Fat free, low far, light or regular?
LipstickLady replied to FabFemale's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm a full fat kinda girl. Real cheese, real butter, real salad dressing, real mayo, real sour cream. I do drink skim milk because I like it, and I buy light Greek yogurt because the kids prefer it. Full fat tastes better and keeps me full longer. Much more satisfying. -
Fat free, low far, light or regular?
mistycal replied to FabFemale's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've been doing the light fairlife milk, light mayo, 100 cal Greek yogurts, reg cottage cheese and cheeses, and substituting plain Greek yogurt for sour cream. Just trying to cut out where I can without sacrificing taste! -
I am 9 weeks post op. I gave up protein shakes after 4 weeks when I was allowed to, I'm not a huge milk drinker. I get all of my protein with food. Typically I have 2 eggs for breakfast with turkey sausage. If I don't have that then it's 3/4 of non-fat greek yogurt with 1/4 cup of nuts and 1/4 of berries. Tuna with salad for lunch and some sort of protein with a vegetable for dinner. I'll have 1/4-1/2 cup of fruit after lunch. I'm not a big snacker but I'm fortunate that I can 4 ounces of protein typically so I don't need to snack. I usually come in at 650-750 a day.

1 week post op! Woot woot!/ anyone from the kc area?
stephanie.ahring0505 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So here I am, I week post op... Well, now 1 week 1 day. I feel great!! I'm so bored at home and I miss all the lovely ladies and doctors I work with. But, I also know my body needed this time to recover and get used to my new eating habits. eggs aren't tasting so great to me right now.. I'll try them again in a couple weeks. SF Jello is still too sweet for me, so I've been doing yogurt, pudding, and Popsicles. I found these delicious popsicles that are made from real fruit and have no added sugar. They are tasty. So far, including pre-op diet for two weeks I'm down 31 lbs!! THIRTY-ONE lbs!!! It is such a great feeling! My goal is to get down 120. I'm 1/6+ of the way there!! I can't believe it! I told my boyfriend of 8 years that once I get to my goal weight I want to get married and have more babies since I will know how to eat at that time. Our 6 year old has already been asking for a baby brother or sister. Ha. I just tell him I'm trying to lose weight before that. Luckily he has plenty of aunts and uncles that have or are having babies in the semi near future. I can't wait to add things into my diet like mashed potatoes and bananas and Peanut Butter. Even tortilla shells. I'm interested how my stomach will handle those. Have any of you had problems with very many foods on the mushy/puréed foods? Sorry for my rambling, but I can't sleep right now. I took a late nap with my niece after doing some light housework. Any help or guidance is much appreciated! -
How can I possibly eat/drink all I'm supposed to?
Wheetsin replied to Wheetsin's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
His plan is pretty quick - Water, Jello, popsicles days 1 - 4, then add in Protein drinks, thinned-down cream Soups, and yogurt days 4 - 6. Weeks 2 & 3 are mushies. I'm not too sure about beyond then, I only studied 2 weeks out. This water thing is killing me. There's already a 30ish pound difference in the scale, and I truly beliee at least 80% of that is dehydration. I'm accustomed to 120+ oz water a day, and I've been lucky to get about 30. I've started getting yuck mouth. -
justwaitin2b banded in October and a bit scared
renewedhope replied to justwaitin2b's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
This is the post op diet that my surgeon suggests Post - Operative Lap-Band Diet Week 1 Week one is the "clear liquid" stage. Below you will find the liquids that are appropriate for this week. Jello Popcicles Crystal Light Koolaid Water Tea Coffee Chicken Broth Beef Broth Lipton Diet Green Tea Campbell's Soup At Hand Fruit Juices ** Purchase chewable gas tablets, such as, Gas-X or Phazyme. This is used to ease the post-operative gas. Week 2 This is known as the "mushy"stage. Oatmeal Cream of Wheat Grits Pudding Ice Cream Yogurt Scrambled Eggs Pimento Cheese Cottage Cheese Tuna with Mayo Mashed Potatoes (smooth, no chunks) Baked Potatoe Sweet Potatoe Applesauce Creamed Soups Week 3 Any canned fruit in water Any canned veggies (must be soft, not crunchy) Any home grown veggies (must be soft, not crunchy) Bananas Canned Chicked with Mayo Crackers and Toast (*be careful--other types of bread can get stuck in the stoma) Bacon and Sausage Grilled Cheese Sandwich Any type of Cereal Any fish or shellfish Pasta Rice Week 4 Salad (no raw carrot or celery) Hamburger Patty Hard Cheese (cut up small and chew well) Chicken Breast Pork Chops Lean cuts of beef (tenderloin medium cooked, cut up small, chew well!) Apples (no skin) Grapes Melons Looks so much better to me than this liquid diet -

What R U Eating 11 Day Postop?
pattivalvo replied to pattivalvo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've had hello too. I'm so sick of protein shakes! Bring on the softys is right! I tolerated a yogurt & a couple bites of cottage cheese well and it made me feel sooooo much better. I've been light headed dizzy and felt soooo calorie deprived. Just curious if any other 11 dayers are hvn soft food??? -
it's this what acid stomach feels like post gastric sleeve?
amylu replied to pottergirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had this very same thing last week. I thought I was going nuts! It felt like constant hunger pains! I am on 40 mg of omeprazole a day. I took a zantac, and I took tums, and none of it seemed to help. When I called my surgeon, his PA told me to go ahead and add refried beans, and yogurt to my diet. (I was one week post-op) That did the trick. I think it all started after my first BM since surgery. All of the sudden it was like everything woke up, you know? -
When will food go down easier?
PGee replied to callchrissy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Our recommended diets vary quite a bit......at 9 days out I was still on full liquids (shakes, yogurt)......at 14 days out I was allowed to have pureed foods, 21 days out I should have been on soft foods, but nothing sat well unless it was pureed with a stick blender......a month out I was able to switch over to real foods, but sometimes that didn't sit well, and I pureed a few items. I think somewhere between 2 & 3 months things got much easier......if it doesn't feel good, try pureeing them.........they should be moist. I now use my crock pot weekly, and the moist Protein from there is so much easier to digest...... Hope this helps! Good luck. (PS my tummy stopped grumbling for the most part recently--around 3 months) -
When will i feel normal again?
lucclu81 replied to boricua43's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on 07/24 and my energy level was in the dumps and I was tired all the time....why? Because my protein intake was non-existent and the liquid multi-vitamins taste like crap!! I got the Chobani flip low fat Greek yogurt and gummy vites today. After eating the yogurt n the vites with 30 mins I could feel the difference....I didn't feel as tired and I had energy. Even though there was only 12g of protein in the yogurt it made a difference...tomorrow I start mushy foods so I'll hopefully be getting most of my protein through my food. Good luck....try some Greek yogurt for an energy boost....I'm not fond of protein shake any longer(premiere protein vanilla and various flavors of Isopure) but I'm going to try mixing the premier with fruits and see if that works out. I also ordered the sample pack of unjury(recommended by another member) I'll see how that works out. Good luck!! -
Cooking for one is "soul destroying"? I don't cook a lot, but the thought of having to cook three meals a day for a large family like my mother and grandmother's had to do doesn't remotely appeal to me. I get to decide what I make, when. Fortunately, I don't find that soul destroying. I am learning how to "cook" and am finding it fun to roast or grill a protein and some vegetables. I still eat a lot of yogurt, cottage cheese, tuna, turkey, etc. that don't need to be "cooked".

I would ask if they make the sauce (if not ask if they will tell you the calories listed on the container). If they do make it ask whether it's made with low fat yogurt. Full fat Greek Yogurt has has much fat calories as ice cream. Trader Joe's was giving samples of their full fat French vanilla Greek yogurt. I said to myself this tastes like melted ice cream. Well when I read the container it had the same calories! Also often the meat in the Gyros are a mixture of ground up meats. May not really be that healthy. Most Greek places will have chicken Kabobs, I would probably say that would be a MUCH better option.

Day of eating(drinking) - Full liquids
ASBgirl replied to ASBgirl's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I am eating greek yogurt, Atkins shakes, High Protein oatmeal from Bariatric Choice, and High protein Soup I got from Bariatric choice. Frankly very tired of all of these things. Girl I would jump into mushies if I could!!! Maybe just try one new different mushie per day since you are concerned. Maybe that ricotta bake from eggface or something like that would be a good start! -
So frustrating. Gaining? On week 3
Delena2/11 replied to ShrinkingInSeattle's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm a month out and I had the same thing happen to me for a week. I think we just shocked the hell out of our system and it is trying really hard to keep things as they were. Not gonna happen! Don't worry, it will come off. I am now drinking drinking drinking btwn meals and I only "eat" three times a day. If I'm hungry before bed I'll have a fudge sickle or a Greek yogurt but I try to eat nothing but "protein and produce" at my meals. I read that in a book. I think I was eating too much (still not much) but not drinking enough. This has really helped me and the scales moving again. I know I should not be so obsessed with the scale but I cannot seem to help it! It's like heroine! It calls to me. Good luck you will do just fine! -
So my first day on puréed and I've had some refried Beans,wonderful!!! Tonight for supper I chose to eat some Greek yogurt, my NUT said today I prob wouldn't be able to eat the 5oz container, I've been eating on it slowly and I've eaten the 5oz within an hour, slowly and one small bitty bite at a time!! If I'm able to eat the 5oz like that I won't stretch or hurt anything will I? Cause I'm thinking that my stomach is emptying before I'm putting in the next tiny bite! I'm not having any pain with it, and I've not had a drop of anything to drink!!! I know people get tired of the same type questions, sorry just trying to reassure myself Kim

What's your Most Fave/Least Fave...
InfiniteButterfly replied to MistyAnnMoon829's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I look froward to small foods filling me up! It's probably good that your stomach no longer tolerates those things. I kind of hope the same thing happens to me so I can kick the habit. I wouldn't mind at all if it were unhealthy foods my body doesn't tolerate. I'm mostly lactose intolerant (I can eat some cheese without issue, but milk and Greek yogurt set me off badly), can't eat most meats (although I'm learning to like fish...I haven't cooked it a lot in the past). I definitely appreciate that most foods are on my no-eat list though. It definitely makes it easier to avoid sweets and whatnot when you have zero taste for them any more. -
Extended release anti-depressants
acspringhill replied to CharmingTortoise's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I took my heart meds the morning after my first night at the hospital. They crushed them and added them to diluted apple juice in a medicine cup. I took the Effexor later on that night at home. Don't try mixing the capsule granules with jello... Yuck, tasted terrible. Yogurt or applesauce mask the bitterness better. -
try the pureed foodstuffs. Im nervous about getting nauseous and vomiting it up! I had a scrambled egg this morning and could only eat half of it because I was full. I have eaten yogurt and egg drop Soup just fine. I would love some ideas on where to start with this pureed diet situation? Btw, can we have string cheese??

Day 23 post op, can't keep most food down, throwing up bile.
alaina25 replied to alaina25's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Same here Jenny! I feel like I'm depleting my body and the only thing that is keeping me mentally on track if you will, is the weight that I'm losing. I was finally able to finish an entire chononi yogurt this evening which made me feel better since its 14g of protein. -
Please help, considering removing band
Susan58 replied to Susan58's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have never had any sensitivity to food before, but I will start a food diary and see if I notice anything. I was doing so well for about 4 weeks and now all this has started. my band is totally empty. no fill at all. I am a pretty picky eater so I was mostly eating tuna fish, scrambled eggs, fajita chicken, and green Beans, cottage cheese and yogurt, mashed potatoes, and cream of wheat. I would eat slowly and chew, chew, chew. I am going to try only liquids for a couple days and then on to mushies. if it doesn't get any better I will find another doctor. I do feel like I deserve better treatment than this. thanks for the good words !!!! -
Can you eat all this in a day? HELP!
mich74 replied to AchieveGoals's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, I lived off the Protein shakes for the first few days. Even now, 6 weeks out I have to have either a shake or a Greek yogurt to get my protein. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Yogurt Maker, To Make At Home?
robbdtn replied to Mini Me Wanna~Be's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I make yogurt every weekend. It is very easy you can buy a yogurt maker if you choose but it's really not required to make a good tasting product. I got started making yogurt by watching an episode of good eats I couldn't find a link to the episode but here is a link to the recipe-http://www.food.com/recipe/yogurt-homemade-from-good-eats-alton-brown-40602 I use good organic milk now (lesson learned) and i always run the vessels I'm gonna use through the dishwasher to act like a sterilizer before I begin a batch Good Luck- its really very satisfying to make, and if you have an Ice cream maker you are in, just pop in the fresh yogurt with some sliced peaches and you now have a lovely frozen treat- you can also use it to make cheese (kinda a nice farmers style herb it up any way you like) -
How slowly are you eating? I chewed 30 times, and waited one minute between each very small bite. I think that gave my tummy time to send the signal, but I still had issues at first. I didn't try Rtiz crackers. I could eat one or two saltines and about an ounce of soft meat at one sitting. So a typical day at three weeks was: 6 a.m. 1 cup Water 8 a.m. 1 cup decaf 9 a.m. 1/2 cup greek yogurt with splenda 11:00 a.m. Protein drink noon: 1 cup water 1:45 p.m. 2 oz. turkey meatloaf 2:45 I cup crystal light lemonaide 4:30 p.m. Light cheese stick 5:30 p.m. 1 cup water 6:30 p.m. 2 oz. turkey meatloaf 7:30 p.m. 2 oz turkey meatloaf 10 p.m. 1 cup water Lynda Lynda
