For those eating under 1000 calories
notmyname replied to stilljustafatguy's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
This is a fairly typical day for me. I always start the workday with either quark or greek yogurt and blueberries (frozen and defrosted on the way to work - gives it a bit of texture). Plus usually a homemade latte with 8oz milk Lunch is often ricotta bake. On this day, i had leftover tofu. Some days I have parm chips and hummus I almost always have a snack of either a Sargento nut snack pack (nuts, cheese, cranberries) or cheese. This day I had both. Dinner is usually 1-2 oz of shrimp/shrimp, ricotta bake, or tofu. In a perfect world, I'd add veggies to those meals. BUT I still get very sick when I eat (8 months out), so I only eat the bare minimum to get my protein. If I added veg, I'd never be able to get my protein in. And I MISS veggies! -

Me too, plus I seldom can keep pureed meats et all down, good news, Precious has finally allowed me to keep down Greek Yogurt,CAN cottage cheese be far behind? But a minimum of 2 protein shakes if not 3 to keep my protein levels close to appropriate. Nobody has checked my blood lavs, haven't had a complete since March, my l8cal hospital, even with the incidentals they've taken when I was there for other things, refuses to do a Fe(iron) level, won't do it on my request, I'm only a patient so at a low contemptible level of life. Maybe say" Please Please Please" at Tomkittens appointment on Thursday. Since I had to have an Iron INFUSION OVER 3 MONTHS AGO somebody better be checking into this! Maybe I should have asked Santa Claus for a complete Pathology lab for Christmas 2018 ! Felt sorry for the Fat Dude so cut him so slack I case he was in the midst of Weight Loss himself. Must grease his body to get down all those furnance and woodstove piping! -
protein shakes make me puke
Butterfly#7 replied to jennj's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Make your own protein shake, because like you all of the ready made ones make me sick also. So I use the unflavored Isopure Protein powder and make my own shake with fruit and yogurt-like a smoothie. -

No true change to dumping or GERD but I wanted to give it long enough to prove right or wrong I mix Matcha (green tea) powder with liquid lemon stevia into unflavored greek yogurt Its my absolute favorite variation I imagine it would work with any type of yogurt or substitute -

I'm back BABY!!! Temporarily anyway... I missed yogurt sooooo much. After 2 months without it, plus doctor's visits tp confirm, the conclusion is giving it up probably won't solve my dumping or GERD so here we are together again at last ❤ Matcha lemon yogurt with nuts and raisins (completely mixed in) before and after -
Eat really slow. Measure your food. If you think you’re full, you probably are. I just started soft food this week and it is like a full time job eating all day and waiting to drink and drinking enough and taking pills at the right time. Pack things that are quick and easy. I eat a lot of string cheese right now, yogurt, cottage cheese. I have been eating the crockpot shredded chicken I made earlier this week for several days. Boring maybe but so much better than all liquids I don’t really mind at all🤣

Lap Band revision to RNY?
always replied to SkinnyKathy's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Hi, I had a Lap and done 12 years ago. It was amazing until it wasn't lost all excess weight except 20+ still to go. I regained it all when the band slipped. All those foods I had missed I went crazy. Wow a big Mac had never tasted so good. So conversion done on May 23rd so I can only give you a 1 month opinion. It is so different in a better way. I don't have that constant choking pressure like with the band. Drinking and eating is harder. I'm 4 weeks out and still on liquids I can't advancement 1 bite of anything eggs,yogurt,etc and it feels like a turkey dinner. They said with 1 step there is a lot of swelling and it takes time. So maybe the 2 step for healing is a better option. They did barium studies and everything looks good just moving and healing slow. Lots of meds go with RNY. At present 2 omiprazole a day you open capsule and take the granules. 2 zantac a day, 1 bariatric complete MVI, A Med to stop Gallstone development, Vitamins for hair. I vomited a lot with the band not once with this. Also no fills needed I won't miss that. So the right choice for me no regrets at all. My loss isn't normal because I am not on track with the program yet stuck in phase 1 with fluids. So with 2 week liquid pre op diet and 4 weeks out so a total of 6 weeks fluids I have lost 34 lbs. To be honest I was 80lbs over weight not the 100+ needed for insurance approval. I had these procedures for medical issues that is how I was approved. Good luck on your procedures. -
things like protein shakes and Greek yogurt go right through you - we sometimes refer to them as slider foods. They're fine to eat/drink, but they're not going to make you feel as full as dense protein does.

I've eaten fruit pretty much from the start, but not very much the first year. A few berries on my Greek yogurt was about it. Or maybe a quarter of a banana and a few berries whirred into my protein shake. Fruit is very nutritious but has a lot of sugar in it, so watch that. Some of us (not me - but a lot of people) are very carb-sensitive, so something like fruit can start up the sugar cravings.

I had gastric sleeve surgery exactly 3 weeks ago today. My nutritionist forbade me to drink smoothies because of the sugar content. My calves were extremely sore after surgery and it wasn’t due to blood clots but a deficiency of potassium. So, my husband made me a strawberry banana smoothie with nonfat Greek yogurt and added my protein powder. The smoothie was great! It didn’t upset my stomach and my calves started feeling better. I also don’t like -premade protein shakes so now I make me a smoothie everyday and add my protein powder. I’m still losing weight. So I was just wondering if anyone else was told to stay away from fruit smoothies, but found them to be helpful?

It’s been exactly 3 weeks since I had the gastric sleeve surgery and I’m really having difficulty adjusting to my new stomach! Specifically, I am having difficulty gauging when I’m full. I’m just starting the puréed stage and I will feel fine when I eat a few spoonfuls of food and then I will feel terribly full and it is so uncomfortable! Oddly, I can drink a protein shake (10 oz.) or eat yogurt (8 oz) and I feel fine. When I try to eat puréed meat and vegetables, some how I eat too much. Do I really have to count how many spoonfuls I can eat? Most importantly is there anything that I can do to get relief from that horrible fullness feeling? I have heard other people say that their body gives them a sign when they are full but my body keeps fooling me? I’m so frustrated and starting to dread even having this procedure!

I sometimes mix 1/2 T of unsweetened cocoa powder into a thing of vanilla Carbmaster or Light & Fit yogurt and then throw a few raspberries on top. I also usually have a container or two of Ice Breakers around all the time - but although they are sugar free, they're empty calories - but having just three or four isn't horrible - and better than binging on cookies or something.

Seems like I do a great job at work sticking to my healthy eating habits - greek yogurt for breakfast; P3, tuna or chicken salad for lunch; protein bar in the afternoon. Then I get home in the evening and the craving for sweets intensifies times ten! I'm sneaking handfuls of cereal, eating my daughter's granola bars, etc. I have the calories to spare usually but I need to spend them on healthier choices instead of pure sugar!

Retraining your brain does anyone understand it
Tracyringo replied to BlueAngelEyes's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was on full liquids the first 10 days cream of wheat, yogurt, creamed soups, smoothies, oatmeal, ect. Then soft foods scrambled eggs, beans, cheese, grits. Drs. guidelines vary so much that first month. Good luck to you -

And I made myself sugar- free puddings or tapioca with stevia, used to like rice, but it balls up in my pouch, won't move on through so I Have to puke it up. And yes I do still urp and puke, very few days without it, I do not exceed the designated amounts, still happens. Just finally able to tolerate Greek Yogurt , it and cottage have always refluxed back up every since surgery, 2 other illogical things-Peanut butter, even PB2 powder, and bananas, doesn't matter how ripe they are. Don't try hiding these in smoothies, Precious Pouch knows and MUST have her way!

I think it could depend on how long ago you started the pre-op diet from your first nutritional visit. If you're already used to drinking shakes, etc, then the 2 week pre-op diet shouldn't be too hard, you're just adding a couple more shakes to the day and eating some yogurt, popsicles, etc. My nutritionist considered cottage cheese to be a liquid, so I took full advantage of that fact. I only had to do clear liquids the day before and the week after surgery. Just make sure you stay busy and the two weeks will go by fast enough. You'll be too excited for the upcoming procedure to worry about eating anyways. Drink more water than you ever have before too, that helps a ton. Good luck to you

lyladyp replied to BlueAngelEyes's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Great post! I had to laugh at you referencing how the sleeve was discovered by sheer accident- so true! @BlueAngelEyes After finding this page, I did not realize the variation in each doctor's before/after surgery orders are. My husband had the sleeve a few years ago and he was on liquids for six weeks, then allowed to pureed/soft foods for a month and then transition into full eating. I went through a different practice and I was only on full liquids for about 7 days, then 10 days of soft/pureed and next eating whatever agrees with my system. I do not think there is one right way, but the doctors are following the guidelines that they believe work. I for one was hungry literally by the end of my first week. I was over the liquid shakes and think I demolished a box of sugar-free Popsicles in a couple of days. I looked forward to eggs, yogurt and cottage cheese but honestly was tired of that after a couple of days. I would advise that you contact your doctor or dietitian before moving along because you want to ensure that your body can actually tolerate the foods that you want to consume. So far the only meat protein that I have been able to tolerate without feeling sick are eggs, pork chops and flounder (after trying chicken, salmon, small portions of beef and lamb). This is definitely not a fun process, but you want to make sure you are prepared mentally as well as physically before moving on. I wish you the best! -

I found these! http://www.franklinfoods.com/greek-cream-cheese https://www.kroger.com/p/kroger-greek-cream-cheese-spread-with-greek-nonfat-yogurt/0001111086130 Bummer the Franklin Foods is only at 1 local chain (Sprouts), not well distributed in the West at all. The Kroger one is definitely not at my local Kroger store, but not surprising. It is a "value" banner, and doesn't cater to a demographic that is necessarily looking for more healthful options -

Kate, have you tried the Greek yogurt cream cheese? Tastes much better than the light and higher protein, lower fat! I love it! -

NEGirl72 replied to BulletWithButterflyWings's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Had surgery yesterday and it went great. I haven’t had really any pain nor gas issues but had two times when the nausea was awful. Last night they gave me a couple of medications for it because zofran didn’t work on its own. Thankfully I didn’t throw up. Been waking the halls a lot. Today I got a protein shake and it literally took me all day to sip. Lol. I’ve also had ice water, a couple of bites of yogurt and a few sips of tomato soup. Overall feeling good. Only time I feel icky is when I take too many sips...I get a heavy feeling like I have to burp. Going on my walks I saw someone else with a protein shake... I want to say hi but don’t want to invade anyone’s privacy. Lol I should be released tomorrow...my Dr is on the conservative side and likes to keep people 2 nights. Good luck to everyone going tomorrow! -
I have the same question...except it seems no matter what brand I try, I can not tolerate Greek yogurt. The only exception is if it's mixed in with stuff like in a dip. I'm in the pre-op diet stage and low fat yogurt is on the acceptable foods list. The trouble is, I can't seem to figure out what kind to get since so many low fat yogurts are surprisingly high in sugar. Any help is appreciated!
