It was 101 total grams of protein. Breakfast: Protein shake (17g) Morning Snack: Reduced Fat String cheese (8g) Lunch: Leftover Wendy's Chili w/ .5 oz. of Reduced Fat Cheese (12 g) Afternoon Snack: Leftover Lobster Bisque with some Reduced Fat Cheese (11g) Pre Work-out Snack: 1/2 Whole Wheat Mini Pita with 1 TBSP Hummus (4g) Dinner: Shelly's Ricotta Bake 1.5 servings - I usually have 1/6th of recipe but last night had 1/4th (19g) Evening Snack: Protein Shake (30g) This is what I plan to eat today. It's 90 total grams of protein. Breakfast: Protein Shake (17g) Morning Snack: Reduced Fat String Cheese (8g) Lunch: Scrambled Egg w/ .5 oz. of Reduced Fat Cheese and Taco Sauce (10g) Afternoon Snack: Dannon Fit & Light Greek Yogurt (12g) Pre Work-out Snack: 1/2 Whole Wheat Mini Pita with 1 TBSP Peanut Butter (6g) Dinner: 4 oz.

What Damage Have I Done?
Bronco0605 replied to lose.n.8's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Every doctors plan is different. When I come home I will be on full liquids which includes the yogurt and milk but not the ricotta. Are you on full liquids or only the protein shakes? -
2 weeks out, what is the pain???
Boredoncemore replied to Boredoncemore's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think I will try some Maalox or something...finally after 4 days of pain I can finally think of trying some mushies...I really didn't do any full liquids, nothing that sounded or tasted good to me, I've lived on Isopure and water! I'm hoping it was just eating a semi solid food and it freaked my stomach out. I can't imagine how 2 ounces of yogurt done that--but it hurt like *&^%! Now I'm just scared to eat anything, I'll be glad with my period is over and I can tell which pain is from which problem! Last night sleeping was awful, the past 4 days I've had to take 3-4 hot bathes and showers to relax my body, it is so tense from the pain. UGH! How did I manage to do so well for 11 days??! I was eating mashed potatos just fine and then BOOM--no no! -
I use unjury protein powder. I find that if I make a shake with the powder and milk that it doesn't agree with me. It tastes better to me and doesn't make me feel ill if I use unsweetened almond breeze with the powder. Also like to mix the unjury chocolate powder with 8 oz plain decaf coffee and add some ice. I only use plain Greek yogurt with less than 5 g sugar. Chobani and Sigi Icelandic. Are both good. Make a smoothie with the Greek yogurt (1/2 cup) and 1 cup frozen mango and 1/2 cup water.

SOLID FOODS??? and swelling
ParrotheadCathy replied to arellano8's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Swelling depends on the individual. Mine went away pretty quickly, but some people take weeks. I was able to start adding "real" food after one week of mushies and within two weeks was eating normally. How about yogurt, SF pudding, cottage cheese, runny mashed potatoes, SF popsicles? Spice up your foods? Well, huevos rancheros (eggs with salsa and cheese), go easy on the salsa and use the runny stuff rather than the chunky. Put a little cinnamon in your applesauce. Add some of that runny salsa to your refried beans. If you like spinach, cook a box of frozen spinach, puree it in the blender and add salt, pepper and a little lemon juice and top your fish with it. Hope that helps. -
why am i not losing?
Pammy S Lewis replied to Pammy S Lewis's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i got my band on 3/15. my dr said everyone is different and stalls happen. didn't say much else. the nutritionist said to play around with my calories, which i've been doing but hasn't helped. i haven't had a fill yet and may not need one for a while because i have pretty good restriction. to eat 900 cal a day, i have to try. here's what i'm eating, if any old timers want to comment. i just added veggies, so i'm still working on adding those in. i need to eat Snacks or i get hungry. also, if i don't my calories are too low for the day. breakfast: 1 poached egg and 2 oz of black Beans snack: low carb yogurt, 80 cal lunch: 2 oz black beans and 3 oz chicken snack: baby bell cheese dinner: 3 oz chicken and veggies -
Surgery Tomorrow, What Should I Expect My First Month?
Katie713 replied to KLNorrod's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Obviously how one feels after surgery is different for everybody. I was lucky, not too much pain just some discomfort, I was walking around the same afternoon. The gas pains are annoying but they go away fairly soon. I had a specific plan to follow for the re-introduction of foods. One thing will remain the same, try to get in at least 64 oz of liquids every day and 60-80 grams of Protein. Most people start with a couple of days of Clear Liquids, Isopure for protein (you can buy it at Vitamin Shoppe or GNC) decaf coffee and decaf tea, all sugar free non-carbonated drinks, chicken, beef or vegetable broth, SF Jello and SF popsicles.....after that full liquids including regular Protein shakes, creamy soups, thinned out hot Cereal, thinned out yogurt, SF puddings, jello. After 2 weeks, move to pureed or mushy foods, hot cereals, softly scrambled eggs, soups, softly cooked meats and veggies (think crockpot meals) yogurt, cottage cheese with fruit, refried Beans with melted cheese, chili beans, mashed potatoes with canned chicken and gravy, tuna and any soft fish, stuff like that. At this stage of the diet, I was still drinking 2 protein shakes to meet my daily goals and lots of decaf hot and iced tea. At 4-6 weeks start introducing more solids, start slowly and see how you tolerate foods, move toward being able to get in at least 4 oz of a solid protein, then a non-starch veggie...try and stay away from carbs for the most part, if you do eat carbs have whole grains if possible. At 6 months out I can eat most things but not very much of them. I do still drink a Protein shake each day, and sometimes a Protein Bar as a snack. I was not hungry after surgery and it took a while to normalize and feel hunger come back, but not with a vengeance, and you get full so fast. I have 2 hiccups when I am full and that has happened since I had this surgery. A lot of people get these little burps/hiccups that signal fullness, or a runny nose, it's weird, but a good signal from the body. I feel normal, just that I can only eat very small meals, but you have to eat right to keep losing weight and exercising. That has to continue ...so be prepared, the sleeve is a tool, but you still have to make the right choices. I am so happy with my sleeve...down to a size 14 from a 3X-4X and I can walk for miles, and none of my old clothes fit, they are tent size on me....this is the best decision I ever made for myself. Good luck !!!! -
Starting soft foods a little earlier
Teachamy replied to bklyn girl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also could have yogurt and cottage cheese the first week. Could barely get down more than a tablespoon, but I can imagine how you must feel! -

dee257 replied to nett31601's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i was banded on 2/22 and called my Dr on monday worryed the scale wasnt moving and i was really sticking to the diet of liquids and walking lots....she told me to start on mushies 3 days early......and today i was down one more lb !!! so far today i had breakfast 1 greek yogurt and for lunch I had a pack of oatmeal...I have drank 64 oz of water...and plan on making a pro shake here now ... Good Luck everyone... -
Stacey, The first few days were ok, but by day 4 and 5, I really needed something more substantial to feel better. I use Atkins Lo Carb shakes (Walmart, etc), Nutrilite Meal Replacement Shakes (Amway/Quixtar) and Premier chocolate Protein Shakes (Costco) usually first thing in the morning. It takes me about 2 hours to get one down - they are 11 oz. I also moved quickly to mashed potatoes, yogurt and potato Soup. Protein has been the most important thing for me to feel better. I also do milk a couple of times per day. Good comfort food for me. I think I already gave you the sleeve diet guidelines from Cornell University. They worked good for me.

Banded 02/12 Seek Friend Same
Kristen1969 replied to nett31601's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on 2/15...and had a pretty good recovery although the first couple days I could hardly keep down water I was so tight from the swelling. I felt good though! I lost 6.5 pounds the two weeks after surgery on liquids, then I lost another 3.9 pounds the next two weeks on soft mushies (scrambled egg, protein shake, cup of soup, yogurt). I went for my first fill yesterday and my doctor said I didn't need one as I was doing so well :-) I am just now starting "regular" food and feel full chewing well after about 5 bites so my initial fill with surgery is working fine! I go back to the doctor in two weeks and see how I am doing then, and to determine if I need a fill or not. I am so glad I got this surgery! -
Need ideas for "full liquids"...
feelgoodagain replied to MissieLyn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I puree bean and bacon soup, you can puree chicken and noodle also. Just have to strain in case it doesn't puree enough. My list has sugerfree pudding and yogurt. I've done the pudding but, not the yogurt. Also my list has mashed potatoes that are watered down with broth. It should be really thinned out. But, good if your sick of all the sweet stuff like me. Good Luck. -
When Can I Start Soft Foods?
Izuri replied to JentryB2020's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I have 7 days full liquids, then 7 of soft foods, then 14 of puree, then regular. So far with liquids I've been having : Yogurt, Jello, broth, strained creamy Soups, homemade pudding Soft foods I'm looking forward to definitely includes scrambled eggs. I think I could eat eggs for Breakfast, lunch, and dinner =p -
Non fat Greek yogurt with a scoop of vanilla Protein powder worked for me when I was tired of shakes. Purée some fruit on top taste like cheesecake. I ate that which gave me 32g of protein and I drunk low fat chocolate milk for a extra 16g of protein Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Fyi.. Unjury protein
Jackie Murphy replied to ShantelleElaine's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try the unjury unflavored in orange juice...can't taste it or even detect it...that's the only way I get all my protein in....I agree it's nasty in yogurt, milk and flavored waters.... -
Had a really late night, so just fixed Breakfast for lunch: Chipotle eggs (egg scrambled with a half tablespoon of greek yogurt for body and extra Protein and half tablespoon of chipotle chilies in adobo sauce...yuuuuuum), and two small slices of uncured hickory smoked bacon (also yum).

I'm glad to hear that. I'm only 9 days post op and was the same as you. No problems with drinks, yogurt, pudding. I was wondering how my stomach is going to handle the food down the road -
Unrealistic expectations?
New Me 31317 replied to New Me 31317's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Thank you. I have considered the fact that I might need more calories but I am not sure how to fit it in! On my drive to work, I have a protein shake. Around nine I have some yogurt. The lunch time I have some sliced turkey and around three I have a piece of cheese. And then for dinner I have some lean protein (no more than 2 ounces) Not sure I can get any more than that....also I'm not sure what else to eat, I've been pretty much stuck on yogurt cottage cheese lunch meat and tuna. -
Premier chocolate is about the only pre-made one I can stand. I also make them at home with almond milk, yogurt, peanut powder, sugar free vanilla syrup and unflavored Protein powder. Those are pretty tasty, as far as Protein shakes go...

High protein snacks! Cottage cheese, ham and cheese rolls, a few bites of a quest protein bar, It am almost three months post op and my monthly cravings are awful I eat bad each time. Next month I am going to make a fruit and yogurt smoothie and see if that helps my sweet tooth because cookies and chocolate will kill me in the long run.

I totally understand you... I normally eat as a healthy snack some small chopped fruit, seeds, greek yogurt, half a cup of soup or dried fruit:) Sometimes I even make myself some cooked ham rolls with low fat cheese..!

Finding the time to stop
Cookie1215 replied to MINI-Me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Bambi thank God you said something, I feel like I can eat too much also! When I read about where people are at this stage, some still just doing liquids and I can have an egg and toast, 1/2 c chili, yogurt, some chicken breast I feel like it's too much. You're right though Loser, I keep saying I can eat too much and my family is looking at me like I'm nuts because proportionally it's still a miniscule amount. I suppose we're the lucky ones, I get a little nervous reading others posts about how much they can't eat.
