Not sure I can answer the question about why there is so much cheese out there. Personally, I love it and it is a staple in my diet. I always have sticks of cheese in my refrigerator and if I get tired of yogurt for breakfast will switch it up and have cottage cheese. Never had an issue with constipation. If you're looking for soft food, non-cheese, substitutes that carry a healthy punch of protein, my go-to is hummus. There are lots of variations that you can find in stores, but I like it best when it's simple and homemade. Another option is refried beans. They can be a little bland, so I spice them up with chili powder and a little sour cream.

I had my surgery 10/15 so I will be on soft foods for Thanksgiving. I'm going to my aunt's house and I told her about my surgery because she's nice and non judgemental. I may eat a yogurt, whatever, I don't really care what I eat, I just want to see her. I'm having a weird experience today. This is the start of my week 4 and I feel very cold and weak. Like maybe I am in ketosis or need more calories? I'm having some Isopure water now.

No haven't had any heart burn thank God. I'm just starting to make shakes with Greek yogurt and ice and extracts a little better way to get down the shakes with my nutri bullet.

I was sleeved on October 30 2018, 6 days ago from today. The sounds my stomach is making woke me up from a deep sleep this morning and I actually felt hungry! I ran downstairs and grabbed a plain Greek yogurt. I took 2 small spoonfuls and my belly went silent. Is this going to happen everyday? The sounds are scary!

My favorites are Broad Beans (seasoned) , seasoned dried chick peas and chick pea puffs are insanely good and give me the feeling of eating chips /Cheetos :) Also- sf popsicles, turkey Jerky, oikos triple zero yogurt and string cheese are go to regulars! The below are also really good— taste like cinnamon cereal (Also a pic of the broad bean )

Post Surgery Tastebuds Changes: tell me yours
Vegasurvivor replied to GeTnBackuP's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm six months post sleeve. Tastes definitely changed. After bland liquid diet, funnel diet, soft food stage ect. And I would also like to mention I stayed in those phases a little longer just to be on the safe side....my taste buds have definately changed. Use to love tuna before surgery, now post surgery has super strong fishy taste to me. Love fruit now since its sweet and juicy. Watermelon being my fav food!! Frozen, canned or processed foods turn me off, have no desire to eat. Have no desire or cravings to ever go thru a drive thru again. Hope that lasts for quite sometime. Tried one bite of pasta. Had weird sponge flavorless texture, not for me. Bread is the same. I eat yogurt everyday and love flavors I did not before. Use to absolutely hate carrots and now love the crunch and can eat them every day. My tastes have definitely changed and I believe its from the initial change of diet post surgery. So happy for the changes! I'm so blessed to have met my surgeon who made it all possible and affordable. Love love blossom barriatrics in las Vegas!! Sent from my Z970 using Tapatalk -
When can I start swallowing capsules?
ElectricBoogaloo replied to April Dawn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Check with your team, experiences shared here may not align with your team's wishes. For example at my first week follow-up, my surgeon said I no longer have to sprinkle omeprazole on a spoonful of yogurt, but could swallow whole and I didn't have to cut tablets in half, while @Lynnlovesthebeach is okayed at 6 weeks. Do you mix them into the entire container of yogurt, applesauce? If yes, don't do that!! 😊😁 For the omeprazole, I dipped a spoon in the yogurt, carefully poured it all on the yogurt on the spoon and swallowed the entire dose at once. The nurses mixed the meds in the jello and it was difficult to get it all in because it was disgusting. Yuck. -
String cheese, white cheddar baby bels, bold salt and vinegar almonds, Atkins nut rolls, Atkins coconut bars, hard boiled eggs, salami, avocado, refried beans and cheese, nut butters, coconut chips, one birthday cake bars (yummy), one maple glazed protein bars also amazing, Greek yogurt and if I'm craving carbs a dill pickle kills the craving every time.

When can I start swallowing capsules?
MIZ60 replied to April Dawn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I take the same vitamins and my PA told me at my two week check up that it was okay to just swallow them. Opening them and putting in a bite of yogurt was NASTY so I feel your pain. -
Since we are on the same plan, I know you should be on full liquids. Also includes yogurt, applesauce, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, pureed fruits and veggies, sugar free pudding and gelatin. Our guide also says to work your way from 3 to 5 ounces in one sitting. Hope this helps. Congratulations on your surgery!

When can I start swallowing capsules?
April Dawn posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have 3 capsules that I have to take. I have been told to empty the contents into something like yogurt. I have tried yogurt, applesauce, and today V8. I am really struggling to get these down. Gagging with each swallow. I'm 5 days post op and just want to swallow these meds. The largest is the Bariatric Advantage vitamins with iron. When did you all start swallowing pills that are larger than MnMs? Any advise on how to get the powder down? -

This slow process is killing me!
CrankyMagpie replied to Ed_NW's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would be frustrated, too. My pre-op diet was a lot more bearable than what you're doing, in that it was essentially the long-term diet of a bariatric patient,* just ... more, because I didn't have the tool yet. Protein first, then veggies/fruit (fruit was limited to 1 serving per meal, but I could have it with every meal if I wanted), and I was allowed whole grains, as well (also limited to 1 serving per meal -- 1/2 cup brown rice, 1 wrap, and so on). Snacks were not encouraged, but I could have a cheese stick if I really needed it. Unlimited sugarfree jello and popsicles got me through a lot of night time hunger, since I was supposed to be losing 10% of my body weight on that diet. (And I did, just barely.) Keto's a lot harder for me to stick to, although if you've been doing it since April, I guess by now you've got your household and friends working with you (for instance: not doing meetups at pizza joints all the time). I wonder if you might want to take this time to switch over to something closer to what Kaiser will want you to do, long-term? You'll regain a little of your natural water weight, going back to eating fruit and higher-carb vegetables, and some people find that to be too upsetting, so this is just an idea for you to consider, no pressure. But once I settled into it a little, I found the normal long-term bariatric patient diet to be really doable, and that encouraged me a lot, in the time leading up to my surgery--I didn't have these "I can't do this diet anymore" feelings, so much (until the liquid diet, ugh). It didn't feel like a diet. I even had small cheats, from time to time (examples: a small piece of pie at my partner's birthday, a trip out with friends who wanted frozen yogurt--mine was heavy on the fruit, light on the yogurt, pizza with some veggies on it a maximum of once per month), and continued to lose weight. It felt good, for me, anyway. To be clear: I'd still have been frustrated to have the process take so long. Not in an "I can't do this" kind of way, but just because the anxiety of having it hanging over me, and having to hold off on some things I wanted (a new job, mostly) would have been upsetting. I just wouldn't have suffered any additional strain from the diet. Anyway, whether this is a good idea for you or not, your feelings are entirely justified. It's reasonable to be upset. *sure, sure, lots of bariatric patients do keto, post-op, but there aren't that many doctors that force it on you -- I know for a fact Kaiser doesn't -
Post Surgery Tastebuds Changes: tell me yours
Lillymunster replied to GeTnBackuP's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I’m 3 days post op and my tastes have changed. I used to put fruit punch Mio in my water and it tastes bitter now. My go to Greek yogurt was pills triple 9 chocolate and that tastes terrible now. I’m also craving tuna and eggs (not together) which I’ve always hated and real crunchy iceberg lettuce. -
Surgery was Monday, things feel weird
Lillymunster replied to Lillymunster's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I feel better this am. I never would have thought half a yogurt would make me feel like I just had Thanksgiving dinner. -
I had a similar situation and it was a week before I went - and it wasn’t very impressive either. My, friend you are normal. I was recommended a stool softener and Miralax, which I took regularly until I started going daily. I once stopped too soon right after moving to a stage 2 diet, and had the worst constipation of life (also, many of the stage two meals and recipes had CHEESE which made things much worse). But I got back on it for another few days and cut out most cheese. I’m still very cautious and only eat cheese if I have beans, or vegetables What helped me: 1) Eating yogurt regularly (no pun intended) 2) investing in a squatty potty 3) drinking warm beverages 4) Walking before going to the bathroom I never drank smooth move (my stomach has been really temperamental) but hot tea was great for me. Good luck.

Surgery was Monday, things feel weird
MMME replied to Lillymunster's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had that too at first. I think it's a combo of gas and your little pouch saying stop. Definitely take it easy with portions. I could only fit in about 1/3 a small yogurt at first, but 5 weeks in I can eat almost a whole one. -
Hi. My gastric bypass was Monday. Monday night was rough but by Tuesday I felt much better. Water has been going down no problem as long as I take my time. Today was my first day on full liquids. My protein shake was a little harder but I did it. My plan allows for no fat, low sugar, low calorie greek yogurt on the full liquid stage. I got about half of that down before I felt terrible. Very sharp pains and short of breath, I hoping walking and taking a break from any fluids will help. Think I'll wait another few days before I try greek yogurt again.

Thank you so much for the advise, as I am still in Mexico for a few more weeks I am having a hard time finding things assumed the bariatric protein powder they sold to me would get me through, but today I will look for a clear protein that I can add to yogurt etc.

Before making changes to your plan, you should really follow up and get permission from your team. They lay out plans for us to help with our bodies healing. As for ways to get proteins in, I found that making homemade bone broth soups was an easier way to get my proteins in without shakes or powders. There is also a variety of protein waters available to help with protein intake. I also had / and still have to have 4 - 6 small meals to ensure I get my proteins in daily. The smaller and more frequent meals have helped me immensely. Light and Fit Dannon Yogurt as well as Oikos Zero have upwards of 15g of protein per serving. If you can do pureed food, that would help and you could also add cottage cheese pureed (but as always, check with your team to make sure it's OK)

I had the gastric sleeve on 10/16. My doctor wants his patients to do 3 weeks liquids, 3 weeks soft food, then starting week 7 is normal food. I am 5 days from soft food stage. I however have been struggling to get my protein in because I can't do the protein shakes or powder. I have seriously tried every kind every which way and still have issues. I know some people get to start the soft foods at 2 weeks. If I started early with lunch meat, tuna, retried beans, would that be OK or would it be a big no no. My doc wants me to get 65 grams of protein and its hard to do when I can't do the protein shakes and powder. Right now I'm eating yogurt too try to get some in. The doc approved yogurt, pudding, cream soups on the full liquid diet. Any advice would be appreciated. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Your surgeon should have her/his own version of a liver reducing diet that they will want you to follow. Mine is 3 shakes, plus 2 cups raw non starchy veggies, plus a fat free yogurt or 2 hard boiled eggs. Hope thus helps. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Need help week 5
blackhawkpro replied to Meggie1111's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
At five weeks I was plain yogurt and berries in the morning, chewable vitamins only or go to the patch. Broth, cottage cheese, string cheese. Water, water, water ! Sleep, rest heal, don’t worry. Everything will be fine. I’m at 7 months, 149 lbs. down and feeling like a million dollars, riding a bike 10 miles every day. I had major hernia surgery at the same time as my bypass Bariatric surgery. I was a mess. You will be fine, get your stomach right and everything else will follow.
