What are you planning on making/eating? Will you just eat the turkey? Will you make some other high Protein dishes? Will you eat a little of everything? I plan on mostly having some dark turkey. I am also making a few high protein dishes....a quinoa dish with powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury cheese mix, a brussel sprout with bacon and parmesean, a waldorf salad made with Greek yogurt, apples, barley, walnuts, grapes. Our friend is bringing all the dishes I can't eat...the mashed potatoes, the stuffing, pies.

UK - Protein Powder / Bars / Best protein food tips please
sam42 replied to Clodee's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I use PhD diet whey protein...you can order through Amazon or at a fitness shop. I am four months out and still have a protein shake every day. Haven't used any protein bars. As for liquid..puree stage...stuck to broth...yogurt...refried beans...I am now eating steak, chicken and turkey mince for protein...and lots of cheese. You will find what you can and can't tolerate. I didn't use anything for gas pains...just walked. Slept a lot first week. I hope all goes well! -
For fruit, it was recommened that I eat greek yogurts with fruit, or canned fruit in natrual juices, and applesauce until I get to week 6. I have been eating the yogurt thus far cause I at least get the 10g of Protein with that as well.

Sleeved On April 24Th
Carole65 replied to juliette669's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi, first off cottage to you, and your new life that is waiting just around the corner!!! My name is Carole, I had my sleeve done on October 20, 2011! In a little over 6 months I have lost almost 110 lbs! I went from a size 24 to a 12 and now the 12 is starting to get big! Everything is just happening so fast! I tried the protein shakes, but I thought they were vile!!! If you can tolerate them, then that is great, and keep drinking! My surgeon said as long as I could eat yogurt, which I could than I didn't have to worry about the protein. My protein is still a little low as are some of my vitamin levels. So please take your vitamins!! My heaviest I was 306 now I am into the 190's. I feel so much better. I had a rough surgery, the day after I had a heart attack, was intubated for 3 days awake... HORRIBLE.... Went back into surgery 2 days after the first surgery cause I was losing so much blood, need 6 transfusions. Then my spleen was bleeding into itself, I know that sounds strange, but your spleen has an outer capsule. So I spent 11 fun filled days in the hospital. People ask me if it was worth it?...... I say yes every time! My life was going nowhere. Now I'll be able to do all the things I couldn't! Even at 46 I am going back to school! And start my life. You can talk to me ask me questions feel free, I know what you are going through! Just hang in there! Take care, Carole -
Feeling Full
PrettySmile4U2C replied to PrettySmile4U2C's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yesss....that is totally how I feel with soup, yogurt, etc.. The only reason I stop eating is because it still hurts once the food is going down or I get really bad acid reflux (or what feels like reflux). Sometimes I keep regretting this decision. -
Once I booked my surgery, the nutrition expected me to start a low carb, high protein diet. So I had a month of that before starting the pre-op liquid. I also start tracking every bite that went into my mouth. Like the above poster, I am very grateful for that time. It allowed me to take a hard look at what I was eating and work out what life will be like long term. I cut out sugar, rice, pasta, bread, potatoes... The carbs I did eat where either from fruits (limited), vegetables, or dairy. I learned that by bumping up my protein, I don't miss the carbs! If I were in your shoes, I would just start making small daily changes. Giving up soda is awesome! Maybe work on your snacks next? Instead of a cereal or granola bar, how about a piece of fruit and some nuts? Or veggies and dip or hummus? Cottage cheese? Hard boiled egg? Wasa crackers are fairly low carb (for a cracker) and might help you slowly limit the carbs. I like them with laughing cow spreadable cheese and antipasto, or tuna or avocado. Try looking for a greek yogurt instead of a sugary brand. Focus on making the small changes consistently and you'll get there! And definitely make the most of the time you have to start creating that new relationship with food! Try not to let other get you down and keep your chin up! You can do this!!

Hi everyone well I am 15 days post op on stage 3 diet pureed foods which my nut has me eating ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, chobani plain yogurt and isopure... I am down exactly 30 lbs today I started at 269 I'm at 239 today but I am really discouraged I miss eating dinners with my family and not feeling like I need to avoid things. I have absolutely no hunger at all but I'm pushing myself to get 70 protein I'm lucky if I get 50 now. I'm 24 and I just want to cry because I knew this was hard but I never expected it to be this emotionally difficult. I feel like I spent my life eating when I wasn't hungry which is why I had to have this surgery but now I'm not hungry and don't want food and I have to push this food down. I never really ate dairy because it made me sick now everything is dairy and I'm struggling. Please help I don't know what to do..

TO MUSH OR NOT 2nd week of being banded
Eveandlauren23 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tommorow will be my second week of being banded my doctor instruction says for me to continue on kinda of a liquid diet???? yogurts,oatmeal,pudding ,shakes ,thick Soups??? But I have been reading post and for others second week is the mushie stage? really confused any suggestions im scarreed that if i do mushie food like mashed potatoes i will make a mistake -
Besides scrambled I had poached, soft boiled, hard boiled, over easy, sunny side up, deviled, essentially any way I could cook an egg I could have it. In addition, I could have mild steamed or poached fish; canned or packet tuna, salmon and chicken plain or as salad with lowfat mayo; vegetarian soy products; cooked cereal thinned with skim milk; nonfat refried beans; nonfat yogurt without added sugar; low salt V-8 juice; unsweetened apple sauce; mashed ripe banana; skim or lowfat cottage or ricotta cheese; mashed squash, white potato, sweet potato. These were all considered a good consistency so none of it had to be pureed.

I stayed away from most dairy because I am lactose intolerant, so I ate alot of the following during my pureed (mushy) stage: refried beans hummus deviled ham corned beef hash pureed turkey chili scrambled eggs pureed chicken breasts smashed avocado (to moisten the chicken) mashed potatoes pureed squash Lactaid cottage cheese (found in health food/specialty stores) yogurt (but very little, i tried soy yogurt but did not care for it) would often top some of these items with a little cheddar cheese for flavor I actually found this stage harder than liquids, but luckily your real close to starting soft foods. I wish you well.

That sounds like a lot of work for yogurt. So it is amazing??

Having A Hard Time With The Words "pureed Food"... Ick!
Katie713 replied to DanaInNewOrleans's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You will find the days fly by....you just have to work thru the stages of eating so as not to overwhelm your new sleeve! Sample of what I consumed in stage 1 and 2 Stage 1 - Clear Fluids Decaf vanilla Chai Tea and my PPI Isopure Clear Protein Drink Crystal Light broth - chicken and Beef Iced Tea SF popsicles SF Jello Stage 2 - Full Liquids Tea & Crystal Light Protein drinks - Chocolate/Vanilla Creamy Soups - strained Thinned out hot Cereal like Cream of Wheat SF pudding & SF Jello SF popsicles & SF fudgesicles pureed and Mushy are the same thing and stage 3 eating... Hot cereal Soft eggs (poached, scrambled) Cottage cheese, Yogurt Refried Beans with melted cheese Soups Chili Beans Vegetables cooked until soft Ground meats (I never ate baby food like foods...I just cooked regular food and made sure it was very soft and chewed well) Good Luck!! -
Can you call the doctor and ask about yogurt? Every doctor has their own protocol but I was able to have yogurt after a few days. I got the high protein Greek ones with low sugar.

I keep a whole grocery store at work. I've got canned goods, honey, teas, raw walnuts, vitamins, soups, pickles, olive oil, vinegar, mustard. Everyone knows the left crisper drawer in the fridge belongs to me. It's filled with fresh veggies (cleaned at home) and cartons of yogurt, cottage cheese, string cheese, baggies of leftover protein. I've always got at least a week's worth of lunch and breakfast items. I often feed my skinny attorney when he's too busy to stop and eat. I swear, it's the ONLY way I've remained sucessful. The one day I didn't have food was the day I slipped and ended up eating Taco Time.

Venting and Questions.....???
DaChanginQueen replied to Megg40's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You can add a couple snacks..it doesnt take much. Have some string cheese, greek yogurt is great and filled with protein, some almonds, deli meat and cheese rolled up anything to add a few hundred more calories a day. -
I'm currently in maintenance and trying to accustom myself to what that means in terms of diet. Yesterday was wonky. I ate all good stuff but too much of it. Nothing ridiculous, maybe 300 calories over maintenance, but I know it can be a slippery slope. I think the culprit was too many slider foods... soup, yogurt, protein shake, etc. I stayed hungry even when I kept eating. I am concerned, however, that my cravings felt "out of control," like they did pre-op. How do you deal with cravings when you have them? Do you have any techniques?

Foamies/Dumping? Esophagus Pain? YUCK!
Daisee68 replied to freelee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You are welcome! And 4 1/2 hours? That's rough! Glad it finally ended. My bet is it was the bacon. Maybe it was too chewy? I'm too scared to try it yet. especially now! One tip for you - try to stick with liquids / yogurt for 24 hours after an episode like that. And then you may need to go to pureed for 24 hours. Dr's office told me things get really swollen / irritated after an episode like this and trying to eat something to un-soft (sorry not sure what else to call it ) could cause the problem again. Works for me anyway. -
I don't technically think I'm ready to have these, but the Gerber Graduates yogurt melts are my new favorite little treat. Those and the cheddar bite things (look like cheese puffs) are so good. They literally melt in your mouth. They aren't bad either. Not high in protein (only 1g) or anything, but good if you need to crunch something!

I love blending frozen mangos and strawberries with greek yogurt the problem is it gives me sugar spike and makes me hungry. What other alternatives can use that doesn't have as many sugars. I don't like the texture of yogurt so it needs to be something frozen and with flavor Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I have noticed after surgery that things containing milk cause nausea/diarrhea.... I'm 9 days post op I started my creamy Soups phase yesterday and it's hard to find anything creamy that doesn't contain dairy products. Or maybe it's just my stomach adjusting. Whatever the case I feel SICK. Not to mention yesterday I wanted REAL food. Sushi being my main craving right now for some reason. Protein and fluids, dear lord they haunt me. I cannot for the life of me get all of my fluids in. I finally found a Protein shake, Premier Protein, that has 30 g of protein in each shake and it also doesn't have milk so I am doing better with protein intake. But the fluids are killer. I was prepared for pain, cravings, emotions.... Not the simplest part. To be able to stay hydrated, which now I see is not simple. It's funny to me that I was prepared for tremendous pain, which I never felt post op. At worst it felt like I had worked on my abs for a good 5 hours the day before. And drinking is what is messing me up..... I really do hope that it is my stomach adjusting back to real foods lord knows I love cheese and yogurt.... I guess we will see
