I get my daily Protein from meats, fish, Greek yogurt, cheese & nuts. I don't drink Protein Shakes unless I am on liquids from a fill. I consume 60 - 70g of protein daily. Glad you like the Peanut Butter yogurt Grammy.
-
Yes, plain or vanilla Greek yogurt. 1/2 cup and 1 tablespoon of peanut butter.
-
I use chobani yogurt as a snack. Generally if the yogurt is flavored I may add in 1/2 scoop of unflavored protein. Also, really good is plain yogurt with a tbsp of peanut butter for a snack, or PB cookie flavored protein powder.

Me too! I have no problem eating a whole container of yogurt. I get full very fast with dense protein though. I can only eat around 2-3 oz the most.

Week 3: May 27-31st Sleevers
tiredtwinmommy replied to lylabelle's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
As of today, I am twenty pounds lighter, and in the 160s for the first time in almost ten years. I am 4'11 (or five feet zero depending on who is measuring me). I still have apnea even though I lost weight and went through the utter hell of apnea surgery about four years ago. Still taking reflux meds, but I get this weird gurgle feeling up and down my esophagus after eating- like I need to burp but can't. I am on full liquids until July 7 when I am allowed solids (was sleeved May 29), but that includes purees yogurt and pudding at least so not too bad... Head hunger is the worst, my family eats regular food and I smell it and want it, so I have to go into another room until they are done no pain but I have been so tired. I start back to work Monday and go right on call, so I hope I have more energy by then! I really love this thread, seeing that issues I have are normal is comforting. It is interesting though how different we all are as far as post op diets are concerned. This is a very kind and supportive group so glad I found u guys! -
Starting to worry about losing weight pre-op
laurel80 replied to zephra's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
Well last week I lost 5lbs I am on my 2 week pre op diet, with one week left. I can only have protein shakes and sugar free liquids. But I added carbmaster yogurt from Krogers it only has 4grams of carbs and 12 grams of protien =80cals. I also eat this AMAZING new cheese it's a 100 cal pack from Kraft called 3 cheese blend. It's my one treat everyday And only 1gram of carbs. I have been doing 800-1000cals per day and although it sucks it is somewhat tolerable as long as I keep myself busy. I also eat these prepackaged SF jello jigglers from krogers called gel bites and that has helped a ton to keep me satisfied. I don't think I could tolerate 500 cals a day yikes!! You should def. go low carb and you will for sure loose the wt by June 9th. And shrink your liver -
I am just about 3 weeks post op gastric bypass and looking for more ideas of pureed foods. I am so tired of eggs, refried beans and yogurt. I'm going to try the ricotta bake and smoothies tomorrow, but still need a few ideas to keep it interesting. Can't tolerate tofu or fat free gravy and not allowed to have meat yet. Thanks in advance Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Okay vets - how are you doing on your vitamins/minerals supplements?
erp replied to CowgirlJane's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
I am good at taking my multi w iron (chewable) and my B12 (liquid, sublingual). I also take fish oil b/c I was having dry skin. I take that as needed aka when I need it. Where I really fall down is calcium b/c I can't take it with the multi. I have petite calcium citrate from drug store but my favorite is a blueberry flavored liquid calcium. Tastes like yogurt, you might find liquid more agreeable. -
I have 1 egg for breakfast or steel cut oatmeal, mornng snack is cheese stick with almonds or yogurt or Apple, lunch is fish chicken or lean cuisine afternoon snack similar to morning dinner is vegetables with some sort of meat sometimes a glass of hot tea about 5 bottles of water a day

When swallowing tablets of medicine?
tappingmom replied to cocoa8utter's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Try using yogurt instead of water, helps mask the awful taste. -
Do they not give you a number you can call or someone you can email or something to ask questions? Every program is different. My full liquids included things like yogurt.

Hello All, Hope all you sickies are better! My son had his surgery on Tuesday morning, had a very rough time of it for a couple of days..............they had to go in to surgery again because he was bleeding so much...........they found that it was because of all the blood thinnners he is on and they gave him some major clotting factors that did the trick..................He's been in a lot of pain the past few days, but that is getting better, they removed all his drains and today he got to leave ICU and go to a intermediary ICU.............thank God, he's on the mend! Nothing in the world like having your child (even at 43) go thru something like this............this is his 2nd time - had a similar surgery 18 years ago.................hopefully he will not have to repeat this again. So, minus a couple of days this month............I'm hoping to get started back to exercise tomorrow morning................have a bunch of grandkids sleeping over tonight (my son's 3 children) that will stay with Poppops while Grammy goes to the gym in the morning! I've been very tight the past few days (wonder why) and have had to only do yogurt and stuff like that...............hopefully all will settle down and I'll get back to NORMAL!

Soft Serve Frozen Yogurt
jurema replied to susansilver's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I don't see why not. If we're able to have regular yogurt why not the frozen kind, right? -
Soft Serve Frozen Yogurt
Heldie replied to susansilver's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I would say frozen yogurt is a good option especially if its the lowfat version. Its also a source of calcium which (according to the TV commercials) helps with losing weight. We picked up some low fat low calorie yogurt bars from Costco which I love (unusual for me since I am not a fan of yogurt, particularly after the pre-op diet.) -
i'm pretty boring with my breakfasts. I generally rotate through greek yogurt, cottage cheese and egg bites. For the egg bites - think crustless quiche baked in mini muffin pans. 2 sometimes 3 of those make a breakfast for me. I change up the veggies and meat added to them for variety.

Stupid Question, but oh well, I'll still ask...
Diana_in_Philly replied to Coachthex32's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would toss a little shredded cheese in with my scrambled eggs. Also, finely mashed (with a fork) egg salad or tuna salad. I'm not a refried Beans person, so I didn't try that. (It's a texture thing for me.) The Ricotta Bake is amazing. I think I lived on that for the first week I was on purees. Also, Oikos Triple Zero Greek Yogurt (15 grams protein) - personally, I love the coconut creme and salted caramel flavors. Just had a strawberry one for breakfast today. You'll find your way. You may find that stuff you liked pre-surgery, you don't like now. -
I go through some weird phases where one day I can get a portion down no problem, then the next day the same size portion would make me feel miserable. I'm a year out now and chicken still will get me from time to time like no other meat does. Haven't been able to figure out any rhym or reason to it. All I can guess is that I didn't chew a few bites well enough, or took a few bites too quickly. For instance, if I was eating a hunk of chicken I wouldn't be able to eat a whole one. However if I took that same size chicken breast and shredded it into chicken salad I could probably get it all down. Most of us get burnt out on protein shakes but try to keep them worked into your diet to hit your daily goals. At least until you can your protein in directly from food sources. My doc used to get "mad" at me for telling him I was eating 3 meals a day plus 2-3 "snacks", but those snacks were good protein sources. There was no way in hell I could get all my protein in from eating in the course of 3 meals. I had no choice but to have a protein shake as a fourth meal or a random Greek yogurt to hit my goals.

What was your first food after the liquid stage?
rosiec223 replied to QueenEB's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I made a black bean puréed soup. YUM! Then next meal was puréed hard boiled egg with either low fat mayo or Greek yogurt. That’s where I am right now. Love hearing the other options thanks everyone! -
I tried oatmeal too as one of the first soft foods and it did not go well for me either. I switched to cream of rice, I made it with skim milk and splenda and it was pretty good, went down MUCH easier than oatmeal and I didn't feel like garbage afterward. If food is getting stuck, you might not be chewing it enough...I know! Chewing oatmeal? The other problem could be taking bites that are too big. Eating anything is completely different than before surgery. I am one month out today, and I learn something new every day! Today has not been a great food day for me, so I am just taking it super easy, more (yucky) protein drinks, yogurt, soup blah blah...Good Luck!!! Hope you find that eating gets easier. OH! The other thing I had to do when things felt stuck was take little TINY sips of water, just to lube things up and get it down. I know we aren't supposed to drink and eat but when you can't swallow....

I was sleeved on Thursday, so we're close. I haven't tried anything other than plain Water and water with Crystal Light (I did not like it - it make me more thirsty). I tried some broth, but that didn't go well. Jello about made me yack. I can get thru an 8 ounce thinned out shake in about 30-40 minutes. I get frustrated that I can't take in more. I'm allowed 2 T. of "slip and slide" food - applesauce, Greek yogurt, sugar free jello, sugar free pudding, cottage cheese, etc. I can get the applesauce down, but again, that takes about 30 minutes. I'm feeling much better today - still a few gas pains now and then.

I feel pretty good but am a little hungry so I just had a fudge pop. I feel a lot better having something in my tummy rather than water and juice. Has anyone else moved onto the yogurt, pudding Etc type foods before day 10? I know everyone's docs have different rules and I don't intend on moving into the mushy stage till day 14 but anyone able to do the yogurt, pudding etc this early on without incident?

Today is Day 12 - Post op... I've heard of stalls happening at weeks 3 & 4 but not week 2. I lost 14 pounds the first week after surgery and only 1 pound during week 2. The good news is that I haven't gained any. Has anybody had this happen before? The stall began when I started the full liquids (yogurt, pudding, soups). Related? The other thing that concerns me is that it's been 9 days since I've had a BM. Normal for post - op?

Today is 4 weeks post RNY surgery for me. - Down 16.8 lbs. I've had a couple of times where my weight has stayed stable for more than 5 days in that 4 weeks (including now). Still watching to see if a pattern emerges and trying to take it in stride (not always successfully). - No issues with liquids at all (yay!). I have been getting between 80 and 100 most days. - Eating up to 4 oz at a time. I haven't tried for more except with greek yogurt (I eat the whole container of the Oikos triple zero which is just over 5 oz). - On soft foods for the last 2 weeks and so far I've tolerated everything I've tried (eggs, Tuna, Ricotta bake, lunchmeat, etc...). I had chicken for the first time today (canned and made into chicken salad) and that went down well. - I can get my protein in but only if I do a couple of shakes (or max a premier out by adding some collagen). - Walking daily up to 1 mile. I go back to work on Thursday (I was VERY fortunate to take a full month off). I also plan on starting back with my rowing machine in addition to the walking. All in all I am extremely happy with how I've healed so far. I'm looking forward to continuing the journey. I have a lot of work ahead of me to get to a healthy weight but I am hopeful.

kla7403 replied to Jonathan Carlson's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Ive been wanting to try these because I thought they weren't greek style yogurt. I cannot do the taste of greek yogurt.
