I track all my food on MyFitnessPal.com. I still mostly only eat 3-4 oz. at a time but lately I've been able to eat more at lunch. Unlike most people, I start out the day wide-open and get tighter as the day progresses. My schedule has recently changed and I haven't worked out a new routine. But meals such as lunch or dinner tend to be meat and veggies. I sometimes have a few bites of potato. Once in a while I'll do Soup or a salad... I put a lot of cottage cheese and egg on the salad if it's from a salad bar and I get salad with grilled chicken if I'm at a restaurant. Snacks tend to be yogurt, cottage cheese, cheese sticks, nuts or trail mix, Protein hot chocolate or a Protein Bar. Sometimes I do fruit or beef Jerky. Breakfast is almost always a Protein shake. Sometimes I put fruit in it and sometimes I do not. When I work out, I do trail mix, gels, sports drinks (I mix in a compatible Protein Drink to up the protein), Protein Bars and bananas. I'm still experimenting with that as well. At this point, I still don't really eat bread or Pasta. I do sometimes have pizza and will eat the crust. But I've never been a big bread person and pasta now sits too heavy in my sleeve. I exercise 7-8x a week on 5 different days but I'm trying to get up to 9-10x a week. I'm training for a Half-Ironman and I need to do more than I've been doing. I just started working out with a personal trainer and I run 3-4 times a week, bike 2-3 and swim 1 time. I need to get another swim and another strength session in there!

Would you use it as a dip for veggies, or just eat it as yogurt?

Intense pain 2 weeks post op
Kindle replied to Ruth1ess's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree. I didn't start eating eggs until 3 weeks out, but it was at least 2-3 months before I could eat a whole one. 6 months before I could finish a whole container of Greek yogurt or a whole Quest bar. Boy, I sure miss that kind of restriction -
I got the sleeve done same day as all of you. I am not sure what is going on as I feel normal now. First 4 days it hurt to drink water. Now I can gulp it and it won't hurt until the 4 of 5th gulp. Anyways I am on full fluid. Milk, pudding, yogurt, apple sauce, juice, cream soups. I can't wait until next week when I can go on baby food. Or puree foods. I am having a hard time getting enough liquid in. I feel like all I do is eat and drink. Then my urine is still really really dark. Anyone else. Has anyone had sex yet? I have a few times. Not sure if that was right of me to do. But hubby was gentle and no pain. So.... Sent from my LG-H831 using BariatricPal mobile app

Need to lose 14pds to get VSG date
BeagleLover replied to Slimsoon1988's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I suggest getting a good tasting 100% Protein isolate Protein powder (for example, UNJURY), Torani or Da Vinci sugarless flavorings, sugarless puddings, FAGE sugar free low fat yogurt.... piece of cake. You can easily do this by Dec. 29th. -
I have a completely knee replacement with limited bend so I completely understand! It definitely limits what I can and cannot do. I am 15 weeks out so I am working on adding fruits and veggies into my diet. I am getting better. I still have some premixed shakes but only use them seldomly. The things I don't eat at all.... Breads (occasional whole grain slice of toast); rice, Pasta, processed foods, sweets, sodas, fried foods, caffeine. I generally start with a scrambled eggs with turkey sausage crumbles and a Greek yogurt with my supplements. dinner will be a Protein with 1 cup of mixed greens and 1/3 cup of berries. I add a lite dressing. Supper again is a protein with a vegetable. I will have a morning snack of nuts/cheese or fruit and 1/2 a Protein Shake. And afternoon snack is usually a yogurt. I also am addicted to SF Popsicles. I get between 750-850 calories a day and my nutrient count is usually protein-60-80gr; carbs 50-60; fats 28-less.

V8 juice, oatmeal and cream of wheat (both thinned with skim milk), smooth yogurt (no pulp or berry seeds), and applesauce.

Hey Bert, I am with you here sister!! I am so tired of liquids but am happy that I am now 10 days out as well. There is a light at the end of the tunnell. I have my good days and my bad days as far as hunger is concerned but when I am REALLY hungry I just eat something. I have decided to just listen to myself and act on it. As far as the liquids go, I have found that the Dannon light and fit yogurt smoothies are soooo yummy!! They are really nice because they are portable. I can just throw one in my purse (as long as it is not too warm) and eat it on the go. Also the Carnation instant Breakfast drinks are my friends. I took the sugar free vanilla last night and mixed it with low carb peanust butter and voila, it tasted like a peanut butter milkshake. It was sooo good. It tasted way too good to be good for you! I have tried mashed taters but nothing else really solid. Oh yeah, I took Campbells potato soup and added some cheddar cheese, purreed it and it tasted like cheesy bake potato. It was really good too. Girl we are getting there. I go to my Dr. on the 28th for a follow up. That would be 4 weeks. I am unsure if they fill that soon. I really hope they do because it is a 4.5 hour drive for me to get to them. Oh well, keep going it's downhill from here!!

Full liquids for 2 weeks - help!
zackly replied to Need4Change's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 9 days post-op and on a full liquid diet for another 5 days. I drink three protein shakes a day and am allowed two light yogurts, totaling about 800 calories. This is the same regimen I followed for two weeks pre-op. That was tough because I was starving most of the time. Since the surgery I'm quite full on the same 800 calories. It's boring for sure but it's only two weeks. -
I'm 2 1/2 weeks out. My NUT advanced my diet to the following: yogurt, eggs, cheese, refried Beans, puréed chicken/turkey, veggie patties, and turkey sausage crumbles. But everything is making me nauseated, or hurts when I eat it. I'm trying to drink a lot of Fluid...& am not doing great at Protein (again back to the nausea)... Did anyone else experience this? Did it eventually subside? Any tips?

Full liquids for 2 weeks - help!
liannatx replied to Need4Change's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
On full liquids I was happy to add pureed soup. Cambells Bean and Bacon, Cream of chicken, Potato Soup. Thinned and pureed, it is such a tasty break from Protein drinks and yogurt. -
Any Sleevers Who Are 5 - 10 Years Out?
Ailee replied to Lyle S. Tucker's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hell on earth? Basically.. some people's sleeves (mine included at least right now) cannot tolerate certain foods and when they eat those foods it causes immediate and severe diaherria, nausea, (and at least in my case vomitting). I'm talking where you're in front of the toilet and it's coming out both ends for several hours - at least that's my experience with it. However, you can avoid it by avoiding the foods that cause it if you ever experience it. For instance, Right now that means I can't have any ice cream (which is very sad as I love ice cream). I dislike yogurt but I found out that I do like frozen yogurt so I've been eating that to fulfill my ice cream craving (once in a while only!) and it's made it bearable lol. Sometimes dumping syndrome and the foods you can't eat fade over time post surgery for those who have it and sometimes they do not, but it's less common in sleeve patients than in gastric bypass patients. Foods that are likely to cause dumping syndrome include: any sugary foods or drinks, pastas, breads, rice etc. Wow. That sounds horrible. Sent from my Z970 using the BariatricPal App -
Going back to work soon...suggestions for quick protein foods
mi75 posted a topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I plan on having a shake on the 20 minute commute every day. Water in between clients. hard boiled eggs, egg salad, chili, yogurt, meatballs, tuna salad, chicken salad, crab dip...all great options. any other ideas? i'm SURE i'm over looking all sorts of options. i'm on softs now and doing great but trying hard to incorporate all the 'requirements' of Protein, carbs, fats, water, that my nut outlined. i only have a couple days left so no time to buy anything on internet for now, but that's an option later on. i just want to get back into a solid groove and get my eating in! thanks -
2weeks post sleeve, bad left side pain, almost zero weightloss
LoveFood replied to Kbrown1977's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Are you taking omeprazole? I'm on 20 milligrams twice a day. My heartburn and acid was bad for a few days until it started working. Now it's fine. I'm not focusing on 3 meals a day until I'm eating actual normal food. I can only eat a tablespoon at a time so right now I eat a spoonful of whatever mush I can, whenever I get that grumbly feeling. I've made a bunch of different purees to choose from, including hummus, guacamole, tuna and crab salad, pureed cheese with balsamic, yogurt, pudding, etc. I'll worry about 3 healthy meals once my stomach is healed and I can tolerate regular food. Plus 2 protein dhakes a day (30 grams each), and as much liquids as I can. -
I have 2 bacon medallions 1 boiled egg and 1 slice brown bread x or porridge and apple or bannama or total Greek yogurt with 100 gram raspberries or 1 egg and 2 egg whit ommlette with 2 medallions bacon these give good protien meals

For breakfast I have a fruited Greek yogurt with the following add ins: 1/2 scoop whey Isolate Protein powder (this makes it thicker and adds about 12 g of protein), unflavored Fiber powder, Splendra to taste; a couple broken up walnuts (I roast a pan full which brings out the flavor), about 1/2 cup high protein Kashi Go Lean. Even before restriction this would keep me full for about 4 hours. FYI for cherry, raspberry yogurt I use chocolate Protein Powder.

Read the above and take my other hand and hold on tight. The three of us can do this. When that food craving hits change the channel. Think of something else. Pre-plan what you will eat. When possible pre measure your food and have it ready to go. I have pouches of tuna in the cabinet. Pre measured portions of cottage cheese and yogurt in the refrigerator. I keep the family's Snacks out of my site. Portion control is big for me. I can easily overeat if I don't weigh and measure. YOU GOT THIS! Had lapband surgery 10/12/16

Sent from my Z970 using the BariatricPal App It's not pleasant, but I have grown to accept it as another "tool". Dumping keeps me honest and on track. Believe me, once you've experienced dumping you will try VERY hard not to have it again. Sooo, I don't eat Pasta, rice, bread, anything overly sweet, rich, or spicy. sounds like good bariatric thinking, right? That's why I don't regret that I am one of the 17%! -
Weight Gain at Week 3-5- Failing at WLS
MarinaGirl replied to MissLindseyR's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I recommend switching to unsweetened almond milk and plain yogurt, and no Cheerios during the weight loss period. And have you added up your daily protein total with an app like MyFitnessPal yet? It seems like it may be less than 60g per day. -
Sometimes I add greek yogurt (or regular yogurt) for flavor and it also thickens the shake. I also add banana and peanut butter and that works too!
-
Does anyone know if it's ok to to eat any type of Activia yogurt once your banded? I used to eat it all the time pre-op. I eat regular low fat yogurt and greek yogurt almost daily for protein.

Veggies can be difficult to digest this early out. You also have to be careful with seeds (zucchini, cucumbers) as they can get stuck in your staples or incision and cause complications. Try sticking with things with Protein such as cottage cheese, refried Beans with cheese, strained or pureed Soups (no rice or pasta), greek yogurt, etc. Be sure to get plenty of fluids. You may still need to supplement with Protein drinks or shakes. Be sure to bring Water and protein Snacks to school. Good luck.

Hi. I am wondering if anyone is able to get enough protein, per day, by food. I am 10 weeks post op and have been on “normal” food for over a month. I absolutely detest protein powder, protein shakes, protein drink and any form or protein supplement. Not only do I detest, but it doesn’t sit well inside my stomach. I try to eat protein throughout the day (eggs, chicken, turkey, Greek yogurt, tuna, some cheeses) but I feel like I am no where near my protein gram goal. Wondering if anyone is hitting their protein goal with actual and food and what you are eating. Thanks.

The BFL Gods are against me! (But they won't win ~ BWAHAHAHA) - I broke the pedal connection thingy on my exercise bike. So I did stair climbing for my cardio this morning. Panting and sweating. The interval part of this stuff is killer! I-can-do-anything-for-20 minutes-I-can-do-anything-for-20 minutes-I-can-do-anything-for-20 minutes. Tomorrow upper body (and my butt is still sore from the strength training that I did yesterday) - My crockpot of steel cut oats are overcooked with this funky thick lining along the crock. They stink. Threw them out. Ate regular oats this morning and low fat cottage cheese. - My photos that I took last night turned out to be all flash. Couldn't get it right. Maybe I can get some done this weekend? Meals: 1) Cottage Cheese and Oatmeal 2) Tuna and yogurt 3) Protein Shake ?
