Happy Sunday everyone. I wanted to share my story so maybe others can not experience the same thing. I am on my third fill, 6.5 ccs in a 10-12cc band. I went to Walmart for some groceries. Boyfriend wanted some chicken from the deli. I hadnt eaten since 11am and it was nearly 7pm. So, I figured I would get me some popcorn chicken. Seriously, they are the size of a penny. They come in this cup, with a little flip lid. I thought I would try few on my way to the checkout. Big MISTAKE! I ate 3. I knew I was in trouble. It just sat there. Then it started to hurt. I started to take deep breaths. The sweat started to bead on my forehead. Seriously, the lady in front of the couple in front of me had so much in her cart, that it took two carts to hold the groceries bagged...and they had to call for help. I started to panic. Did I ditch my cart and go throw up in Walmart's bathroom? I ruled that out. I probably stood in line for 10 minutes. Breathing. Sweating. Cursing my stupidity in my head. I checked out and started walking towards the car. At this point I was looking for a place to throw up. Bushes? No, I could make it to my car. I threw the stuff in my trunk, grabbed an empty bag out of my trunk, opened my door, sat down behing my wheel and threw up in the bag. Horrible. I made it home, threw up in the yard. Threw up for a few hours off and on. After this was all said and done, I took a tiny sip of Water...threw that up too! I was really nervous at this point. So, I decided if I woke up on Saturday morning and still couldnt swallow water, I would go to the ER. I woke up fine yesterday. Had yogurt for Breakfast and then Boyfriend and I went out to eat for an early dinner. I had a cup of Soup and some of Traceys hamburger meat. Everything appears to be fine! Lesson? NO POPCORN CHICKEN OR TRYING NEW THINGS IN PUBLIC. :thumbup:

The yogurt is the Dannon Light & Fit. The fruit is blended, so you do not have to worry about being stuck. However, once you are optimally filled, you cannot eat it too quickly, or you will get that uncomfortable, "Oh this is going to take a while to get down" feel.

Hi there Im Laura and I had surgery January 12 of this year. I weighed in the day of surgery at 267 and I now weigh 195. I had my first fill in APril and it didn't really do much. I felt a little restriction but I had another fill on Sept. 25 and this one is really tight. I have noticed that I can not eat anything until later on in the day. I just saw my doctor this afternoon (Nov 12, 2007) and Dr. Spivak (Im in Houston, TX) told me that it is not uncommon to NOT be able to eat until later on in the day with a heavy fill. Reason being is that your band tightens up more while you sleep so the morning time you are at your tightest. You also collect mucus around the band during the night which makes it tighter. I usually drink a slimfast or some sort of protien drink for breakfast and then by lunchtime I can usually eat some yogurt and a piece of cheese. Sometimes I have to wait until after 6 or 7 pm at night to really be able to eat solid food. If you are a breakfast person and want food first thing in the morning then Dr. Spivak told me that drinking something hot first and waiting 30 minutes with loosen the band up to where you can get food down easier. I have to say I have noticed that if I sip on some broth or hot tea and wait a little while and then try to eat I can usually get it to stay down without it coming back up or experiencing that horrible acid reflux feeling. I had the option today to have some of the fill removed but I said NO WAY. With the hoidays coming up I can manage now that I know what the deal is. Hope this helps you out!

What do you use Torani SF Syrups in besides Protein Shakes?
Bluesea71 replied to Misty1975's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I bought 6 huge bottles pre-surgery and maybe mixed them into yogurt a few times. They have sat unused in my kitchen the last year since my surgery. -
Just had my first check up/Weigh in
Greek Lady replied to Scotschick's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi, well done that brilliant!! I hope I do half as well as you. I was banded on the 16/12/08, still feeling very sore, but its still earily days. Its gets better each day. Eating soups and yogurts only. Can't wait to be on mashy food. How's all the new banners doing, let me know. Thanks Gk L x:thumbup: -
I also use the "Amplified" and so far it is the best I have tried. I use the vanilla in smoothies with Greek yogurt, fruit, almond butter, and skim milk. I pour it over some crushed ice and it is yummy! Have used the chocolate too with banana, yogurt, and the skim milk. Both are really good. I bought the membership card and it saved me a lot! Good luck.

Congratulations Doriana, glad everything went well for you, that would have been horrible, going thru all that yogurt and cottage cheese diet, and then not band you. Glad the Dr. had the sense to say GOOD TO GO. Alas the gas pain is part of the recovery, they say a heating pad and moving around along with the gas-x helps. All the best to you in your recovery. Talk to you soon. Hugs :hug: Maria

I got permission to start cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. They said they recommend 2% or lower but all I could find at the local store was 4%. Am I okay to have that until I can go into town to the major grocer? I didn't know if the recommendation was based on calorie/fat diet wise or if more fat will do damage or be hard to digest? It doesn't seem like that big of a difference. And I really don't want to wait Haha I am ready for a Protein besides those friggin shakes.

I got sleeved a week ago. What I'm doing.
orionburn replied to Xerox's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Congrats on getting to the other side of the fence! We all react differently to surgery. It took me several weeks to not feel exahusted all the time. I remember being so bored at home after 2 weeks and tried to do anything could around the house. Running the vaccum for a few minutes was tiring, but it also felt good to actually do something. As you transistion to more foods you're mood/energy levels will go up. With liquids you typically won't ever feel restriction unless you drink too much too fast. Water passes through the stomach rather quickly when there's no food in it. Don't be surprised if you don't feel a full sensation with yogurts either. Anything that is a liquid at room temperature is pretty much a liquid in your stomach. When you get to real foods you'll start to feel it. -

Sydney7 replied to Xerox's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You may also be getting dehydrated which can happen. Water is heavy and harder to go down without pain. You could try liquid yogurt, crystal light, iced tea, anything but plain water would be easier to get down. Don’t forget there is also sugar free jello and pudding which is easier to get down. Also you might not feel hungry for a long time, but it is still important to stay hydrated and fuel your body. Good luck! -
6 Weeks Out, Total Of 84 Lbs Down...
eazye replied to eazye's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Oh, something I forgot to mention, I have run into the issue of slow loss but think I know what the cause is. It has been discussed here in the past but I feel I am not eating enough throughout the day to keep my metabolism as high as it was right after surgery. I recently started counting calories and realized I was only taking in about 900-950 calories a day. So, I started eating an extra meal a day starting this week and I dropped 2 lbs quickly. I am trying to take in about 200 calories every 2 hours starting at about 7am and ending by 7pm at night. If I can do this, I will get roughly 1200 calories which seems to be my "sweet spot" for keeping my metabolism really going. I drop down to 1000 or less, I seem to be hindering my weight loss. So, any of you out a few months and struggling with slower than expected losses, try adding another 200 calorie Protein bar or yogurt, or something to your routine and go for a week or two, you may see your weight loss pace start to pick back up. -
6 Weeks Out, Total Of 84 Lbs Down...
eazye replied to eazye's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
So I think it was a lack of enough calories that slowed my weight loss becasue all last week I started ramping up my calorie intake (with healthy calories) and I actually dropped another 2 lbs over the weekend. Im down to 208-209 now which gets me to 109 lbs lost since I started the whole process. I do feel like I am constantly eating but when it is 75-150 calories at a time, you need to constantly eat to get in the 1200 a day. I am not doing a lot of solid foods, just lots of yogurts, Protein bars, string cheese, etc....but I do at least try to get a solid chicken or turkey meal of some sort in every day. Solids like that fill me up quickly and lasts a lot longer which is expected.... Only 24 lbs to go to goal and ony 3.5 months out, loving the surgery, thats for sure! -
Meat, cheese, eggs, greek yogurt. I never used shakes. I just focused on eating as much meat as possible. I ate tons of beef and chicken, seafood was a once or twice a week thing. It's not my favorite food, and it was not something I ever prepared at home unless it was tuna or some crab mixture. Tilapia and mahi mahi are the only fish I really like, and I typically screw those up when preparing at home. The main veggies I ate were green Beans, broccoli, and refried or pinto beans. I ate poached eggs with cheese, ground meats, tons of deli meat with cream cheese, chicken and beef made in the crock pot. I ate tons of leftovers. I'd prepared 2-3 cups of a specific food, and freeze individual portions for easy meals.

Update: ok so I drank my 11oz of Premier Protein Carmel and it was goooooood. BUT!!! It took me roughly from 1pm till almost 8pm to do it. On week too where I get mashed potatoes, oatmeal, cream of wheat, yogurt and pudding. I did the math so bare with me. I have averaged getting up around 10-11am since hubby has been home all week. If I’m up at 11am, I have to drink FOUR oz of water per hour which means, 11am sip, sip, sip. 11:15 am, sip,sip, sip. 11:30am sip, sip, sip. You see where km going with this. I’d have to stay up till about 3am to get in the 64oz they want us to get in????? Even if I get up at 8am, I’d be up till about 1am. HOW IS THIS RIGHT? And I’ve thrown popsicles in which are only 1.5oz each. My stomach has barely been able to hold 40oz and for that I seriously have to push it in,almost to the point of getting sick. I know they don’t want us to be dehydrated,which I’m not. Urine looks great, still no BM, but all I’ve had is water and we started adding the Mirolax to it today. But come on, 64oz of liquid??????

Pre-Op Liquid Diet
Berry78 replied to Sleeve1stFitNext's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've bounced back and forth between watery stool and constipation. I wouldn't recommend taking anything because about the time you do, your body will have adjusted (maybe). Then you'll have other problems. There might be something you are consuming that isn't agreeable. I was allowed Okios triple zero yogurt. Something in that caused me trouble. -
Stupid Question For Ya, Does Water Go Right Through After Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
100%Sleeved replied to crazycatlady8's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm still suppose to be on full liquids so I have not tried yogurt yet. I did try a taste of an egg but it was only a bite because I was going crazy on the liquids. Yesterday I made some tuna for the family and ate 2 spoon fulls. I have had no complications. I love yogurt and have not thought to try it so I will try some today and let you know. -
Weight gain before weigh in prior to surgery
Ready4theday replied to Teetee82's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I actually went in for my pre-op appt with my surgeon today (surgery scheduled for 8/24) and I was up 5.6 lbs from my final weigh in with the nutritionist (7/31)! That's despite having been on a liquid diet for the past 11 days! I have cheated but only with yogurt a couple times and a bite of macaroni salad once. Really, I can't believe it. Anyway, they thought insurance (CIGNA) may not cover due to the gain, but they called and got approval. I was panicking for a minute there! But it's my own fault, really. I shot myself in the foot because I went on vacation the first week of Aug. and ate everything I wanted because I thought my final weigh in was over! I gained about 7 lbs between that week and when I had to start my liquid diet. Just thankful that I'm still able to have surgery. I hope it works out for you! HW: 281 CW: 274 SW: TBD 8/24/17 -
haha, I should have been more specific. 4 protein shakes a day, 1/2 cups of broth, jello, 6 oz of greek yogurt (no fruit chunks), pudding (sf), and tomato juice(which I hate). But, no solid foods. The greek yogurt is by far my best friend.

Genepro protein powder is the best! It is odorless and tasteless. I order mine from Amazon and I make smoothies with it and I mix it in my yogurt and hot chocolate. Doesn't change the taste or texture at all.

Cheating on liquid diet
AdiosAnnie300 replied to Dropdeadkim's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Honestly, yes. I was 15 days post op and still doing premier protein or broth. I have a physical job nd was feeling sick not getting something solid. I started to add 4 oz of puréed soups with a tbsp. Of Greek yogurt. I tolerated it well and if anything noticed that I need to slow down when I eat. I stayed full longer and had more energy. Today I’m 18 days post op and I have introduced Cottage cheese and egg. -

Maybe try it in yogurt? I really don't know what else you could use. After my RNY I was still on Potassium and those pills are HUGE, so the DR put me on liquid Potassium!! YUK Did I just say YUK? Oh my goodness it was so bad that I stopped taking them!! -
I cant believe how happy I am with phase 3
donaboss posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am beyond happy and pleased. Last night I had my first meal which included a piece of thin deli meat and a slice of cheese and it was delicious. Today for lunch I made a tuna salad which included dice onions, light mayo and lemon and pepper and I LOvED it. It tasted sooo delicious and my sleeve loved it and accepted it. I was so scared that I was never going to be able to eat again but that was not the case. I took care of my sleeve though and I ate by my doctors rules and ate very slowly. I was so scared to eat the tuna but I felt normal again. I could cry from happiness. Only my mom, 2 sisters and 3 closest friends knew of my surgery and now that I am eating more "healthy" food the rest of the family are not suspicious. I try to eat every 4 hours just like I am told too but sometimes every 3 hours because I do get hungry. I also work out so for 4 weeks I ate between 300-420 calories and yesterday was the first day I ate 690 calories and I did burn 390 at the gym. This is my phase 3 so not sure how much calories I should be eating. I make sure each of my meal had lots of Protein and low carbs. Just a week ago I was barely getting 20g of protein and yesterday it was 63g I was beyond happy. I also take my Vitamins everyday it's part of me now and I don't want to get sick. I drink lots of Water especially at night I have a bottle next to my night stand and I am surprised how much I drink. I used to love sweet food but I am starting to hate them a lot. Like I loved my yogurt in the morning which is light and fit Greek yogurt and now I am finding it to be really sweet lol. Not complaining because sweets are the reason why I got into this place. I have a lot of energy. I work full time and I am a full time student taking 6 classes and I still make time to go to the gym 3 times per week and I walk everyday during my lunch. Knock on wood, I have to gas or acid problem at all. I wish I could use the bathroom more often but I will get there soon enough. Sometimes I think I did not have the sleeve at all haha. I remember the first 2 weeks were hard and everyone told me how it will get better to hang in there and I would say to myself no this will never get better but it's true it does get better. Just have patience and you won't believe how fast time flys. Ok going to do homework now, I just wanted to share something positive. -

How soon after surgery did you start Prilosec
Joann454 replied to Joann454's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Idk if this is normal but my surgeon is ok with me taking pills. It seems odd since my popsicles and yogurt can't have lumps. I have so many pills to take. This outta be fun! -
Protein Shakes Give Me The Sh#&*
jennrus replied to jennrus's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No but no other dairy bothers me so everyone told me the milk shouldn't be the problem. Yogurt and cheese all the time.
