Protein Powders, best taste, little or no after-tsete? Suggestions, please?
Swanton_Bomb replied to Schnauzer3's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
We have the best intentions to stock up and prepare before surgery, but learn from my mistake and don't buy too much. I found Premier Protein the most palatable, I bought a metric shiz-ton of it, and now I have to hope that I can return it because your tastes change and I can't stomach it. Many people like Premier Protein, especially when mixed in coffee. I've been making my own with Greek yogurt and Fairlife milk. Fairlife milk is really helpful to have on hand, it has more protein and less sugar than regular milk, it is lactose-free and it tastes like regular milk. I've been using it to thin out other products that are too sweet and to use instead of water to give things a protein boost. -
Agreed with all the above, especially @FluffyChix about the cocoa powder being a PITA to dissolve in a cold liquid. If you want a smoothie consistency, adding milk alone isn't going to do it. Ice can but I found that it often melts too fast since I don't drink them quickly. I almost always use either greek yogurt or cottage cheese in my shakes. Now I hate cottage cheese, but man does it make one super thick and creamy smoothie! I.E. 1/2 cup cottage cheese 1 scoop protein powder 1 tbs unsweetened cocoa powder 2 tsp stevia (or to taste, I use 2 packets which I think is 2 teaspoons) 1/4 cup almond milk As the others mentioned, frozen banana is a good way to thicken it up, as is avocado though I would recommend that more for savory shakes. I like it with peanut butter and spinach personally but it's not for everyone. My blender of choice: Ninja. That thing is my baby.

High Protein Homemade shakes? Help
FluffyChix replied to wjgo's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
You can make a "chocolate milk" and keep it on hand so you have enough for a couple of days using your milk and the cocoa powder. You could then freeze it into ice cubes and use those to thicken your shake while adding more reg. milk. A lot of times, cocoa powder won't dissolve unless boiled into a liquid. It will float on the surface. You might get it to work by using an emulsifier like banana or avocado. I'd personally rather have the frozen banana than the pure maple syrup if you are gonna add sugar to it anyway. You could also add SF Hershey's Chocolate Syrup to replace the cocoa powder, but will lose the anti-oxidants in the cocoa powder. You could also cut the milk in half and replace with Greek yogurt or a scoop of 2% cottage cheese. -
Taste bud changing thing was no joke
Frustr8 replied to sleevegirl88's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Cottage cheese used to be my go-to as well as Greek Yogurt, even stirred sugar f4ee syrups etc in them to spice things up. Precious Hurled both out with great rapidity. Haven't tried them since, should maybe? -
My one cent: my band does swell on flights.... I have to Baby it with yogurt. Or string cheese. Stuck in the air is no bueno. I spent too much time uncomfortable or in the bathroom before I learned this. Almost 12 years for me, and still I need to keep certain restrictions at times ...flying is one of them (For long flights and trips, I do have a small amount removed.... not going to Italy on my dream vacation and fighting my band)

High Protein Homemade shakes? Help
CrankyMagpie replied to wjgo's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
This is possibly going to sound crazy, but could you try freezing some of the milk into cubes, if it isn't icy enough? You could drop the amount of milk, and if that gives you too little to drink, maybe you could replace some of the milk's "bulk" with yogurt? A lot of people add a banana (and that might make it so you don't have to add the maple syrup if you don't want)--but I'm a little bit allergic to bananas, so I wouldn't do that, personally. As for the clumping, do you have another kind of blender? I love my Magic Bullet blender. Or can you work harder to blend near the top of the mix? Cocoa powder is super hard to blend into cold milk, just as a general rule, and I wouldn't trust an immersion blender to do it. -
Protein shakes??
hap314ness replied to Excited for a new me's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Protein shakes proved very difficult for me. My doctors didn't really know what to recommend because I did not tolerate the whey protein shakes and the majority of veggie or soy based protein powders didn't meet their protein or caloric standards. I ended up blending plain greek yogurt into soup broth. It was terrible. It wasn't until about 7 months post op my friend bought me a container of Vega chocolate. LIFE CHANGER. It tastes great, blends well (I use half a banana, a full scoop of powder, a cup of almond milk, and a dash of cocoa powder) and fills me up. Really wish I had known about it during my liquids phase, I would've had a much easier go of things. -
You can do this. It can be hard. I was supposed to be on a liquid diet for 2 weeks. I hardly did any of them like I was supposed to. I still have problems 7 months post op keeping myself accountable, but each day I do a little better. I try not beat myself up for it because then I"ll justify continuing like I was. But if I end up cheating and eating a cupcake or chips (which I've done the past few days) I try to eat less calories in the next meal. I've got my whole month planned out starting Saturday when we go grocery shopping. Impulse eating is my downfall. I also end up getting so hungry because I don't eat at good times that by the time I realize I need to eat, I dont' want to make anything, I just grab something quick. But, I've accounted for that and will start having healthy foods that can be eaten quicker: veggies and ranch dip made from greek yogurt, string cheese or block cheese sliced.

Today I decided along with grilled salmon I would eat yogurt. Not mixed together but bite for bite. Things are getting weird at Chateau GreenTealael

Today is day 6 of 7 day pre-op diet. I really thought this liquid diet would be super easy.....I purchased 6oz (18grams of protein) FAGE Total 0% Milkfat Yogurt to eat 3 times a day to get the 60 grams of protein required daily. Well....That worked GREAT for the first few days until I could not eat the yogurt due to sick stomach feeling. So.....that day I used no fat low sodium chicken broth mixed with Unjury Santa Fe Chile Protein Powder. Also, mixed with Unjury Chicken Soup Protein Powder for another metal. Last night and today. I have mixed the chicken broth with 2 packs black pepper, 1 teaspoon Unjury Chicken Soup Protein Powder and 1 oz of FAGE Total 0% Milkfat Yogurt. Total 20 grams of protein each meal. It taste really good and is soothing to my stomach. I hope this helps withanyone having sick stomach feeling on pre-op liquid diet. Don't be afraid to try different combinations to be successful. Everyone stay AWESOME!

I'm 1 will out from surgery. I'm doing well except I'm very weak. My surgeon said only eat if hungry. I'm never hungry! I eat yogurt, protien enhanced jello, protein shakes and strained soup. Was just able to drink water today without pain. Loosing 9 lbs in a week seems extreme. I just have no appetite! Is anyone else having this issue?

3 mo Progress Pic!
Naughty Glitter Goddess replied to Naughty Glitter Goddess's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks guys! I've been relying on lots of advice here as I'm in a 3 week weight loss stall. But pics don't lie and my body is still changing. Im doing lots of weight training and found out I need waay more water and waaay more calories to get my weight moving again. Anyway my scale shows im gaining muscle so that is a win. Food is not agreeing with me. Something that goes well one week causes a 2 hour vomiting stomachache episode the next week so I'm trying to stay loose with the plan and focus on softer protein sources like stew, cottage cheese (ugh), yogurt (ugh) and shakes (blech!) -

December 2018 Sleevers!
Myhorseisfattoo replied to batty_vsg's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Au contraire, mon ami! My liquid diet is 8 days prior to surgery - mostly milk and yogurt and clears, then clears only 24 hours before. I might be ready to perish at that point! -
Today is day 5 of 7 day pre-op liquid diet. Weight is 418 lbs. (Started at 569 lbs) I purchased FAGE Total 0% Milkfat Yogurt to eat 3 times a day to get the 60 grams of protein daily. (18grams per 6oz) Yesterday, I was unable to eat the yogurt due to feeling sickly. I instead placed Unjury Santa Fe Chile Protein Powder in chicken broth. For dinner, mixed a small amount of yogurt and Unjury Chicken Soup protein powder in chicken broth. Drinking water mixed with Crystal Light and Kroger Lite Pink Lemonade to intake minimum of 64 oz daily. Not hungry at all! Sometimes I feel strange, weak and sick stomach feeling, bad breath and gas. Surgery is Thursday! Excited to begin my new life and continue my single engine private pilot land certificate to soar above the clouds. Up...Up...and Away!

I just had my surgery on November 6th, going great so far! My 1 week post op appointment is tomorrow, hope to add creamed soups and yogurt to my diet.

I had my surgery November 6th, today is the last day of my liquid diet. Looking forward to creamed soups and yogurt! Not much nausea since hours after my surgery. Going well so far...

I am Day 5 and my plan says I can add Greek yogurt today, but I was scared because the full liquids plan says to only have liquids that pour off a spoon and Greek yogurt does not. So I just had 1 oz., and took 20 minutes of baby kitten licks to finish it. So far I feel ok, it went down smoother than some other things. I'm frustrated by conflicting information!

My weight loss had completely stopped after 8 months post VSG. Hopefully, converting will solve my gerd issue and kick my weight loss into full gear again. I’m ready to get back into the gym and working out. Not to mention I’m already sick of this liquid stage. I guess I’m more bored with the choices than anything. It’s only so much you can do😊. I’m ready for an egg, cheese or something. I’m getting where I don’t like the taste of Greek yogurt anymore.

These shakes, omg
FluffyChix replied to Swanton_Bomb's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Also, you can start by only adding 2oz to your cup of anything. Love Tea's idea of low acid coffee!!!! I drink decaf, so start with 2oz which will make it very light tasting. Also vary the heat of your coffee!!! If you need it lukewarm or cold, doooo eeettt. Anything to find something that works for you for now. But if none work, then use Fairlife Milk + a 1/8 to 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, some frozen fruit and maybe even frozen spinach blended to smithereeens...and thinned down with Fairlife to the consistency you need. -
Starving still... regret seriously increasing
Swanton_Bomb replied to mousecat88's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
The conflicting information is really frustrating. What the dietician says v. the materials they give you, then v. other sources of information. It doesn't make sense that some doctors allow yogurt at a certain time and others don't unless they are tailoring the rules for an individual patient. Its so arbitrary. Like, Doctor X says SF pudding is ok on full liquids but if you have the surgery with Doctor Y SF pudding is for the soft food stages. So annoying. -
I'm 5 days out and I'm getting a mild cramp when I drink water. Jello, broth, yogurt ect. go down well. I'm drinking slowly and taking small sips, but still get the cramp and a little bit of gas/air comes up. How long does this last? Am I taking in too much? No nausea yet so I've been lucky. Pureed food is looking really good about now but I'm following the plan. I've had absolutely no hunger or maybe I can't tell due to the abdominal pain.

SEPTEMBER 2018 SURGERIES AND SUCCESS
nibble replied to Frustr8's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I'm sorry you are having such difficulties, Frustr8! Sometimes we just have to take things one moment at a time, rather than one day at a time. Here's hoping things will improve for you soon! I started adding collagen hydrolysate to most of my foods - it is heat tolerant, unlike most whey proteins, so can be added to soups, cottage cheese, yogurt, coffee, tomato juice, mashed potatoes... I have to add a capsule of tryptophan to each scoop to make it a complete protein, but that's easy peasy. I just cannot tolerate too much of the Unjury whey protein isolate, so the collagen has been a real boon to me, making it easy to get my daily protein total where it needs to be.
