Anybody else eating more and losing more? Once I broke the 1,000 a day the weight started to come off. I was nervous at first because I thought I was going to plateau but I knew -and my hair loss knew-that I needed more protein. Is this common with anyone else?

Hello Everyone! I'm so happy! I finally have my band! I had my surgery this past Monday. I'm a little sore in the the belly area but all is going well so far. I'm trying to get all my fluids in and my 3 8oz. liquid meals in. Does anyone have any suggestions on quick and tasty liquid meals? I'm on full liquids and have had protein drinks and blended soups, I don't know what to try beyond that, its kinda hard thinking of different ways to get in my protein. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

What are your favorite foods that you use to get all of your protein in. I am new to this (6 days post opt) and I am just worried that I am not going to be getting my required amounts of protein in like I should.

I was banded on 9/8 as well, and was worried about the same thing. I am a full-time college student, and the lack of energy that comes from not eating just isn't an option for me. My doctor said to up my Protein shakes to 3X a day, and even do the non-low fat ones if I needed to. That way I'd at least be getting about 1000 calories in.

Banned on 11/11 - And I'm So Hungry
NKINDLE posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banned on Veteran's Day and I was/am so excited. The doctor's never told me that "GAS" could be so painful. I stayed overnight in Virginia Hospital Center and then was released from the hospital the next evening. I was in so much pain. Needless to say, I was readmitted on the 13th for serve "GAS" pains. I stayed in the hospital until this Monday. I'm now back at work and the protein shakes and soup is just not doing it for me. So, I decided to have two spoonfuls of mashed sweet potatoes tonight. I'm not feeling any discomfort. Am I rushing it to fast? I'm soooo HUNGRY! Any suggestions/help is so needed right now! :blushing: -
I didn't have the option at the start of the year, Dr. K wasn't contracted with a coordinator company at that time. So, I was in the transition time between Omar and Lora, but Lora worked hard in the days just before I left to make sure I was 100% comfortable and ready to go. My experience once I got there was as expected... that is to say, all that I'd read and interviewed people about was just what we experienced. Since I went in February a friend of mine has worked direclty with them and been happy and I'm helping a family member set up their surgery with Dr. K. now and working direct also. So far so good!

I love Gold Standard in the double chocolate (the vitamin shoppe). It gives 24g of protein per scoop and it takes really good. Like a milkshake. It's about $23 for a big container that should last almost 2 weeks. Good luck.

No, I have not heard of Omni. What is it based on? It's been working for me to eat low carbs and adequate protein. I have about 45 to go, as well! Congratulations on your weight loss! ~hiddn

I promise your energy will start to come back. It does however take time. The most important thing is to make sure you stay hydrated. And then get your Protein in. If you can keep on on those things, your energy will come back. It just takes some time. I am 7 weeks out and it gets better every day. I still get a bit tired later in the day and I am only getting about 400 calories a day but they are good protein calories. Also, if your clinic has not started you back on Vitamins that will make a huge difference. Hang in there! You are on a terrific journey but it requires patience..... Good Luck!

Hi - I am new to this and just got my date with Dr. Alvarez for April 3rd - YIPEE!!! I am trying to do some research about Protein shakes and have gotten some mixed messages on the blogs. Some people say that the body absorbs only around 50% of the protein in these shakes, but other shakes with a particular digestive enzyme absorb 80-90% of the protein. Does anyone know where to get some accurate info about this topic? Thanks so much! VV2010

Banded 12/28, finally feeling better
willbehgb replied to willbehgb's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm so sorry to hear that you all have shared some of my struggles! I actually cried reading some of the posts from people who said they were up the next day doing laundry and cleaning. I too am happy with my weightloss thus far. I am supposed to be doing high Protein full liquids including Jello, pudding, and yogurt. I just can't do the protein!! I already have such a little desire to eat and the thought of putting high protein pudding in my mounth disgusts me! I did soft scamble an egg earlier and made it through most of that ok. I figured that would be a good way to get some protein in. -
Jif Chocolate Silk Peanut Butter
Kime-lou replied to Domika03's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I eat peanut butter and apples almost daily. The entire snack is about 150 calories, but it holds me for 4 hours and helps me get my protein in. I use the Jif Natural Low Sodium PB. Some times I will get indigestion from the PB, but I also have so nothing new there. I take a zantac a day and that prevents any issues. -
Jif Chocolate Silk Peanut Butter
harleymelm replied to Domika03's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Where might we find PB2? My protein drink of choice is chocolate. The peanut butter powder would kick it up for me. Getting enough protein is my biggest downfall. harleymelm -
My doctor calls for 3oz protein.

I switched to mushy food. 2oz protein and 1.5 oz carb. Small meals every 2-3 hours. I am not content after those meals. I need more to eat. If I eat 3oz of protein then I'm content. Can I do that?

Down 66 Pounds In 5 Months
Ms skinniness replied to Lisa821's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Along with bumping up the calories, drink a lot more water. You need more water due to your working out! Keep it up and switch it around. Keep your body guessing. Eat proteins, veggies and little starches in this order. This should help. -
So this is the first time I've had a headache since sleeved (oct. 30) I ate my Breakfast had my Water and my Protein srink. I'm not due to, eat for another 2 hours and I feel too full to drink. Could this headache be cause of hunger or just a headache? Also I am walking around right now.

Premier Protein ready to drink has 30g. per bottle. 2 of those and you're done. You can make Soups with double milk (milk mixed with milk powder) for extra protein. Make pudding the same way. Soft scrambled eggs, greek yogurt, tuna.

But after surg my dr said drink only water untill I feel I can stomach to take more in. Hydration is more important at first then the protein. U do need the protein but they really want u hydrated so start shakes when u feel I can.

My doctor told me to start the protein shakes 5 days after surgery. I had to pass gas first then start my 5 day count. Not sure what this was for, but this is what I was told and what I did. Do not buy a lot before surgery though, because I did and ended up not liking any of what I bought. I wasted so much food after surgery because my taste changed so much after surgery I couldn't eat or drink what I could before. Get a good sample of quite a few different ones before. As far as what you can put into proteins shakes just about anything you can stomach...everything has to be liquid and try to keep the acid down. I just drank the premixed ones. I am currently doing premier protein because it is 1 gram of sugar and 30 grams of protein.

How many calories are we suppose to be getting 5 months post-op? I count protein and fat as directed by my Dr. but wondering about calorie count?
