Hey Rosie, You def sound like you're too tight. From experience it seems like your doctor put way too many cc's in, in such a short amount of time. It took me about 6 months to build up to where you are, and I thought that was rough. The reason I say you're too tight>> you can't even keep down Water. What I've noticed is when you get stuck a couple times when eating, it makes your stomach expand (swell) inside your band. Kind of makes the band seem tighter than what it is. Like it's irritated or something. This causes you to get stuck much more until you allow the swelling to go down. Eating yogurts or doubling up on my Protein shakes helps me get back to normal. These aren't proven facts, just my thoughts. I was banded 2/16/11 so I'm accustomed to my body and my band. Normally after a fill it takes about 2 weeks to get the full affect of the fill. I've had to go back to get an un-fill because my doctor put too much in. As far as the acid reflux.... I'm completely with you 10000%. I have severe acid reflux now since getting my band. Throwing up will cause/ make it worse! I take Ranitidine over the counter meds every day... it helps a tun!!!! Good luck and keep your heap up! The first 8 months were prob the hardest for me! So many changes in my body and my emotions and they weren't all good. :wub: Ronni

My Doctor faked my surgery!
mirv550 replied to tblovingme's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is funny because my wife and I were starting to ask the same thing...lol! My surgery was on 09/11/2015, and I had one day of grogginess and laziness and took 1/2 a dose of they pain meds. The next night I took my regular dose, and slept my 6 hours with no issues,and have not really stopped since then. I mean I finished up my liquid diet on 09/17, and 09/18 I went to phase 2 which I will be until my 6th week. I am keeping it to meats, cheese, yogurts, Beans, eggs, and wheat thins...but hot sauce or spicy foods are no problem at all....veggies are harder to get in but I work them in as well. I can tell from the weight loss that I am on the right path though...how messed up would it be to be the placibo sleeve...lol -
Learning The Hard Way
lizzyshade replied to lizzyshade's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I haven't been able to tolerate anything tomato based yet, my sleeve is just too sensitive. I hope it works for you though. Eggs with a bit of cheese have been great, but mostly I still eat cream soups & yogurt. I wish you the best, this does seem to be a battle of trial & error. -

Georgia thinks this website needs a usability specialist
puddin commented on puddin's blog entry in Puddinpie's Journal
But that's just my biased opinion. Okay, for documentation purposes let me describe my typical day: 7:00 AM - wake up & get ready 8:00 AM - Breakfast of either 2 scoops Apex Fit chocolate shake (mmmmmm... tastes like a REAL chocolate shake) or a FiberOne bar, and one Metagenics b-complex 12:00 PM - Lunch of leftovers from night before or a frozen dinner of some type 3:00 PM - Fiber One bar or some form of chocolate I shouldn't eat OR yogurt 5:00 PM - Leave work for the day 6:00 PM - Spin class on Mondays & Wednesdays, Swimming on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays and running on Saturdays. It's warming up and we'll start biking and running outside soon. 7:30-8:00 PM - Dinner. This week's dinners consisted of Mon: Homemade Lasagna Tue: LF Cream cheese & chicken crepes and about 5 oreos Wed: Fried turkey steaks with mashed potatoes and a skillet brownie w/ ice cream Thu: Famous Dave's for mom's birthday and threw it ALL up! Fri: We're going to dinner for Nick's dad's birthday, not sure where This week we've not exercised at all because Nick was very afraid that he'd hurt his back again and woudl have to have surgery. He was so afraid that he even teared up the other night of the thought of going through that again. This is the equivalent of him being paralyzed. He's such an active guy. Not mountain biking and hiking and camping and doing some of those things he loves is like torture for him. We've prayed very hard lately and I felt like things would be ok. Today he called me and told me his back feels so much better. I'm so grateful! I wish I could have the motivation to exercise on my own without my awesome husband! Ugh. Maybe I'll have to start doing it at the campus track during lunch hours. -
Four-1/2 months post surgery
FitnFabfor2014 replied to bonmilligan's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Congratulations! That's a huge drop in four n 1/2 months! I was just sleeved on Tuesday. I enjoy reading about other sleeved patients and their recovery. Sorry I'm still at the stage two (yogurts, applesauce, Soups - only broth & creamy). I would LOVE some steamed veggies, I can't wait until I'm at that stage. How long after you were sleeved did you go back to work? And good luck with your new dating life! How exciting is that!!!!! -
Protein Powder Suggestions
BigSue replied to Jnfinney's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Before my surgery, I ordered a lot of different samples of protein powder, and IdealFit was my favorite. I love mixing the birthday cake with yogurt, and the chocolate brownie, chocolate coconut, and mint chocolate are good to drink. I have my eye on the chocolate cherry and butter pecan, but unfortunately, those aren't available in sample sizes and I'm not sure I want to commit to a huge tub without tasting it first. I also got some interesting flavors from 1up Nutrition, Northbound Nutrition (Waves of Whey), KetoShop, and Black Magic Supply. They all have single-serving samples so you don't have to buy a whole tub. -
I am doing good. I struggled with the diet that they gave us, and chose to use one from another doctor. I am still only eating protein shakes, SF pudding, light yogurt, chicken broth, popsicles, and strained cream of chicken soup. I think I am going to try mashed potatoes tomorrow. How are you doing? how is your diet going? did you use the one he gave us? how was your trip home? we were lucky to have an extra day at the recovery house which helped. I am not as tired as I read that some people were. that part scared me. I actually felt energetic and good. Not tired and lethargic like I thought I would. how about you??

No good Rob - you still have a few days left and you have to eat something. Try some more yogurt and if you are desperate eat either egg beaters or egg white only. But you must eat. Call the clinic they will tell you that and perhaps even a small piece of chicken.

I had a day from hell today... I can't even look at CC let alone put it in my mouth. blahhhhhhhhhh so I stuck to the yogurt, my head was pounding and i felt hungry. I tried to eat yogurt for lunch but it just wasn't going to happen for me. I left work early and came home and had a hot cup of tea and a bubble bath. I only have to make it till Thursday and it's well worth the minor strugle. Jannet

Dr. Aceves Post Op Diet Question
AnneAC replied to AnneAC's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Ooh... I haven't tried yogurt yet I ate about 3 tbsp of broccoli cheese soup and that was awesome. I feel like I get that tight in throat feeling really quick. -
I too just went through this kind of thing. I went rouge for 3 years and came back just this last May. I started with my food journal again. This was my down fall like water is to you. It just took up too much time to write everything down, find the food in the book or on line and then count the calories. I keep a journal now. I keep times of when I eat and what I eat (i.e. breakfast burrito/ sm flour tortilla, 1 egg, chdr chz, salsa, pork-comments too – ate half, got stuck…) but I don’t count calories and I’ve been on top of it each day without a problem. That was my first step. Second; I picked up some of those water flavored packets (5 different kids) and now I can drink 64oz (4 16oz bottles) in a day. I have some in my purse, in the car or in my snack tote I carry w/me every time I leave the house. Third; got back into doing exercises twice a week. I found a Zumba class and have been enjoying it immensely. I’ve lost 15 inches of off my whole body since April. Fourth; I now watch the amount that I eat and what I eat. Started by eating half and half only. Found that it was really enough, started listening again to my body when it was satisfied – not FULL. I eat about every 2-3 hours (meals to snacks) and try my best to stop at 7-7:30pm (some days I do this, others days I don’t, but I keep trying) One thing I’ve learned is to own up to my mistake, deal with it, learn from it if I can and then move on. I went back to the doctors for the first time recently, I handed since him since 2007. That was last fill I had had too. At this visit the doctor this added ½ cc to my current 8cc that I already had. I’m proud to say that I’ve lost 3 pounds in just 8 days! I mentioned this earlier, keep snacks with you at all times. This will stop the urge for fast food—the quick fix. I will have fruit, yogurt, string cheese, almonds, crackers, 100 cal snacks and of course 1 or 2 bottles of water (that have been pre mixed w/flavoring) Keep posting! I would like to hear how you’re doing. You can do this, I have faith in you!

Omg, I am so sorry for this. That must be horrible! Sounds like there isn't ANYTHING that you will be able to keep down. I am only 12 days post so I still do liquids only with the exception of Greek yogurt. I haven't thrown up since the hospital for after surgery so unfortunately I have no advice except to call your doctor or nutritionist. You need to get something in you that stays because it's very dangerous otherwise. Good luck and I hope you find the answer. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

I find myself hungry at lot and it is starting to bother me. Need some advice. I usually workout for an hour 5 to 6 days a week, running 3 or 4 of those days, walking and weight training the other days. I eat but I am hungry a lot. Here is my typical food day. Breakfast (before working out): A banana, Protein bar, yogurt, a piece of Jerky or two boiled eggs. I try to drink a little Water but not enough to fill me up. (Can’t workout on a full tummy. Learned that the hard way. LOL!). When I get to work, I will have a yogurt or smart one egg breakfast sandwich. A little later I will drink water. I usually have a cup of coffee (sometimes two) before noon). Snack: Jerky, applesauce, Protein Bar, plain Peanut Butter or nuts. (Sometimes I forget to eat the snack) Lunch: Tuna or grilled chicken breast on top of some lettuce or a small salad or some leftovers from the night before. Afternoon: Drink more water; a Protein shake, nuts, rice cake or cheese/crackers Drink shake or water on the way home. Dinner: Whatever I cook. Maybe fish or chicken and veggies. Will eat a few roasted potatoes or a few mouthfuls of rice sometimes but I try to stay away from bread and rice as much as possible. Late night snack: Nuts or yogurt or jerky and water I will eat some chips or chocolate covered peanuts every once in a while as a treat but not often. Even with all of the water I drink, I am hungry a lot. I eat everything on a saucer. What doesn’t fit, I don’t eat. A lot of the time, I will eat 3 or 4 ounces of meat and leave the rest to nibble on later. What am I doing wrong? The scale is not moving but I am working out like a mad woman.

Spicy Food + No Water?
sarahbee replied to geronimo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Water actually increases the burn with spicy food. The real solution is milk or dairy. Depending on what you're eating that's spicy, maybe you could counter the spice with sour cream or yogurt? -

Am I the only one that is allowed to eat soft food like yogurt and sf pudding the week right after my surgery? I am on day 3 and I eat those because I was told that I am allowed to eat them in small portions. I still feel guilty about it because I dont see anybody else with that diet so soon after surgery,,,I feel that I am doing something wrong by doing so,,,please share if anybody else was allowed to skip the liquid part only. Even in the hospital they made me eat pudding and cream of wheat before I went home. HELP ME

My first day was pure hell! After that meltdown, I've been pretty good. The biggest factor with my new outlook was finding a Protein shake that I liked. I'm doing the unjury shakes, and so far so good. I've been mostly using the chocolate flavor with either strawberry yogurt or milk. I've been using frozen strawberries instead of ice cubes and it tastes yummy. My other "go-to" recipe is the unflavored unjury shake with crystal lite. Any crystal lite is OK, but I like the fruit punch kind the best. I just tried the chicken soup flavor last night and that was also really good. Most likely, I'll do a mix of the unflavored/crystal lite and chicken soup for after surgery. Best of luck!!

I don't have problems with either. Heck, yogurt can some times cause problems. It is all an individual thing. Also, both can be pealed, that would help a lot.

Advancing Diet Sooner Than Reccomended
MinaT replied to mkamai's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am forcing a little protein a day in. At 10 days out I was able to get in 1 ounce of yogurt 5 hours ago and still don't think I can handle any protein shake. I read bean and bacon soup blended but I am supposing that is something to wait until pureed stage? 5 weeks of liquid, I can't figure out what to have that won't give me extreme and violent gas pains. I literally had a few teaspoons of cheddar broccoli soup with no chunks in it and the pain in my shoulder and under my ribs felt like a heart attack. I'm actually scared to have soup. I bought cream of asparagus (probably too gassy), cream of chicken and mushroom (low fat healthy ones). I've been existing on a few ounces of protein drink and water and peppermint tea. I would like to add things, but until this gas gets under control, I will have to just save up things I want until I'm okay enough to have them. -
Water Intake, How do I Eat Soup?
Kindle replied to AndreaSleevePanama's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok, the ONLY reason we can't eat and drink at the same time is because the food will leave our sleeves quicker, so we won't feel as full for as long, so we MIGHT eat more than we should. That's it. Soup will not harm our sleeves. So yes, it's a good idea to not eat and drink at the same time if you can't control your urge to eat when your sleeve is empty. But if you want soup, eat soup! Just be aware you might get hungry again sooner than if you eat a solid meal. If so, have a high Protein snack and move on. I eat soup all the time. In fact, I just finished a cup of French onion soup with melted Gouda cheese. MmmmMmmmmGood! And then I had two cubes of pineapple for dessert. Its 7pm and I will be having a bedtime snack of Greek Yogurt flavored with vanilla Protein powder in a few hours. -
I did that with full fat yogurt not too long ago. That is most definitely an NSV . Congrats!
-
Premier vanilla (30 grams)... My tastes changed after surgery so I had to force them down but it's easier now. I'm experimenting with skim milk/yogurt/fruit/protein smoothies now and getting more protein in with foods. It is hard but worth it!

greek yogurt with a dab of peanut butter stirred in is deliish! Also the tuna is amazing! Its still a favorite of mine!
