2 weeks out. Who here has tried (and liked) refried beans?
tzbandtobypass replied to lovealways's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I found a different brand (it's organic and actually seemed "better" than PB2) at Vitamin Shoppe. The brand I bought is Just Great Stuff: http://www.bettylousinc.com/products_detail.php?id=287&ref=0 I bought a container of both the Peanut Butter and the chocolate peanut butter. They are both amazing and taste incredible mixed with the plain Greek Yogurt! I've also seen the PB2 on Amazon. -

You're usually on liquids for at least another week after surgery. Throw some yogurt (with no chunks of any fruit) in the mix as well. Lots of soup, clear juices and yogurt...

Help w/ protien powders ??
Michee replied to kitcatnap's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You don't have to do protien powders. You can use tofu, milk, and fruit to make a shake. If you are drinking milk or eating yogurt and eating fish/lentils/meat, you may be already getting enough protien -
My morning "muesli" - greek yogurt, walnuts, pumpkin, sunflower and chia seeds, cold hardboiled eggs, snall cans of salmon and tuna, babybel cheeses, cans of chick peas and three bean mix and my recent fave indulgence from the local thai restaurant - chicken satay skewers.

I have been using the car master brand at my local store Krogers I get the car master protein milk for my protein shakes and then I get the carbmaster key lime pie and cinnamon roll flavor yogurts. Yogurts are 9g protein in a 1/2 cup portion.

Hi Salsa, I've come to the point where I'm not surprised anymore to see that not one of my symptoms belongs to me alon-LOL. Yup, I count everything as Water. Even the popsicle I had yesterday. It hits the stomach as water. The water thing may or may not get better, but most of the time I don't mind having tea or decaf instead. The good news is everyday is better, and if I feel overstuffed at 700-800 calories a day, this is working. I have been told that as time goes on I may not get hungry much and may forget lunch, etc. but for now, I'm still healing and want to not lose muscle, so I eat very slowly but get the Protein in. This morning, I am not hungry or thirsty, but I'm slowly getting in my greek yogurt (5 oz container) and when I'm done I'll slowly start water or coffee. I'm just happy I haven't gagged, pb'd, etc, as yet. My BIL said just take it very very slow at each meal. I'm saving the fun for when I start to add new foods. Take care.

Struggling with staph infection before surgery...rant
Long2BFree posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went to the doc 10 days ago because my calf was bright red, swollen and hurting. Turns out I have a staph infection and am on 2 antibiotics. Well, I have another appointment this morning because it has gotten better but is not 100% gone. Now I have a rash on my leg and in my trunk area, a yeast infection and diarreha from the meds along with a constant headache from one of the meds. One of the worse things is that I'm eating more than usual because I get naseated if I don't have food in my tummy from the meds and I've gained 6 lbs since my visit with the surgeon a week ago. I'm also trying to eat 4 oz of yogurt 4x a day to help with the yeast. Grrr... I just hope this gets cleared so I can have my surgery in 3 weeks. I guess I should start a blog so I can rant on there...:embaressed_smile: -
Wow - -this is a really old post I found! But it seems to be a common problem with lap band patients. I belch and fart from dusk to dawn. I am 5 months post op and it isn't getting any better. It actually got REALLY bad after my 2nd fill. Anybody found anything to help stop these pesky problems? I am not consuming milk - -only soy and greek yogurt so it shouldn't be lactose intolerance. The belching and passing of gas is OUT OF CONTROL!!! (LOL)

For stomach content, volume is maybe better even though theoretically the same issue applies. A cup of whole strawberries weighs a lot less than if you cut them into quarters -- but that will also make a huge difference in your stomach. Whole, it's probably 5 to a cup, if you cut them, it's more like 10 and your stomach will surly feel that difference too. For counting calories and logging food weighing is pretty much a must if you want to be accurate. With our small calorie amounts - I am shooting for 900 - 100 calories over or under has a much bigger impact than in a 2000 calorie diet (2.2x as much, LOL) With my Protein, if I use 3 scoops and compare it to the weight, I am about 30% calories over -- I don't mind the extra protein, but it also is big calorie hit. Same with Cereal - 1 cup from a fresh box is much less than 1 cup from the bottom of the box which has much smaller pieces. With "loose" items or calorie dense items, I would not go without weighing it. Plus, for me it makes less of a mess. I have big yogurt containers so if I weigh out a portion, I don't have any additional dishes like measuring cups. I use the spoon I eat with and spoon it into the dessert bowl that is sitting on the scale. If eye-balling it works for you, that's great. For me, I am too much of a virgo to accept this "unknown".

Can I have some yogurt now ?!
natarshassleeve posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Today makes one week since my surgery I'm not set to see the doctor till tomorrow but I cannot deal with Clear liquids any longer anyone else going through this? I would really like to try some yogurt I've watched him videos on YouTube of people it seems that they are all from the UK and they said they were given yogurt in the hospital so I'm thinking yogurt maybe OK to try and I do have some in the fridgeis anyone else eating yogurt after one week Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Try vanilla yogurt. .. its really good... warm things seem to really feel good going down... have you tried cream of wheat?
-
Oikos Triple Zero is my best bet. I mix in a scoop of unflavored protein powder. I ate a lot of yogurt before surgery but find this particular brand works best for me. Too Good works great too..but I find that the texture is “off” for me. You can buy them on singles..which I did at first to see what I liked.

I am going to go to the store tomorrow and get appropriate foods for weeks 1-4. I am going to try and make the best of it. I love jello, milk and yogurt so it shouldnt be that bad. I found Premier protein shakes on Amazon. Anyone have any thoughts on Premier Protein drinks?
-
I agree bobbyswife. I don't want to fail. I've invested too much with my life change. I know all of this. I guess I needed some reinforcement and encouragement. Plus some good ideas to combat the cravings. Right now all I have is fruit, light and fit greek yogurt, healthy nut crunch and protein bars.

There are fast food items that wouldn't be too bad...just stick with the Proteins and leave out the carbs. Burger without the bun, grilled chicken, chili, fajita burritos (just don't eat the tortilla), Etc. I'm single and not a fan of cooking, so I get a lot of stuff from my local deli. BBQ ribs, broccoli bacon salad, turkey curry salad, egg salad (served on a slice of tomato), meatloaf that I cut up and freeze into individual meal portions, sushi. Also, I don't get a lunch break, so I always keep Protein Bars, mixed nuts, pumpkin seeds, and Jerky around to snack on while I'm driving. For sweets, I'm a fan of frozen pineapple chunks, frozen blueberries, and I make ice cream with protein powders, Greek yogurt, milk and Torani syrups. Just finished a batch of banana protein with peanuts and started a batch of muscle milk red velvet cake, caramel syrup and chopped walnuts. Frozen vanilla protein with OJ or mio tangerine drops taste just like a dreamsicle. If you do like to cook, but are bored with the same old stuff, there are great recipes on bariatricfoodie and the world according to eggface. And If you haven't tried them, Quest bar banana nut muffin or cinnamon bun flavors might make a good accompaniment with your coffee.

Unflavored protein powder - mix with what?
Alex Brecher replied to rs's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I mix unflavored protein powder into yogurt or soup quite often. I personally do not like Unjury and would suggest switching to another protein powder. We carry many options at https://store.bariatricpal.com/collections/protein-powders/flavor_unflavored . -
Candy is the one thing I haven’t been able to totally give up. I don’t eat a ton but do have a little each day. I did switch from anything sweet n low to truvia. It’s pretty good. I put it in my coffee, my plain yogurt.

I got sleeved on the 7th rather than the 6th. I was sleeved at a BMI of 30.6, I think I had previously said I was 31.6 but I was mistaken. I was told to stick mostly to water for my first week, so I have had 2 portions of home made chicken bone and vegetable broth each day and water throughout the week. The last few days my stomach has started to growl and churn, but otherwise its been pretty effortless, if not a chore to remember to drink my fluids and broth. I am feeling pretty weak tbh, My dog has bad back legs and I have to carry her around a lot and this has become a challenge. I get exhausted doing things I used to do effortlessly. Last night I made two soups for the first week of full liquid stage, Ive tried to cram as much nutrition in to them as possible. Both are made from home made chicken bone and vegetable stock and grilled chicken thighs, one is carrot and squash and the other is mushroom. They have been frozen in to individual containers. I am lazy when it comes to cooking, so its easier for me to make a weeks supply in one evening than to cook every day. This morning I started my transition to full liquids with a protein shake (powder + water) I am not particularly looking forward to starting full liquids because I dont know what to expect and I dont feel a drive to eat anything right now. I also have some greek yogurt, but keep forgetting to eat it. I dont have a feeling of fullness at all, If I drink too much I can get a pain, but otherwise im just measuring out my broth portions and hoping its enough. So that is pretty much how the first week has been for me, Hopefully I am on the right track.

Damn. Back to clear liquids!
Threetimesacharm replied to toasty's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Every doctor does have different eating plans. But just because they say to do it doesn't mean you have too. In my case at 19 days post op there is no way I can start purees yet, my body does not feel up to it yet, so listen to your body. My NUT is on board with this and says some can take 4 weeks to get to purees. Also I hear chicken should be the absolute last food to try, some say that canned, like tuna, may be easier. Stick to pureed eggs, tuna, soft fish, beans, cottage cheese and yogurt. -
Could you make a smoothie with yogurt, milk, and some liquid egg whites...maybe some fruit? They are pasteurized and 3 TBL has 5g of protein. I used to add liquid egg whites to my green smoothies and couldn't taste them.
-
Does anyone have any suggestions on other ways to get in protein? I have only been able to drink 1 or 2 sips lately. Its a brand and flavor I like. I used to love them, but now they repulse me. I'm two weeks post op. I can eat things like yogurt, applesauce,mashed potatoes, and oatmeal
