At my goal weight a week away from 7 months post-op
FluffyChix replied to AlteredReality's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I haven't had much success with any form of milk. Not sure why. I keep trying to reintroduce it about once a month. Maybe at some point I will be able to tolerate it again Probably lactose intolerance. You can try the ones that are lactose free maybe? You can even make homemade yogurt with them. -

Thank you. I already implement done of those days into my diet, except for yogurt. My pouch no longer like yogurt sadly Can you drink milk? Like Fairlife Milk? Add a glass of that each day? Make it chocolate with SF Hershey's Choco Syrup! -

At my goal weight a week away from 7 months post-op
FluffyChix replied to AlteredReality's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Wow! Congrats girlie!!! That's amazing and fantastic success!!! I agree with everything that has been said. The body dysmorphia issue is a big one in my opinion! It took looking at monthly photos to understand the changes in my body. I still see myself as bigger than I am. As @Healthy_life said, have someone compare you to people out in public. I'm always amazed when I ask Mr. F. to do that and I see the people he picks! Keep doing what you're doing. I think you will know when you get to the weight where you need to be. The fat redistributes after about a year. So you won't look like "a bag of bones." Also, to stop losing, start adding healthy fats into your diet. They take very little extra space, and yet will add calories very quickly. Use full fat items like Greek Yogurt, salad dressings, avocado, butter, olives, olive oil, nuts/seeds/nut butters. It's super easy to get 200-400 extra cals in just from upping fats a little bit! That isn't even huge servings either! -
Today (following my monumental sobbing to my hisband) I’ve managed 200ml of water, a smooth banana yogurt, 1/2 a portion of a smooth pea soup comtaining protein & vitamins. I’ll take that. I’m going to try a peppermint tea for supper. Oh & I’ve had three trumps which I’m overjoyed about. #BabySteps

Greenstar you are my life saver at the minute. I had a meltdown on my husband today...just sobbed (all be it silently as too much crying action is agony) I have just managed to eat a banana muller yogurt...it was painful but I’m sure I feel a bit better for it...xx

Liquid and soft food diet for veterans
Healthy_life2 replied to Clementine Sky's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
I'm in the same boat. I had dental surgery about 6 days ago. I am still eating soft foods. (1) To lose weight, high protein low carb. (2) To stop or slow down your weight add a reasonable amount of carbs back in. Low glycemic carbs don't spike your blood sugar (whole wheat, sweet potatoes, brown rice- nothing white or processed) I have a few pounds to take off. I'm taking advantage of being on soft food's. Amazing that my restriction is back. I am having refried beans, canned chicken and mozzarella cheese. I do mashed cauliflower (tastes the same as mashed potatoes to me) Isopure protein drinks. Hydration and protein all in one Tuna fish ranch flavored Scrambled egg's or egg whites I'm missing vegetables. I've pureed them. Made a green smoothie. yogurt sugar free popsicles and jello (be care full of cold and hot to avoid pain) Hang in there. -
Liquid and soft food diet for veterans
ProudGrammy replied to Clementine Sky's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
@Clementine Sky hey bud - nice to see you , sorry about circumstances. since the implants are so expensive, do you have to delay getting things "fixed"" both sides, prob!! That's terrible - are you in pain, or "inconvenience? which is still terrible. must be a funny/awful feeling. soup, cauliflower are great suggestions. "maybe" chili, cottage cheese, yogurt i agree as always, track your food in MFP but...in my opinion, since your teeth/mouth are uncomfortable - i wouldn't worry too much about calories etc (don't go crazy of course!) you have a different/sad predicament - hopefully you'll be able to fix teeth, sooner than later. keep smiling😁 hugggggs kathy -
Liquid and soft food diet for veterans
FluffyChix replied to Clementine Sky's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
I'm so sorry you're going through this. If it were me, I'd buy an instapot, instantly! And then I would cook every kind of meat I could in it, then I would puree it if it still wasn't soft enough. I'd kick the carbs to the curb. If you need mash, then do roasted cauli mash, cook veggies until they are tender using frozen rather than fresh. Eat canned green beans. Make soups, stews in the instapot. They can be fully high pro/low carb! You'll get the weight back off. Do a green smoothie with a bit of Greek yogurt in it, blended with frozen blueberries and spinach for breakfast. Do canned tuna or salmon mixed with low fat cottage cheese and Walden Farms Chipotle Mayo + Country Dijon and Vlasic Dill Relish for lunch! Just eat it with a fork! You can even blend it until smooth to reduce the chewing even more. Then have instapot meals in the evening. All very minimal/no chewing! But that stuff will still take more to fill you up. Cuz it acts more sliderish. Can you change off of the medicine that is causing your appetite to increase? -
February 2019 weight loss buds
thelostmermaid replied to TheMarine79's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
OMG I was and still am craving mac and cheese!!!! I keep getting this commercial showing the best looking mac and cheese and it's absolute torture. Towards the end of it, I ditched the soups and stuck to low fat greek yogurt and jello. Idk where you live but if you have a Trader Joes near you, they have an amazing black bean and chipotle soup. -
Who is sick of purees? Some fresh ideas...
Naughty Glitter Goddess replied to Naughty Glitter Goddess's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I am also not a fan of purees. The texture is absolutely nauseating, especially with things that you wouldn't normally eat pureed. Trying porridge was a great move - I'd try adding some unflavored protein powder to see if you can get that extra bit of nutrition in. The thing that helped for me was to make these things look like a mini casserole with the cheese melted on top. That way, I couldn't see what gross stuff was under there. Things I liked the best were things that I didn't have to puree - they already come that way. ie: refried beans, yogurt, thick soups, pudding, guacamole, hummus, etc. It's been a week since your post - I hope it's going better! -

Vegan, Gluten-Free Ingredients 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or oil of choice) 1 medium onion, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger 2 teaspoons curry powder 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric 1 cup red lentils 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into large dice 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth 1 teaspoon sea salt + more to taste Freshly cracked black pepper 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup (optional) For serving: coconut yogurt and fresh cilantro Directions Select the Sauté setting on your Instant Pot and heat up the coconut oil. Once it's shimmering, add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Add the garlic, ginger, curry powder and turmeric and stir until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the lentils, sweet potatoes, vegetable broth, sea salt, and pepper. Stir to combine all of the ingredients. Select the Cancel setting. Secure the lid of the Instant Pot and seal. Select the Pressure Cook (or Manual, depending on your model) setting and cook at high pressure for 10 minutes. Once the 10 minutes is up, allow a natural pressure release for 10 minutes. Open the Instant Pot and give the soup a stir. Taste for seasonings. You may want to add more salt, or to balance the acidity, you may want to add a teaspoon or two of maple syrup or sugar. Once the soup has slightly cooled, top with coconut yogurt and fresh cilantro. I added carrots and celery. It looks kinda gross but it was really tasty. I added a lot of salt...he he and I did add maple syrup -
I like dannon light n fit Greek yogurt. Many flavors. toasted coconut or vanilla may be less sweet for you. I love the Carmel apple pie, pumpkin pie, and fruit on the bottom flavors but, they may be too sweet. 80 caories, 12g protien, 9 carbs, 0 fat

Digestive and gastric issues
myfanwymoi replied to myfanwymoi's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Thanks James - I'm hoping that's what it is have been doing banana soup dry toast (though just had some Greek yogurt with banana and blueberries it as a bit of an experiment. We'll see! -
I like the yoplait “yo” yogurt. It is not Greek but is made with the ultra filtered milk so is higher in protein and low in sugar. I have only tried the vanilla and lime so cannot speak for the other flavors but they sell out every time they are on sale. Some Greek yogurts are too sour for me, so this is a nice change.

6 days post-op and hungry??????
Lolo 2020 replied to KMac2018's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So I woke up 4 days after surgery ready to eat my arm ! This after having no interest for the previous days . It is just ur stomach waking up . I did cottage cheese, yogurt and soup and what really has helped (and I am now 7 weeks out ) is having a smoothie in the am with unsweetened almond milk(30 cal) protein powder and 1/2 of a banana that is sliced and frozen . Bananas really help to get that full but not overly stuffed feeling so I can go off and exercise . Ur sleeve will work when u eat real food but I found that during the liquid and purée phase I was more hungry more often because they just slid through quickly . I was easily eating 800 calories but then had a hard time getting over 500 with real food . Parameters from my doc are 600-800 cal, over 60g of protein and under 60g of carb . Avoid sugar . I am exercising a lot lately and getting 800-1000 now , but till losing (when I drink enough water ) -
*Bursts in* Am I late? No? Whew... I prefer the Greekest (I said it) of yogurts. Usually plain 0% fat very high protein like Chobani, Fage Stoneyfield Farms or even store brand. I choose these because they are highly customizable and can be used for cooking also. I eat a lot of yogurt. All around the world too, but always the purest plainest I can get. Good luck 💟

Can you all recommend your favorite yogurt? I am on puree stage and had some Oikos Triple Zero today but it was too sweet for me. Almost sickening sweet...pre op I liked them but nope...... So I am looking for low sugar and higher protein. I was looking at Sigis as a possibility but was just curious if anyone has an favorites.

It doesn’t specify. It says I can have creamy soups, cheeses, milks, yogurt, pudding.

Thin Yogurt, jelly and custard were allowed on my liquid diet. If I never see another protein shake in my life it will be too soon. Was so happy to be able to stop drinking them

magnesium citrate. extreme pain. help.
FluffyChix replied to mousecat88's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You just gotta ride the wave now. Pre-op Mag Citrate liquid was my go-to. But post surg, even 1 or 2 oz goes through like Sherman through Georgia. So fast. So painful. Fetal position rocking and moaning terrible. Once it's in you, nothing is gonna stop it until you get all the crap out of you--literally. Sorry. Hope it eases quickly. Make sure to get your fluids in. Keep trying to take sips of water. Now the key is to keep everything open and not allow yourself to go 14 days. That's just wrong. At 3 days no BM, I'm formulating a plan for day 4. But my recipe so far is: 17g Miralax 3 Colace 11g whole psyllium dissolved in 2 glasses of iced tea 1/2c yogurt 1 GG brancrisp cracker with 1tbsp almond butter before bedtime lots of leafy greens and broccoli and cruciferous veg 100oz water DAILY. Every. Damn. Day. I'm finally having lovely fluffy movements every day that I follow those rules. It was Rosemary's Baby bad before that. -
Starting back to work next week
Avery's Mom replied to tjwolski47's topic in Regular foods (stage 4)
I meal prep a lot. so ill do baked chicken breast, or if I'm lazy get a big rotisserie chicken from sam's or make turkey meatloaf for protein. we always have sliced turkey and ham in the fridge, then I grab various veggies and stuff, yogurt, sugar free jello or pudding, beef jerky for snacks. -
Has surgery 10 days ago, I was so excited Now Iam so depressed
Avery's Mom replied to Temeka Silva-Perez's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It is so interesting to see the difference in experiences, everyone is different. Please don't let this get you down, we have all been there. This is why we are here, to share our fears, get a boost and a "Chin up girl"! The liquid stage is hard but you should be able to soon tolerate yummy things like yogurts, and pudding, jello and pureed fruits! My saving grace////Lemon meringue yogurt with a dollop of sugar free cool whip. PROTEIN AND DESSERT. -
Just checking in. It's 1 week since my surgery and honestly I feel great. I almost went back to work yesterday, but decided against it because work has just sucked so much lately, I don't want to go back. Lol My Dr. Called to check on me Saturday and told me I could start yogurt yesterday......I was SO happy to start eating something other than soup/broth. I go for my post op check up tomorrow and am really hoping he say go ahead and start puree. Sent from my SM-T350 using BariatricPal mobile app

2weeks post sleeve, bad left side pain, almost zero weightloss
LoveFood replied to Kbrown1977's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Are you taking omeprazole? I'm on 20 milligrams twice a day. My heartburn and acid was bad for a few days until it started working. Now it's fine. I'm not focusing on 3 meals a day until I'm eating actual normal food. I can only eat a tablespoon at a time so right now I eat a spoonful of whatever mush I can, whenever I get that grumbly feeling. I've made a bunch of different purees to choose from, including hummus, guacamole, tuna and crab salad, pureed cheese with balsamic, yogurt, pudding, etc. I'll worry about 3 healthy meals once my stomach is healed and I can tolerate regular food. Plus 2 protein dhakes a day (30 grams each), and as much liquids as I can.
