Am on day 9 as well. Was on water, diluted juice and clear broth till today. Today I was cleared for Yogurt and milk, low fat. In 5 more days I could have puddings. My doc told me no protein shakes till 3 weeks post op. Every doctor has a system..

I would say it's one or the other. It gets expensive to buy all those bars/drinks for the whole family with all the junk food on top of it. My husband doesn't touch my protein bars/drinks except for my greek yogurts so I get some for him and some for me.

Looking for other San Diegains...
SanDiegoPhotog replied to soontobehottie's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi Lizzy, I am doing great! I saw Dr. Bhoyrul yesterday. I was down 14 pounds since my surgery date and he was very pleased with my progress. I am down a total of 31 pounds from my high weight. I feel great. I have a ton of energy. Dr. Bhoyrul advanced me from full liquids to soft foods yesterday, so I had a 1/4 cup of mashed potatoes. they were the best tasting thing I've eaten in WEEKS! However, I did get nauseated afterwards, so I'm not eating them again for like a week. I did try one of those yogurt whips this morning for Breakfast and it went down easy with no nausea. I'm just so glad I don't have 2 more weeks of liquids only like I thought!!!! I'm sending you a PM. -
Yoplait's yogurt is not Greek yogurt. If you read the ingredients, they add corn starch and other ingredients to thicken it. Real Greek yogurt has most of the whey drained out-- thats what make it thick. Check your labels when you shop. Greek yogurt should pretty much just read milk and live and active yogurt cultures. Of course fruit too if it's added. I make yogurt at home. It's super easy and then I know what's in it!!!

AGGHH!! How much "mushy" could you eat?
dcox20 replied to Clementine's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I didn't eat the amount i "could" just because i "could". my doc said to stick to roughly 1/4 to 1/2 cup. I'd eat the following 1/4 cup egg beaters with a small amount of cheese small mashed potatoes and gravy from KFC Pintos N Cheese - taco bell Light N fit yogurt - 4oz size natural applesauce pack - 4oz Soups of all kinds and of course popsicles and water! of course I was running at about 5-600 calories/day which I was told was a bit low... I'm on solids now and going at about 800-1000/day maybe I was overzealous but it did pay off in a huge return of a 40lb loss. -
1 Month Post-op Today & Feeling Discouraged!!!
HeavyDutyQ-tee posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello BandLand!!! First I wanna say I hope everyone is doing great and I am glad we have this forum because everyone has the opportunity to inspire someone else throughout there journey. I am getting a lil discouraged though... Today makes 1month post-op for me and I am only down 20lbs... For the 2wks the scale is just not moving. I am staying around 1000-1400 calories but on most days I am at 1200cals. I am starting to feel very hungry again. I will be getting my first fill this Friday the 18th. Currently i have no Fluid in my 14cc band. I just wanna know how has everyone's journey been? Any regrets? Anyone doing any vigorous exercise right away? Also for those out there who understand carbs... I need help!!! On a daily basis, I am trying to stay at 1200cals, 60-80g Protein, & under 100g carbs... I just dont understand how people say they stay under 30g of carbs when there are carbs in just about everything we eat including high protein foods also. If I eat yogurt for Breakfast, thats 20g carbs just from my a.m. snack... Can someone please explain carbs to me? I have been avoiding Pasta & rice and minimal bread but I do have a bagel thin or english muffin once or twice a week. Any help or advice would be great!!! Thanks Everyone... Below are some additional questions. Any help is appreciated!!! Thanks... HDC 1. (Women only question) What do you do for cravings and appetite when it's that time of the month? Does your weight fluctuate during this time as well? 2. Because there are carbs in almost everything we eat, how do you determine what is a good amount of carbs per day? My fitnesspal says 249g is a go number. 3. What kind of exercise do you all do and how much and for how long? 4. Any ideas on things I can do as a truck-driver that works nights? I will be going back to work in a couple weeks and snacking is how I use to make it on the road. I need ideas or even some healthy snack choices to get me through my nights at work driving down that lonely highway. 5. Are sunflower seeds bad? 6. So far I have been eating 1200 calories of less per day, along with 80g of protein and trying to keep my carbs under 100g. Is this ok??? I'm really unsure… Just still so confused and need some words of wisdom on certain things. Bandsters please share any advise or tips to help me through my journey. I appreciate all comments and I accept all the supportand encouragement I can get. Thanks a lot lbt… -
Surgery tomorrow! Still wondering if I could do this myself!
grateful-1 replied to grateful-1's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you all! I have been excited and felt like it will be great all along, It's just been about the last week and a half I've been feeling this way. I so much appreciate all of you! I have been cleaning my house and doing laundry and putting expiration dates on yogurt so my kids know which ones they can eat and which ones they have to leave for my second week tee hee:) But I am feeling somewhat better now. Thinking of all the positives that made me want to do this in the first place, and you guys really help, so thank you! I am a new RN and I have been thinking about working 12 hour shifts and being better able to serve others after this surgery. Getting excited again -
I love green smoothies. I drink about 16oz 4-5 a week. I drink half before and after my workout. Mine usually consists of items like spinach, kale, pineapple, peach, celery, banana, apple, cucumber, ginger, beet powder, hemp hearts, ground up flax seed, lime or lemon juice, spirulina, vital protein powder, protein Greek yogurt, ice, fairlife protein milk, and a tasteless protein powder. I don’t put all of that in, but it’s basically whatever fruit and veggies I have on hand. I do mostly veggies and add a few pieces of fruit to sweeten it up. Lime or lemon cuts the “grass” taste for me. If I want peanut butter, I use PB fit. Have you tried it? It’s good! Btw, I used fresh raspberries the other day and it was delicious. However, there were so many little seeds, I had to strain the shake.

I went back to work 2 weeks after surgery and brought a tiny Rubbermaid container with 1/4 c cottage cheese in it. A lemon greek yogurt, etc...The yogurt took me a couple of hours to finish. Just a small spoonful at a time.

I'm one month post op and right now for my lunch/snack I take things like boiled eggs (sometimes I throw away the yolk), egg salad, chicken salad, string cheese, cheese cubes, yogurt, pepperoni slices, and quest protein bars. I have access to a microwave/fridge, but right now I use a lunch bag and containers that both have ice packs. This might be something you can look at getting since you don't always have access to the fridge. And as you can see, I don't take anything that needs microwaving. Hope this gives you some ideas

I always have Greek yogurt on hand. I like Oikos triple zero the best. Yoplait just came out with a yogurt that is made using ultra filtered milk that has a similar nutritional profile that I like too. For meals I like a dense protein, Aidell makes a great chicken sausage. I eat lots of salmon and chicken dishes I make in my slow cooker.

Struggling with fatigue and lethargy
SoCalNana replied to AbbeySteel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Your fatigue is very normal. You had major surgery! Be kind to yourself and you’ll start feeling stronger. You can have yogurt. Greek yogurt (watch the sugar content) is your best friend right now because of its protein. Good luck! -
Struggling with fatigue and lethargy
Patrick powers replied to AbbeySteel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
How did you get to add yogurt? They say I can't have anything but liquids? Sent from my SM-G935V using BariatricPal mobile app -
I was so glad to see this post because foods like yogurt and cottage cheese that I used to love taste off to me. I was wondering if this was normal. I'm still in the soft food phase so am still eating a lot of soup. I'm so curious to know why my tastebuds have turned against me.

Hey there, fellow Massachusetts person! Here are a few options that might work for you for protein: If you like soups such as creamy tomato, butternut bisque, etc., add a scoop or two (10-20g protein) of unflavored protein powder such as Isopure or Syntrax to the soup. Also, if you make a canned soup like cream of chicken, make it with Fairlife skim milk for even more protein. 1/2 a cup cream of chicken with 1 scoop of protein would give you about 17g protein. If you are at a stage where you can have apples, make a great protein dip by taking 1 cup Greek yogurt and adding one serving chocolate protein powder and 1 scoop powdered peanut butter and eat 1/2 cup with 1/2 an apple. This gives you around 25g protein depending what brands you are using and tastes delicious. A great source of plant-based protein is edamame, which they sell already shelled and lightly salted, ready to eat, in the produce section of Hannaford (and probably other stores, I would assume). Also, four of the cracker-sized slices of Cabot cheddar have 8g protein, and if you pair it with Triscuit thins, that's another 3g for a nice 10g snack (when you can have crackers).

I am 9 days out from VGS and am on a liquid diet until day 21. I can have Clear liquids and Protein shakes. No yogurt. I am so tired of drinking. I am not ready for meat, but a yogurt or watered down oatmeal would be great. I am only getting 500-600 calories a day and my body has slowed the weight loss because it is in starvation mode. Difficult when you are consuming so little and the scale barely moves. Physically the surgery was much easier than I anticipated, but it is a mental roller coaster

Hopefully she meant yogurt without bits in it. Since it caused you discomfort, you could dilute it with milk and strain it.

I used lemon for my yogurt , chocolate for my coffee and tea

These are the meals I've packed: Breakfast: chicken cauliflower fried rice Lunch: Ham and turkey rolls with light cream cheese and zesty pickle spears Snack 1: Chobani greek yogurt and pink lady apple Snack 2: guacamole 100 calorie pack and beanitos black bean chips. Dinner: Syntrax Chocolate truffle shake with collagen, fairlife fat free milk and 1/4 frozen riced cauliflower -
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.

Nervous about upcoming RNY surgery!
butterfly2433@gmail.com replied to Janifer's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Janifer! Just wanted to give you an update...I had my surgery on 10/29. I had quite a bit of pain for the first 24 hours or so until they finally was able to manage it with the correct pain meds. They said that since I have chronic back pain and I am on daily pain meds already, that the normal pain meds that they give someone coming out of surgery was not working for me. They adjusted everything though and got the pain tolerable. So after that, I only had to stay 2 nights and once I could tolerate full liquids they let me go home. I went through my first week with full liquids ok. I did get very emotional for a few days starting on the Saturday after my surgery. That was a little rough, but it seemed to last about 3 days and then I was ok. Now I'm just in the middle of my 2nd week and I am able to eat puréed food. That was exciting! I've never really cared too much for refried beans, but let me tell ya, those beans with some melted reduced fat cheese and just a little scoop of Greek yogurt tasted amazing that first day!! Everyday things are getting better and better and I'm so glad that I made the decision that I made! I wouldn't change it for nothing in the world! So how are you doing? Hope everything is well with you! -

I Invented A New Low-Carb, High Protein Food Today
amarieh replied to DesertRat's topic in Food and Nutrition
Greek yogurt is a main part of my diet because it has double the protein. You can add a tiny bit of jam to it and it will taste delicious. It goes down very smoothly and is filling....so I still eat it even though I am on "full foods".
