Saw this on the Skinny Taste blog and thought it was worth a try. It was really delicious - though I think the 1.5 cups of Greek yogurt was overkill for 16 ounces of chicken. I might try just a cup next time and that saves some carbs. Made as is in the recipe, MFP calculated the nutrition per serving (for 8 total servings ) at 116 calories, 7 carbs, 4 grams fat, 14 grams protein! Pistachio Cinnamon Chicken salad 16 oz cooked shredded boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1 1/2 cups Fat-Free Greek plain yogurt ½ cup pistachios, finely chopped 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp fresh lime juice 4 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped 1 stalk celery, finely chopped 1/4 tsp sea salt 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper 2 scallions, finely chopped Shred cooked chicken breast using a fork; place in a large mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients; gently toss to combine. Transfer to serving bowls. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Sprinkle with additional scallions.

I was told the point is to drink liquids/shakes. The liquid process is for the liver to shrink, so that they can perform the surgery more effectively. Additionally, to train you to survive off of liquids post-op. I was told that even though you are on a liquid diet you should still try to drink as close to 1,200 calories as possible. so 3 shakes at 160=480cal. And last thing they also told me that I can have some limited things; like vegetables (once a day), yogurt, cottage cheese. oatmeal, everything has to be plain. no butter, seasonings, salad dressing, sugar, etc. I got a lot of info from the internet also. Search "shrink liver" Lastly, NO soda or caffeine.

Sweet tooth...and the band
Band_Groupie replied to -petra-'s topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've always said I could live on bread and chocolate. I keep the Russel Stover's SF chocolates (big variety of fillings and dark or milk) as well as other sweets like SF preserves to put on Greek yogurt, SF maple syrup to go on my morning oatmeal, and SF fudgesicles, popsicles and creamsicles. I have one of those chocolates most nights after dinner and that gives me something to look forward to. I'm about 6 mo. out and a very good yo-yo dieter. I've never gone this long without losing it on sweets big time a lot. I have my moment when head hunger wins, but now I can have a bit and I'm OK...it's the weirdest thing. I've taken the attitude that nothing is ever off limits and I don't feel deprived like I have on other diets. If you're really worried about this, I'd at least discuss RNY with my doc as that would give you the added feedback of dumping that some (not all) get. -
As long as I got enough protein, I find protein drinks are good. When I was doing my pseudo liquid diet (two shakes, one protein bar, two Greek yogurts a day) I was getting over 80g of protein daily. I was not super hungry.

Quick & Easy Suggestions?
1poundatatime replied to chuswysly's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm only about 6 weeks out, but I keep the fridge stocked with cheese strings, meat, greek yogurt, apple sauce for snacks. If I need a quick meal that I haven't prepared for I have several cans of soup in the pantry (kinda high in sodium, but better than some options). I also set aside leftovers from the night before for lunches. -
Am I drinking too much milk?
No game replied to megansmommy123's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It took me a while to wrap my head around it too. But in the beginning stages especially its a good way to get your protein in easily. Now that I'm further out I don't drink shakes everyday anymore I can get protein through lean meats. But I have a bit of cheese everyday and Without fail a Fage 2% Greek yogurt with Splenda and frozen blueberries! As a matter of fact that will be my dinner tonight. -
Loosing the pre op weight.
FailureIsntAnOption replied to heyred1's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My liver shrinking diet consisted of a Muscle Milk for Breakfast, low fat cheese between lunch and bfast. For lunch I had two In-n-out Protein style burgers (wrapped in lettuce instead of bun or another Muscle Milk. Lowfat yogurt or another low fat cheese stick for snack and for dinner a grilled chicken breast and some broccoli. I lost 11 pounds in 10 days doing this. Also, be sure to get out for at least a 30 minute walk each day. Good luck to you! Banded 4/17/09 w/.08 cc First fill 5/30/09 1.6 cc -

So happy with this sleeve ! 8 weeks out
Nicholej replied to Harley59's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was about where you are 4 days ago, but today is my 15th day post-op and I turned a corner (thankfully)! I feel amazing today, minimal pain and it's the last day I have be on clear liquids. It was also my first day back to work! I'm not sure if you are on clear or full liquids? Clear liquids-drink broth, protein shakes made with water, Isopure, SF/no carb Jello, SF/no-carb popsicles. Full liquids-Drink protein with almond or skim milk (Syntrax nectar is my favorite protein-no carbs, mixes well with water or milks), low-fat creamy soups (such as low fat/low carb butternut squash soup or tomato soup or cream of broccoli soup with the chunks strained out). I use Ideal Protein or Barwise products, but you can also make your own from scratch if you have time. Soft foods phase-eat scrambled eggs or tofu, low-fat cottage cheese, low-fat SF yogurt (use Fage Greek fat free for optimal protein with low carbs). Eat only 2 oz at a time. Do not drink 30 minutes before or after you eat to train yourself to eat slowly and fill on 2 oz. If you drink while you eat, you will eat more than you should and can stretch your stomach which will ultimately lead to slowed or stopped weight loss. Eventually this will become weight gain. Phase 4-lifelong phase is food you can tolerate, only 2 oz at a time, chew/chew/chew! No beverage 30 minutes before and after eating. Set a timer on your phone to help you. Journal everything you eat to hold yourself accountable. Please let me know if you want me to email you my post-op eating plan. All the best to you! It will get better and suddenly you will feel amazing! Thank you so much for all of the information, yes please if you don't mind emailing it to me I would appreciate it. -
Everyday I work my way up to solids..I start with coffee and yogurt for breakfast... some mushie protein for lunch and a solid for dinner...if I push myself in the morning I feel like my band doesn't work for the rest of the day....finicky damn thing

I think Im doing better than I thought I would. Ive been walking around as much as possible since the day of surgery (aug 6). I cant seem to get all the water in it literally seems impossible. Everytime I sip I hear it through my body and it even hurts a little going down. My stomach growls and burns but I really dont have an appetite so I ate a light yogurt. Im not going to lie, my family from out of town came over and cooked and I snuck a teaspoon of potato salad mashed it up as much as I could and chewed it as well.. I didnt get sick but felt full and satisfied. I need some options on what to consume besides protein shakes to get my protein in and how can I get all these damn fluids in.. uggh!

Honestly, I wouldn't worry about "stages" -- instead I would revert to being sure you are maintaining sleeve-friendly eating habits. These are the rules for "getting back on track" as per my practice: 3 small meals per day. No snacks other than protein shakes. Your meals should consist of lean protein, green vegetables, and Greek yogurt. Aim for under 1000 calories per day. Minimum of 75 grams of protein and max 60 grams of carbs. Track everything on myfitnesspal or a similar logging site. Good luck!

I get a lot of my daily protein from chicken, eggs, cheese, and yogurt. Those are my main sources.

Sudden and excruciating pain 3 weeks out
byjenna posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery 3 weeks ago. It's been rough. Not able to eat anything but jello, popsicles and the occasional bit of yogurt. Protein is tough too but I am trying. I've lost 47 pounds (surgery weight was 264) which seems fast. I'm taking all of my vitamins and actually went back to work on Monday. I worked at my desk, took it slow, no big flights of stairs on both Monday and Tuesday. I even left a bit early. Tuesday night I began having excruciating pain in my upper right side. I couldn't sleep and getting up was near impossible. The pain moved into my legs for a few hours as well which was very scary. Weird thing is that I could have sworn on Tuesday at my desk I felt a popping in that same area, almost like a snap or an electric shock. I stayed home today but the pain is even worse. No fever. No vomiting. I don't want to be a wuss but it seems odd that 3 weeks out I would develop the worst pain yet. Am I overreacting? Any recommendations? -
Hey now, there are unflavored Proteins out there that don't taste terrible - I like the Syntrax brand. I'm not sure the Greek yogurt would work, though it might be an interesting texture change. How much tahini does your recipe call for? My small batch (from scratch) recipe calls for 2 Tbs. and an equal amount of Greek yogurt has almost the same amount of Protein (though it is less in fat). Anyway, if you cut the tahini out and miss the flavor just blend in a touch of sesame oil to make up some of what you're missing. To me it simply wouldn't taste "right" without it. For a change of pace, I make dips from black Beans or cannellini beans, too. If you want more protein from your chickpeas, make a salad with hardboiled eggs and veggies. That's what I'm eating for lunch right now. ~Cheri

Protein - How MuCH and does it cause GAS?
BaileyRose replied to Tamie2169's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Greek yogurt has a good amount of protein too. You could try that.
