Am I eating too much?
Diana_in_Philly replied to Chrisb428's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
FWIW - I have tried to eat 120 grams of protein from just food sources and I cannot do it. I cannot stomach that much food. Here's my average day: Shake with milk and fruit - 40g Skyr Icelandic Provisions yogurt 13g Chicken on greens for lunch 25g 2 ounces cheese 14g 5 ounces beef 37g So, that puts me over my 120, which if I subbed out 2 eggs for the shake in the morning, I'd be way short. If you look at what I'm eating, I am getting the majority of my protein from food sources - but I've been working with a sports RD who has experience with bariatrics to hone my macros because I train about 1.5 hours every day (hard -- 800 or more calories burned in a session) and I'm trying to add muscle but not cannibalize what I have. Trying to get my body fat down to about 25% - sitting around 30% now. Certainly, it is doable, but what I think your team is saying is don't replace two or more meals a day with shakes and bars. -
How many grams of sugar is too much sugar?
insta_adventurer replied to Tejee's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I try not to eat anything processed that has more than 10g of sugar, but that’s about the only counting I do. I don’t eat enough fruit to really feel like I’m overdoing the sugar on account of that so- that’s why I only worry about sugar in processed or things that have added sugar like yogurts and protein supplements. -
Hi everyone! I'm currently two weeks post OP after my gastric sleeve surgery and I'm finally getting more protein in. (Thank God) but most of the protein is coming from nonfat Greek yogurt, skim milk, soups...which all seem to have at least 5-6 grams of sugar per serving. Like this morning, I slowly had 1/3rd cup of nonfat Greek yogurt, and a 1/4 cup of Rebbl protein shake with a cup of skim milk...after adding it all up, it was 28 grams of protein but 18 grams of sugar. Now I'm worried. I really want to do this right and not mess up. How many grams of sugar have you been eating a day? Thanks!! Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

Pureed Stage + No Meats?? Gastric Sleeve Patient
Starflower replied to Tejee's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
For purées I did homemade refried beans, deviled egg salad, cottage cheese, yogurt, and ricotta marinaira bites. I had my 3 1/2 week post op a few days ago and begged my doc to be able to add chicken because I was worried about protien too. On my plan they don’t want us to do protien shakes because they want us to get protien from foods instead so I was really concerned. My NUT told me that at this stage they are not expecting me to hit my protien goal yet so that made me feel a little better. -
Pureed Stage + No Meats?? Gastric Sleeve Patient
KG371 replied to Tejee's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I just looked at my notes. At the puree stage, I was allowed hummus, tuna (I ate the lemon-pepper flavor in the packet), unsweetened applesauce, mashed potatoes with fat free gravy, mashed cauliflower, moist meatloaf made with ground turkey, minced pork with gravy (I put that in the food chopper with the green beans), scrambled eggs, greek yogurt (Oikos Triple Zero is a good choice), cooked carrots (I put that in the food chopper with the meatloaf and a little fat free gravy). Good luck! -
Also did puréed egg salad. Basically two hard boiled eggs, 1 Tbl each of mayo and Greek yogurt. Lasted a couple meals.

Pureed Stage + No Meats?? Gastric Sleeve Patient
S@ssen@ch replied to Tejee's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Pureed meat kind of sucks. So, I'm not sure I'd dwell on the meat thing until you're finished with your stages. You have a lot of choices to get your protein in and there's nothing wrong with continuing a protein shake or 2 a day. I know I did until I was able to transition to a regular diet. I started every day with one. I didn't have any actual meat until the soft stage, at which point I had some tuna. Think of the pureed stage as whatever a baby could eat. No chunks. I ate cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, yogurt, lightly scrambled eggs (overcooked gets rubbery), refried beans, and SF applesauce during my pureed stage. That's in addition to all the stages that came before it: clear liquids and full liquids. By the time I was done with pureed, I was kind of "done" with the dairy and was glad to be starting on the soft food phase where I could have a wider variety. -
Pureed Stage + No Meats?? Gastric Sleeve Patient
Lolo 2020 replied to Tejee's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My best friend since surgery is protein drinks made with almond milk , frozen banana and pure protein powder and PB powder . Every day about 200 calories and 35g of protein makes sure I get my nutrition . Yogurt , cottage cheese and spinach / egg fills in the gap and at 8 weeks out I still can’t eat too much real food , but get a little meat , veg and potatoes down . I don’t count on it for my nutritional needs completely yet -
I have different types of cheeses (string, colby/cheddar stick, mini babybel, and (my favorite) some fancy cheddar with some red pepper in it) Almonds (sometimes I roast them, like this: https://www.paleorunningmomma.com/chipotle-roasted-almonds-paleo-vegan/) Milk (sometimes with cocoa powder and stevia, like a hot chocolate) Yogurt, cottage cheese Parm crisps (fairly rare, but nice for the crunch) (sometimes with a bit of guac or hummus) Veg with hummus (usually carrots or bell peppers)

Wish I never let sweets back in
Healthy_life2 replied to KCgirl061's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I am not a fan of shakes and bars. They never keep me full. I can consume healthy whole foods, keep within my calories and feel more satisfied. (make sure my suggestions fit your plan) Sweet: I eat my meal first and then I dip strawberries or apple in Sugar free Hershey’s cholate or Carmel syrup. Eating my meal first keeps my fruit in smaller portions. Dannon light N fit yogurt. Love the Carmel apple pie flavor. Great calories and protein count. Salad greens, shredded chicken, berries with skinny girl raspberry vinaigrette (Optional a bit of crumbled blue cheese and deiced pecans) Salty: Jerky, chicken fajitas or taco salad (no tortilla) Scrambled egg or egg whites. with jimmy dean turkey sausage, green peppers and onion. Tip egg whites are lower calorie and higher protein count. Fills more space in your sleeve and no guilt. lol This is my dietician’s recipe website for food ideas: https://insidekarenskitchen.com/recipes/bariatric-friendly-recipes/ -
February 2019 Sleevers?
SisterWannaSleeve replied to Queenbee34's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hey there 4 days post op. Only sign of me having had a surgery is Tight and sore belly and the cold I caught in the hospital. I am able To drink normally (not chug) and eat entire yogurt in one sitting. I had a total meltdown yesterday thinking that surgery didn’t work because I was “starving” and everything was going down so easily. My dietician and an Ativan helped me through lol she taught me about head hunger but it literally felt so real. Have 21 days left of full liquids with puréed fruit. Ready to take on some chicken or egg salad! -
Calorie goal for first 2 weeks?
bodycando replied to Sheribear68's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Maybe try subbing in some protein shakes or yogurt for your water? Or sugar free pudding? -
Must Haves from Walmart
GreenTealael replied to carousel6372's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Sugar substitutes, yogurt, tea, string cheese, protein chips, vitamins, etc [emoji738] -
I had my gastric bypass surgery on Jan 29th. I was told not to go to mush until 14 days after the date of release. So far chobani yogurt and maltomeal are what I can handle. I don't like broth or soups so I don't know what to eat. Good luck and God bless

Food Before and After Photos
Naughty Glitter Goddess replied to GreenTealael's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Been working at coffee shops last couple of days and am finding some real gems for lunch! It's nice to mix it up sometimes instead of just eating my same old routine foods. That being said, I get so nervous when I eat new foods now because I'm not sure what hidden sugar is in there or how it's going to agree with me. I used to be so adventurous! 😭 But look where that got me... This is an amazing kale salad with marinated chickpeas, pistachios, avocado and a yogurt-harissa dressing. It was fantastic!!! Did not take an after photo - I was elbow to elbow in a hipster coffee joint and it was making me self-conscious. But I ate the majority of the chickpeas, all the avocado and some of the kale. No bread. -

It's refreshing and lovely to see people posting real deal meals otherwise it would just be me and my yogurts and salads most of the time. Thanks everyone who participates!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 [emoji738] -
I too fell into the trap of eating poorly due to two kids with mental health issues. Know you are not alone. There are more of you out there then you know. Don’t feel guilty about anything. As moms we try our best. I agree that having simple healthy no thinking foods around might help you. My go to as a busy mom is greek yogurt. Grab and go and eat on the run. Hugs!!!!

I bet if you bring something health-ish your friends will thank you! What about doing fruit skewers with strawberries, watermelon and grapes. You could make a sugar free (sweeten with Stevia) yogurt dip and add a little food color to make it pink. There are tons of ideas on pinterest. A good old fashion veggie tray always seems to be a hit! Pink or not! If you don't want to drink alcohol but want to feel like you are celebrating, bring some pink crystal light! Stick to your plan and try to focus on the companionship versus the food! Good luck and have a great day!

I just finished that stage Sunday. I didn't really puree much...some chicken salad once (canned chicken) which was okay. Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, ricotta bake and I had soup once I think... I was only on puree for 5 days though so I guess it depends how long you have to do it.

Preparing for 2 week liquid diet😬
SusieQ2019 replied to jenifaoh's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
That's a good idea. Personally I've been eating a lot of yogurt, and drinking plenty of herbal teas. I also have some left over herbalife power that I am finishing up so, I have one shake a day. I am trying not to gain any weight to avoid a denial from my insurance. -
Call me crazy but I am practicing for my liquid pre op diet. My doctor requires a two week liquid diet pre operatively. The list says no fruit or yogurt😐. I don’t want to go into the two weeks cold and set myself up for cheats and extreme bitchiness. Has anyone prepped for the liquid diet by doing a few days here and there leading up to surgery?

Need more calories-any suggestions
FluffyChix replied to CurvyMom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow, at 2 weeks. Congrats! I was only just starting softs at 2 weeks if I remember. Don't overadd cheese. Your bowels may be whacked for a while. And cheese will really stop you up. You need to be sure you are "going" well right now. I'd add stuff like canned chicken, tuna and salmon pouches, sardines, hb eggs or sb eggs, soft scrambled eggs, poached fish, mashed cauliflower, soft green beans, broccoli cooked to beyond hell, keep the yogurt. Add some avocado. Add a little good healthy fats. Add a couple of olives. I was between 500-800cals through most of my loss. I still have to be down around 700cals to lose on average. -
Need more calories-any suggestions
CurvyMom replied to CurvyMom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am not limiting but I am meeting my protein goals without it.. I get 30 from the one shake and then get 15 from breakfast (yogurt) and then the balance from dinner/lunch. I am on soft foods now so have not needed the two shakes to get 60-65 protein. If I have a second shake i'd be closer to 90+ protein and over what I should have. The nutritionist said 1 a day was fine as long as I am meeting the 60-65 range which I do every day. I noticed the FL choc had a lot of carbs....so that is a no. UGh this is tricky lol I was thinking maybe I could add in a string cheese with lunch and something else during the day but I don't know what! -
Need more calories-any suggestions
CurvyMom posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello....I am two weeks post op and my nutritionist wants me to up my calories to between 600-700 max but I am hovering between 450-500 right now. She suggested a cup of fairlife milk, which is all well and good except I don't think I can drink it plain. Has anyone had the chocolate fairlife milk this early post op? I was thinking maybe I could try that. Or anyone have any simple suggestions (besides making a shake w/ fairlife because I am sticking with my one premier shake a day)....I thought of trying to find a higher calorie yogurt but i really like the Siggi's I have been eating or Fage. I can add a little calories here and there, but it would be good to have a go to one shot type of thing.
