Yogurt During Full Liquids
Newfoundlove replied to Shun's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You could add some Torani Sugar Free syrups to the plain yogurt while in this stage. I also brought vanilla greek yogurt and ate that without any issues. My NUT told me that the carb/sugar content in the Greek Yogurt is okay as sugar/carbs in dairy is different than sugar/carbs in other food items. -
I mix the following ingredients in a shaker bottle and drink half before and the rest after my walk: Premier Ptotein shake: 30 gms protein 1 5 oz container of greek yogurt: 13 gms 1/2 scoop of vanilla flavored protein powder: 15 gms Total: 58 gms Protein/ 14 oz fluids

How to get protein in early on
arex replied to Beachsprite's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
IsoPure drinks are pretty burly. Try one first before filling the cupboard with it, like I did. Fortunately, GNC happily refunded my money...they're good to deal with. Plain whey powder has an unfortunate cheesy flavor that is very pronounced in a lot of fruit-based drinks. It blends in well with chocolate or vanilla flavors, however. Plus there's the lactose-intolerance to consider. I've been relying heavily on lassi, an Indian yogurt-based drink. Very refreshing in the summer, and high-Protein. It can be made with simply spices and a little sweetener, or with fruit...a "salty" lassi can also be made using cucumbers or bell peppers (strain before drinking). There's recipes out on the web for all of it. There's soy Proteins that come in many forms...tofu, tempeh, miso, and powders. More neutral in flavor than whey. Not sure why soy has the stigma it seems to suffer from...I've always liked it, and it's easy to work with. Miso broth tastes good, and has lots of protein. -
Head Hunger and work
JamieLogical replied to tlemieux220's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you are just now getting back to work, you can't be too far out from surgery and you are already eating crackers and chips?!?! I wasn't allowed anything crunchy until THREE MONTHS post-op. As for eating during the day at work, it doesn't have to be a bad thing. I eat breakfast, lunch, and two Snacks during my work day. I start off by bringing a Protein bar for breakfast (since you are probably not actually supposed to be on solids yet, you could do a ready-to-drink protein shake). Between breakfast and lunch, I have a reduced fat string cheese, which you can probably safely have at this point. For lunch I have leftover meat from a previous dinner, but you could probably do something like tuna or chili? In the afternoon I have Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurt. I mix some granola or kashi Cereal into mine, but you probably shouldn't be having that quite yet. So by eating every two hours or so, I never feel hungry at work. And I manage to get a lot of protein in! -
What is/was your post op diet?
yami17leth replied to Lisa1996's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had surgery 4/13 Was sent home on stage 3. For the first 2 weeks until my post up apt I had clear liquids, Protein shakes and yogurt. Week 3 until my next nut apt in about 3 weeks i'm on stage 4 soft foods. Cottage cheese, fish, salmon, tuna in Water ect. I have been on stage 4 for almost 2 weeks now. I'm trying to make different types of food. YES! I have had to trow away lots of food either because I didn't like the taste or because I like it the first time but not anymore. My tastes have changed a lot after surgery and it does happen to many people. I remember when I was told I had to get used to wasting food as it would be no option after surgery Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
How much fat are we expected to have in our diet?
Babbs replied to LeeRN's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I, along with several other sleevers, don't count fat grams at all...just Protein and calories. Although I do try to eat lean protein whenever possible, I also eat real butter, full fat dressings, yogurt etc....just do smaller amounts. You have to be careful with the "low fat, no fat" thing...there is a lot of hidden sugars and processed crap they use for that stuff! And besides, the real stuff tastes better anyway -
Preparing for 2 week liquid diet😬
SusieQ2019 replied to jenifaoh's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
That's a good idea. Personally I've been eating a lot of yogurt, and drinking plenty of herbal teas. I also have some left over herbalife power that I am finishing up so, I have one shake a day. I am trying not to gain any weight to avoid a denial from my insurance. -
15 grams of sugar is a lot. Not all yogurts are created equal. You have search for low sugar, low cal, non or low fat. My nut gave me a list of the four yogurts that are good and meet our needs.

Its really hard not to be in full regret mode at night. Im 2 weeks out and during the day I'm fine no pain or anything. However, when I go to bed I get about 2 hours sleep and then wake up in excruciating pain under left ribs that goes around to my back. I have been to the ER and they checked my heart and lungs, they checked my sleeve for leaks, they checked me for clots, and nothing. This pain is really unbearable. All I'm eating is thinned out greek yogurt, drinking protein drinks, Jello, drinking gatorade zero, water, and gatorlyte zero, and broth. I'm taking a ppi, gasx, stool softener, and laxative. I dont have a gallbladder, Im sleeping sitting up. I don't know what Im doing wrong. I am really trying to stay positive but this pain is making it hard and making me feeling like I ruined my life. Really praying someone on here has some experience with this and can give me some insight.

Suze58 replied to kafinator330's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have been struggling as well. My surgery was 4/5/17 and I have been doing 2 shakes a day , I'll have 1/4 c of greek yogurt 2x's a day , jello (which I'm finding too sweet even though sugar free. Popsicles...all I know , I will be so happy to move to soft foods. By that time I'll have been on the liver reduction diet for 23 days. No one said this was going to be easy. I have been taking more naps , trying to wear off anesthesia, going for walks , contacting my support buddy ...7 more days before I see my doctor for first post op visit... -
Liquid Diet Struggles
Syaniya replied to kafinator330's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you are a week post sleeve surgery, you are probably cleared for puddings, jello, creamed soups, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese. I was sleeved on 3/31, 1 week today, and I do feel like I am hungry at times. I also dont feel much restriction yet. I can easily eat a 5.3 oz. greek yogurt without a problem. Last night I made Ricotta bake and ate about 5 bites and couldnt eat any more. I try switching it up, between shakes, broths, creamed soups, jello, popsicles, cottage cheese, anything for a change.

Liver shrink... Am I eating to many carbs?
highfunctioningfatman replied to rmarylee09's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
I was allowed unlimited amounts of leafy greens, but only allowed calorie-free dressing. If I recall correctly it's something like 4 cups of leafy greens a day... but only lemon juice or vinegar for dressing. Once again... talk to your nutritionist!Lemon or vinegar here as well but I'm also supposed to get in some plain Greek yogurt daily to promote good bacteria in my stomach. I mix the lemon juice and a spoon full of the yogurt and it is a pretty tasty dressing. -
Well just wondering how those of you who have started their pre-op are doing? I don't "officially" start until Monday but, I did try it today and whoah boy was it hard! I think my biggest problem is drinking plenty of water. I'm not an extremely busy person but I am VERY forgetful and I plain forget to drink. My pre-op diet is not as strict as some I have to have 4 servings of protein drink 2 w/ milk, 2 w/out. The ones not mixed with milk are TOTALLY disgusting I have to choke it down! I''m also allowed low carb yogurt, SF jello, SF pudding, unsweetened applesauce, tomato juice, certain raw veggies, and cream of wheat. I can't do tomato juice or the cream of wheat, I've tried and it's just nasty. I was starving and ended up eating dinner with my kids. It's no biggie as I'm not supposed to officially start until Monday but am worried I won't make it without cheating and I REALLY don't want to cheat but DAMN I was starving most of the day today! So I was wondering how some of you are doing and if you making it through and HOW?!LOL!

So i had my fourth fill on tuesday. I now have 9cc in my 14 ccs band. Im soo frustrated because after the fill i stayed at my drs for 30 min drank 4 cups of Water and everything was fine. Went home and about 4 hrs after the fill tried some chicken broth. It went down with some pain! Ahhh! So the rest of the day i stayed on water only and that hurt too. Wed morning had about 2 spoons of yogurt and that went down ok. For lunch tried some Soup and that was ok. And than for dinner some Jello and got stuck and threw it all up. The reason I'm frustrated is because the same thing happened last month and i ended up getting an unfill. I just don't understand why I'm able to have the water at the dr and than i go home and have trouble. I don't know whether to go and get an unfill again (which i really don't want) or just stay on liquids over the weekend and see how i feel next week. My question is does this happen to anybody else? you're ok at the office but than have trouble at home? I just don't understand it and its making me so frustrated :-( Ps: i was banded aug/2012 and have lost 39 pounds.

I hope things get better for you... I was very dizzy and weak until I started incorporating some more calories.. I would add peanut butter and banana to a protein smoothie or mash a banana into my yogurt... I think the leg pain should be checked by your surgeon or PCP... My prayers and best wishes go out to you!! Please update us when you can...

Band Date July 5th! Hooray!
wishmeluck13 replied to wishmeluck13's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey Lindsey, Glad everything went ok with your surgery! I'm day two postop of my surgery and I haven't been hungry either. Today I've had four sips of Protein drink and one spoon of yogurt. I feel like I've eaten at a buffet. I am sooo full. The main problems I've had is gas. If you do not have any liquid gas medicine please get some. Other than the gas everything else seems ok. Congratulations and lets keep in touch with our progress. -
My nutritionist said to try to stay under 5 or 6. She aslo gave me a list. The one I remember, Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurt. If it isnt sweet enough you can add a sweetner.

Breaking the need to eat something crunchy is a bit odd for me on this diet. I am a crunch-o-holic. I am hanging in there because the end result will be well worth it but crunchy would be nice. My diet is mostly liquid with a bit of fruit, yogurt, and cottage cheese. Rather boring but doing the trick.

Help with transition between food stages
RNBSN786 replied to Tgarden's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
it seems like we are on the same diet. I have not had any pasta, had a few bites of bread but my body doesn't seem to like it. So I have been mainly eating Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, flaky fish, ground chicken, some nuts, eggs, hummus on some crackers and some soft veggies. And I also did have a slice of pizza which took me a long time to eat. I am liking the soft stages of food for now. -

Hello, I am 13 days out and just came from my after surgery check-up. I've been eating small amounts of chicken, tuna, greek yogurt and mashed potatoes since day 9... I told my doctor and he wasn't at all mad, he actually told me that it was fine as long as it wasn't causing pain or nausea. Good Luck!!

Sleeve Buddy need - Surgery date 12/4
sunbunny83 replied to sunbunny83's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@Roadrunner 1 recovery is going good! Finally starting to feel normal. I was really tired and nauseous last week but I got thru it 😀. Finally had some real "food" -- yogurt and some cream of chicken.... nice change compared to all clear liquids and protein shakes. 😉 -
Start the day with ice water and lots during the day ALSO, Greek Yogurt seems to really get me going. I am like you in the subhuman logs, husband taped my name on the plunger.
