I have to know if we can have sf ice cream during the full liquid stage or if we can have sf frozen yogurt.....My throat is so raw from the intubation and cold things make it feel better. I know ice cream is not a good food choice but with me being limited to certain things for right now I do not see where it would hurt in a small amount and being sf....please do not respond to tell me that this is a bad food choice this is only something I am wanting to do for a few days to soothe my throat......Thank you

Can't "stomach" protein drinks any longer
TexasRose replied to NowNotSoBigGuy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Post surgery: Chocolate Boost on the edge of being frozen was the only thing that I could tolerate. Now: Smoothie King's yogurt d-lite + extra whey protein (38 grams of protein, ~450 calories = total meal replacement) -
Hives from protein shakes?
yiayia replied to Itsaboutme12's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Question: I developed an awful itch a few days after surgery. I got medicine, i was told I would be feeling great after the first day, and now it's day 2, I've woken up with my eye lids puffy and huge bags under my eyes ! I don't know what exactly my body is reacting to! All I've had is premier shakes and water and yogurt, if anyone has had this happen, please write back, Ty . -
whats on your grocery list?
Georgia replied to GENNYOSKINNY's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Do you ever use Greek yogurt for the dip instead, I'm not up on cals. Does sour cream have less? Also, have you ever tried the 100 cal packs of wholly guacamole ( I actually like the walmart brand better). It is excellent for dipping veggies in and a good fat. Yeah, I do the lower cal lean cuisine or smart one meals a few times a week too. Like 230 cals or so since I'm 3 plus years out. I eat Special K Protein cereal with soy or skim milk ( just enough to "wet" it. some mornings I love mini babybel light cheeses. 50 cals. And sometimes just grab a couple of these for breakfast. -
So, just a quick update to remember. I have had my 4th fill. I am up to 6cc's now and I feel great. My weight is down to 192 and it keeps going down. Boot camp three mornings a week is making a huge difference and making me want to exercise more. The restriction is great. I will say i do have trouble almost daily with either sliming and/or PB'ing. Its almost like i have the first bite syndrome. Once i get over the 1st bite, i may have to run to the bathroom. Then after I am fine to finish my meal. I eat about a cup three times a day, i have 1 protein shake and 1 greek yogurt. Thats my days and I feel great! I am off to the beach for a week and I hope to continue to exercise on my own and eat good choices. We will see!! So, lets see: Started this journey at 224. Today I am at 192. Not too bad!!

Please any help / advice would be greatly appreciated! Newly post-op
Ruthi replied to photogirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am like Oregan Daisy, the liquids werent a problem at all, my head told me I was hungry all the time. I was having doubts as to if the Dr did anything at all but as the liquids got thicker, like yogurt and pudding, it was definitely noticeable. Dont worry, its going to work for you. Welcome to the site, we love new sleeve sisters. -
Thanks for this tip! I was just having Plain Greek Yogurt as I was reading this and had Crystal light tried Raspberry in it and it is awesome! G

So there I was at work with a plain greek yogurt and no Torani Syrup to flavor it, so I start digging around and find a crystal light packet fruit punch flavor and pour it in...... I have to say IT WAS GOOD! I think I might just like it better than the Torani Syrup

My post op put me on full liquids the day I came home from the hospital. I found 2 oz serving containers in the party section of my local Walmart and I put my yogurt, soup, sf jello, sf pudding, etc into those. I also bought baby spoons. Using that container and the baby spoon, it takes me 20-30 minutes to eat.

What?!!! Something better than Greek yogurt with Torani syrup? I can't wait to try it.... Thanks for posting the tip!

Read the above and take my other hand and hold on tight. The three of us can do this. When that food craving hits change the channel. Think of something else. Pre-plan what you will eat. When possible pre measure your food and have it ready to go. I have pouches of tuna in the cabinet. Pre measured portions of cottage cheese and yogurt in the refrigerator. I keep the family's Snacks out of my site. Portion control is big for me. I can easily overeat if I don't weigh and measure. YOU GOT THIS! Had lapband surgery 10/12/16

Greek Yogurt
Beth Brady Culberson replied to chanale's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you for sharing this idea!! I have never liked plain yogurt! But I need it due to a yeast infection from the antibiotics at surgery time! I am 1 week and 1 day out of surgery! Thank you so very much!! -
I would mix in some flavored protein powder or Torani SF syrup - or both! On purees I was also allowed to stir in a spoonful of peanut butter or almond butter and that was really good. I don't know if that sort of thing is allowed on your plan though. I wasn't allowed yogurt on full liquids so it was a little different for me in terms of what I could add to yogurt when I was allowed to eat it!

What are you guys eating?
tink401 replied to princesswarrior's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My typical day is eggs or a protein drink for breakfast. Chicken or turkey and cheese for lunch. Chicken, fish or steak for dinner with a little salad or couple bites of veggies. Some of my favorite snacks are yogurt, apple with PB, cheese sticks, pepperoni chips, quest bar and nuts. -
7cc in 10cc band, THREE FILLS & still NO RESTRICTION??
FunkyGirl replied to drewsmom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You are not alone in this...I am having a similar issue...I am playing around with the same 3 pds. Up and down. Today i visited lapband.com again & looked at the eating requirements for the 1st year after surgery. I have read the requirements over & over but today I feel like I woke up to the reality of how hard it is and I have to be committed to cutting the calories and making myself work out at least 3 times a week. Here's the basic requirements : Daily: 1 to 2 servings of Fruit (1.5 cups) 2 to 3 servings of Veggies (2.5 cups) 1 small portion of cornflakes for Breakfast (One small portion of low-sugar cold or hot cereal) Half to one slice of toasted whole wheat or rye bread each day 1 to 2 oz of meat, fish, poultry or 1 egg 2 cups of skim milk or lowfat yogurt 1 oz of cheese 3 to 4 teaspoons of Fat (butter/oil) Unlimited: Tea Clear Soup Water Flavored sugar free drinks I know that I have not obtained the "zone" yet...so I can not wait until my next fill. Keep your chin up...we will do this! -
Thank you! I spoke to my Nutritionist and he advised if crystal light is easier then I should drink that instead of water. He recommended blending it and adding a bit of light mayo or greek yogurt. I'll try that along with scrambled eggs. Thanks for your advice!

Freaking out - help please
CMTurner replied to wvgal33's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey gal. I just posted on another of your posts and also sent you a message. BUt here is the liver shrink diet my doctor and nutritionist gave me to follow 2 weeks prior to surgery: Liver Shrink Diet Remember: Vegetables ar unlimited on this diet. (except potatoes, corn, Beans, and peas. Breakfast Protein shake or Protein Bar (You may use any shake as long as it has 220 or less calories and 10g or less fat/serving) Mid Morning Snack 1 small piece of fruit (if you have Diabetes add 4 oz low-fat yogurt) lunch Protein Bar (220 calories of less and 10g or less of fat) or Shake Mid Afternoon Snack 1 small piece of fruit (add 4 oz low-fat yogurt if you have Diabetes) dinner 3 oz meat (lean) - The size of a deck of cards steamed vegetables or salad with Fat-free salad dressing 6 unsalted crackers or 2 slices low calorie bread or 1 small baked potato 1/2 c fruit or 1 small piece of fruit Evening Snack 1 small piece of fruit (add 4 oz low-fat yogurt if you are Diabetic) (You may have non-caloric beverages on this diet) NO ALCOHOL!!!!!!!! Examples: Decaf. Tea, Crystal Light, sugar-free Kool-Aid, Water Follow This 1 Day Prior To Surgery: Clear liquids only including Jello, broth, juice, and any beverages listed above. Jello can be congealed, but do not put fruit in it it. (NO RED JELLO) & NOTHING TO EAT PAST MIDNIGHT (of course). This is just what my surgeon and nutritionist gave me. Of course everyone's seems different but I just thought I would give you something to go on. October 29th will be here before we know it!! We will both rock this band. :tt1: -
make sure you get the plain yogurt. the fruit and even vanilla have a lot of sugar in them. I bought the Smuckers sugar free preserved and put that in the yogurt. good flavor, little calories and no sugar.

Not loosing weight after one point !
catwoman7 replied to Neossa's topic in Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery Forum
my snacks are usually something like a protein shake or a Dannon Light & Fit Greek yogurt. Occasionally I'll have some baby carrots with about 1/4 C hummus (raw vegetables can be hard on my stomach, even two years out, but because they can be irritating, it stops me from eating too much. Hey - whatever works!). At night I'll sometimes have a couple of sugar free popsicles. Like raw vegetables, the sugar alcohols in sugar free popsicles bother my stomach, so all I can handle is two of them. I also eat Light & Fit yogurt occasionally at night, too, especially if I'm craving ice cream. The creaminess/sweetness/dairy aspect of the yogurt hit the same spot as ice cream would. I also drink *a lot* of fluid (usually Crystal Light) - which helps sometimes, but I know sometimes you just have to have real food... -
I'm the type that has to be very diligent about fiber and I"m less than 3 weeks post op... but trying. I have been putting wheat germ in my yogurt each morning ( I tried flax seed but the flavor- ick! - also - dr. said to avoid seeds too...). I shoot for 20g. per day for now on soft foods. I have a type of bean/ lentil soup or main dish (soft of course) for at least 1 meal per day and my eas myloplex lite shake as 5g per so that helps as well. I'm not a huge meat eater to begin with but finding I might end up going vegan to ensure I get my fiber in given such a small space for food. Beans seem to be the only way I'm going to come close to getting my fiber in every day.

I didn't eat baby food or pure anything. I did eat a lot of soup and used my immersion blender to smooth it all out. I couldn't stand the thought of pureed meat but some do and like it. Protein shakes, yogurt and soups for me

11 weeks post-op, solid food not easy
FluffyChix replied to MassMom's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Also staying fully hydrated helps you pass things through your pouch and makes it "less sticky-ish." That was from Dr. Alvarez the bariatric surgeon. If you are at all dehydrated, it may take a couple of days to really replenish your fluid levels. To me, it makes all the diff in how I handle food and post prandial nausea. Also, if you're having issues with protein, use meat lube (low fat, low cal, low carb gravies, soupy stewpy things like your chili and for god's sake, don't overcook eggs! LOL.) Also soft cooked white flaky mild fish is usually pretty easy for most people, as can be soft scrambled eggs with yogurt or lite sour cream mixed in to make them creamy. Beans and cheese, or canned beans mashed with some yogurt or cheese go down easy. If it were me, I'd stay away from the obvious slider culprits. You're losing well now, but that habit is hard to shake and your weight loss WILL level off and you could potentially stall out. Sorry you are struggling. -
How many calories are you eating?
Beadingnurse replied to crosswind's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I try for 800 calories a day but rarely make it. Usually end up betwen 600 - 750. My doc prefers 3 meals a day with no Snacks but I can't seem to do that. I can't eat enough at any one time to get in enough calories so I am having 5 or 6 small mini-meals a day and that seems to work for me. It is hard to get in enough Water though as eating this frequently means I am often in the "hour" wait after eating solids when I can't drink water. My main sources of Protein are, chicken/turkey deli slices, string cheese, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, Atkins Protein shakes, refried Beans, tuna, egg, sardines. -
Hello all - new poster. 11 days post op for my gastric sleeve, spent the first seven days post op on liquids only and have been on a pre-select soft food diet for the past 5 days (oh what fun). Coming up with more and more odd combinations of refried bean, greek yogurt, egg white, sugar free pudding, and cottage cheese. Sad what passes for an "omelet" at the moment. Something odd I noted almost immediately upon arriving home was my sense of smell, particularly with regard to how foods smell, seem particularly altered. Have a household that has always enjoyed cooking and have done so several times for my lady as a thank you for how well she has been nursing me and the aroma of the foods is just nowhere near as full as pre op. Is this common? At least one other full bypass patient at my 1 week check in mentioned a similar change. Is it permanent or something that changes over time? Thanks all - and best of luck to all those on or getting ready for the same journey.
