I agree bobbyswife. I don't want to fail. I've invested too much with my life change. I know all of this. I guess I needed some reinforcement and encouragement. Plus some good ideas to combat the cravings. Right now all I have is fruit, light and fit greek yogurt, healthy nut crunch and protein bars.

There are fast food items that wouldn't be too bad...just stick with the Proteins and leave out the carbs. Burger without the bun, grilled chicken, chili, fajita burritos (just don't eat the tortilla), Etc. I'm single and not a fan of cooking, so I get a lot of stuff from my local deli. BBQ ribs, broccoli bacon salad, turkey curry salad, egg salad (served on a slice of tomato), meatloaf that I cut up and freeze into individual meal portions, sushi. Also, I don't get a lunch break, so I always keep Protein Bars, mixed nuts, pumpkin seeds, and Jerky around to snack on while I'm driving. For sweets, I'm a fan of frozen pineapple chunks, frozen blueberries, and I make ice cream with protein powders, Greek yogurt, milk and Torani syrups. Just finished a batch of banana protein with peanuts and started a batch of muscle milk red velvet cake, caramel syrup and chopped walnuts. Frozen vanilla protein with OJ or mio tangerine drops taste just like a dreamsicle. If you do like to cook, but are bored with the same old stuff, there are great recipes on bariatricfoodie and the world according to eggface. And If you haven't tried them, Quest bar banana nut muffin or cinnamon bun flavors might make a good accompaniment with your coffee.

Weighing or measuring food?
_Kate_ replied to WitchySar's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also weigh yogurts, cottage cheese etc in ounces too. I can then make sure I can add the right things into myfitnesspal. Kate -
After surgery, beef returns to the menu six months after surgery. Beef is a good source of protein, iron and zinc. We emphasize the low fat cuts of beef when you get to have them back in your diet to save calories and avoid saturated fat that can contribute to heart disease. After surgery, beef returns to the menu six months after surgery. Beef is a good source of protein, iron and zinc. We emphasize the low fat cuts of beef when you get to have them back in your diet to save calories and avoid saturated fat that can contribute to heart disease. The leanest, or lowest fat, cuts include any cut of beef that has the words “round” or “loin” in the name. These cuts include top sirloin, round steak, eye of round, tenderloin (ex: filet mignon), ground round or ground sirloin. Look for ground beef that is 90 percent lean or higher. Choose “select” cuts of beef over “prime” or “choice.” The select cuts have less fat than prime or choice cuts. Leaner beef can dry out and work best by using moist methods of cooking like stewing, braising, boiling and crockpot. Use a lid on your cooking dish if you microwave, sauté or stir fry to trap moisture. Dry cooking methods include grilling, broiling, roasting and baking which can dry out the beef. You can prevent beef from drying out by covering with a moist sauce or marinade like salsa, low calorie dressing or low fat or fat free yogurt mixed with herbs and spices. Beef, it really can be what’s for dinner!

Pouch already stretched at 6 weeks out?
AnnaValenka posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, I've been feeling like I'm eating too much, and think I'm already going back to my old bad habits, my NUT program says Protein shake for Breakfast and dinner, a 1cup size of a kinda regular meal at noon (very little carbs and fat) and 2 Snacks in between (fruit). The problem is, I can't stand the flavor of the Protein Shake, I made my own recipe of a high protein dessert which is made of 1 scoop of Protein powder (24 grams) + Greek yogurt (12.9) + milk powder (7.8) + cocoa powder or frozen strawberries and I have it once a day, besides that I try to eat as much protein as I can even in snacks. I know some of you will call me crazy but I feel hunger since 2-3 weeks ago, and I eat mostly out of hunger, let's say, lentils Soup for breakfast 1 cup, fruit with yogurt for snack, my regular lunch (1 cup), protein dessert and another soup or meat for dinner, some times I have a double snack. I don't really have so much trouble with my liquids, 84 Oz, most of the time half Water half 2% milk because I don't like the taste of water. My waiting time between eat - drink - eat is about 10 minutes, some times less without consequences. I stalled at week 3, had dumping syndrome once because I forgot I'm not allowed to have sugary drinks and once out of refried Beans ( and I mean real Mexican REFRIED beans), learned the lesson and never suffered again. I've been losing very slowly for the last 2 week's and I want to know if any of you heard about a stretched pouch this early. I had a gastric bypass last April 29th, initial weight 308, current weight 266. It sounds a lot for 6 weeks, am I living this too fast? Sent from my Sony Xperia -
Reversal for gastric sleeve?
Gladys62 replied to Gladys62's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
THANK YOU!!!! See this is the kind of stuff it would have been nice if I could have discussed it with my doctor. I love this site! You are all helping me. I'm TRYING to pump up my bravery! I'm testing so we will see. I found a berry flavored protein and I tried it in a vanilla Greek yogurt....nope. Not my thing. Lol. Maybe I put to much. I MAY try again. I am doing well with Sobe waters, vitamin waters, and Powerade with a little water added. I got 32 oz Powerade in yesterday!! Not much food but fluids are starting to make it thanks to suggestions on here! Your posts are appreciated more than you know!!! -
Day 8 - on to stage two, full liquids. Today I am nauseated. New things I tried today Plain fat free yogurt with protein powder. Not very good tasting and not fun to eat. I tried a V 8 which tasted good and went down easy. Too easy I think because I had some feeling of bloat for a while afterward. Without using the medicine cups I seem to be drinking too fast. Gas is still a problem too. I lost five more pounds for a total of 15.5 since the prep diet on 7/24/20. This evening I went for a walk but I couldn’t go for that long just 15 minutes or so. I feel weak and I already have neuropathy in my feet so I have balance issues. I have exercises that I can do to promote better balance but I need permission from the surgeon to put them into action. I was also able to take all my 3x tops out of my closet because they are super loose on me. I’m donating them to a church that serves the poor in my city. I’m going to have to do something about my sluggish digestive tract. I have only gone once and that’s not typical for me at all. I have colace but they are gel caps and they are bigger then the mouth of a straw. Not sure what to do. I’ll bring it up with the doctor on Tuesday.

Day 24 - trouble with chicken. I’ve been eating fish every night with a yogurt sauce which is very well tolerated. I tried to eat Chipotle’s chopped chicken but found it hard to tolerate. I have to find ways to eat chicken that are easily digested. I don’t like the feeling of the meat going down even if it’s chewed well. I’m going to work on finding recipes this week that are suitable. On the exercise side of things, I did a nice hike today on a nature path. Actually broke a sweat.

I didnt really have any restrictions, but it is rare I eat white bread, pasta or rice. Maybe once a week I will have a serving of whole wheat pasta, rice or bread. Bread is usually 1/2 a serving, as it tends to swell more. I do eat my protein first. But it seems like if I dont balance it out with a carb, my stomach hates me for 4 or 5 hours. I am guessing because it is harder to digest? I can do canned chicken, or the perdue shortcuts chicken. Other chicken I cant. Turkey I cant unless smothered in gravy. Pork and ham, cant do. They actually hurt. Steak if cooked medium I can do it, but chewed really good and can only eat about an ounce. Beef, eh, depends on how tender it is. Tuna canned. Fish, not really. So I am quite limited on protein. I do cheese and string cheese, but again they also have carbs. I could live on yogurt! SW 350 (11/15) BSW 260 (10/17/17) CW 216.1 (2/4/18) RGW 199 GW 175

2 week post op and worried I am not doing it right!!!
Bozzj replied to Csplash's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i'd check with your doc because mine doesn't allow oatmeal or chicken salad yet. i have to be on mushies for 2 weeks before i can have it. i've been eating cottage cheese doubles, yogurt, campbell's select Soups, mashed potatoes/sweet potatoes and creamed spinach from boston market, pastina (not filling though so i only had it once), runny scrambled eggs, farina, Water based Protein shakes. -
I was banded on the 7th. I haven't had any problems drinking. I have an 8 oz protein shake for breakfast and soft food like yogurt, mashed pototoes, SF pudding, SF popcicles and jello the rest of the time. I haven't had any pains, just a little sore. Tonight is my first night back to work. :thumbup:

I have been thinking a lot about how I want not only my stomach size to change, but that i want my dietary habits to completely change for the better. I believe in the power of habits and I need to use this tool to break many or most of mine. I have been thinking about how I eat but also about how my kids eat, age 2 and 5. My son is five and is a very picky eater and very slim. His favorite food is an apple! My daughter is 2 and she is already a little plump, and she will eat anything you put in front of her and is a sweets aholic. I don't want then to have a weight problem one day and suffer the way I have. For a long time I have worried about their diet. We eat family well, mostly whole food without any fast food usually, we don't drink soda and barely ever drink juice We eat out occasionally but mostly eat from home. The meals I make are fairly carb heavy but my kids usually prefer to eat the Protein unless it is spaghetti or pizza. We eat things like stew, chicken Soup, pizza, grilled cheese, tacos, spaghetti, lasagna, hamburgers, eggs, etc. We eat a lot of desert sweets. We love to eat ice cream, cake, Cookies, fudge, candy, etc. we eat tons of it. I want to take refined super totally off our menus and out of our house. I also want to eat only lean protein and whole grain, unprocessed carbs, increase our vegetables and cut out pizza and juice altogether. I don't mind the kids eating wheat bread but I won't post surgery. I'd like to replace the Desserts with fruit or yogurt or take them out entirely- which do you think is better? Is it easier to just go cold turkey and stop doing dessert? I was raised eating desert and I find I am programmed to crave sweets after eating. I was to undo this habit and not give it to my kids. I also want to eat my last meal of the day by 6, 6:30 and be done for the day. I've though about writing out some meal plans for us to follow for the first few months and would love suggestions. Also, my kids take food to to school with them and I need ideas for healthy lunches that don't involve processed carbs. Do you all think this is possible? Any advice? I'm worried my sweets cravings are going to make me miserable. I also found a link to a bariatric food pyramid. Pretty awesome!!! http://www.drsharma.ca/obesity-the-bariatric-food-pyramid.html

just the thought of pureed meat makes me slightly nauseated. there was no way in hell i was gonna actually put it in my mouth. i ate alot yogurt and cottage cheese to get protein when on mushies. i also like tuna quite a bit so that helped as well

Does your sleeve get tighter or looser depending on what you eat?
Oregondaisy replied to 300PoundsDown's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I do have days where I can hardly eat much at all and other days I feel like I can eat too much. It's weird. I have no idea what causes that. Dr. Campos ( Dr Achieves assistant) told me my sleeve has stretched all that it's going to when he did my upper GI in May . I know it's way different when I eat solid Protein than if I eat something mushy like yogurt. -

I often use a baby spoon to eat my yogurt & granola at lunch. I feel it helps me eat smaller bites and allows me to eat longer and take about the same time as my coworkers around me. I get odd looks when someone first notices it- but Oh Well it is helpful to me!

Two days Post-op (semi miserable)
LateBloomer replied to YoungNy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
leepizz, I have found nirvana at stores like Whole FOods and my liquid diet has actually become enjoyable. A favourite moment after the 5 days of clear liquids was having my first "full liquid" aka creamy or strained soups. Soups like Roasted Butternut Squash with garlic and sauteed crab meat found at a local high end grocer are so tasty. Strain if you need to. If I was eating canned soups I'd be very unhappy at the moment, even though I usually don't mind them. But when soup is all you can eat, get the gourmet homemade kinds and you will find the liquid diet quite bearable. So far: Carrot ginger, cream of asparagus, lobster bisque (the brand I had was gross though), cream of curried corn and coconut. I have bought soups for the pureed phase coming up next week and can't wait to get to them (like Chicken Tortilla, Curried Turkey Noodle, Cream of Tomato Basil... oh yeah). Also, very high quality yogurt is my salvation. A bit of smoked cheeses melted into plainer soup is good for protein and flavour as well. Let the real chefs help you through this time. -
