Need to do a Costco run - Whats on your Costco Shopping list?
trekker954 posted a topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
In preparation, I'm working on my "out of milk" app and want to see what everyone is buying at costco. I have a membership but never go myself, my husband uses it occasionally. I'd like to add, that lots of articles say our taste bud changes after surgery. I'm really hopeful because I'm Irish, grew up on meat and potatoes (and ice cream). I can eat light yogurt, but always hated the taste of Greek yogurt. I can eat shell fish, but never cared much for any other fish and salmon, only if its covered in a french sauce. So I'm hoping my taste buds change and I welcome Greek yogurt and fish. Thanks -
How do you balance adding all the food in?!
kmorri replied to Mjohnson4631's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am able to get all my Protein from real food, which is what my surgeon and my NUT want.....In order to do it here's a sample day's worth of food..... Breakfast - 1/2 flatbread = 4.5g protein scrambled egg = 6 g turkey sausage = 7g protein morning snack - Greek Yogurt = 12 g protein lunch - 2 oz Low sodium turkey breast = 13g protein 1/2 of flatbread = 4.5g protein 1/2/ serving of cheddar cheese = 4 g protein afternoon snack = 1oz dry roasted peanuts 7g protein dinner - 3 oz chicken breast = 18g protein 1/2 serving of cheddar cheese = 4g protein evening snack - 1 oz raw almonds = 6g protein So 86 grams of protein and 991 calories.......I didn't list the veggies but there is such a small amount it's not worth listing....for example at dinner I may have a bite of green Beans or summer squash... -
How do you balance adding all the food in?!
FrankyG replied to Mjohnson4631's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
In order to get Protein from real foods, you have to be more mindful of what you are actually eating. Did your doctor give you a list of what foods are acceptable to eat at each stage? Ask for one if not, and if they are not interested in providing, you can check through the hundreds of threads on here. In the early liquid stages, you're going to have to rely on the protein drinks/shakes, but going to mushies, you have things like yogurt, cheeses (cottage cheese and soft cheeses are the most discussed), eggs, refried Beans, canned tuna or chicken salad, baked fish (I make swai fish like three times a week - it is marvelous and cheap and I have fun changing up the spices), specially filtered, protein added milk like Mootopia or Fairlife (NOT the chocolate versions - that's added sugar that you don't need)... and you can always add Protein powder to most foods if you can tolerate eating it (I personally could not eat any protein powders - they made me sick just smelling them - even the unflavored versions). There are tons of foods that are healthy and would work, and lots and lots of ways to prepare them (recipes abound on here). And you should be eating often enough to get in your daily protein, Water and calorie requirements. If that means you eat 6 meals a day or 3 meals - that's what you shoot for. It doesn't matter what others do, you do what works best for your situation and what follows most closely with your doctor instructions. As far as your progress - 20 pounds down in 5 weeks is just fine. Don't compare your progress to anyone else. Your body will lose (and stall) at its own pace. Just keep on track with your water and protein/calorie goals and you'll be great. -
October 2015 Peeps......where U be ? What it is ?
steph_anie replied to Dub's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved on the 26th, starting weight 280, op day weight 222, goal weight 150, current weight 145. I'm a sous chef at a marina and I sweat all day long in an 80-90 degree kitchen, I am moving [all day long] in a two story building. I drink more than the minimum amount of Water needed (because I am sweating, I need to replace that). I put inventory up, (yes up a set of stairs, we call it "leg day"... we have 3 of them a week minimum) and this is just things off the top of my head as to what I do in a day's work. Oh and 12 hour days, 5-6 days a week sometimes 7 if someone calls out. I bring greek yogurt, Protein bars, I make sure to hit my protein count etc. I've cut my hair, gotten a new tattoo (already had a few), and have to make an effort to not shop for myself now that I'm in my dream size. I did everything the way my doctors program laid out for me and I reached the goal they set for me. I'm extremely happy with the decision to have this surgery and I am never looking back!!!!

First week & Second week
triplethreat replied to madisunshine1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My plan was different, I was only on clear liquids one day after surgery then went to full liquids for two weeks. I only had Protein shakes and Water. I'm in week 1 of soft foods which is a 2 week phase. I eat scrambled egg, cottage cheese, puréed foods, Greek yogurt, shredded soft cheese, Soup, etc. My team doesn't want me to worry about fat content or calories for the first two months-- just focus on liquids and protein.

i am two weeks out and not Allowed mushy foods until 6 weeks. I am not allowed rice at all. Mushy foods would be cottage cheese, Beans, yogurt but at one week that seems way to early. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Had anyone tried eating or drinking since surgery? I've only been able to keep down a couple bites of yogurt and 2 sips of Soup besides Water, which still pains me. I feel like I need calories, but am afraid to eat. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Mudgy6 All I can have for 3 weeks is liquids. How is the cottage cheese and yogurt feeling? Today I had a post op visit with my GP. My blood pressure before surgery has been consistently high for about a year now. Today it was 122/67! So cool to see signs that our bodies are getting healthier! Every day is getting better pain and energy-wise. Passing gas, but no movement yet. Have been taking about three walks a day to help move things along. Yay kgarrettsatx on the weight loss!!

7/26/16 VSG Surgery, Anyone else?
blueeyedgirlvsg replied to blueeyedgirlvsg's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can drink the pure Protein, I am up to an ounce every 15 minutes of that or lemon Water (which helps with the bloat).. I just want the soreness to go away so I can move better.. I haven't tried yogurt yet, just applesauce, about a teaspoon to get the Prevacid down.. but it hurts if I drink over an ounce, have you guys experienced that?

7/26/16 VSG Surgery, Anyone else?
Erb8 replied to blueeyedgirlvsg's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was! I'm sore and bloated for sure, but I'm feeling fine. Walking, drinking Water, having Popsicles, and even had yogurt today but in the 1 oz. cup they gave us from the hospital. I can't seem to drink even the smallest sip of pure Protein, but that's the goal I'm working towards for tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
My procedure was the 26th too. I came home Wednesday nite. The first nite home I didn't sleep at all. Last nite was better. My pain has decreased a lot. I do feel a little itchy around where my marks are. Still moving slow. Taking it one day at a time. I'm ready to go outside to walk but it's so dang hot. The dr told me not to go out in the heat. Walk around the house. What have you all been eating? I can do cottage cheese, but I do eat Greek yogurt with one splenda

How to quit sugar ?!?!?!?
reducer623 replied to Armygalbonnie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm in the same boat! Sweets are (were) my life! And anything that would turn into sugar in my body like bread, Pasta, etc... My advice. Take out all sweets that you maybe holding hostage & give them away to friends or family (if opened) and the others you can give them away on sites like Free Cycle or Craigslist. Tell yourself this... "I can look twice as good as those Kit Kats (or whatever it is) taste if I don't eat them." It takes 21 days to break a habit. Another thing that helped me was creating a shopping list before I went to the grocery store. I would ONLY purchase what I have on the paper. Eliminate the middle aisles... They are the DEVIL! Everything that you need are on the outskirts of the market. Notice veggies, fruits & meat are always on the far end & yogurts, almond milk etc are on the other end. Everything in middle is hogwash... Junk and poison for the body. Try to avoids those aisles as much as you can. Eat more fruit! I hope this helps! Best wishes!!

If you blend it anything is probably going to be tolerated. The sugar free ice cream still might have too many calories to be a good choice, I think it's something like 70 calories for 2g of Protein per service. A yogurt smoothie might work well for you. The tuna blend looks fine, keep an eye on the amount of mayo and relish you add since those are just extra calories. Ricotta cheese and cottage cheese are also really good for the pureed stage. There's a recipe floating around for a ricotta bake which is basically a lasagna without noodles that I mostly lived off of during the pureed stage.

Ladies I need your advice regarding 'Periods' (sorry gents)!
Kernowgirl posted a topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I'm on day 3 of the pre op liver reduction diet. My bypass is booked for 11th August. I've just started my period today. I can be on my period for anything up to 10-14 days and heavy. What will I do if I'm still on my period when it comes to the day of surgery? I'm scared that although I'm taking my multi Vitamin and mineral tablets that being on my period whilst only consuming yogurt my body won't cope and I'll become anaemic. Any advice ladies?

Late June Sleeve Buddies?
rebecca wills replied to Maggie143's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thought I hit a stall but it only lasted 4 days. I have noticed I can eat more now. So swelling has gone down. My goal from here is 60lbs. I've lost 25lbs since pre-surgical diet til now. At this point I'm feeling pretty confident that I can deal with the small plate at every dinner meal, and I'm never going to be a big Breakfast eater. Just not my thing. So shake in the morning suits me. Love my chocolate mixed with PB2. It's so good. And the Oykos Triple 3 Greek yogurt is the best and high in Protein and taste great. The only thing I struggle with is taking Vitamins. It's hard to get them down. Yucky Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

So I had a bad day...
MarieLouise replied to reddy4chng's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery was the 12th too. I'm still really struggling to meet my Fluid requirements. I sip all day long but still barely hit 32 oz. I am allowed on my plan to advance to oatmeal, mashed up potatoe etc, but I haven't tried anything but Greek yogurt. My stomach just isn't ready. It takes me two days to eat one single serving size yogurt. I'm sick from the sweetness of Protein shakes and couldn't force one down today. I plan to investigate more savory options tomorrow. I only had 11 grams of protein today, waaaayyy below my target. Today was the only day I did that badly. I think it sounds like our sleeves are healing at a similar rate and we just aren't ready to advance much. It will get better. It's only been two weeks. -
I had surgery 7/12, and just started on the puree stage yesterday. Greek Yogurt is on my list to eat, and I ate it for Breakfast frequently before surgery so I decided to give it a try. I got about 3-4 very small bites down (even waiting between) and realized I had made a HUGE mistake. My stomach started rumbling and rebelling. I just stopped there and after a little while continued on fluids. I didn't try to push it further. It settled down after about 30 minutes but was still a little uneasy. lunch time came around and I had some pureed chicken salad. I tried that and it didn't settle either. All day I had to push the Fluid down to get enough liquid. Each sip seemed like I was pushing it down. It was absolutely the worst I have felt since surgery. Tonight I managed some mushed up cottage cheese and it seemed to sit well and do okay but I'm just sore from the day's adventures. This is a very stressful time at work so I'm not sure if that might be what is going on, or if I'm just eating the wrong foods. Both foods were on the okay list. I really don't want to mess this up so I have been nervous all day long in fear I had done something wrong. That combined with the stress of work made for a very yucky day. I felt horrible and exhausted. I hope this will pass, but honestly today was the first day I have questioned "what the H** did I do?"

I add Protein powders to everything, including my morning eggs and my afternoon yogurt. I want it up to 100+g.

There are alot of foods you can try. Tuna, baked fish, salmon, cottage cheese, hummus, beans (add cheese), ricotta bake (recipe online), greek yogurt, home-made Protein Shakes (watch sugar), chicken salad..Experiment and see what works.

Soft food stage problem
triplethreat replied to triplethreat's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@JamieLogical what you describe is just what I feel so perhaps it is overeating. I'm trying to eat 2 ounces per meal, sometimes it's a struggle to finish. I have eaten puréed chicken, and I have eaten Greek yogurt, separately before together. Not sure if the combo mattered. If that is overeating then forgot about it, it's miserable.

Soft food stage problem
OutsideMatchInside replied to triplethreat's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When you start on soft foods. Eat one thing at time. Don't mix things. If you eat just chicken, you would know if your issue is chicken. If you eat just yogurt you would know it is yogurt. -
So far, everything is fine. I don't have a headache, and my stomach isn't hurting as bad as I expected. I am hungry and yes, I do have cravings, but they're manageable. Is this a good sign? Or do the hunger pangs usually come later; like on day 2 and 3? I'm trying to remain positive, but I'm still worried that maybe the hunger pangs will sneak up on me, lol. >_< I've heard many people say that day 1 and 2 are the worst, and that by day 5, the hunger usually completely goes away. This is what I've had so far: Breakfast - 1 Muscle Milk Protein shake (20g protein, 130 calories), 1 Light & Fit Yogurt (70 calories) lunch - 1 Muscle Milk Protein Shake, 1 Light & Fit Yogurt, 1 cup of Cream of chicken Soup (Diluted with Water and spit out the chicken, lol. ) dinner - I haven't had dinner yet, but I plan on drinking another Muscle Milk with a yogurt, and maybe some chicken broth. I may go to bed early so I can avoid the cravings, haha. Good thing I don't get burnt out on things in just a week. So, drinking Muscle Milk and yogurt will be pretty easy, especially since they taste amazing. I've love to hear your experiences. Thank goodness I only have to do this for 1 week. EDIT: I swallowed a few very tiny pieces of chicken when I was eating my cream of chicken soup. Is this ok? Next time I will strain the soup.

I'm in the soft food stage and notice that sometimes after I eat I feel sick, like I have flu or something. Today I ate some pureed chicken to which I added a bit of plain Greek yogurt. After I felt like I would throw up, felt really bad. It passes after about 30 minutes. Could it be what I'm eating? I'm eating slowly, small amounts. No liquids 20 minutes before or after.
