmeal, etc. Day 7-49 is when I can eat tuna, chicken, deli meat, cottage cheese, etc. Of course I am going to follow the doctor's rules, I'm curious to see if everyone has stuck to their plan. I bought hummus, watermelon, crystal light, laughing cow, string, feta and babebel cheeses. Today I had oatmeal for breakfast, half a protein shake for midmeal, a slice of deli meat and a babebel cheese for lunch and I seem to be keeping it down. I'm so impatient, I want it to go away all now! I walked around Sams club shopping today and I am pooped.

4 Weeks Out Feel Like Crapp!
Ljp replied to weight_no_longer's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on July 16 & still hv problems drinking fluids. I do real good with meats but still hv prob w a lot of food. Today I tried to drink Crystal light, very tasty. I brought tht to wrk today & only that, Big mistake. From my chest dwn to pouch, i hv hurt all day...just like I hurt after surgery when I first started eating. It wld be a miracle if I got 8oz of fluid in by the time i got off wrk. I hurt everytime I took a drink today. Its strange! But I know it will get better & so will you guys. Have you guys tried SF jello or popsicles? Lowfat yogurt? -
I've tried.... 3 different brands from Walgreens Bariatric Advantage from online Pure Protein from Trader Joes And.... I've finally found my love. Blue Bonnet Protein!!! It mixes well, all natural, not gritty, doesn't separate when it sits, no artificial additives. Even mixes well with my yogurt. It comes in vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, blueberries and original. Super high in protein too. It's a little pricy. I pay about $50 every 2 weeks which consist of one container of vanilla with 14 servings for $33 and 8 single packages.. additional flavors @ $2.65 each. Its so yummie is rather drink my shake then eat actual food. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 3 mons post op. CW: 164.0 lbs. --- Only 14 lbs to my goal ---
