struggling with liquid diet (August 5th surgery)
Monnie815 replied to lauren8486's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Any one struggling with pre ob diet...get you some unflavored protein and mix with anything it has 30gm per scoop. I love it in yogurt. It didn't resolve well in soup or jello. It keeps you full I have no will power but have done wonderful on pre diet. No hunger -
Yogurt, sugar free jello, protein shakes, watery cream of wheat, sugar free pudding, I can't remember the whole list. Pretty much anything sugar free and liquid like. They gave me a complete list of what to eat and what not to eat.
-
I eat mostly baked chicken breasts, fish, salads, beef jerky, yogurt, other veggies and fruits, protein bars, steak, eggs, a variety of things. I am almost a year out though.

I do a low-ish carb diet. I have meat and/or eggs and green vegetables at virtually every meal. I do moderate dairy: yogurt, whey protein powder, grass-fed butter, and occasionally small amounts of cheese. I eat fruit and nuts as snacks (in addition to jerky and more green veggies). Excluded: grains, starchy veggies, dairy milk, alcohol, beans and legumes, and sweets. I make rare exceptions on special occasions, but they really are rare. This particular plan works well for me because if I eat sweets or other carby foods my cravings go absolutely insane. This diet keeps them in check.

Lactose Intolerance After Bariatric Surgery
Alex Brecher replied to BaileyBariatrics's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Magazine
Thanks for the information and explanation of lactose intolerance and how it works. It may also be worth noting that a super important consequence of eating less dairy is the lack of calcium intake. Milk, yogurt, cheese, and cottage cheese contain calcium, which is very important for bone health. All weight loss surgery patients need to be on top of their calcium intake, and you need to be even more careful to get in your supplements if you’re skipping the dairy products due to lactose intolerance. -
4 days post op... I am hungry?!
wagyu replied to wagyu's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks so much!! Ahh the tuna isn't the problem I ate the tuna after my hunger, as in I was extremely hungry therefore I ate the tuna , not the other way around. I only ate tuna at the hospital and then during that one hunger pang. I should've been more clear it seems like everyone thinks I'm eating tuna daily. And the tuna is Pureed to mush not solid tuna. In between I'm eating soft scrambled eggs and yogurt, cottage cheese, Protein Shakes, Soups, nothing crazy. I can tolerate these no problem I just have hunger pangs here in there. And I'm still learning what my body is telling me if it likes certain things or not. So it's a learning experience. Thanks!! -
Has anyone tried this protein?
AlphaB replied to AlphaB's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok what I've been doing is pouring a whole scoop in a separate container each day and eating the protein throughout the day. I add half to a shake and later to oatmeal or yogurt cause I figured 60g a meal was too much. I just wanted to make sure. Thanks for letting me know! -
Vegetarians & Gastric Sleeve
Thinside replied to JenniferP1's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My doctor's office pointed out that it's not "carbs" that matter so much as the kind of carbs. In other words, there's a big difference between the carbs in soybeans or a piece of fruit than those in potato chips or a candy bar. I was told to keep carbs under 120, but…see above. They said the quality of the carbs is what matters most. They also said I wouldn't be ABLE to eat enough carbs to cause any worries at this point, what with my tiny stomach capacity so early on. Of course, I do follow the mantra to always eat Protein first. I'm not a vegetarian, but have been a pescatarian (eat some fish, plus eggs and dairy) for 40 years. I have always had trouble getting enough protein (I log it every day on Sparkpeople), so I was worried about this. I'm just 10 days post-op, and just started pureed foods. I'm eating yogurt, vegetarian refried Beans with cheese, blended cottage cheese, ricotta, cream of wheat, applesauce or other fruit blended with unflavored unjury, and tofu. (You can do amazing things with tofu!) I haven't yet tried any fish or eggs. 'm not having any troubles to speak of and am hitting my protein goal every day. I'm also using protein powders and drinks. For example, every day I put 1/2 of a New whey Protein Shot (fruit punch flavor) in a 20 ounce bottle of Water. That gives me 21 grams of protein, plus helps me hit my liquid goal. The oddest thing so far for me is that plain ole H2O has always been my favorite drink -- I've never been a big soda drinker, and if I ever drank juice, I would cut it to 1/5 juice, 4/5 water. But since the sleeve, plain water tastes weird to me. So I hope you won't worry! I am finding it very manageable. And you know what else? It may be crazy or sacrilegious or something, but I WANT to lose somewhat slowly! I figure a slower loss will help with the skin sagging (I'm in my late 50s, and concerned about this). I also feel that an extra few months of getting to goal is not a big worry; after all, I plan to lose this weight for life. Unlike all the other times I've lost weight, this time I know it is going to come off and stay off! So if it takes a bit longer (and gives my skin time to catch up), I'm not going to stress out about it! Best of luck to you! Keep us posted! -
Had my rny on July 7 2015. I've been so nauseous and constantly dry heaving and vomiting up saliva. I have a constant sweet taste in my mouth that makes drinking reg Water or crystal light water a chore. I don't eat at all I just feel so sick to my stomach. I try to take zofran but the taste of the medicine makes me vomit. My blood work came back bad all my lvls are low so I got some prescriptions today and I'll have my blood drawn again in 1 week. If my blood levels don't go up they will have to admit me to the hospital. Anyone one else on the same boat. This whole week 7 days I manage to eat half a cup yogurt and 1 bite of mashed potatoes for a 7 day period. Can't see my surgeon cause I can't afford the $200 charge. ugh!!!! Had MRI everything looks good no blockage or leaks

@@Woodland4807 Ok, you asked us to keep you in check. That says to me you already know you are doing something you shouldn't be. #1 - you are likely not getting enough Protein in. If this is close to your daily routine, then you can expect to get sick down the road or lose more of your hair than you would if you were getting your protein. You are in control of this. #2 - I would not expect to see pizza on your approved foods list at 5 weeks post op. It is clearly not the healthiest choice for you right now. It does not mean that you can never have a piece of pizza again, but it will be sometime before your new tummy is ready for that. If you need a snack at this point, I would suggest either adding another protein shake in which would boost your protein count or stick with things that have a high protein value like lunch meat, cottage cheese, yogurt, cheese, nuts or seeds. Jerkey is also an excellent option You are doing fantastic! Steer clear of things that can make you stall like the carbs in that pizza. Many complications can be avoided from WLS by following the plan provided by your doctor exactly. It is fantastic that your exercise routine is so strong at this stage as well. Keep up the great work and you will reach your goals before you know it!

As someone else just said--you aren't getting enough Protein. Do you track your protein? You should. Protein should be your main focus now and always. You could have a snack of nonfat greek yogurt or some nonfat cottage cheese, some edamame (this is always a nice treat), there is also the unjury Protein powder you can put into other things, or other protein powders. maybe another Protein shake in the evening. But NOT pizza. According to my NUT, I should never have pizza again. Or, at least pizza as you used to know it. I do have it but only eat the toppings if there is a protein on it, especially chicken. I have seen other recipes where you use a big mushroom or eggplant as the crust and then the normal toppings, there are other creative ways you can have pizza eventually. But not now. Way too soon. I think there is a recipe somewhere on here that is kind of like all the toppings and sauce, baked that is supposed to be awesome and you just make it and eat it like that. Just get back on track, keep a journal of your food and track the protein in it. It's amazing how easy it is to not have much protein and that is supposed to be your main focus.

My one year "surgaversay" today w/pic
amazon replied to amazon's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi. Yes, I still get at least 80 grams of protein a day. It's pretty easy since I center my meals and Snacks around protein. I'm gluten free, so there's really no room for much "junk". I always make myself a Protein shake for Breakfast. I enjoy them and it keeps my mornings simple and they travel with me. I like Click decaf mocha. I add extra things to it (spinach, ground flax, chia, benefibre) etc). I have chicken, tuna, and some veggies or if I'm lazy (unprepared) a Premier shake at lunch. Usually a Greek yogurt for a snack. And a good dinner. Sometimes a Quest bar in there too. -
It sucks, but you are healing. I had yogurt, sugar free Jello, and sugar free Popsicles too. Once on full liquids my husband "doctored" a few soups to make them more savory for me. Most days looked like this: Breakfast - Dannon Oikos greek yogurt (no added sugar, no artificial sweetners, no fat ... several flavors) with 10g added Protein power. Snack - 8oz Protein Drink lunch - 1/2 cup blended Soup w/ seasoning Snack - 8oz protein drink dinner - 1/2 cup blended soup with seasoning & 10g added Protein powder. In between ... 64 oz Fluid. Mostly Water with Mio or Crystal Light drops for flavor. Soups were all 99% fat free and alternated between the following (put through a blender & strainer first): Cream of chicken with Adobo, onion powder, garlic powder Golden mushroom with cumin, curry powder, paprika Cheddar broccoli French Onion I also alternated sugar free pudding, jello, custard, etc when I wanted a different texture. Hope this helps. You've only a few days til full liquids!

I am 3 weeks post open and have been a vegetarian for over two years. I did try being a vegan (no animal products at all) and ethically I identify more with vegans, but I just found that for me, personally, I do better with dairy in my diet. I know post surgery vegans exist, but I imagine it came with some challenges. To get my protein post surgery, I rely on beans, soy based products including tofu and faux meats (gardein and Quorn brands being my fave) as well as eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese, and milk. Once I am further long and have a better handle on eating, I will transition back to unsweetened original almond milk for use in cooking and in beverages. I am also going to try a tofu and spinach scramble instead of egg scramble. I had an organic frozen entree of this made by Annie brand and ioved it! Was expensive for my budget, though. Try using textured vegetable protein TVP or gardein's meatless ground "beef" in beef recipes (chili, texmex) or Quorn faux chicken. I have added that chicken to soup,.pasta, as the main focus, or under a lemon butter sauce and goat cheese with sundries tomatoes (aka chicken Bryan). I want to explore cooking tofu better, though. Seems to be better when others make it but I haven't given up, yet! (Ps, soft tofu can be used as a base for fruit smoothies or freeze mixture and eat as frozen treat. I really liked both!)

Really wanting to go Vegetarian (still eat eggs and cheese)
jennysayscheese replied to CherokeeGirl's topic in Vegetarian or Vegan Eating
I have been a vegetarian for over two years for ethical and health reasons. I recently had the roux n y done so most of my thoughts and advice are from pre surgery, keep that in mind. That being said, it is entirely possible and not difficult to be a vegetarian! Before or after surgery! Protein staples post surgery will be eggs, dairy in general, beans, tofu/soy products, including faux meat like my favorite, gardein's meatless ground "beef". I love black beans and chickpeas, lentils, peas.....Bob's Red Mill makes a veg soup mix that I add additional beans, corn, tomatoes, etc to with some veggie broth. Moroccan Chickpea soup is a fave, too. I also love cheese and dairy so I make quiches , add cheese to up flavor and protein, as well as use plain greek yogurt as a topping replacement for sour cream. Experiment with veggies and recipes you can find online, especially through allrecipes.com. tofu can be substituted for any meat, though there are premade tofu dishes that you may want to try first. Also, once onto regular foods diet, Tempeh is great to make veggie reubans. Yum! Oh and Quorn makes excellent faux chicken. Highly recommend! I find this stuff I. My grocer's organic aisle, Wal-Mart doesn't carry this stuff yet to my knowledge. Commit for a week, preplan and pre make your dishes because healthy vegetarian done right requires some cooking and planning. Then go for two weeks. If you are craving tuna or some other meat, indulge and then go back to no meat products. I still will eat a burger every now and again, and then I move on. I have felt so much better since becoming a vegetarian. My food tastes better, I can isolate the individual flavors without the heaviness of meat drowning it out. Also, season I.g is a big key component to making veggies and food more than just ordinary. It became a lot of fun for me to try new stuff and introduce my family to it! If you are interested in any recipes I utilize, please let me know. I don't like anything too complicated or time consuming. Sorry I kind of jumped around, I get so excited when other ppl take interest in bettering themselves and the world through their forks. OH...YOU MUST WATCH "Forks Over Knives". Must. I saw it on Netflix. It is a great documentary, will change how you look at health and food and history. -
Hunger Pain post op ????
Cdominguez replied to Cdominguez's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
???????????? this is so hard do you guys think a yogurt is ok? -
@@Cheri_j I understand the concept your doctors are getting at. For me, I think of my day as broken up into 5 small meals. Basically at 7 am, 11 am, 2-3 pm, and 6-7 pm. I hear you on the slippery slope to grazing! @@lealor Some of my small meal ideas include everything the others said (jerky, nuts), but I do my apples with PB2 (reconstituted of course). I also depend on "meatless meatballs" -- a few with some tomato sauce is yummy, pre-cooked turkey meatballs with a few green veggies, and low-cal chicken salad. Chicken salad is easy to make with left overs or canned chicken and a little light mayo or greek yogurt sauce. I also have small meals with convenience foods if I'm out and about: Quest bar is a nice Meal Replacement, or quest Protein chips with some salsa. Lots of dairy meals too -- why can't you do dairy?

Gastric Sleeve Leakage/Clot, Liquid Diet through IV (tfa...?), Multiple Revision Attempts
NoMoreFatGuy replied to Alkalinetrio262's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I was sleeved on March 30th. Went back into the hospital with a 9cm leak on April 8th. Spent 6 weeks in ICU. Doc said I came as close to dying as you can come. I spent another week in a general care ward and went home with a drain and a pic line with a mesh stent in my esophagus. The stent hurts like hell. I am allowed to eat mushy foods like cottage cheese and yogurt but swallowing hurts so I rarely eat. I get TPN at home every night. I did a swallow study last week and I have a less than 1cm leak still. Doc says each person is different and heals differently. The most time to heal he has heard of is two years. I have lost 92 pounds which is good considering TPn is high in calories and sugar. I am in a wait and see mode at this point. I take four percosets a day and am on a 150 microgram fentynal patch that we change out every three days. Life pretty much sucks right now but I know when the leak heals and the stent comes out I will be much better. Don't try to compare heal times with others because it will just frustrate you. It will be a rough time but be as patient as you can and you will get through. -
Yeah I have. They just tell me to keep doing what im doing (eggs, yogurt) ive seen on here protein shots and I think ill try them. Know anything about their taste?
