Hey Chelley, mary s here - I just saw your post...girl are you eating enough calories - yeah i know you can't put it in when you are having a day of pbing But your memu looked really teeny - it looked like 600 calories to me. Do you think you might not be eating enough - maybe your body is in that starvation mode and holding onto your weight? Also, it didn't look like enough Protein - i'm sure dr. miranda can address that better than me... do you like cottage cheese and milk - they are easy to eat and i like mixing yogurt with cottage cheese (approx 28grams of protein/1 cup) - it makes it more substantial. Best of all - good protein sources. Also fish and Beans are good protein sources - i cook black beans until really soft and the blend them - healthier refried beans and pretty easy to get down (though don't go crazy they are still thick). i know others have addressed the hair loss before and I'm sorry abbout that - i'm sure that sucks. I hope you get some good advice/relief with that. lastly my favorite protein shakes are EAS myoplex lite - they ae a bit higher in protein than slimfast and you can mix with milk or Water. The premixed ones are not as good so less convenient than slimfast - you need the blender but the choc and vanilla - killer and tropical flavors really good too. Take care, mary

I eat a plain non fat greek yogurt with a piece of fruit in the morning. Danon makes an 80 calorie and about 12 g of Protein. lunch is either turkey or chicken slices rolled with either sliced avocado, laughing cow cheese, dinner can be salmon, shrimp, chicken, beef (usually the protein from whatever the family is eating). Snacks are 1 percent cottage cheese, lowfat cheese sticks, low fat Peanut Butter, a Morningstar veggie burger. Nightime I usually have a 100 cal. 17 g of protein EAS protein drink.

Just had frozen yogurt with fruit and granola for dinner and I feel horrible because it wasn't a protein packed dinner and probably had too much sugar...I follow the high protein diet closely and eat a lot of unprocessed foods..and I exercise regularly...why do I feel so damn guilty? I hate being so hard on myself but I just can't help it!

Lux bitc h, bitc h, bitc h!!!!! you think you have problems!!!!! this afternoon i couldn't decide between blueberry or strawberry yogurt!!!! you know i'm kidding you bud!!!! i/we are all sad for what you've gone through this past year i've "seen" you and your horrible situation/story on the board in the past i can only imagine what a hard time you went through you have a family - having them have to watch you hurt not a joke - but - you having to watch them dealing with your pain glad things are finally, very slowly, and very overdue - improving 200 lbs down - the very hard way!!! do you mind if i ask you your starting weight, and where you want to end up???? you went through such hard/miserable/painful times........ you should get an award for bravery above and beyond the call of WLS take care of yourself get stronger huggggggs kathy -
My menu: 4 oz of yogurt with 2 tbls granola lunch 4 oz of yogurt with granola snack 1/2 green apple with 1 tbls penut butter dinner 3 oz chicken breast rice - about 1/2 cup Then 1 slice of plain cheesecake - no, it wasn't sugar free Exercise - 20 min of HIIT on the elliptical machine, burned 200 calories, 1.7 miles All in all, I did pretty good besides the cheesecake. What happened here, let me explain myself, I had a single friend of ours over for dinner because I made too much food. (I always think about the single men since they don't have a wife at home cooking for them), anyhow, he felt obligated to bring a dessert - even though I told him not to, he still brought a cheesecake factory cheesecake. So, I felt obligated to have a slice. I should have just eaten 1/2 slice - but no, I ate the whole darned slice. Anyhow, after eating the cheesecake, I headed to the gym and worked off 200 calories. Scale in the am stated I weighed 183 - arggg, sucks~ I will see the number go down, I will, I will. I'm determined! I'm not giving up, I must see the 160 again, soon! I have 100 days or so left until my cruise, I refuse to go weighing what I do now. I want to look halfway decent in my bathing suit you know. Well, I will start checking in more on my journal and updating my menu. This seems to keep me on track better.

I had bypass done on the 13th. I unfortunately got inflammation in my ribs on my left side. Omg painful and uncomfortable but that's the only pain I am in. I use gene pro for my Protein mix. I am only able to eat sugar free Popsicle, Gatorade, yogurt n Jello. I crave sweet foods which I honestly never hardly ate before..

2-3 weeks out, What are you eating?
Tomojac replied to freelee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had RNY June 10. I made the cheese bake this week. It was very good. I also have refried beans with a little cheese, cauliflower, applesauce, greenbeans, and yogurt and pudding. The next thing I'm going to try is roast beef hash. I've been trying to add something new every few days to see how it goes. Still can't do eggs though. -
Soft scrambled eggs and make sure to take small bites and chew slowly. I had an issue with eggs at first because of my size of my bites. Greek lowfat yogurt has been a staple for the longest now. Tuna packs was good but I had to add a lot of mustard and mayo to my canned tuna or canned chicken because it felt so dry going down. Your new tummy will eventually get used to foods but take your time and my dietician said my fluids was more important than getting all the food in, especially in the beginning.

diet 80% and exercise 20% or is it ?
jess9395 replied to AussieSam's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
What do you eat that you eat only protein? Wow - I am impressed that you can drink 100 ounces of Water. I don't come close to that. You eat only protein... that must be very challenging. What are your typical lunch and dinners like?I really, really force the fluids. It helps that my two toddlers have me up every day at 6AM, so I get a very early start. My daily menu is extremely boring! By saying, "I only eat protein," what I mean is, I have not incorporated in any type of vegetables or fruit, or even healthy grains of any kind, yet. I'm 10 weeks out and have no food texture restrictions now, but here's how a day typically looks Breakfast - egg whites with shredded low fat cheese, or a Dannon Light and Fit Greek yogurt or cottage cheese (or any combination of those things, depending on how hungry I am/time of month.) Mid-morning snack - Babybel Mozzarella mini cheese (or two) Lunch - any of these things: steamed shrimp, StarKist tuna pouch, grilled chicken, grilled salmon Mid-day snack (if I need one) - another Greek yogurt or cottage cheese dinner - usually fish/seafood or chicken again, similar to lunch. Lump crab meat, shrimp, salmon, tuna ... I'm a creature of habit, so eating the same things for an extended period of time does not bother me. I know at some point it will, but for now, that's how I'm eating. I'm ever conscious that we have a honeymoon phase, and I'm taking full advantage of it. Right now, I am eating 90-100g of protein every day. Again, something I know I won't sustain forever. But, honeymoon phase. Oh got it. You eat incidental carbs and fat, just don't add them to your diet. That makes much more sense! Thanks for sharing. You eat very similarly to the way I did when j was in the losing phase except I still incorporated Protein Shake supplements because I couldn't eat enough to get my goal protein number without them. -
I'm new, surgery date 1/27/13...

I had yogurt and cottage cheese creamed soups, cream of wheat, mashed bananas -
I am so excited like many of you this has been a very long journey. Actually, I have been thinking about it for 4 years. My sister had Gastric Bypass 14 years ago and lost 197 pounds. SHe has only gained back about 20! I am getting the LapBand because I have had Colon Cancer and my Doctor thought this WLS was the best of both worlds. I wasn't happy in the begining that he wouldn't do Gastric but now I am completely happy I had to wait the 6 months and am now going with LapBand. I am on day 6 of my pre-op diet. I am going through BayHealth here in DE. I was excited at first because in my pre-op folder there was a paper titled Pre-Op diet that was only 7 days and allowed for Yogurt, Cottage cheese and 3 oz of chicken a day BUT then I saw the dreaded paper that had my surgeon's name on it and it was 2 weeks of only liquid! sad times!!!!! I wonder how two Dr's in the same network would have two different prep's? Oh well, my Dr also required a 5-10 weight loss before surgery. I was 5'9 and 260 but at my last visit I was 245. My surgeon was happy but my PCM told me not to dip below 35 or I wouldn't qualify. Thanks for keeping me sane over the last couple of weeks!

I'm not yet 4 weeks out, but I can easily eat 1/2 cup or more of food. I can eat a complete Dannon Greek yogurt or a whole Emily Bites "cupcake" or 1 whole scrambled egg. I keep hearing about people saying they get stuffed after 3 bites. Not me! I also get hungry and I definitely have an appetite. Is this normal? Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I like Dr. Pronce's diet. He puts you on a three day yogurt diet.

How much Yogurt - post op?
ProudGrammy replied to LisaDomalewski's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
hijack alert, hijack alert!! @@BLERDgirl did you eat the yogurt while you were watching the Biggest Loser, or my 600 lb life?? (couldn't resist ) sorry guys took an extra silly pill this morning instead of my vitamins!! ok, back to our regularly scheduled "program" kathy -
I stopped taking the medicin on the 4th day. I just could not continue anymore and strangely enough, I was not dizzy and austere bymore. I take the magnesium every once in a while when I feel bloated and it helps. I am just being extra careful and making sure I keep up with how I feel during the day or after I eat.. As dude said, I can not even look at a box of broth. I had some in my room the other day and I nearly threw up from the smell of it. I open a tiny cup of activia yogurt and eat it through out the day. Last bit of it I have just before sleep. I got the protein shake and it's disgusting. I can not have that either. Today I tried two servings with natural and sugar free apple juice. I know I won't benefit from it much but I wanted to put something in my stomach since the lack of energy is really getting to me. I did not have sugar or juice for the rest of the day. The shake was alright but towards the end of it, I could not soo anymore.. I ate two straws of ramen noodles yesterday. I wanted to see if I would feel sick which I didn't.. Today I bought some mushroom soup and put lots of water in it. It tasted so so good but I didn't want to push my luck with it so only a couple spoons ful..I was feeling satisfied already which feels amazing.. I don't recal ever feeling ful before. One week ago on this day, I had my surgery. I know I did not take my time with the clear liquid phase but everything I was having, I either hated too much or included sugar and that can't be good.. Transitioning right now but being very very very careful.. So far I haven't felt sick from anything I have eaten except one time I had a tiny spoon ful of solid split pea accidentally. I forgot for a moment. I felt nauseated and dizzy but it was over shortly after. In the mornings when I wake up, I feel like my tummy hurts a little as if it would from hunger. I sip a little Gatorade and it really helps. Starting to feel better.. For those of you who have come out of the surgery recently, hang in there.. Things will get better soon!

Only 35lbs lost in 3months - feeling discouraged
avatarkorraa posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey there everyone, I'm currently about 3 months post op VSG and I had my surgery on September 19th. My highest weight ever was 310 pounds about 3 years ago. I started my pre-op liquid Optifast diet at 285 pounds and was on it for 3 weeks, got down to 265 on the day of surgery, and I'm now 230 pounds 3 months out. So I've only lost 35 pounds since my actual surgery. I'm feeling quite discouraged because I feel this is a very slow loss for someone 3 months out. With regards to my eating habits, I weigh absolutely all of my food and am consistently getting between 60-80grams of Protein and anywhere from 600-850 calories a day. I can eat a little bit more than I could a few weeks ago, and I can get in about 3oz of lean protein in one sitting. However I can eat about 5-6oz of food spread out over a few hours. So sometimes I'll weigh out 4oz of meat and 1-2 oz of veggies with some cheese or hummus and eat that over 3-4hours to make sure I'm getting in enough protein in a day. I do this because I'm trying to get all my protein from food and not have to rely on Protein shakes or bars anymore. Occasionally I will have a Protein Bar occasionally and I usually add protein granola to my yogurt. Some things that I eat on a regular basis are greek yogurt, hummus, cheddar cheese, almonds, beef Jerky, chicken, beef, eggs occasionally, and vegetables like broccoli or brussel sprouts. When it comes to Water I'm getting in about 1 - 1.5 liters a day. Also, here is my fitnesspal where I've been logging everything I've been eating everyday for the past 2.5 months since I started pureed foods: scale Any support would be great, thank you! -
I have 2 weeks of of full liquids yogurt, oatmeal, cottage cheese, and cream of wheat, thin sliced potatoes were added to the diet. I'm on day 2 and oatmeal is getting old fast. Anyone have any recipes or ways they spruced up the diet without it being so plain?

So Much Head Hunger, How Do You Slay The Dragon?
katrina81 replied to Ms skinniness's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When you are bored put on some music and dance or sing you won't think about food that is what I do and it works! I only had a yogurt and water today never felt hungery head hunger didn't get to me today. -
I enjoy frozen yogurt once in a while as a special treat-- but I would never buy it to keep in my house. It would only make me want more.

Well I used tescos own version of slimfast drinks but added yogurt to them in the blender. You can also buy Protein powder and add a scoop aswell. So for instance strawberry flavour shake, a strawberry low fat yogurt and a scoop of Protein Powder. The more protein the longer you feel full. They also have vanilla and chocolate ones. You can also buy complan in most supermarkets which is basically a build up drink but can be used as a sole source diet. I added protein powder to it. The protein powder can be bought cheaply at holland and barret etc Hope this helps :sneaky:

Herbs to heal the stomach more quickly
Vic R posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Are there any suggestions out there for supplements to take to help the stomach to heal more quickly and with best results? My 3rd day post op and I feel pretty good. Able to keep soft foods and clear Soups down. Had apple sauce and some baby food yogurt today and all is well.
