@BayouGirlMrsS on the paper I have it says that they have a high fat content, that’s the reason why. I managed to get a protein shake down yesterday so that was breakfast. They were making me nauseous after surgery. I’ve been eating the Dannon Light and Fit yogurt but I’ll have to try the one you mentioned.

did you get to ask your dr. why you can't eat those? It seems to me that all you use to eat, you should be able to eat. Except for the muffin. I would watch the halos, some times the skin is hard to digest... this is why i get them from the can or cup (no skin). Yogurt is good.... I don't really watch my carbs/sugar in the am and i will burn them off during the day.... this is why i have no worries about eating this yogurt.... I just can't stand the aftertaste in my mouth with the fat free or low fat ones.... https://www.liberteusa.com/products/

Raw vegetables - which ones and when?
NovaLuna replied to rjan's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hmm. It varies for different things for me. I've gotten nausea with some things. Stomach cramps with others. Gas. Diarrhea. It just depends. For example, I don't deal well with sucralose or fake sugars (though I'm okay with stevia) and it's way TMI, but you asked so... I get really REALLY bad gas. My stomach makes noise and EVERYTHING. And then it ends up with diarrhea so... no fake sugars for me! 😅 I was bad with dairy for a while, but I tolerate it better now than I did early on, which is good because I love my cottage cheese and yogurt! I haven't tried jello since liquid phase because it caused indigestion for me and it was painful and super uncomfortable! I tried it twice in the hospital and twice and home and was so done after that. On the bright side... I have yet to vomit. Everyone was telling me I'd for sure get sick and vomit and I'm almost two and a half months out and haven't vomitted even once. So I say HA to all those who told me I'd get sick! -
@BayouGirlMrsS I like grits but not when they are really runny. I tried them during my soft food phase and they didn’t sit well with me, probably because I made them too thick, so I haven’t had them since but I may try again soon. Before surgery I would eat an English muffin and sausage for breakfast, or vanilla yogurt and blueberries, or 2 of those halos and bacon. If I had a heavy breakfast it would be on the weekends. That’s another thing I struggle with is eating at my appointed times. I start working and the next thing you know so much time has passed. Someone suggested I set alerts through my amazon echo so I may try that.

completely understandable... we all have our likes and dislikes..... what about grits? You may have to stick with smoothies.... Try the yogurt i suggested.... i hate all the others. This is the only one i like. What did you eat for breakfast before SX??

@BayougirlMrsS thanks for the feedback! I should have prefaced my message by saying that I don’t eat bacon everyday. I mostly do yogurt and fruit but it’s tough eating the same things over and over. I am determined to make this tool work for me and I am not veering off the track too far with lots of things I shouldn’t have because that’s how I got here in the first place. I know this battle is 95% mental but it has been tougher being at home every day and maintaining a routine. If I was at work I could only eat what I brought but I know things won’t always be easy. Just taking it day by day!

Hi! I had my surgery on 2/27/20. I usually have greek yogurt for breakfast with a piece of turkey bacon or real turkey breakfast sausage... no problems. I have loss 30 lbs since surgery.. all together 48 lbs counting 2 week pre surgery diet. I too was over 300 lbs.

i'm just curious as to why no meats for breakfast? Did he say why? I wasn't told that for either SX... Not the band or the sleeve. I eat bacon in quench. and i eat less than half a piece on the weekends. #1... sleeved 8/28/19... i averaged 2lbs per week. This is a revision for me, SW was 173.5, today im holding at 129 which is where i have been for about a month. I found that sometimes i would go a week or so at the same and then BAM.... loss... 2-3lbs.. #2... i do eat bacon and sausage and i eat ham and cheese roll-up sometimes for lunch. #3.. i wouldn't call it cheating. I call it a blip... Everyone has "blips".... it's all about recognizing them and stopping them. But i can also tell you the people that are just starting out eating chips, ice cream, candy from the beginning are the same that in a few years that will be on here saying....... My WLS didn't work..... I've seen it a thousand times..... I've been here since 2009... Start off correct.... and if your dr. says no bacon... he must have a reason. I don't like cottage cheese either.. yuck... I know you said NO eggs (most everything has eggs) or bananas.... how about oatmeal? I avoid pancakes and waffles... as they are not really good for you. How about peanut butter? How about pears? i eat them a lot. i also eat mandarins from a cup or can... I sometimes eat with ricotta cheese. I eat regular yogurt... not fat free, not low fat as i just don't like them. I love the Liberte' brand.... you have to look hard for them as they are not in every store... we have them in Krogers where i live. They are the best i ever ate....

I tried both.. because even lactose free milk will cause me to have diarrhea.. we mainly eat fish, goat and chicken.. those 3 types of meat don’t usually have much fat in them I forgot to add .. the only type of dairy I have is Greek yogurt and not on daily bases.. it’s usually added to salad (like in tzaziki) .. maybe once a week

I had RNY rather than VSG, but 22 lbs down is about where I was at that point, and I also started out at over 300 lbs. there are so many factors that influence your rate of weight loss, and most of them are out of your control (age, gender, metabolic rate, starting BMI). The only thing you DO have a lot of control over is commitment to your clinic's plan. At almost five years out, I can't eat a lot in the way of fatty meat like bacon and sausage because it makes me feel like crap. I can have a piece now and then, but that's about it. I don't think I ate anything like that the first year or so post-op. I usually ate Greek yogurt for breakfast - but I know you said you're tired of that. some people eat non-breakfast foods for breakfast, like chicken breast or deli turkey slices with a cheese stick or something along those lines.

Hi all, I am 6 weeks post op and I am having a really hard time with breakfast. Per my surgeons guidelines, he recommends avoiding bacon, sausage (even chicken), ham etc. but my issue is that I hate eggs! So I am tired of having protein shakes and yogurt for breakfast. I also don’t want to eat chicken or seafood every morning. I’ve had some bacon and I’m wondering if I am “cheating” and messing myself up. I hit a stall at 3 weeks, had my menstrual, and went up! It finally broke last week and I lost what I gained but it just doesn’t feel like I’ve made any progress in weeks! I’ve lost 22 pounds since surgery on 2/24 and with my 2 months coming up I feel like I should have lost at least 30 since my starting weight was over 300 pounds! Here are my questions: 1. For those who’ve had a VSG what was your average weekly and/or monthly weight loss after the first month? 2. Do you eat bacon, sausage, or ham for breakfast? 3. Have you cheated and still lost? Thanks in advance for any advice you can give because I am going crazy!

It’s week 5 for me, and I’m having the same problems: can eat very little one day, feel slightly nauseated, but it subsides. Then some days feel great, but still eat vey little. I find it difficult to drink water it makes my stomach feel empty, only protein shakes, yogurt, smooth cool foods are soothing to eat. I find very little delight in eating, even when it’s food I enjoy. I can stomach soups: pea, lentil, chicken, but no more than 4oz at a time. It’s a struggle.

What do you eat in a day to get 70-80 G Protein
WellnessWarrior replied to loridee11's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi there! Admittedly, most days I do start my day with a premier protein mixed in cold brew coffee, so that is 30g there. But, I usually will have meals every 2 hours and always build them around healthy protein. If I don't have a shake for breakfast I have eggs scrambled with cheese and turkey. AM snack will be string cheese and 1 oz deli turkey, lunch is usually rotisserie chicken salad or tuna salad with reduced fat triscuits. PM snack is greek yogurt (Oikos brand has 15g protein) with cheerios. Dinner is beef or fish (2-3 oz) with potatoes or veggies. It would be challenging to get my full 7-80g without premier protein, but when I don't have it I just make sure I'm eating frequently, high protein foods. -
My surgeon’s website has my nutritionist’s presentation on it. She lists a lot of great foods you can have. I’ll paste the link below. It has foods for each phase. Here is what I had: Canned tuna, baked salmon, canned chicken, refried beans, bean dip, hummus, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, canned pumpkin with cinnamon, pot roast, boiled carrots, peas and green beans, chicken thighs pressure cooked and shredded, yogurt of course, boiled eggs, avocado, pico, and boiled or steamed cauliflower and broccoli. I do my pot roast and chicken thighs in my instapot. It takes about 45 minutes for the roast and 30 for the thighs. Much faster and just as tender. I also had taco meat and spaghetti sauce made with ground turkey and diced tomatoes. Here’s the link: www.tlcsurgery.com From the menu, click on Patient Resources and select Nutrition Class For Weightloss Surgery Patients in the Nutritional Resources section (bottom right just above the videos). Soft foods starts on page 85. I hope this helps. Take care!

I started back with strength training and cardio 3 months after my surgery. I too was easily tired. I realized that I had to be more stringent with my protein to feed my muscles than ever before. I was so tired that I started skipping workouts. 6 months later, my body pulled from my muscles for the protein it needed. I lost weight like crazy, but I lost all of my muscle tone. I realized I wasn't drinking enough protein. So now, everything I eat and drink everything has a high protein count. If I am not hungry, I sip slowly from a protein drink. Isopure Isolated Whey and Gold Standard Protein Whey are my favs! I still drink a protein drink mixed with black coffee for breakfast and a drink in the afternoon mixed with black Okios Zero vanilla yogurt. My goal each day is to have a drink @ 50 grams each twice per day. This should help with fatigue during your workouts. Try a pre-workout powder for energy. Good luck!

is there a dietitian at your clinic? If so, I'd consider scheduling an appt with him or her to discuss your eating If your program requires an ultra-low-carb diet, then they're not going to go for the Ritz crackers at all. My clinic's diet was mostly a balanced one, so that although crackers would have been *OK*, they're not your best choice from a nutritional standpoint. You only have a limited amount of space in your stomach now, so you need to eat things that give you the biggest nutrition bang for the buck. Protein, vegetables - maybe a small serving of fruit now and then (like a few berries on your yogurt). Ritz crackers have very little nutritional value. and 300 calories is too low for where you are now. I was eating around 600-800 from about where you are until I was almost a year out. I know you're not hungry - but you do need to eat a bit more and also eat more than one meal a day. Your body needs the nourishment. Hunger comes back for the vast majority of us sometime during the first year, so no worries about that (actually, I LOVED not having hunger and hoped and prayed I'd be one of the lucky few who never gets theirs back, but no -- mine came roaring back at five months post-op). Until then, think of your body as a machine - like a car - that needs gas now and then to keep going. when do you meet with your bariatric surgeon next? I had post-op appts every three months that first year (and once a year thereafter). You should talk about some of the things you mentioned with him or her. It sounds like you need some direction.

Still can't eat much 4 months post op
AFoolsParadise posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My bypass was done in December but I still can't eat much. I basically eat hummus, yogurt and cottage cheese because they are the only things I can keep down. I have pain when swallowing liquids or eating certain foods. I know with the first couple bites if I am going to tolerate a food item and most times I just give up and go without. I throw up at least 3 days a week and usually continue to throw up for hours.. long after my stomach is empty. Anyone else experience this? I had to cancel an appointment with my surgeon due to covid19 concerns ( I am immunosuppressed due to lupus. ) -
January 2020 Surgery Folks
PostVSGandKeto replied to TattooedSeaStar's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That's so weird cause I've been having the same issue. Even water is sitting poorly and leaves me burpy. I decided to try a reset and yesterday I did all liquids, water and shakes. Today I think I'll stick to soft foods (I'm thinking yogurt and eggs:)) and I'm hoping that will do the trick. Tomorrow's my weigh in say so a cleanse can't hurt... -
I'm just lucky to like eggs and cottage cheese. 😂 Greek yogurt is a great choice, but personally, I got tired during the fluids phase of everything tasting sweet (even if sugar free). Have you tried an unflavored protein powder? I really like it because you can add it to various things. You can also use tofu like that since it doesn't have much flavor. Like I just found this recipe for mashed potatoes with tofu. https://passtheplants.com/protein-packed-mashed-potatoes-and-vegan-gravy/

Mine was eleven years old and even though I had no fill in mine and was still vomiting almost every time I ate. I could only get things like ice cream, pudding and yogurt through it. I went to a different surgeon (the one who did the band moved away about 5 years ago) and said it had to come out because eventually I wasn't even going to get water through it. During the band removal and revision to a RNY they discovered that the band had slipped, and the slip caused a hiatal hernia. I had this done a bit over 4 months ago and weigh less than the lowest weight I ever got with the band. If your surgeon doesn't want to consider removing it, maybe you should consider finding another surgeon who will work with you before it gets worse.

What do you eat in a day to get 70-80 G Protein
Arabesque replied to loridee11's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It can be hard to get in the protein without consuming protein shakes or adding protein powder to drinks & food neither of which I do but it can be done. My minimum daily goal is 50g. I consider this a bad day but it still exceeds the 0.8g per 1kg of weight min daily requirement. I try to aim for 60g+and on a really good day, I can hit 70 or 75g. My dietician is happy with this & my bloods are good. Eggs, high protein yogurt, seafood, beef, etc. help. I also try to ensure at least one of my two daily snacks has about 10g of protein too: tuna or salmon frittata muffins, cheese, protein bar, etc. I should add I’m not overly active - no marathon running or weight training for me - for many reasons but mainly because I struggle to get the calories in to maintain my weight & that’s my focus at the moment. -
February 2020 Post-Op Thread
DenverGirl88 replied to ResaRoo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I like to workout a lot so I don’t think it’s too many calories at all. I’d checked with my nutritionist and she said I’m rocking it. I also didn’t want to lose muscle mass or my hair so those calories are all from lean protein and veggies or some dairy like Greek yogurt. If I ate 400 calories I think I’d be too weak for much else but my activity level and energy has been pretty high even when I was 3 weeks out. My weight loss has been super steady, no stalls yet and that with having got my period currently. I didn’t even put any weight on for it like I normally would. -
My doctor recommended the Ricotta Bake for puree and it was delicious. But, again, every doctor is different. I felt I was eating normal again with it lol. Though I also would have pureed tuna and chicken as well. And yogurt (no need for puree for that)
-
I don't know about drinking probiotics, but I do take a daily probiotic. Talking with my nutritionist, she said that since I really don't like or consume much yogurt, that taking a probiotic would not be a bad idea. Otherwise, like my girlfriend does, if I ate a decent amount of yogurt, I probably wouldn't need it.
