Help! Sleever for 6 days. Carbs?
Sosewsue61 replied to kandywolf's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Try some whole milk yogurt. Drink a little juice just to bring it up or regular gatorade , chase it with lots of protein - pureed cottage cheese. Or call your bariatric clinic. The most important thing is to get the blood sugar to stay up to a normal level - if it goes much lower you could have a seizure and worse. -
Full Fat Mayo, cottage cheese, and yogurt
Nancy MBGC replied to Nancy MBGC's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I actually started this thread because I cannot stand the taste of low fat dairy ( except for some yogurts). My advice to you if you can handle the low fat versions of cheese, mayo, sour cream, and the like, is to go with them while you're trying to lose your weight. I, myself, just can't stand them. I am also on full liquids. Good heavens. Five more weeks of this?!?! Someone has GOT to be kidding me. A little low fat cheese is starting to look like Nirvana at this point.🤣 -
I'm feeling good! I can do the stairs to and from my apartment pretty comfortably now. I'm living off of water, crystal light, protein shakes (which I'm getting really sick of), and greek yogurt. Tonight, I'm having cream of tomato soup! My mothing in law made it for me and she said she took special care blending it to make sure there are no chunks.

Let's Play Another Round of "How I Get My Protein" post WLS
Lukeadelle replied to FluffyChix's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
How do you get your Dr to work with you to find the right thyroid meds for you? My GP handles my thyroid and he’s lousy. I told him I need to go to a specialist imo but he isn’t referring me. I don’t have a functioning thyroid. I took the radio active pill to kill it years ago. I’m 10 months po and have not lost anything for 3 mo [emoji24]. My gp lowered my levothyroxine from 150 mcg to 125 mcg 3 mo ago. My #’s haven’t been right since I started taking thyroid meds. I started adding genpro to my daily diet to boost my protein hoping the extra protein would restart the losing. Not helping. AM - genpro in 2-3 oz premier protein chocolate. 30 G protein am snack- 2 oz pistachios 12 G protein Lunch - 3 oz tuna 25 G protein Dinner- 2 oz filet 15 G protein 1/2 c low-fat cottage cheese 13 G protein Pm snack- yogurt 12 G protein 107 G protein total -
I am in the same boat as you unfortunately everything that is liquid gags me and won't go down. At first I had no problem drinking water and now it seems difficult to get that down. I get scared because I have trouble getting anywhere near my protein or fluids however I'm told that that is probably the reason I am feeling bad. Today I am aiming to sip water all day and try to get down some of the okios Greek protein yogurt. I guess we just have to keep trying different foods until we find a winner but I really hoped it wouldn't be this difficult for me (( I see so many people who say they feel awesome after and I feel so much worse.

I'm in my 4th week post-op, I'm already walking about 5 km per day, I'm eating all real foods and getting my 70 + g of protein in a day, without protein supplements. The foods I'm eating are eggs, beans, tuna, milk, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, chicken, beef, frozen spinach (heated), frozen berries (heated), mashed potatoes (white and sweet), squash of all kinds, peeled apples (can't wait to have an apple with the peel!), I seem to be able to eat just about anything. Before surgery, I got in really good shape. I did 60 minutes of cardio per day (walking around 7 - 10 km per day, stationary bike 16 km per day, and 30 minutes of strength training 6 days a week (alternating upper body and lower body). I lost 75 lbs before surgery. Since surgery, I've only lost 5 lbs, but my clothes are getting looser all the time. Anyway, other than not being able to eat more than 1/2 cup of food at a time, or having to sip my water rather than guzzling it, I don't feel any different than before surgery. I feel great!

Help!!!! Help me please!!!
Littleboo9 replied to Toriann94's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi I had surgery on Oct 9 and everyday feel nauseous. Two things have helped curve the nausea: hot tea and chicken broth. Water also helps. This week I started my blended diet and have tried plain yogurt and tofu. I loved protein shakes before surgery, but cannot stomach them at the moment. So while my diet is bland I feel less nausea over the course of the day. Best of luck. -

FluffyChix replied to FluffyChix's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
@Berry78 At this point I just laugh at how different our surgeon's plans are. LOL. It's almost as if they say, "I need to put my own spin on this thing, so I'm gonna do xyz and blah blah blah abracadabra! this week, then go to this in week 6..." Just seems so arbitrary! I just got my post-op plan on my last visit with the RD. Here's mine for grins and giggles: Week 2: Full Liquids (All clear liquids + protein drinks, tomato or V-8, sf fudgesicles, skim or lactaid milks, strained cream soups made with skim milk, plain yogurt (I'm guessing the non-Greek variety), sf pudding, cream of wheat thinned with skim milk or protein drink. Week 3: Soft Solids (All things from clear liquids and full liquids, soft scrambled eggs, low fat cottage cheese, plain Greek yogurt, flaked fish: tuna, salmon, white fish, canned chicken, starches (yeah right), fruit without membranes/skin or canned in natural juice, fats (limit to 6g/serving), limit sugar to no more than 4g/serving. No liquid calories. Ideally 3 meals + 1 snack. Try to get as much protein from food rather than supplements. Week 4: Start slowly introducing Regular Food, 1 new food at a time: 2 milk servings, 3 meat servings (1-2oz/s), 4 fruit/veggie servings (1/4-1/2c/s cooked), 2-3 fat servings (1tsp/s) (Sounds an awful lot like a WW plan...right?) -

Week 1: clear liquids, almost no protein except a little broth. Water, g2, herbal tea, apple juice, sugar free jello. Week 2: Milk, protein kefir, broth (and clears from week 1). Week 3: all of the above plus yogurt and cottage cheese. Week 4: purees.. all of the above plus blended tuna salad and refried beans Week 5: I don't remember as well, but still relied HEAVILY on cottage cheese and yogurt and beans and introduced eggs (sulfur, yum! Sounds like I'm joking but I'm not. I really liked that..I must have needed it). Weeks 6-8: I really started eating. Meats without blending, cashews, smoothies, eggs, cooked veggies, a little fruit. Chili, potato soup. Week 9 to present: cottage cheese, yogurt, milk, eggs, beans, nuts, meat, fish, fruit, veggies, potatoes (white and sweet). Coconut water and V8. Rarely cheese. Grains and sweets are reserved for special occasions. Everything I buy is single-ingredient. So fish is just fish, not breaded. (I occasionally splurge and get it pre-marinaded). I hate mayo now, but like chik fil a sauce. I put that into tuna salad. Salsa is great with beans and eggs and potatoes. My goal is 70g protein, and have been able to reach it most of the time since week 2. No protein shakes or bars. I used to count carbs, but stopped. I'm pretty much always under 100g. The most important things to measure are added oil/fat, and nuts/seeds. You could eat 2 whole potatoes for the calories in an extra handful of almonds. (I know that sounds like I load up on potatoes, but I don't. I eat 3.5oz about once or twice a week). -
I just got the okay to move onto puréed earlier this week. One scrambled egg with fat free mexican cheese felt like the best thing I’d ever eaten [emoji1373] I’ve also tried light laughing cow cheese, PB2, sabra hummus and fat free refried beans. It’s been a revelation from all the yogurt and sugar free pudding. I’ve also heard skim milk ricotta cheese is a good choice!

My NUT has us eating 5 mini-meals daily - every 3 - 4 hours. At 7 weeks out I ate: Breakfast - scrambled egg with salsa or my daily protein shake Meal 2 - 2 oz chicken or shrimp, salsa, hummus, guacamole or cocktail sauce to make the protein moist and easier to eat. Grapes without skin if there was room Meal 3 - yogurt or a mozzarella cheese stick Meal 4 - 2 oz protein (pork, chicken, crab, etc) with a sauce (Low sugar Tomato sauce, salsa, hummus,etc) Meal 5 - cheese or mozzarella cheese stick or parmesan cheese crisps or nuts

Ok, I'll play! I'm gonna pretend that I'm post WLS by 3 weeks. At 3 weeks I'm at the soft solids. My daily protein goal is 74g for my height. My portion size is 2oz Protein/meal; 1oz Protein/snack. I'm to have 3 meals and 1-2 Snacks daily, but since I'm still so newly after surgery it's really 5-6 mini meals of the same size. Meal size by volume is about 1/4-1/2cup. (Because I'm so close to surgery, I'm sure I will be relying very heavily still on protein supplements and will also probably need 3 meals + 3 snacks per day...) B: 1/4c 2% Daisy cottage cheese + 2tbs Walden Farm strawberry syrup (7g P) MS: 1/4c 0% Fat HEB Greek yogurt + 2tbsp Walden Farm blueberry syrup (6g P) L: 1/4c salmon salad (1oz canned, drained, skinned pink salmon; 1/2 hb lg egg; 1 tbsp 2% Daisy cottage cheese; 1 tsp country dijon; 1 tbsp Walden Farm Amazin Chipotle Mayo; TJ EBBS) (8g P) AS: Same as lunch (8g P) D: 2oz blackened tilapia + 1 tbsp avocado + 1 tbsp mild salsa (9g P) BS: 1/2c PBC protein pudding (homemade) (11g P) Daily Total Before Supplementing with Protein Drinks: 401cals; 49g Protein; 12g F; 20g Carbs; 3g Fiber; 17g Net Carbs (*Note: I will need about 9fl oz of Premier Protein Vanilla to hit my protein goal for the day. I'll probably just use those in my morning decaff coffee as a coffee creamer. (Daily Total After Supplementing with the Protein Drinks: 532 cals; 74g Protein; 14g Fat; 24g Carbs; 5g Fiber; 19g Net Carbs) -
I started off with cottage cheese and when that worked just fine I tried some yogurt. Both were OK. I also had no problems with eating oatflakes and milk (I eat them cold) but that was last night, and this morning I feel like they’re still there... so maybe not try that again so fast, we’ll see.

Protein powder. Costco has decent ones and reasonable prices. Sugar free popsicles. Yogurt, depending on your plan. Cream soup or something that can be blended.

How to get solid protein down after 3 months post op
BonsW posted a topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
Duodenal Switch, 3 Months Post Op. Never hungry. Need to get in 90 grams of protein. Can't seem to do it. After a few bits, feel nauseous and don't want to eat anymore. Tried different protein shakes, also hard to get down. My best friends are the so called "slippery" foods, yogurt, yogurt, yogurt and cottage cheese. Help! How can I get solid protein down? -
Are there any preop smokers out there
Sherry Rice replied to fabnfit's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Surgery Date 10/28/2017 So I woke up in the middle of the night and had a massive craving for a cigarette. I didn't smoke though. Thankfully, I had thrown them all away! Yesterday (Day 1 PreOp Diet AND Day 1 quit smoking) was ROUGH! The hunger pains were the worst! So bad that I hardly noticed how much I wanted to smoke. I think this liquid diet is going to be super helpful to quit smoking. I drank more fluid every time the hunger pains were bad. I do think it's weird that I haven't gone into ketosis yet. I have the Keytone Test Strips and it was negative as of a few minutes ago. I had 2 Premiere Protein Shakes, At least 90 oz. of sugar free drinks, 8 oz. beef broth, 1 sugar free jello, 1 Oikos Triple Zero vanilla yogurt, 2 sugar free chocolate puddings. At around 8:00pm I was so hungry and I was shaking like a leaf! I ate one bite of shredded chicken breast (1-2 tsp?). That took away the shakes after about 20 minutes and I was able to fall asleep around 10:00pm. I woke up this morning and did my Tespo vitamin shot and drank a Premiere Protein shake. Here's hoping today is easier than yesterday!!!! Im about 1/4 way through a 32 oz. Powerade Zero. -
At seven weeks, I was eating about 700 calories with 70-90 grams of protein and at least 64 ounces of water a day. So Breakfast - Premier caramel protein shake with 1/2 cup of coffee and sugar free chocolate syrup and ice - (30 g protein, 130 cal.) Lunch - 3 ounces albacore tuna with 1 tablespoon mayo. Some lettuce leaves to eat the tuna in. (13 g protein 140 cal.) Snack - Oikos Triple Zero Yogurt - flavor of your choice - 15 g protein 120 calories Dinner - 4 ounces chicken breast grilled (28 g/140 cal.) some salad. Snack - mozzarella cheese stick - 1 60 calories 7g. So that's 93 grams of protein and under 700 calories. You could even throw in a sugar free pudding or jello for dessert. Use my fitness pal or some other app to track - it helps. Concentrate on protein.

Post Op Foods - Returning to Work
Diana_in_Philly replied to BusyMom945's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It depends on your plan post-op. Each plan is different. Mine was full liquids (yogurts, soups, shakes) the two weeks, then purees, then soft foods, then full meals all at 2 week intervals. So by 8 weeks out I was eating "normal" food. I have two teen daughters and a husband and I am a planner too. Generally before shopping each week I plan the protein for each night so I'm not scrambling with the what to cook or make with this issue when I get home. I just kept up my normal routine for them. During my first 2 weeks, I ate lots of greek yogurt and soup. Sometimes the eggface ricotta bake. I fed my family the usual stuff we would eat. In purees, if I made them meatloaf, I'd just mash mine up more - same with chili. By the third phase - it was lots of chicken and fish. For work, I don't have access to a fridge, so I pretty much pack the same thing on my office days. (I work from home a few days a week.) Chicken salad, romaine lettuce, yogurt and a cheese snack. Sometimes an apple (but I'm 1+ year out.) I didn't freeze stuff before surgery and I'm glad I didn't - my taste buds were off for a few weeks after surgery. -

Help!!!! Help me please!!!
Sullie06 replied to Toriann94's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Protein shakes did not sit well with me so I drank a protein water. There are quite a few different ones on the market now. I drank the Atkins ones but I know GNC makes some good ones as well. As for the fear it's normal but you have to fight through it. I was scared to start eating again as well. Would it hurt, would I cause a leak, would I throw up (I never threw up during my early post op so that was a fear for me), what if I can't eat normally again. I'm now 9.5 months post op and love my new normal eating habits. I can eat pretty much anything but in smaller amounts but it took trial and error to get there. Start trying all kinds of soft foods. Mashed Potatoes, Refried Beans, Ricotta, Yogurt, Cottage Cheese, Cream Soups, Broths and once you find something that works branch out to food of similar make up and consistency. -

Have you tried just a regular cup of milk? Fruit tends to be really acidic. Milk is a buffer and can be soothing. If milk works, then stay in the dairy isle... yogurt, cottage cheese, soft cheeses.. work your way up that ladder. If dairy doesn't work, then try beans. Soy milk, thin refried beans, split pea soup, lentil soup, tofu.. The meat ladder: homemade broth, gently poached white fish, tuna with mayo, chicken thigh. Just keep on trying.. start with more liquidy foods and work your way up. Fruit doesn't have protein, and if you can't stand protein shakes then you need to find food with protein that you can tolerate. -
I’m 6 weeks out: breakfast: 2 eggs, tablespoon feta, 1/4 c fresh spinach cooked into omelette snack: Greek yogurt snack: latte lunch: 2oz chicken salad snack: string cheese dinner: chili or other protein dense soup snack: applesauce sometimes cottage cheese instead of yogurt or sub breakfast for a protein shake (rarely). But i’ve been eating very similar to this since 1 week out. Usually get about 800-900 cal.
