Just 8 days post RNY
SugarFreeMe replied to lisavz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Lisa, your just starting so don't be frustrated. Your most likely still retaining some of that Fluid from the hospital as well as still swollen. I didn't step on the scale for almost 2 weeks after surgery. liquids will go away. I'm 5 1/2 weeks out and eating things that I can chew. I'm down 33lbs and loving this whole thing. food no longer controls my life, I don't worry about what I'm eating and when can I eat it. Once you can start pureed you'll start to feel better about everything. Even being able to eat something like yogurt gives you hope, do don't be depressed or sad. Time goes by quickly and before you know it you'll be eating yummy stuff again. I actually went out to dinner for the first time tonight, granted I only had a cup of awesome chili with cheese and onions, but more importantly I felt like I was a part of the human race again. -
I'm 11 days post op and I'm mostly liquid. When does your nutritionist let you move on to something soft? I'm up to two teaspoons of plain yogurt. I'm taking an antibiotic because I've had a fever so to avoid a yeast infection I'm doing yogurt for me 3 "meals" this week. Have you eaten Jello? That gave me the sensation of eating while being on the liquid portion of my plan. I also like Popsicles because it's almost like a bite.

Thank god for Papaya enzyme and aloe vera...and thanks Kathy, too!!
the best me replied to housecatgirl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Yes, wait till after next week when the TOM has passed you by. And Full liquids...not just clear. Egg Drop Soup is great, any cream Soups (blended), yogurt, thin mashed potatos, guacamole, etc etc. Keep it super soft with small bites and ride this out. If it doesn't get better, time for a small unfill. That's what I think anyway. If you have a hunch I'm off-base, or something just isn't right, call your doc. Don't listen to some bloke on the internet, okay? Drink your aloe vera ! LOL -

Thanks so much Kathy! Yes! It was you...you aloe junkie.:clap2: How long should I stay this tight before I know it's time for an unfill?:rolleyes My TOM is next week so I am thinking maybe I should wait until the following week and see if the combo of possible weight drop and TOM being over will open me up a little.:phanvan I will try to stick with liquids. Should it be clear liquids or are shakes/yogurt, creamy soup type stuff ok? -
Normal Seasonal Doldrums Or Something Wrong?
Kat817 replied to pchamster's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I agree with what Jack said!! I also wanted to let you know, that they do often schedule you monthly for fills in the beginning, very few have ever needed 12 fills---in fact I have never heard of it!!! They work them every 4 weeks so you can achieve restriction, and maintain it. You do NOT have to have the fill!!! If you are eating properly---slowly, small, well chewed bites---and you fill up quickly, and do not find yourself hungry again for several hours, you do not need a fill. In fact it sounds as though you may still be suffering from being slightly overfilled. Another possibility is that you are dealing with residual swelling caused by the "barfing" it up. I was told anytime something passed painfully or I PB'd (barfed it up) to go to liquids for minimally several hours to allow the stomach to calm down again. It is an evil cycle if it gets started. I would suggest you do just as Jack said, and try treating it as first bite syndrome. Drink something warm in the morning before trying to eat the bulky cereal. Also there are no rules set in stone that you must eat the cereal early in the day! Have a container of yogurt for breakfast, and save the cereal for lunch when you seem to be more open..... And some meds will irritate the band, and cause some swelling, so you might just have to experiment around and see if doing things in a different pattern will help! Good Luck!!! Isn't it nice to have the warm nights rather than the snow, I thought winter would never end!!!! Kat -
hello there. I got sleeved on November 11th. had a great surgery and recovery. I started my week pre diet with Protein shakes, it actually wen great. My problem right now is that i cant stand those shakes i am actually gagging on them, having a very difficult tine finishing them , and the chicken broth and and greek yogurt gives me goose bumps just listening to the words. i would like any kind of ideas on how you managed to go thru that liquid stage. thank you!!!

I took my capsules with yogurt, cottage cheese or some other food to help lubricate it enough to go through. Most of the time, this was never a problem. I did become overfilled once, to the point I had to open capsules to take them. Someone else has mentioned allowing capsules to dissolve a bit in water, before trying to take them.
-
My doc told me to open the capsule and mix it with yogurt or pudding to take it.

I eat a few carbs like 4 crackers with a can of tuna or one slice of toast. I take in about 60 grams of protein in the form of powder, fish, cheese and yogurt. I have no restriction now at all and I feel hungry all the time. I feel that I have been eating more lately but still a very small amount compaired to what I was eating before. My doc only lets me walk at this point. So I usually do 5 miles 5 days a week. Im scheduled for a fill the day before thanksgiving. Truthfully, for 2 1/2 weeks I had less than 500 calories since it was all fluid. I dont understand how even during that time I didnt lose any weight. So having a fill may not necessarily change anything. Im so confused. Im doing everything he says and listening to what people say on here but nothing seems to be working. I havent lost hope. I was just wondering if any one else encountered this and when they started to lose weight.

Its my husbands first day home and 3rd day post op he is very happy to be home, but I have noticed its a little harder to keep him drinking fluids at home. I have enlisted the help of our kids, every time they walk by dad they ask him if he has drank something. It seems to be helping we went for a slow walk around our neighborhood park and he did great, the more he walks the easier it is to pass his gas, which means less belly pain. He is having sugar free jello 2oz every 15 min and will have some pain yogurt later today. He is trying to sleep but in a house with 3 kids, its a little hard. Hopefully this means he will sleep through the night. good luck to all the post ops and the future ops, your future is in your hands

Four days post op, and I feel hungry...
ThreeCrows posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok, not stomach hungry. I'm full of liquids, though I'm struggling to get in the 100 gms per day my surgeon recommends. I'm varying my intake with things on my list--Protein shakes, Jello, sugar free pudding and yogurt, broth, even 4oz a day of V8, which is my favorite. But my mouth is craving real food. I'm not a sweets person in general, I like protein and complex carbs, and I'm just so un satisfied. I'm dreaming about food, I would give my right arm for a piece of cheese. My surgeon recommends no carbs for a year, I can live with that I think, but I want to eat something real! I've read so much about people who feel n hunger at all. While my pouch feels full, I wouldn't describe this as "no hunger". Any suggestions? -
UGH that's rough. I have a weakness for ice cream, too. I used to sit and eat it with a spoon right out of the carton. Rocky Road was my favorite. Because I don't think I can control myself, I've had it exactly 1 time since surgery. And it was a couple spoonfuls from those machines at an all you can eat buffet type place. If I do decide to indulge, I'll stick with frozen yogurt

how to break through the dreaded 3 week stall?
gamergirl replied to Heather Meyer's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That sounds like classic lactose intolerance. Go to the store and get you some Lactaid pills and take 1-2 with your first sip of the shake or first bite of yogurt and it will stop. -
Binge Eating Food Funeral
Beth12 replied to crazeegl99's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm on my pre-op diet and have 6 lbs left to shed by April 8 th . I have been eating protein bars for meal replacements and they really work well with a cup of coffee . I try to stick to the 200 calorie ones and then I will have a container /!serving of Greek yogurt . I find this makes calorie counting easy . -
Any February sleevers Dr. Ismael Cabrera? looking for buddies
dkandsm replied to Back2BnPetite's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I did okay as far as sticking to the diet for 10 days, which also included 4 days of Clear liquids. My diet didn't include salad, but did have the 3 protein shakes per day along with sugar free jello and plain Greek yogurt. I didn't really lose any weight, however, which baffled me. Dr. Cabrera told me that he could tell I followed the pre op diet very well as my liver was shrunk up nicely. Following the diet for two weeks, I'm sure you will lose what you need to. Remember if you get too hungry, you can add some lean protein to the salad. Good luck to you; you can do it!!! -
I have found that the days I get high Protein (60g or more) I am not hungry at all and don't snack and pick. My diet mostly consists of cottage cheese, greek key lime yogurt with graham crackers, unsweetened tea with stevia sweetener and usually a few bites of whatever I made for dinner for everyone else. When I'm eating out I either get a bean burrito or a snack wrap. When I'm craving something sweet I have an Adkins protein snack bar. I always make protein my 1st course!

Bluck! Please tell me there's a better way!
CalicoskiesNC replied to mamato2js's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I didn't purée anything. I ate soups and creamy, mushy things. Refried beans, cottage cheese, yogurt, pudding, mashed veggies, cream of wheat. After my 2nd wk I got permission to move to soft mushy well chewed foods like pasta, eggs, baked tato, even chicken and ground beef. Just be sure to eat small well-chewed bites and measure portions so you don't overeat. -
Lots of soft foods have protein. Greek yogurt, oatmeal, refried beans, cottage cheese, soft poached fish, split pea soup Also, you might be able to tolerate protein bars soon if you stick with smooth texture ones that don't have seeds and nuts.

gemigirl replied to jtellechea001's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow! Im the 19th as well and my pre-op diet starts this Friday. I'm totally jealous of those cheese sticks. My diet is Protein shakes, yogurt, thinned cream Soups, sugar free Popsicles and Mios. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Just had my pre-op appt y'all, and after spending a decent amount of time reading all the wonderful info on this board, I'm feeling concerned/confused. I'm being banded next Thursday at Northwest Weight Loss Surgery in Everett, WA and we reviewed the post-op diet. I want to be succesful. I will follow what they tell me to do. BUT... ...they have recently revised their post-op to be: 1 week full liquids (which includes applesauce, yogurt, pudding), followed by 1 week of mushies (soft fish, scrambled eggs), then on to more solid foods. First fill at 4 weeks. I fully understand the need to have the band heal and settle in place. I'm seriously thinking of extending my phases to have an extra week of liquids and an extra week of mushies. I'll be damned if I move through things to fast just to cause issues down the road. Am I nuts??

Sick Of Protein Drinks!
BBdoodle replied to Stardusted's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hear ya !!! I'm 6 months post op and not very fond of them either but they are the best form of protein. Can you maybe change flavors or brands ?? Warning - don't even look at the protein shots they are absolutely discusting !!!! My doc wants me to have minimum 64 grams of protein daily, now that I am on regular food I do get more protein from food and will eliminate the shakes all together soon. Milk (low fat), Cottage cheese, yogurt, nuts, beans etc. are all high in protein. But you are only 2.5 weeks post op so probably still on liquid right? To get a extra bang I would make my shake with low fat milk to have some extra protein. Hang in there sweetie, the protein is a must to maintain health/nutrition and hair !!!
