Not hungry at breakfast time
Sleeved in Seattle replied to ReDbEaN's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You are not alone. I keep telling myself breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but I struggle too. Usually I'll start the morning off with a 16 oz. glass of water, then eat. I try to choke down some cottage cheese or greek yogurt, but it often seems like I'm eating brunch, not breakfast. -
I've been having hummus, eggs with cheese, tuna, soft shredded chicken chewed well, avocado/guacamole, yogurt, babybel cheese, cottage cheese, thicker soups, mashed potatoes. The little cans of tuna have lots of protein, so a good choice. Oh and I had a weight watchers fudge pop tonight that was awesome.

@@viri87 yogurt would not have been okay on my post-op plan, but plans vary a lot. Best to call your bariatric team and check in with them for guidance. Welcome and good luck!

thanks everyone, you guys are so helpful and supportive I really thanks God for each of you here and the support. By the way I am doing awesome on day 4, my only concern was getting my Protein down wich I found to sweet now and that is why I was asking about the yogurt but I end up mixing unflavored Protein powder with chicken broth, the only thing is that is not completly sodiun free but I hope is fine because at least I an getting my protein!!!

My surgery was 9/2 and yogurts were fine as long as they had 7 grams of sugar or less. Chobani simply 100 is a good one or Oikos zeros. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

FOUND: The Band! (on 3/21) - This is so exciting!
Daffodil replied to jaysd74's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi Jason ! I was banded 3/21. as well. My "get out of jail" date, as I'm no longer a prisoner of food....I feel great ! Some soreness for the f irst few days, but I'm no longer even on pain meds....I'm envious that you had a short pre-op and post-op liquids phase....mine was liquids for 10 days pre-op and 7-10 days post-op...I lasted until post-op day #7 and then had cream of wheat, light yogurt and grits...on day # 14 I can have scrambled eggs, tuna with mayo...it will seem like prime rib ! I feel so excited about starting my new life and look forward to a substantial and sustained weight loss. Are you physically active, or wish to be? Good luck to you ! :clap2: -
Is the port directly underneath the port incision? I seem to feel it a couple of inches below where my incision is. Is that where it's supposed to be? I have superglue Patches over my incisions and they are starting to get annoying. At what point can you peel those suckers off? I know some of these questions are probably specific to my doc, but these don't seem like important enough questions to bother anyone about. I also food processed 1 spoonful of black Beans, 1 spoonful of rissoto and a cup of chicken broth then strained it. Is this okay on Day 8? I am getting tired of the sweetness of yogurt and shakes and regular chicken broth is losing its luster. What is a reasonabl amount of liquid to drink at one time. I don't want to start off any bad habits, but it seems as though I can easily drink a cupful of liquid. I don't know if this would stretch the pouch or if it all just runs through. I know this a kind of trivial issues, but I am curious. Marsene

What are some good protein choices for pureed stage?
FeelingGroovy replied to BIGMAMA2HOTMAMA's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on 2/7 and also just started the mushies. For Protein I eat tuna, mashed hard boiled eggs, cottage cheese and greek yogurt. I eat about every 3hrs but I also drink Protein drinks between meals. That seems to help. I also eat SF frozen fruit pops if i'm feeling hungry. Good luck! Ally -
What are some good protein choices for pureed stage?
emjay replied to BIGMAMA2HOTMAMA's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree - Greek yogurt is a great protein source. If it is too tangy for you - try and add a packet of Stevia to it. Add a Tbsp of Peanut Butter for added protein along with the Protein Powder. And remember you can always try and blend more solid food to puree - add a light gravy to some chicken and blend - or any chunky soup (Beans = protein). 2 oz per meal really isn't much. I don't think I could have lived on that. No wonder you're getting hungry! You should be pretty safe at 4 oz of mushy and then wait awhile before you drink anything. -
Yogurt, Milk - Dr against both for several months
livvsmum replied to HopeandAgony's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That would have been tough for me at that stage. Greet yogurt was a staple of my post-op diet. It helped a great deal in reaching my Protein numbers. I still have it several times a week -
Oh, Kim, I'm so sorry. I know how that feels - CRAPPY! Keep up the chant "NO CAKE" and have some, uh....yogurt? It's just not the same, is it? Sorry about your evil coworkers - they should be shot!

8Weeks Post Op & So Sick!
diddle106 replied to sweet's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was so just like you around eight weeks. I did well with low sugar oatmeal, and low fat yogurt. I absolutely could not do chicken, tried everyway possible. I still did a lot of protein shakes at this point. Oh ya eggs were my best friend, hard boiled. Key is chew chew chew!! It's hard but if not u end up so sick. Also what I found helped was to take the first bite and then sit for like 2 minutes, it almost "woke" up my tummy. Hope this helps, but really it's all trial and error. Good luck. -
well i think i have to wait till the purred stage for ricotta cheese. but cottage cheese is okay, right? and if so can you eat like sugar free jams with the yogurt and cottage cheese?

How are y'all doing August sleevers!?
whit110 replied to tenseintexas's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had mine on August 17, I have hit a stall as well... but I am still keeping to the plan. I work out 4-5 times a day. My meal plans go like this: Breakfast: Protein shake, or egg, or grits.. I trade off each day Lunch: some sort of protein meat, egg salad with lettuce boat, yogurt, some combination of those Snack: some sort of nuts, or Kroger Carbsmart Protein Drink Dinner: protein meat or a salad...I noticed I don't each much of a lot of salad. I work hard to keep my Water at 64 oz. But I do fall short. How long are the stalls for? Cause I have lost about 25-30 lbs... buy it seems to be at a huge standstill.... what about you guys?

Wow! Fabulous! I had surgery July 13, I love eggs, grits, lunchmeat with string cheese, greek yogurt, i gag down cottage cheese because of high protein...... Good luck in your journey!

6 Months As Of Today!
legnarevocrednu replied to legnarevocrednu's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I would have quoted your post, but this site gets crazy once a few posts are made. At least, on my computer. Anyways, I would definitely avoid the starches. I LOVE mashed potatoes but avoid it like the plague. Also, rice is small and can get stuck in the band (so I've heard) so I avoid that as well. What I eat the most of is greek yogurt, special k protein bars, green tea, salad with chicken, string cheese, and grilled chicken for dinner with cheese or something on top. I do mix it up sometimes, but usually with a day like that, my protein is really high and my carbs are low. I stay under 1200 calories a day. I didn't start exercising until I was a month and a half out from surgery. Your doc approved Zumba? It's definitely a good workout! Congrats on the surgery! -
I did pretty well at Easter dinner. My husband bbq'd chicken and he leaves the sauce for the side. My Mother had a plain fruit bowl, so that was my meal. While everyone else had brownies and ice cream, I had cherry yogurt. My brother's boys are 3 and 14, so of course we had an Easter egg hunt for the 3 yr old. Beautiful day! The highlight of my day was a call from my nephew, the marine. He is a gorgeous specimen at 6'7" and of course in excellent shape....he and his wife both! I had responded to an email from his wife and included a recent picture. He told me on the phone yesterday that when she showed it to him, he said, "that is not my Aunt!". He told me how proud and excited he is for me and just went on and on! It was just fabulous and he genuinely meant every word. I adore him and he is such a wonderful young man. We are very proud of him! The son I never had.... :wub:

9 days post op and on soft foods, anyone else?
Shanna H posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had surgery the 14th and I am already eating greek yogurt and refried beans. I was so hungry the doctor had me start softs. I am down 19 lbs since surgery day. I can't have a fill until the 24th of January to allow more healing time. Anyone else experience extreme hunger? What did you do? -
I made buffalo chicken dip last night. It wasn't as good as the original but it was still really good. I used a cup of Greek yogurt, about half a pack of ranch powder, a can of chicken, a block of non fat cream cheese, and franks red-hot sauce. I just mixed it all together with my kitchen-aid to shred the chicken and baked it for 15 mins of 425. Tons of Protein. One of my favorite recipes right now is just a couple of chicken breasts, a pack of taco seasoning, and a jar of salsa. Cook it in the crock pot for 8 hours on low and it just falls apart. You can use it for tacos, burritos, salads, or just eat it by itself. You can even add Beans and tomatoes and make it into Soup.

lifestartingnow commented on Lisa Marie Humberson's blog entry in Lisa Marie Humberson's Blog
I'm so with you. I totally cried today, because i'm sick of these protein shakes. yuck. I'm 6 days away from the yogurt consistency, but it can't come fast enough. We just need to hang in there, and look at things in the long term. we can do this!! -
9 days post op and on soft foods, anyone else?
mdannar1 replied to Shanna H's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My friend who has now been banded for almost 2 years said just to listen to your body. I am a week post op and have had 1/4 cups of refried beans and mashed potatoes here and there. Also vanilla yogurt has been ok. Eating these things feels much better to my stomach than those protein shakes. For whatever reason the drink goes down ok but after a few min it feels like it expands in my stomach and hurts. Tried some egg drop soup yesterday, thinking the egg would help me get my protein intake and went down and felt great to my stomach. So far so good, but just taking it really easy and just little bits. -
Hi New to the site... Pre-opp jitters
szavala22 replied to dani_nyc's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery is Tues the 29th. I have been on the liquid diet for a week now. I'm down 7lbs in 6 days. I have gotten really creative with the Protein shakes. I can have some broth, greek yogurt, sf Jello and pudding and I've had some cottage cheese. I feel like I couldn't do this 2 week liquid diet for any other reason but to start my lap band journey. I am excited about my new life ahead of me. I have been waiting for it for 6 months now. Good luck to everyone
