If you're hitting your doctor's targets for Protein and calories, then continue to eat the snacks/shakes as long as it is working for you. It's not an issue how often you eat as long as you're getting what you need - 3 meals or 6 little ones - it's all good. I loved Kroger's carbmaster line of yogurts both as a meal and snack. I think they are 60 calories, 9 grams of protein and 4 carbs and they had lots of flavors. I have Mootopia milk but it's only available from HEB grocery stores in Texas I think, but Fairlife milk is pretty much the same thing. They reduce the sugar/lactose/carbs and increase the protein and it tastes great. This is great when you need a quick snack. As far as things to eat in the soft food stage, I loved refried Beans with a bit of greek yogurt (plain tastes like sour cream but has more protein) or a little shredded cheese. Cottage cheese, soft baked fish (I baked it with lemon/butter and some spices), tuna fish with a bit of mayo also were my go-to meals.

Pound of Cure: My personal experience
AshMarie794 replied to AshMarie794's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I must say I have not had any artificial protein in weeks. I get all my protein from natural healthy food. I have totally switched to natural organic (when I can) wholesome foods. Nothing artificial or packages or processed. The way I feel is amazing. I have not had one dumping episode and really don't see myself having one. I have been able to stay strong and frankly just want any of that junk. If you know exactly what your eating, and I mean you know what it is an how it was prepared. No processed packaged JUNK I would think you would be fine. I do even eats fruits in raw form and smoothies and do not have any issues. I LOVE spinach, frozen strawberries, frozen blueberries, shredded coconut (that I keep in the freezer) and a smidge of plain yogurt. A lot of the time I leave the yogurt out. Don't be afraid to play around just eat what your body is telling you it wants. (unless its screaming Mcdonald's LOL) -
I was sleeved 8/6/12. It's my 3 month anniversary and I am down 33 lbs. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I saw the doctor yesterday and he said I should have lost more, but maybe my metabolism is slow. I can eat about 3/4-1 c at a sitting. After I eat I am stuffed, but only for about 30-40 mins. I eat about 4x a day. I am getting Protein, I exercise 3x a week, I should drink more Water, but other than that, I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have had stalls that last 2 and 3 weeks. The majority of my loss was in the first month and a half. A typical day of eating is: Greek yogurt, 1/2 banana,protein bar and about 20 oz water, all before 1:00 pm. 1/2 sandwich and a small dinner, maybe 20 more oz water. I am so happy I had the surgery, but I want to feel excited and I want to see great results for this amount of effort.

What Am I Doing Wrong?
Jennabelle replied to pebbles99's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I too had a very long stall(or a very slow second month). I was sleeved aug 27. My highest weight was 256. My surgery date I was 236. And 2 months out I was 211. 45pounds. Today I am 206. And at the 50 pound milestone. The second month I was sooo discouraged. Because most of that 45 pounds was lost in the first 2 weeks. I talked to some fellow sleevers and discovered that my protein and water intake was way too low. You need a minimum of 60g of protein a day but 70 or more is better! And should also be drinking 60oz of water a day. The other tip I have is keep your carbs under 40(under 30 is better). I agree with everything lollyfiddy1965 says. Because my weightloss was slower then I liked I also began working out. I am on the elliptical 5x a week for 20-30mins. I do some weights 3x a week. And I play rec volleyball for an hour every Tuesday. And I curl every Friday for 2 hours. I eat a lot of Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, chicken and fish. My typical day is also very similar to lollyfiddy1965. I expect my third month to be spectacular as long as I keep following the guidelines. There are still many days where I struggle to meet the requirements. Max 800 calories, max 40g of carbs. Minimum of 60 protein(aim higher) And min 60 oz of water. Keep track of your intake. I use myfitnesspal...a wonderful tool. Hope our tips help you thru this difficult time! And try to remember that it's 35 pounds you'll never gain back! And stay positive it will come!!! I spent my second month in tears(which I'm told is normal) but I've had a much more positive outlook the last 10 days. -
Definitely getting at least 64oz water daily. At least 60g protein too. I got sick of protein shakes, So I add a scoop of genepro to my morning yogurt, I buy the Chobani Flips, they're soo good!! Lunch is usually some type protein, sometimes as simple as cottage cheese with fruit, or chili. I sometimes buy a grilled chicken wrap from Wendy's and just scrape out the insides and eat it without the tortilla. I also use Pure Protein, protein bars. Higher protein and low sugar. I usually eat 3-4 times daily, sometimes a snack of cashews.

July 9-21 Surgery Buddies?
MontanaMel replied to checkmeowt's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
You eating puree food?? I had mine July 7th. I'm on Jello and chicken broth and I never get full. I'm starving:( I'm still on liquids, but get to have cottage cheese and yogurt. I don't feel hungry, and only a couple of small bites make me feel like I ate too much, but I'm getting used to it. Next week I get to start the puree food, looking forward to that. I did read that if you feel hungry, you might be dehydrated and need to drink more liquids, hope that helps. I must really suck to go through this and still feel hungry :-( -

Today i found out that i streched my pouch
rainbows replied to LadiWobs's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on Dec 26 by Dr. Nain and Dr. Dockins. This was my experience. 1, I had ice chips until day 2, wasnt allowed to have anything else 2 On day 2 I could have CLEAR liquids. When I went home I was allowed full liquids, like she said. 3in another post she stated that she eats this in a day : I realize I haven't loss be ause I am on mushy/soft but I have been eating mushy/ whatever I am want. "Breakfast I am ok I usual eat a instant oatmeal mixed with Greek yogurt With 2 protein I between . Lunch is the same chicken sAlad or something like it. But dinner or the problem I can eat shrimp or hamburger with pepper gravy and broccoli or chicken breast. So my question is what are some things you eat for dinner I need more choices. Also I get hungry in the middle of the day what do you eat for snacks? Ps my doc said NO rice pasta or bread, or strawberries grapes oranges or apples I don't get sick when I eat I is the 45/45/45 rule instead of 30. Any suggestions" But then says she lives with someone who will tell her if she is eating wrong! " Gravy" Isnt a good food. We got a binder with the foods we should eat and Im pretty sure Gravy isnt on that list. 4. Doctors cut her open and she had absolutely no pain? Please!!! 5. On your first visit back to talk to the nut and the NP they show you a pic of "old" Stomach sitting next to your "new" stomach inside of you still. This is Dr. Nains trademark the nurse told me. She should know that she had it done because of that. 6. In my post op paperwork it told me that if I started gaining weight like that I need to call right away because something would be wrong. She has already been back to the drs office before this visit where they would have looked at what is going on! If you ask me it sounds like a catfish/troll who's roommate got a surgery and thinks she knows enough to come here and make everyone start fighting. I am sorry if I seem rude to anyone , but this is my Dr. and I wont have someone smearing his name just to get attention. 7. "SO FEEL FRRE TO KISS MY ASS. i HATE THAT i CAME HERE FOR ADVICE BUT NOW i GETTING BEATING UP LIKE I AM LYING. I DONT NEED ATTENTION. I HAVE THAT AT HOME." From who your roommate? 8.I dont know if all docs put the pain pumps in the same spot , but hers looks waaay lower than mine was on her pic. This could be for any reason I am sure but same dr same placement I would think! -

Types of yogurt for full liquid phase
agirlnamedfrankie posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Today I graduate to the full-liquids phase, woohoo! My info packet says that for the full liquids phase (2 weeks for me): Is a milk based diet which includes foods that are liquid or semiliquid and high in Protein, like cream Soups made with non fat milk, yogurt, fruit shakes with non fat milk. I'm starting to look at some yogurts and see that the Fage and Chobani plain have 7g sugar/carbs and anything with flavor has 14-15g of carbs and Dannon Light & Fit has 7-9g of sugar/carbs (but with flavors!). Although there are no guidelines listed in my packet, I'm assuming that I should be keeping low on the sugar here, right? Plain greek yogurt is pretty brutal for me, although I know I can get some of the flavored syrups and use that but the Dannon sounds okay. What types of yogurt did you eat early on? How much sugar was okay and did you have any reactions? -

OMG October 2013 Post-ops
DevilBlueDress replied to DevilBlueDress's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Yes, I add it to the squash purée and other things that don't already have protein in it. I add it after I heat it up. I have one scoop of unflavored protein that I sprinkle into foods all day long. Others like the potato/leek Soup, I added plain Greek yogurt for creaminess and protein. I put Benefiber in my shakes and take 2 colace pills a day, so I don't get constipated. Mine are loose, but I'd rather have it that way than strain from constipation. Molly 10/2 -
On Soft Foods - Starting to Stray - Any Advice??
Melissa.GreenHands replied to Melissa.GreenHands's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Betsy - Thank you for taking the time to reply to my post (as this was my first ever.) I am totally a bundle of contradictions right now and really needed to hear the "tough love" of get a grip and deal so thank you!!! What I have been eating is this: B - 1/2c yogurt and 1/4 soft fruit coffee mid morning (no sugar no cream) L- 1/2 c tuna with ff mayo and 1/4c soft fruit mid afternoon milk with sugar free carnation **4-6 is the time when i have been really struggling and reaching for a snack it has been a few bites of lunch meat and a v8 juice - another day is was a 1x1 inch piece of brownie - another day it was a laughing cow low fat cheese wedge) Dinner - (typicaly late as I get home arround 7) has been fish - 2oz. baked or grilled and 1/4 - 1/3 c. fruit or steamed veggies. **evening Milk 8:30 - 9 I also have been drinking about 5 bottles of h2o daily. Today was my weigh in day and I have not lost a pound since Saturday - which I know will happen but it seems crazy - I feel like I am eating so little and I am walking two times a day - still not losing still hungry :cool: As for the cause of my "cheating" I work as a nanny and have for 14 years - I have 2 type 1 diabetic kids and unfortunatly and arround food and "bad for you sancks" all day!! I am trying to chew more gum and stay away - but at that hungry time of day I am slipping!! -
On Soft Foods - Starting to Stray - Any Advice??
Melissa.GreenHands replied to Melissa.GreenHands's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you for ALL the advice!!! Today was a MUCH better - I have been on soft food since Sunday as per my meal plan from my doc. Foods on my acceptable list are : eggs, chicken, baked fish, crab, melon, pear, banana, yogurt, steamed veggies. (I had to be on pureed foods for 3 days before that and "full" liquid for 3 before that - and clear liquid for three before that. I have been VERY blessed to have very few complications and only felt that I have had "too much" restriction once when I didnt chew well enough before I swollowed. I was feeling hungry because I have reactive hypoglicemia because of my p.c.o.s. -but today I took Betsy's advice - and toughened up!!! I moved my meal times back later in the day and stuck with a skim milk with sugar free carnation this afternoon and NO cheating!!! Yeah!!! One good day down and many more to come. (My morning weigh in was a huge wake up call - only lost 3 ounces since Sunday!!) THANK YOU SOOO much to my new lap band friends - this has been a HUGE help and encouragement and look forwaed to many more pounds lost together!!!:thumbup: -
For those who have lost BIG time . . .
allielee replied to christasha's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hey there.. I guess I am a fast loser since it hasn't been 8 months and I have lost 107 pounds. I follow these rules very strictly: I have been extremely aggresive with my fills I chew chew chew I eat slowlllyyyyyyyyy I cut my portions in tiny pieces I eat Protein first then a veggie I eat off of a salad plate If I start to feel stuck I stop eating immediately and am done. I always eat under 3 cups total food a day If I need a snack i stick to 100 calorie Snacks Love the m&m I drink as much Water as possible between 32-70 ounces daily I stay away from carbs (I just don't have room and am to tight for cereal or breads) My foods usually are: b: 1/2 6oz yoplait thick and creamy yogurt l: small piece of meat and a little veggie d: small piece of meat and a little veggie s: 100 calorie snack I am never starving. I never have tummy grumbling which makes me not focus on food. I now eat to live not live to eat. I stop when I start to feel full. I don't pb anymore ever! I listen to my body I don't diet, I eat what I want including fats and sweets I just eat a tiny bit because I am full from being at my sweet spot! I am not a big excercizer, I figured if I was losing why excercize lol. I know if I started really excercizing I would have been at goal already.. I hope this helps! -

Sometimes a handful of peanuts Dinner: 3-4 oz chicken 5 days a wk , beef 1 day a wk or pork 1 day a wk. side of green vegetable with every meal. Never eat after dinner, if my family is eating dessert I will have a sugar free ice pop. I keep myself busy at night, my house is always spotless now lol, I've also taken up gardening, or I will go for a walk. I only watch tv for about an hour if that at night before I go to bed. I used to late night snack watching tv prior to surgery so now I stay away from it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Hey there, fellow Massachusetts person! Here are a few options that might work for you for protein: If you like soups such as creamy tomato, butternut bisque, etc., add a scoop or two (10-20g protein) of unflavored protein powder such as Isopure or Syntrax to the soup. Also, if you make a canned soup like cream of chicken, make it with Fairlife skim milk for even more protein. 1/2 a cup cream of chicken with 1 scoop of protein would give you about 17g protein. If you are at a stage where you can have apples, make a great protein dip by taking 1 cup Greek yogurt and adding one serving chocolate protein powder and 1 scoop powdered peanut butter and eat 1/2 cup with 1/2 an apple. This gives you around 25g protein depending what brands you are using and tastes delicious. A great source of plant-based protein is edamame, which they sell already shelled and lightly salted, ready to eat, in the produce section of Hannaford (and probably other stores, I would assume). Also, four of the cracker-sized slices of Cabot cheddar have 8g protein, and if you pair it with Triscuit thins, that's another 3g for a nice 10g snack (when you can have crackers).

I wasn't on liquids or mushies on day ten either. I was on soft proteins, though. That is what my doctor advises. So I could eat eggs, chicken, turkey, cottage cheese, refried beans and low fat/low sugar yogurt. I would be really careful about what you are eating because your band sight is healing and you need it to heal really well because you are going to need it for a long time and don't want to mess anything up. For me, restriction varies from day to day and also at different times of the same day. But please be really careful! Try to eat only soft foods. And try to concentrate on protein.

question on protein shakes
Jodi_620 replied to Ellen86's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am required to do the liquid Protein I can have the EAS shakes or Adkins. Other things that I can have are. Protein powder mixed with water or hood milk (they recommend unjury or any brand containing whey protein) chicken or Beef broth (1 cup) sugar free Jello (1/2 cup) Crystal Light Carb control yogurt smoothies (no more than on per day) They also recommended Citrocel because the Fiber makes you feel full but I just don't like that stuff... Have something every 2-3 hours as needed to control hunger. -
Gastric Sleeve after 50 (Senior Sleevers)
darcyjae replied to Lainie-lou's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
On the liquid diet? My weight center (MGH) allows broth, 1% or skim milk, tomato soup (no chunks), and low/no sugar high protein greek yogurts. And of course clear liquid options like sf popsicles and jello. But from what I see, diets tend to vary, so definitely refer to what your doctor gave you! -

How do you measure your food?
Mrs.RRn replied to LynRN's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Would you say that you weigh all solids (meat, veggies, cheese,etc). And measure semi solids and edible liquids? And how much do you eat at one meal? I eat 2-3 oz of solid food at a meal. I weigh out my meat (example: chicken) and don't usually weight or measure my veggies bc I can usually only eat about a couple tsp-tbsp of veggies. If it's a semi-solid or thicker liquid, I eat about 3-4 Fluid ounces (like chili, Soup, yogurt) -
Any suggestions for an ice cream substitute?
Miss Mac replied to NittanyLion's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I get the sugar free creamsicles, fudgesicles, or fruitsicles from Aldis or Krogers....ususally 15-35 calories. When I need something creamier, I go for Greek Yogurt with a little vanilla and sweetener. Also, 1/2 banana frozen on a popsicle stick or put through the processsor with a little yogurt hits the spot.
