What are your go to "snacks"?
Clementine Sky replied to Deleted Profile's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Lately I've been loving Siggi's yogurt for an afternoon snack or as a dessert. http://siggisdairy.com The vanilla flavor is lower in carbs and also my favorite in regards to taste. If I've had a small lunch I'll have a more substantial afternoon snack, such as a smoothie made with a Greek or Bulgarian yogurt that is high in Protein (over 20 grams a cup) with some frozen fruit that is relatively low in carbs, such as raspberries. I also enjoy: - Crispbread (IKEA's multigrain crispbread only has 45 calories, 1 gram of fat, and 7 grams of carbs). By itself it's not very appealing but it's wonderful as a base for all sorts of toppings. I'll put half a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese on it, some mozzarella, Trader Joe's tahini, hummus, cucumbers with a tiny bit of cream cheese and some salt and pepper, or a scrambled egg. It's very versatile. - coffee either with Fairlife milk and some SF Torani syrup or with a chocolate Protein Drink - Dark chocolate caramel wedges from Trader Joe's. (They're great for when I need just a bite of something sweet. One piece has 30 calories and 3.5 carbs) - Kefir (always the plain kind that is lower in sugar) - Sour patch Kids popsicle (more of an after workout snack) - Clementine - A spoonful of Pic's Peanut Butter, or have it with apple wedges. It's more expensive than other brands, but it's also more delicious to me, and it's just got 1 carb per serving) - Marinated mozzarella balls from Trader Joe's - Chia pudding -
I am getting my balloon placed on Friday and I'm N-E-R-V-O-U-S. I've stocked my fridge with premier protein drinks, Isopure drinks, gatorade , jello and yogurt drinks. Even though I feel like I've prepared the best I can, I've got a few questions and would love any feedback. How long did you stay at the hospital after the placement? I'm thinking the sooner I can leave the hospital the more comfortable I can get at home. The nurse told me between her and the NP they will be calling me every day for the first week. Is this typical with everyone else? I'm really hoping I can drink fluids afterward and avoid getting dehydrated. How soon did everyone start drinking fluids? I'm confused about sipping on drinks versus normal drinking. My nurse told me that I should be able to drink normally once I get home. I've read that you should sip on drinks... I have the patch and zofran and really hoping to avoid nausea and vomiting so I can tolerate drinking. I can't believe I'm going in about 6 days after for a postop. How did everyone do with those first couple of postop visits? Could you drive yourself? Am I forgetting anything? Wish me luck!!!

What are your go to "snacks"?
Deleted Profile replied to Deleted Profile's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
That's a pretty awful snack. It's got practically no Protein and is mostly carbs and it gets you started back on the carb train towards crackers and other bad stuff you should not be eating and should be avoided. I eat cheese sticks, slices of deli meat with pickle slices, carbmaster yogurt (available at Kroger), cottage cheese, pork rinds, or small amounts of mixed nuts like walnuts and almonds with a couple of low cal cheese wedges (think laughing cow). Pork rinds are ok? I would think that would be bad? "In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take." -

refried Beans and cheese? Also have you tried eggs cooked in different ways? I still have issues with scrambled, for example, but I can easily eat sunny side up. I, too, despise yogurt of all kinds. ICK. refried beans and cheese? Also have you tried eggs cooked in different ways? I still have issues with scrambled, for example, but I can easily eat sunny side up.

"Snacking" on pre op diet
Lizardlady replied to Lizardlady's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I will be getting more protein in today with my Isopure which is supposed to be here today (ordered online) and also I plan on having some greek yogurt with my lunch. I am hoping that the increased protein will help me feel less hungry. I also plan to do a shake for breakfast and then for lunch I'll eat some soup and then for dinner another shake so that I feel like I ate something in the middle of the day and won't be so hungry at night..... I HOPE lol! -
It entirely depends on your program. Some surgeons emphasize a very low carb approach, others don't. Mine doesn't, she gives me a Protein minimum and a calorie range. My carbs these days come from dairy and veg, mostly dairy such as yogurt and cottage cheese. I don't have much room for veggies yet.

Syntrax Nectar Protein
jane13 replied to 2bsleeved26's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@adrinanna - I mix a scoop of my flavored protein (chocolate/vanilla/salted caramel) to about 1/2 cup of plain non fat greek yogurt and stir. Its my version of pudding -
I like the refried Beans with cheese melted on top a lot. I'll do that one too. I do eat the hummus just with a spoon. Love it. I also love the Dannon Light and Fit Greek Yogurt and I do eat those as well. The scoop of Protein powder mixed in is a great idea for upping protein! Thanks for that advice.

Here is the recipe for Ricotta Bake (may be the same one you have above - I cannot see it). Also some other good ideas. http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2007/08/pureed-foods.html I ate a lot of fat free refried Beans with cheese melted on top; hummus (yes just with a spoon); Pimento Cheese spread; Laughing Cow cheese wedges; sugar free pudding with 1/2 scoop Protein Powder mixed in; Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurt (Key Lime and strawberry Cheesecake are my favorites) with 1/2 scoop Protein powder mixed in....

@@Sherry, if it is the unflavored unjury (my favorite) you can mix with pretty much anything. Watch adding to hot liquids as it will clump Ex: coffee. Mix with a little warm Water then add to hotter liquid. chicken broth, tea, egg drop Soup, crystal light etc. I also do not like the taste of the Isopure, unflavored, that I have, so I am adding a 1/2 scoop of it to my LightNFit Greek yogurt to bump up the Protein (and hide the taste!).

"Snacking" on pre op diet
Lizardlady replied to Lizardlady's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I imagine it's going to be the same for me. The last time I was on a diet like this the first few days were the worst and I felt like I was starving but after that I kicked the carb craving because it was pretty easy from there. I am allowed greek yogurt and all the same stuff you are as well. My book says I'm allowed 97-98% fat free, low sodium: Healthy Valley, Amy's, Campbell's Healthy request, and Progresso but the problem is that most of those Soups have starch in them (which on day 10 I was supposed to eliminate starch) OR they are FULL of carbs (like the Campbell's Healthy Request Tomato soup I had last night) and I'm supposed to stay under 40g of carbs per day. So what exactly does that leave me with? I guess greek yogurt, jello, pudding, popsicles and protein drinks? Which is fine but they really should say something about those soups cuz I went and bought a bunch assuming I could have them and then I find out really, most are not doable at all or just 1 bowl will fill your carb intake for the entire day lol. I'll be ok but it's a lot to try and keep track of and I'm already irritated when I feel like I'm so hungry I could eat a horse. -
In that phase, I pretty much only had my premier Protein shake, Water, hot tea, sugar free popsicles and Soups. I had oatmeal, cream of wheat, s.f. puddings, mashed potatoes and gravy, yogurt smoothies with added protein powder. I really didn't want to eat and even today, I mostly just want soups. So, I make sure they are loaded with protein! Check out Bariatric Eating.com great ideas.

Poached egg week 1 post opp?
Brenda Sherwood replied to PissiChrissi's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Programs are quite different. Im supposed to do a week of clear liquid, then 2 weeks clear plus milk, pudding, yogurt. Then 2 to 4 weeks pureed only... so that puts me at like 2 months out Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App -
Baby food is disgusting. No need for it. Purée your own yummo food and/or eat soft food like yogurt and cottage cheese. Best first veggies to purée with some chicken broth is yellow squash or zucchini (don't forget a little salt and pepper). Yum yum.

Can the greek yogurt be flavored by yoplait or it has to be straight plain? Sent from my KFTT using the BariatricPal App I like the Danon Light and Fit Greek. -
Can you count the water in the protein shakes towards the water goal?
heidikat72 replied to bigmamaAfrica's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My NUT's recommendation is at least 64oz of liquid a day. Of which, she wants half to be water. The rest can come from skim milk, soy milk, light low fat yogurt, broth, sugar free popsicles and sugar free jello.Since there have been so many different responses, you should probably check with your nutritionist/surgeon's office for your plan's recommendations. -
Hi guys, I just had surgery on the 20th. I'm down 20th pounds in these 6 days. I'm REALLY struggling with getting fluids/protein/vitamins in. The chewable stuff they gave me... make want to gag from the chalky texture. I haven't been getting them down. I burp tree flavor all day once I take them. Today, im.jist really weak feeling. Last night my shower was a chore. My heart rate increases from it, to keep my hands up to wash my hair was very difficult. Today, very time I get up and around to do anything... including my walking, my pulse goes up to or over 100, from the normal I'm the 60s. Is anyone else experiencing this? I am considering using a spoon of Greek yogurt to crush my Vitamins in to swallow. I'm scared. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

April 6 surgeries
bananabellyaches replied to Lucilla's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I was sleeved April 4th & today is the first day I could have soft food. This morning tried 2 bites of cottage cheese & one bite of yogurt. Stomach made a lot of noises - but feel ok. First 2 weeks was Clear Liquids, 3rd week was liquids that run easily thru a strainer. I made homemade black bean Soup & put it thru the blender. Hands down best thing I've tried besides Campbell's soup on the go (not allowed tomato soup). Also, tried a frozen Greek yogurt bar last night & had no problems. Planning on trying a few bites of egg for lunch. Premier Protein chocolate shakes are the only ones I'm interested in now. Liked the strawberry & vanilla first 2 weeks, but now I'm sick of them. All other Protein Shakes just turn me off now. Shakes I used to drink regularly before surgery now are hard to get down. I do drink a whey "Nectar" drink in tropical flavor with my powdered bariatric Vitamins in it & it's ok for 24g of protein. I add spoonful of Isopure non- flavored protein to my soup & coffee (mix it w/bit Water first). G2 & Powerade zero taste delicious to me right now. So I drink quite a few ice cold drinks & my Fluid intake is very good. MyraLax is a must for me every day too. Painful spot next to my belly button that burns with a sharp pain! Drives me nuts cause I'm wanting to physically do so many things. Doc's office said its where they put extra stitch to prevent hernias. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Glad to hear it! I expected they'd tell you you were doing fine. For what it's worth, I don't count calories but I'm sure they're pretty high. I eat lots of meat, yogurt, guacamole, nuts, Jerky, and cheese. And veggies when I have room. My fat calories must be off the charts, but my weight has remained steady within a 3-4 pound range for a year now. No starches or sugar is my mantra. Good luck in maintenance, just keep on keeping on...

I'm stopped forcing protein drinks down. I tried protein water, works better for me. As far a food is concerned I try to eat my protein slowly. I stick to the basics, yogurt, apple sauce, green veggies. I still don't feel like eating most days. I recently found these protein lunchables that have turkey, cheese, and almonds. I eat those a lot, very satisfying and perfect portion.[emoji6]
