I'd just stick with what does sit well in your stomach for now. I've been officially cleared to try any food, still focusing on protein first of course, but it's been easiest to just stick with soft foods for the most part. Lots of tuna, chili and yogurt. Good luck, it isn't easy that's for sure!

Are puréed strawberries ok on the puréed phase ?
FluffyChix replied to PEGGO's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Try blueberries instead or peaches. I used the Premier Protein Peaches and Cream, Fairlife FF Milk, Ice and frozen peaches. Plus you can add a spoon or two of yogurt or kefir for pro/pre-biotics and extra creaminess. -
Awesome! I am 17 days out and have finally started getting some energy back because I'm now able to eat yogurt, thinned refried beans, hummus, and tuna.

I Am So Brand New--First Post, 3 Days Out
twoboysandagirl replied to alexeleni's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I began making my protein with milk once I hit goal. But i did eat cottage cheese, cheese, cream cheese, yogurt, pudding at the mushie stage. I used mayo to mix my tuna and chicken salad. I used to have an allergy to milk so I expected to have problems post op but I do not and now I drink a protein shake a day and I use milk everytime. I am glad that things have gone well for you. It sounds like you know all the right things to do...good luck on your journey...cant wait to read your posts inthe future. -
How to lose weight pre-op?
AJ Tylo replied to BigSue's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Not hard but wont be fun I am doing this for my x wife as we speak she is getting it done end of May Since i have a nurta girl who handles me here is her plan Gallons of Broth, she has a band on he wrist and has to move 5 miles a day, Lucky she hits that easy at work, She eats small portion and low calorie food 6 times a day. For example today she will be eating chunked chicken, veggies two shakes and grapes. But she can sip and drink broth all day. She hates it and is miserable but she realizes the rewards seeing me. Going to prep her food today for the next three days here is it for dinner and lunch - Breakfast for her is a yogurt and shake. I will make two of each and she can mix and match them up - Goal is to keep her under 900 calories a day. Not easy because she cheats at work. and If tired blows the day with the Starbucks drive thru suicide coffee creations. 1. 7 oz salmon cauliflower rice and grapes 2. 7 oz skirt steak Avocado and asparagus and fruit cup 3. Chicken sausage one link, Brown fried rice with egg and tons of veggies I am professional trained in the kitchen - Use a App to track your calories and be careful with the sauces, seasonings and oils. You can have a healthy piece of fish and ruin the healthy side with a glaze or sauce! -
Any August 31st Sleevers?
PamInWA replied to dorothy510's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went out yesterday and got a couple of the protein water type drinks but I'm really not wild about them - tried Isopure and Cocotein but they are too sickly sweet. I ordered the sample pack of Syntrax nectar from mybariatricpantry.com but I'm getting my protein from premier, Greek yogurt, and unjury chicken soup for now. -
Any August 31st Sleevers?
QueenLaamiri replied to dorothy510's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I used the little cups they gave me, until I reached stage 4 -reg diet. The protein is the most important. But for food I liked mushy things like can salad. Turkey salads, puréed in the cups and that was great. Cheese!!!! Fish baked, tuna out of the can with celery salt, Greek yogurts, all have High protein, low low sugars and low carbs. -
I Am So Brand New--First Post, 3 Days Out
Charlotte replied to alexeleni's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I have not been able to do milk for years now, but found that the Almond milk and Coconut milk work great in shakes and for drinking. I really like the unsweetened Almond milk on my Cereal and in coffee and coco. I slept a lot the first 2 days, but reading on here it is part of the process your body needs to heal. You have been though the mill and your body is responding the only way it knows how (SLEEP). I also found that if I ate yogurt it helped with the gas, I still get it from time to time depending on what I eat. Congrats on your new stomach (surgery) Hope this helps some. -
Drink water, go exercise, eat only something like yogurt or cottage cheese. Remember eating too close to bedtime may encourage nighttime reflux. You don't want this this early on/or ever. Don't stay up late - go to bed instead.

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

5 months post-op, lost 11 lbs last two months! HELP
maggie409 replied to cockapoomom's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
First, I would say don't beat yourself up. You really do have it in you to do this.... We all do! Second, stop drinking alcohol on the weekends. Especially 4-5 drinks. That is a lot of empty calories and heavy guilt. I completely understand the stressful job. I started carrying a cooler with me that has P3 Protein Snacks, Greek yogurt, Water and Protein shakes. If I get stuck or have forgotten to eat I have something healthy to fall back on. No matter the job, everyone is allowed breaks and meals. Is there a gym nearby you can join? Can you walk some steps or walk around the parking lot? Definitely log your food. I am absolutely overwhelmed with learning to eat a balanced diet, but like I said above, we can do this! We have it in us. The only other suggestion I can make is start over with a week of Clear liquids. Life is all about do-overs. I read somewhere once that we can't let failure define us, let getting back up and starting again and again and again and not giving up define us. -
Plz help, need menu ides for post-op
MommyTo4QTs replied to MommyTo4QTs's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you all for your wonderful suggestions! And please, keep them coming. A couple more questions for you all...some of the suggestions I noticed are great for Protein, like Beans and the fruit would be great to add to the yogurt or Protein shakes, however I know that they have quite a high carb content. Would the high protein tend to cancel out the carbs a bit, like in the Atkins diet? How many carbs do you all eat in one day? I really do not like the protein shakes, I think they taste awful, I have tried both the Atkins and the one (can't remember the name now) for Body for Life in the silver box/cans. But I do like the idea of the fat free milk and powder..does that taste decent? Any others you may have tried that taste pretty good? I noticed some mentioned eggs, do you all eat many eggs, or maybe the egg whites? Also how would I use the ricotta cheese that you mentioned, do you just eat it by itself? I did go to the store tonight and bought the plain greek yogurt, my sister suggested adding cinnamon and some splenda, I did notice a few people suggested that (thank you Marilyn). I also bought non fat cottage cheese, Weight Watchers string cheese, tuna, instead of low fat mayo, I found the sandwich spread that looks kind of like a dressing with pickles, etc in it (found in with the mayo), I thought it would taste better and has 2.5 fat, 3 carbs and 35 calories per TB. I thought I would put it in with the tuna and make the one TB go a long way, what do you think? I also bought a low calorie butter by Land o Lakes that I could use to pan fry the fish. What do you all think of Peanut Butter? Its a little higher in carbs as well. Realistically how much protein do you all think you get and do you keep track of how many carbs, fat, protein and calories you take in every day? Or do you just try to be careful and do the best you can? I am so sorry for the looonngg posts with many questions, but I appreciate all your help immensely, I need mentors as I go through this process! Thank you so much for all your help! Your all life savers, really! April -
I could'nt have anything until the day after, all Doc's seem to be different. They gave me small cups of Ensure and applesauce. Then the next day I started back on Protien shakes from GNC, Lean Shake is good and apple sauce, greek yogurt and lots of water and diet snapple. Hang in there, the next few days will be rough but worth it.

I never feel full...
RuthFour replied to DarthVixen's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 3 months post op and I also forget to eat. I'm going to be seeing the nutritionist for the first time after surgery in two weeks and now is definitely the time. Not only do I forget to eat (and drink enough water) but it seems to be so much work to get in the Protein drinks which I still supplement with because there's no way I can get enough protein otherwise. I still have a tendency to eat too fast which can cause nausea but it could be lack of Water as well. It's a work in progress for sure. I start the day with a Protein Drink and often that's more than I can handle for Breakfast. Sometimes I'll have eggs (2) for lunch or crackers and cheese or yogurt and fruit with granola/cereal. Another protein drink and then supper. Not sure whether I'm getting enough calories or perhaps the wrong calories. Hopefully, the nutritionist can give me some ideas. Ruth -
I bought organic produce today and added some new things to my protein shake. I put the following in the blender 1 scoop of Market Pantry's chocolate whey protein shake 3 heaping tablespoons of fatfree vanilla yogurt 1/3 of a raw beet sliced 1/2 of a raw cucumber sliced 2 large strawberries 1 handful of blueberries ice It is very good. I deem it a success!

Everyone is different. My husband was banded a week after me and neither of us have any fluid in our bands yet (I go tomorrow). The Dr. said he was going to be tighter than me because generally men are and because he had more fat on his stomach making the band tighter. I have been able to eat as much as I want and he is still not able to eat a whole 6 oz. yogurt in one sitting. He annoys me! JK LOL Good luck.
-
Yes... And no. In this shake I do not taste it at all. You have to put it in things that will mask the flavor. I have put too much in yogurt and it was not good. In this shake, I really do not taste any of it.

6weeks post how much should my calorie intake be for?

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20141006195341-7146982-protein-supplements-after-weight-loss-surgery-yes-or-no "Be Wary of Protein supplements in the Long-Term Protein shakes and powders can be convenient, but they’re not your best bet for long-term weight loss. As you progress from pureed foods to semi-solid and then solid foods, your surgeon will probably recommend that you stop drinking shakes and focus instead on solid sources of protein. They’re more substantial and satisfying than liquid shakes. They take longer to eat than drinking shakes. They’re easier to fit into a real-life eating plan. You won’t be “drinking your calories.” They have more natural nutrients than processed shakes and powders. Most weight loss surgery patients can get enough protein just by choosing one or two high-protein foods for each meal. You’ll get 60 to 80 grams with the following foods. Breakfast: 2 scrambled egg whites; light English muffin and some fruit. Lunch: cup fat-free cottage cheese and a green salad with 3 ounces of canned light tuna. Dinner: 3 ounces of chicken breast and steamed spinach. Snack 1: 1 low-fat cheese stick. Snack 2: 1 6-ounce container of plain low-fat yogurt and 1 cup carrot sticks." Just be careful with the primary source of protein/meals being shakes. -
I eat much of the same thing most days of the week. Morning snack is a serving of roasted pumpkin seeds, afternoon is Dannon Light-n-Fit yogurt.

Going back to work tomorrow & NERVOUS!
Sue Magoo replied to anewlife10's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi: If it's on your doctor's list of recommended foods, take along some low fat, or no fat yogurt. Goes down pretty easy and doesn't get much more convenient. Good luck. You may be tired for a few days, but it'll be good to return to your routine. Sue
