Stop when full, or push on to get required protein in - confused
ButterflySeoul replied to trekker954's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I just can not get in the required Protein amounts if I have only 3 meals a day. I have to spread out little mini-meals or Snacks through out the day, in order to get in what I really need. I am 7 months out and still have a protein shake for Breakfast every day (except on weekends).. at work I get two 15 minute breaks, plus my 1/2 hr lunch.. so I bring some type of protein snacks for those break times-- usually a P3, a small bag of pistachios or other nuts, a cheese stick wrapped in some type of lunch meat, a yogurt.. things like that. I see a lot of confusion on faces at work- where they see me shrinking but constantly see me eating little snacks lol. -

You should not be moving onto other food if you aren't getting Protein because protein first is the rule. Just as you add protein to you coffee, you can add it elsewhere too. Stir it into to sugar free pudding, yogurt, or drink Protein shakes. A sugar free, high Protein Drink or snack shouldn't conflict with your meal plan. Ask your nut. Make sure you are focusing on what you need to do and not what you can do. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App -
Stop when full, or push on to get required protein in - confused
trekker954 posted a topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Just when you think you've got this whole thing down; I'm stumped. I'm just 13 1/2 weeks post op and so far, this has been going well and I am losing well. Even went on a 4 day cruise on lost a pound. My instructions all along, or maybe I listened in the beginning was to stop when I felt full. I was very cautious of this as I never wanted to not have I ever gotten sick. I do use genepro in my morning coffee. But I try and make sure the remaining protein is from food. I've only recently been told I can add vegetables, but very sparingly. Mostly protein. As I progress to more dense protein, it often fills me quickly. I just noticed today, if I'm not even getting in 3 ounces before I feel full, I won't meet my protein goal. I can't just keep eating chicken and eggs. I'm not a fan of cottage cheese or yogurt. I'm also trying different cuts of beef, lamb and such. My NUT really said to eat only three meals a day. What is more important, stopping when full, or should I push through to eat that last ounce of protein. Or should I have four meals a day, or at least four times, I go for protein. -
Breakfast options?
ButterflySeoul replied to show1980's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 7 months out, and I still have a protein shake for breakfast every morning, except on the weekends.. but when I was in the soft stage and sick of protein shakes, I would have yogurt (dannon greek light & fit) with some protein powder added in ... or some cream of wheat- thinned w/ skim milk and a scoop of chocolate protein powder in it-- that was my favorite. -
Greek yogurt is a good choice (depending at which stage you're at).

Tomorrow is my day! I have to be there at 5 AM surgery at 7. I am prepping my food for the week. I will be on full liquids when I leave the hospital Tuesday. I have tomato Soup, black bean soup, Greek yogurt and Protein pudding and protein pudding pops. I also have grits and malto meal for Breakfast. I have a lot of sugar free titanic syrups to flavor the yogurt and maybe the malto meal. I'm ready to go! My journey has begun!!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm almost 5 months post-op, so this will look like a lot of volume to you: Breakfast is a cup of coffee with a scoop of Protein powder, for 20g +/-. Sometimes I also have a greek yogurt, but I'm not a breakfast lover and the protein in my coffee keeps me going until later in the day. A single-serve greek yogurt is 15g protein and if I don't have it for breakfast, I'll have it at lunch time. Mid-morning, I'll have a cheese stick (8g) or a couple of apple wedges with a tablespoon of Peanut Butter (4g). Mid-afternoon, an ounce of almonds (6g) or 1/2 cup cottage cheese with pureed no sugar added preserves (15g) dinner is usually two ounces of some kind of protein, like salmon (15g) and a couple of ounces of a vegetable. Before bed, if I need more protein for the day, I'll eat more almonds, or another cheese stick. Other things I eat regularly are Beans. 1/2 cup of refried beans with a T of grated cheese (6-7g) Lentils, 1/2 cup with sauteed onions (8-9g)

I just factor them into my daily calorie range. Like an above poster said, it's a daily t treat I allow myself. Although I usually just take one. For the rest of my doses, I mix Upcal D into my morning yogurt (9 calories) and drop or crush a couple of tablets into my Protein shake (0 calories)

Need help deciding if sleeve is for me
Butterflywarrior replied to Alexis99's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Some ppl with sleeve get dumping too but not as common I dobt seem to as of now...but interestingly, I sampled my mom s candy and sweet s and tgey taste super sweet and undesirable post surgery.. However I have a huge chocolate craving and finding chocolate yogurt to placate it but most are to Higg in sugar and fat. I had one, didn't get suck but saud, I didn't go through all this surgery for nothing... it's important I work in self control, will power and make the right decisions Bypass is much more likely to give you negative reinforcement then sleeve but it still comes down to working on psychological relationship with food, determination to self care and reward yourself once in a long while if it won't be a trigger to Willy Wonka's chocolate factory! I'm in purees hitting just at three weeks out and u still feel frequent hunger pangs despite protonix however I get full fast and dobt desire junk foods In time, I feel I will be able to eat anything though and so I'm working hard now in therapy and at home on changing my habits, relationship and self control I have a high BMI and was supposed to get bypass originally bc it's easier to shed tge weight but i have multiple complex medical issues so surgeon felt sleeve was safer and better with all the meds I need. Sleeve us safer too complications wise however you have to work harder on your own emotions, will power etc..you can definitely eat around the sleeve as tgey call it and many cab eat anything wo internal consequences eventually -
Yes, losing weight is certainly not a one size fits all. I've discovered it's a never ending process of finding what works for ME. With my restriction it was very difficult to get enough protein from solid foods and still leave room for the other food groups in the beginning. I've always gotten close to 80g protein, but I did It with a lot of protein shakes for the first year or so. And while I still eat a lot of dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt) animal protein has been my main source of protein for the last 4+ years. The satiety that dense protein provides and the restriction my sleeve has when I eat it has been crucial for me throughout maintenance Good luck finding the formula that works for you. And don't be afraid to experiment and change things up from time to time If you need to.

I think a lot if the artificial sweeteners make some of us, like me for sure...sick and splenda definitely leaved a bad taste in my mouth I can't get rid of I use natural stevia , experimented to find one I like lol and that helped if I really wanted something sweetened. I use g6 sports vanilla Protein powder sweetened with stevia. It's super clean, dissolved easily and, to me, tastes great. I put it in skim milk and sometimes add some fage Greek yogurt for more protein. The powder has 25grams if protein but it's a bit more expensive then most protein powders however if you have a GNC near, they give you a free membership and significant discount. Getting out . most artificial sweeteners brought my mouth, gut and stomach back to peace and I like my food...

Had gastric bypass Nov 7th 2016
daya replied to Mommyof4boys's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Nadinexx, is hard not to think about all the crappy food when all day every day you are surrounded by it. You just have to have the will power and tell yourself that this new lifestyle we have chosen is the best thing for us so we can be around for a long time. Speaking about chocolate if you really like it and don't want to feel awful about eating it buy the sugar free Chocolate pudding they are good and it also help you with your Protein intake, si is a not guilt pleasure. The Greek yogurt Damon Okios light or zero (I like the zero and all ways add a scoop of gene pro best thing ever it help your protein intake) not sure if you have the brand is also good. Don't worry you are not going crazy it's only been a few days since I have my surgery so am still in the full liquid diet. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Premiere shakes are NOT your best choice for this early out. I do NOT do milk based shakes either... Get some Syntrax or unjury if possible- like the chicken broth and DEFINITELY get some UNFLAVORED whey Protein powder. You can add it to anything- yogurt, crystal light drinks- sky is the limit.... But you want and NEED a good 100% PURE whey protein ISOLATE powder. It is your best bet for success. Those "protein blend" drinks are suspect. You don't know what percentage of what kind of protein you are actually getting. I WISH they would stop recommending Premiere to people!!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Carbs..
highfunctioningfatman replied to vannababyy22's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
20-40 grams per day if I'm on the high side it is because of yogurt. -
I'm having reversal from band to RNY on 22nd Nov. I start the milk diet on Monday and am allowed 3 pints of milk and 2 yogurts daily. The problem is that I hate (with a vengeance) yogurt. Do you think it would be ok to have a non dairy no sugar coconut yogurt (made from coconut milk) instead? I'm beginning to feel nervous too. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Gaining Weight after one year post sleeve! PLEASE HELP!
Butterflywarrior replied to addygirl's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Im just about three weeks out and was always hungry and on a PPI. Weight not moving either direction probably bc I walk so much. Still fighting some psych eating issues for sure But I talked to Nut again and her advice was to watch calories closer. I thought I was doing a good thing with having my 25 gram Protein powder with 9 gram of protein fat free milk and 8oz of fage yogurt for another 23 oz of protein for breakfast!; And yes I could drink it all! But she said to much protein at once for the body to handle and a lot of calories si split it or subtract a ingredient She also put me on five meals a day ..small meals every 2.5-3 hours and said I could add in. Little slow burning carbs or light carbs like Melba toast or wasa crackers, brown rice, quinoa etc This has made a huge difference in hunger and I'm quickly satisfied. I still think I can eat more then four bites but still get full fast My big issue is emotionally eating at night when I can't sleep .. that's something I need help with so plan to talk to my therapist about it. Getting in enough fluids is also hard ..before surgery, I drank Water like a camel.... I walk at tge mall or a store for distraction and flat surface. I walk almost a hour most days. I did strain a stomach muscle so docs said gentle walking..ice gotten alot of energy sense surgery so trying to expend it. Anyways, I think the stomach can stretch a little but not a lot unless your making super bad choices. Also carbonation and drinking with a straw as well as chewing gum cab put unwanted air, pressure in the stomach..I accidentally drank with a straw tge other day and it was bad..my tummy was distended into the following day. I could be wrong, but this accidental experience makes me believe my surgeon saying the sleeve can stretch My five or ten cents... -
Try not to get discouraged, everyone loses weight differently. I am 5 1/2 months out from surgery and I usually eat around 600-750 calories a day and get between 50-80 grams of Protein. I track everything on my fitness pal and I definitely weigh and measure everything. If I'm going out to eat I will even bring my food scale with me. Everyone has different diets they are recommended by their surgeons and what they choose is the best option for them. I've found if I eat foods I like just in small portions I lose weight just fine. I get a lot of lower fat recipes from www.skinytaste.com www.emilybites.com and the weight watcher 5 ingredient magazine (the current weight watcher regular magazine has a great section on Thanksgiving and gives a bunch of interesting lower fat/calorie recipes to try) Be careful while looking at these recipes though and pay attention to serving size vs calories. Here are some sample days of meals I've had the last few days: Day 1 Breakfast-chobani simply 100 lemon meringue crisp Lunch-Fage 2% Greek yogurt with peach Afternoon snack: 11 oz Premier Protein vanilla drink Dinner: 1/2c Dina's tossed mushrooms from Skinny taste website with 2 oz chicken breast baked with some fat free Italian dressing Total calories: 537 Protein: 68 Day 2 Breakfast: chobani simply 100 blueberry cookie crumble Lunch: 2 oz thin sliced boars head buffalo chicken 3/4 oz white American cheese 1/2 a slice potato bread 1 oz pickle spear Snack: siggis raspberry yogurt Dinner: 1/2 delicata squash stuffed with chicken sausage and mushroom (from skinnytaste.com) After dinner snack: 1 square dark chocolate with spicy caramel Calories: 720 Protein: 62 Day 3 Breakfast: Siggis raspberry yogurt Lunch: 1 package heated up chicken Soup dumplings from Trader Joe's Snack: 11 oz premier protein vanilla Dinner: 1/2 cup chicken in red coconut curry with 1/4 cup jasmine rice Calories: 732 Protein: 74 I don't really exercise at all right now. I'm looking to get started but am still healing a bit from my gallbladder removal surgery and before that I was sick for months and never really got into a routine. I am planning on going to the gym more as I heal more. HW: 540 SW: 480 CW: 352 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Describe your meals and exercise please
highfunctioningfatman replied to MommyB's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Breakfast was 2 eggs with peppercrack cheese and green enchilada sauce. Lunch was 4 oz of shrimp with lemon juice and old bay seasoning and a slice of havarti cheese. Essentially a shrimp melt without the bread. I had 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and 1 tbsp so sugar free strawberry jam around 4. Dinner was an odd mix of pulled pork with homemade refried beans that had Greek yogurt as sour cream. I also had 90 oz of Powerade Zero mixed 50/50 with water and 24 oz of propel water. -
I am not as low weight as you guys but I knew I would lose slowly. I had surgery on Halloween. I think I had Soup twice, how do you have room for soup? I sip Water all day long and my surgeon has fussed at me for not getting the Protein in. Two shakes a day, water, and maybe a few bites of Jello or yogurt is all my sleeve has room for. Get your water and your protein in, all other eating for the first 5 or 6 weeks is for "fun" according to my surgeon.

I thought this thread was about the movie as well. Hehehehehe I am 12 days post op. I struggle to get my Protein shakes, Water, and a few bites of yogurt or Jello in each day. If I consume too much too quickly I feel ill immediately. Sure, a grilled cheese sandwich sounds delicious right now but I can't even imagine forcing down one swallow. My surgery went fine. I am feeling great. I just wonder how in the world someone would feel well enough 4 days post op to choke down half a sandwich?? I visited 2 surgeons before deciding which one to use. Both said the only time they have EVER had a person get a leak was when they ate something they weren't supposed to eat. One guy ate BBQ a week out. A leak can kill you, are at least land you in the hospital for weeks. I have to wonder if people just don't understand what the surgery entailed inside their body? I just imagine the line of staples in my stomach and food oozing out between them and free floating food in my body cavity and that is enough for me to not even consider it. Seriously, it takes me like an hour or more to get a Protein shake down. A half sandwich? I can't even............

How many Protein grams are you getting daily? Are you adding protein to your soups? You can eat ricotta cheese, mashed cottage cheese, yogurt, refried Beans...you can add unflavored protein to all of those. I haven't even looked at calories, but I started above your weight and have lost 68 lbs eating at least 80g protein daily, lots of Water and walking at least 30 mins 5 days/week. I'm 40-ish pounds from goal and although my weigh loss is slowing a bit, it's still coming off. Good luck, I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to not get the rapid weight loss most of us do.

Gaining Weight after one year post sleeve! PLEASE HELP!
TheCurvyJones replied to addygirl's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
The sleeve CAN stretch. My surgeon has done re-sleeves on patients whose stomachs have stretched. However it takes a concerted, long running effort. You have to really try really hard-- as in consistently abuse your sleeve-- in order for this to happen. What likely has happened is that the part of the stomach that is removed that produces Ghrelin-- not enough of it was removed so your hunger signals have come back. This is something you will want to have checked just to make sure. Don't guess. If you feel like you can eat a ton without feeling any restriction (and by that I mean dense Protein, not slider foods. Can you eat an 8oz yogurt or drink a 12 oz Protein shake with no problem? Can you pack in an entire piece of fish, eat a whole burger patty? Then your sleeve may have stretched) What a lot of people think is "I can eat a whole bag of doritos now, so my stomach is stretched!" Nope. Doritos turn to mush once you chew them up. Slides right out of your stomach, doesn't provide you with any satiety or sustenance and in a short amount of time you're foraging for food again. Secondly, excess acid production feels a lot like hunger. It's not always that burning feeling. Not to pander or placate but make sure it is not excess acid, either. If you're not on a PPI or have stopped taking it, get back on it. Lastly, nothing can help you but getting back on track. Kick it back to basics- protein, produce, lots of Water, move your tush. Give yourself some time to get your act together. You should see those lbs slowly start to come off. Regain is a natural part of the weight loss journey. DOn't let yourself feel down or depressed about it. Get mad and get that weight back off. You'll feel better once you're working at a new goal.
