What I Eat in a Day at Fourteen Months Post-Op Gastric Bypass!

Подписаться 1,3 тыс.

50% 1

I am a gastric bypass post-op patient who also happens to be a primary health care provider. After many years talking to and treating patients on their own weight loss surgery journeys, I decided to have surgery myself. On my channel I discuss my own challenges, successes and updates regarding the process.
Cheesecake Recipe
1 1/2 C Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt
4 Egg Whites
2 T Sugar Free Cheesecake Pudding Mix
1 1/2 T Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup like Davinci or Torani
3 Packs Splenda
Mix until well-blended. Pour into lightly sprayed small baking dish or mini loaf pans. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Cut into servings when completely cooled. Refrigerate. Makes four servings.
In the video I topped the cheesecake with canned sugar free cherry pie mix and sugar free Redi Whip. I have also topped with a variety of low sugar fruits like berries or sugar free chocolate or caramel syrup. Yum!

I love the dark chocolate calcium bars! I would love to see how you prep and bring lunches/snacks with you to work. I'd love the recipe for protein cheesecake, that looks fantastic!

@kakisrnyjourney5376 5 месяцев назад

I will definitely do a video on that- the recipe is in the video description. Let me know what you think if you make it!

Thank you for sharing this! I really needed to see this today. I am 1 month post-op and sad to say I am also struggling with the 2 bite food thing. Though mine is struggle just to get that down. I have been in a two stall due to lack of calories. Just need time for my stomach to heal. It is always nice to watch one of your videos to put things into perspective Kaki. I appreciate you! Sending healing Dons way.

@kakisrnyjourney5376 5 месяцев назад

Thank you so much- I am glad the videos are of help. Hang in there- it will get much better 🙂

Looks like plenty of delicious foods

@kakisrnyjourney5376 5 месяцев назад

It was- I enjoy good food. I have expanded my palate a lot since surgery and am eating things that I did not enjoy before and loving them now!

@kyliefitzpatrick1256 5 месяцев назад

Hey Kaki, so good to hear Don is out of the hospital, you must be relieved. Tuesday I start my prep for repeat allergy testing, I’ll be coming off all my meds this time for 1 week 😮. My hubby is having surgery the day before I have my testing so our focus is on that. Not bariatric surgery, he’s having plastic surgery for skin cancer removals (occupational hazard here in Australia). Very useful video as always. Thank you - stay safe 😊

@kakisrnyjourney5376 5 месяцев назад

Thank you and how exciting about the allergy testing but I know that can be scary having to come off the meds!

@pennieobrien204 5 месяцев назад

Great video and very encouraging! Tomorrow is my 2- week surgiversary. I can’t wait to have eggs, tuna and toast and crackers. The protein shakes are so gross to me now. Glad your husband is doing better!

@kakisrnyjourney5376 5 месяцев назад

Congrats!!! How exciting- I remember being so glad to have eggs again!!

@valerieeclectica647 5 месяцев назад

I got sick of Premiere Protein shakes. I tried Fairlife, with 30 grams protein and it tastes like regular chocolate milk. Also Carbmaster chocolate milk at Kroger is really good.

@kellielambert2184 5 месяцев назад

Very enjoyable video Kaki and happy to hear your husband is on the mend. I found it very sad that someone considering weight loss surgery would change their mind as they cannot eat what they want. Eating what I want and too much of it was the reason I needed weight loss surgery in the first place. Ten months post mini gastric bypass I can eat what I want, only much much smaller portions. Of course some foods don’t agree with me, rice for instance, it just fills me up too quickly and is empty calories. I think anyone who has had weight loss surgery would agree that the first few months are tough, they are but my only regret is I didn’t have the surgery sooner than I did 😊

@kakisrnyjourney5376 5 месяцев назад

👏Amen!!! I am so thankful for this surgery and the way that my life has changed for the better since I had it!

@michellewilson1221 5 месяцев назад

Love these videos. thank you. I am almost 2 yrs PO and I have 40 lbs of regain to loose. I am keeping very low carb, higher protein and cals end up around 1500.... scale isn;t budging. I am lifting weights 3 times a week and have lost 1 inch all over but gosh it would be nice to see the scale move down.

@kakisrnyjourney5376 5 месяцев назад

Thank you- I know that must be frustrating! Good luck.

@reneelandis2858 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing what you eat! I’m 2 months post op and doing very well. I do have times where I’m not able to eat very much and feel like vomiting after I eat. Can be frustrating - on those days, my caloric intake is low.

@kakisrnyjourney5376 5 месяцев назад

Hang in there! I remember those early days- I often struggled to get in 600 cals per day.

@SaraShire 5 месяцев назад

I am still having to work to get my protein in. After coffee in the morning, I have a Fairlife protein shake, often mixed with cold coffee. I need to push the water consumption. I’ve been really itchy lately. I miss ibuprofen. Acetaminophen just doesn’t help much and I think it adds to my itchiness. I’m taking Benadryl but still itchy. I’m glad Don is out of the hospital.

@kakisrnyjourney5376 5 месяцев назад

It took me several mos to get my protein intake up. I hear ya on the Ibuprofen!!

I'm just under 3 weeks away from having my RNY bypass up in snowy Massachusetts, starting liquid diet next week! I have saved that cheesecake recipe for later. Thanks for the tip about the calcium chocolate! I've just placed an order and plan to ration them as a treat when I am able to have them, maybe a few months after surgery. Prayers for Don's continued recovery and thank you for continuing to make these videos.

Have you looked into Carbquik? It is a low carb mix like Biscuik but has 6G protein and 2 net carbs. 12 carbs overall per serving.

@kakisrnyjourney5376 5 месяцев назад

Awesome- I am going to look for that!

@taraskye80 5 месяцев назад

I will get a surgery date for RNY any day now. I'm 43, pre-diabetic and have sleep apnea. I know the surgery can help reverse those things, which is my main reason for having the surgery. I'm so scared, but I know I have to do it....

@kakisrnyjourney5376 5 месяцев назад

I bet you will do great- I was scared too but I am glad that I did not let it discourage me. I just wish I had done it sooner!

@valerieeclectica647 5 месяцев назад

Thanks as always. I look forward to going through your skin removal journey. Not sure if I’ll do that,but I’m learning everything I can.

Can you send me the link to order the pro care chocolate calcium chews that you displayed? I can’t find them on Amazon. Thanks! Surgi twin, Lorraine.

@qq1651 5 месяцев назад

So what are you striving for, daily, in calories, protein and fat? He mentioned 50 grams of "other" carbs but not the others and how much are you weighing now? How did you determine the numbers above?

@kakisrnyjourney5376 5 месяцев назад

I usually aim for 1200-1400 cals daily, at least 80 grams in protein. I try to only do 50 grams of non-veggie carbs, so I limit carbs from other sources but not non-starchy veggies. I am going by guidance from my program/dietitian as far as the carbs and protein. For the calories I have found that is the level that I maintain my weight at. I weight right at 150 lbs, so 130-133 lbs down 🙂 Of course all the numbers reflect maintenance.

Hello! Question…you have acid reflux? I thought RNY was supposed to correct this? 😢 I’m thinking about having a revision from vsg to RNY due to GERD…it’s unbearable

@kakisrnyjourney5376 5 месяцев назад

Hey there! I do not have acid reflux. My surgeon wants patients to take a PPI for the first year after RNY to minimize the risk of ulcers. I chose to continue taking one because I drink so much coffee I am concerned about an ulcer 🙂

@florence450 5 месяцев назад

Ahh I see. Ok thank you so much!

@melodymorris5384 5 месяцев назад

I had BSG yesterday. They also had to repair her hernia so I’m in a lot of pain but it’s from the hernia not from the surgery. How much in total have you lost? I know you had the bypass didn’t you?

@kakisrnyjourney5376 5 месяцев назад

I did have the bypass- I have lost 132 lbs total. Good luck and quick healing wishes!
