My 7 weeks starts Monday, but I eat 4-6 small meals per day avg 100 cal per serving. I only have shakes now if I know I won't meet my protein goals or want to add some to my coffee (1/3 bottle with decaf coffee). 40cal, 10 gr protein My breakfast is often light and fit dannon yogurt 80cal, 13 g protein with 2 Tbsp of ground flax 70 cal Lunch Tuna creations 70 cal, 15 gr protein. 2 oz cottage cheese 40 cal, 8 gr protein 2nd lunch 2 oz deli turkey 12g protein cheese stick , 5 gr protein Dinner 2 oz chicken, 14 gr protein, cottage cheese 2oz 8 gr protein If I'm still short I add peanut butter or other high protein snack. I mix up my meals, but work day lunches tend to go tuna just because I don't have to measure. My daily cals are 600 - 700 pending day of week.

Summer 2018 Surgery Buddies: POST-OP Discussion
iattcom replied to Ylime's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good morning everyone, I had RnY on 9/26 and have lost almost 30 pounds since my first weight in at the clinic. I am supposed to be on puree food at this stage of the game. I am not there. I am seeing my surgeon on Tuesday afternoon to hopefully be able to get some answers to why I am afraid to eat. I tried to go full liquids on the day I was supposed to and it took me 2 hours to finish my breakfast of coffee, 2 oz of thinned Greek yogurt, and 6 oz of protein shake. I know it was a bad meal as we are not supposed to drink for 30 minutes before or after we eat. The coffee was first and that was part of why it took me 2 hours to finish it all. I had the same thing for lunch except no more coffee and even then it took me 2 hours to finish my meal. For dinner I only finished the protein shake. I did have water through out the day and I also had off and on increasing and incredible back pain. I did not sleep well Sunday night and Monday morning I had to drive myself to a class. I went back to clear liquids on Monday because I was hurting so badly. When I got home I had explosive diarrhea, luckily it didn’t happen until after I got out of my car. I drank protein2o protein water with whey protein and my regular water for the day. That was the extent of my “food” for the day. I had finished the protein2o at about 7pm and went to bed at my normal bed time of about 11:30pm and then woke up at about 3:30am with what my surgeon’s nurse said could have been the dumps. I did a day of broth and jello and Gatorade like I had in the hospital and then tried the protein shake again. I am tolerating them well, I just have not add anything else to my diet. -
Yes! I feel like I’m behind all day but I’ve found that sticking with liquids and avoiding pudding, yogurts, etc. helps. I even add protein shake to my coffee. I only drink protein water. The only thing I have that doesn’t have protein is popsicles and my nutritionist told me today they count towards my liquid. It’s only 3-4 oz but if you have two you’ve already got one cup down. So I sip water and shakes all day and then make soup which takes me hours to finish but I prefer savory to sweet so I don’t mind cold soup since it’s breaks the monotony.

Yeah, I left the hospital on a "full liquid diet". I tried some broth and yogurt today and wasn't feeling either of them. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Not doing great in pre-op diet
BelleOfBatonRouge replied to sleevemebaby7781's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Currently on day 3 of 14 of liquid pre-op diet. Im full liquids now, 7 days out I switch to clear liquids. I actually always hated protein shakes, but the premier protein caramel and muscle milk protein shakes actually taste okay. In the mornings i mix a half packet of syntrax nectar with my oikos triple zero greek yogurt and it tastes pretty good, gives me 30 grams of protein, and makes me feel full. switching to clear liquids will be hard because the greek yogurt is saving me. I'm not excited about mixing protein powder with water. I feel like I am rambling and I do not remember what the point of my comment was. oops. -
September bypass buddies??
FaithandHope replied to MissPoodle's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I'm not allowed eggs yet at all. What has been added to my list is Greek yogurt without chunks of fruit, low fat cottage cheese watery oatmeal and mashed potatoes. All of these go down just fine no problems. Of course I can only have 2 teaspoons of them for now. -
Getting in your Protein w/o artificial sweetener?
MargoCL replied to Leia's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I rarely use protein shakes anymore unless I'm adding it to decaf coffee. I am getting my 60g of protein in daily, my surgery was 8/20 - It sometimes takes up to 6 meals a day, but it's doable. Tuna Creations has flavored tuna and salmon with 13-16g protein, coupled with cottage cheese - 20+ grams of protein per serving. Yogurt - Dannon Light and Fit Greek and Oikos Zero is 15g of protein per serving The idea is to now slowly ween yourself off protein shakes and move to more solid foods to get the necessary proteins. It's out there, you just have to not be as picky and accept this is for nutrition. My meal portions are no larger than 3 oz and are usually more so around the 2 - 2.5 oz mark. -
I have egg whites with crumbles sausage, sometimes yogurt Now that I think about it it might be because I’m not getting enough protein

Being wasteful.......
MargoCL replied to AshMarie794's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Yes, I think you will find through a variety of posts that many of us over bought in preparation because we tested and liked something pre surgery only to find out post our new tummys were not as keen on the product. I sucked up the chewable vitamins for 2 months (1/2 pre op) and finishing the 2nd bottle now and have moved onto the the same brand (BP Multi once a day) in capsule form. As for the premade protein shakes, I divide them into three uses, and add 1/3 of the bottle to my decaf coffee, it seems to work. But I have 2 1/2 full canisters of whey protein powder that I'm struggling with as well. including a lot of other products I purchased thinking, "oh this will be great" - I am slowly depleting the items but I will have some for months to come without the need to purchase. As for cooking, I cook for 3 people, which is somewhat helpful so leftovers are minimal. For work, I've started buying the pre-sized / packed foods for lunches (Tuna Creations, cottage cheese, yogurt, chicken salad, hummus, guacamole, etc). They are the perfect size and I no longer feel like I"m wasting if I throw out a bite or two. I may spend a few cents more in the beginning, but for me it's all about convenience and the ability to not through away foods. I won't even prep and cook extra anymore, it's just not worth it. Your profile says you live in Michigan, I'm not sure if you have an Aldi there... but aside from the cottage cheese and tuna creations, I buy the remainder of my prepacked foods there). They have a great BBQ Pulled Pork and Chicken for $3.99 - it's package so you the sauce doesn't smother the entire meat so I can remove the sauce and just have the meat. For a couple dollars more, their pork carnitas are the bomb and super moist. They sell out quickly. I've learned to buy things that are more economical and tummy friendly. Fresh sliced deli meat (turkey especially) is a great soft food resource and if the grocery sales are in your favor, really economical. I too expected big changes with my belly and I should've listened to a lot of people that said don't over pack for the hospital and don't over buy for the post WLS because there will be a lot of waste... Hopefully someone reading our posts will listen and not go through what we did... -
How to Start Meal Prepping After Bariatric Surgery
MargoCL replied to Kristin Willard, RDN's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Magazine
For me personally, meal prepping doesn't work since WLS. I buy items that are pretty much perfectly packaged and sized out (chicken salad, tuna creations, hummus, guacamole, yogurt) so I'm not "wasting" so much food. Additionally I don't have extra space to meal prep and freeze. It may be slightly higher in cost, but the convenience and hassle of trying to find storage in already a small area makes it worth it. Unless it's leftovers from the day before, I find that it's much easier to cook daily for my family and not spend the weekends prepping for the week. -
Well I'm up late for a terrible reason. But I thought I should leave record of this because you don't see it on the boards often. I had VSG but I have the unfortunate side effects of dumping and late dumping possibly even reactive hypoglycemia. I need to confirm the later with my doctor the next episode. The very first time it happened or that I can remember, I was 4 months post of in Naples. I was taking a coffee and felt a wave of flush wash over me but it disappeared immediately. Thought nothing of it. The next time I was in Paris, Nothing out of the ordinary lol. I had a pettit croissant and then a spoonful of panna cotta and I thought I was dying. Not exaggerating. Room spinning, heart racing, sight failing all in french subtitles. Took an hour to pass in a highly ornate turn of the (17th) century bathroom. The next few times I was on home soil eating (safely/properly cooked) homemade curried chicken breast. Then roasted lamb, next a tossed salad , then means and even once Greek yogurt! But not dessert/pastries again? Whatever...I'm sure it will happen again Absolutely no rhyme or reason. Every time it happens now I can't predict why, when or what foods will cause it. Just tonight peanuts and salmon pate. My usual suspects. I nearly went to The ER, it was that bad but I passed out in bed. Well now I'm awake to tell the tale. So I maybe a unicorn, who knows, but if you are banking on VSG not causing dumping syndrome, you may be surprised...

My nutritionist made me add a 1more protein to my day since I'm very active. I am extremely "boring" with my food. I keep it boring and simple and have worked so hard to look at food as a fuel not as having to be exciting. So..... I start my day with eggs whites (14g), My snacks are 2 times a day ,small yogurts with 1/2 scoop protein powder in it (10g) . Lunch is yellow fin tuna or tuna in general (16g), Dinner Sauteed Shrimp(21g), and because I don't put garbage on my food (very plain) I have 1/2 a pure protein during the day (15g). That gives me about 76 easily. I have steamed broccoli typically with lunch and dinner. I'm up super early so my fueling starts around 6am and I'm done my last snack at 730pm ish.

Summer 2018 Surgery Buddies: POST-OP Discussion
Svdlux23 replied to Ylime's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was suppose to be on liquids for a month. .l started on soft stuff week 2.. my body needed it. I was tired and had no energy. I eat what I want now mostly (no steaks yet obviously) and feel fine. Our mouth is a grinding machine so we are able to mush up food and grind our teeth as good as any blender. I just keep hydrated and don't eat too fast or too much. Maybe start with yogurt and soft stuff. We all have different plans but its more about how our bodies are working for us. Honestly, not even 3 weeks out and haven't had any issues since gas pain post surgery. Just don't overdo it. But makes you feel happier to have something in your mouth to chew for sure. I even had some salad last night and all was good. -
My sleeve was June 13th and I've had no real issues or problems, thankfully. But since Sunday morning I am struggling with getting my fluids in much worse than ever since my procedure. Every time I swallow it feels really weird in my throat like I've gulped a HUGE amount when I haven't and food made me nauseated when I would start eating. The nausea is better, but any swallowing (even little chunks of greek yogurt popsicle) is followed by that weird golf ball feeling in my throat/chest. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? Hot vs. cold beverages feel the same. About the only food that doesn't feel awful is scrambled eggs. This all began Sunday morning and Saturday night I ate grapes for the first time at a party. I also drank some alcohol. Just trying to put it all out there to help figure out what this could be caused by... Can a stricture happen at this point? Could I have gotten a grape stuck in my sleeve? Starting to worry!

Summer 2018 Surgery Buddies: POST-OP Discussion
ellie123 replied to Ylime's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow, have you gone meatless too?? I am a Sleeve to RNY revision. I've always LOVED meat and milk products and eggs and butter etc etc. All 40 years of my life I have never gone without it! And I ate it with my band, and with my Sleeve. So here's how the Vegan happened. My doc had me on clear liquids for 3 weeks with no diary...then told me to add back in eggs, and grounded meat. And I LOVE yogurt, milk, cream, Cheese OMG, on my last trip from France I had a WHOLE suitecase Packed with cheese from Hard to downright Stinky! I'm a certified Cheesaholic! But, I survived the 3 weeks without it, and without much veggies, fruits etc. But I was tired, and felt malnutritioned and unhealthy and constipated etc. Which is kinda to be expected. But seeing as this is not my first rodeo, I wanted to listen to my body more and not repeat the same mistakes. So...I started to educate myslef of nutrition nightly to see how best I can support my body through the healing process and nourish it while loosing weight. One profound influence was watching the documentary "What the Health" on Netflix (I so recommend you watch that!). So I replaced my morning Egg (s) with my Green Smoothie (which seamlessly incorporates my 1 a day Bariatric Vitamin chew from ProCar Bariatric health and the rest was history. Like right now, post my dinner, I'm not just feeling full, I'm feeling Satisfied and harmonious. Hard to explain but there is a difference. Like I said, I know it's not for everyone, but I'm super excited about the results, not just in the scales, so if anyone is cooking a vegetable or even a meat, I would love to be inspired. Because that said, it's not like I'll never touch another chicken or egg again, just for now, I'm doing so well without, trying not to tinker with the formula. Veggie or not, we need to learn how to cook again and enjoy a positive relationship with food again, but with Bariatric friendly healthy food, so we don't feel deprived and one fine day when we can eat more, start slipping into old habits. So were you Veterinarian before or thinking of becoming? Would love to hear more about your veggie meals. I try to post mine -
Today I drove myself to a 3 hour class and was actually there for 4 hours. Came home and sat in the car for another hour. Just did not feel like getting out yet, and when I did I felt the straightest feeling like I was going to have a bought of diarrhea, which would be really strange as I still have not had anything to really eat since September 12th. I attempted full liquids on Sunday morning of a cup of decaf coffee 6 oz of protein shake and 2 oz of thinned Greek yogurt. After which I was I in pain most of the day and all night long I am going back to clear liquids for a while. I have clean liquid protein drink that I may try to introduce some protein into my diet with. I am back to my pre-surgery weight at this time now.

My experience so far with sleeve (6 weeks in)
Frustr8 replied to jultrim18's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
And I am having a rocky evening also, oh I know we will all victorious but the here and now is getting very wereing and tedious . Earlier I threw up cottage cheese for what I swear the LAST, time. I have a biggish container of Greek Yogurt, couldn't keep even a small amount down.Also having troubles with pureed meats and thin cream of whatever. I may have to resort,to soy or got towards vegan.Strained soups not a problem as long as meat free. Swelling, intolerance or strictur e? I just don't know. After midnight, very dizzy, blood sugar bottoming down? Warmed up 1/2 cup of "Campbell's Yes" butternut squash soup, Hopeful this will make a difference. FYI I am 26 days and a RnY bypass now. I wanted this surgery, I am still,grateful for the SURGERY, my body was not going to last much longer with an elevated weight. I could see the Death Angel loaning ahead. I told one of the other Baipals I booked for the Losing Weight and feeling better Plan not the Puking and Nothing Stays down Plan. -
I thought it would be more clear...
Frustr8 replied to Separ1418's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I am an RnY and they don't perform the swallow test on us. I guess I am going to have to "bite the bullet" and request an EGD. What I'm told differs from the one we have prior to surgery, they go in , puff it up , check for strictures, and if necessary they can inflate the balloon on the end and dialate my stoma between my pouch and my re -routed intestine. I have been hoping it was swelling that hadn't gone down. And now at 12 Am I am trying Butternut squash soup, just a small amount. Since cottage cheese, Greek yogurt. and thinly pureed meats aren't staying down. let's try something vegetable based. Can't even handle thin cream of cereals -
Today I’m 6 days post op and I had an AWFUL afternoon. Stomach cramping, gas, nausea for hours. Pre surgery it never occurred to me that I would feel awful and not really have a particular reason for it. I figured that just about everything but protein shakes give me diarrhea at this point but I’d been slipping in some yogurt and cream of wheat now and then. Today I had a bit of yogurt and I’m dealing not with diarrhea but all I described above. I have no clue what changed- or even if it was the yogurt. Today was the first day I went out on a long car ride and a trip to the pet store- could it be that I physically overdid it? Anyway, I really hope this clears up soon but I might never know why it happened so I can avoid it again. Frustrating!

My surgery date is coming
iattcom replied to CRD1981's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My first full liquid meal of 6 oz protein shake, 2 oz vanilla Greek yogurt thinned with vanilla protein shake, and 8 oz decaf coffee with banana protein shake -
This is way hard! And extremely frustrating! I live with 4 other adults and 2 “kids” 14 and 4. My milk is Silk protein nut milk, which it cost $3.49 a half gallon, where as Almond milk is $2.59 and reg. 2% is under $2. I have very limited income ($300/ mo) and fs under $200 a month. I have been hiding the choc and van flavors in my fridge in my “room” and put only the reg in there. They don’t touch that! (Haha) or my coconut oil spread (butter substitute) I do shop for the whole house, with a “budgeted amount” they give me for their food. I buy us the same yogurt, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese. Funny that flavors I “hate” show up on my shelf. So someone is swapping out flavors because I hate peach and strawberry banana. But somehow they get traded out. If you don’t like them, don’t switch them out. Especially with something you know I can’t stand and literally the smell makes me sick. (Peach) and my dairy free and low sugar ice cream. There are literally 10 half gallons of ice cream in the house (no I am not joking) and would prefer to take my $5 a pint halo top. I just don’t understand people, and don’t think I ever will. To me it’s respect. My shelf is clearly marked and so is my shelf on the door. But it doesn’t stop them, especially when my fridge is downstairs, and my room is upstairs

I am so excited for tomorrow that I am planning my first meal which will be 2 oz vanilla Greek yogurt, 6 oz chocolate protein shake, and 8 oz coffee with a splash of whichever protein shake I choose to use as my creamer.

This is me sharing how I'm lucky in my housemate, which isn't going to make anyone who is frustrated feel better, probably. Feel free to skip. ❤️ My spouse isn't into the sugar substitutes, so "my" stuff is safe. He will also--I say this having done Ideal Protein (meat and low-carb veggies), Weight Watchers (low carb, low saturated fat), and Paleo-but-with-beans, but not having done purees for a month or more--generally eat whatever I cook. This week (liquid pre-op diet) has been a little hard. I nearly had to leave the room when he had an apple this afternoon. But we've got lots of foods I won't eat anymore for him to work through, and he is apparently perfectly happy to make himself a bowl of pasta and pour undoctored (uggghhhh) spaghetti sauce on it for dinner. Or to add frozen fruit to some yogurt and granola. So. I'm hoping that, once I'm back off of liquids, maybe he'll be OK with eating the ricotta bake on pasta, or with refried beans in a whole grain wrap--stuff to bulk up my meals and make them more like "normal" food, and also to let us eat together. I know he's happy with eggs/omelettes for dinner, so that's an easy one. He is not a super picky eater, and on the occasions when I make something he doesn't like (like a tuna salad or something with too much zucchini) he is capable of taking care of himself. He's not perfect--I married a human, after all--but he's good and supportive, and I appreciate him.

I liked oatmeal thinned with unsweetened applesauce for breakfast. Also, per my team - a lot of people really dislike the textures of the soft food phase, so if you'd rather stay for an extra week or so on full liquids, that won't hurt anything. Or just do one soft meal a day. You can stay with a shake or yogurt for breakfast if that's what you're doing already.

Yogurt? Tuna, pureed. chili, cottage cheese or ricotta. There is nothing wrong with having a lunch meal for breakfast.
