June sleevers
mitch22622 replied to craven.jennah09's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am June 26. My program is 3 days pre-op liquid diet. But I was sick of eating and doing 4 days. Drank lots of crystal light, protein shakes, yogurt and cottage cheese. I hope tomorrow goes as easy as today. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app -
I feel you. I hate the protein shakes and cut them down soon too. I still have one in the morning with a little bit puréed banana and some spinach leaves plus peanut butter powder. Equals 16 gram of protein. The rest of the day I eat scrambled eggs, mozzarella cheese (fresh), ricotta bake, Greek yogurt etc. I am 6 weeks out and still can eat only very little and therefore I don’t meet my 60-80 G protein goal, but my surgeon said that it will come.

Why don't you like GENEPRO? I hear people love it and now I'm hearing people hating it. I use it, I like it but I use it now because I spent a A LOT of money on it. I like it better than any other ones. If anyone can suggest a powder that's unflavored that you can use in hot stuff I'm listening. I use Cabot Whey powder, I trust the company, (the plant is seriously 2 miles from me) and the product is good. It gets weird (as most do) if the food is hot but it's "unflavored" they all have some taste. I think it's ok in shakes, yogurts, pudding, milky stuff.

I would start trying to get your protein in through food now. I do one shake a day still, but honestly, I don't need to. I can get most of my protein from meals. Even if it's just softer foods like yogurt, cottage cheese, ect. The shakes will get old and you want a good foundation set to eat your protein.

Protein Vitamins instead of shakes?
Creekimp13 replied to morganmary's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
There might be products i'm not aware of....but all of the protein vitamins I've looked at don't really have much protein in them. A few grams...in half a dozen pills. Just doesn't make sense to me. If you can eat yogurt and chicken and cheese and protein water....these are much better choices. More bang for your buck, too. -
Some good vegetarian early foods: Refried beans with lowfat cheese Cottage cheese Split pea soup Hummus Soft tofu Greek yogurt Sugar free oatmeal with protein powder stirred in

I got sleeved on 6/6. The first week i lost 12 pounds, which brought me to 230 pounds. But since then i haven’t lost a pound. If anything, I’ve been yo-yo ing between 230-233. I started the purée diet yesterday. I’m still having the protein shake for breakfast, a drinkable yogurt for lunch and for dinner yesterday i had be ricotta bake and tonight i had purée refried beans with a little sour cream. And i couldn’t even finish my protein shake this morning or my dinner tonight. Am i doing something wrong? I don’t understand.

Summer 2018 Surgery Buddies Check In Here!

No chicken broth, sugar free jello, or yogurt? I am so sorry! 😩 -
Hi all! So, I'm week 3 into my pureed food stage and I'm BORED! My diet is one month pureed, one month soft, and then regular food. I've been eating greek yogurt, hummus, eggs, mashed bananas, almond milk, sugar free pudding, sugar free Popsicles, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese (I did the notorious ricotta bake, I didn't really like it), and sometimes I will have a creamed soup. I have been spooning on occasion other things like guacamole, or rice pudding (both pureed with no chunks), but I still am craving other things! Does anyone have additional suggestions? I just want ideas for quick snacks, or things to make with less than 5 ingredients. I do not have much time to cook meals. Please help! My taste buds are crying.

ALFxRNY replied to Ylime's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So I’m waiting for my ride home from the hospital. I completed my last round of pre-op testing. Blood work, health evaluation, chest x-ray, and I pre-registered for my surgery. Still super excited! Can’t believe my new life is almost here! On day 3 of liquids, still not hungry but I do miss the ability to chew and I’ve had to have a little soup to get rid of the sweet taste of the shakes and yogurt. I am doing fine though. Down another 2lbs, 5 more days of full liquids then 2 of clear. I’m hanging in there! -
I've had issues with regular milk. I tolerate yogurt, cheese and whey ok....but regular milk will give me a case of the loose goose for sure.

I did a lot of smooth soups with my Vitamix and added unflavored protein powder, if there wasn't a lot in it to begin with. I had Greek yogurt or kefir. I also ate refried beans and sprinkled cheese. You could try eggs different ways, because sometimes its about how you cook them. I did tuna w/mayo in my purred stage and chewed really well. I also had mashed potatoes with low sodium gravy and added unflavored protein powder. I sipped on bone broth for something savory. I drank FairLife Milk with sugar free chocolate syrup. You can always do the PB2 powder, instead of actual peanut butter. I put PB2 powder in my shakes and it is pretty yummy without the texture or heaviness on my pouch.

Has anyone just randomly became lactose intolerant after surgery? I only drink fairlife milk because of the extra protein not because it doesn't have lactose. The other day I was out so I made my shake with regular milk and I used a little extra because i was going to be out for awhile. Long story short, I was sick that day, I drove past the last place I could use a bathroom (I live in a rural area) my stomach rumbled, I was maybe 8 miles from home, (warning TMI-) it happened, I wish I was wearing depends! I was in my husband's car too! What a mess! Wth? Milk never bothered me before, but according to the surgeon this is common (just not pooping your pants in your husband's car lol!) Yogurt and cheddar cheese are fine, (believe me, I can see Cabot cheese plant from my house) but ugh, seriously? Anyone else have a problem with milk randomly now?

1st day of pre-op diet - 8 hours in - absolutely starving!!!!
Creekimp13 replied to LD91's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was allowed decaf coffee, herbal tea, sugar free drinks. I was also allowed sugar free jello, clear broth, and sugar free Popsicles. I got 5 premier protien shakes per day, plus ONE serving of the following: a 100 calorie greek yogurt OR one cup of cream of wheat OR one cup of cream soup. I didn't get to eat meat and veggies like some folks do...I would have preferred that. The last five days, were JUST the shakes and clear fluids. I had a 14 day presurgical diet. Lost 12 pounds. Doctor said my liver looked terrific. (my cheat with the turkey breast was on day 3...I fessed up to it...and it was ok) Also...weirdly...my surgeon wanted us to carb load right before surgery....so we were instructed to drink a bunch of white grape juice the night before. I remember it making me feel super zippy and wide awake. I've never heard anyone else talk about this, so I think my surgeon might be an outlier. We do a lot of things kinda differently...part of a research project. -
Greek yogurt kinda helped me with some protein powder. The cinnamon roll shake (super expensive but worth it to me) on bariatricpal was a lifesaver when all the other shakes repulse me with fairlife milk its like 40 grams. I made my own soups, my own bone broth which has 10 grams per cup for my base of soups, Amazon sells powdered chicken bone broth which I've seen people mix into potatoes, etc. I struggled with protein until a few weeks ago and I still use a shake or powder or BOTH. My nutritionist said fluids come first then protein, so that's what I do.

What was your first food after the liquid stage?
rosiec223 replied to QueenEB's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I made a black bean puréed soup. YUM! Then next meal was puréed hard boiled egg with either low fat mayo or Greek yogurt. That’s where I am right now. Love hearing the other options thanks everyone! -
What was your first food after the liquid stage?
DavidOso replied to QueenEB's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My best lesson to share with you is this, you won't be able to eat much, so make sure it tastes Delicious! I love condiments, salsa, curry, etc. A bit of tuna and greek yogurt, think tuna salad. Maybe only 1 T of each...Go slow. There is nothing worse that feeling Too Full. You won't feel it in your stomach, but your shoulder may hurt. I know, weird. Good luck. -
Any June 2018 Sleevers in Here?!
TallyJeepGirl replied to BurpeeZombie's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hello everyone, I have been stalking this site for a good 3-4 weeks gathering great tips, so thank you. I am scheduled to have VGS Surgery on 6/22/18. I have almost completed my 2 week liquid diet. I have found it to be easy, but you can do anything for 2 weeks. It's being able to do it for the long haul that is the problem. I have enjoyed Premier Protein shakes as a meal replacement for years. I purchased a variety of flavors, I usually buy the chocolate at Costco because of the cost, unfortunately they do not have any other flavors. I bought banana and strawberry flavor of Premier Protein at Walmart.com. and have sugar-free popsicles and jello in the refrigerator along with a variety of Greek yogurt flavors. I think with any meal plan being prepared is the key. So far I am down 10 lbs in 11 days. -

My liquid diet isn’t too bad. 3 protein shakes a day and they asked that I also eat 2 yogurts but I can only manage 1. Your liver must not need to be shrunk much. Lucky you! And same about the nothing after midnight. I don’t mind the not eating food part but I LOVE water and my surgery is late in the day (3:15pm, have to be there by 1:45pm) so I will be parched for a while, lol -

Mhy12784 replied to annanay1's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Im not going to encourage you to experiment. But rather if you do experiment, be smart about it. I see way too many posts on here of people doing idiotic things like experimenting with fried chicken or pizza at 2 weeks out. You absolutely dont want to be one of those people. However if you do decide you want to try to push the limits, be smart and do your homework. For example I was craving eggs early on after surgery, but according to my doctors instructions no eggs until week 4 or something. However I saw tons of people on here whose doctors allowed them soft scrambled eggs much earlier and tolerated fine. So I did my "research" and "experimented" making sure to eat only a small amount of eggs and eating them VERY slow. I also did the same thing with PB2 peanut butter powder as well (adding it to smoothies,pudding, yogurt etc). These things were outside of my doctors instructions, but I did it in a slow well thought out way that wouldnt cause me distress. So basically IF you are going to be a rebel. Do it in a matter where you think research and behave in an overly cautious matter. Its a far better option than being one of those people who trys to make blended pizza 3 days out or something else ridiculous. -

Yeah, I was able to get in 3 shakes and 1 yogurt. And adding the yogurt into the rotation was pushing it honestly. I’m not even hungry. I did have a sugar free popsicle, but that was because it was extremely hot today. I just drank water between protein shakes. I knew they gave me an easy diet, lol. Don’t know how easy the full liquid part will be for the 2 days before surgery. Also, day of surgery I’m going to be feeling dehydrated. No water after midnight and my surgery is late in the afternoon...oh well, I’ll live 😂 -
Not Your Typical Pre Op Diet Post
Sleeved36 replied to TakingABreak's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I was definately grumpy about not being able to eat post-op, but that was head hunger and grieving for food. My program allowed scrambled eggs and yogurt/cottage cheese on the liquid diet. After I tried scrambled eggs I felt immediately full and it was tough to digest them. This helped me to see that I really needed just liquids for a while and that it was head hunger bc my body wasn't ready for anything else. It was probably better for my family that I wasn't a grumpy, hangry b***h for 2 weeks before surgery. Just for a little bit after. 😉 I did a low-carb diet once a few years ago (Way pre-op). One day when I got home from work my husband had made mac and cheese and poured a glass of wine. He told me to eat it bc he would rather me be round than bitchy.
