1 Wk Post Op And I've Already Cheated Several Times.....
sam3841 replied to ktmoss's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You used the term noob, I don't like it, but looking above at some of the people who responded most of them said they are in post-op diet plans. After reading your post again I was rash in my comment and I am sorry. I just don't think scolding her will help. Looking back on my surgery in 2010, I wish I could tell myself not to cheat cause the torture will be over soon, but I don't think it would have made any difference. That being said, if you have cheated, I would tell your Dr at your next visit or call your nurses line. They know how you are feeling and have good solutions. When I did call them cause I was starving, or at least thought I was, she suggested adding Fiber to my Protein shakes, sugar free fudgesilces (sp) they are 25 calories. If you are in the misguided stage add fiber to Greek yogurt. Chewing gum when you get hungery really helped me. -

Thanks for sharing that! I'll have to check it out. Also, the tip of putting protein powder in the yogurt is another good idea. -
Yogurt with only 3 carbs & 20 g protein!!!
bostonmomma replied to amey_idaho's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
try chobani! Greek yogurt! 18 g of protein. I get plain...so very low in carbs....and I had stevia...yum! -
EDIT - The subject should read 12 g Protein NOT 20 g protein...so so very sorry!!! I had to share my new discovery... Kroger Carbmaster yogurt, full 8 oz cup.... 80 calories, 4 carbs & 1 Fiber (so 3 NET CARBS!!) and 12 grams of protein...and it only cost 40 CENTS. And it's NOT CHALKY or gritty like Greek Yogurt can be, smooth and creamy and less calories and carbs than greek yogurt. It's delicious, I'm eating the cherry flavor right now. :ohmy: It's Kroger brand and I got it at Smith's but Fred Meyer carries Kroger brand too. I love yogurt for Breakfast and now I can have my yogurt and eat it too

AFmom replied to amey_idaho's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Thanks for sharing about the yogurt! I have bought the Greek yogurt, and I like it, but it is PRICEY...even at Sam's! We don't have Kroger in New Mexico, but we do have Smith's. I will check it out :thumbup: -
I puréed and added unflavored Protein powder to every kind of Soup I could find (that didn't contain rice or noodles)....cream of shrimp, lobster bisque, butternut squash, split pea, French onion, bean with ham, ginger Thai, Chinese hot and sour, Tuscan chicken broth, cream of asparagus, broccoli cheese, chili, etc. Also had refried Beans with melted cheese, soft scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, hummus, plain Greek yogurt flavored with Protein Powder and/or Torani syrups, mashed potatoes with unflavored protein powder, homemade guacamole, egg salad, and pureed tuna fish with mayo and mustard. And of course still drinking Protein shakes through all the stages.

Cheated on Pre-op Diet Need Help!
wishmeluck13 replied to luvinke's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey I am right there with you. I am on day three of my two week liquid pre-op diet and yes I cheated as well. I had a broiled fish and salad (italian dressing) from Captain D's. At first I felt guilty, but I feel sooo much better and I have been continuing my sugar free drinks and yogurt. I feel I can now do it! I know you can as well! Good Luck! -
Anyone for October 2020?
SabanFan replied to barbieater's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Looks like your post was cut little short, but glad to see you are acclimating to the new life and getting around. I have three more days of liquid and can't wait to jump into the next phase. Hopefully the addition of some yogurt will help with the "black tongue" issue I've noticed of late. -
Anyone for October 2020?
SabanFan replied to barbieater's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No soft food until week 4-5 - yikes. Did she/he provide any recommendations on how to get there other than siping on protein shakes all day? And by soft, can you have yogurt, cottage cheese, and oatmeal now? Adding another protein shake would add some calories and plenty of protein until you hit week 4 later this week. Even then, an egg is only about 6 gas of protein compared to the 20-30 in 11oz of protein shake. -

Ya I used low fat miracle whip n i just used more mustard than miracle whip to cut down on fat but I will have to try hummus, avacado n yogurt! Thanks everyone! -
I can't help but smirk when I read this. I went through the same chit. Lol I know it's hard. Gets a little easier each week. Some faster for others. I am 6wks and guess what I had for dinner? Greek yogurt. That's it. Why? Cause I was feeling like u. Solids are still hard for me.

I also really like Chobani. I am in full liquid stage right now and I have a modified Chobani as my protein for breakfast. I add a couple tablespoons of vanilla protein powder, two teaspoons benefiber, Chobani 0% fat with fruit, 1 Tablespoon milk, some spendra and mix in a small tupperware with a stick blender. This makes the yoghert more liquidy (greek yogurt is thicker than reg.) and the fruit is minced. My favorite part of the full liquid diet. I would say it's about 25 grams protein.

I started to get the Greek yogurt with fruit... however I saw the crazy amount of sugar in it and chose not to go there. I use Stivia and other alternatives to sugar, try to keep the additives from SF/LC down as much as possible, so I feel like I'd be back tracking if I started adding things to my diet that have that kind of sugar count. Just me. Also, I don't know how true it is, but I read on one of the WL sites I frequent that any amount of protein over 30g at one time is excessive, and doesn't get absorbed. Just what that WL Dr. of Nutrition said. Haven't had a chance to check with my nut yet.

I mix a pile of chocolate protein powder with my plain non fat yogurt and it is almost like chocolate pudding!, its a loaded protein deal for sure somewhere in the 50's. Kind of a slider so I dont do it very often but when the urge for chocolate hits you HAVE to do something!

I have kaiser too and have questions about my diet. I just started stage 3 where it says that protein supplements no longer count as fluid needs. I called kaiser and was only able to leave a message. Can you help with my question? Does the clear protein drinks count as fluid or the isopure that I make with water count as fluid? I'm afraid I'm not going to make the protein AND fluid intake minimums at this stage. I'm worried now. The only "food" I had today was 1/2 a yogurt. Scared but excited. -
Last time i did a #2 was monday (the day before my surgery). I did clear liquids/protein shakes tues/wed/thurs and for past 3 days i have been doing yogurt/pudding as well. Err, when should i do a #2? I took some milk of mag tonite, the lowest dose, and nothing happened. I am not dehydrated cuz my urine looks fine, just no other stuff yet?

12 days post RNY I feel fine, no pain, no discomfort I can drink water easily, 2-4 regular sips in a row. I can eat 1/2 cup or 4 oz of food in one meal without any discomfort. I think I could actually eat more, but I don't plate more food. I finish what I plate though. Ex: 1/2 cup of blended chili with 1 oz ff greek yogurt, 2oz grilled cod with 2 oz cottage cheese and slice of grilled tomato, 1 egg mashed and 2oz of mashed cauliflower, etc. These seem like big meals. They are all in my NUT's sample menu but at the upper limit of allowed portions. I called NUT and she just said to chew slowly and stop after 30 min. I do chew slow and still finish within 30 min. The thing is I do not feel full or satisfied. I also don't feel hungry. I sort of feel nothing at all. I find this very weird and frustrating. Overall I get about 80 g of protein and 500-650 calories. I'm down 10 lbs in 12 days and I feel that its low. Not sure what to do or how to proceed. I feel that without feeling full or satisfied I'll get off track really fast. Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

Very small amounts of food-normal?
goodlife replied to MinOhio's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
wow...I'm 18 days out today and I can eat a whole cup of creamed Soup at a time. I can drink pretty much like normal. Thicker stuff like greek yogurt I can eat about half to 3/4 of a container at a time. What happens if you eat more than that? Are you feeling full? I'd definitely contact your doctor. -
I was just banded on August 1st. I have the same thing gurgling not much of an appetite.. but one other thing I do notice is that when I tried Jello and yogurt it hurt as soon as it hit my stomach.. the yogurt more than the jello... is that normal too? The pain I feel is more int he center by my heart it feels bruised and as though it's tight hard to breathe from a mass being in there.. is that the same pain you are experiencing?

I'm one of those who experiences hunger...all the time..It usually hits me within 2 hours after eating. I've been on Pepcid since day one, even tried switching to Prilosec and went back to the Pepcid. I still have hope that it will get better after the 3 mos mark (next week). I feel like I'm eating constantly which is what I was hoping the sleeve would eliminate, so pretty bummed about it. It did get somewhat better when I removed some of the carbs I was eating (banana, yogurt). I know it's not head hunger. I just thought this was going to be a little easier, but it still takes a lot of discipline, planning, willpower and exercise to keep losing.

As someone who rarely cooks is it weird that I am ridiculously proud of myself for digging out my slow cooker this week? I have been thinking about investing in a 3 in 1 cooker, but since I rarely use my old-fashioned slow cooker I though I had better give it a whirl. I raised my pantry and used a can of black beans, two cans of Rotel tomatoes, one brick of Greek yogurt cream cheese, a few shakes of Mexican seasoning, and two frozen chicken thighs. I made it on Monday and will probably still be eating it this Friday. I still have chicken thighs. What EASY recipe should I try next?

Hi everyone! I was sleeved on 10/14 and I have not burped since then even though I feel like I should be able to. I can get small little burps out but they feel forced- they're not like the burps I used to have before surgery. I'm still mostly on liquids even though I'm cleared for pureed food (I'm so scared I'm going to get a leak) but I have had pureed beef, Greek yogurt, and some creamed soups (not real cream). Will I start burping if I eat more pureed food?? It's getting kind of uncomfortable and I'm getting scared I will never burp again lol!! Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks!!

Broccoli slims you down! And so do other fiber-rich foods like berries, apples, green beans and stone-ground whole wheat. They make you feel full, so you take in fewer calories. And fiber may even prevent some of the fat you eat from being absorbed by your body. Lean protein ignites your metabolism! Every time you eat 4 oz. of salmon, chicken, turkey--even lean red meat--you ignite your metabolism, causing your body to melt fat faster. Low-fat dairy whittles your middle! Swapping two glasses of whole milk for low or non-fat milk will save you 135 calories a day. You can cut 13 pounds a year just by doing that! Lose even more by switching to low-fat yogurt and cheese for full-fat versions. Tea gives you a boost! Drinking green tea can raise your metabolism by up to 4%, making your body burn extra calories.

85 lbs in 1 year??
Humming Bird replied to BaileyRose's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think the #1 basic guideline for me is to get to my green zone and stay there. Some of my other basics: -Know my full signals and stop eating -Stay busy when head hunger sets in (sewing, crafts, cleaning house...) - Stay away from fast food - Stick with fat free or sugar free the best I can -Take my vits. -Try to drink fluids between meals. I like iced tea and coffee, and sometimes water. I do not measure and am sure it's not 64oz a day. -I drink a yogurt smoothie with protein powder every weekend (used to more often) -Try to eat a variety each day. Sometimes this is not easy because I do still never eat bread, pasta, rice, dense meats, eggs, fried foods....... -Weigh several times a week to make sure my weight does not creep up too much and then modify as needed. -I ate quite a bit of chili in my weightloss phase to get in protein. Not large amounts, just small amounts often. -I do not think of this "diet" or lap-band as a punishment
