I am going to start posting here too... Today has sucked. All i've had all day is Blue Diamond Wasabi & Soy Sauce flavored almonds. I've eaten almost the whole can but they are low carb and 6 grams of protein a serving (6 servings in a can). I am full though. LOL. Where is this carbmaster yogurt sold?? Who makes it? Im intrigued!

Any May 2010 Bandsters?
Gone4Good replied to Quinny's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have been feeling hungry the last two days. Had my surgery Friday- I don't know if he used a larger band on me or what, but the Jello just isn't cutting it. The nutritionist told me, and the lady in the class with me, not to eat yogurt during the first 2 weeks, but I had to- broth makes me want to throw up. I get so nauseated when I smell it- So I had to have something with some nutritional value. The yogurt seems to be doing fine, but I still feel hungry again within a couple of hours. I can definitely tell that I am going to need a fill when the time comes!! -
I know it's normal, but I'm still freaking out (Stall?)
StacyS replied to apple-saucy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Are you guys outta your stall yet? I'm at week 3 and haven't lost a pound since Monday. I am totally prepared for the 3 week stall everyone goes through but I'm on full liquids and am having a lot of issues getting anything think down. I'm able to get blended creamed Soup, blended greek yogurt, and nectar Protein Water... but that's seriously it! I'm not even close to getting 64oz of fluids in, and maybe get 60g of protein in a day.... I'm so sad! I was so excited to drink my yummy chocolate Protein shakes, but NOPE, they dont go down! So, I was just wondering if ya'll were able to break your stall and at which week did it break? For me, it's not like I can up my calorie intake, or increase protein, etc. I have come to accept the fact that it's gonna take me a while longer to move through the stages. But any advice would be appreciated!! -

Angel11 replied to healthydnp's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel the same way, PoohBear22! I'm hungry too! Just watching my family eat everything has been very hard. I have just had Protein shakes & popsicles. This Thursday, I can have yogurt, oatmeal & fudge pops. Bring it on ; ) Hang in there! -
Good luck for that 3-day stretch dogmom! I know you'll do fine though. I had a BM today too!! So my record so far is 4 days. Seems so weird. Was hubby's bday today and went out to dinner with him and daughter. I just picked at what they had. I ate 2 shrimp, a bite of cod, and a couple bites of potato. Was just enough and tasted yummy. Stopped at grocery store and stocked up on protein - shrimp, tilapia, tuna, beef strips, and chicken. As well as some greek yogurt.

HEALTHY Vegan/Vegetarian Recipe Swap and Pics!
mamamac2 replied to Newme17's topic in Vegetarian or Vegan Eating
I ate a lot of refried beans. I also would pour some of the liquid out of lentil soup and put my immersion blender in it to eat the thickened lentils and vegetables. I ate greek yogurt and tofu. I think I was allowed to eat string cheese at that point as well. I was allowed to have eggs then, but only had them a few times at that stage. -
Amount of food...Kinda freaking out!
Jordan861 replied to snowkitten's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 4 days from being 2 mths post op. Basically I eat what ever I want - the thicker the food the less I eat. Yogurt - about 4 oz... Fish about 2 oz and a little less than one egg. On the average between 1/4 and 1/2 cup is max. -
Sleeve buddy
VanessaVSGforme replied to Always smiling's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I haven't tried ice chips yet, I should probably give it a try. I'm doing okay with broth, but theres only so much I can take of the taste xD, as for the yogurt and oatmeal is that during the liquid stage or the Puree stage? but yeah we just need to hang in there, We will reach our goals! According to my lil plan, yogurt and cream of wheat is something I can start now...but there's no way. If I can't even do the Protein drinks, how the heck can I do yogurt and cream of wheat ???? ... ice chips help me get fluids in. let me know how u do. -
I eat yogurt daily and it regulates my bowel movement. If I'm feeling constipated, I double my daily yogurt intake. I remembered I was constipated on the first week though. The doctor advised me to buy Dulcolax. It does get better though.

No snacking for me. Solid meals and meal times as instructed by me team (thank goodness) because the further out I get the more relaxed my restriction is so i can easily eat more than required. But yogurt with granola or a protein bar as a meal.

Tell Me Your Favorite Pureed Meals
melissamae99 replied to mrsnate's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I am really not tolerating my protein shakes now...they taste too sweet to me. I don't know what to do. I can't get by on yogurt alone!..,not for 6 weeks! -
I'm on day 5 of my 14-day pre-op diet. My surgeon/nutritionist is pretty much: 3 Protein shakes per day plus any non-caffeinated non-sugar liquids, including broth, decaf coffee, mio Water enhancers, Jello, etc. Basically no solids, though jello and non-fat low-carb greek yogurt are okay. Protein drinks =========== I make my own protein shakes using: 1 cup unsweetened almond milk 1/2 to 1 scoop Protein Powder (vanilla or chocolate) 1/4 cup non-fat unflavored greek yogurt 1 Tbs sugar free Torani syrup (I have like 15 flavors now...S'Mores, Cookies 'n Cream, Butterscotch, Peach, etc.) I have one of those blender bottles. Saves a fortune in protein drinks making them myself. Broths/Soups =========== I'm being creative with broths and adding different spices to different meals and some egg whites to protein the broth up a bit. So adding a bit of low sodium soy sauce + ginger + white pepper for asian-inspired or garlic powder + cumin + cilantro + onion powder + chili powder for mexican-inspired. Just to change things up a bit. Popsicles! ========= I'm also stocked up on boxes of sugar free popsicles which help with the 'solid food' cravings. Jello ==== Ah, we all hate jello. I mix some sugar free flavors and whip in some vanilla protein powder to add some protein. I'll be doing more of that post-surgery when I get to that eating phase. Jello also helps with the "solid food" cravings. Hope that helps

Head says "Eat! Eat! Eat!" How do I get through it?!
GotProlactinoma replied to bookworm1983's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Do not eat anything that tastes sweet. Period. It leads to the wrong gut bugs developing population in your gut and forcing you to crave what they want, which is sugar in some form. It’s the only craving you can’t satisfy with healthy food, so don’t ever eat sugar free popsicles, jellos, or fruit. At least no fruit for 6 months. Develop a taste for roasted root veggies, even potatoes - all gut bugs need carbs but the better populations love starchy vegetables. Make your treats be things like 85% or higher dark chocolate or potatoes or roasted other root veggies. Stay away from all sweets. Each time you eat, eat protein. Use veggies and beans or seeds as your bite or two of carbs after the protein each time you eat. When I get the munchies now I eat 90% dark chocolate which you can eat in small quantities, and it is no longer a candy. It’s got very little sugar so it’s more of a vegan antioxidant with a pick me up than a sweet. I kept fruit out of my diet as my nutritionist suggested for 6 months. Now I can have one strawberry a day or a handful of blueberries. I’m only 9 lbs from goal. I am so glad that now sweet things make me feel quite ill. I used to have a sweet tooth. I eat at least 50% fat every day, so I know for a fact ain’t fat making us fat. So if I want a triple cream cheese or full fat yogurt (plain) I go for it. Or a juicy steak. I never look for low fat or lean anything. Eat fat, plenty of protein, and some veggie carbs. It will really lower your cravings I promise. Those gut bugs are too powerful when they want something. -
Am I doing this right am I broken?
It'sAlbright replied to It'sAlbright's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had to get another blood draw and they told me I was lacking in potassium and my blood pressure was super low. I was also recommended to drink a bottle of Gatorade Zero as well. Right after surgery every time I would shower the steam would make me want to faint/vomit and standing up in general was an absolute nightmare. I am about 4 weeks post-op and am still struggling to eat anything besides greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and tuna lol. My starting weight was 278 and now I am down to 241. It is very exciting! Keep up the great work. -
If You've Had Duodenal Switch Surgery Share...
Jace Miller replied to Elisabethsew's topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
Yes, And the dietician working with the bmi. They tod me it was probably because I wasn't getting enough copper which I've increased my intake of. I just meant that it's been my biggest struggle, the falling I mean. The protein they told me would probably get better over time. Interesting. I take a lot of copper because I need a lot of zinc (which I poop out). So the copper balances the zinc. I hope they're keeping a close watch on your copper via your blood work. Perhaps you'd consider using a cane until things go back to normal. You don't want to be falling. As for the protein, they're probably right. I drank 1 shake per day for the first 2 years as I couldn't eat enough. Have your tried other things than meat to supplement your protein: chicken, yogurt, fish, cheese, nuts, etc.? Actually I drink two protein shakes and snack on nuts daily, I did try fish and chicken, chicken when I eat it more often then once in a while leaves me feeling very bloated even in small amounts. fish just made me nauseous. I had a black bean burger the other day which went fine. cheese if I eat more then a thin slice causes some problems. Any suggestions for recipes? -
PB-ing a few times a day, too tight, slowed weight loss...
Lauren448 replied to Lauren448's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Boos, Crystal, Stephanie and Cathy... thanks so much for the feedback. As far as chewing well enough - agreed, I sometimes forget to chew as well as I should, but really for the most part, I have no other choice if I want to get something down. I think it is very telling when you are PBing on YOGURT and other soft foods - so chewing may not always be the issue. The juicing idea sounds good for nutrient intake, but it doesn't sound like something we should consider for the long run and in place of "real" food. This journey should really be a lifestyle change we can live with and that should include being able to eat solid foods to stay healthy. After reading your posts and living with this for the past couple of months, I realize I should call my doctor and schedule an unfill... even if it's only a half of a cc. I am getting so frustrated - depressed really - over not being able to eat real foods and swallow normally. It's not uncommon for me to have to stop my car sometimes to throw up on the roadside with something I just can't swallow or digest. Now that's kind of ridiculous and is good cause for me to reconsider how tight I am. So, the reason I am eating some junk food is because it actually goes down and I need to have the feeling of actually swallowing food sometimes! I do realize that sometimes the PBing gets worse when I forget to chew, take too big of a bite, or eat that extra forkful - but it's happening too often now and it can't be good for my health or esophagus. Time to get into see my Dr. and have a little taken out. Thanks again for the great advice! All the best to all of you. I'll keep you posted. -
I eat a shake or fage plain yogurt with some jam
-
My "go to" breakfast choices are ground turkey, pesto and cheese, cubed ham, an egg and cheese; leftover dinner from the night befor. If I'm going for a run, I typically have 1/4 steel cut oats mixed with 1/3 milk, half a carton of greek yogurt and a tbs of Peanut Butter. I agree that breakfast doesn't need to be traditional "breakfast" food.

I eat Greek yogurt with granola every morning.

Pre-Op Diet Fears...how did you do it?
SalOdyssey replied to fancypants67's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
What does your plan allow? I did an all liquid shakes/broth diet for 2 weeks. Days 2-4/5 were HELL. Stomach rumbling, slight headache. Do your best to stay occupied, and remain focus. It is a large hill to climb, but you can get there. My plan allows for sugar free Jello, pudding, light yogurt, cream of wheat/oatmeal, and 1-2 cups veggies. Stay Strong @@fancypants67!! -
Joni...Notime...I was getting worried about you, sooo glad you both checked in and very thankful we are all doing okay. Wow, Joni...I am only allowed liquid protein right now, I can't go onto yogurt or mashed potatoes until day 8...then I am really looking forward to a scrambled egg...lol I was also up on my weight when I got home but understand it to be from the saline that I was filled with. My surgeon does the leak test before he completes the surgery..they fill you up with saline and look for bubbles, then the body needs to absorb all that extra fluid which is why my weight was up. Showered today and took off the bandages...damn, I look beaten up, but other than gas pains I am feeling pretty good. You know I forgot to ask my surgeon how many staples are inside of me...anyone know?

I'm supposed to get 70 gm/protein and 64 oz fluid. Wow that's a lot of protein in your yogurt. I'll have to check out OIKOS. Don't know that I've ever paid attention and seen it. What flavors do they have?
-
Yes, today I have had 4 oz Protein drink, 4 oz yogurt, 4 oz milk, and several oz of diet V8 Splash and Water. I still have quite a bit to go, but taking it very slowly. Hope you rest well!

What foods have you broken up with?
lizonaplane replied to Smanky's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I was hoping that my tastes would change after surgery, but they really did not, with the exception of french fries/fried potatoes (tried two different types out of curiosity and they just tasted mealy and gross). I enjoy the protein shakes and artificially sweetened yogurt. I haven't had any real sweets yet, so I guess I'm hoping to break up with those. I'm at my parents' house right now and there are some other guests so my mom bought my favorite cake from the fancy French bakery and I didn't try it. I am afraid that I will like it and I won't stop eating sweets. Also, I had a bit of fear of dumping, even though I had the sleeve. I ate a light and fit greek yogurt watching them eat the cake... it was a little sad.
