Are there any out there? I know there are. Just need someone to commiserate with! Had a shake and greek yogurt this morning. Now on Clear liquids for the rest of the day. It's a good thing I like Water. I added a little lemon essential oil. My stomach is already talking to me about how I am neglecting it!

After mushy stage
juliegeraci replied to LeslieR041906's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Leslie, I am on Weight Watchers. I follow the core program. It is comprised of meats, fish, chicken, all the protein you want. Vegies and fruits . The only carbs you have besides the fruits are brown rice and whole grain pastas, no bread. You get 35 points a week to eat whatever you want outside of the core plan. ie. alcohol, bread, mayo, etc. My mom's friend has lost 100 lbs on the core program. You eat unlimited until you are full. I have such a great fill now that I only at a 1 point weight watcher yogurt yesterday, 3 plums, 1 hard boiled egg, 1/2 chicken breast and zucchini for dinner. I love going to the meetings. I have 23 lbs to lose with a 15 lb stretch goal. Julie from CA. -

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....

The greatest advice I ever got was "the band is just a tool"'and ain't that the truth. my band is at a perfect fill right now, so why cant I feel motivated to work out or even eat right? I'm almost pre-op weight and lightbulb hit when I was the on the plane the other day and I couldn't buckle the belt. same thing happened before I got the band. anyone have any "back to basic" advice? this morning going to grab the greek yogurt, Vitamin drink etc and hopefully do liquids for maybe a couple days? thoughts?

I use plain greek yogurt, sugar free preserves and honey to make my own high protein breakfast.

I have struggled with maintaining low carb status. But, low carb liquids that I have found that taste good are crystal light to go packs that I put in a bottled water, no sugar added popsicles, chicken boullion cubes (2) for 16 oz. of H20 in a large mug in the microwave for 3 mins., and then I also ordered products from bariatriceating.com... they have some potent protein drinks (3oz. fluid with 42 g protein / low carb)... I don't like these as much but they pack a great protein punch with very low or no carbs. The website has other items that I do like but they are for when you can have more than just clear liquids. I actually made up a protein shake in the blender yesterday that tasted gooood. It was one pack of the to go crystal light packs (classic orange), about 6-8 ice cubes, 1/2c of skim milk, a frozen banana, and 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder from GNC (40g protein). I think next time I will try to decrease the carb content more by trying to use kroger carbmaster plain yogurt and a pack of splenda or carbmaster vanilla yogurt instead of the banana and milk. Best of luck...

I'm confuse!! Prenatal Vitamins, DHA, EPA
CaliGirl626 posted a topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
Hello Ladies, First of all, I'm not sure if I'm pregnant. My period is about a week late. I took 5 Pregnancy tests (can you tell I'm one of those people who is a pain in the butt? :biggrin: ) 3 of the digital one showed "Pregnant" and 2 of them were the blue line type, it the plus wasn't that clear to see. Prior to this, I've been taking the chewable Flintstones Complete. Once I did the P-test and I realized i might be preggo, I started taking Prenatal Vitamins. I crush the prenatal pill and just add the powder to yogurt. My problem is the Fishoil softgel. That thing is Ginormous! For the pass two days, I have poke a hole into the softgel, squeeze out the oil and mix it with food. The stinks so bad I could barely keep my food down . My questions to you ladies, are you taking those softgel fishoil? What are my alternative to taking this disgusting thing that is suppose to be good for me? Is there any other brand of Prenatal vitamins I should look into? And where can I find them? Also, have anyone tried the Hershey's Goodnight Hugs and Kisses Hot cocoa? I heard they are good and 99.9% Caffeine free. Thank you so much everyone~! I will keep you update on my "maybe" status once it turns into "confirmed". -
too many "bad foods"
BlackBerryJuice replied to jenn20's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just picked boiled thigh meat (which is very soft) and then chewed every piece like 30 times so it turned into mush. I find that the difference between the full liquids and mushies is pretty blurred. Like, how come I can have yogurt on full liquids, but I can't have pureed vegetables that are the exact same consistency as the yogurt? -
I am 12 days post op today. I am not feeling and hunger pains nor do I feel when I am full. I can eat a cup of sf pudding or 4 oz of greek yogurt. Kinda worried about this. Anyone else having this problem?
-
I mix with plain Fage yogurt and dip apples or cucumber slices in it, or just eat eat. I've also mixed it with oatmeal and that was good for a treat.

Breakfast: egg with oatmeal toast Lunch: Barilla Plus spaghetti with meat sauce (lots of meat) maybe a tossed salad Dinner: Pork chops with rice pilaf and green beans Snack: light yogurt with cheerios

So thankful to see I am not the only one. I was sleeved on the 12th and today I am craving everything in sight - but no true hunger feelings. I do occasionally get like an empty gut feeling, but I sip on something and it subsides. Yesterday and today, I tried some soup and frozen yogurt (yogurt allowed on my full liquid post op diet) but after like 3 bites, I got these severe stomach cramp feeling that quickly disappears. So I stop and feel satisfied for a while. Anyone experience this crazy stomach pains like 5-10 seconds after swallowing something? Off to fantasize about bread, pasta, and chocolate....

Jenmv - I don't have gas or reflux. I can have Protein shakes and yogurt shakes etc. I drink all day but I still need more "substance." I know it will get better once I start the puréed phase. Thanks for the egg drop soup suggestion. I think I can have that. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

als74 you sound JUST LIKE ME. what you posted above is DITTO of me. It took me a while to figure this out as well. I now eat only yogurt or cottage cheese for breakfast. No more cereal or toast. I have to eat lunch around 1:00 to 1:30. any earlier and I'm in pain and the air and slime starts. I can usualy eat just about anything by the time dinner times comes. I too can not eat white meat chicken. Only dark meat. We have a lot in common! If I skip a meal, I'm in serious trouble.
-
I couldnt take it anymore either, I too started to try and use food to take over the shakes... I do have the unjury I will try and put a little in yogurt, but I try and do the food portion!

keep it simple the first day- dont push yourself out of your comfort zone. Try SF pudding with Protein powder or FF greek yogurt with splenda or crystal light for flavor. If that is too thick or heavy dilute with skim milk and gradually thicken it up with Protein Powder. Also try thickening up your Protein shakes with more pro powder and ice and yogurt. If you want to progress beyond that- try cottage cheese or tofu. I personally LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the laughing cow soft cheese wedges for flavor- they are only 2g pro and 2g carbs 35 cal- so they arent food to live off of, but they do give you some variety flavor wise. If you excercise dont sweat the carbs. hope that helps! This mushie stage is AWESOME after all those sweet protein drinks!

I finally get to start mushies.......today! (Drooling!) My doctor gave me a rather abbreviated list of approved foods: Refried Beans Scrambled eggs Mashed potatoes Applesauce Yogurt Cottage cheese Cream of Wheat/ oatmeal pudding I'm wondering what other wonderful morsels you all have found to add to the above list that made this stage more enjoyable. I'm particularly interested in forms of Protein. I'm so excited..........I'm actually going to use a FORK!!!! LOL. Thanks! B

liquids baby! Do you have a hand out from your doctor? I hope so!! If not (gasp) Google stages after bariatric surgery and call your doctor! If you just need ideas- take it SLOW. little tiny sips. I did Protein shakes, tomato Soup, v8, strained Soups like minestrone only the liquid , broth, yogurt sugar free, sugar free Jello, sugar free Popsicles. Very very little at this stage. An couple ounces is a meal or at least it was for me

1 package FF SF cheese cake pudding mix 1 cup FF milk 1 cup FF Plain Greek FF yogurt 1 cup FF Cool Whip whip it all together and chill 2 hrs then serve. By my calcuations via MFP it should work out to about 61 cal. per 1/2 cup 0 fat 4.2 g Protein 2.1 g Sugar 1.3 g Carbs I say not bad and is so delicious

I ate most of those foods on my "puree" stage. I have weird consistency issues eg, OJ with pulp, yogurt with fruit bits etc. I'm not saying my decision was the right decision you should always check with your surgeon. I looked in to other people's post op diets and figured I'd be relativly safe with a puree/soft food diet. i've been fine.
-
I'd be sick of the taste too. What kind of Protein shakes are you doing - the prepackaged ones? Have you yet tried the kind you make in your blender with diet milk, fruit, yogurt, and Protein powder? Those are super and taste more like real smoothies.
-
I did not have a mushie or puree stage in my diet plan. I went from liquids to "soft proteins" which included canned chicken and tuna, eggs, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, and white fish. My doc is big on low carb so I was never allowed potatoes, oatmeal, grits, applesauce, or cream of wheat; all my favorite foods!! :;

Am I working or is the Band going to work
Melissannde replied to shelyshely's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The way my doctor has us eat is to weigh and measure our food, not to eat till full. The full feeling is different after banding... what we're really trying to achieve is a feeling of being satisfied, not full. He suggests 3oz of Protein and 1/2 cup of veggies per meal. That's what I serve myself (I use a scale I bought years ago to do eBaying.. think I might have pd $20.00 for it, or less). I eat that, wait 20 minutes. IF still hungry after 20 minutes, I'm allowed more veggies. Most of the time, the 3oz & 1/2 cup is enough. If you don't have a food scale.. 3oz of protein is about the size of a deck of cards (3 dimensional) or the palm of your hand. 1/2 cup of veggies is a Large serving spoonful or about the size of a tennis ball. Those little glass custard dishes from my childhood hold about 1/2 cup of veggies too. You could try eating the way my doctor suggests and see if that will work for you. We are allowed Snacks between meals if needed. Keep them low calorie, low carb and high protein. Things like reduced fat string cheese, low carb yogurt, 1 teaspoon (not tablespoon) of Peanut Butter and an apple, 100 calorie packet of almonds, 50 calorie packet of beef Jerky (jack links teriyaki steak nuggets are really good). Between meals, get in your Water. Minimum of 64oz a day. And the previous poster is right.. a teeny fill can make a huge difference. Hang in there. -
On day 10 of 14, and I've felt weak the last couple days. Part of this is probably due to overexerting myself this weekend as I helped my father with logsplitting. Lots of bending up and down and heavy lifting Saturday. (I do notice feeling a bit lightheaded on the diet while getting up quickly.) Anyone else experience similar syndromes? My stools have often been loose the last few days too. My pre-op diet allows lean Proteins and veggies, with limited fruit and nonfat Greek yogurt. Targeting 800-1000 calories daily. On most days I hit at least 100 grams of Protein.
