I wish i had the time FLuffy has to make this stuff! - Try adding ground up peanut butter nuts or seeds - I hate greek yogurt but can handle it with two scoops of peanut butter powder
-
This is what I do...I buy the plain greek yogurt. I take one cup of it, and mix a trial size bag of the Syntrax Nectar protein powder in with it. It makes the yogurt have a nice fruity flavor without any added sugar, and 20 some extra grams of protein in addition to what's already in the yogurt. Yum!

Hi all! First post. I’m 21 years old, 278 lbs and I have my surgery to be scheduled on the 18th. I’m currently on my liver shrinking diet which requires me to drink two protein shakes a day and I can have lean meats and vegetables fruits and for snacks sugar free jello and Greek yogurt. Usually in a day I just drink One protein shake for breakfast , protein shake for lunch and for dinner a baked chicken breast and jello. Well today I messed up and had 6 peanut butter crackers. I feel really guilty and now im paranoid that my liver won’t shrink good enough. Any advice?

Hi everyone I posted on the other old post, then discovered this one. I had my surgery back on Jan 22nd. Almost 3 weeks post. Couldn’t wait to start puree/soft food last Tuesday Feb 4th(My diet require me to start puree/soft food 3 weeks after surgery). No issues so far except constipation. Trying out green tea with mint and I’ll see the results. I also had heartburn and not sure if It was because blended strawberries or because 0 fat greek yogurt. I go nauseous from broths, from my vitamins, and from my protein shakes. Another thing that I’m facing is dizziness, short breath, high heart pulse rate when I stand up quickly or when I climb the stairs (live on the third floor). The good news is that this isn’t because a leak, but because the lack of food. They did blood count for me and everything is looking good. Sorry for the long message. I just wanted to share the whole experience. -

Anyone out there with a Greek yogurt recipe that doesn't contain fruits? I am extremely picky and rely on certain foods for my proteins. I usually blend frozen fruits with plain greek yogurt, but lately the fruits give me sugar spikes and makes me hungry. I hate the taste/ texture of yogurt. So I need a low carb replacement for my frozen fruits. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I had RNY bypass revision after lapband done in 2013 so going into 2 weeks ago (Jan 27th) and I am able to drink Water, only core power protein shakes bc I’m allergic to Whey protein I discovered without sipping also and I am on Presoft foods already per my doctor stating in paperwork if I felt ok to move to Presoft go forward so that consist of Soups, unsweetened applesauce and Oikos Triple Zero yogurt and I have been fine I have appt today for my two week follow up but I had a very bad allergic reaction and I am on three meds to help me not get a ulcer and prednisone(which has not made me hungry😊) to help with the itchy, red breakout. It’s been only two days since I been on the prednisone but I can tell it’s working already still a little itchy but the rash is fading. I think it’s just us healing but the food part is weird bc I thought it would feel major restrictive like the band was but it’s not been that way so far hopefully my pouch is fine. Praying that the doctor states I can start back exercising today I have a treadmill at home and weights but I’ve already lost in two weeks a good amount so you guys are giving me hope! Go Jan Surgery tribe✨💕Thanks for sharing😊 -

February Surgery ?
TheAngryMeow replied to PSquared_vsg's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am day two through my 2 week pre op liquid diet. It's been tough. No doubt. But watching the food Network channel doesn't help 😂🤤 I try to mix it up as much as possible. Straining soups and and eating a variety of low-fat yogurts/drinkable yogurts. Look up what is considered liquid, you can even have pudding! No doubt I'm hangry, but I keep thinking about the other side of this adventure. Think thin! Lol Good luck and let us know how you do! 💪 -

Thanks, guys. I'm not drinking the protein shakes anymore. Ick! However. I'm sure I will use them in a pinch when I go back to work. I do like the Genpro protein powder mixed in soups and yogurt. I'll be looking forward to the energy. -

So, this is going to sound crazy, but I'm not so sure I'm looking forward to moving on to pureed foods on Thursday (day 17). I seem to finally be in my groove now with the liquids! Ha! I'm quite satisfied to drink a cup of soup or broth with protein powder, or drink some greek yogurt thinned with Fairlife milk. Will moving to pureed, then soft foods, then regular, reactivate my former appetite? I know, I know, I told you it was crazy. I'm just worried. I've only felt hungry once, and today, I had to make myself drink some soup. I'm reaching my protein and water goals. I read about all of you eating these itsy bitsy meals and I wonder how in the heck I'll get a minimum of 60g of protein and if I will feel satisfied as I do now. AND I've lost 14 pounds, so I'm a happy girl! -
First off. You are not LITERALLY dying. You are experiencing head hunger. Tell yourself that and name the reality. Do not let your head dictate and reinforce a lie. It is HARD. Dealing with the head hunger was one of the worst parts about recovery and the process. But please, it is very important to follow your doctor's and RD's progression plan. No you CAN'T have any of the things you mentioned--unless maybe you want to put and emergency call into your doc and ask for his or her permission to progress your diet as you are suggesting. It's a short, temporary stage. Work your plan and your plan will work for you. This is the time to take advantage of it. What stage are you in? If I read this correctly you are in Stage 2: Full liquids? Here are suggestions for full liquids: 1. Creamed soups made with Fairlife Milk, spice them up with garlic powder, or your favorite spice. Make sure to strain out any lumps. Eat it slowly. (You can add protein powder to it - unsweetened, while it is cool and get the clumps out, then gently heat to no more than 140degrees to prevent protein coagulation = lumps. 2. Make Greek yogurt, plain unsweetened, and sweeten with your favorite drops with zero cals. Thin them out with Premier Protein or with Fairlife Milk until it is a cream soup consistency. Or get sugar free fat free Kefir and thin it out to cream soup consistency. Eat it slowly. 3. Use broth and doctor it up with unflavored protein powder + flavorings: Pizza = Broth + 1-2 tbsp low sugar, low cal, low carb marinara (strain it before eating) Mexican Tortilla = Broth + 1-2 tbsp mild enchilada sauce or Taco Bell Mild Sauce + garlic + cumin Asian (Pho) = Broth + 1-2 tbsp Walden Farms Asian or Sesame Ginger + Chinese Five Spice Powder + granulated garlic + a couple drops sesame oil 4. Eat a sugar free popsicle 5. Eat a sugar free jello Drink your water and concentrate on getting 100% of your water in! When hungry or head hunger hits, drink a glass of water slowly as you're instructed for your stage, and get up and walk. Then get creative by coloring or doing something that occupies your mind and your hands. Do four square breathing (google it). Get outside if weather permits. Talk to your family or a friend or get busy posting here. Quit watching TV commercials and break up with FoodTV and food channels. You can do this. It's only 1 more week. You have this. Maximize this opportunity. No one every regrets maximizing their success.

Help, I am Hungry!!
Darktowerdream replied to grandmap's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I do still buy certain thing’s although not often. Some people do find them handy for work lunches. The creamy chicken pasta is pretty good. I actually had it on purée just cooked very soft since it’s easy to chew to purée. I couldn’t tolerate normal purée foods. . I like their protein pancakes. I did try some of their protein chips. As I’m supposed to be doing more normal foods. I had half a small bag with two soft boiled eggs. As you advance you can get more creative with your work lunches. in the early stages try things like chia pudding I bought their protein mashed potato mix and I make that sometimes with a small veggie burger. Ie. Boca turky burger 2.5 oz 70 calories, 11 grams protein. I liked it with dr Praeger’s black bean chipotle pollock burger, 2.5 oz 90 calories 10 grams protein but my store stopped selling them. It took me longer than most to eat normal foods. I’m still eating fairly soft foods. my head is tired. But I’m sure there’s lots of ideas. Some people prepare their own meals fresh. I don’t have energy for it. I do a mix of buying a few things from BariatricPal, I buy things like veggie burgers, veggie sausage, if they come in small portion right calories, Egglands Best eggs, plain Greek yogurt or TwoGood yogurt, I mix PEScience select protein powder in yogurt. That helped a lot during purée. As did good culture cottage cheese cups. I admit I treat myself to a little land o lakes whipped topping (sugar free) on my yogurt. and evening coffee. BariatricPal does have protein coffee with vitamins and protein hot cocoa with marshmallows that’s pretty decent. i love using ripple milk unsweetened plain , they also have unsweetened vanilla. It’s plant protein. sorry for rambling. -

Here’s an example of BariatricPal protein pudding, butter toffe is pretty good. You can thin it out as much as you like. I’ve mixed with yogurt sometimes and/ Or with unsweetened ripple milk for extra creaminess and protein instead of just all water. https://store.bariatricpal.com/products/bariatricpal-protein-instant-pudding-dark-chocolate I haven’t tried their protein gelatin mixes yet https://store.bariatricpal.com/products/bariatricpal-protein-gelatin-raspberry it’s very important that since when you first start out your portions are very small to make sure you are getting protein first. They also have protein soups including ones with vitamins. prices might seem higher but your portions are much smaller. Plus you earn points for discounts on future purchases. I don’t buy too often but get certain basics sometimes when they have a good coupon sale. one thing I wish I had right after surgery is their protein shots and protein juice ... You can get a variety pack to try the flavors. I like pink lemonade. https://store.bariatricpal.com/products/bariatricpal-15g-protein-collagen-shots-variety-packs -
On my liquids phase I could have sugar free popsicles, jello and pudding. I took SF pudding and mixed two scoops of protein powder into it. This will bump the protein up and help satisfy you. I also bought some popsicles molds and used them to make protein popsicles out of protein shakes. Just having that helped me. I also had greek yogurt. Dannon Oikos triple zero is good. Just remember to take small spoonfuls and wait between bites. I was taking anywhere between 30 to 60 seconds between spoonfuls.

In the first months, it's all about keeping food really simple and expedient. You will be eating so little that the last thing you want to focus on is cooking and food interaction. So do what needs to be done, simply. I agree with @catwoman7. Use meat lube aka gravies and sauces on the side to dip protein in at first. It helps it go down. I wanted and needed to feel full and feel restriction, so I did choose harder to digest meats (aka dry dense lean protein). But I did use some ready made sauces (low fat, low carb, low sugar, low to no cal). I always had these on hand (frozen in ice cube trays in 1-2oz portions, then put into bags and labeled: Heinz Homestyle Chicken Gravy Heinz Homestyle Beef Gravy Classico Lite Asiago Cream Sauce Central Market Taste of Italy Marinara Light Hollandaise Sauce 99% FF Creamy Poblano Soup 99% FF Cream of Mushroom Soup 99% FF Cream of Chicken Soup Mild Salsa Mild Enchilada Sauce Mild Taco Bell Sauce Then I would just make things like: Foil Wrapped Fish Pan Seared Chicken Breasts Grilled Chicken Breasts Grilled Salmon Ground Turkey Crumbles Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage Crumbles Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage Patties HEB Hatch Turkey Burgers (air fry them) Carton Egg Whites 2% Cheddar Shreds Low Fat Mozzarella Shreds 2% Cottage Cheese Nonfat Greek Yogurt Plain At first: frozen veg & canned green beans, then later switched to fresh and cooked al dente. But by that time, most of the meat lube had gone away.

Hi. I'm five weeks post op. Can anyone check my diet and see if it's anywhere like correct. I'm only loosing 1.5lbs a week. Okay so breakfast....one egg white with chicken.. Snack milk... Lunch chicken and broccoli... Snack yogurt.... Dinner.. Fish and mashed Brussel sprouts.... Snack milk.... Plenty of water throughout the day. Supper... Protein yogurt... Is this correct. All sizes of meals would fit in a ramakin dish and come to about 700 calories per day. Should I be loosing more. Or eating more. Or am I about right. Thanks in advance for your help

Why I Eat When I'm Not Hungry
Darktowerdream replied to Tamarita's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wasn’t expecting such response from my comments, thank you. I keep thinking about this. I’ve never been a snacker, I think one thing nutrition guidelines sometimes make the mistake of including the concept of snacks. I usually have something that’s a healthy version of a treat or snack as “dinner” which is my lightest meal. Compared to lunch. Breakfast is usually tea and half a protein bar. I probably am not a normal eater but I never was. Dinner is usually yogurt mixed with protein powder with a little sugar free land o lakes whipped topping ... or good culture cottage cheese. i do obsess over buying things that I can prepare in small portions. I’m sure others can food prep and portion things out into containers and that works well too. I don’t have energy for it. being disabled I’m home bound so much of the time. And have very limited energy. I try to keep busy with my tablet. I do find myself having the occasional funny dream that I’m eating a lot of food. i had started writing notes on the notes app on my tablet from my nutritionist class. It turned into a daily log of the date, my weight, and the morning of I try to get some plan of what I will eat, sometimes as I go along making sure it adds up to my calories and protein range. I’ve only broken the bank a little bit when I ate out. It’s not easy. I also not doctor appointments and any medical issues. I have a calendar I write my weight on daily. At least the first year. I started with that before I realized I should track my food, calories and protein. take it one step at a time. Eat to live. Have the three meals and if you find hunger strikes ask. Is this hunger? Is it thirst? Is it pain? Drink tea, or even coffee. BariatricPal makes a protein hot cocoa. They even make a coffee with vitamins. I wish the best for everyone on this journey -

Full liquids I can only get in an oz. I have little 4oz yogurts (noose brand) and I can only do 1oz also. Water is the only liquid I drink with no type of sweetener in it and I can drink a 12oz nestle bottle in two hours and be comfortable if I push it any faster I’ll feel like liquid in my throat and burp a lot. I had the sleeve. I think with RNY ur fluids go through faster right? So that’s why u can handle more. With the sleeve ours has to sit until the cable opens. Idk what it’s called I forgot. Starts with a p I think. As where RNY bypasses that part and goes straight through. My surgeon really pushes sleeve only. He is getting patients that had bypass 10-12 years ago and even 5 years out they r having to be converted to duodenal switch. His nurse that has been working with him for many years has had multiple twisted bowels and blocked bowels with her bypass. And unless it s center of excellence or an accredited teaching surgeon. The surgeons lose contact with there patients after the first year. My surgeon has follow up and blood work every 6 months after the first year to year three. And then after year three every year. -

Even liquids you can't do more than an ounce ? I can drink 4-6 ounces of soup no prob. Same with yogurt or something similar. Purees and thicker things are less and take longer but I can definitely have more than an ounce. I had RNY Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk -
6 weeks out - how many calories are appropriate?
loridee11 replied to Fat2FabMyWay's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
We have similar stats and surgery around the same time. I don't have much hunger, but I had a really easy recovery (yay!) and don't seem to have any food aversions or challenges with eating and drinking which means I've been able to push myself to meet my protein and fluid goals from early on. That means even though I'm limiting my meals to 3-4 oz lean protein (usually with light mayo or greek yogurt because I am still on soft foods, or I eat a lot of eggs) and then if I am still hungry some soft cooked veggies, I get almost 800 calories a day. Part of that is because I'm still using protein shakes to supplement I am seeing my surgeon and NUT next week for my 6 week. My weight loss has been really slow the last 3 weeks and I'm hoping it's just a stall and they'll have some advice to pick it back up.
