I got a strainer to strain out the pieces in soups. Since everything tastes so nasty I was very happy that the yogurt wasn't too nasty like jello, Popsicles and sf drink mixers are.

April 2014 pre-op group
JessM11 replied to KristinaRnY's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Welcome!!! Congrats on your loss first of all, sounds like you are doing AMAZING!! I'm not a big fan of milk so I had a hard time with my protein in the liquid phases. I substituted with almond milk which is more expensive, but it lasts longer, has less fat and a lot more calcium. I haven't started my pureed diet yet, I will be able to tomorrow if my doctor clears me at my post op visit. I am not a fan of cottage cheese or ricotta (unless I'm making lasagna...lol) so my Nut told me to eat low fat Greek yogurt, pudding, grits, cream of wheat, scrambled eggs (or substitute), refried beans, applesauce (which I don't eat but when I was at the grocery store I found they have several flavors, so I got strawberry), pureed veggie soup, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes. Ask your NUT and try something like that. I know what you mean about being able to "eat normal". I have been depressed as well because I am pretty social and go to dinner with friends often which I haven't much later because of my diet. Also I have to cook my daughter dinner every night and I can't eat it so she has started not eating because I'm not eating the same things with her. There is some really good support on this thread, stick around we are all here for each other :) -
Ex Lax, Miralax, Beneful, Metamucil, Senesomething, Activia, or what?

Exactly...other things are whole grains, chia seeds, and hemp seeds. Besides adding Fiber supplements to my Protein shakes, once I was close to goal I added a lot more whole grains and fruit to my diet. And I switched my Protein Bars to whole grain bars and my stools have gotten a lot better. A really good Cereal I found is Kashi Go Lean (the one that has "fiber twigs, soy protein Graham's and honey puffs). It's got 13g protein and 10g insoluble fiber. Win-win. I mix it in plain Greek yogurt or regular milk for even more protein. -
FEBRUARY SLEEVERS 2013....how you doing after you've been Sleeved
banditchic replied to DivaNurse's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
How far out are you on your surgery, and what are you eating? I am 3 weeks out, and eating refried beans topped with finely chopped chicken, melted cheese, and sour cream. I also eat eggs, chicken salad (chicken & ff mayo), mashed potatoes, and of course, protein drinks and yogurt. I have to admit that I did scrape the toppings off a pepperoni pizza and ate that too the other night. I haven't had any complications or issues. -
FEBRUARY SLEEVERS 2013....how you doing after you've been Sleeved
firelle replied to DivaNurse's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
First day back to work today. I haven't been up this early in awhile! And I can't have coffee until 2 months out. I'm tired and hope the day goes smoothly and quickly. Still getting over this stomach flu, but it seemed to mostly last 24 hours. What's really bothering me right now is that I took my pills (blood pressure, migraine med, zoloft, iron, and the acid reducer) on an empty stomach while getting ready and my stomach felt like it was going to implode. Just spent the last 20 minutes trying to not throw up, and nurse down some yogurt. Ugh, I won't be doing that any time soon again. I work in a lab, so it's not strenuous. My big concern is getting enough liquids and food in. I've been doing fine on my liquids here at home, and eating some protein every 3 hours. But at work, we have to change shoes, put on hairnet, safety glasses, lab coat, gloves, etc. It's kind of a hassle to go from the lab to the break room and back, and we can't have anything to eat or drink in the lab. Plus, when I'm actively working with samples, I'm not going to be able to just stop and go take a drink in the break room. Well, if that's my biggest worry, I guess that's ok. I've been wearing comfy things like PJ pants since my surgery (unless I go out), and was surprised at how loose my fat girl jeans are this morning! I'm going to have to hike them up over my muffin top rolls just to get them to stay up! -

I developed an adversion to eggs since I had to puree everything. I made a packet of tuna fish, plain greek yogurt, and hot pickles and blended it and then I froze them in ice cube tray and they are ready to eat sizes. Also I have done soups. Those work the same way. Also I have eaten a lotnof yogurt, cottage cheese and used to eggs lol Good luck -
@@Bandista - I'm just loving how you're getting in touch with yourself! I'm learning some things about myself after I read and think about your posts. Thank you for sharing!!! Me too, friend, me too. I still struggle at each meal. Heck, I'll do it even with a Protein shake. I have to will myself to stop at the 8 oz mark when I know I've got the other 8 in the fridge. Each meal, I portion out and then wait after I've finished to see if I'm battling demons or still truly hungry. 99% of the time it's the first. I'm also trying to get into the habit of leaving something on my plate, most of the normies I eat with do this and I want to eat as much like them as possible! Sure wish I had an OA in town... @@bacon - top secret missions now, huh!?! Way to go on splitting that sandwich! VICTORY! @@ParaGirl - eating off plan always leaves me feeling bad too. I think it's a combination of the junk making me physically yucky, but also the emotional feelings of remorse or guilt or something. Glad you're back on track today! Gottta love a principal throwing a last minute "I'm-gonna-use-as-much-of-your-time-as-humanly-possible". Heaven forbid you have time to make copies, plan lessons, etc. @@2babutterfly - hope that camping trip is wonderful! @@enjoythetime - missing your posts, hope all is well. @@lisacaron - what a beautiful list! Sounds like you're one lucky lady! Today has gone according to plan. My husband is sick with a cough and cold, so I know he won't want to exercise tonight. I went ahead and did an hour-long butt kicking today. Jessica Smith has replaced Leslie Sansone for now and she's a little more intense. Add the sore arm from the tetanus shot and those spiffy new ankle weights, and I got my tail worked today! Eating plan: B- 8oz shake w/fiber L-yogurt w/fiber & 2 tbl homemade granola S-8 oz shake w/fiber D-homemade pizza 772c, 79p, 49nc 72 oz Water & exercise completed I just made 96 meatballs for the freezer. I've seen some recipes lately that use them, so this way I've got them made-up and pre-cooked to make life a little easier. I froze them in meal-sized servings, so I hope it works. You guys keep rocking! I gain so much insight and inspiration for your posts. Thank you for sharing this journey with me. I'll check back later, Take care of you.

I was OP yesterday and had my second fitness workout with a trainer. Loving this decision I made for myself. Today I see my NP for a fill check. No fill today. I'm tight enough. I'll hit the gym for some treadmill walking after the doctor. food today is yogurt and nuts and seeds for Breakfast, edamame seeds and a meatball for lunch, and leftover beef in tomato sauce from yesterday for dinner. Oh I also asked my trainer to take body measurements so he did. He will take them monthly.

Goood morning everyone! Yesterday was an emotional day for me, many "breaks" were needed to regain composure BUT I made it with a lot of love and support from my husband, kiddos, family and friends. You are all such an amazing group of people!!! Yesterday was a good day in regards to staying with my plan, I had some variations to what I posted basically eating 6 small meals throughout the day, the last one being at 9pm because that's when we got home from Disney on Ice and I was STARVING. Other than that I stayed under my target calorie count of 1338 and consumed 1290. Water was on point, no exercise, NO TREATS! This not weighing thing is a double edged sword. I felt so free this morning knowing that I wasn't going to step on that thing and let it determine my day, but I'm also going crazy wondering what's happening and heck it's only day 2 not much could've possible happened:-) Taking it in stride though! Today's plan will go SOMETHING like this. It's going to be another busy day so it may vary but I will stay on plan. Today is Grandparents Day at my daughters pre-school so they're having a little program, I can't tell you how much I love these! Any way back to my plan: Again variations so wanting to stay at 1200 or under for the day. B: Yogurt & Trail Mix 250 cal 17P L: Not sure to be honest will aim to keep it around 300 cal S: If needed Protein Bar 160 cal 20p D: Skinny chicken Casserole: 250 cal approx. 29 p S: Skinny Cow Ice Cream- 160 cal 80 oz of water. I will try to get some form of movement in. Cal 1120 Approx. 81 P Talk about holding someone accountable, my son said hey mommy were not doing a very good job at doing that exercise video every night like you said you wanted to....wawawa. Let's DO THIS!:-)

I think I over did it yesterday. I haven't been able to drink as much today. But I did have a quarter cup of yogurt that sat very well. But when I take a deep breath I get this dull pain that wasn't there before.

So I am planning them Cottage cheese/peaches after school Yogurt for my night time sweet Hope everyone has s good day!

Good challenge. It will be tough today for me since we've got snow and I won't be walking at lunch. But I'll try to get the three miles in somehow after work. Had a good weekend but I'm bummed out because I expected a loss and had a gain. I did drink with my meal yesterday when company came (dumb) and I had dessert. So I'm not shocked, just disappointed. I really thought the week of walking would override that but it didn't. It also didn't override the snacking on nuts I did nearly every day last week. Today I'm not going to snack and I will focus on low calorie choices and zero crap. I started with yogurt and have boiled eggs planned for lunch. I sent most of the leftovers home with the company yesterday so I won't be tempted by Pasta and sweets. dinner will be beef and salad. Stressful week ahead with divorce crap. Not gonna eat over it. Nope. Not gonna do it.

Checking in. Breakfast was actually at home. Yogurt and almonds. lunch was a chopped salad with chicken and bacon and balsamic dressing, and I passed on the bread. At the computer store now. Maybe an open house this afternoon.

Haaaaaapy Friday everyone!!! So happy the weekend is upon us! Although the weekend seems to be the most challenging time for me, I'm really going to try and be more mindful of what I put in my mouth (and what comes out of it) hahah nah, that's no fun:-) The hubby and I have date night tomorrow which if I know him means eating at our favorite steakhouse which is great because they have a ton of different options on the menu that fit within my plan so that shouldn't create any pitfalls. Yesterday, let's just say I veered to the left a smidge, no stressing, it's all about balance right. I went over my planned calorie target by 230 so I consumed 1410 (silly things in the freezer). Finished the last day of my Water flush with 85oz, no exercise @@2babutterfly, I'm with you this is the hardest thing for me!!! Today the plan is pretty simple and I will be disciplined to stay with it!!! B: Yogurt & trail mix 250 cal 17p L: Protein bar and 1 cheese stick 270cal 27p D: 2 eggs with 2 slices of low sodium bacon and 1oz of cheese- 320 cal 21p S: Skinny Cow Ice Cream- 160 cal 80 oz water 1,000 cal 65p Being honest exercise probably won't happen today I have meetings at work and things going on this evening. I know excuses, excuses @@JustWatchMe your weekend sounds like so much fun! Italian is my favorite and that menu sounds to die for, send me some:-) I'm sure your friend is extremely thankful!!! Also what a wonderful NSV!! Life is great! @@s_suther I think splitting your shake in half is a great idea especially if it takes 1-2 hours to finish the entire thing, this will not only help your body consume all of the Protein and process it like you want it to but it will also help you fit it within that 30min window. My only question is if you do that will it satisfy you the same way? Since this is a first try maybe you should have a thought out snack on standby just in case so that you're not starving?? Just a thought. @@2babutterfly @@bacon sounds you have great food plans in place! I do believe we're rocking and rolling! We should all be very proud of our accomplishments!! Have a wonderful day everyone!

wonderful story!!! I like the name SAMI.. For soft foods: mash potatoes go well, I actually was able to eat some steamed spinach (small small portion) sweet potato, yogurt (not a fan of cottage cheese).. and egg whites... I am getting about 70-80 grams of protein in which is good and I am up to 50oz of non-protein liquids which I am amazed about.. somedays are better than others even at 11days post-op.. I keep the nausea pills in reach when I try something new just in case... I have not vomited to date, but yes I get the saliva filled mouth (yuck) some morning. but no dry heaving though...thankfully.. Take care

Nov 2013 Sleevers Progress So Far...
Comstock replied to soonerorlater's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had my surgery on 11/26. I have lost 30 lbs from my pre-op diet til now. Finally, I seem to have lost the weight gain from the hospital. I am having alot of trouble getting my Protein and fluids in. Today, I've had 2 yogurts, 1 Protein shake, and about a cup of tomato Soup and about a half cup of thai ginger sweet potato soup. That's about 60 gm protein, but almost NO Water. It's really hard to eat as slowly as I need to. I tried the thai sweet potato soup because I was craving food, not something sweet, but I had a terrible time getting any down. It's soft but guess I am not ready for it. If I try again tomorrow, I will dilute it a lot. It's hard to go as slow as I need to eat, and consequently I often feel a lot of gas pain. I hope to get the hang of this soon. Feeling good, lots of energy, and have stopped pain pills today. That said, after an errand, I come home and collapse for a nap. Next week, back to work. Not looking forward to having a group lunch on Thursday when I don't know what I will be able to eat. Or what to say..... -
I am almost 6 weeks out and went to a concert and stayed overnight in a hotel. I took a little cooler with protein drinks, cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. However I did find some reasonable options at the restaurants. So used my extras for breakfast and snacks.

May sleevers! How much have you lost so far?
tigerbelle replied to mrsplusamericajacksonville's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
my favorites during the soft foods stage were scrambled eggs (with cheese melted on top sometimes), peanut butter, chicken salad, hummus, yogurt, refried beans, other mushy beans -
Any May 20th surgeries out there?
Dani_elle86 replied to teemarie1078's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I tried some tomato soup with non flavored protein mixed in and my stomach loved that. By loved that I mean it stopped gurgling lol. Actually felt like something was in there. Tomorrow I'm gonna try some other strained soups and try to get protein in. I've been handling skim milk well, so I may be able to try some plain yogurt-we'll see how dairy goes. Cross your fingers! Tonight my parents had a cook out-juicy burgers and hotdogs on the grill. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Don't get me wrong my head hunger was in full swing, but the smell was delicious and it made my mouth water...but I wasn't actually hungry for it. I ate soup and protein instead lol. Good luck on your next phase and your recovery! -
Pre- op diet: shakes are so horrible
TheRealMeIsHere! replied to jersey0601's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Have you tried EAS AdvantEdge RTD? They are not as thick as some others. strawberry reminds me of strawberry Quik chocolate Fudge is like YooHoo Cafe Caramel tastes like iced coffee. Just keep trying different shakes till you find what you like, everyone's tastes are different. What about Dannon Light & Fit Greek yogurt? Yogurt counted as a liquid on my program, or even Protein puddings. Where can I find these? I had someone in my support group say the same thing, but I have been unable to find these in shake form (I can only find the protein powder.) I get them in Walmart, which has the best price here, or Shoprite. -
Yes, she said she exercised a lot. She mostly had a cup of coffee with milk for breakfast, a Lean Cuisine type meal for lunch and a yogurt for dinner, most of the time. She said she didn't cheat much. I was reading on another post, that even if you don't have restriction before your first fill, that we are all professional dieters and should "diet" per se, during that time. Instead of eating away, we should watch what we eat and try to maintain at least, not gain. I did this to lose weight. Not gain, not really slow. I have to understand that it is up to me what I put in my mouth. I have always done very well on the South Beach diet. When I start solids this Saturday, I am going to begin doing South Beach. The problem is when I didn't see results doing it in the past, due to my gigantic portions, I would lose hope and binge on junk food. This time it is different!!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

I'd almost rather do ANYTHING than have another IV. The thought literally makes me feel like I'm gonna faint. So, I've figured out that my tiny tummy will hold 3 ounces of RTD shake. Not a drop more. Same with cream soups, yogurt or pudding. I just have to premeasure everything. Which is fine. It can hold more if it's like propel or a clear liquid. So I am going to try to stay hydrated above all else. The first 2 weeks my doc stresses hydration above all else so that's what I'm gonna focus on. I honestly don't think my tummy is ready to process a lot more than that yet. I have a funky metallic taste in my mouth that I thought might be ketosis, but I doubt it since I'm putting milk in my cream soups. My tastes have already changed. Sweet stuff gags me. It's way too sweet. I love plain water, now it hurts. I'm actually not disappointed in my results. I'm glad I can only hold such a small amount right now and that my tastes have changed. The only thing that scares me is my fluid intake. I actually think I'm going to focus each morning on my fluids and start my day that way until I get into a routine. I know I seem to complain a lot and I'm sorry it seems that way. I'm just more or less trying to update on where I'm at. Lol Even though I am struggling in certain areas I'd do this all over again. In an instant. I'm just trying to figure out my groove

Oops, forgot to tell you that I got the yogurt at Walmart. I think that many stores are starting to carry it.
