As everyone said, nuts and nut butters are high in fat and carbs for a much smaller protein return. So at first, I don't think they are very good tummy real estate investment. At first, I had so many problems with them. They made me so nauseous--cuz of the fat and heaviness of them. But I was able to do the PB2 just fine (de-fatted) and that is actually a pretty good calorie bargain. It mixes well in smoothies and Greek yogurt. Now I can finally deal with an ounce of nuts or 1-2Tbsp of nut butter. But I do make sure they fit my macro goals for the day. It adds all three macros: fat, carbs, protein.

You're doing great! Congrats! Continue with your healthy foods! Don't revert back to eating bad crap. You've now had 30days of clean living to help break that bond/habit. Right? So reverting will just re-awaken and reinforce the habit. Add foods slowly and one at a time. That way you can see and know which food affects you and how. I added eggs first, then a couple days later, I added poached/foil pouch white fish filets. I did well with both. Then I added canned tuna and canned chicken with low cal, low carb gravy. Or made it into an egg salad: 1 pouch/can tuna in water (or chicken/salmon/crab) 1 hard boiled egg, mashed with fork 1/4c cottage cheese (65g) 1/8c Greek yogurt (30g) 1 tsp Dijon Mustard 1 tsp dill pickle relish (optional) granulated garlic s/p Mix everything together and enjoy. I started with eating 1/8c - 1/4c of this every 2-3 hours.

Initially I had the PB powder mixed into milk or yogurt. you can mix it with water to make a great tasting peanut butter too. I am in maintenance now so 1-2 times a week I will eat 1 tablespoon of peanut butter if I need the calories and protein. Early on I would even put 2-3 tablespoons of cool whip in a bowl and sprinkle the PB powder on top and sometimes add a teaspoon of sugar free Hershey syrup so I felt like I was eating a peanut butter ice cream treat.

Nutritionist thinks I should be eation 1000 cals a day!
mousecat88 replied to Briswife15's topic in Food and Nutrition
Dannon light and fit yogurt for breakfast, Chomps beef/turkey stick for snack, BariatricPal Lite Entree for lunch, some miscellaneous protein snack (like Kay's protein pretzels) for snack, then nonfat cottage cheese or a turkey patty for dinner. If I go out to eat, I get a salad. That's it. Very rarely is it anything else. Sometimes a hardboiled egg. Sometimes a few blueberries. That's about it, though. -

I agree with PEGGO, I had to switch to fruit infused water like HINT to get it down. I start drinking as soon as I wake up and have water in hand when I go for my walks and plan to finish 2 16 oz water bottles before 1pm. I find that I've been a lot more successful walking and drinking. As for eating and getting your proteins, I just do it. I plan for the day and prepare the day before. Breakfast 7ish, lunch 12ish and dinner 7ish. I don't snack much but if I get that hunger pangs, 2 tablespoon of plain lowfat yogurt or cottage cheese eases the hunger. Also due to the sour nature of plain yogurt, I drink more water. Good luck, it does get better..🧡🧡🧡 Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app -
Do you know why you can't finish an egg? Im curious since you have an appetite. I'm also on the puree stage, and as someone who does not enjoy breakfast or eggs, I will say they go down a lot easier without the yolk. 2 egg whites scrambled with greek yogurt. Keeps em a bit moist and fluffy and light.

Did you go to Cleveland Clinic as well? I haven’t really tried any dense proteins yet. The closest I’ve come is scrambled egg, and that I can only eat 1/2 off. But puréed chicken chili today and was able to get 1/2 cup down no problem. I’m ok with entire Greek yogurts, too. With ricotta bake I can only do about 1/4 cup. So I guess I am feeling restriction? Maybe just not as much as I thought.

10 months out. My total cholesterol and LDL are both up. But that's likely because I've been having a lot of problems with my stomach, so the only things I can reliably eat without pain are soft foods like yogurt/milk/cheese. So I eat a lot of that, which is likely killing my cholesterol .

Your satiety/fullness feeling will improve with denser foods. So like eating canned tuna will give you more satiety than yogurt. Cottage cheese will give you more satiety than either yogurt or protein drinks. Eggs depending on how you eat them will give you a lot more satiety than other proteins even. The wetter a food is, the more of a slider it becomes. So if you have trouble with meat sticking, one solution is "meat lube" to eat each bite with a low cal low carb gravy. And it goes down easier--cuz it's wet. And by the time you work up to the final stage of lean dense proteins, then you will or should have satiety in place after your appropriate size meal.

Wow! Thanks for posting this. Docs are SOOOO different! They are referencing 3-4oz by weight = about 21g of protein. But the crazy thing is that 3-4oz may occupy as much as 1/2c-1cup of volume!!! That's just nutzo and asking to stretch your tool, hon! Especially in the early days where you don't have a good grasp on satiety and a lot of what you are eating will be sliderish food. You can probably handle 1/2 cup of yogurt. But 1/2cup of cottage cheese might give you some issue. Right? You might do just fine with pureed cream of chicken soup, but 1/2 cup of refried beans will land you in pain before you realize you're full. Right? Hmmm. Dunno how to help here...

I'm 6 months out and can barely eat 2 oz of dense protein and I get a very full feeling. I don't understand why your Dr would advance you to 6-8 weeks at 2 weeks. Personally I don't feel getting enough protein in without shakes/high protein yogurt is possible. Take it slow at your stage. It will be best to allow for the most weight loss. Good luck!

BeeBop211 replied to big_ange's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery August 9th. Recovery is going well, I was up and walking 2 days after surgery. The worst part was the 1st 24 hours, I had terrible nausea for the 1st 12 hours and a lot of pain for the 1st 36 hours. However, the pain faded pretty quickly and I was off the oxy by Tuesday the 13th. I'm down 26 lbs from my pre-surgery weight. I've been going to the gym daily and putting in 45 minutes on the treadmill or elliptical for the last 10 days and that has really kick started my weightloss. I've been losing about a 1lb a day since I started cardio. I started soft foods this week and that has gone pretty well. Eggs and cheese (Yeah cheese omlets) go down flawlessly as well as soft pasta, steamed fish, yogurt and fruit smoothies (Shout out to my Vitamix). I made the mistake of having a little crab meat, that was the only thing I ate this week that made me super nauseous. I'm going to have to wait a few more weeks before trying crab again. I also had a tiny little bite of my wifes steak and that actually went down fine. The biggest change I've noticed is my sweet tooth has been greatly reduced, I had a few bites of ice cream and it tasted overwhelmingly sweet. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the surgery. -
No restriction?
Colorado Cowgirl replied to AnnieD78's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Make sure it is all protein. A full egg is 7 grams of protein and only one ounce in volume. Log your food so that you are getting enough protein. I also ate refried beans at that stage. It's high in protein. Greek yogurt too. Add unflavored protein powder to all your meals including eggs before you cook them. It will help keep hunger away. -
Intermittent Fasting Daily Menu/Results/Accountability

@Sheribear68 So sorry about the sore tooth/gum! WTG on the fasting. Make sure you have feast days. Part of the IF is the INTERMITTENT part. ((hugs)) I do experience less interest in food, the more I do IF. But I still struggle with portions. If that makes sense? Yesterday was a hungry heifer day. No IF. No restrictions on eating. And here's what I ate: 8am 1st breakfast - Psylli Wrap Eggwhite Veggie Breakfast Taco with Cheese (127cals; 12g prot; 7g f; 2g nc) 10am 2nd breakfast - Strawberry Chia Protein Pudding with Nuts/Blueberries (293cals; 21g prot; 14g f; 12g nc) 2pm lunch - tuna salad in lettuce cups with cucumbers (120cals; 17g prot; 3g f; 5g nc) 7pm dinner - foil basa fish with zoodles in lite alfredo sauce and chopped salad (268cals; 28g prot; 11g f; 10g nc) 1st dessert - sugar free jello with greek yogurt topping 2nd dessert - gg brancrisp with lacy swiss and peanut butter (235cals; 17g prot; 13g f; 5g nc = 1st and 2nd desserts combined) Totals for the day: 1043cals; 95g protein; 48g fat; 52g carbs; 18g fiber; 34g net carbs) I'm 134.6lbs today. -
Intermittent Fasting Daily Menu/Results/Accountability
Healthy_life2 replied to FluffyChix's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
This was supposed to be my large meal of the day. Protein 54 carbs 96 I’m questioning if my calories are too low. Time will tell. Dinner with hubby – I’m guessing about 30 mins to eat 4oz of lemon baked salmon, ½ cup of steamed veggies and two bites of potato. (Soft foods) 3 hours later bedtime snack - ½ cup Yogurt ½ of a banana 1 tablespoon muesli. My restriction may be the change to warrior diet. We will see if my volume changes again this month. -
Gosh! What a wild ride!!! What caused the extreme pain? I'm so sorry you had to go through this terror! And so glad you are doing so well! ((hugs)) FYI? I didn't have any complications or problems with pain and my abdomen looked like your's after my surgery too. Lovenox. Gotta love it. It puts on quite a "color show". Luckily most of us can absorb it. And you don't have to "love" the protein period, you just have to figure out a way through it. Try cutting your protein with things that take the sweetness away: 1. Decaff Coffee 2. Decaff Tea 3. High Protein Milk (like Fairlife milk or Fat Free Milk + Skim Milk Powder) 4. Greek Yogurt thinned down with milk to a pourable consistency 5. Water Add unflavored protein to soups. Get soup from the market (fresh) and strain it and drink the liquids. Hang in there and heal well! Walk, walk, walk, sip, sip, sip!!

Hi, it just started this week. I thought it was the protein shake causing it. Yogurt, soup and scrambled egg also caused it. Basically everything I eat. I don't eat anything with sugar except what is in my protein shakes. I'll reach out to my doctor and RD tomorrow and see what they think. Thank you!! Ps, you always have the BEST advice!! ❤

February 2019 weight loss buds
2Bsmaller18 replied to TheMarine79's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Initially my doctor and Nutritionist counted protein shakes and even yogurt towards my 64 ounce goal. I don’t count the yogurt now but still count the shakes and milk toward my fluid ounce goal. I still barely make 50-60 oz/day. Do you count all fluids or only water? -
You can do it! Toss everything thats problematic, find your original instructions and go hard core! They usually look like: Breakfast : water, tea, protein shake Snack: vitamins & meds 😂 Lunch : yogurt, broth, water, tea Snack: jello Dinner: ricotta bake, protein shake, water, tea Snack: popsicle Extra snack: water, sleep 😂 Good Luck 💜

Exercising 3 days a week for 45 minutes each with 20 minutes dedicated to elliptical for cardio . It is hard not to get discouraged but I have focus on goal to get to December where I can introduce healthy carbs and if I can just do 5-8 lbs a month that is another 20 lbs.

February 2019 weight loss buds
Sheribear68 replied to TheMarine79's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Okay so Anna, I’ve seen your recent pics and it’s possible that instead of having 9 pounds til goal, you’re already there. Not saying you should quit, but just saying please don’t beat yourself up if that 9 pounds takes a while. You’ve lost so much excess fat and that coupled with the fact that you were just at 35% BMI on surgery day that it’s gonna be a struggle. My college graduation weight was 132. I was 5’7”, in great shape and was upset because I’d gained 7 pounds from my all-time low from a year before. Looking back I was pretty darned skinny and I felt fat. SMH. My goal will be to end up somewhere in the 145-155 range. Of course I’d feel better about it if I live at the lower end of that range, but since I’m still in the upper 160’s now I honestly have no clue if that’s achievable and/or sustainable. One thing for sure though is that ever getting back to 132 just isn’t realistic and I’d just be setting myself up for a lot of mental angst to even try. Re snacks for your daughter: Mostly that depends on her personal tastes. I’m completely a savory freak. One reason this program is working so well for me is that I love meat and dairy and cheese. My snacks are p3 packs, beef jerky, cheese sticks, a handful of olives and feta cheese, cottage cheese and pumpkin seeds, hummus and pork rinds with veggies, etc... If I have something sweet it turns my hunger into overdrive and I start craving things I don’t need and it takes half the day to get it back under control. Therefore I don’t even dare have things like flavored yogurt or protein shakes or fruit. Don’t even get me started on wine and other alcohol. Sadly those things also turn on my hunger. -
Day 11 post OP. My program went straight to soft foods about a week post OP. I tried eggs once and it didn't go down well so I've abstained for now. I went back to liquids fir a few days and now able to tolerate refried beans, cottage cheese, plain yogurt, fish and even chicken breasts. Quantity is the issue, I think about 5 to 6 bites of fish and chicken and I am full. I'm allowed 1/2 cup cooked veggies OR non citrus fruits with my proteins but I've not done much of that yet. I typically pair my fish or chicken with cottage or ricotta cheese or plain yogurt. No starches, grains, sugar or dense carbs allowed for now and I don't miss it. So averaging 60g to 70g of protein daily, less than 10g of net carbs. About 500 cals (on a good day) daily. Went back to work yesterday, dealt with head hunger for a bit because of past routines with food and colleagues but working through it. Gently trying to get 10K steps per day if able. Surgical scars have closed but feel a pinch on the largest incision when I bend too quickly otherwise it's like surgery didn't happen. I choose to weigh weekly so next weigh in is Friday.

Today I was experimenting with my morning shake and it came out so smooth and rich, it was as sweet and decadent as any fast food shake I have ever eaten that I thought I would share . First the statistics: 295 Calories 3 Grams Fat 37 Grams Protein 27 Grams Carbs Ingredients : 1 scoop milk chocolate shake mix 1/2 cup skim milk 1/2 cup plain yogurt 1 scoop Isopure Unflavored Protein Mix and 1/2 cup Ice. Blend together in your blender. I had mine between 8 am and 10 am (it makes 16 ounces so it takes awhile to get it all down) but haven't been hungry all day. I have been sipping on the Isopure Infusions throughout the day, striving to get 8 ounces down every hour. I cannot believe how good I am feeling so soon after my surgery. I also wan ted to let you all know how glad I am that I found this website and how much I appreciate the postings from you all.

@NightPilgrim How are you doing with your 5lb quest? Are you back on track?? Funny (notfunny) but at 18months, I too am struggling with the desire to eat at night--and eat not so great things!! Or eat too much of a good thing. One thing that is oddly satisfying to me again and is such a small snack that it doesn't hurt too badly is - Sugar free Jello Cups with a spoon of Greek Yogurt or an ounce of kefir poured over it. Use the unflavored and just let the sweetness of the jello flavor the yogurt or kefir. Here was my snack last night and it filled me up and let me quit obsessing about a square of chocolate. You could even have 6 Lily's Dark Chocolate Chips and a fresh strawberry on top for not much more! Thirty two cals is a bargain, right?!! Here it is with about 6 chocolate chips and a medium strawberry. Still a massive snack bargain for the ROI.
