At 10 days I was not allowed eggs. I could do broth, sugar free popsicles, yogurt, cottage cheese & apple sauce only. -
2018 Study: bariatric surgery only partially improves gut microbe diversity
Creekimp13 replied to Born in Missouri's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
You can improve your gut microbiota significantly by eating fermented foods. Sauerkraut, Miso paste, tempeh (bleh!..lol), yogurt, pickles, kefir, olives, Kimchi....awesome natural probiotics. Good gut bacteria need fiber to live. Shoot for about 25g per day if you're a woman (more if you're a man) Feed your gut bugs beans, barley, fruits with skins on, raspberries, nuts, figs, avacado, veggies Most of all....eat lots and lots of diversity. When I make a smoothie, I go around the kitchen and add a little of everything. A grape, a few raspberries, a few spinach leaves, one of each kind of nut in my cupboard, a little piece of banana, avacado, a piece of carrot, Anything I think I can get away with.....that doesn't make it undinkable. LOL. Lots of gut bug diversity...matters. Sugar and processed foods boost populations of the worse bacteria, they'll crowd out the better bacteria...and they'll add to rebound hunger...because they'll get hungry and want sugar too. If you eat sugar and processed crap for a treat? Rebalance. Get some good stuff in ya ASAP. Put a pause in there and let your good bugs recover. I know this all sounds like witchcraft....but there's gonna be some amazing developments in gut microbiome research. My own personal testimony about this nonsense... I was stalled for about three weeks... 3 months out. My kiddo who is studying microbiology at the University of Michigan had just attended a seminar on this research and suggested adding natural probiotics to my diet (not the pills...just the foods) and feeding the right bugs with more fiber...increasing dietary diversity. Can't say for certain there's causation....but within a couple weeks of doing this, I started losing well again and have been losing steadily since. I really think there's something to this. -
My diet is pretty similar to Fluffy's, and I simply don't understand @CreekImp13's continuing insistence that a healthy diet can't be lowish carbs. Heck, with our tiny stomachs, our diets are lowish everything! I aim for <50g carbs a day in veges, fruit, cottage cheese, greek yogurt. There's room there for occasional beans, rice, lentils and hearty bread, but I do keep those portions small of necessity in order to meet protein and vege/fruit goals (only so much room in the new tummy!). I find that I don't have the volume to rely on beans and legumes as a major source of protein, unless I supplement with protein shakes, which I feel isn't a good long-term solution for me. My plates are full of delicious, healthy stuff and my food plan feels very sustainable. ETA: I also think we should all as a rule at least aim to be in the "normal" weight range as there is amply evidence that "overweight" carries significant health risks.

I’m in somewhat of a similar situation. I went from around 315 to 235 very rapidly. And then I’ve just stopped...hung there...and am still there. I would like to lose more, but my clinic is happy with where I’m at and is not urging me to try to lose more. That’s one question I have for you. What does your followup team say about where you’re at? As for food ideas: my dietician insists on me doing 6 meals a day @ 200-250cals... Mostly protein; I eat things like: 2 eggs w/ salsa and some cheese Container of yogurt with tablespoon of granola for crunch Flax wrap with 2 slices of cheese 2 Asada tacos with 3” tortillas and salsa Variety of salads w/ protein on top: boiled egg, chicken, or tofu Lentils, bean soup, beans w/ brown rice - 1/2 to 3/4 cup worth Protein shake with espresso in it Also...like others have said...drinking calories is an easy way to bump things back up. Black coffee not coffee with milk or syrup. Water not milk or juice or pop. etc These were hard ones for me to wean away from. Finally - don’t get down on yourself. Our bodies have a majestic way of defending weight. They are crafty suckers and adapt adapt adapt adapt to our every whim. You have had decades of hard work to wire your body to think it needs to store fat and ramp down metabolism. You aren’t going to change it overnight...and you might not change it ever. It’s part of being human. Give yourself some grace. Best! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I’m on day 4 of my pre-op diet, I have a ton of cravings but other than that I feel like it’s pretty good so far. The weight loss has helped me stay motivated (down 7lbs as of this morning...) and I’m hoping that keeps me through the next 10 days! I had a big bowl of beef broth for dinner with some good seasonings in it, but since that was so low calorie now I’m starting to move toward bed and I’m only at 700 calories (even after my sugar free yogurts and a sugar free fat free pudding). I’m supposed to be having 1000 a day but I’m guessing being under one night is okay?

Ok so I tried to search first before starting this but had no luck. I was diabetic before surgery taking 80units of levimere twice daily and 1000mg metformin twice daily just to try and control my blood sugar. Gaining weight because of the medication. The big push for the bypass was because everyone believed that post surgery you tend to get rid of diabetes. Well up till last couple days my glucose readings have been 95-104 when I check. I checked a bit earlier and I had a spike of 145 which freaked me out. Its now 4wks post surgery all I had today was my triple zero yogurt that I generally have and 1 cracker with pb on it. I have had this before with out issues. Idk does it take time for diabetics to eliminate it post surgery? Or could the worst be happening and it’s coming back ?

Hey Lala70, Nope your not the only one I had my cycle twice with in 30 days as well and it was not fun. I upped my bought some vita-melt fiber pills and have been on them daily so that has helped keep me regular as well as the activa yogurt. I have one at least daily even i'm to afraid to stop taking either because i don't want to go back to the constipation stage. Now that your on the puree stage maybe you can this to your daily diet see if it helps. I haven't lost any weight since sunday but i was told to expect stalls while my body catches up with me so I won't worry to much. Going to try and attempt my first workout tomorrow and see if that helps push the scale some. I see some of you are on a calorie restriction. I wasn't given one by my Dr., is this coming from your Dr. or nutritionist? I need to go see mine i haven't been yet. -
All I can say is that prior to this, I was eating very well balanced meals. I was also obese and needed to cut carbs to generate a quick change for surgery. I wasn't necessarily eating more than 74grams on purpose. But I was eating less than 20 carbs per day and I still had severe proteinuria. All I'm saying, is that it *can* happen to people. Its not something you can just dismiss. And what I meant by the liver shrinking diet being more extreme than Keto.... in Keto you still get carbs from lactose, more so than the liver shrinking diet. I couldn't eat cheese or yogurt on my liver shrinking diet, but it is OK in a Keto diet.

You will be surprised once you start reading the ingredients. I just looked at a yogurt the other day. I thought the sugar was from the strawberries, but no, it had "cane sugar" listed. There is so much added sugar in everything. It's ridiculous.
-
I had no idea about this, thank you. Ok, so then really, the only thing that was an "issue" was the sugars in the yogurt? I'll have to ask my nutritionist tomorrow when I see her about how she wants me to track fruits. I've been just looking at the grams of sugars, not the ingredients.

I'm in the pre, pre-op diet phase, but trying to transition into the pre-op diet early. I made a parfait this morning for breakfast that tastes awesome and is much healthier than my usual frozen breakfast burrito. I'm really trying to limit my carbs to between 25g & 40g and my sugars to near zero as I can. I used the following: Dannon Light & Fit Greek Nonfat Yogurt, 1 container - 80 cal, 8g carbs, 6g sugars Fresh strawberries, 100g - 33 cal, 8g carbs, 5.1g sugars Fresh organic blueberries, 50g - 28 cal, 7.2 carbs, 5g sugars and Premier Protein, 11 fl. oz. - 160 cal, 5g carbs, 1g sugars This gives me a breakfast that contains 302 carbs, 28g carbs, and 16.1g sugars, and a whopping 43 g of protein! I wish the carbs and sugar were less since I plan to eat more of the fruit at lunch, but it is much much less than an apple or a Bartlet pear. And it tastes awesome (did I say that already?)!!!

I have cut out all refind sugar and the carbs i eat if it's included with my protein which i try to keep no more than 50 g or less.

How to make cottage cheese and plain yogurt interesting?

For something simple, sweet and easy to add in, my surgeon and nutritionist recommended adding sugar free torani syrups to cottage cheese or yogurt. -
I can't make a decision
sillykitty replied to CashmereAndBones's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had VSG because portion control is hard. It's hard to eat only a little, or restricted foods while dieting. You're hungry, and it takes a lot of food to fill you up. But with VSG, I have much reduced hunger. And when I do eat, the quantity is so small, it's max a few hundred calories, and I'm full. I have lost nearly 70 lbs in 5 months, and it has been easier than any diet I've ever been on. You also seem to think that you have to be on a crazy restrictive diet after VSG. I'm certainty not. I eat quite healthfully when I'm home, focusing on protein and otherwise fairly low cal foods. But I don't restrict anything, I eat fruit, bread, protein pasta, cheese, frozen yogurt bars, frozen fruit bars, etc. But for example I don't make fettuccine alfredo or fried chicken at home. So it's balanced and moderate, IMO. I actually eat out multiples time per week for work. I wouldn't recommend eating at as much as I do, because it is harder to make healthy choices, and hard to track restaurant food. But for me it is unavoidable. Sometime I make healthy choices dining out, sometime I don't. I could eat healthier while dining out, but with clients and colleagues it's not appropriate to customize dishes very much. I've seriously eaten just about everything in the last 4 months, including bites of dessert. And most days even with 3 meals out, I'm still under 600 calories because my stomach size is so restricted. But I am very conscience of what I consume, I log everything. So even though I might have biscuits and gravy for breakfast, I'm not off the rails and have a f it attitude, if that makes sense? As far as FOMO, there is only one hard decision I made. I've cut out all alcohol. I didn't have to, it doesn't have an adverse effect when I do have it. I just don't want to add the empty liquid calories to my diet. It was a big deal because of the travel and entertaining I do. I'm in bars multiple times a week, and I'm drinking water, so definitely awkward. But if it was only glass of wine or two a week, I wouldn't have cut it out completely, as that's pretty immaterial in the scheme of things. But for me, many weeks would be 20+ drinks, so it just would have counteracted my WLS too much. -
Vegan or not Vegan? That is the question.
Polarbearwifey posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
So, I've been away from this site for a long time. I have being struggling with depression and anxiety. I'm on meds now but I'm also struggling with the fact that I gain weight. I have tried to follow the previous diet my surgeon's office gave me but is no longer working. Their diet consists in yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese, eggs and meat. I have seen other people eating nuts and berries and they have been more successful in their journey. I have talked with my PCM about it (because I'm in the process of switching surgeons to continue my follow-ups with another person) and it suggested vegan style for me. Does anyone in here is vegan or have had done vegan life style before? Is anyone following another type of diet that has been successful? If anyone can help me with some suggestions, I will appreciate it. -
I avoided cheez-its for like, 7.5 months after surgery, but had some 2 weeks ago in an impulsive gas station buy on a road trip It was a 3 serving bag and I got through 2 servings without even realizing it! Never. Again. the cheez-its are BANNED! I was so successful keeping them out of the house (those and other crackers are my "I will devour this whole bag/carton" type foods) and now I have to try harder to eliminate gas station stops--like packing a bag ahead of time for nutrition needs! Did that last roadtrip (after the cheez it meltdown) and was wickedly successful. Protein shake and a yogurt if I needed one or both. Otherwise...I don't think I've had any huge slider screw ups like that. Unless you count alcohol. there are sadly days where I drink my calories from bad things like that instead of eating real people food. #workinprogress anyone?

How to make cottage cheese and plain yogurt interesting?
Matt Z replied to AEdoesRnY's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You can add ALL SORTS of stuff to cottage cheese and plain yogurt (greek works better for savory IMO) It's pretty easy really, just find a seasoning or mix or marinade mix that you enjoy, and mix a bit into the cottage cheese or yogurt. It's going to take some experimentation to get a flavor that you are happy with, but it's legit just as easy as mixing in some premixed powders. And you can add some unflavored protein as well to boost your protein intake. My pre-op was SF jello, watermelon, protein shakes and celery (I could eat as much of this as I wanted)... celery was my go to, since I could eat as much as I needed but it got old very quickly. So I started coating up pre-cut celery with seasonings like "Pub Burger" seasoning or "Maple Bacon" seasoning. And boy did that make things easier to deal with! So, go crazy, find yourself some seasonings you are interested in and start mixing them into your approved foods and just go wild! You never have to sacrifice flavor during this whole process, you just need to play around a bit. -
How to make cottage cheese and plain yogurt interesting?
AEdoesRnY posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So my clinic has me on a 1000 cal per day, fairly restrictive liquid diet for two weeks before my surgery. I’m currently on day three and I’m doing okay but feeling nervous about my ability to do this for two full weeks. One thing I’ve found that I really enjoy is cottage cheese with pineapple (Kemp’s fruit on the bottom). It’s technically slightly above the sugar per serving I’m supposed to have (10g instead of 7g), and it’s expensive to buy because it’s just single serve. I also feel like I have TONS of sweet options (sugar free popsicles, pudding, etc) but I’m looking for more savory options. Though I’m interested in hearing what you do for sweet or savory with both cottage cheese and plain yogurt! What kind of seasonings, liquids, etc do you add to your cottage cheese to make it more interesting/satisfying? Thanks!! -
One week post op-checking in
pattio466 replied to Letsgetgoing2018's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm 2 weeks post op, down 15lbs since surgery. Pain free but having trouble consuming liquids and proteins. Starting to be able to tolerate foods that aren't protein shakes and yogurt is a blessing. I finally went into the pool today and swam a bit and walked so that was productive but still get tired easily. Sent from my SM-J727T using BariatricPal mobile app -

churchgirl replied to gully90's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hey MissB_fit_2018! June 5th Sleever Ht 5’3” Surgery Wt 253 CW 225 Goal 155 I started back on “real food” Sunday 7/15 & to be honest, I’m scared to death! The first weeks after surgery I was dropping pounds every day! Now it’s like tenths of a pound. I even joined weight watchers to be held accountable and I only lost 2 lbs the first week. The thing is, I had absolutely no desire for any sweets or even carbs after surgery & now it’s all coming back! I was eating so simply & consciously post surgery - like just a container of yogurt or a protein shake would fill me right up! Now I feel like I should be making “meals” again & im so scared I’m going to go back to my old habits! I am still so excited about my progress - I feel great & my clothes are falling off of me! But I’m more afraid I’m going to blow it! Arghhhh ! I needed brain surgery instead of stomach I think!!😜😳 -

WOW. It's amazing how each doctor is different. I had surgery on July 11th as well. I am still on clear liquids until day 10 then progress to protein shakes, soups, and yogurt. I am glad I joined this group. Full of good information.
