R&Y Bypass 12/31/2019. New Year's Revolution!
loridee11 replied to Slimming Down Steve's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm getting pretty nervous. My house is clean, I finished up with work, and I've done all my shopping. I even cleaned out the fridge and freezer so I don't have anything I shouldn't have in the house. I have a couple more things to do around the house over the next 2 days and I will do some food prep over the next couple of days (not a ton to do, just putting some greek yogurt, SF Jello, broth in 2 oz cups, etc... ) It would be much easier if I could just keep busy. How are you all feeling? Lori -
What type of yogurt do you use?
macman replied to Bring It On's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Fage Greek Yogurt, 0% fat in all flavors. It is slightly more expensive than others but in my opinion tastes better -

Help me understand fruit and smoothies
Clementine Sky replied to cseidman's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I began having smoothies about two weeks post op using either a plain yogurt (Greek, Icelandic, or Bulgarian) that is high in Protein and low in carbs or plain kefir as the base. I most often use frozen fruit rather than fresh for the convenience, and my favorites are raspberries (high in fiber), nectarines, and the mixed berries from Trader Joe's. If I'm adding spinach or kale I also use it frozen. Del Monte has a fresh peach cup that is no sugar added, and only has 12 carbs. If I'm going to a regular grocery store vs. Trader Joe's or Ralph's I'll stock up on them for smoothies. Trader Joe's also has frozen sweet potato cubes that are delicious in smoothies, and lower in carbs than some fruit. I make those with Fairlife milk. A bariatric surgeon named Dr. Matthew Wiener has a video on YouTube about the "set point smoothies" he advocates. -

First day on pureed phase - and I wanted to puke
katmandu replied to gc>'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the same issues with certain foods. Keep trying different types. Best for me was ricotta with marinara and a little Parmesan or FF refried beans with puréed salsa and Greek yogurt for sour cream. -
Onight Oats (For Maintenance Folks)
SKCUNNINGHAM replied to SKCUNNINGHAM's topic in Vegetarian, vegan, raw foods
Blackberry juice, thanks for reformatting - what you posted was what it was SUPPOSED to look like! Sorry for the confusion. SuzComptime - I have made this with steel cut oats instead of rolled oats, but I like the texture better with the rolled oats - but both are good. Yes, no cooking is needed. Being in the yogurt in the fridge softens the oats enough that cooking with heat isn't needed. BTW, the Barleans fish oil product won some award for being the best new product of the year from some organization. It is truly tasty straight from the bottle. I have tried a couple of flavors, but the pina colada is my favorite. It is great in this dish or in any fruit smoothie you choose to make. I had used the traditional Barleans oil, but this is WAY BETTER. -
Questions to the ones who Had GASTRIC BYPASS!
spdmonkeymama replied to Missbeauty16's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I'm still waiting for approval and my date too.. I'm not "freaking out" exactly but the thoughts have been in the back of my mind.. But Monday I started a 2 wk preop diet the doc wants me to do for 4 weeks and it's not going so bad.. I have a very small selection I can chose 6 serv a day from.. But no meat.. Drinking all my Protein.. I figure I quit cigz cold turkey because I want this that bad.. I got this! And I feel like reading these forums have helped me wrap my head more around it already.. WE got this! Munky I had a very similar pre op. 4 Protein shakes a day 6 servings of : yogurt, applesauce, sf pudding, oatmeal, v8 juice. Then unlimited non starchy veggies and 80 Oz fluids. As far as gas pains go I had some of the worst. They got stuck in my ribs and didn't want to move. I am now dealing with some major back pain that has sidelined me the last 2 days. I'm 4 weeks post op As far as hunger goes I'm dealing with a lot of head hunger and wanting to push myself faster to healing. I've been allowed to resume working out slowly. But I have to consume more than 800 calories a day to workout. With the pain I'm not getting in nearly as much as I need. Sent from my SGH-M919 using the BariatricPal App -
What did you put in your fridge? (Groceries for post-op)
mylighthouse replied to Kila Rass's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For the full liquid phase, which I did for 2 weeks after my sleeve: Fat free Greek plain yogurt (sweeten with Stevia-it's good) sugar free Jello Sugar free chocolate pudding Organic chicken broth (added my unjury Protein powder to it-yum) Cream of chicken or cream of celery (my favorite) Soup (again, added the Protein Powder to it) That was about all I felt like eating. Mostly did the yogurt, Protein shakes and cream of celery soup. Did not feel like having much at all, and my appetite is just now starting to increase at week 5 post op. -
Cranky sleeve: need some advice please
mchap25 posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I was 3 weeks out yesterday and have done fairly well, but my sleeve is so picky I am running out of options for food and drink. I can't do plain water or any artificially sweetened drinks like Crystal Light. I've only been able to do Decaf iced tea and Syntrax Chocolate Truffle flavor for protein. For food I am lactose intolerant since surgery and can't even handle Lactaid milk. So no yogurt or cottage cheese or cream soups. The things I can handle are lunch meat, eggs, and baked potato. I can only take 2 oz at a time. I have tried tuna, chicken, and tilapia and get sick from those. It seems I'll have a really great day followed by a day sicker than a dog. Thanks for reading my long post! Any ideas? -
I'm 17 (or 16 if you don't count actual surgery day) post-op today and I've had this happen one other day. I just have zero energy today. I have eaten 1 Protein shake (30 grams protein) 2 oz of egg beaters, 2 oz of cottage cheese, and walked 20 minutes on my treadmill. I am totally zapped. I don't have any energy at all. I'm still limited on what I can eat (basically these 5 things, egg beaters, cottage cheese, refried Beans, yogurt, & sugar-free pudding, plus broth, shakes, popsicles, etc.) So far I've had 45 grams of protein and I will definitely get about 65-70 before the day is over. And I'm drinking my Water.... I just don't know what to do? Go back to bed and sleep it off? I have heard that some people eat some carbs (told by their surgeon) however, mine hasn't said anything about extra carbs anywhere in the plan. The good news is I get to change things up on Wed. after a followup appt. and a NUT class. I just hope I can make it until then...

I am about 16 days out and must say that until 4 days ago, I was feeling extra extra week, with brain fog. I was taking in Protein and losing weight at a good clip but the fatigue and cramps in my calf muscle. Today I am feeling better and the changes I made in the my routin are as following: 1) I read an article on Iron and fatigue and the association with Vitamin C so I have attached that article with the post if you wish to read. I am have started taking chewable iron supplements. 2) I switched from drinking broth and sodium laden Soups from the grocery isle to making my own indian style lentils (toor daal OR moong daal many varities in Indian Grocery stores--will post my recipe soon). I blend it with Water and a hard boiled egg (or just chew the hard boiled egg pieces really well) and 1 cup of greek yogurt (19g of protein). So the cup of lentil Soup blended with egg and i cup of greek yogurt is plenty of protein for the meal. 3) I make DARN sure that I take at least 80 ounces of water. 4) Add one banana to the two protein smoothies I have in a day (so two bananas and two whey protein scoops in the whole day) 5) My multivitamins made me nauseous so I switched to my children's flintstones and they seem to not make me nauseous although I do need to chew more pills So far my weight loss is still on track and the fatigue is down by 50% or more. I am sharing this experience with everybody and hope this helps. Just wanted to share. Anemia Following Weight Loss Surgery (2) (1).pdf

I started Dr. Pronces three day yogurt diet this morning. I have learned that plain yogurt is nasty. Does anyone have any ideas to make this stuff more palatable. I asked Trish and she said needs to be plain. no fruit.

Hi everyone! My name is Jamie and I am new here. I read this forum a lot prior to surgery but never registered. Thank you all for being so helpful with such a huge decision! I am 36 and married with no children. I have a high level position with a national catering company and have been event planning for over ten years. I had my surgery on May 11th. I know this is a crazy question - but how do I know I am full? I don't feel hungry so I am not entirely sure when I feel full either. I called my nurse a few days ago because I could drink fluids (and soup) easily and I was afraid I would stretch out my stomach. She said not to worry about it. When I did my one week post-op appointment they added watery grits and oatmeal and greek yogurt. I have had 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup but I am worried that I cant tell when I am full until I am too full. Does anyone else experience this?

Wastefulness
Catracks replied to ChunkyAndFluffy75's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I save everything in little tupperwares. I am not able to throw good food away. I plan my menuus out so that meat cooked for dinner goes into lunch the next day. I don't cook something new until I've finished the leftovers. Cottage cheese and yogurt are easy. Just take 1/4 cup out. The chunky part of the Soup could be frozen and pureed or used when the time comes. I've got chicken breast and gravy, 4 types of pureed soup and crock pot beef stew frozen in mini tupperwares for use as needed. What I learned from Eggface is that leftovers can be revamped into something else for the next day. She does these little quiche things that use leftover meats and cheese. They can also be casseroled or used as toppings for pizza (crust is low carb wheat tortillas). The cool part of all this small portions is that I can afford beef fillet mignon, sashimi grade ahi and lobster for the amount I eat. YAY!!!! -
A normal daily diet for the sleeve
Miss Mac replied to ready4therealme's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I eat anything I want to. The difference is that what I want has changed. I don't want Twinkies and Pepsi anymore. I want fresh food prepared from scratch. I eat roasted and salad veggies instead of potato chips. I don't eat near as much red meat and cheese that I used to, but I have learned to explore seafood instead of going into a seafood panic shutdown. We keep roasted turkey in the fridge instead of just on Thanksgiving. I eat vanilla Greek Yogurt instead of full fat Breyers Ice Cream. Fruit is a fresh peach, not peach pie. Actually, I have become a "Nutritarian" meaning that nothing goes into my body that does not provided nutrition to fuel my body. Instead of my body being a means to eat oversized servings of everything my taste buds desire, it has become a mechanical container for my spiritual essence of being (my personality, my spirit, that part of me that entered at conception and will exit upon death). It is my full time job now to maintain that container in good condition for as long as possible. My body reacts instantly in a bad way to things I used to eat. I have learned the difference between real food (things you grow, chase, and pick) and edible products made in factories. So, my primary guidance now is to just not eat anything made in a factory. -
First Day on Stage 3 Puree
Crosby replied to Prada-Savassi's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I like Greek Yogurt and actually have been making my own for years. You can add some fruit to it if allowed at this time. It is not the sugar laden yogurt most are used to so people are often thrown by it at first. I just can't see peanut butter being a good option for a meal. There are much better options. But to each their own. -
Any November surgeries?
aprilarnetta replied to Mildred Cox's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I picked up some yogurt ice pops from target. I had some yogurt yesterday. I haven't touched not one ounce of chicken broth ???????????????? cranberry juice is all that I have been drinking besides Water. Lollipops have been delicious because I was sick of ice pops and cold stuff makes me get chest pains.... Weird. I have apple sauce too. My doctor said anything that is milk based I can eat. He also said that I could eat some oatmeal as long as I use milk to mix it up. Hopefully that will help! ???????? -
I too had my third fill Friday. I left for the beach Saturday expecting to be able to eat some fish by Sunday. I was wrong. Anything solid hurts going down. I can eat soup and oatmeal. Can't eat anything hard even if I chew the heck out of it. I can tell it starting to get a little better today. I thought about getting a slight unfill but then told myself...this is why I did it. Greek yogurt, refried beans and protein shakes for a couple of weeks and then I will decide.

Hi Kat, Something that helps me get in enough Protein is to include a Protein shake snack during the day (either mid-morning or mid-afternoon). Since I'm lazy, I just buy Myoplex Lite chocolate shakes. I get them at Walmart or BJ's (both at very good prices). They have 20 gm of protein in 11 oz. I also try to target 60+ gms of protein per day.....I like fish, so eat a fair amount of that. Three oz of salmon has 17 gm of protein. I also like Greek yogurt--a 6 oz container of nonfat Fage (the brand) has 15 gm of protein. Since I don't much like cottage cheese, the Greek yogurt does more for me....I add fresh strawberries and some Splenda in the morning. I also make a tartar sauce out of it to go with the fish. Good luck!!

I have to do a 2 week liquid diet. I did one week then my surgery was canceled bc of a sinus infection. It was very hard! I like the " oh yeah " protein drinks. They are good. The vanilla and chocolate so I bought a case of them on amazon it was cheapest there. I can also do broth, cream based low fat soups and blend out so there's no chunks and they were good too. I also had the sf jello which wasn't so bad but I didn't like the sf Popsicles. I did make a smoothie of low fat yogurt low fat milk a banana and a scoop of vanilla protein. Blended it up and it was good too. Hope this post helps some.

Nausea 30 days post-op
kaytopaz replied to kaytopaz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you. I will try putting the Protein into my yogurt and see how that goes. I'm not really eating too much meat yet because I'm really just starting solids. Last week I was eating soft solids like tuna fish and canned chicken. I also don't understand why I can only eat 2 to 3 bites of food before I start having pains and feel like I'm full. And by bites I means half of a baby spoon size bites. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Mine is the 20th! I can have Jello, pudding, greek yogurt, broth and of course Protein drinks. For those I drink Premier Protein, Monarch weight loss stores sell Health Wise powder drinks and other high Protein Drinks and Soups. Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App
