I have tried it and use it occasionally. The problem with adding it to things is the temperature. YOu cannot cook well with it because it clumps above 140 degree f. Adding to a drink would be kind of weird, but possible. I have added small amounts to yogurt, but no the full amount because it would dry it up pretty badly.

BarnGirlWK replied to Sandi in FL's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well, we are all on very different pre- and post-surgery diets. My surgery was Aug 24 (six days ago) and up until now I've been only on Clear Liquids, no protein: broth, Jello, popsicles, Water, ice. Today will be the first day that I introduce Protein back in. So, the next week will be full liquids only, but does include yogurt, pudding, cottage cheese, vegetable juice, soup, and Protein drinks. My tummy gurgles with new foods introduced. I'll need to take it slow. I'm feeling great, no pain, no gas, no nausea. -
5 weeks and cant stand anything.
Zane's Mom posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 5 weeks out and up till now everything has been super. In the last three days I have had stomach pain in the morning or when I guess my stomach is "empty". The pain is not too bad but I have had no pain before. I feel so blah on the daily regimen. I'm getting burned out on the Protein drinks, any food, and even Water. I feel so bloated. I don't want another yogurt, cottage cheese, Beans etc. I am walking 30 min a day. I tried to mix things up and do Isopure clear protein today and the aftertaste just made me gag My stomach started cramping so I ate a small amount of chicken. No issues before but today I threw up all of it. My routine is nothing different, work, house, kids. Does this happen to you???? Am I the only one who feels like I can't do the daily routine. I'm not hungry and not eating regular foods, just soft. Vitamins are all good. I'm sure it will pass, but I don't want to compromise my health because I can't handle this stuff now. Will I hurt myself if I just stay hydrated and skip some of the protein if just for a day or two ?? -
Yeah, my nutritionist told me never to eat carbs without protein. So always peanut butter or greek yogurt or something like that along with my fruits or whole grains. Of course, I'm still never really eating fruits or whole grains, so it hasn't been an issue for me yet.

December Surgery dates???
ChubRub replied to Kimmerz23's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello All! 10 days post op, and feeling better and better each day. Nausea and pain are minimal, and fatigue is improving. I could still go for a nap this afternoon though! When I go up the stairs, my legs feel so heavy, and I'm easily worn out. Guess I'm still somewhat weak from the surgery and lack of calories. Sent my husband to the supermarket to get some Triple Zero greek yogurt, as I need a little something new to break up the monotony of thick liquids! Looking forward to trying it! Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Been a little quiet in here, and I'm guessing many recent post-ops are still having some pain/nausea and are too fatigued to post. Hang in there, as it will get better soon!!! -
I just tried activa yogurt today and it is making a difference with those growls. It was too thick for me to eat out of the carton so I added some skim milk. It was the perfect consistency, tasted good and did what I wanted. Later I added 1/2 of one to my shake. I was looking for juice called GOOD BELLY ( I heard on another thread about this.) I couldn't find it here in my little country store. I'll look again in Walmart. But I think the activa has the same properties as it has settled my growling stomache. I went on my first outing today, to church. I thought I was going to die after putting on my panty hose! Please don't anyone try that- it hurts!:thumbdown: I got tired at church from standing too long. I sat down and was fine the rest of the service. It feels good to get out of the house even for an hour. Tomorrow I wall try to walk around the block. Thanks for recovering with me ladies! I appreciate all your insights and support.

October Surgery Roll Call
mememomma replied to Panda333's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i just had the sleeve October 9th. I was on a liquid diet 5 days before and then clear liquid two days before. This first week home I was on clear liquids again. At post op visit yesterday I have to be on liquids (no pudding, no yogurt no applesauce, no creamed soups, no yogurtetc) for yet another three weeks. Basically its protein shakes, bouillion, water and crystal light and sugar free popsicles. Stage three after will be the first real "food" for me (pureed) November 8.. I am amazed when I read all these patient who are eating soft food after week one and seem to do fine. That will be a total of SIX weeks on liquids...not easy. My Dr. seems to be in the minority on this issue, but I am following it to the letter. Good luck as you continue your journey. You are correct, we are all different how we heal and handle this! -

@@BarnGirlWK - Hey, join this group too - we were going to be just the 26'ers - but Im good with 23'ers and 24'ers too - basically same time line! @@taken_chances19 - hey Barngirl has surgery at Mi hospital on the 24th... so we will all three be there - you guys before me - so we will have to find each other - what is your real name? Me - Im doing ok with the liquid diet - my problem is 4-5:oopm - I have even tried moving my lunch to 1pm to see if that helps and it doesnt... so I end up having a yogurt snack at 430 just to keep me going till 6pm dinner. I have to be more careful with the shakes because Im very lactose intolerant - so Ive been using Pure Protein prepared drinks for breakfst or lunch and muscle milk with Water for the other meal. I have several sample packs of vegan shakes from the Vitamin Shoppe - but so far they are nasty. So Im saving them until after the surgery incase the nastiness is not so bad then! I just placed a $200 order with unjury for shakes, soup, and Vitamins for after the surgery. I plan to bring some of the individual chicken soup packs with me to Mexico because Ive heard that their chicken broth is not so good. I have had 3 personal friends go to Mi Hospital to have the sleeve surgery. So I have really listened to everything they have told me to bring and do. They all 3 sing the praises of that hospital and staff - so I feel comfortable with my decision. -
I am usually in the 90+ range. I eat three small meals per day, always Protein first but usually including something else such as green veggies or dried fruit. I do have one or two protein shakes per day. I also use Greek yogurt as a snack. Besides a little fresh fruit at the end of the day, the only Snacks I allow myself are protein shakes and Greek yogurt. It doesn't bother me because I am that weirdo who really likes protein shakes! I did a lot of experimenting with different brands to find my favorites (unjury, Jay Robb, Chike, Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard, Syntrax Matrix). I also do a lot of doctoring up protein shakes with different Torani syrups, sugar free pudding mixes, Sweetleaf Sweetdrops flavors, PB2, extracts, Crystal Light -- anything I can think of! So instead of having a plain vanilla or chocolate shake, I might have a white chocolate lemon ginger shake, a peanut brittle shake, or a chocolate chip cookie dough shake. This afternoon I'm going to try out a new shake recipe I cobbled together from a few different ones I found on the internet: --carb master milk + vanilla Protein Powder + mint extract + peppermint syrup + pistachio pudding mix + pinch xanthan gum + green food coloring = "Shamrock Shake" - protein style! ETA - drinking the Shamrock Shake now and I think next time I'll try it without the pistachio pudding. It's good but the mix of pistachio and mint is a little weird tbh.

December Surgery dates???

Finally ordered some isopure unflavored protein powder, it’ll be here tomorrow. Hope it truly has no taste because I just can’t with the protein shakes I’ve had thus far. Basically living off of those oikos triple zero Greek yogurts for my protein lol. I also got an order of the vitamin patches in the mail today, hopefully they work/I like them. My chewable vitamin is DISGUSTING lol -
What do you do to up your protein and calories?
mrsdaniel2013 replied to Jess55's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
They make a peanut butter flour that is called "defatted" - essentially the yummy Peanut-Ness without the calories/fat. I've had it mixed with Greek yogurt or to flavor smoothies. HW 420 SW 347 CW 334 Sleeved April 10, 2017 -
I can't drink any protein! Help
JamieLogical replied to Kristy Haugen Oliver's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Do you have this same problem with other full liquids like strained cream soups? What about yogurt? -
@ I was a total sugarholic before my bypass surgery. It is not the reason I chose bypass but I am very glad that I did. It solved many other comorbitities very quickly post op. For me, the first 6 months following surgery I could actually eat sugar but hated the taste of it so I abstained As much as possible. I am actually allergic to sugar substitutes, they give me severe migraines so I have to use real sugar, honey or agave as sweeteners. Because of this, the only thing I drink is Water. Thankfully I broke the soda/juice/caffeine habit almost 5 years ago. I am happy drinking water or fruit infused water every day. In the last few months I have been eating more sugar than I would like to in things like pudding and even once in a while I will have a tiny serving of frozen yogurt or ice cream. For me, even eating yogurt contains real sugar. I don't have dumping syndrome so I really have to be careful and watch it so I don't get myself into a sugar habit again.

Sooo hungry!
Jessiegurl2686 replied to Jessiegurl2686's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wonder why it needs to be plain yogurt ??? On my full liquids/soft foods for week two says we can have bannanas... And melons?? I would think strawberry would be ok? -
Sooo hungry!
LisaLoseAlotx2 replied to Jessiegurl2686's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My instructions said I can start eating creamy Soups on Day 4 So I made some cream of mushroom just to try. I whipped it in my Blendtec before heating it up to be sure there was NO bits of anything. Then I added almond milk. I had 1/2 cup over an hour and felt almost relieved. You could try taking one spoonful of greek yogurt and really swish it around in your mouth first. Congrats!! we were sleeved on the same day and I am down 12 lbs in five days. -
3 Days Post Op.....
Kate Erdosy replied to Deleted Profile's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 8 days out. No nausea, not much pain, no BM yet, first visit today. 6 lbs in 1 week - a bit disappointing, but 12 if I count preop. I'm not feeling much restriction at all when I drink. I may get a tiny bit of pressure, but that's it. I'm starting to wonder if I still have my stomach in there. I am allowed greek yogurt this week and oatmeal, but only 2 ounces. No problems eating those. Am I crazy? Did anyone else have such a smooth road the first week and after eating the first small amounts? I'm not ungrateful at all, but just beginning to wonder. -
OMG... I know I will have to start Puree diet at some point....YUK
Ryan TN replied to olydott's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
One thing you need to remember as well is to take time for your meal. I know what the pace is like in the ER, you won't be able to gobble your food down and get back to work. You have to take some time for yourself. It took me some time to get used to this, but when i eat, i take a bite, then put the fork down and chew. Each bite i do that. Its now a habit for me, it makes you slow down. My pureed stage, i had scrambled eggs, lots of yogurt(low carb, some have a lot of sugar), refried beans, which after 4 weeks of liquids was great, once i handled that ok, i had tuna fish, etc. Just because its called the pureed stage doesnt mean it has to be pureed. ohh, cottage cheese was on that list, but the only thing i like to do with cottage cheese is scrape it into the trash. Best of luck to you. -

Inner Surfer Girl replied to olydott's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I didn't have a purée stage. As far as I can tell there is nothing magic about purée other than its a way to get more flavor and nutrition in with a semi-liquid/soft texture. If you like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, refried Beans, tuna, Protein shakes, etc. then I don't see any reason to force yourself to eat something you don't like. -
How long were you on clear Liquids after surgery?
mythbuster1304 replied to WallyWall's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was on full liquids from day 1(Soup, greek yogurt, Protein shakes). I Start Purees tomorrow after 2 weeks on liquids. Every surgeon is different, but Clear Liquids for over a month doesn't sound very healthy to me. You have to get your protein in. -

7 weeks out: How many oz. are you eating?
JessicaAnn replied to Cheer Mama's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 3 weeks out and can eat 3oz of dense protein, and 4 oz of soft food like yogurt -
I had my band placed on Aug 26th and for the first week i had a difficult time as well that is why i drank only Clear liquids even my Protein Drink was clear from Isopure. I too had a lot of loose bm's I just took a Fiber supplement and that helped. If the yogurt makes you feel ok then do that to get your nurishment just make sure there are no chunks and that it is the drinkable kind...Dont give up things do get better!

Bananas are NOT a low carb food
Clementine Sky replied to OutsideMatchInside's topic in Food and Nutrition
I've actually used bananas as a replacement for Desserts I ate in the past (rarely ever Oreos, but occasionally), but have them sparingly. For me the biggest benefit is that bananas are more filling and satisfying, whereas I could graze on processed Snacks and not reach the point of being full. For those who do like bananas, this "ice cream" is surprisingly good and simple to make: http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-creamy-ice-cream-with-just-one-ingredient-cooking-lessons-from-the-kitchn-93414 During my active weight loss phase I had either Trader Joe's or Dole's chocolate covered bananas almost every night as my treat. If memory serves they have around 15 carbs per serving. It's not really low carb, but it's not outrageously high in carbs, either. It was just sweet enough to keep me from obsessively craving a brownie or some other indulgence that has thrice the carbs and calories. I think the list the OP provided of lower-carb fruits is definitely good to reference. I love, love, love carbs, and lower-carb fruit smoothies (made with high Protein Greek yogurt) have helped me to have a moderate amount so I'm happy with what I'm eating and happy with the number on the scale. Weight loss on a lower-carb but not strictly low carb diet has been much more sustainable for me. -
The nurse practitioner put me on Sucralfate the pill one because my insurance would not pay for the liquid. I take it three times a day I have to crush it and mix it with yogurt. I’m still struggling with eating because I don’t know what to eat. I’m thinking about going back to the liquid phrase. I go to the doctor next month for my 6 month follow up. Hopefully I can get some answers. Thank You for reaching out to me and welcoming me to the group.
