These are a nice treat to have if you have kids in the house ( my husband loves them too) only 35 calories. If your really trying to have healthy treats in the house for your family, this is a good one. Blueberry Lemon Yogurt Cookies 1 cup granulated sugar 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt 1 large egg, beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup fresh blueberries 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon zest 1. Make the cookies: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease several baking (spray with PAM) sheets, or line them with silicone baking mats, and set aside. 2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the sugar and yogurt, then blend in the egg and vanilla. 3. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together, then blend it into the wet yogurt mixture. Gently fold in the blueberries. 4. Drop tablespoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Bake for about 10 minutes, until the cookies start to barely brown at the edges. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for two minutes, and then move the cookies to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Some of the blueberries will burst during baking—this is to be expected and will not affect the taste!

How do you exercise on 800 calories a day?
fonally replied to mariamitani's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Also I do get in all my Protein. Mostly Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, super milk ( that's what I call skim milk with dry milk in it!!), and lean hamburger and quality protein. I eat about 1000 calories a day. I have lost 22 lbs in three weeks and I'm healthy. In the long run a 1000 calories a day is a fraction of what we used to eat. I figure the more fuel for my body the better it can work to burn the fuel ( fat). Don't stress about this all that will make your body only hold on to fat. Relax go with the process dont stress. If you can only do twenty minutes then do it and eat more and work up to it. We worked SOOOO hard to get here so enjoy it. Enjoy the sensations and feelings of a changing new you. And I always take my Vitamins because if we don't eventually we will get very I'll . I've seen it before in friends. Just follow your DRs directions and feel your way through. You will be great!! -
Vegetarians(or Vegans!)
KCgirl061 replied to despacit0w0's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm not a vegetarian but I do have some meatless ideas for you. I enjoy a lot of yogurt and cottage cheese. I find Oikos Triple Zero gives you the best high protein/high fiber/low sugar option. My favorite way to prepare cottage cheese is with toasted walnuts and a drizzle of honey. For meals I have a fiesta black bean quinoa salad that my husband and I just love. (I'll post a link for the recipe) I also like to make wraps with hummus and black beans, spinach leaves and red pepper slices. Egg salad would also be a good idea especially if you are still early in pureed/soft stages. So would lentil soup. https://www.crunchycreamysweet.com/roasted-sweet-potato-black-bean-quinoa-salad-recipe/ https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/lemony-lentil-soup/ -
Low carb versus low calorie
SKCUNNINGHAM replied to Jensharley's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I am days away from my six month surgiversary. The only carbs I get are from dairy (yogurt and cottage cheese), veggies, fruit (in my smoothies) and the occasional piece of flatbread/cracker or melba toast with cheese. On special occaisions, I may have 1-2 T of rice or mashed potatoes. I also have indulged in fried hushpuppies once in six months (just a couple). I do not eat white carbs (rice, noodles or bread(white or wheat)). Carbs are what I ate mindlessly before - I would anesthesize myself with them. It is better for me to stay away from them. -
Daily Nutritional Percentage Goals
Francess replied to msgabrii's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I am only one week out, but my info says never more than 10g fat or 10g sugar at one time. At 2 weeks I can have smooth food (like yogurt). At 3 week I can add soft veggies and canned fruit(limited). At 8 weeks I can add fresh veggies and nuts. Not sure where meat and cheese go in this schedule? I have post op meeting next week with lots more questions on nutrition. -
Had a really late night, so just fixed Breakfast for lunch: Chipotle eggs (egg scrambled with a half tablespoon of greek yogurt for body and extra Protein and half tablespoon of chipotle chilies in adobo sauce...yuuuuuum), and two small slices of uncured hickory smoked bacon (also yum).

I'm nearly 3 years post-op. My original weight loss goal was 150, but I ended at 130 and now on average I'm between 135-137. I feel like I need to be eating more unprocessed forms of Protein but life is busy and most times I just grab what's easiest and since I tend to not care about food much any more the repetition doesn't bother me at all, I just want something to put in my stomach; in fact if I don't get my yogurt and trail mix, I'm a bear:-) A typical day for me: B: Yoplait 100 cal. greek yogurt with 1/2 dark chocolate cranberry trail mix or a Pure Protein Bar and 2 cheese Sticks L: 1 cup chicken salad on a bed of spinach and some honey mustard on the side D: 2oz of cheese 5 club crackers, a 100 cal yogurt with 1/4 cup trail mix or a weight watchers meal or a turkey and cheese roll-up S: skinny cow ice cream I try to not to go over 1300 calories but nothing under 1,100. Of course there are days that I go over and under but it all balances itself out.

Curious what everyone had that was solid after surgery for food? I'm currently having shakes, yogurt, cottage cheese..but can't stop thinking about solid food! Wondering if you start bland or what others had? Sleeved 9/12/16

Good challenge. It will be tough today for me since we've got snow and I won't be walking at lunch. But I'll try to get the three miles in somehow after work. Had a good weekend but I'm bummed out because I expected a loss and had a gain. I did drink with my meal yesterday when company came (dumb) and I had dessert. So I'm not shocked, just disappointed. I really thought the week of walking would override that but it didn't. It also didn't override the snacking on nuts I did nearly every day last week. Today I'm not going to snack and I will focus on low calorie choices and zero crap. I started with yogurt and have boiled eggs planned for lunch. I sent most of the leftovers home with the company yesterday so I won't be tempted by Pasta and sweets. dinner will be beef and salad. Stressful week ahead with divorce crap. Not gonna eat over it. Nope. Not gonna do it.

Lisa, you're not alone and you're not the only one struggling. Take a breath. You've been through a lot with your son lately. It's devastating to watch someone you love suffer. Your posts always make me think and always point me to something in my life I need to see too. When I don't see you posting as often it means you must be off trying to handle it all on your own. For me that doesn't work. I find success when I reach out. So let's grab this thing by the horns and beat it back. I've had several weeks of losing and gaining the same five pounds. Why? I want to eat what I want and drink wine whenever I want. That got me really far didn't it? Today I had yogurt for Breakfast because I forgot that all my Protein shakes were At work. Then deli meat and cheese for lunch. Now Soup and a salad for dinner. I commit to no more food after this dinner and no wine tonight. I'm off to an OA meeting as well. I got my stairs in at work and guess what. For today that is my imperfect day and that's just fine.

Can someone please explain..
flower faery replied to flower faery's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Thank you so much everybody for your encouragement and advice. It has really helped. I'm staying away from the scale for a week. My follow up appointment at the doctor's office is next Tuesday and I'll let them weigh me then. I might even get my 1st fill that day. I've added in a lot more Proteins, I'm not eating as many carbs and I've increased the calorie intake a little bit...not much. The pudding and yogurt are not sugar free. Unfortunately I have really bad reactions to artificial sweeteners so I can't have them. But I haven't even had pudding in a week and when I do eat it it's only a couple of times a week at most. Both the pudding and yogurt are low fat though. The mayo I eat is lite mayo (not fat free). I have had some butter on my potatoes but it's a really small amount..barely there. The cheese is full fat but I have such a tiny amount it doesn't add up to much. I get a bit of exercise through my job, so I'm not just sitting all day. I'll be joining the gym again in November when I have enough money and I know that will really help a lot. I guess I just expected to always see a loss at least for the first few months when I got on the scale and seeing not only that I hadn't lost weight but gained some floored me. My body has freaked out I guess. lol. I do have a slow metabolism unfortunately. I know the exercise will speed it up a bit though, so in November I'm hoping to see more pounds coming off. -
4 days out... Frustrated
apricotsmommy replied to lwilliams65's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You asked about yogurt and pudding....those are okay when the doc says full liquids. With my doc that was a week. He also said to wait a couple of days on gulls to try them. Don't want to make you sad but many folks mention fairy intolerance for some period of time after surgery. Other have no issues at all. Also, just a thought but maybe try half a scoop of the unjury. A half scoop in grape Gatorade didn't suck too bad for me. I won't say best drink ever either though..... -

I am 6 mos so I can eat most of my protein without supplementing but it is a PITA so I keep trying with the supplements. -
Lap Band With Gastric Plication
Short and Chunky replied to Calamity Jane's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
LadyScorpio = I am so sorry about your parents. I know (from experience) how hard this is. You are doing fine. Hang in there and be as strong as possible (you have no choice). As for your weight. You have to take care of yourself too. You are no good to your parents, your family or yourself if you don't. Try to plan just a bit. If you have to grab fast food - eat the hamburger w/o the bread. Get the side order of apples or a fruit cup maybe even the yogurt. I know it is not perfect and not totally on "the plan" (my doctor is no carbs) but it is better than eating onion rings and a McDouble! Also, keep a bottle of Water with you at all times, that way you will get in your liquids. I am an emotional eater and nothing calms me like sweets and carbs - this is a rough time for you and you don't want to find comfort in food - I know that is easier said than done, but try..Stay on this site - you know we are all here for you and I will keep you and your parents in my prayers. Melinda in Florida -
I came home from hospital on full liquids ( some people came home on clear liquids), I had: soup- not chunky, sf fudgesicles and Popsicles, propel Water, soy milk, crystal light, and protien shakes....make sure to get your protien shakes- most important:) shortly thereafter I started eggs, cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. Good luck!

Staying under total calories but right amount of protein
r6malbear posted a topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I am at 5 months out and I notice that I do not stay under the recommended 800 calories per day put keeping my Protein between 60 -80 grams. What do others eat throughout the day to stay where you need to be. I usually eat yogurt and a fruit for breakfast, tuna fish and salad for lunch, a snack in the afternoon of a Protein Bar and dinner is meat (fish, chicken, pork) and a veggie and a protein snack at night. I have been stalled for about 4 -5 weeks now and need help. And yes I do exercise 5 days a week walking for about 40 minutes at a fast pace. -
October 2013 Sleevers Roll call!
LawFeme replied to nik2nite's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi! I am one month out from surgery. Surgery date: 10/22/13 Highest weight: 272 Surgery weight: 252 Current weight: 242 1 month out Pre op diseases: Diabetes II, Gout, Hypertension, High Cholesterol and Sleep Apnea Post op meds: Down to 1/2 of all medication amounts and should be medication free in another month, except Gout! I have been struggling to get all my food in. I only seem to be able to get in 1oz of chicken or fish and then I feel like I have to throw up! On two occasions I got 2 oz of protien in but am getting really sick of protien drinks and yogurt. Eggs make me sick as well. Anyone have suggestions. I take all my vitamins and have been getting my protien by protien shots from Sunkist (27g) per shot. -
I add sugar free strawberry jam or half a pouch of sugar free hot cocoa to my Greek yogurt. Yummy Sent from my PC36100 using RNYTalk

Yogurt With 2X Protein
LosingItForMe2011 replied to mary2008's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My nutritionist said up to 14 grams of sugar or less and only 5-6 grams of fat per serving allowed. Sugar in yogurt and milk is different than table sugar as well. -
2 days postop... How did you feel?
JamieLogical replied to BrightEyes42's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You will feel normal again! I remember that was the question I asked myself most in those early days. I'm pretty sure I even posted it on here a few times. "Will I ever feel normal again!??!?!" But I eventually did and you will too! It's hard to believe right now, I know, but you really really will. As for the pureed stage, I never once ate any actual pureed food. I had my Protein shakes, yogurt, and recipes from this page: http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2007/08/pureed-foods.html The Baked Ricotta saved me! -
I loved my pureed stage... I actually still eat some of the same foods. Mashed potatoes with cheese and/or garlic and added unflavored Protein powder Plain Greek yogurt flavored with various protein powders Cottage cheese mixed with milk and Muscle Milk cake batter Protein Powder (tastes like cheesecake) Pureed split pea Soup Pureed bean soup Pureed chili Huevos rancheros without the tortilla Cream of wheat with chocolate or vanilla protein powder String cheese Deviled ham Hummus Guacamole squash with added unflavored protein powder Egg salad Pureed tuna fish with mayo and mustard And leftover from full liquids....unflavored protein powder added to cream of shrimp, cream of asparagus, tortilla soup base, strained miso soup, egg drop soup, lobster bisque, butternut squash soup, etc. and I STILL drink a big protein/fiber smoothie everyday.

Let's Play A Round Of: How I Get My Protein Post WLS!
FluffyChix replied to FluffyChix's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Yeah on the protein shake, that's what I found on my 2 hypothetical days too. I had to add in 10-25g of protein powder to hit it at the 1/4cup per meal stage. How much volume do you think you're eating total per meal? Is it about a 1/2 cup to a cup you think? Or does it depend on what the food is: ie 2-3oz dense protein v. 1/2c yogurt? TYTYTYTY for playing! It truly helps! -
