This is hard. Almost feel like I did right after surgery. 11 months out and getting a little reminder of what surgery felt like. Stomach hurts. Can't drink much at a time. No solid food. Dreading having to get some isopure. But even my syntrax shakes are killing my tummy. Diluted G2, sf Popsicles, if no improvement tomorrow adding isopure for protein. Ugh.... Feel so stinking weak. But working on not getting dehydrated. Fingers crossed I can tolerate some Greek yogurt tomorrow. Need sustenance.

Does this Sound Right?
kshallow replied to mattie7632's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mattie: it tends to take much more food for me to feel full than what I tend to see on here. Honestly I don't really understand the whole 1 cup type measure system. There are a whole bunch of foods it seems awkward to measure in terms of cups. I can easily eat for ex: 4 oz chicken breast. A heap of brocc/caulif. And yogurt mixed w/ fiber one for dessert. I've played around w my fill level and if I go tighter than I am now (6.5cc in 10 cc) it's too tight for me and I experience pain w lots of foods. Because I usually require more quantity to feel satisfied, I really try to stick to lower cal nutrient dense food......well, for the most part..., those damned peeps are getting the best of me -
Had my surgery on 10/17/12.... up until now was really wondering what the hell I was thinking. Well, really, I'm still thinking that. I'm just out of sorts. My Dr wants me to stay on Protein shakes, Water and yogurt for the first 21 days. That was making me feel so lethargic and yucky. Yesterday I ate three or four bites of egg and instantly felt better. Is it the different type of protein or is it just in my head? I'm still getting weak quicker than I expect. Still trying to find comfort zone. I started this process to be healthier for my granddaughter. To be able to be active and live longer with her. That is my prize, so each pound lost is more time with her, thus worth every minute of any discomfort I may have.

I am wanting some more variety. I have had a lot of cream of whatever Soups, yogurt, malt-o-meal. I also had some broth from homemade chicken Soup. That was great! =) I have been thinking...maybe broth from wonton soup? Maybe potato soup from Claim jumper? (strained of course) Do these sound ok? Anything else? Thanks. =)

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 !!! -
why no carbs phase two?
Heatherr replied to ladiebashful's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Plain greek yogurt does not have that many carbs. I'm thinking you got the sweetened kind. Get the plain and add sf syrup as pp suggested. It's also nice to use as a dip. Just mi seasonings in it, dry ranch dressing, dill, garlic and herbs, etc. and it makes a great dip for veggies or meat. -
The shakes will go right through you pretty fast. The denser Proteins will sit in your stomach much longer. My surgeon wants us off the shakes and getting protein from foods as soon as possible. When I mentioned that I occasionally still have a protein shake for Breakfast at almost six months, she was a little annoyed. I still do it anyway because I can make really tasty ones. I don't sip on them throughout the day because I like them fresh out of the blender and cold. The reason for getting on regular foods is that the protein shakes really do not give you everything you need nutritionally (certain amino acids, Vitamins, minerals and fiber) and for the fact that we basically should be not on a liquid diet for long. I eat tri tip, ribeye, sirloin, fillet mignon, turkey, chicken, ahi tuna, white fish, shellfish, pork, cheese, Greek yogurt, beans and nuts for protein. I don't like lamb or organ meats. Quinoa is a high protein grain I eat. Lots of calories and carbs, so a 1/4 cup serving usually does it. Treat it like couscous and add feta and cranberries or whatever.

Having Trouble Eating
lsereno replied to lkcraig316's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Lisa, I'm on my first week of soft foods and I don't want to eat most of the time either. I just set my timer and slog through it. I really want to get away from the Protein drinks so I've been eating 3 oz of protein per meal. I just can't face anything to solid first thing in the morning so I have 1/2 cup of greek yogurt (10 grams protein) for breakfast. I also have a couple of slices of peach, which I enjoy. Then I have a low-cal string cheese (8 grams of protein) mid-morning, 3 oz of turkey, chicken, ham, fish, or shrimp for lunch and dinner, and a Protein shake before bed. I've been making these with 4-5 strawberries, 4 oz of ice, 1/4 cup unsweetened soy milk, 1/4 cup Water, and a couple of spoons of splenda. I am eating only my favorite foods, but it is still hard to eat. I'm mot worried though because I've read of lots of people have problems early out and they resolve with time. I feel like my stomach is still healing, so I'm not surprised it's a little cranky when food gets shoved down there. Lynda -
So, I was sleeved on august 13th 2012... I lost 20 lbs pre op, and 14lbs the first week post op. I have stuck to this new way of eating. I've completely changed my eating habits. I have yet to get in my full amount of water, or protein, but I think if I focused more on that, I may be able to.. It doesn't really cross my mind much that I am thirsty, or need to drink, drink, drink lol. I still get that hungry feeling, but there are times when it takes me hours to feel it. There are other times where I feel hungry an hour or two after eating. I am on soft/regular foods, and have been eating things like chicken, cottage cheese, scrambled egg substitute, lowfat string cheese, Greek yogurt, etc. after my first week, I hit a stall.. which I've read is normal bc you're body is adjusting. This lasted 2-3 weeks, until the other day when I noticed I was down another 2-3 lbs, and then another .5-1lb. I can take more than a "SIP" of water, I have had a popsicle with sugar, (I use sugar substitute now) nothing I've ate has made me sick, or throw up. I have not had ANY problems... is this normal? I know everyone's experience is different, and although I was a little worried if I was actually sleeved... I know I have to be bc I eat much less, I have lost weight (first week) I'm just wondering if im doing something wrong? has anyone else had an experience like this? any tips? :/

The only thing I can't eat even to this day (a year later) is brocolli... It gives me severe gastric distress (think contractions,labor pains..ya that's it).. Didnt have the slightest issue before surgery..very odd... basics for me are: Tuna, Cottage Cheese, Pinto beans,Guacamole, Sour Cream (pair the last 3 and yum-o!) yogurt, steak, chicken, hamburger, I shy away from bread and pasta only because it fills me up too soon and cant eat the good stuff, so i basically eat a Atkins type diet...So far so good!!! Good luck Ya'll

I am on my 6th day pre-op and was wondering how you guys know when you're hungry. For the first few days I didn't feel anything at all, so sipping was automatic. Yesterday I had some yogurt in the evening and that was okay. But this morning I felt this horrible feeling that felt like it was coming from the base of my stomach, like a twisting, knotting, want to throw up feeling. It was quasi-painful and made me double over. Is this how I'm going to know I'm hungry from now on? I'm assuming it's hunger because there is nothing else wrong with me and the feeling is going away as I eat my egg. Just curious on the thoughts of others. Thanks.

Could Any One Give Me A Diet For One Day?
thebionicbroad replied to sallynew's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 3 1/2 months post-op. Breakfast: 8 oz. unsweetened vanilla almond milk with 1 scoop Isopure Dutch chocolate. Mid-morning: 5 oz. Greek yogurt with 2 oz. berries. If I'm busy, I skip this and have a cup of coffee with 2% milk. Lunch: 2 - 3 oz. of left-over dinner. Dinner: 2 - 3 oz. Protein with a bit of veg. Dessert: 1 Atkins bar. -
Cream soup... help?
magpie30 replied to danelle235's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
try something else instead, like greek yogurt, Cottage cheese ( was considered a full liquid for me) or re-fried beans. Give your tummy a few days then try the soup again. It may be you just don't tolerate it. I ate cream soups twice and i never want to eat another one again. Good luck!! -
Cream soup... help?
sherrypep replied to danelle235's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am about 3 weeks out and can not eat cream soup. I think its the heavy cream in it. I got the same way except it came out the other end plus a horrid stomach ache. I lived on greek yogurt, the 80 calorie light and fit. My Dr. did not have a problem with the fruit in it so it worked for me. -
You are not alone. I'm 3 years out and have gained 50 pounds.. ugh I hate just even typing that out! The best advice I have read is that we still have our tools, so we need to take advantage of that. I've been back on track these last 3 days, I went back to the foods I ate when I was losing (chicken, tuna, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, cheese, low carb veggies) I've been eating Protein first, then LC veggies and it seems to be really helping alot! I've also been drinking a ton of Water and brewed green tea, I never cared for it much before but now I love it. Good thing you're doing something about it now before it became more. Wishing you the best of luck, you can do this!

Tuba or salmon patties. I buy them Pre made in a pouch like regular tuna. High protein and low cal. That plus some salad or veggies keeps mr full about 5 hrs. And I have gone back to homemade protein smoothies in the morning. Fresh fruit. Ice. Greek yogurt. Lots of person and my fiber too since I add benefiber powder. I I get hungry and need a snack a handful of almonds or a 90cal fiber one bar tides me over.

Nutrition plan share away.
Inner Surfer Girl replied to OneLostJourney's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My first week was clear liquids so I used premier protein (my surgeon allowed this as an exception to the clear rule), and ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrate. My second week was full liquids (which also included Greek yogurt and cottage cheese). I also used ProtiDiet creamy chicken and tomato basil soup. -
Nutrition plan share away.
OneLostJourney replied to OneLostJourney's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you all. However my surgeons suggestions are if it matches the consistency than u can go with it. Cream of wheat is way tom heavy and has zero nutrition. I am against caned food so fresh Miso Soup is full of protein and it's like water. And being I'm trying to get out of diabetes having a drinkable yogurt loaded with sugar is not a good idea when cultured milk is a natural praboitic with protein same consistency as yogurt even thiner. I would say look further for much better items and ask your doc those are just few suggestions they put on paper. -
Hi Sassy. Welcome to LBT. I've seen a few people say their surgeons keep them on liquids for up to four weeks post-op. I was on mushies starting at two weeks, but I think I could have managed with full liquids if I was allowed to use some of the great Protein shake recipes I've seen on this site. Are you allowed to add bananas, Greek yogurt and various other fruits to your shakes (if you're even drinking them)? There are some recipes that sound pretty filling. Also, I would rely heavily on blended black bean Soup (if you're allowed the consistency that can pass through a straw). I also read a Salsa pumpkin Soup recipe that sounded like it could be whipped up to whatever consistency you're allowed to have by adding more broth. I believe it contained corn, which I would leave out at your stage of healing. There's a whole nutrition and recipe forum here on LBT that might give you some ideas. Good luck, and hang in there!!
