Posted last week that DH got his cholesterol results back and they're scary high. So along with lipitor he's on a VERY restricted diet... which is actually great for me! It means he's not bringing junk into the house. I've actually lost 6 lbs in the past week! woohoo... I've been going through my wls cookbooks and have found a lot of recipes that are great for him... Best has been Swiss oatmeal. It's so easy, and so good... mix 1/2 cup skim milk, 1/2 cup old fashioned oats (NOT quick oats) and 1/2 tsp cinnamon in conainter- cover and refrigerate overnight. In the morning add 3/4 cup plain ff greek yogurt, 1T flaxseed meal, 1T chopped pecans, 1 cup blueberries and 1 sliced banana (or any fruits you want). Then add splenda until you like the sweetness... makes 3 1-cup servings. so delish!!! I also finally used Quinoa in 2 recipes over the weekend and we are now huge fans! Made a simple veggie pilaf with dinner, and a quinoa cherry and pecan pilaf for Breakfast. I didn't have any issues with it getting stuck either!

Post-op: How long until you progressed to solid food?
keiko replied to Constance's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
No Robert you aren't the only one. I've been angry, weepy, and snappish to my dh and I'm hungry a lot! I was banded on 5/16/07 and go in tomorrow for my post surgical visit. My food schedule is: Days 1-3 clear liquid Days 4- 14 full liquid Weeks 3 and 4 pureed diet Weeks 5 and 6 soft diet Then finally regular food on June 28!! And the taste of artificially flavored pudding, yogurt, etc. is gross. I hate the taste! For anyone who's getting nasty comments about lapband being the easy way out, just ask them how they would deal with those 6 weeks. -
Use myfitnesspal.com to track your food. It will break down the Protein, fat, carbs, and calories for you. Did your surgeon not give you a guideline or recommendation for calories, carbs, protein? Why do you have to wait 90 minutes to drink anything after dinner? You're definitely not getting in enough fluids, and you're body is probably retaining what little Fluid you are putting in there. My daily recommendations were: 600-800 calories no more than 30gr of carbs 60+ gr of protein 64oz of Clear liquids If you don't want to track online, you can food journal all of it, but you'll have to look up the protein and carb counts of the foods you are eating. As for food options, you can try some thinned out refried Beans with cheese and add some greek yogurt (the plain non-fat) for additional protein. Cottage cheese, ricotta bake (look in the recipe section on here for how to make it), tuna/chicken/egg salads were all on my mushy stage diet, and I'm not sure if you are there yet. Hummus is a good option for the full liquid stage. You can puree or blend just about anything especially chili, cream Soups thinned out as well.

I use the unflavored unjury in 6-8 oz of skim milk and a tbsp of your favorite fat free/sugar free instant pudding. I love pistachio myself. I also add it to Happy Planet drinkable yogurts. Also very YUMMY! :hungry:

I am 7 months out and a slow loser. I have lost 45 pounds, but my starting weight was 218. I had a revision to a sleeve from a slipped band. I eat about every 2-3 hours. Breakfast is sugar free oatmeal made with milk. AM snack is a banana the 100 Greek yogurt with 1/4 c kashi lean crunch. Lunch is a vegetable and 2 protein-1/2 fat free cottage cheese or 2 light string cheese. PM snack is apple with 1 T low fat peanut butter. Supper is vegetable and 2 oz of some sort of protein. Night snacks are an apple with 1 T low fat peanut butter and 1/2 c frozen Greek yogurt. Hope this helps. It works for me. -
Yuck. I can't stand fat free dairy. It's like a sin to me. I do reduced fat everything except I do drink skim milk and ff fage Greek yogurt. Some stuff that helped me: scrambled egg wit milk in it and our some spicy stuff on it to waken up your taste buds! Made a three bean chili Soup and puréed it...from William sanoma and is delic!, making your own tuna salad is also really good cause you can put in the flavors you like. PB2 mixed with some greek yogurt or with some low sugar jelly. Good luck!

Me me me, I'm May 18! I'm excited, I'm on the Pre op. I've been drinking premier Protein shakes , fage plain 0 fat Greek yogurt with low sugar strawberry preserve. Drinking v8 light fusion and crystal light . My treat is sf Popsicles. What have you had on your Pre op?

Hi my name is Jessie and I was banded on Nov 14 2007. I was allowed to have popsicles, jello, fat free pudding cups, yogurt, chicken broth, as long as it is all fat free.

I start Friday and was wondering can we do other cheese besides cottage? Our we allowed to put sugar free jam in our Greek yogurt ? Can we have ricotta cheese? Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk

Not feeling full or even hungry
Rastafas replied to lucykh3434's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for the jello suggestion. I'll try a little Fage yogurt today. -
Hey everyone! I had my surgery 21 days ago, and I am currently on the soft foods stage. I AM MISERABLE!!! If I eat anymore mashed potatoes, cream of wheat, or yogurt, I’m going to lose it. Is it too early to attempt to start eating solid foods? Or can anyone give me ideas of other things to eat?

ideas for Mayo substitute
btrieger replied to TracyNYC's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Some think fat free plain yogurt is a good substitute. I use Miracle Whip Free or Miracle Whip Light. Fortunately, I like Miracle Whip more than mayonnaise anyways. -
Hi there! When I was on mushies after surgery, I stuck with very soft foods like yogurt, cottage cheese, and fat free refried Beans. Remember that your stitches are still healing and your stomach is still swollen from the surgery. For the gas pains, take Gas-X. It was a real lifesaver for me! Good luck!

I've had my second fill. I guess it was on the 10th. So two weeks ago. I have noticed a huge difference in what I can and can't eat. I get that golf ball feeling way more often. I would say at least once a day if not more often. I'm still hungry quite often. But I guess that's normal. At some point you are supposed to be, right? I eat a good dinner and occasionally have a yogurt or something like that as an evening snack. When I wake up I have some v8 fusion and some Protein stuff and a cup of coffee. I am NOT a Breakfast person. Never have been. So it shouldn't surprise me that by 10:30-11:00 I'm hungry. I think that really is the only time I'm "starving." The rest is head saying I should eat. I don't know. I sometimes think that I shouldn't have gotten this fill. I should have waited a bit longer. I have more head issues at this point than hunger ones. That's my experience.

I can only eat about 1/4 cup of meat at a time. Then 10 min later I am dry heaving. But I can eat 1/2 cup of eggs, cottage cheese and yogurt. then I am still hungry 2 hours later. My binder says I should try and eat more protein. but I can only eat a small amount of meat for example, chicken, meat balls, meat loaf, salmon. the binder also says to eat very slowly, take 20 then if you are not still hungry eat more. Should I start that? Any suggestions could help. I am also sleeve 4.5 weeks ago.

I do plan my meals but I can only eat so much at a time, she wants three meals and a protein shake would be meal replacement. I was having my shake at 6 and yogurt at 9...
-
Your weight loss will flucuate. You lost alot right away so don't panic. I do have 5-6 small meals a day. If I have a protein shake I don't have yogurt too, that would be way too much food all at once. Split up your foods to have your 6 small meals and don't worry the weight will come off.

Please help me with protiens!!!
lizrbit replied to Bamalama's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i dont know what brand mine is, but i know its soy whey protien. Its cheap too. i get it at walmart for thirteen dollars a large can, (before i spent over 125 dollars on isopure). when i switched i started losing weight, but ... my nutritionalist looked at me sternly. said she wants me to only do it once a week or so now and ONLY as Meal Replacement, because...after we heal...here it comes are you ready? "we arent supposed to drink our calories"... but in the mornings these days i cant do solid food. which will change from day to day. i think my surgeon has a remote control. i like them for breakfast. i also like them to use as Meal Replacements for the rest of the day if i have a pb. i put a lot of stuff in mine. a happy beth shake: In blender put: •one small container of probiotic yogurt •half the same container of 2percent milk •ten pecans •one scoop of protien powder • one tablespoon flax seed oil (to balance the powder and make my hair gorgeous) •mulitivitamin, calcuim,iron, b12, collegen capsule, acidolpholis (i hate taking pills so its easier for me to grind them up into the shake where i wont taste them) • a serving of metemucel • two fat strawberries from a bag of frozen ones i keep in the freezer • a medium banana after blending it should fit into a pint glass with no problem. its VERY THICK and sticks to the sides of the glass. (like it sticks to the insides of you!) my husband HATES these and refuses to drink them. I dig them, but i like strange things. it has the consistancy of pudding pretty much. I drink half of it before i go out on my morning bikeride, then half when i get back while im getting ready for work. i think as long as your carb count is low you should be okay with protien powder, just remember they tell us not to drink our calories, unless tight or pb and only as a meal replacement, after you are past the initial full liquid stage. -
Nuts and greek yogurt worked well for me. Put the nuts in little serving baggies so not to get carried away. Almonds were my fav.
-
I am told mainly liquids week 1-2 with 1-2 TBL of yogurt or cottage cheese per "meal". Starting week 3, the tablespoons become 1/3-1/2 c. I believe starting week 7 I can move out of solely the mooshies.

Greek yogurt, low fat granola, all natural Peanut Butter or any natural nut butter with whole wheat crackers ( I enjoy the Special K crackers or Reduced fat wheat thins), berries, banana, home made parfait, home made trail mix with dried fruit/nuts/low sodium pretzels/raisins or a combo of your favorite low fat/low cal items. Pita crisp(I love Stacey's brand) with hummus. Hope this helps a little Lala

But in general my diet goes like this: 7:00 am Cup of coffe in the morning with 22 oister crackers 60 cal (that what it says in the package) 9:00 am 1 boiled egg 11:00 am Protein shake arround 3oz 1:00 pm home made vegetable Soup with chicken and I blend it 3:00 pm protein shake 3oz 5:00 pm Yogurt 7:00 pm more vegetable soup Ok, Water is being dificult because after diner I have to wait 90min to drink so my total water per day is not higher than 20oz Can someone help me in whats wrong?? and if posible with food alternatives I'm tired of the vegetable soup Thanks

Need Help...starving
transforming jlaroux replied to donnapa's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It sounds like you're feeling better, but I also wanted to let you know that split pea Soup (cambells even) has a lot of Protein and is pretty low cal. I ate it alot post op. I eat the greek yogurt post fill now, also, if you're concerned about the thickness, add some milk and blend it together. Only a day and a half and just think of the boost in weight loss!!! -
Please help me with protiens!!!
SHESHEGIRL replied to Bamalama's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
thats a good idea! i see EAS in walmart too and i look at it but i dont know anything about it but thats definitely an option now. good thought about the unflavored powders. since i make smoothies which the yogurt and/or fresh fruit flavors, i dont really need flavored protein per se thanks again dbaguy! my dietician really recommended that i phase out the Protein drinks for the same reason of food staying in the pouch longer than the drinks but i cant let go of them! if i have to i will though:( but i see nothing wrong with replacing a meal with it especially when i'm on the go. its better than nothing! so was it clarified if i can still have a Protein Shake as a snack?
