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.

Started full liquids today. Was able to do about 1.5 oz of yogurt this morning. Gonna be trying a protein shake soon.

Intermittent Fasting Daily Menu/Results/Accountability
AEdoesRnY replied to FluffyChix's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Thank you so much for that reassurance! I did buy eggs the other day but haven’t hard-boiled them yet, I’m going to make sure to do that today so I have them on hand! I did get lots of veggies and I have chicken I’ll cook up too. I like the idea of trying to start with a denser meal (vs yogurt) and seeing how that impacts my hunger and snacking levels! Thanks!! -
Wow! Great list girl. I heartily concur! Yogurt by itself for me=total slider. I eat it and look around for more! But if I combine with cottage cheese, walnuts/almonds, blueberries, peanut butter powder (yes I know), and sometimes 6g Fiber One--but at least the stuff before this that's listed...it sticks with me. But I keep quantities to 1/2c of the dairy mix. Salads and veggies (raw and cooked, especially over cooked) = total sliders. Pasta, rice, beans, "complex carbs" = total sliders Crunchy crap: crackers, chips, tortillas, including protein chips = total sliders Candy: sugar free gummy bears and sugar free strawberry twizzlers = total sliders (please don't ask me how I know) Soups/stews/chilis = total sliders Anything (animal/vegetable/mineral) with gravy or butter = total sliders Smoothies/protein drinks that don't have lots of spinach, a few berries, and a crapton of psyllium husks = total sliders ***** So basically here's my recap. Everything goes through me like buttah except dense, very lean protein and separate al dente veggies. Some whole nuts have a "stop" to them. From satiety standpoints: as long as I keep carbs low, keep carbs per meal low, and sugar per meals 5g or less per meal, then I can control my hunger and control my portions (except on salads...I eat 2x as much salad as I do meat + veg). Adding IF also helps me limit my hunger. The more I IF, the less hunger I have.

Y'all know i put everything under the sun in my yogurt to give it a little more grip except steamed Haddock or Grilled chicken... Maybe that's my next step 😂😂😂

Six months post-op+ : The Sophomores Thread
Orchids&Dragons replied to sideeye's topic in The Lounge
I add about 1/4 cup Kashi go lean to my yogurt, kind of like granola. It makes it more filling, plus adds protein and fiber. From the slider queen: yogurt, fruit, soups, stews, chicken salad, tuna salad, crackers, most veggies, and my personal fave: sugar-free fudgesicles. Did I miss anything? Also, I'm very fortunate at this point. I have wicked cravings, but no true hunger. -
For me yogurt is hit or miss. There are some days it feels filing and other days I’m hungry again so soon after! I like the idea of being thoughtful about the density of my first meal - I’ve been having trouble staying reasonable with my first IF meal because by that point I’m really hungry so it ends up taking more food to feel full. I might try out some denser protein and veggies vs. yogurt and the other stuff I’ve been starting with! Thanks for suggesting it!
-
I feel like yogurt is filling. I add raspberries and blackberries to mine too. Stays w me until lunchtime. But I’m also 7 mos post op so maybe that won’t be the case the further out I get.

Me... Ferral ?!?!? Never. Sometimes. Hourly. LOL I like cottage cheese but its on the same list. I eat it rarely because its more processed (more ingredients) than plain greek. I'm filled by yogurt but it move through very quickly lol i swear i can hear it 😳 Then I'm hungry 1 hr later... Nah. Gotta do better than this 😂😂😂 especially when that damn salad had me stuffed forever and i bare ate any of it. The damn dense proteins. Who would have known ?!?! JK ... Everyone. I'm going to try eating salad for 1st meals and see how long until hunger kicks in vs. yogurt.
-
Ok, before you go completely ferral, try mixing 2oz of Greek yogurt with 2oz of cottage cheese, matcha, and your toppings (including walnuts or almonds) to make it fit your macros. See if it makes it more filling. Cottage cheese totally fills me where yogurt slides. I'll be back in a bit to post my slider ultimates.
-
Sigh... Ive been thinking... I may give up yogurt for a bit 😳 Not sure when I'll start but likely in 2 weeks It's my ultimate slider at this point. I know it is because i cam feel it go straight through me but it has so much protein i was willing to ignore it. 😂 But once again becoming stricter with my diet i see now that i only truly feel restriction with dense foods. What's on everyone else's ultimate slider list?

Tuna is a great means of getting-in protein. I am also not the greatest fan of eggs, but have found the need to push them more than I'd like. You are very correct, the powdered whys and similar are far from pleasant, but it's really about adding small amounts only.....barely enough to be tasted amounts....whenever we get the opportunity. There's really no way of making this thing easy, I know, but to keep in the back of our minds just how vital it is to work hard on keeping the protein intake as high as possible. Stating the obvious, I know!!! Your dislike of Yogurts don't help so much, although there's hardly masses of protein in standard yogurt. There are others that are 'high' protein, containing 15 grams or more per yogurt....but, you're not going to like those too much if you already don't enjoy regular ones, as it is a little noticeable that what the manufacturers have done, is basically add protein powder to a regular yogurt!! I'm not really helping too much, other than empathizing with the difficulties you're having....I, too am having difficulties and I wouldn't necessarily call myself a 'fussy eater. It becomes easier, as I mentioned, as your dietary allowances get better - it is seriously hard to get that protein until you get to the 'soft' phase....and even I only really managed to improve things with more eggs than I'd have really liked!! Be sure to drink your full allowances daily of Low Fat Milk and just do your best.....wishing you luck and success, and hit those cans of Tuna as hard as you're able!!!! (Should add that some of the low fat, low carb shakes available that sports-people use....or indeed the pre op low carb/high protein shakes we used ie 'Optifast' can be turned to, to give us around 10 grams of protein, all of which does help us....it really IS about making small changes....adding small amounts of protein absolutely whenever we get the chance to....a major challenge, I fully concur!!)

I’m 2 weeks post op and I am having a lot of trouble getting my protein in. I despise protein drinks and have to choke them down. I don’t eat cottage cheese or yogurt. I also have a weird texture pet peeve. I am very very picky. Just trying to see if anybody has any ideas for ways I can get it in. I really need some help. 🤓😐

I am feeling really good, actually - I am surprised it has been as easy of a recovery as it has been so far (knock on wood). I only took narc pain meds the day of surgery only, then took tylenol for a few days and then haven't taken anything since about 3/21. I went back to work 3 days post op. I tell you what, I was bawling like a baby before surgery in front of my husband and parents. My surgeon was like, why are you crying? LOL. It is nerve wracking making this decision to have surgery and then the unknown. I was just so scared I wouldn't wake up. I mainly am struggling with drinking - I get my 64 oz in, but I drank way more than that pre-surgery, so it has been a change. Also with knowing what exactly I should be eating - seems to just redundantly eat Oikos Triple Zero greek yogurt. How are you feeling? Our stats are very similar for starting weight/height! Looking forward so seeing all of our progress!

Trouble with soft foods
2Bsmaller18 replied to jazzyj13's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I felt that way if I ate too much too quickly. I would suggest only a tablespoon. then the next time try 2 tablespoons to work up towards a 1/4 cup. at 2-3 weeks I could easily get a 1/4 cup yogurt of cottage cheese in but it took 45 min to get an egg. Now at 5 weeks I can eat an egg in 15 min without issue. That is following the rules of no fluids 15 min before or 30 min after eating. -

Good grief ! I missed all of your post and i love fancy schmancy yogurts!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 -
I'm a pescatarian. Not a problem at all. Liquid phase I did protein drinks, milk (fairlife has more protein), and yogurt (watered down). For the pureed food stages, I did pureed black beans (reheated with a bit of cheese on top), pureed egg salad (2 hard boiled eggs and either avocado or 1 TBL may and 1 TBL yogurt), and eggface's ricotta bake. For the beginning of soft food, I found Tilapia worked really well. And eggs (although note that a lot of folks don't tolerate eggs well) For regular foods, shrimp works really well because it can easily be made into small portions. I also sometimes do a tuna casserole that is basically a can of tuna and some homemade cheddar cheese sauce. It lasts me at least 3 meals. More now, but that's because I haven't been feeling well.

I think I have felt so nauseous because I barely eat anything and it's a viscous cycle. I've lost 45 lbs in 37 days and has taken a toll on me. Today I've eaten a yogurt, 1 string cheese & just ate 3 shrimp (first time) & I feel quite a bit better. I hope I'm turning a corner, it has been an arduous journey & at times I have questioned it. For today I feel better and out of bed a lot more, with a trip to the store!!

Eating for the first time did NOT go well!
Jezzabelle360 replied to Jezzabelle360's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I don't have a plan that says puree then soft foods. I'm really confused about what I can eat I guess at this stage. I'll mix the mayo with yogurt from now on if I use it. Sent from my LG-Q710AL using BariatricPal mobile app -

I know you are early on but when using mayo, my nutritionist recommends mixing it with Greek yogurt. 1 part mayo to 3 parts yogurt. less fat and calories and the mayo gives its flavor to the mayo. perfect in egg salad, tuna salad , chicken salad etc later on.
