Preop terrible gas pain, protein shakes??
Frustr8 replied to Cindyjo's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I like the new one Muscle Milk has now, probably not an option for you. Blueberry with a Greek Yogurt base, might be a tad more calories than Premier Protein. Shame about your whey sensativity, the new Peaches and Cream really rocks.😝👍 -
I take the bariatric advantage capsule ones (opened and sprinkled on yogurt for the first 2 weeks---yuk) and such pain...it is the closest I have came to throwing up in this whole process. I now take one at a time, wait 30 minutes and drink at least 8 ounces of water and then take the second one. Much better. P.S. Looks like we are ticker twins

Does anyone regret getting the sleeve?
janet ruth replied to Kadidy's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had no issues with the liquid/purée diets because I love yogurt, applesauce and soups. I transitioned to “hard” food easily by cutting my meats into small bits before sitting down to eat. I’ve lost 50 lbs in 6 months & have 20 to go. I bought small bowls and divided plates in the Walmart baby department so I don’t over serve myself. Eating ice chips & sipping water or iced tea all day has helped with hydration. -
I had my post op today too and everything looked good. I got contact dermatitis from the dermabond that is on its way to healing. Still super itchy but it’s not as red as the past couple of days. I’m beginning to think my practice is so incredibly different from the others. We don’t have a purée stage. First 10 days is liquid+ meaning liquids/shakes/yogurt/pudding etc. after 10 days it goes to soft (fork mashable foods) which includes cooked veggies, meats (ex chicken salad and tuna salad, or any moist meat). I’m now cleared to slowly add in these softer foods before cleared for regular food in 3 weeks. I ate tuna tonight with 0 issues :) Fluid avg: 100oz Protein avg: 85g How is everyone else fairing?

Let’s talk about sliming
Orchids&Dragons replied to moondoggie1983's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine lasts for as long as 2 hours at a time! One of the reasons that I'm still mostly living on yogurt. And that's with walking and trying to breathe. But I agree - DO NOT ADD LIQUID! -
Shoot overdid it and angered my sleeve.
sillykitty replied to MedicVSG's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think it's just that your sleeve wasn't ready for it yet. My program has full liquids right out of the hospital, which includes things like sf pudding and yogurt. So it's not like you did anything crazy, like eat fried chicken, your sleeve just wasn't ready for it yet. -
Do you get tired of foods very quickly?
TakingABreak replied to jrsone's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Well I do a lot of meal prep and try and eat leftovers often. - I grill chicken (usually thighs or legs) on the grill every Sunday and take them to work throughout the week. I take the skin off to lighten the calorie/fat content. I also make these Wonton "Cupcakes" w/ different recipes. I like the chicken cordon bleu and the lasagna ones. They are so simple to take to work the next day. 30 secs in the microwave, and done. -I make this Greek "No Pasta" Salad with chic peas, cherry tomatoes, edamame, red onion, olives, cucumber, feta cheese, and Greek dressing (homemade). I eat about a half cup a day as my afternoon snack. -Cottage cheese -Hard boiled eggs -Tuna packets, deli style - Brussel sprouts (I eat 3 big ones for my mid morning snack) - Fat free cheese slices -Greek yogurt -Veggie sticks with greek yogurt & ranch seasoning -Hummus with wheat crackers or veggie sticks -Roasted Chic Peas. I make all kinds of flavors. My favorite are the garlic and the honey chipotle. -
If I'm hungry yes, I'll try to go for protein rich snacks like nuts or yogurt or low calorie foods like plain popcorn or popsicles.

2 weeks post op from RNY. What are you eating
YeahOkay31 replied to starbuckslas's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I only had two weeks of liquid. Now I have 4 weeks of 2 liquid meals and one 3 oz. soft protein. I have tried grilled chicken breast & rotisserie chicken, but even though the meat was super moist and I chewed it into paste it still felt like rocks going down. Eggs are not agreeing with me, but fish like cod and tilapia are going down okay. I can get about 2 oz down. Mostly though I stick to Greek yogurt. It is the easiest on my digestive system. -
I started regular foods a little over a week ago. I'll find something I really like, for example chicken, cheese, lean lunch meat and turkey burgers. I'll eat a few, they settle well and then I'm absolutely sick of them. I hate that it happens because I feel like I'm wasting food but my enjoyment will only last a few meals. The only thing I can eat on a consistent basis is beef jerky, Greek Yogurt and some soups so far.

I have snacks, usually at night. I can't hit my protein goals without them (just not able to eat enough at meals). My snacks tend to be protein oriented. Some examples: Deli turkey and pepperoni wraps, light string cheese, light cottage cheese, greek yogurt, sometimes I repeat a meal, beef jerky, almonds. If I do carbs I try to limit it to one thing and eat it after I eat something dense like deli turkey so it doesn't "slide" through. For me carb snacks might be: PBJ (only if I ran a few miles because its high calorie), 1 oz of chips / pretzels / crackers, cheese and crackers, hummus and carrots, oatmeal (only on work out days).

Stuck in a hotel for 5 nights, what would you bring for meals?
Bryn910 replied to YandereAngel's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Egg salad, chicken salad, seafood salad, tuna cheese, deli meat, peoperoni protein drinks, nuts if you’re allowed, protein bars yogurt, cottage cheese, hummus/bean dip, peanut butter Maybe make pre-made chicken/cheese wraps to store in fridge Fruit If you’re allowed also check with the hotel, some have microwaves that you can rent for about $10/day and they’ll place in your room. Or you could buy a mini microwave, use it, & return it once you’re done. Seems extreme but if you really need to, do it -
Protein and Carbs...Help!
DesertGirl replied to DesertGirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks! Ok, no oatmeal. Got it. I'll add the protein powder to my pudding. I don't know why I keep forgetting the powder. I had tuna today. I usually don't eat tuna, but I really enjoyed it. I added cottage cheese and Greek yogurt instead of mayo. Kids approved, too. -
Stuck in a hotel for 5 nights, what would you bring for meals?
Losebig replied to YandereAngel's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Here are some of the items I've had in similar situations: Cottage cheese (you can get small containers), greek yogurt, string cheese, beef jerky, cold meats like ground turkey, deli meat, chicken, etc, soups (put can in sink with hot water before opening it to heat it a little). Not a ton of variety, but maybe eough to get through. For extra storage you could bring a cooler an keep it full of Ice from the ice Machine. -
Bathroom problems since December sleeve
GotProlactinoma replied to Akunasleeve's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Don’t forget the gut bugs and feeding them. Make sure you are taking probiotics (some commercial ones are worthless so vary which ones you take) and eating some resistant starch to feed them. They are an important part of digestion and doctors forget to mention them. One soil based probiotic that saved me once when I had chronic d, is called Prescript Assist. Amazon has it. I take it daily since surgery too, just to make sure, because I can’t eat as much. If you can’t take pills, there are kids probiotics in powder form. And you can eat raw fermented veggies (find at Whole Foods etc). Of course there is yogurt, always good to eat high protein plain full fat Greek style. Resistant starch is found in lots of foods, but since we can’t eat much, best to choose one of the root veggies that has a high population. Potatoes both white and sweet. Highest resistant starch is after they’ve been cooked and cooled. Like potato salad. Or bake a bunch of potatoes and keep them in the fridge, add a part of one to each meal (feel free to warm it up for your meal, that doesn’t ale away the resistant starch content to be reheated). If you are too close out from surgery, there is another way. Use a powdered resistant starch like potato starch or inulin (NOT INSULIN, inulin comes from artichokes and tastes a bit sweet). Put a teaspoon in your smoothie or protein drink. Work up to a tablespoon. Our gut bacteria population takes so much care of us - from our immune system to our moods to our digestion. It is a shame not to take care of them even if we’ve had WLS. They are still in there and we do need to keep the good ones happy. If you can even get 1 tablespoon of cheap and tasteless potato starch into one of your protein drinks today, tomorrow you will feel much better on the potty. -
1wk Post Op- First Complication
Nikki_Nik87 replied to Kay07's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was really itchy after surgery too. And my skin was really dry and peeling when it finally came off. As for the diet upgrade, just take it slow. Your body will tell you what you can handle. I was nervous at first too. Start off with simple things like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, thinned refried beans, and thinned oatmeal. -
Medical and phase 2 food options
Nikki_Nik87 replied to BIGRO361's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I never thought about getting a medical bracelet, but good idea. The first things I tried was greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and refried beans. Then introduced canned tuna and chicken, ground meats and thin sliced deli meat. I can also have soft cooked veggies. Recipes I have been using recently is riccotta bake, turkey taco bowl, hamburger casserole (all without any type of bread, rice or noodles). Pinterest is my go-to site for bariatric meal ideas. -

They have a great low carb yogurt called Carb Master. I love it. Try tuna or chicken salad for dinner instead of oatmeal. -
Let's Play Another Round of "How Much Am I Eating Now?"
xoxococojay replied to FluffyChix's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Not quite a year and a half out. I was sleeved and i only do 3 meals per day ( maybe one snack if i've been working out like crazy) and each meal is only 3-4 oz. only because snacking is what made me fat in the first place. Very very low carb, still. Typical breakfast is kind of boring just because i never used to eat breakfast ever. So i stick to only a few options and rotate, plus i'm lazy. - breakfast parfait (0% fat greek yogurt, added 1 scoop of gnc vanilla whey, top with berries of my choice. - green smoothie -whey protein with caramel flavored coffee - protein shake -crustless quiche - eggs and avocados or eggs and 1 piece of bacon Lunches and dinners i meal prep and because i cook everything that's where i tend to get more creative. I'll make whatever as long as it's low carb. Pinterest has tons of great ideas. I meal prep ahead of time to save me time. Snacks: (if ever) - parmesean crips - protein chips -sugar free jello pudding - smoked almonds or sweet thai chili and dried cranberries -jerky or duke's smoked shorty sasuages - deli meat and cheese - spicy pork rinds - halo top ice cream - greek yogurt - hummus - guacamole -cranberry almond chicken salad (costco) Even though i can eyeball stuff- i still measure and pre portion. I don't ever want to get in the habit of eating slider foods or over eating when im not actually hungry. -
Protein and Carbs...Help!
MIZ60 replied to DesertGirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I use baked chicken breast pureed with a little bone broth and greek yogurt and that is 9 grams per ounce. I eat 3-4 ounces throughout the day. Cottage cheese is 3 grams protein per ounce and I eat 2 ounces per day. 1 PP shake with my AM coffee is 30 g protein. That is a total of 63-72 grams of protein. 2 grams carb for the cottage cheese, less than 1 total for the chicken, 3 for the shake. I also eat some garlic mashed cauliflower about 3 ounces per day (I carb) I do add some Land of Lakes light butter to the cauliflower and about 1/2 teaspoon Duke's mayo per serving of the chicken. I honestly am not worried about a moderate amount of fat and will not be using any fat free stuff....just nasty. My program does not allow any eggs, oatmeal, pudding, milk or soup at this stage. Liquid stuff just runs through the pouch and does not lead to satiety.....so they say. My surgeon is against eggs and I do not know why. I can have fruit but I see no reason since I am satisfied. My next things to try are tuna and black beans. count -

Protein and Carbs...Help!
jess9395 replied to DesertGirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
There’s debate on whether your carbs must be that low, what does your doctors plan say? I kept mine that low during my loss phase. Simple tweak is to get rid of the oatmeal. I didn’t add that back in till I was at goal. Check the carbs in your shakes, some are higher than others. I chose one with no carbs. Also check your soup, some have higher carbs than others. Does your Greek yogurt have added sugar? There’s another spot you could lower the carbs. -
So I love to cook and my husband and I throw a get together every month with some friends. I love how supportive my husband is of my surgery. I always cook up some amazing food every time however as a twist I decided to use Pinterest to find healthy options. I want also had my friends cook up some healthy protein food to bring as their contributing food to the potluck. It became a game with everyone trying to make the most delicious healthy recipe. My best friend made a gluten free pasta made of chick peas and my other friend made lettuce wrap turkey greek yogurt tacos. Aside from the fried cream cheese wontons (for my pregnant sister) upon her pleading I made all of the attached healthy dishes. I couldn't eat them as I am on puree foods still, however I also didn't have any cravings and just enjoyed watching everyone enjoy themselves. Everyone is now talking and being competitive to find out what healthy dish they will contribute next month. I just find this a great way to include friends and family and their support is seriously one of the best feelings. Hopefully in the future I can help them want to include a healthy lifestyle by inspiring them to come up with new healthy delicious recipes. 1- A picture of all the food my husband and I made. 2- Dill pickle, ham, cheese. 3- Cherry, pineapple, ham. 4- Bread free. turkey bacon, turkey beef, cheeseburger bites. 5- cucumber, ham, cheese.

I am now on day 7 of the liquid diet and the lbs. are definitely coming off. I am losing about a lb. a day right now. It is exciting to see such rapid results from this crazy diet. My body seems to be adjusting to the fact that I can only eat these 5 different items (3 Specific protein drinks, 1 light yogurt, 4c. romaine/2Tbsp. light dressing, 2 1/2 c. SF Jellos, and 2 c. unsalted broth). I am doing the 3 shakes as meals and randomly doing the rest throughout the day to spice things up. It is getting better, but next Tuesday still feels like it is a long way away right now!
