Trouble finding a variety of foods I can eat well...
Daisee68 replied to butterfly40's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
As a southern girl, how about try some homemade pimento cheese with lite mayo (or Greek yogurt) and mix in some unflavored Protein powder. (Non-southern people generally have no idea what pimiento cheese is! ????). It keeps really well and is great with cucumbers, a few crackers, or just with a spoon! If you want a recipe, send me a PM and I will send you mine. Sent from my HTC One M9 using the BariatricPal App -
to snack, or not to snack?
Kindle replied to GSleeve822's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I eat 6-7 times/day. Sometimes it's tiny plate of Chineese take out. Sometimes it's Greek yogurt, or a piece of pizza, or a couple handfuls of pumpkin seeds. Sometimes it's a Quest bar or a bag of Protein chips. Sometimes it's a 1/2 an apple, or fish and tartar sauce, or deli turkey and cheese, or steamed veggies. I just eat when I'm hungry, get in all my protein and fluids and don't get too hung up on the semantics of "is this a meal or is this a snack?" Besides, compared to what I ate before surgery, everything I eat now is "snack size"!- 42 replies

to snack, or not to snack?
FrankyG replied to GSleeve822's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I eat Snacks. I eat 3 meals a day and 1-2 snacks in between. My snacks are things like a carbmaster yogurt (60 calories, 4 g carbs, 9 g protein), a string cheese stick and 3 grape tomatoes with a sprinkle of olive oil, a glass of Mootopia milk (or Fairlife if you're not in Texas), or some hummus and carrots, or a half cup of broccoli/cauliflower with a slice of lowfat cheese melted over. I stick with things that have either high Protein, high Fiber or both, and always try to keep the carbs down so when added to my daily carb totals the snacks don't pop me up over my max. I also count calories (will do so probably for the rest of my life) so I know when I can and can't have a snack. If you can't make smart choices on snacks or you don't want to count calories/carbs, then snacks might not be a good idea, but if you are keeping up with all of that, they do well to make sure you are fueling your body with healthy stuff and not going too long between meals so you forget to eat healthy during actual mealtimes. -
I had my surgery this morning (12 hours ago) and I feel fantastic
SassyNanny replied to newme1234's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Great News! Take it slowly. Ramp up to the Protein and Fluid goals. If you need help with getting protein into things like applesauce, Soup or yogurt try GENEPRO unflavored Protein powder. 1 tablespoon has 30g protein and 98 cals. I still use Premium protein (Choc and vanilla) premade drinks from costco. 30g 160 cals. Couldn't have kept my protein high without these 2 products. Best Wishes!!

What if I can't do it?
RoscoColetrain replied to DirtyyMelodies's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Pre-op was actually significantly harder for me than post-op. Pre-op... oh that's just a sandwich. or two. bah that's nothing. Post op.... Oh that's a Whole thing of yogurt? sigh. Maybe in an hour or two. Keep at it -
Hungry already! Is this normal?
Shaydi.Laine replied to Angie1978's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
7 days post-op and also hungry. This isn't head hunger, I know the difference. Head hunger I can actually ignore, real hunger drags me out of bed at 3am for a yogurt just to stop the pain so I can sleep. I mentioned the hunger to the bariatric nurse when she called to check on me. She said the liquid phase is the worst and once I move to pureed foods, I will start feeling more satisfied. Maybe true but doesn't alleviate the disappointment we feel from being hungry after this operation when we are told that we won't be. On the plus side I have already dropped 6.5 pounds on top of the 10 pounds(!) of Water weight I gained in the hospital. I have never seen the scale drop so fast. Now to survive another week of liquids.... -
8 weeks out from surgery, still can't eat food
tball77 posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had gastric bypass on January 27, so I'm 8 weeks out. I'm still on a mostly liquid diet, as I am in a great deal of discomfort/pain whenever I try to eat food. I can handle yogurt whips, Protein shakes, broth, mashed potatoes, and that's it. The surgeon is hoping I'm just a slow healer, but it feels like more than that Anyone else experience that? -
What do you eat in the mornings to get your protein in?
WorkinOnMe replied to cal2okl's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I tend to mix things up frequently ... can't eat the same thing too long or I get bored & cravings kick in. Here are some of my go to's: 5 oz greek yogurt with Protein powder (adds an extra 10g) w/ small bits of fruit or berries 1/2c cottage cheese (+powder) with diced peaches 1 scrambled egg with salsa & cheese 1 chicken sausage - large (favs are the spinach & feta or apple) 1 tuna packet (premade) or 1/2c with fat free caesar dressing instead of mayo 1/2c chicken salad with plain greek yogurt instead of mayo & Mrs. Dash seasoning/flavor In a rush I will have a Protein Drink (either EAS or Syntrax nectar fruit flavored) or when we are traveling I order a plain bagel with sausage, egg & cheese and have them put the cheese between the egg & meat. I give the hubby the bagel and eat just the egg and meat. -

Unflavored (or preferably flavorless) protein powders
joconi replied to farooforever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just purchased Greek yogurtein coconut cream and it tastes like coconut. Great for yogurts, I haven't tried it in anything else. I also grabbed a container of quest unflavored that you can use in anything. Shakes, liquids, and it bakes. Haven't tried it yet but the woman at GNC said she heard it works great. Anyone bake with any protein powders? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Newbies - how much liquids/protein are you getting in?
amandastearns replied to xochtlem's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sassycat, I have not tried that but I always buy genepro (flavor and scentless) with 30g and add it to my fluids when needed. I've been having a hard time with protein and now my levels are low and required to get 105gm of protein daily. Adding this to my fluids really helps. I buy it on amazon and it can be added to anything! I also add it to my yogurt! -

Keep your chin up, it will get better each day. I really think you are eating some really difficult foods for week one. Shouldn't you be on full liquids only? During my first 2 weeks I really had no desire to eat and lived on whey Protein watery milk or beef broth (to ensure my protein intake), Jello, sugar free popsicles, and Powerade Zero (Powerade zero,which my doctor said was the ONLY sport drink I could drink was my life saver because Without it I would have dehydrated.) I could not drink Water until about week 8 and even now it is difficult. eggs I could not tolerate until a good 6-8 weeks. My second week I tried adding pudding, small curd cottage cheese, yogurt, and finally 'almost" pureed chicken. I think I wasted more food than I ate for the first month because I would eat a few bites and was full usually from trying to keep up with the required Fluid intake. Any way you look at it, enjoy the limited eating now and the not wanting to eat, because by your 3rd-4th month the desire to eat is back and your new eating habits have to be on your mind so you do not fall back to your old habits.

Need Help with Losing 10lbs for Surgery Consideration May 10th. How did you do it?
WorkinOnMe replied to BBweightlossjourney's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I put myself on a modified "liquid diet" ... I had a Protein drink for breakfast, a greek yogurt for snack, a cup of soup for lunch (pureed, all liquid like tomato, cream of broccoli, etc), a Protein Drink for snack, and whatever protein and vegetable my family ate for dinner. I also filled the rest of my day with Water (crystal light flavors or Powerade zero flavors) .... at least 64-76 oz per day. I stepped up my walking to 2 miles every other day. I lost 26lbs pre-op. Good luck!! -
Need Help with Losing 10lbs for Surgery Consideration May 10th. How did you do it?
Pillar2butterfly replied to BBweightlossjourney's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
First, Has anyone used Dr. Paragi from West Orange ? What was your experience from beginning to end? No, sorry...can't help there... A more important question, is I have to lose 10lbs quickly ... To be considered for the sleeve , any advice ? pleaseee ..How did you do it ? Is this a requirement by your insurance or surgeon? I am no nutritionist, but most surgeons require a liquid diet prior to surgery...no reason why you couldn't do it now. For example, on mine...I drank 3 Protein shakes a day for Breakfast, lunch, and dinner...in between I had 4 oz Dannon Greek yogurt, 4 oz FF cream chicken Soup (strained), SF Jello or SF pudding....using these variations as 3 Snacks in between. I did this for 10 days and lost 15 lbs. -
How to stop weight lost.

thank you! I'm working with both a nutritionist and a psychologist, today was good day I try to eat more, even had pasta, Greek yogurt, and finally some shaved meet with olive oil and lemon. I was able to keep it down. I need to let myself gain some weight and be ok with it. Because I had surgery to have a healthy life with my kids and husband. -

Fear of eating out and dumping
Djmohr replied to Thecloude1's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
@@Thecloude1 Don't let this fear rule you. You will learn quickly if you are going to dump and what causes it. Most people never experience dumping, it is a small percentage of people who do. When you go on your trip, bring along some things you might need. I always travel with ready made Protein shakes, good quality Protein Bars, cheese sticks, jerkey, nuts or seeds in prepackaged portions. When eating out early on I stuck to things like cottage cheese, fish, chicken and stay away from sugary or fatty foods that might cause dumping. Yogurt. Keep one thing in mind, when you order yogurt in a restaurant it is usually full fat, full sugar. I have had yogurt make me uncomfortable for a while. Occasionally the higher end brunch places with have lovely plain yogurt with berries. the only time I ever get sick is if I eat too much of something that could cause a person to dump. So what I mean by that is if I were to have a treat like ice cream, I know that if I eat more than 3 or 4 spoonfuls I am going to be very uncomfortable for a while. I won't get sick but I get a very heavy feeling. I also get this from things like rice, bread, Pasta.....so I simply stay away. I can however have a piece of toasted bread without getting that same feeling. Now keep in mind I am 18 months out and at goal so I am allowed to eat some of these things in moderation. In the first 12 months I stayed completely away. I hope this helps. Have a great time on your trip.
