Any Teachers Who Have Been/getting Sleeved!
Treed2 replied to mommeof3's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I eat a packet of tuna for lunch or a yogurt. Then later I will eat a piece of string cheese or one of the 100 calorie cottage cheese. I also still drink shakes from Costco. They have 30 grams of protein in one shake. -
I never eat when I first get up.. I get up about 6 am.. don't know why just habit.. drink coffee til about 8 , make the beds and then maybe fix breakfast about 8:30 or 9 ... I am tighter in the morning and was stuck this morning,, made mushroom, egg and cheese omelet..I don' think my band likes mushrooms.. but I stopped eating and did fine.. I sometimes just eat some greek yogurt in the morning if I need to go somewhere early....

Well, scale is up today (I had stayed off for 2 days), I am so depressed, though I did eat a little bit I shouldn't the last 2 days. But I'm gonna start a liquid diet tomorrow. I usually just do the shakes because, I hate pudding, and I dislike jello. Maybe I'll eat some egg drop Soup though, and perhaps get a little yogurt. Gonna start tomorrow, since I'm going to Rosh Hashanna dinner tonight. I'm gonna try for 3 days at least. TMI-maybe it will relieve my constipation for now.

remember liquid is not only shakes...i would still eat SF Jello, pudding, light Soups, yogurt. You gain weight back because your body has gone into shock so its starving and when food enters in it absorbs it and turns it into fat automatically. You should still eat around 800-1100 calories a day.

A year out from surgery, what is your daily diet consist of?
Bufflehead replied to Gail Ann's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I need to take off a few lbs, so I am in weight loss mode right now. And this is pretty much the way I was eating at a year out, when I was in full time weight loss mode. Here's my diary from Friday Early morning: fat free hot cocoa made w/ cashew milk Breakfast: 3 oz chopped chicken breast Lunch: 3 oz chopped chicken breast + 1/5 oz green Beans + 1/2 T. light champagne vinaigrette Afternoon snacks: small apple, Protein shake Dinner: roast brussels sprouts, curried tuna & kale w/ an egg baked on top After dinner: Greek yogurt, roasted rosemary walnuts & fig Totals for the day: 1,095 calories, 93 grams protein, 87 carbs, 13 grams Fiber If you want to see diaries on a regular basis, friend a bunch of post-surgery people on myfitnesspal, that way you can check their diaries every day ETA: at a year out, I was probably eating more like 2 oz of chicken breast at a meal -- at that point I don't think I could have eaten as much as 3 oz in a sitting. -
How Long Did you have to crush your meds?
SuperDave replied to brians34's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was instructed to do it for at least 90 days, longer if the pills are unusually large. I normally mix with a spoonful of yogurt, it seems to hide the flavor well. For something really unpleasant tasting, I use tabasco sauce. I love that stuff anyway! -
I don't really have any:( However I did do better grocery shopping, I got a Kashi cereal that has 9grams of protein per serving. I got some SF carnation instant breakfast and tried some greek-style yogurt that has 10 grams of protein per serving!! I think now that it is October I'm starting to prepare myself more and really making better choices with my food! And since I did SO bad in Sept. I think that is a NSV for me.:cool2:

SHOCKED at how fast my motivation disappeared!
hokiemama posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well, I was SO motivated in preparing for this surgery. I read all of the booklets, did my research, and I was READY! I could not wait to get banded and I "knew" I was going to be very strict and do exactly as my surgeon instructed. Now, LESS THAN 2 months post-op, I am not doing as well as I should. I did fine on Thanksgiving and Christmas due to being on liquids or soft/mushy after my first fill. But as soon as I could start on regular foods, I'm "slipping up". Yesterday, I measured and did well all day. I got my water in AND exercised. But around 9:00 last night, I had a "mini binge". I ate a Little Debbie cake AND some chocolate dipped pretzels. I knew I would feel horrible afterwards, but did it anyways. I said I'd do better tomorrow. Well, that's today. I had 1/2 cup of cottage cheese for breakfast, 1/2 cup of chili with Greek yogurt for lunch, exercised.....then ate a 4 oz. bag of COMBOS!! What is up with that???????? I beat myself up terribly and the guilt is awful, but in those weak moments....I do it anyway. I am very glad that I had the sugery and I know I'll meet my goal 'someday". I just don't understand how I could feel so ready and motivated and lose that motivation so quickly. I thought I'd make it at least 3-4 months before I started "cheating". My surgical group only meets once per month for support group and I don't think I need psychotherapy. This forum is very helpful and I'm wondering if any of you lost your motivation so quickly and how did you get it back? I see people saying you have to have control and do the work. Well, lack of control of my eating is how I became obese! I know it isn't "easy" but I truly thought it would be a little easier than without the band. I know I have only had one fill also, and I do get full quickly with much less food than before...I'm just mad at myself! for breaking the rules so quickly. -
Tomorrow will be 1 week post surgery. Today I'm not just having protien shakes but have added yogurt, cream of wheat cereal, fat free ricotta cheese and creamed soups. I'm not a hot cereal lover so that didn't go over too well but everything else I had small portions of and liked it. I even had a small fat free pudding which was good too. I've got to remember to fit my protien shakes in there too inbetween but sometimes it is hard. Maybe once I get back to work tomorrow I'll have a better system and I won't be taking 2 naps during the day! That sort of messes things us too but I figured I needed the rest.

3 meals a day, no snacks...when do you eat fruit?
Bea1128 replied to Bea1128's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Thanks kbinaz! I'll have to try that. I've heard Greek yogurt is delicious, but have never gotten any mostly because it's so pricey. I'll get some though especially for that much protein. It's a bargain! I always get my protein quota for the day. I make it a priority. I eat veggies too, but just can't get much down most of the time. I'm full so fast and I haven't had a fill yet. I can eat almost anything, but just not very much. I think I'll try the two bites, one bite thing. Thanks again!! -
I'm telling you - the Bariatric Advantage vitamins taste horrific! I have challenged my bariatric nutritionist to investigate chewable vitamins. Concerning the sugar issue, surely the amount in one vitamin is somewhat negligible. Do any of you crush a regular vitamin and eat it with pudding/yogurt?

Do you eat 1cup of food for every meal?
Bree99 replied to LuvinLife's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For breakfast I often have Greek yogurt so that's not a cup of food. For lunch and dinner I do usually have a cup of food. I have some restriction. I usually don't snack and generally am not hungry. -
Week 5 Update - November Sleeves.
Toolman82 replied to rayb70's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thanks Lina I have recommitted to protein today. Greek yogurt and protein shake. They’re horrible but I’m getting them down slowly. I hope after a few days I’ll see some change. They don’t satisfy the hunger, but as long as I get them in, I think I’ll be ok. -
Eating and drinking
RoRoKitty replied to lorraine#11's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would suggest to try soft and puréed food... introduce fish, seafood, chicken, cottage cheese, yogurts etc slowly into your daily life... as soon as you see you can tolerate these, you can add one new thing every once in a while in minimum quantities. Every body is unique and there is no 100% right diet and wrong diet. Just focus on your proteins first and then you can worry about your greens, carbs are coming last. -
Weight Loss Science??? (long boring moan!)
babsyintx replied to Bright's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi Bright, Dont compare yourself to others. It is harder when you start at a higher BMI. I hear of bandsters that are able to eat 1500-2000 calories a day and still lose 1-2 pounds a week. THat is not me. I dont lose if I eat more than about 1200. It also matters what I eat. If I stay away from the carbs and focus on Protein, I lose quicker. I have hyperinsulinemia and when I look at a carb, I gain weight Also,I am aware that in Ireland, you have limited access to low carb substitutes and Snacks with reduced fat or calories. I had the same problem when I lived in the Netherlands. If I wanted specialty products (which are mostly made in the US or England) I had to pay premium dollar for them. Its really easier (in my opinion) to lose weight in the US where so many options are available for us chocolate junkies such as low carb chocolate bars sweetened with Splenda or other sugar substitutes. We even have low carb chips, low carb Pasta, sauces and other goodies that make the evil word "dieting" easier. (you wouldnt be able to tell though by the large numbers of obese in the us though!) It does seem like you could use more fill. But I will preface that by saying that sometimes more fill doesnt help you to lose the pounds unless you also do a mental adjustment. Today, I am sitting here eating 1/2 can of bumblebee tuna with lemon and some mulitgrain crackers. Total Calories: 210 Breakfast was a low carb yogurt smoothie with 13 grams of protein and 100 calories. SO today, I am back to basics. Sure, I could eat the whole can of tuna if I wanted to, and yeah what I really want is tortilla chips with cheese, but lately the tortillas are stalling my weight loss. Get some more fill, stick to a bandster portion and waterload!!!! You can do it. Some of us have easier journeys than others. I have always had to work hard at it and if I slack up, I lose my momentum and I am prone to gain if I deviate from good bandster habits. Babs in TX -
I have the exact symptoms that you do. I can't eat anything until noon time. At noon I have a protein shake with 25 grams of protein. I then proceed to eat 1-2 oz of tuna fish mixed with mayo and relish, no bread. I often snack on almonds, yogurt or cheese sticks. I eat just a tiny bit of protein at dinner. I consume 800-1k calories a day on this diet. I try and sneak in a non fat latte during the day too. I love the caffeine. Also, the golf ball feeling you are getting sounds exactly like what I get. My surgeon said it was more like first bite syndrome. It usually passes then you can proceed to eat. You just have to take it slow.

I lived a big part of my life as if every day was a food funeral, so I think by the time I actually booked the surgery it was just relief, so I didn't do one. HOWEVER. My surgery was originally supposed to be at the end of October and on the day of surgery my flight was cancelled and I couldn't get to Mexico due to Sandy. On THAT day, after starving myself on yogurt for 3 days combined with the HUGE disappointment of not having surgery that day, I did say screw it and ate some bad stuff. And it wasn't even GOOD bad stuff, it was DENNY's people. UGH. It was the closest thing to the airport and I was huuungry.

Creamy Liquid Phase- How much/How often to eat?
Katy517 replied to LegalEagle2009's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was banded 4/15/10 and am on this full liquid 'phase' for a full six weeks. I also wondered about how much I should be ingesting at any one sitting. So far I don't have any problems keeping liquids down. My nutritionist told me to just pace myself and try to take 30-45 minutes to consume my 'meals' so I do that with yogurt, protein drinks, soups, etc. -

I am going to be banded on August 12th 2008! I been trying to get approved since Janury 10th when I first met with the Surgen Dr. Castro in Staten Island NY. He has the best track record I can find any where in NY so I know he will take care of me. I'm so nervous and scared out of my mind right now. I'm afraid that I gained weight in the last two weeks since I got my surgery date. I am supposed to be on the special diet where you practically starve yourself and since I got my date I have not been following it very well at all.. I replaced most of my snacks with either fruit or low calorie yogurt but I have been eating larger portions than I was before I got the date. My boyfriend says he thinks I'm eating ok but then again he didn't think I ate a lot to begin with, if that's the case how did I get to the point of surgery right?! I should have bough a scale to keep track of myself... Deff gotta put that on my TO - DO - LIST! My sister had the gastric bypass 3 years ago and she was over 400 lbs at the time of surgery, she is currently only 120 lbs and has skin hanging all over. I think she looks scary looking and terrible. She also has vitamin problems and can't keep any food down. She has her good days but they are few and very far between. That's why I chose the lap band:thumbup: Much less risk of all of those things and more. Also I dont want to be a bag of bones the way my sister is now. I like a lil meat on me... hopefully in the right places! If anyone is in the Brooklyn NY area E-mail me, Things like this are easier if you have a friend going through it with you.:frown: much love to everyone out there who is going for the band! -Jinx

Here I am on day 6! So far, I have lost about 9lbs, that is not unusual for me. I retain water so that is what most of it is. BUT!! I will take it! Today has not been too bad. We did some running around and right now I am taking a break from my Saturday chores. I had a pretty big bfast. Eggs and a sausage. I just had some grapes, yogurt and chicken for lunch. Gotta go! I am going to surf the web for a minute and then start cleaning again.

I agree with CarrieBrownsville, but if you have to snack, make it something full of Protein. Protein shake, Plain FF Greek Yogurt mixed with reduced fat Peanut Butter or PB2 and a little Splenda,yummy, Boiled egg, ff cottage cheese, String cheese etc. Are you eating high solid Proteins for Breakfast,lunch & dinner? Keeps you full longer. Maybe have a later dinner. You are not suppose to lay down with a fulk stomach, so wait 1hr after eating before going to bed. BTW, hate to burst your bubble, but it may take a few fills before reaching restriction. Best wishes
