Vegetarians(or Vegans!)
KCgirl061 replied to despacit0w0's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm not a vegetarian but I do have some meatless ideas for you. I enjoy a lot of yogurt and cottage cheese. I find Oikos Triple Zero gives you the best high protein/high fiber/low sugar option. My favorite way to prepare cottage cheese is with toasted walnuts and a drizzle of honey. For meals I have a fiesta black bean quinoa salad that my husband and I just love. (I'll post a link for the recipe) I also like to make wraps with hummus and black beans, spinach leaves and red pepper slices. Egg salad would also be a good idea especially if you are still early in pureed/soft stages. So would lentil soup. https://www.crunchycreamysweet.com/roasted-sweet-potato-black-bean-quinoa-salad-recipe/ https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/lemony-lentil-soup/ -
Daily Nutritional Percentage Goals
Francess replied to msgabrii's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I am only one week out, but my info says never more than 10g fat or 10g sugar at one time. At 2 weeks I can have smooth food (like yogurt). At 3 week I can add soft veggies and canned fruit(limited). At 8 weeks I can add fresh veggies and nuts. Not sure where meat and cheese go in this schedule? I have post op meeting next week with lots more questions on nutrition. -
Curious what everyone had that was solid after surgery for food? I'm currently having shakes, yogurt, cottage cheese..but can't stop thinking about solid food! Wondering if you start bland or what others had? Sleeved 9/12/16

Can someone please explain..
flower faery replied to flower faery's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Thank you so much everybody for your encouragement and advice. It has really helped. I'm staying away from the scale for a week. My follow up appointment at the doctor's office is next Tuesday and I'll let them weigh me then. I might even get my 1st fill that day. I've added in a lot more Proteins, I'm not eating as many carbs and I've increased the calorie intake a little bit...not much. The pudding and yogurt are not sugar free. Unfortunately I have really bad reactions to artificial sweeteners so I can't have them. But I haven't even had pudding in a week and when I do eat it it's only a couple of times a week at most. Both the pudding and yogurt are low fat though. The mayo I eat is lite mayo (not fat free). I have had some butter on my potatoes but it's a really small amount..barely there. The cheese is full fat but I have such a tiny amount it doesn't add up to much. I get a bit of exercise through my job, so I'm not just sitting all day. I'll be joining the gym again in November when I have enough money and I know that will really help a lot. I guess I just expected to always see a loss at least for the first few months when I got on the scale and seeing not only that I hadn't lost weight but gained some floored me. My body has freaked out I guess. lol. I do have a slow metabolism unfortunately. I know the exercise will speed it up a bit though, so in November I'm hoping to see more pounds coming off. -
4 days out... Frustrated
apricotsmommy replied to lwilliams65's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You asked about yogurt and pudding....those are okay when the doc says full liquids. With my doc that was a week. He also said to wait a couple of days on gulls to try them. Don't want to make you sad but many folks mention fairy intolerance for some period of time after surgery. Other have no issues at all. Also, just a thought but maybe try half a scoop of the unjury. A half scoop in grape Gatorade didn't suck too bad for me. I won't say best drink ever either though..... -
Staying under total calories but right amount of protein
r6malbear posted a topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I am at 5 months out and I notice that I do not stay under the recommended 800 calories per day put keeping my Protein between 60 -80 grams. What do others eat throughout the day to stay where you need to be. I usually eat yogurt and a fruit for breakfast, tuna fish and salad for lunch, a snack in the afternoon of a Protein Bar and dinner is meat (fish, chicken, pork) and a veggie and a protein snack at night. I have been stalled for about 4 -5 weeks now and need help. And yes I do exercise 5 days a week walking for about 40 minutes at a fast pace. -
I add sugar free strawberry jam or half a pouch of sugar free hot cocoa to my Greek yogurt. Yummy Sent from my PC36100 using RNYTalk

Yogurt With 2X Protein
LosingItForMe2011 replied to mary2008's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My nutritionist said up to 14 grams of sugar or less and only 5-6 grams of fat per serving allowed. Sugar in yogurt and milk is different than table sugar as well. -
Is a 1/2 cup of food keeping you full?
theloosinggame replied to Joaquin's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was banded 2/5. I have experienced the same hunger since a week after banding. I was told that initally the swelling is keeping you feeling full but after that you will feel empty often until the first fill. I was cautioned against eating too much or the wrong things because it will cause slippage or the sutures to break (my surgeon sutures the stomach around the band to make a tunnel the band sits in). They told me to add a cup of milked down oatmeal a day. I have further modified it to my taste and have not had a problem. Once daily I will eat a 6 oz can of tuna with FF mayo and a little pickle juice until it is down to a very liquid consitency. This had helped my hunger and it has been satisfying to me for some odd reason. I also drink a protein drink when hungry and it helps to keep the hunger pangs down. I have found that I can not live off of 6oz tomato soup, 6 oz of yogurt and 6 oz of pudding a day along with the clear liquids. -
Eating in the evening...
Holly Dolly replied to papajsk's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
A lot of times when I feel like eating in the evening I will have a hot cup of tea. Another thing I had a lot of when I was first starting out was a CarbMaster yogurt from Ralphs/Krogers grocery. I like them because they are only 60 calories and 8 grams of protein. I also like sugarfree puddings. -
12 days out and no restrictions???
Georgia replied to Mommy4's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Quick question - are we EVER supposed to snack between meals - like on a few pieces of melon or string cheese? I haven't been hungry much at all until today and I seemed hungrier than before. So I had a piece of string cheese about 2 hours before my dinner and then a few pieces of fruit a couple hours after the meal. I am using 12gr yogurt as a supplement because I cannot get the protein shakes down without nausea (lactose intolerant). -
I travel alot with my job and have no issues. I take my Protein drinks and use the fridge in the rooms. I also grab a yogurt and ceral in the morning from the Breakfast area of the hotels I stay at. As for eating when I am on the rode I order things like Soup or chili. Sometimes I order grilled chicken breast with veggies. I have less issues on the rode than when I am home. Maybe because I am more carful or its because I am alone and no one to talk to during dinner so I pay better attention to what i am eating. Kat

I’m not sure what you mean by this question but I will offer my experience. If I eat a meal with dense protein, chicken, salmon, pork, etc, I stay full for hours and have a hard time drinking water even after waiting the 60 minutes. Other foods like yogurt and vegetables seem to leave a bit quicker and I’m not hungry but don’t have that full feeling quite the same either.

Protein shake, can't stand it!
PlannerGirl replied to HeresKimmy's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I've been loving my Unjury protein. I found the best price at Amazon.com I like the chocolate mixed with skim milk or plain yogurt. I also am adding the unflavored to most everything. Try it, it's good. -
How Much And What Were You Eating At 2 Months Post Vsg?
kayte819 replied to Sleeved&Hopeful's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel compelled to add that I struggle with getting all my protein in still & am unable & unwilling to give up my coffee!! Most days.I.drink one shake & eat one protein bar but today I just haven't been hungry at all so I've forced everything I can in....I'm a puker unfortunately so I can't push too much or I am sick & miserable! I do drink water all day. I cannot stomach eggs & peanut butter sticks in my throat & I throw up which really sucks!!! I eat a ton of fish & seafood. Little to no chicken, beef, etc because I can't seem to get it down. I looooove seared ahi & eat it almost every other day, if not more often. It's my favorite! Smokes salmon, cream cheese & capers on whole wheat flat bread is my go-to lunch. Yum! I also eat Greek yogurt w/ berries a lot. Ok, done!! -
Webchickadee, How are you measuring your calories? I use a scale for accuracy for most foods. If you are eyeballing or packing in a measuring cup, your calorie count may be off. Also, if you eat out a lot and are using the restaurant guide, you may be getting more calories than you think. For me, I find hunger increases when I eat any kind of non-nutrient dense foods. For example, last night I ate dinner and then had a muffin later. Before the muffin, I wasn't really hungry, but after I ate the one muffin, I really wanted another and my tummy was rumbling for it like a dump truck. The only thing that got me out of a stall was reducing calories. I know that others have found success in increasing calories, but that has never worked for me. I recommend dropping your calories to 1200 per day. To avoid hunger, make them really nutrient-dense. Low fat meats, fat free greek yogurt and milk, whole grains, and fresh or frozen vegetables and fruits. Lynda

Satiety foods for post goal hunger?
Supersweetums replied to Fiddleman's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
I buy almonds that are already sliced for me (you can usually buy slivered or sliced almonds in the baking aisle or bulk food store). The slivered ones tend to brown quickly, so I prefer the sliced. It does not slide for me, I find it very filling ( I also mix with yogurt as well). It keeps me full usually all morning! -
What are some good mushy foods?
Jack replied to Aliciafl2014's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
tuna whizzed up with a dollup of nearly anything, including FF yogurt/chopped peppers, a few black olives.....there's a 'whirrled' of pureed out there that fits the 'mushie' phase very well. I got into the 'million ways to do squash/yams/' path too. My all time favorite squash varieties were Hubbard (the Queen IMHO) and the little Delicata. Jillioiins of soups/putees/fried patties/infused with various onions/garlic in a wide range of prep styles. Your local library will have a jillion reference books for ideas on puree/mushies. -
August 26 Sleevers
BarnGirlWK replied to Sandi in FL's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well, we are all on very different pre- and post-surgery diets. My surgery was Aug 24 (six days ago) and up until now I've been only on Clear Liquids, no protein: broth, Jello, popsicles, Water, ice. Today will be the first day that I introduce Protein back in. So, the next week will be full liquids only, but does include yogurt, pudding, cottage cheese, vegetable juice, soup, and Protein drinks. My tummy gurgles with new foods introduced. I'll need to take it slow. I'm feeling great, no pain, no gas, no nausea. -
What was for breakfast this morning?
Clementine Sky replied to etc. etc. etc.'s topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Strawberry and rhubarb Icelandic yogurt (low carb, high protein, yum) and cold brew coffee with whole milk. -
Keep up the good work, remember the more weight you lose the lower your surgery risk, its good motivation. I'm on day 5 and its been hard. I'm allowed a greek yogurt, low fat cheese stick, veggies/salad, sf popsicles, jello, and broth so those things are helping me to stay on track. "Better than bouillon" broth is very good and satisfies hunger really well. If you are going to cheat, just keep it healthy and focus on the goal. I'm down 5lbs in 5 days so its working!

Hi All, I definitely feel this restriction since my fill yesterday and I am very excited hoping it will really start some serious weight loss, a bit apprehensive that I may be filled too tight, challenged at learning to eat all over again, and grateful to all of you. I have my upper GI scheduled for Tuesday of next week. Hey, I just invented this GREAT milkshake--especially for those who may not be able to "eat" Breakfast. Atkins has come out with low carb yogurt (12 grams of Protein and 80 calories). I spooned one in a glass, added milk and one packet of Sweet and Low, and it sure is yummy and not too many calories. It's not as much protein as the Protein drinks, but a lot cheaper! It's going down nicely too, so I am not too restricted I guess. I do feel like burping all the time I drink?? Thanks Donali, Alex, and others.

Anyone in the South Shore MA area need a buddy?
Crystal Leigh replied to Crystal Leigh's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Lol thanks! This definitely put a smile on my face even though a lot of what you just said kind of scares the crap out of me! I LOVE myself some dunkies and or marylous! I recently started doing the sugar free shots not swirls and skim milk or sugar free creamer at home.. (They have me starting to get ready for what life's going to be like after surgery) everything I a huge change. I'm doing pretty good so far. Can I express how proud I am of myself for a moment? 1. I drank Mountain Dew faithfully for 12 years I'm talking 24 packs in a day! I've been Mountain Dew clean for almost 4-5 months now! I drink only Water and one coffee a day! Forced myself! I can't imagine it any other way now! 2. I have been a smoker since I was 6 years old (discussing I know! I have older nephews so if I smokes with them they knew I couldn't snitch on them!) I couldn't inhale until I was 8 but either way.. I'm 30 now.. I haven't had a cigarette in a week now!!! I don't even really care! That's the shocking part! I think I'm to concerned with my eating to think about smoking lol 3. I used to lay in bed and feel sorry for myself not move at all. Hence being almost 400lbs at one point I've been moving more even little things I have stairs that lead up to the bathroom... I so ten push-ups off the stairs before I can pee lmao and I have three kids all under 5 so.. Enough said there. I do jump and jacks with my 4 year old ( or what I consider to be jump and jacks ) I have cheated on this diet a little bit but when I've cheated it's been two extra pieces of celery or an extra scoop of low fat Greek yogurt.. Not an extra bowl of Pasta with extra sauce and bacon and chicken like used to. I'm proud of me Thank you for listening to my rant and thanks for all the advice!! I'm going crazy over here cuz I don't even know if they are going to give me a date yet! I'm still waiting! All I know is they put me on this diet and she said it's what I will be on for the rest of my life after surgery basically (minus the time I'm on the liquid diet) I just want a date now! I need to know!! I think I'm more nervous not knowing if I will get a date... I need this! I need to live and stick around for my kids! -
@@steph1514 Go back to basics. Pack a little cooler to bring to work. For a snack - you could pack a greek yogurt, cheese sticks, some almonds, a protein shake, a protein bar, etc. For your "lunch" - pack some grilled chicken, veggies, chicken salad, scrambled eggs with cheese, crustless quiche muffins. Is Subway in your Walmart? Are they open at that hour - you could get a salad with meat/protein. You can pack anything - it just takes time to prepare and make sure you have good options. I would also recommend therapy to deal with the old eating habits.
