Vitamin schedule question
lizonaplane replied to OutdoorsGirl's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I just take one ProCare health capsule that has 45 mg of iron in it. I take it at night, because it makes me nauseous. I've tried taking it with meals and it was worse. I only take calcium on days I don't get enough from my diet (protein shakes, yogurt, etc have a lot of calcium). I haven't had blood work done, but my surgery center had a list of acceptable vitamins, and the ProCare health is truly one a day. -
Anyone with a traveling job?
lizonaplane replied to lizonaplane's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've been pretty successful recently. I go to grocery stores and buy fruit and FF greek yogurt for breakfast, and often hummus, chicken and veggies for lunch. I'm getting so sick of hummus tho! I am still going out to dinners because it just depresses me to eat the same meat and hummus and veggies for too many meals. I try to order things that are high protein and low carb, but I often order Pho or some other noodle soup and eat just the meat, veggies, and broth I am certainly comfortable with speaking up, but most of the time I can just eat what I want of what I get - like skipping the rice or potatoes. I can eat most things, but I am still having a hard time with lettuce, so if I get like a chicken ceaser salad at the airport I'll just eat the chicken and dip it in the dressing. -
Anyone with a traveling job?
Losefly replied to lizonaplane's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I travel at least a week a month. Will typically buy yogurt and hard boiled eggs for breakfasts as well as a case of water to keep in my hotel room. I will typically go to a Whole Foods or Sprouts and grab something for lunch, shredded chicken, salad with chicken, or other protein option I can find. I do lots of business dinners and have had great success just talking to the waiter/waitress about what I can eat and find most very accommodating. You just have to get comfortable with speaking up. -
July 2021 Surgery People!
Tony B - NJ replied to Sammys_VSG_Evolution's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have a hard time with chicken breast because it is so dry. I do pretty well with Chicken Salad though. I mix the chicken, onions, celery etc with a teaspoon of mayo and the rest greek yogurt to get the consistency I like. It goes down much easier than just chicken. I have very good luck with all kinds of fish. I don't eat sugary things at all any longer, just have no desire to have anything sweet. The only thing I miss is BREAD. I just cannot eat it, it just makes the center of my chest hurt and makes me want to vomit. I love bread but it is not worth the trouble. -
no more dairy...ugh! Breakfast?
learn2cook replied to pintsizedmallrat's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Gage makes a lactose free yogurt I can tolerate. All Cabot Hill Fam cheeses from Vermont are also lactose free. Cabot hill makes a 50% lite cheddar that tastes good. Watch out for deli meats because they are all made with a milk binder except Boar’s Head meats. Be careful with any “worsted “ meats too. I just had shakes and Fage yogurt during the mushy phase because everything mushy has lactose. Ground meat phase will come soon and get better, sorry. -
I strugged with the pre-op liquid diet and I did break down and have a yogurt on day 4. Just get back on track and keep pushing. The pre-op is the hardest part for some of us.

My answer to temptation is to not have stuff in the house (like not making muffins) or eating some protein like Greek yogurt or string cheese. If the craving persists after that, I promise myself that I can have the craved item if I wait for half an hour. I've usually lost interest during that half hour.

no more dairy...ugh! Breakfast?
cellbell replied to pintsizedmallrat's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
There's no law that you can only eat "breakfast foods" at breakfast! I am not a big egg person either, and in the soft phase I had things like tuna or really soft shredded chicken--in my case I mixed it with a little greek yogurt for moisture and protein, but you could try non-dairy options instead, like broth or taco sauce. Are you having any sensitivity to whey protein since it's sort of dairy-adjacent, or is that working for you so far? Since you said that lactose-free didn't solve the problem, I wonder if your body is just not happy with some other component of the food right now and might eventually resolve itself as you heal. -

Sleeve_Me_Alone replied to pintsizedmallrat's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I've had the coconut yogurt and its not bad. Sometimes you have to try a few before you find one you like. I've never been a huge breakfast person and I absolutely despise eggs in every form, so morning meals are always tricky for me. Most often I simply have "leftovers" for breakfast. When I was in the puree/soft food phases, I'd make a batch of thin refried beans, thick soup, hummus, mashed cauliflower, or other similar foods and then eat it for multiple meals in a row, or I would freeze them in single serve containers and rotate. Oatmeal or cream of wheat with protein powder mixed in might be good options, too. -
I’m so over protein shakes
ColieCallwell replied to j McFadden22's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Agree with this - the unjury chicken soup isn't terrible, but still tastes like protein powder. I'm in the same boat, over the protein. I've been using the Bariatric Advantage Creme flavor, it's less sweet. I mix 2 scoops with fage greek yogurt, 8 oz of water, and 2 tbsps of PB2. It's like 50 g of protein and tastes ok.

I'm not entirely sure it's just lactose intolerance; I took lactaid with a dairy product the other night and almost immediately started getting symptoms so I'm sort of not too hyped on trying it again--A big part of this process is supposed to be "listening to your body" and I feel like that was a pretty loud, clear message not to try it again. I'm getting some coconut yogurt today to try and if it works i'm going to do that with vegan protein powder to get some additional nutrients. -
tajin is tasty on plain Greek yogurt.

Anyone else having VSG end of Nov 2021?
summerseeker replied to Elaine77's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
My surgery is 24th Nov. I have done 2 of 3 weeks of the pre op diet. I am in the UK and we seem to have docs with different diets here. I am allowed Milk, veg, yogurt and fruit. It works out at about 1000 to 1200 cals a day. I am sick and tired of the veg prep and the boring menu. Its cold here so I want warm food. My poor husband hates my farts TMI. I can look at my doctors photograph and call him an absolute b*****d and a torturer and please would he end this and move my surgery forward to this afternoon Anyone on a more restricted diet has my complete sympathy, -
I drink two bottles of 30grams protein shakes a day and one 20 grams protein clear drink. One 15 gram of Greek protein yogurt.

Have you tried Lactose-Free products? Lactaid Fat-Free milk and Cottage Cheese are readily available. FairLife Ultra-Filtered is also Lactose-Free. There are vegan cheeses that are fairly tasty if your Lactose-intolerance goes as far as cheese. Coconut yogurt is more expensive, but dairy free. Fage Zero Greek Yogurt is a milk product but is fat-free. Also, don't assume that your new lactose intolerance will be life-long. I still can't tolerate much whole milk or ice-cream but cheese and yogurt are no longer a problem. -
I'm on day 7 of my pre-op diet, and that is exactly what got me through day 5 -- which was the first Friday when I couldn't order a pizza/look forward to eating in front of the TV after a week of work. It really helped to remind myself that in just three more weeks I can start having yogurt again, in four more weeks I can go back to having (sf) pudding and applesauce and tuna and steamed veggies (etc.), and by February all dietary restrictions should be lifted. There may well be many foods that I never have again, but that will be by choice.

I have seen Skyr yogurt that is lactose free...Skyr is delicious. Other than that I would recommend hard boiled eggs, or Cream of wheat (with a splash of caramel sugar free syrup) is so tasty like pancakes. I always make oatmeal in the am with protein powder, and Peanut Butter powder. Most ultrafiltered milk is lactose free (Fairlife)...maybe you can try some lactose free products? If not, oatmeal made with water vs milk works just as well too. Chia seed pudding with coconut milk would be pretty tasty too....and you can leave that overnight and grab some in the am. I have a slenderized version of the recipe if you'd like it -
week 3, had 1000 calories no problem, and I'm panicking
Tony B - NJ replied to CJ of Dallas's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
When at your stage I was having only 1 protein shake in the morning with an egg that I could not finish. For lunch I had tuna or chopped chicken with a little Mayo and yogurt mixed in to keep wet. I barely got in 3 ounces. Dinner very similar. Force water all day between meals. I am 2 and 1/2 months out and I am still 800-900 calories and feel satisfied. -

You can also fry a week's worth of eggs in advance and keep them in the refrigerator. Warm them in the microwave along with a slice of Canadian bacon or pre-cooked bacon and a bit of cheese in the time it takes to toast an English muffin. Then assemble and eat in the car. (Sorry for being unresponsive to your actual question. I don't use yogurt of any kind, including plant-based.) -

There are nut and coconut yogurts especially for vegans. I like coconut milk best of all the alternate milks. -

Can't help on the yogurt, but one of my favorite grab-and-go breakfasts is hard-boiled eggs. -
Hey folks... So after feeling like garbage for over a month when I started soft foods, it turns out I am really, really sensitive to dairy since my surgery so anything like that is a no-go. My whole diet has basically been cheese milk and yogurt since my surgery and while I'm happy to know now why I was having so many issues (they were so bad I was worried I had a stricture or had developed a hiatal hernia), I'm not sure what to eat now! I'm on soft foods for another month. Does anyone have any good recommendations of a plant-based yogurt that doesn't taste like liquid oatmeal? I tried the soy-based Silk ones and they're just so gross. Any other ideas for quick grab-and-go breakfasts? (I start work ridiculously early, I don't want to be frying eggs at 5 AM).

Food Before and After Photos
Starwarsandcupcakes replied to GreenTealael's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Went to a Turkish restaurant by myself for lunch today. The haydari (strained yogurt dip) and the vegetable stew were delicious but the Star of the show was definitely the keskul (rice and almond pudding) for dessert. I ended up eating most of it even though I was pretty full already. I did not take the leftover flatbreads or the rice home. -
Day 10 A couple things have changed since my last update. I have a superficial thrombophlebitis in my arm above where my IV was. I did notice a couple days after being home that my upper arm was a bit sore and tender, mostly when I was using the arm. But then I noticed it was a little bit pink. Only then did I think “oh this could be a blood clot”. Now this isn’t a deep vein thrombosis, but really the only way to know is through ultrasound, and since i wasn’t willing to risk a PE, I went to the ER. No treatment, just warm compress. The other thing that has developed is that my diaphragm feels really sensitive/tender. Kinda like when you get bumped (or hit) in you belly. So I feel slightly nauseous. Even my bra resting on the diaphragm area is irritating. My muscles definitely feel weak. I’ve mostly been surviving on water, a couple ounces Greek yogurt, sugar free jello, and sugar free pudding. I’m going to try another protein shake today. My dietitian said to basically stay hydrated and take my vitamins. I’m doing normal daily things, taking my kid to the playground (though i’m not playing), driving, Grocery shopping, and house work. one more day until purées! Wahoo!

Any October 2021 Surgeries?
Cookie.Monster replied to devotion's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I started puréed at the one week mark. So many doctors require different things. I followed my friends plan (i was allowed to start puréed on week 2 for me). I lost so much weight (not healthily) bc I couldn’t drink anything anymore I wanted to chew so I preferred not to eat and was starving. Nothing has felt bad so that’s good. I was on yogurt and stuff when I got home from hospital. My follow up is tomorrow so hopefully all is well. listen to your body. If something feels like it’s not setting then remove it and try again at another time.
