Bad taste in mouth/disgusted with good?
DandelionSun replied to destructapie's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I just started soft foods and have had the hardest time with things tasting burnt. The bone broths that I loved prior to surgery taste horrible so I rely on protein shakes, eggs, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, cheese and I found a no sugar jerky at Target that I can tolerate. All that dairy is hard on the bowels so I still take my stool softener from time to time. Last night I was trying to get my second shake in and I just couldn’t do. All of a sudden there was this thick clot of something in my mouth - I think the shake was building up on my tongue or something. I had to go in and scrape my tongue with a spoon to get all the buildup of the protein shake off. It was gross and I couldn’t finish the shake after that. -

High protein meal/snack ideas, Hair loss, overeating
Erin18 replied to Erin18's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I like the snack box idea! I could totally see my own version of those P3 snack things. Minus the ham/turkey. The taste of ham and turkey lunch meat just tastes gross to me right now. So nuts, fruit and cheese or nuts veggies and cheese. Or instead of cheese, add Hummus or the Greek yogurt ranch dip we can make. It's still hard for me to eat the right things since it's not readily available so yes, I need to write down the meals I want to make and go grocery shopping. I drink more water than I have been, but still not enough. Nowhere near my protein goal either. I am thinking about keeping my carbs lower as well, but more than 60, maybe 100? I'm definitely having a great experience with this, no regrets at all. My weight has been going down and that's awesome to me 🙂 -
I just could not do puree, The texture was very no no to my jumbled up taste buds. I strained soup and ate soft cheese, protein yogurts and made set egg custards

Homemade Pancakes. I only had 1 which is 1/6th the calories tracked This is my first time using Greek yogurt in pancakes and I think this is my favorite way to make them. I remember being a child and watching my brother make pancakes from scratch for everyone and now understanding it’s a labor of love (because it’s easier to buy frozen) but getting the “these are amazing” comments are priceless. Now if could only get everyone to enjoy kale salad with me… Doubtful -
Nothing as severe as yours but I get horrible hypoglycaemia when I eat carbs/sugar. But it’s addictive and the world is full of it so October succumb - sometimes accidentally but often just through weariness! Anyhoo - for me low carb works. If I’m eating Keto I’m fine apart from cramps and palpitations. banana’s definitely spike my sugar and set off cravings - I try to stick to berries and yogurt. hope you get some help with this - hypo can be terrifying and feeling ill all the time is what we wanted to leave behind!!!

speaking of yogurt, this one is my FAVE. it's SuPEr thick and lusciously creamy but u pay for it in calories (200 cals for 3/4 cup serving, and 10% fat!)...but sooo good.. i just buy the plain though, i find flavoured yogurts too sweet. -

This is the yogurt I’m in love with. For a while I wasn’t able to eat yogurt without my stomach hurting. This one does just fine!! It’s Coconut Protein Yogurt. 25grams of protein /3 sugars/4 fat grams/8 carbs/170 calories. I put Jumbo blueberries in this and eat this for breakfast -

Ricotta bake sounds so good, I'll check that out thanks! Good thing I love cheese and eggs! I feel like during the pureed stage cottage cheese and yogurt are going to be my only friends 🤣🤣 -
We have surgery the same day! I started my liquid diet on Monday. I’m on day 5. I’ve gotten into a groove and feel comfortable right now. Chewing ice and eating 2 yogurts a day has really helped. I also love the core power chocolate shakes.

It has been hard. I’m not even 9 days in. I’ve found a groove. I’m enjoying chewing on ice as a snack 😂 Also, yogurts have given me something to spoon. Good luck!

Protein cookie dough-it’s sooo good!!!
SuziDavis replied to SuziDavis's topic in Regular foods (stage 4)
This is just cottage cheese and protein... so it's got all the things we need and nothing bad in it. It tastes good enough to eat with out adding chips, and there's a lot of yogurts that are worse for you. -
Its really hard not to be in full regret mode at night. Im 2 weeks out and during the day I'm fine no pain or anything. However, when I go to bed I get about 2 hours sleep and then wake up in excruciating pain under left ribs that goes around to my back. I have been to the ER and they checked my heart and lungs, they checked my sleeve for leaks, they checked me for clots, and nothing. This pain is really unbearable. All I'm eating is thinned out greek yogurt, drinking protein drinks, Jello, drinking gatorade zero, water, and gatorlyte zero, and broth. I'm taking a ppi, gasx, stool softener, and laxative. I dont have a gallbladder, Im sleeping sitting up. I don't know what Im doing wrong. I am really trying to stay positive but this pain is making it hard and making me feeling like I ruined my life. Really praying someone on here has some experience with this and can give me some insight.

I used dark chocolate in mine to limit the sugar. And also used sugar free maple syrup. My flour was carbalose flour. My protein only has 3g sugar a serving and 110 calories, so this ended up being a great snack to leave in the fridge. Cookie dough recipe 16oz container of cottage cheese 1/4 cup maple syrup 2 tsp vanilla 2 cups almond flour(or preferred flour) 1/2-2/3 cup protein powder of choice 1 cup chocolate chips Blend the cottage cheese, syrup and vanilla till it looks like yogurt, then mix in the rest. Adjust to taste.

When I had my original surgery, I added black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes to my broths. It got me through the bland phase. I know it’s difficult the first few weeks until you can eat more solid food. What I’ve done with ricotta cheese, yogurt, sugar-free pudding and cottage cheese is to add Splenda and extracts or professional flavorings (like cake decorators use; I did some cake decorating). Missing pumpkin pie? Add pumpkin pie extract or flavoring to ricotta cheese. I use flavorings by Lorann Oils. You can find some at Michaels, Joann, and local cake and candy supply stores. You can also order them online at www.lorannoils.com.

Best Vanilla Protein that isn’t Premier
BabySpoons replied to Shanna NYC's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I am not a big morning breakfast food person either, so I usually drink mine. I haven't tried mixing my protein into my coffee yet though. Usually, will have my cup of caffeine then go workout. Try to drink my protein as soon as I can following. I use an unflavored powder so I can add to food or drink. I also buy in bulk. New World 100% Whey Isolate Protein Powder, 26g Protein, Servings & Flavors Vary - Walmart.com I really enjoy this brand and never tire of it since I'm always changing up my flavors using dark cocoa, peanut butter powder, crystal light flavors, Greek yogurt etc. Yesterday I mixed up a chocolate peanut butter shake that was really yum with skim milk. Sweeten with Stevia when needed. Not sure how this mixes with hot liquids though. But now I'm inspired to try it with a cold coffee brew. -

Yea I can see how it sounds expensive but they are big. So you can eat them for breakfast like at least four times for one. So that comes out to $1. So not really expensive when you think about a meal. Even if you paired it w a yogurt. -

JUNE SURGERY BUDDIES
sleevedinthe817 replied to Mira88's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yay a fellow Texan! I’m up in north Texas. I had my surgery in Plano, but that’s about an hour from where I actually live. I guess that amount of weight loss is normal? I started at a slightly higher weight not too far off from yours so we seem to be tracking about the same, but I bet you’ll pass me up soon. From what I’ve seen, the weight falls off of men a little faster. This week has been slower so far. I’m down about 5lbs. Food is still going okay. I’ve had yogurt, strained soups and a tiny bit of pureed beans. Nothing crazy and only very small amounts. I’m able to finish my protein shakes and I can drink around 65-70oz of fluids for the day. You’re so lucky you get to eat eggs. I’ve been craving them. My first post-op appointment is next Tuesday. Maybe he’ll let me then too. -
I had a hard time with the soft food phase too. I was REALLY looking forward to a deviled egg, but now eggs make me nauseous, and I was sick of yogurt. Mashed potatoes were allowed, but not encouraged because of the carbs, so I would have mashed potatoes with cheese or with unflavored protein powder and garlic every couple days and Tyson has a flavorful frozen chicken fajita that I heat with bone broth to make it moist and soft and chew the heck out of it. I got bored with refried beans really quick but adding taco sauce and cheese helped. If you like to cook (I don't) you can find a lot of things you can do with foods to make them more appealing. My phase 3 allowed meats other than beef, which was restricted to once a month. I was supposed to work up to it, but I added it pretty quick because I tolerated it well. Maybe you are allowed a turkey burger as long as you chew it really well? I'm the type of person who craves when I can't have something, so I have to allow myself little cheats. I find that as long as I CAN, I can resist better and don't get carried away with the cheating. For example, I craved salt and would occasionally suck on a salt and vinegar chip or 3 until dissolved. Those salt cravings are almost non existent now. Talk with your dietitian about your cravings and alternatives. I confessed to her about the chips and that I found a carb conscious tortilla that I'd use 1/2 of for my refried beans. She was OK with it as long as I showed restraint and tolerated it. Keep those food logs up and don't lie to your dietitian. Being accountable will help you stick to your diet. They are there to help you, not judge you. At the tail end of my phase 3 when they upped my calorie and protein goals she allowed me to add nuts as long as I chew it into peanut butter consistency.

Will I ever enjoy food again?
maintenanceman replied to Heatherhei's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
The first few weeks (months) post-op are not at all indicative of what life with WLS is like. At this point, 16 mo post-op, I can eat and tolerate pretty much anything I want. The thing is, my tastes have changed so dramatically. I don't crave garbage food anymore. For breakfast, I used to eat chicken biscuits, fries, muffins, and other junk. This morning, I had a bowl of greek yogurt with banana, berries, and granola, and it was the most delicious thing ever. I could force feed myself the garbage breakfast, but I wouldn't enjoy it. Over time, you figure out your new anatomy and reshape your eating to accommodate it. Even now, almost a year and a half post-op, I'm still testing things out, seeing what works and what doesn't. That's the whole point of the surgery... to force you to make better choices.
