VSG /Dumping/Late Dumping
FluffyChix replied to GreenTealael's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Do a small test. And if you have a blood glucose monitor you should try it out. Eat 4oz of Greek Yogurt. unsweetened. nothin with it. no flavor drops. no nada. just the Greek yogurt. Use the lowest carb, lowest sugar brand you can find. Do this test fasting. 1. Take blood sugar before eating (in a fasted state). 2. Eat yogurt. 3. Take blood sugar 30minutes after you start eating. 4. Take blood sugar every 30 minutes afterward at 1 hour, 90 minutes, 2 hours, 2.5 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours. *Assuming your bgs rise initially, then drop very very low somewhere around 2+ hours, this should catch your extreme high from it followed by your extreme low. If you know when the low is gonna happen you can kinda schedule some food to counteract this fall. Such as eat some 1oz of dense protein an hour or 90 minutes after the yogurt meal. By doing that, you're following sugar with protein which helps keep your levels steady. Make a list of all the foods/qties that you test this on. That way it gives you your power back! -
VSG /Dumping/Late Dumping
GreenTealael replied to GreenTealael's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Ok updates: This has absolutely continued to happen. It happened this Sunday evening and monday afternoon. Both times I was minding my business eating protein rich foods (greek yogurt w/ granola & chicken with roasted vegetables) I felt like i might pass out during the incidents but i didn't. Just wanted to cry a little. But i think it has now happened the very most with yogurt, so I may cut back or give it up completely. (It's not the granola... It was happening with every variation of a parfait i made. Only the yogurt is the common factor) -
February 2019 weight loss buds
brittcarter91 replied to TheMarine79's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
My update! Surgery was 2/25 so I'm like 5 weeks out. Down approximately 34 pounds. I'm down 3 inches each on my hips and waist which is exciting! Still technically on a "blended foods" diet but have cheated a little with some over cooked roasted potatoes and some noodles - mostly because I just got back from a week and a half in China! Travelling was tough, but mostly because I felt like I was missing out on the culture by not being able to have the food. I packed protein shakes and ate mostly eggs, a little tofu, a tiny bit of potato or noodles, and soup. I finally have a tiny bit of an appetite but still am mostly just eating because I'm supposed to. I would say my energy is at about 80% of pre-surgery levels. Overall feeling great! Looking forward to seeing my doctor on the 10th and hopefully getting approval to have more variety in my foods! Good thing I love eggs, cottage cheese, and yogurt lol Sent from my Pixel 3 using BariatricPal mobile app -
Past two days I've hit 62 grams of protein myself. Two shakes made with a local store's protein powder (half scoop in each with a half cup of milk), half a Greek Yogurt, and one of the BariatricPal soup mixes. I can't wait till Thursday because I move on to purees and can add a bit more variety. I'm very much looking forward to hummus, and this buffalo chicken puree thing that I'm eyeing.

Week after surgery and I'm struggling
gabybab replied to Bonines's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I can't stomach whey protein. The smell is off putting and I gag taking a drink. I've been short on protein, but am making my goals now that I'm 5 weeks post-op. I used high protein yogurt and fairlife milk to get closer to my goals. They have chocolate, but it's not my thing. I ate a lot of bean dishes, you can puree them. Good luck, you will get there! -
Hi all. My gastric sleeve surgery was on March 17 2019. I am two weeks in. Problem is, I am constantly hungry and have only lost a total of 6 pounds in the first few days and nothing after. My hunger is not head hunger, as I am back to work and quite busy and not thinking of food but almost every hour my stomach starts growling and is hurting with hunger. I am eating whole liquids and soft foods like yogurt. Any ideas if this means that my surgery may not succeed?

Found a bag of shelled pistachios but they aren’t chopped up but I can easily do that. Got the Light and Fit toasted coconut yogurt. Hoping they taste good together! If not they will be good eaten separately. -
March 27th surgery date

I haven’t noticed my taste buds changing just yet. I’ll fine out on Tuesday when I move to yogurt and cottage cheese. -
Ok, so for one, veggies are pretty sliderish for me. And I can eat about 1 1/4c of food. So let's just pretend my protein goal at ideal weight (120lbs or 54kg) for a 5'4" completely average woman (defined by insurance charts used in WLS to compute data) is 65g of protein per day. 54kg X 1.2g protein/kg of ideal body weight = 65g of protein (needed to maintain optimal health) for light activity. 65g protein / 7g per ounce of weight on average = 9.3oz of dense protein by weight So now I know about "how many ounces" of protein are needed to make my protein goal. If I'm having a protein drink or protein drink as a coffee creamer, it makes things even easier. On days I do IF, I will often use a protein drink to up my protein levels toward my goal. I will eat 3oz of protein at a meal which makes about 2/3-3/4cup of food. And, I fill the rest with veggies to about 1 to 1.25cups of food. I'm getting in 1-2 eating windows--each lasting about 90 minutes. So I might begin the eating window with a cup of veggies (salad, raw veg, or cooked veg) + healthy fat and cuz they are sliderish, then I will easily get them down and out of me within about 30-40 minutes without much rise in insulin and almost no rise in bgs. I adore broth with leafy greens and mushrooms, or salads, or raw veggies with avocado/yogurt dip (Green Goddess). Then at the last 30 minutes of my eating window, I will eat my complex meal of protein + veg + healthy fat and can eat the full 1 to 1.25 cups of food at that time. I make my totals most days. The days I don't, I rely on autophagy to swoop in and save the day. By doing this I'm usually able to get close to 16oz of veg per day (12-16oz) + 9oz protein.

And you may discover things later you never liked that you do now. And perhaps they will stay down where these things don't. I still have trouble with Greek Yogurt, cottage cheese and bananas and I'm 7 months past surgery. And all 3 were go-to prior to surgery, so I do miss them.

How can we help? Almost all of us have survived the liver shrinking/ preop liquid diet, although it is no fun it does get you prepared. I did the entire month of August 2018, lost 15 pounds, made my liver sleek smooth and healthy, and I believe that was a good part of why my surgery was so pain-free and I did so well. No gas , almost none of the Bad things you read of on here.It does get you used to liquids and you will certainly be on them after surgery. They to find ones you can stand the taste of, also there are protein waters you can try. My current fab flavor is Ensure High Protein Strawberry , for various reasons, although I am 7 months out I still have at least 1 a day. Anyway it tastes just like Strawberry Quik to me. Many like Premiere Protein,or Muscle Milk, I used to like the Blueberry Greek Yogurt flavor. Some like Atkins, I didn't that much. I am hindered because I am allergic to chocolate and bored with think,white,tasteless vanilla and those are the easiest to find. So how are you suffering, Just emotionally? Come on tell me, I'm old enough to be your grandma at the least , probably great grandma so I don't shock easy anymore. And I do care, I want everyone to have good experiences, with weight loss, certainly lived a long,life without it, and am much happier with it! And I am just one of many helpful people on Bariatric Pal.

I honestly barely eat fruit outside of a few times a month these days if it's not in my yogurt. But i eat all of my hard protein on top of salad or cooked vegetables and go bite for bite...

Yum!! Do you chop up the pistachios or can you get them crushed? I recently saw a new flavor Light and Fit yogurt. It’s called Toasted Cocunut. I need to find out the sugars on it first but I was thinking about getting g that flavor instead of my usual strawberry and adding pistachios to it! -
Remember we are all at different stages. The only one that counts is your stomach. Think of the plan as a guide only. Listening to your stomach it's new and in training. We all learn the hard way. I'm still learning to eat slower too or I start getting the "foamies". To this day I can't eat anything that is over cooked, or yogurt but that's me. So don't be to hard on yourself.

You should totally try it! See what you think and tell me everything! (Oh btw? I ate yogurt/cottage cheese with blueberries and almonds this morning-sweetened with liquid stevia and a boiled egg on the side. And I'm still full, but I sound like a Wookie sitting here. You can hear my tummy emptying and the sucking wookie noised from it as it does! So far no hunger, but it's only been 15 minutes since eating it. Good times! Adventures in FoodTown!) I'll let you know when I feel hungry again.

Arsenic, Lead Found in Popular Protein Supplements
GreenTealael replied to RoisinPáircéir's topic in Food and Nutrition
Thank you for posting this! I guess its wise to move to whole foods as sources of macronutrients as soon as possible like most Teams suggest "Protein products typically contain between 15 and 25 grams of protein per serving (although some do contain more). By comparison, a 5-ounce container of plain, nonfat Greek yogurt has around 17 grams of protein, and 3.5 ounces of chicken breast has 31 grams. Protein needs range from 0.4 to 0.6 grams of protein per pound of weight a day (that would be 64 to 96 grams per day for a 160-pound person). “That’s not a difficult amount to get in your diet, if you include natural sources of protein such as legumes, nuts, low-fat dairy, fish, and lean meats,” says Siegel. “You’ll benefit not just from the protein itself, but from all the other nutrients found in whole foods.” -
I second Fairlife milk, it is really good. Can drink straight or add to sugar free pudding, coffee, condensed soups, sugar free hot chocolate, etc. Also bone broth. You might want to try Greek yogurt, it is very helpful. Cottage cheese with one ounce Blueberry Applesauce is also worth a try. Cottage cheese can be mixed with spaghetti sauce too. My tastes have changed quite a bit. Keep trying stuff, you may like it now.

I just moved to the puréed stage of my program on the 27th. Sleeve surgery was on the 12th. During the full liquid stage was just nauseous most of the time. Yesterday I tried two baby spoons of yogurt and immediately threw up. Today I had a couple bites of scrambled egg and it went down fine, started drinking a protein drink and 20mins later I am throwing that up as well. Any tips to try and avoid being sick or what I should do?
-
Haven't tried the soups yet. Felt a bit nauseous on my second yogurt try though. Had to stop after two bites.
-
I hope you’re right!! I have a terrible sweet tooth and sometimes I’ll eat a yogurt to avoid the skittles or something else sugar. You seem to try new things while keeping it very healthy!! I love seeing what you post!

Ohhh ... good topic, slider foods. I have no real slider foods, that I have found. I don't eat yogurt, but if I eat soup or ice cream/frozen yogurt, I still feel full/feel my restriction. If it's a fairly thin soup, I can consume about 2 cups, maybe? Solid foods, nothing slides, crackers, pasta, chips, about an ounce or two in, I can feel my restriction. BUT, now days my stomach empties fast. It doesn't seem to matter if it is dense protein, or carby stuff. It's gone out of my stomach usually in less than an hour, sometimes far less. Since I've stopped doing IF, I've been a lot hungrier. Like if my stomach is empty, then I'm hungry. Normally this would scare the crap out of me, the fact that I feel satiated for such a short amount of time. I'm good for right now, as I'm trying to put the breaks on my weight loss. But I'm hopeful that if the future when I stabilize I can utilize IF, because IME, it greatly reduces my hunger.

I would ask your surgeon or nutritionist what they recommend. I think everybody is told something a little bit different based on what their care team prefers. For me, my guidelines were that I should have about 4 protein shakes daily. With breakfast I could have 1/2 cup of berries and I could have a lean protein and a cup of veggies for dinner. I could also sub in a yogurt for lunch instead of a protein shake if I wanted.
