I Need More Protein. Please Help!
dry_gulch_02 replied to Sammatha's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
All these ideas are good. But wow, I buy Bariatric Advantage meal replacements in a bag and only pay $60 a bag. I order it straight from them. I generally add frozen blueberries and cinnamon and it comes out like a brilliant blue cinnamon streusel ice cream. I guess I will get tired of it but haven't yet. It is still pricey but I figure it really isn't bad, with the things I add it works out to about $2 a serving, which is a meal. I use the greek yogurts as they have so much protein, but I love yogurt and the Greek is so much more 'yogurty'. You could add one to your shake mixes to change the flavor some. I started doing that because I tried to go vegetarian and my hair started falling out. -
When you were on the Pre-op diet....
Gaffer replied to susansilver's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
They dont want to eat yogurt an cottage cheese for 3 weeks? :heh: I guess I did'nt really have this problem as my wife could fend for herself and Jr. just eats formula and baby food. What I found to be harder were those social situtations where you did not want to tip people off that I was pre-op, especially when my diet consisted of shakes, pickles and salad. Andrew -
My doctor/hospital requires a 3 week pre-op diet. I started my diet 2 weeks early. In those 2 weeks I lost 15 pounds so I'd say it's worth starting your diet early. I too was told about the need to shrink the liver. My doctor's pre-op diet is pretty painless. Slim Fast for Breakfast, Lean Cuisine for lunch and dinner (keep it under 300 calories). I'm allowed 1 cup of cooked or 2 cups uncooked veggies and a 90 calorie yogurt. I can also have all the Crystal Light I can drink and sugar free Jell-O. If you're not into frozen meals, 4 Slim Fast shakes are allowed. I'm pretty happy on this diet and not really hungry. It's helping me shrink my stomach down and I love the fact that I've lost weight before the surgery. If I can do some now, that only helps me in the long run. Take care!

I'm supposed to start my pre-op diet on 7/31 but, like many of you, have begun trying to ease my way into it. The team at NYU wants me to consume no more than 1000 calories per day and 50 grams of Protein, minimum. Their suggestions were 4-5 protein shakes a day and/or low-sodium broth. I can have up to two cups of non-starchy veggies as well. I'm planning on shakes for Breakfast, a salad for lunch and broth for dinner. Snacks will be additional shakes. Good news is: I can make my own I bought the unjury powder (vanilla, flavorless and chicken soup) and will blend them up with non-fat plain yogurt and frozen, no sugar added fruits.

Banded 1 week ago and I'm starving!!!!
soonergirl replied to Baby Phat's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Baby Phat - Did your Dr. say two weeks of Clear Liquids?? Or can you move to full liquids?? I was banded the day after you and I too was STARVING!!!!! I called the Dr.s office yesterday and they said that I was good to move to full liquids. For me this meant cream of mushroom soup blended and then put through a strainer - my husband said I acted like a different person afterwards. I am not telling you what is ok for week two - but you might check with your doc to see if you can at least start adding some full liquids. I went to the market and discovered a whole world of liquids - I got a number of homeade soups that I have strained - brocoli and cheese, cream of mushroom, tomato bisc. I also bought a little strainer with a wooden tool that I can work these through. Amazing how much more fulling these things can be. Also there is another thread that a number of us banded around the same time have been sharing ideas on called - I am banded under the general section. Bondgirl shared some great ideas for shakes and myomy gave us a link to these sugarfree syrups that you use to make coffee drinks - we tried them this morning in the EAS cappachino Protein shakes - I don't miss startbucks anymore!! Odwalla also maked this honey vanilla soy Protein Drink that has been yummy - HMMMMMM I will post some more ideas - but ask your Dr. - I was really confused on their "liquid stages" and didn't think I could start adding a few things - I have also added sugar free pudding eaten really slowly and sugar free popscicles and sugar free fudgecicles. I can also add the yogurt smoothie drinks. Hope this helps, please let me know what your Dr. says!!!!! Congrats on one full week under your band!! -
I had my consult and now my next step is to book my surgery date. I haveto do the pre-op diet for two weeks, like some of you I HATE cottage cheese. What yogurt should I stick to? I know I shouldn't have any with the fruit bottoms and it should be sugar/fat free. Is there any one type thats better then the others (not a big yogurt person).
-
I'd respectfully disagree with Grady here. Advice varies in the medical world & each body/stomach is unique. You may require the odd nutritious snack, especially if its high protein. I'm exercising at a level that requires more protein than many at my stage (I'm pretty new to this too!) My nutritionist wants me to have protein yogurts or bars post work out to prevent muscle loss. I know someone who has a long thin stomach & can't fit enough in at normal meal times so must supplement by snacking.

Having A Hard Time With The Words "pureed Food"... Ick!
Ms skinniness replied to DanaInNewOrleans's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow, you are totally stressing on this! you are not necessarily going to have nausea or that great level of pain after the surgery. The doc will assess and send you home with the necessary meds to assist with any after affects. Just relax, take a deep breath and it will happen and be over with. Take 1 step at a time. I get grossed out with eating pureed food so I didn't. I at a lot of soft foods like yogurt, sf puddings, etc. After the surgery the stomach is so swollen we can't eat that much anyways. Just a couple of bites at the most. Your surgeon's office will give you the stages of food and what you can eat, and what you can't eat. it will be fine. CONGRATS on your decision to join our club. -
Calling all November Sleevers...
kinkymoo replied to snog's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery was Monday 11/9. Doc said it couldn't have gone better, but i had real difficulty keeping pain meds down on tuesday, so they made me stay for another night. One incision is crazy painful, the rest I don't feel at all. It took 4 staff and an ultrasound machine to get a line on me, so I look bruised and battered. Because of my uncontrollable painkiller induced nausea and vomiting, I could only keep Water down. The hospital food was naaaaaasty. They released me yestersay. Today I've had cream Soup and yogurt. My tummy is making lots of gurgley noises, and it hurts to cough, sneeze and laugh. -
How much is normal weight gain durning everyones favorite time of the month/
Noturningback15 replied to Bobthedog's topic in The Gals' Room
The most I have ever gained is 2 or 3 pounds while on. I would contribute most of that to the extra sweets and frappucianos I had during that time period. This last time I didn't gain a pound. I actually cut back on my calories on purpose for this special occasion! LOL! I decided I don't like seeing any kind of gain no matter what so for now on I will be doing a repeat of last month. I must have at least one bag of M&M's though and one frozen yogurt treat with chocolate and waffle cone pieces in it. Those sugar free fudge popcicles seem to help control my cravings some though. -
I Need More Protein. Please Help!
NWgirl replied to Sammatha's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have also ordered an unflavored Protein called Fundamental Protein. It doesn't have any other additives other than they whey, which is nice because they usually have sweeteners, etc. If you bought unflavored, you could mix it with all liquids, yogurts, Soup, etc... -
I Need More Protein. Please Help!
Daddyof4 replied to Sammatha's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Nobody has mentioned the one I like - Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Protein. I've had chocolate and strawberry and they provide 26 g of protein and only 8 g of carb. I have to say, though, they taste really good when made with skim milk but not so good with water. The milk adds protein, though. I don't care for Muscle Milk and cannot stand yogurt no matter how many times I try it with different stuff added, it just tastes spoiled to me. -
No blame here, so take this as it is given. Most of us have had the same issues, it takes some learning about what works for you. 1. You might not be able to eat the things you have chosen. Some can't do chicken, or beef or something fried. 2. Slow down, also try eating alone. With a recent fill I have found that if I talk I will have a problem of some sort with the meal. It's been over a year but this started with the last fill. 3. If I drink and eat I am done for. I seem to take in to much air and create a bubble in my chest very, very painful. 4. Small bites well chewed. 5. Don't drink at least an hour before eating, might make it a little better. 6. I am tighter in the morings so I do a Protein drink. Since the fill I am also tighter after 6, so dinner has to be by 5 or I can't get more than 2 bites down. Now this is BIG, at 4 months how are you clothes fitting? I wasn't loosing on the scale but my clothes had gotten to big. Sometimes as the body adjusts to the change the weight might not come off, but relocates moving from the tummy, legs, face or the back. Giving the smaller size pants and a better overall appearance. You aren't doing it wrong, listen to your body. You don't want to be uncomfortable so stop at 2 bites, wait an hour and have a Protein Drink or some yogurt. You may have been given info from the dietian about Snacks or 5 or 6 really small meals until you stomach is done healing.

Yeah I feel tight in the morning when I drink my pills and eat my yogurt. But by lunch I'm good. And if I don't chew good then my band screams at me to slow down. This is awesome for me. I am excited to get on the scale every morning. I'm never hungry anymore Like I was In the beginning. I love my band.

Day 5 Post Op - Feeling weak. Normal?
Teachamy replied to lapnicky's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
The shakiness could also be low blood sugar due to low calories. It will get better! I promise! Something with carbs like a bit of yogurt or cottage cheese will help, once you are able to eat it. I also experienced low blood pressure, and my doc. dropped my BP meds 2 weeks after surgery. -

It doesn't feel like the weight took a while to pack on. I feel like I could gain 2lbs just looking at a cheeseburger. This "stall" feels horrible and I'm kind of feeling like a fool. To go through surgery and be limiting myself to water, cottage cheese, tuna, yogurt, ice pops, bland scrambled eggs, etc.....basically absolutely nothing with any real flavor, and be stalled out at 322lbs? Totally unacceptable.

Already gaining & freaking out!
Jobber replied to LuvDeeDee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try to stay away from any "pureed" foods that contain sugar or other carbs like Applesauce, etc. Get a Ninja and puree fresh produce and lean proteins and you'll be good to go. Also, make sure your yogurts and snacks are as fat and calorie free as possible. -
I Need A Lil Help Please:)
notime replied to livinglifejohnson's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My nutritionist said to get protein drinks/powders that have most of their protein from whey. She also said to avoid the drinks Scaredoftheunknown identified. In addition, she really pushed plain yogurt, the kind without the fruit in it, and said it doubles as a fluid. I have taken a fierce liking to Fage 2% plain yogurt which has 23 grams of protein per cup. The Fage tastes like sour cream, so some do not like it. -
sounds like I am right where I should be.. still uncomfortable, scraed to take much of anything and when I do it feels like it dosnt go down for hours. At times I get more of a back pain with this. I am also finding posioning difficult. Definately not comfortable if I take a few bites of yogurt then lay back to watch a little tv. Feel like I need to stay straight up and down

Wastefulness
Catracks replied to ChunkyAndFluffy75's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I save everything in little tupperwares. I am not able to throw good food away. I plan my menuus out so that meat cooked for dinner goes into lunch the next day. I don't cook something new until I've finished the leftovers. Cottage cheese and yogurt are easy. Just take 1/4 cup out. The chunky part of the Soup could be frozen and pureed or used when the time comes. I've got chicken breast and gravy, 4 types of pureed soup and crock pot beef stew frozen in mini tupperwares for use as needed. What I learned from Eggface is that leftovers can be revamped into something else for the next day. She does these little quiche things that use leftover meats and cheese. They can also be casseroled or used as toppings for pizza (crust is low carb wheat tortillas). The cool part of all this small portions is that I can afford beef fillet mignon, sashimi grade ahi and lobster for the amount I eat. YAY!!!! -
I Found a Non-Pill Cure for Post Op Constipation
kpay10 replied to unbesleevable1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I LOVE chia seeds and eat them almost every day. A simple idea is to add a tablespoon to yogurt or your protein shake. Both are yummy! There are tons of Chia recipes online, too!
