Silk makes a dairy-free yogurt, not sure if it is Almond ( my first guess) or possibly coconut, but I saw it in the yogurt area at my Local Wal-Mart.

I had to give up dairy. I miss yogurt, but feel much better.

I am 7 month post bypass and have been at GW for several weeks. Was feeling great and on top of the world. I have exercised since day one and felt good/strong enough to be challenged by ladies triathlon in a month. (1/4 mile swim, 14 mile bike, 3 mile walk/run.) So I have started training. The power walk is not an issue - I walk that far every day anyway, but I have been working on speeding it up. I started swimming this week, and it is HARD after not having swum in quite a while, but I am doing it. My bike comes next week and I will add that in. My problem is that doing the walk and swim every day has wiped me out. I feel calorie depleted, but cannot eat more than 800- 1,000 max per day.I am keeping up with hydration just fine - that is not a problem. I normally fast in the mornings, but I see I cannot do this and exercise hard in the mornings as well. My tummy is not liking anything fatty anymore. Cheese, meat, peanut butter, nuts, etc are making me feel sick. All that feels good is tea, protein shakes, yogurt, cooked squash. I am maintaining my weight (not losing any pounds, which is fine), but I feel like I am getting thinner. How can I maintain a training schedule and compete in this event, and eat what I need in order to do this? Anyone out there who is really upping their exercise and still feeling good? How are you doing it? What are you eating before, during, and after events???? I need some help here. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak right now. I am feeling a bit down and discouraged.

Lots of people become lactose intolerant after surgery. Use your lactase pills. Yogurt is tolerated by some, since the sugar is already digested. Can you get by with yogurt and lactose free milk? I also think the surgery and dietary changes deal a really big blow to the gut biome environment. Try to re=establish a healthy biome with yogurt, real fermented sauerkraut (in Sprouts), root vegetables, broccoli/cabbage, mushrooms, probiotics. Avoid sugar and processed stuff.

When you deny craving it can make you want them more. Keep healthy options for sweet and salty cravings on hand. Real food stage You can make old favorites in a healthy way. No need to add extra calories and gain weight. Make sure my examples fit your food plan and stay within your weight loss calories/macros for the day. (log your food) Try to satify cravings with real whole foods first. Pizza mushroom cap pizza bites or cauliflower crust pizza – add lots of veggies use the meats allowed on your plan. Limit or omit cheese depending on your plan. turkey meatballs dipped in pizza sauce Hamburgers – Turkey burgers – You can buy butter ball frozen patties for convenience or make your own. I place them on a bed of salad add pickles, tomato and onion. Optional olive oil mayo and mustard. Or a lettuce wrapped burger - Chips – Salty cravings crisp veggies dipped in hummus or any low calorie dip – to cut the calories in hummus I add plain yogurt quest protein chips. They are made from protein powder. The flavor is better if you dip them in salsa. I like the BBQ or nacho. I try not to make these a habit. (processed food) I use them as a snack to kick a craving. beef or chicken Jerkey chicken fajitas no tortilla Sweet – Dannon light n fit Greek yogurt - option freeze to make popsicle Protein bar or shake Small amount of strawberries – option dip in hersheys sugar free cholate syrup

Day one of 2 week pre-op liquid diet
Dee2938 replied to IandIalone's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Im on day 3 of the liquid diet and it’s getting easier. The first day was hell, but yesterday and today have been better. I learned to not let the hunger grab hold of you. Have your shakes at the first sign of cravings. Keep snacking on your sugar free yogurts and puddings, pops etc. Drink lots of water. Also I added the plain Greek yogurt and that helps curb the hunger a lot. My first day I was totally miserable, but now I’m managing just fine. I hope it lasts. My surgery is on the 19th and it can’t get here fast enough. -
Any August 2019 people out there?
Lbtnew replied to big_ange's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well said ! My surgery was just one day before you and I was hoping to be down more than I was on my 3 week visit this week however I was so happy to be able to start cottage cheese and pureed veggies yesterday ! I love farina and yogurt but I have been hungry and I am tiring of it. With the new foods yesterday and today I am feeling content. Decided to only weigh on Wednesdays and Sundays -
the first couple of years post-op I focused on turkey and vegetables and just had a tablespoon or two of everything else. I also brought pumpkin yogurt to eat (several yogurt companies make it this time of year) while everyone else was eating pumpkin pie. I've since found some crustless protein pumpkin pie recipes that aren't bad - although I haven't had them for Thanksgiving yet.

the slippery slope and excessive rate of loss
2Bsmaller18 replied to mousecat88's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I added carbs to slow weight loss down but purposely choose food that is not something I used to like or that was super tempting. So I will eat a half to one sheet of a plain graham cracker. I knew I needed the carbs and a little more fiber. If I ate a bagel I think that would be a slippery slope for me. I also will occasionally eat a 1/4 cup of cereal on top of yogurt. It was 85 calories (granola type of cereal). That is besides adding nuts and nut butters, cooking my egg in olive oil, adding butter to veggies etc. I can't increase calories with all healthy foods yet. I still have too much restriction. I too can still lose 15 lbs on the chart and be in the normal BMI but i think for me I would look too sickly. A month ago I was still loosing 2-3 # per week was too quick and was concerned that in 1-2 months I would be getting too close to getting underweight. Besides we are carrying extra skin that the BMI chart doesn't accommodate for so I don't think 115 on me vs someone who has always been thin looks the same. I am more muscular too. Mentally its is frustrating since if I lose 2 pounds over a few days I get panicked that its too fast and I am not in control of it but if I gain 1to 2 pounds then the fear of rebounding creeps in. I have to remind myself that all day long the scale will jump a few pounds but look back at the trend over the last few weeks. Now that I have been able to bounce around and only lost 3 pounds in the past month I feel more in control. I had a thought today that it was like when I was first pregnant; it consumed every thought all day long. Then you kind of get over the newness of it. I think that's mentally where I am. I think it will take awhile of being at a stable weight to forget that we just went thru this major life changing surgery. -
Sick for 2 hours? Is it normal?
2Bsmaller18 replied to 2Bsmaller18's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was cold and felt ta little shaky but that may have been stress. Once I woke up today I felt back to normal. It was Okios lemon yogurt. I think I have had that flavor before but maybe I haven't and it was the acidity or flavoring that bothered me. It's so discouraging and it makes me feel like I will never feel "normal" again. -
Sick for 2 hours? Is it normal?
2Bsmaller18 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I’m 6 months post RNY. I have only gotten sick twice the first month after surgery from eating too fast. Both time it’s what others call dismiss but for me it a sudden gush of salamis like drooling. Tonight I had 2 ounces of chicken and a cauliflower cheese side. I think I ate at normal speed and all was fine. About an hour later I ate most of a 5 oz yogurt I’ve had before. I was almost done with it after maybe 7-8 minutes and felt full so I stopped and didn’t finish the last bites. It’s been 2 hours of nausea and an ache between my shoulder blades. That’s a common thing I feel if I eat fast or too much. Now it’s been almost 3 hours since the chicken and 2 since the yogurt and I just got the foamies and still feel nauseated but the achy pain is better. Is it normal to feel this bad hours later? -
Here's a sample for you that is appropriate for week two. It is about 1/4cup of food per meal. You might not be able to finish your tuna lunch, but you could come back in an hour or so and be able to finish it -- in the early days. Also, don't know if your doc allows you to drink milk. My doc wants us to drink 1-2 glasses of milk per day as part of our plan to get calcium and protein in, but I rarely do it--cuz I don't really like it. You can jazz up yogurt with water drops in different fruit flavors. I like doing plain low fat Greek, cuz then I know exactly how much yogurt I'm getting relative to the additives that they put in it. Also 3oz of swai (pangasius) is a light fish. It is a raw measurement and it shrinks a ton. So this should give you 1/4c of cooked fish (about 1 1/2-2oz cooked). And at first, you will basically only be eating protein and some meat lube (low cal, low carb, low sugar) sauces at each meal.

I need to gain weight
GreenTealael replied to shannonseymour12211968's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Protein shakes blended with banana, nuts, nut butters, oats and full fat milk/yogurt. Also protein bars that are high calorie. Good Luck 💜 -
Congrats on graduating!!!! I had a soft scrambled egg with cottage cheese in it and some cheddar. The cheese caused me issues, but stirring in a spoon of greek yogurt or sour cream and cooking until creamy would have worked better! The egg went down great though!

First 1-2 week foods ideas post surgery
FluffyChix replied to Scorpio1978's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I mostly did protein drinks, watered yogurt down with Fairlife Milk and used different flavors to add punch to it. I did some butternut squash soup, some tomato soup (too acidy for me at first), and a ton of broth and cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soups. I also did won ton soup without the noodles--just broth from a Chinese food place. I'd mix in protein (unflavored) into all my soups while it was cold then gently heated it to no more than 140 cuz I didn't like when the protein clumped when it got too hot. I did not do well with the bean soups/pea soups. Gassy but also carby and that made me hungry. Then SF popsicles and sf jello. Oh and I did a ton of decaf coffee with my protein drinks in it as both hot and cold (iced) lattes and blended frappacinos. -
Some days early on I had an urge to eat. I wasn’t physically hunger, I just wanted to eat! If I couldn’t push past it with fluids, then I ate, but made sure all my decision were good ones. I ate cucumbers with vinegar, carrots w ranch made from yogurt, jerky, lean meats, etc.

First 1-2 week foods ideas post surgery
HipHopDiva replied to Scorpio1978's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I think the premier protein shakes & yogurt gave me crazy gas too! Hopefully I will be able to eat/drink later : ( I do have butternut squash I will try shortly. -
I go to Braums and get the small yogurt twist in a cup. Its 140 calories. I tried halo top last week and its just not for me. You must be careful at 3 months out. I waited until I got to goal or holidays before I ate anything off plan and right back on it the next day. Not everyone can do that and not have issues with relapsing back to old ways.
-
Yes that is boring for sure. I use to buy lunchmeat and roll laughing cow up in it around 2 months. Tuna packets have a lot of different flavors with some cottage cheese, although you probably wont be able to finish at 2 months out. I liked adells chicken meatballs with peach salsa (found that on youtube, you might be able to get 2 in ) Chobani key lime yogurt was and still is a favorite of mine. Any kind of seafood I ate.
-
I'd be bored too. Why are you so limited? Add fish, ground turkey, chicken, seafood of all kinds, canned tuna, chicken and salmon to make salads out of using hardboiled egg, cottage cheese, greek yogurt (plain) and spices with some mustard and dill relish. Lunch meats, veggies of all kinds. Some small amounts of nuts. Some avocado and olives for healthy fats.

I do at least one protein shake a day. 1 cp of soy milk, 5 tblsp of low-fat cottage cheese, 5 tblsp 0 fat Greek Yogurt, 1 scoop of protien powder. Adds up to approx 45 grams of protien. About 350 calories.
-
I found that one scoop of the protein powder I use (PEScience Select) mixes very well with TwoGood Yogurt (80 calories, 2 grams of sugar, and 12 grams protein) it has a texture like frosting. I stick to having protein supplements for breakfast since I don’t have energy for anything else. my nutritionist also said to go off protein supplements at some point but that once a day was ok and suggested mixing protein powder in yogurt and other foods.

Any August 2019 people out there?
Lbtnew replied to big_ange's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congrats to all of us August sleeves! We did it, now that it's officially September I mentally feel it's behind me. Mentally yes lol but my stomach tells me different. I was sleeved 8/15 still on stage 2 so yogurt and farina are the only nondrinkables I've had. I move to stage 3 on 9/5 and can't wait to have cottage cheese, pureed veggies and ricotta. Does anyone have the ricotta bake recipe link ? I understand we all had different protocols for pre surgical diet due to our BMI, weight, individual health issues etc. But I'm so confused as to how all our post op diets vary ???? Even on my next stage I am still not allowed scrambled eggs, only soft and poached which I detest. I guess each surgeon has their own philosophy but I feel most on the boards have been offered so much more. I'm dreaming of scrambled eggs, refried beans, lentil soup etc. But like I said stage 3 starts later this week which will be 3 weeks post op and it's just purees, cottage cheese and ricotta that will be new for me -
How many calories do you eat a day?
JessLess replied to april042019's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
@claricey, you didn't ask me, but I get a lot of protein. Breakfast: 1 scrambled egg, a slice turkey bacon, half a cup of coffee with fat-free milk, a small glass of tomato juice (to take my pills) Lunch: Healthy Choice Power Bowl, or a salad with no dressing and salmon or chicken on top if I go out. Dinner: 5 oz. fish, half a cup of veggies Snack options if I get hungry: Banana, yogurt, quarter cup mixed nuts Water: 64 oz. Almost every meal and snack is built around protein. I was stalled out and just decreased my calories to 800 and started losing again, which means skipping the snacks. But In my first six months, I broke some stalls by eating more. Increasing or decreasing by 100 calories a day for a week isn't going to hurt anything, I don't think. -
To maintain I started eating a small amount of nuts, peanut butter, cooked an egg with a teaspoon of olive oil. I also switched from low fat to 2-4% yogurt, and changed from skim to 2% milk to get some more calories for the same amount of food.
