Recommended Posts

I have run across some very high Protein low sugar yogurt. It's called SIGGI'S. I found it at Wegmans. It's Icelandic style yogurt and it is pricey but it has 14 grms protein and only 9 sugar. Very thick and creamy 8 flavors.

Dannon and Yoplait both now have low sugar Greek yogurt. The strawberry and vanilla flavors only have 7g sugar. Other flavors too, but I didn't look at those.

WHERE DID YOU GET TURKEY PEPPERONI?

living4myself_gb1-21-13:

I get it at Harris Teeter or food Lion, but I think most grocery stores have it. Look where the bags of pizza pepperoni are, Hormel makes turkey pepperoni. It has been a great treat. I toast it in the toaster oven. Crispy, salty, and all Protein.

Aside from those who are on their liquid diets, I feel like I am eating so limited/restricted compared to others who are on on the pureed foods stage like me. For one I am scared to try new foods. I've gotten sick a couple of times already once from eating eggs and once from eating pureed (canned) split pea Soup.< /p>

My instruction packet says that by now I should be eating some soft foods but when I contacted my surgeon the other day she still wanted me on mushy/pureed foods. I'm glad I have an appointment With her next Friday.

I'm scared to try new foods but at the same time I miss eating and I am left feeling hungry only on pureed foods.

Today I had 4 ounces of 2% cottage cheese for Breakfast, 2 ounces of chicken broth & one 8z. carton of Muscle Milk for lunch and I may have 4 Oz lentils or chick peas for dinner.< /p>

Not enough protein!

I'm going back through the forums getting so ideas, can't wait to try the buffalo chicken cupcakes! I feel sometimes Im not eating the right things.. But I was told if I can tolerate it (like bread or pasta) to eat it.. I can't eat very much at all.. but I eat alot of string cheese and try to eat my Protein before anything else that I make for dinner. I think I'm going to start getting sliced deli meat to eat with my cheese because I'm struggling getting my protein in. My hair is falling out as a result of it.. so hopefully I can get this all figured out, I had surgery 10/31/12-- so its not like I'm a newbie at this, just some days are better than others. I eat alot of crackers, and cashews and try to eat a Protein Bar once a day, but I'm getting tired of those! I don't like the drinks either. When I want something sweet, I eat teddy grahams. I appreciate you all posting ideas, I'm going to try the morningstar sausage and boca burgers. Thanks again!

Tonight I'm making Philly cheesesteak-style sloppy joes. It's ground turkey with peppers and onions and melted provolone on top on a whole wheat roll (for hubby, no roll for me)

Here's the recipe: http://www.emilybite...-joes.html#more

Ive made these before I had surgery, very good.. I'll try them again too, just without the bun this time! :)

Yes. I roast them in the oven before I grind them. I love cumin and this makes it rich and warm and toasty.

I found Kashi made a pizza 15 grams of Protein a slice. Now I could I only eat a small sliver but it was good. I've been wanting pizza so I satisfied my craving healthier. Problem is super thirsty afterwards

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
