Premier chocolate is about the only pre-made one I can stand. I also make them at home with almond milk, yogurt, peanut powder, sugar free vanilla syrup and unflavored Protein powder. Those are pretty tasty, as far as Protein shakes go...

I love chocolate chip cookie dough Quest bars. I was disappointed in the Cookies and cream but it was ok. I recently got a blueberry one in yogurt. I'm trying it tomorrow. My husband got the strawberries and cream. Man sometimes I just need something other than chocolate and vanilla.

Mushies/pureed Items While Dining Out?
honk replied to ValAnn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yogurt, egg whites (some people have trouble with eggs), mashed potato (no gravy), mashed cauliflower, squash, chili (Wendy's), bbq chicken (KFC, no bun). I would bring ready to drink protein shakes so that you have SOMETHING in the event you are desperate (premier brand from Costco is very good, Muscle Milk Light). Bring some plastic spoons as you can usually find greek yogurt anywhere (including 7/11 or Cumberland Farms) but they may not have spoons. -

Protein shakes
Chris_tina83 replied to Chris_tina83's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes I'll be starting my pre-op diet in a couple of weeks, so I'm trying to gather as much information as I can, so I thank you for your replies. I love yogurt, I've never had the Greek yogurt, but I'm sure with the shake it will be a lot better. Thank you! -
Same as what I eat now, but in much smaller quantities of course Dense protein: Eggs Tuna (Any fish, really) Shrimp (Any shellfish, really) Lean red meats (occasionally) Chicken Turkey SOME dairy (IE REAL cheese, REAL butter, but in limited quantities) ONLY get your carbs from veggies, and limit starchy veggies (asparagus, cauliflower, potatoes, etc...) stick to mostly green veggies and salads. Stay away from iceberg lettuce and try to do romaine and spinach for salads as much as possible. NO SUGAR (Or as little as you can possibly get away with) Snacks: Cheese, almonds, Jerky, low fat, low sugar greek yogurt Drink TONS of water! I GUARANTEE you will lose what you need to lose and then some if you religiously stick to this and track calories. Good Luck!!

My surgery is not until January but my doctor insists on an all liquid diet of shakes for 3 weeks prior to surgery. I was told by the nurse that if I was absolutely starving that I could have greek yogurt but it was not to be everyday. I'm more worried about the 3 week diet than about the surgery!

This is NOT the "magic pill" I hoped for! I need help with my bad food choices ASAP
nmr replied to nmr's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thank you all for the support and great suggestions. I will call my doctor today to find a support group. I also will start to track my food. I am down 27 pounds in 5 weeks but when I ate those foods like the slice of pizza or ate the Nutella, I fear old habits. I have never learned moderation so it reminds me of the past when I would diet and then go off plan. I eat well during the week. Usually, I'll have a GNC Total Lean shake for Breakfast, a yogurt or sliced deli chicken for lunch, and turkey chili or rotisserie chicken for dinner. But, I had a small ice cream cone and I feel like a failure because I have always been all or nothing. I need to seek help ASAP to adjust. Thanks to you all. -
Yes, I want it now! Its so weird, some days I have good restriction, other days or weeks - I feel like I can eat an entire cow. Friday night we go out to dinner, I did pretty good, I had humus, and steak and a little cabbage. The steak I could only eat about 2 oz , it was really good, but I got full. Saturday - did pretty good - no exercise, but besides that, did okay Sunday - blew it big time - ate and ate and ate, it seemed I couldn't get enougth food. grrrrrr. One week from today is my fill appointment. I'm really tired of fills, this will be my 10TH! I'm sick of them, I'm ready to hit the sweet spot and lose this freaken weight. I'm tired of yo-yoing - I've yo-yod all my life, I'm ready to be at goal! Today my menu: Bfast yogurt, granola, coffee w/cream snack string cheese lunch string cheese, shaved turkey dinner salad chicken with multi-grain wrap Exercise today: 10:00 am - 15 min elliptical 3:00 pm - 15 min elliptical 8:30 - upper body workout after workout - 4 oz protein shake wt - didn't weigh today -

So, I was just curious to know if anyone has had any experiences with leakage and any side affects you noticed before hand. Im on mushy foods at the moment. But yogurts and creamy soups arent doing it for me. So I've been eating eggs only and protein shakes. But lately my stomache feels bloated and lots of heartburn. I hope its not a sign of any leakage happening.
-
And don't worry. liquids and other squishy stuff will go down too easy but when you really get to solids you will focus on the Protein to get it in. I still have a Protein shake every morning (surgery 1/19). Just don't graze. I still follow a high protein low carb diet with a treat from time to time. Typical day is protein shake, cheese stick mid morning, Atkins or high protein lunch, yogurt or other afternoon snack and pretty much whatever the family protein item is with a spot of veggie for dinner. Good luck. No worries.
-
if thats the case, its a shame because its all I'm liking at the moment. no, but that does make sense. thank you!!! speaking of leaks showing up, I dont recall the symptoms... do you remember? as of late, yogurts and soups i used to like are sour to me as well. thats why i opted for just eggs because they were working just fine. until yesterday.

Oh bless your heart! I hope everything starts to look up for you soon! I have been using GENEPRO Protein. Some folks were talking about it here, and stated that is was really odorless and tasteless. I decided to try it because the horrible sweet tastes of all the shakes/protein I had been using was about to make me just stop protein altogether. That was the best choice I had every made! I sent the info to my NUT and surgeon since it's a fairly new product and both of them approved it. It truly is completely tasteless. I mix it in everything; decaf coffee, V8, diluted juice, yogurt. It has been a life-saver for me. You can order if from Amazon, which is were I got it or from the company website which is Musclegen Research. Best of luck to you! Carol

Omg!!!!! Had My 1St Week Checkup And I'm Down 26Lbs!!!!!!
SashaWLS posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can't believe this, but I'm down 26 pounds???? In only 3 weeks? I lost 12 during the pre-op liquids, and now 14lbs in the 8 days since surgery? I'm shocked, and THRILLED!!!! I can't believe it. I didn't know that was even possible. And, at 8-days post-op, I finally feel really really good, like I'm over the worst of the recovery... AND I'm officially cleared to start mushies! Though I'm going to take that suuuuuper slow. Start with yogurt and fish and see how I do... Anyway, I cannot tell you guys how absolutely dumbfounded and happy I am. I could cry. -
I have been hungry alot more than I expected. I also have been able yo consume alot more than others whenever I eat. For example, I am able to eat a whole banana; a whole container of yogurt; a whole packet of instant oatmeal. Then an hour later I am hungry. My Dr. is not concerned; said some people reacr this way. Moved me to final stage as I can tolerate! Has anyone experienced this? I was told not to worry but I’ve been thinking I went through all of this and it’s not going to work??? Anxious to hear from anyone!

I am 3 1/2 weeks post op. I have never been one to nap and usually have good energy. However, for the last week and a half (since I went on pureed foods) I am struggling. Yesterday I slept so much I missed a meal and some liquids. I am bone tired. I am out of work until the beginning of January so I have time on my hands. This morning I slept until 1030. Usually I'm up by 730. I am taking all my Vitamins. I admit Protein has been a bit of a struggle so I have gone back to one Protein shake a day with added greek yogurt to up the protein grams. I am pretty close to 60 grams a day as recommended. I have been Water jogging with weights every day except today when I went in to lie down for about a half and hour and wound up sleeping 3 and a half hours. This is so not me. Anyone else experience this?

First of all, I always come and look at your posts, and you guys are amazing and very supporting! I just decided on on signing up lol... So my surgery is set for April 1st, an April fools band lol.. I started my pre-op diet on Monday, and it's ALREADY starting to get to me. My doctor wants me to do 3 Protein shakes a day, with one main meal of 4-6oz of chicken or very lean meat. 2cups of starches, 2cups veggies, endless salad with fat free dressing, but not drenched in the salad. I thinks its 2tsps not sure :sneaky:..... TodayI went for pre-admission testing and my scedule was totally MESSED UP, I was so mad. So I messed up my diet but let me tell u what i did. 11am-dannon light & fit yogurt lemon ciffon (yummers) 2:30pm I had a handful of carrots, diet green tea snapple which i always drank and love!!! 4:00-5oz chicken,lettuce,light mayo (a tsp,) honey dijon musturd (tsp,) and a half a whole wheat wrap. That's it so far, but i don't know if because i added the mayo and musturd i added to much fat......helllpppp

Oh goodness. I thought I was the only one that was hungry. I have been terrified that I am screwing something up, I had surgery on 3/29 and I had to move to at least something substantial once a day. I couldn't do Clear liquids. I was needing to have that all day long. Like 6 or 7 times a day and never was satisfied. I had to move right away to food once a day. Usually something like pinto Beans, butter beans. I even had some Pasta....shame I know. I only eat about 1/2 cup and then I start feeling full, so I quit. I can however eat the 6oz cup of yogurt. I thought something was wrong with me. I am so happy to know someone else out there is feeling my pain. Whew! Ronda

Impending Ins. Cancellation. Aggressive Fill. Too Tight? "just Wait It Out"? I'm Frustrated, And Need To Vent!
jen043454 replied to jen043454's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Went to the PA and had a slight unfill today. They put 1 CC in on Friday, and took .6 CC out today. I am able to drink fluids with no problem, and the surgeon suggested I get some frozen yogurt (even though it's a slider!) to get some calories in ASAP. I was more than willing to eat some froyo, and thrilled that I am still restricted, but not closed off! Thanks for the support ladies! -
Really stupid question..

Starting soft foods a little earlier
Teachamy replied to bklyn girl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also could have yogurt and cottage cheese the first week. Could barely get down more than a tablespoon, but I can imagine how you must feel! -
I got my band a week ago tomorrow and I am on the clear liquids diet for one week. I am constantly hungary and I am drinking constantly also. I feel like there is nothing there after I have eaten the recomended amount. My wife had the surgery done at the same time as me. She seems to be full after a yogurt or a few bites of cottage cheese. Am I doing something wrong? Or do other people have this problem after being banded. I know I have cravings still but I am able to tell the difference between hungar and craving. If anyone has advice for me let me know what you think.
