Temptations at Work—Best Snack Items to Keep on Hand?
KimTriesRNY replied to bariatricbride's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
Ugh that is tough. I work in the hospital and there is always cake, doughnuts, and candy around. This week someone brought in packages of full size Cinnabon for heavens sakes! I always keep Greek yogurt, cottage cheese...if you can find Muuna it’s yummy...cheese sticks, and such for snacks. Granted I am post op and it is much easier to not stray now. The more you stay away from the sugar though, the less you will crave it! -
I ate like a normal person yesterday!!!
I was at an all-day training where they provided breakfast and lunch. Since I didn't know what they would be serving, I packed my little cooler with a protein bar, yogurt and a fruit cup. I didn't need it, woohoo! One of the breakfast options was a yogurt parfait and at the lunch buffet they had (in addition to a bunch of stuff I couldn't eat) salmon patties, a squash medley, and orzo. They had fruit cups for the afternoon snack! I was so excited to eat what other people ate! I admit, I did eat some sweets, too. But overall, what a good day!

Low fat salad dressing that tastes GOOD
Naughty Glitter Goddess replied to AngelaM258's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
It must be really difficult to adjust your salad dressings to savory if you are used to and prefer sweet ones! I'm not sure how interested you are in making your own honey mustard dressing but a low fat one is super easy. I just eyeball it but approximate measurements are: 1/4 c greek yogurt + 2T dijon mustard + 2T honey, add black pepper or cayenne to taste, thin with lemon juice if too thick this has a decent amount of sugar from the honey so if you want it to be low carb you'll have to swap out that luscious honey for an alternate sweetener or a sugar free honey substitute like Nature's Hollow or Pyure I'm sure you could find a thousand island dressing recipe if you have time to get experimental in the kitchen. It's not something I've tried before. -
Low fat salad dressing that tastes GOOD
Swanton_Bomb replied to AngelaM258's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
It's hard to find, but OPA! Greek Yogurt dressing is amazing. They have a blue cheese, ranch and a feta dill. It is usually in the produce aisle with the refrigerated dressings instead of on the grocery shelves. -
I NEVER had restriction with yogurt though... I just stopped at the measured amount. Now I need to backtrack
-
Yes!!! I still didn’t have a BM. Surgery was Wednesday. I didn’t start a shake until today. And couldn’t finish the whole 8 oz of it. Had a few spoons of yogurt. How long did your BM take? I asked him what to take for gas and he told me simethicone. He didn’t even mention Gas X or suggest it.

Let me preface this by saying I'm 9 months post op and I know when to stop eating. I don't have a "tell" so I just had to learn by measurements. I started experimenting with intermittent fasting about a week ago, from 8 or 9pm to morning just water if needed. Morning to 1pm tea, or coffee with a little protein shake in it. Then food and fluids in between. Then back to the fasting. Apparently this has restarted my weight loss (stalled for 1month) and I just found out it reset my full point and which foods "slide". 1 cup of Greek yogurt (22 g protein) was a prior slider and now I'm in pain 3/4 the way through. I can't believe it. Yogurt prompts restriction again... FML. I need to lay down. On the floor.

Low Iron, Supplementing, Feel Awful
Taylor5 replied to Taylor5's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Right, that's the other reason I take mine at bedtime. I take Nexium in the morning and have protein shakes or yogurt up through dinnertime. I need that separation too in order to keep the calcium and medications from blocking the absorption. On the other hand, I'm starting to have a little bit of stomach issues this morning, and I just read a few articles saying that iron supplementation is thought to decrease production of Leptin, which provides the feeling of satiety. That makes me think it could very well be the cause of my increased hunger and food intake this week, and my first gain since surgery...which of course makes me not want to take it anymore. My doc prescribed Ferrous Gluconate Rx as it would supposedly be easier on my IBS symptoms... -
Low Iron, Supplementing, Feel Awful
James Marusek replied to Taylor5's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
A few years after surgery, my blood workup showed that I needed more iron. My nutritionist directed me to take it in the form of ferrous sulfate for the best absorption. A year later, my next blood work showed that I had too much iron, so they said I could cut back on the iron. I took my iron supplement just before bedtime because I wanted to make very sure I was giving it a 2 hour separation between when I took in any form of calcium, not just the supplements (such as calcium from milk, butter, yogurt or other dairy). -
Four weeks post op after sleeve- what are you eating?
Letsgetgoing2018 replied to Letsgetgoing2018's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi there. Sorry you’ve had so much nausea. I’ve had it mostly with vitamins. I am approaching week five. Sick of tuna and canned chicken meat with low fat mayo. Can’t stomach it anymore. Tried a piece of low fat sausage and it was heaven. Eating soups, cooked chicken, yogurt things like that. Haven’t really tried veges other than squash. Oh I also tried mashed potatoes and chilli and they were so good. Yes. I do occasionally get a metallic taste in my mouth. Not sure what that’s about. -
After the surgery it turned out that I'm no longer tolerating meats. I can eat a little bit before my stomach riots, but that amount was far not enough to get my proteins. I also tried beans, tofu, cottage cheese, greek yogurts etc as a source of protein, but those have various negative sides, such as gas, fats, sugars and so on. Finally I realized, that I was now even more focused on foods, than I used to be before the WLS. I decided to go back to shakes, but discussed that with my NUT first. Her only concern was that I might have psychological issues with relying on a single boring food, which might be considered as a low-quality life. Other than that, there are simply no solid arguments against relying fully on supplements. One may say that shakes are bad chemistry and not healthy. But we could say that about anything we get from a grocery store, right? That said, my 4 shakes (Premier Protein, which I personally enjoy) provides over 200% of daily proteins, 100% of selected vitamins and minerals (+ I'm adding extra post-bariatric vitamins as recommended by NUT), 20% of fat, 8% of carbs - with very low sugars, and just 640 calories. Basically, I take one shake (11 oz) as a full meal every 3 hours, starting from 9am. On the top of that I eat fruits and some vegetables in between, but mostly afternoon. If I want some snacks late after 7pm, I crave berries or melon. So far doing fine. If I go out with my family or friends, I'm not going nuts and eat whatever is served - my sleeve just doesn't let me go too far
-
In the beginning I would use protein shakes to supplement, but I don't anymore. On a regular day, I get 100% of protein by food. I'm lucky that I like protein rich snacks like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, hard boiled eggs, ect. I've also been on a 1,000 calorie diet since about 8 weeks post op. Goes to show, different strokes for different folks.

I drink about 72+ of pure water daily... And I still use a protein shake for breakfast, I stick to taco salad for lunch, which consist of 1/2 cup of taco meat with some romaine, some spinach, 2 tablespoons of salsa and about 1/4 of cheddar cheese, sometimes I put black beans in, dinner varies but usually chicken, about 4-5oz and a few bites of veggies, I don't make much carbs anymore... And I'll have a snack or two a day, usually dannon light and fit Greek yogurt or sargento breaks with the cheese and nuts... For a "treat" once in a while I will have a mini ice cream sandwich or mini Klondike which those are about 120 calories... But I don't eat those everyday... I am not gonna lie, I have had some snack foods in the past but the last month or so I stick firm to this menu... I did email my nutritionist and waiting for a response, I go back at the beginning of Sept for my 3 month followup so we will see what she says too....

I was never a big milk drinker before my bypass. I am day 12 today post op and doing liquid diet. Drinking skimmed milk with protein powered or just plain. Had no problems until yesterday when I got tummy pains and an upset tummy, tried again today, soup no problem, yogurt no problem but just drank my milk and pain again Is there an alternative that we are allowed that is still high in protein? Im in the UK so food items might be different. Would love your views on this please

I bought my little Cheez Its again I just cant stay away from them
Sosewsue61 replied to apositivelife4me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
We all have 'a lot going on', every single one of us has turned to food to sooth or 'fix' something. But it fixes NOTHING, NADA, ZILCH!!! You are using it as a crutch or excuse. And please - giving food away excuse, you already spent the money, it's gone, if you can't afford to buy them, don't buy them. There is no shortage of food, you do not need these. 3oz turkey 24gr protein 146 calories 1 egg 6gr pr 78 cals 1/2 c cottage cheese 13 gr pr 82 cals 1/2 tuna 20gr pr 90 cals 6oz greek yogurt 17gr pr 100 cals -
Beginning of second week post op what is everyone eating ?!?!
AEdoesRnY replied to Elizabeeth's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Week two for me is basically clear liquids + strained, diluted soup and two protein shakes. Still no yogurt or anything like that. No pureed foods until 8/20! -
Folks. I know I come here and post every couple of days about my cravings, but I don't know what else to do. I feel like I'm going to buy a slice of pizza, take a bite and toss the rest when I'm out walking my dog. I'm legit hungry all the time and there's no way I'm going to successfully resist temptation by just gritting my teeth. It's been constant. No relief from hunger at all. Today's day 12. Also, when i eat cottage cheese or yogurt or some other tide me over fat free soft treat, my weight loss either stalls or goes up the next day. Called my nutritionist about it last Friday, she told me to drink one fewer protein shake a day so i show good numbers at my first weigh in. Frigging losing it.

Beginning of second week post op what is everyone eating ?!?!
Krizivester replied to Elizabeeth's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Week 2 for me was chunky soups, jello, pudding, yogurt, mashed potatoes, cheeses, V8, and protein waters. -
Hi, oh dear, your situation sounds challenging. I’m 3 weeks out also, to be exact. 16 days, and healing ok, inside and out. Very little nausea, onto soft mushy food.. Did you have a upper GI the day after surgery? The Dr. then checks for any leakage and/ or problems after surgery and if so, keeps you in the hospital for further observation/ correction. It’s pretty standard procedure..Yes, your abdomen and stomach will be swollen a bit after surgery, normal, but your situation sounds unique. In comparison, I take my chewable bariatric vitamins daily, Isopure Protein Drink and Premiere Protein Drink, 1 Greek yogurt, smushed banana or avocado when the mood strikes,..Refried beans have been ok, not spicy..sugar free jello is nice. Campbell’s chicken noodle soup. (more soup than noodle) and constant hydration.. your getting hydrated and nutrition through your IV. which is great. The calories add up quick so, I would keep at at about 1,000 in the future, once your situation stabilizes..Maybe your body is going through a shock or serious readjustment. Maybe your very sensitive to surgery.. it’s possible your liver or gall bladder is acting up.. if your dialing back any medication after surgery, that could be giving you headaches. Protein is the key. For future reference, Unjury medical quality protein powder can be added to anything to bump up the protein levels.. but, I did meet a gal last week who couldn’t have the surgery because she couldn’t tolerate any protein due to kidney or liver problems (I can’t remember which,, geez). I’m so sorry..your experiencing this. I would ask some hard questions if this doesn’t start to ease up in another week.. Hopefully it will, and this event will be a distant memory.. Hang in there...Good Luck!!

Laughing cow cheese, cottage cheese, triple zero yogurt, and eggs. I also supplement with protein shakes. I gag at the thought of having any more broth.

I had very good luck with purée stage. I did devilled egg, chicken salad with low fat mayo or Greek yogurt, scrambled eggs with a bit of ricotta cheese mixed in, kept them nice and smooth. Soda crackers and Melba toast also no problem. But getting a bit cocky I was cutting up a Costco rotisserie chicken for hubby and was taking small bits and chewing well when all of a sudden It got stuck! It was very uncomfortable for about 15 minutes and kept wanting to come up but it finally passed 😩

Summer 2018 Surgery Buddies: POST-OP Discussion
J San replied to Ylime's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The only soup I had was tortilla soup and I blended it. I only took what liquid I would eat a small amount of the solid ingredients and I added water. If it was watered down too much I would add onion and garlic powder for xtra flavor. Pretty watery end result, no thicker than the watery yogurt I was eating/drinking. Double check with your NUT to be sure though. I didn't ask but I had no issues either. -
Body Fortress at WalMart. Whey protein 30g of protein, 8g of carbs and very affordable. $17.00 for 2lb tub. Isolate protein 30g of protein, 2g of carbs, $19.00 for 2lb tub. I mixed it with almond milk for pre op diet and now I mix with water post op. I've also added to pudding mix and yogurt. Tastes really good. So far have tried Vanilla and PB and Chocolate. Yet to try Strawberry, Chocolate and Cookies & Cream.

Summer 2018 Surgery Buddies: POST-OP Discussion
J San replied to Ylime's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I was on phase 2 full liquids I was allowed soups. My wife picked up a tortilla soup that was soooo good. I didn't have to strain it just had to blend so I would add a scoop of unflavored protein powder blend it and go to town. It lasted me 4 days and was my favorite meal of the day. I was also allowed yogurt so I would take a table spoon of greek yogurt and blend it with Protein2O and sometimes a scoop of vanilla protein powder. Really good, the tart from the yogurt was knocked down a bit from the sweet of the protein water and the sweet of the protein water was knocked down a bit from the tart of the yogurt.
