Cream Soups on full liquid post-op
Rose400491 posted a topic in GLP-1 & Other Weight Loss Medications (NEW!)
Hello! I’m currently one week post-op for my gastric sleeve. I’m back on full liquids for another 2 weeks. My nutritionist and dietitian said I’m able to have high protein soups AND/OR “Low Fat cream soups reconstituted with milk” I’m one week post op and I’ve only been drinking water and protein since surgery so no yogurt or jello (which I’m able to have but that’s all I ate pre-op I can’t stomach it anymore) I’ve seen a lot of people on here suggest, low sodium, low fat cream of chicken or mushroom then adding skim milk to it. With this restriction what’s the best thing to eat for soups?? -

Vegan foods for days 3-8 after surgery?
kidchick replied to TurtleGirl's topic in Vegetarian or Vegan Eating
I use Arbonne's protein shake mix - it's 100% Vegan and it's really good. Google Arbonne for someone close to you that sells it and they would be happy to give you a couple samples to try before you buy. Also, this is a bit pricy but so worth it when you don't have alot of options - Ruby Rockets sells Vegan pops and yogurt made with fruit and veggies. They even have a chocolate one. So good. https://www.rubyrockets.com/collections/all -
What’s your favorite thing to eat on your puréed diet?
Rose400491 replied to Rose400491's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I’m not big on cottage cheese but the Greek yogurt with fruit or goodies you dump in are really good! -
It's not excruciating, more like a dull stomachache most of the time. Unless it's a protein shake or yogurt, it hurts after I eat. And I eat SLOW. And chew like a cow with cud. Plain water still hurts as well, even a sip. Is this normal? I'm happy with my loss, but so tired of hurting all the time.

Had my sleeve one week ago today and feel great. Each day is getting better. I have no problems getting my fluids in, and mixing up my full fluids to keep it interesting with creamed Soups, yogurt, etc. Protein Shakes are getting easier to tolerate each day as well. On day of surgery, I was 283.1, and this morning I was 266.6! Looking forward to continuing the journey -

Hi all, First let me say this forum is the absolute best. It's really the extra support that I need. I am 8 days post op and starting to feel like myself again. The discomfort from gas is still there but nothing like a week ago. I'm learning how to get my 64 ounces of protein in and becoming quite creative with my meals (I mix crystal light in my plain Greek yogurt, yum). Can't wait to begin soft solids because then all my protein will come from food. My doctor completed my disability paperwork for up to 6 weeks. I was shocked, especially because I hear of people going back to work after a week. How long have others stayed out? I was thinking 3 weeks but don't want to stall my weight loss by sitting in the house. Best of luck to everyone. SW:311 CW:TBD GW:220 Sent from my SM-N920T using BariatricPal mobile app

What has been your biggest challenges and successes
kandywolf replied to eden30's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
The sipping in super hard. I am on my 7th day out. Also nothing cold. If I forget to warm it in my mouth before swallowing, it hurts. But I love ice cold! Besides the warming in my mouth, I noticed I really have to take my time, even eating yogurt. I thought about using a baby spoon. I have always been a guzzler for drinking, and a shoveler for eating. I have to be very careful and very vigilant on my drinking and eating, and try to slow down . -
Let's Play Another Round of "How I Get My Protein" post WLS
Meryline replied to FluffyChix's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Let's see. I'm 7 months post op, my NUT want me on more food because my latest BIA test also showed that my muscles are not getting enough nutrition and latest blood test shows my total protein is dipping. Since 6 weeks post op I have gotten all my protein from food (mostly high protein yogurt), but I now have to add in a shake a day to get enough. I get around 100g from food. Today looks like this Meal 1 - Oatmeal with flax seeds and pumpkin seeds around forgot that add that I have high protein yogurt in it as well. 15g and I a Iced Latte I'll get 22g Meal 2 - Chicken in Fajitas sauce and and 10g of dry pasta 27g (4-5oz) Meal 3 - Stew with lean meat, potatoes and carrots 18g (5oz) Meal 4 - Because I'm lazy, another stew 18g (5oz) Meal 5 - 125g of salmon and 50g of brussel sprouts 27.5 Meal 6 - Shake Without the shake I'm at 116g of protein, 43g of fat and 57g of carbs of a total of 1084 kcal. My nut wants me closer to 1400-1500 kcal. If I add the shake I'll get 141 protein, 46 fat and 64 carbs of a total of 1249 kcal. I meal prep so I know how much each portion has of everything. -

I just discovered nutritional yeast (2 tbsl = 60 calories & 9 g of complete protein). You can add it to all kinds of recipes. it has a kind of cheese/nutty taste). The name sounds yuk, but it is actually tasty and is another food item to play with. Also... I discovered powdered peanut butter too! Forgot how much I missed and loved peanut butter. 2 TBSp has 54 calories and 4.4 g protein. Mixed it with some banana and plain yogurt today and it was the BOMB. two more ideas for you... -
I'm not sure what your stage 2 diet allows, but I ate a lot of greek yogurt, cottage cheese, protein shakes and strained or creamed soups...

Sosewsue61 replied to kandywolf's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Try some whole milk yogurt. Drink a little juice just to bring it up or regular gatorade , chase it with lots of protein - pureed cottage cheese. Or call your bariatric clinic. The most important thing is to get the blood sugar to stay up to a normal level - if it goes much lower you could have a seizure and worse. -
Full Fat Mayo, cottage cheese, and yogurt
Nancy MBGC replied to Nancy MBGC's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I actually started this thread because I cannot stand the taste of low fat dairy ( except for some yogurts). My advice to you if you can handle the low fat versions of cheese, mayo, sour cream, and the like, is to go with them while you're trying to lose your weight. I, myself, just can't stand them. I am also on full liquids. Good heavens. Five more weeks of this?!?! Someone has GOT to be kidding me. A little low fat cheese is starting to look like Nirvana at this point.🤣 -
I'm feeling good! I can do the stairs to and from my apartment pretty comfortably now. I'm living off of water, crystal light, protein shakes (which I'm getting really sick of), and greek yogurt. Tonight, I'm having cream of tomato soup! My mothing in law made it for me and she said she took special care blending it to make sure there are no chunks.

How do you get your Dr to work with you to find the right thyroid meds for you? My GP handles my thyroid and he’s lousy. I told him I need to go to a specialist imo but he isn’t referring me. I don’t have a functioning thyroid. I took the radio active pill to kill it years ago. I’m 10 months po and have not lost anything for 3 mo [emoji24]. My gp lowered my levothyroxine from 150 mcg to 125 mcg 3 mo ago. My #’s haven’t been right since I started taking thyroid meds. I started adding genpro to my daily diet to boost my protein hoping the extra protein would restart the losing. Not helping. AM - genpro in 2-3 oz premier protein chocolate. 30 G protein am snack- 2 oz pistachios 12 G protein Lunch - 3 oz tuna 25 G protein Dinner- 2 oz filet 15 G protein 1/2 c low-fat cottage cheese 13 G protein Pm snack- yogurt 12 G protein 107 G protein total -
I am in the same boat as you unfortunately everything that is liquid gags me and won't go down. At first I had no problem drinking water and now it seems difficult to get that down. I get scared because I have trouble getting anywhere near my protein or fluids however I'm told that that is probably the reason I am feeling bad. Today I am aiming to sip water all day and try to get down some of the okios Greek protein yogurt. I guess we just have to keep trying different foods until we find a winner but I really hoped it wouldn't be this difficult for me (( I see so many people who say they feel awesome after and I feel so much worse.

I'm in my 4th week post-op, I'm already walking about 5 km per day, I'm eating all real foods and getting my 70 + g of protein in a day, without protein supplements. The foods I'm eating are eggs, beans, tuna, milk, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, chicken, beef, frozen spinach (heated), frozen berries (heated), mashed potatoes (white and sweet), squash of all kinds, peeled apples (can't wait to have an apple with the peel!), I seem to be able to eat just about anything. Before surgery, I got in really good shape. I did 60 minutes of cardio per day (walking around 7 - 10 km per day, stationary bike 16 km per day, and 30 minutes of strength training 6 days a week (alternating upper body and lower body). I lost 75 lbs before surgery. Since surgery, I've only lost 5 lbs, but my clothes are getting looser all the time. Anyway, other than not being able to eat more than 1/2 cup of food at a time, or having to sip my water rather than guzzling it, I don't feel any different than before surgery. I feel great!

Help!!!! Help me please!!!
Littleboo9 replied to Toriann94's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi I had surgery on Oct 9 and everyday feel nauseous. Two things have helped curve the nausea: hot tea and chicken broth. Water also helps. This week I started my blended diet and have tried plain yogurt and tofu. I loved protein shakes before surgery, but cannot stomach them at the moment. So while my diet is bland I feel less nausea over the course of the day. Best of luck. -

@Berry78 At this point I just laugh at how different our surgeon's plans are. LOL. It's almost as if they say, "I need to put my own spin on this thing, so I'm gonna do xyz and blah blah blah abracadabra! this week, then go to this in week 6..." Just seems so arbitrary! I just got my post-op plan on my last visit with the RD. Here's mine for grins and giggles: Week 2: Full Liquids (All clear liquids + protein drinks, tomato or V-8, sf fudgesicles, skim or lactaid milks, strained cream soups made with skim milk, plain yogurt (I'm guessing the non-Greek variety), sf pudding, cream of wheat thinned with skim milk or protein drink. Week 3: Soft Solids (All things from clear liquids and full liquids, soft scrambled eggs, low fat cottage cheese, plain Greek yogurt, flaked fish: tuna, salmon, white fish, canned chicken, starches (yeah right), fruit without membranes/skin or canned in natural juice, fats (limit to 6g/serving), limit sugar to no more than 4g/serving. No liquid calories. Ideally 3 meals + 1 snack. Try to get as much protein from food rather than supplements. Week 4: Start slowly introducing Regular Food, 1 new food at a time: 2 milk servings, 3 meat servings (1-2oz/s), 4 fruit/veggie servings (1/4-1/2c/s cooked), 2-3 fat servings (1tsp/s) (Sounds an awful lot like a WW plan...right?) -

Week 1: clear liquids, almost no protein except a little broth. Water, g2, herbal tea, apple juice, sugar free jello. Week 2: Milk, protein kefir, broth (and clears from week 1). Week 3: all of the above plus yogurt and cottage cheese. Week 4: purees.. all of the above plus blended tuna salad and refried beans Week 5: I don't remember as well, but still relied HEAVILY on cottage cheese and yogurt and beans and introduced eggs (sulfur, yum! Sounds like I'm joking but I'm not. I really liked that..I must have needed it). Weeks 6-8: I really started eating. Meats without blending, cashews, smoothies, eggs, cooked veggies, a little fruit. Chili, potato soup. Week 9 to present: cottage cheese, yogurt, milk, eggs, beans, nuts, meat, fish, fruit, veggies, potatoes (white and sweet). Coconut water and V8. Rarely cheese. Grains and sweets are reserved for special occasions. Everything I buy is single-ingredient. So fish is just fish, not breaded. (I occasionally splurge and get it pre-marinaded). I hate mayo now, but like chik fil a sauce. I put that into tuna salad. Salsa is great with beans and eggs and potatoes. My goal is 70g protein, and have been able to reach it most of the time since week 2. No protein shakes or bars. I used to count carbs, but stopped. I'm pretty much always under 100g. The most important things to measure are added oil/fat, and nuts/seeds. You could eat 2 whole potatoes for the calories in an extra handful of almonds. (I know that sounds like I load up on potatoes, but I don't. I eat 3.5oz about once or twice a week). -
I just got the okay to move onto puréed earlier this week. One scrambled egg with fat free mexican cheese felt like the best thing I’d ever eaten [emoji1373] I’ve also tried light laughing cow cheese, PB2, sabra hummus and fat free refried beans. It’s been a revelation from all the yogurt and sugar free pudding. I’ve also heard skim milk ricotta cheese is a good choice!

My NUT has us eating 5 mini-meals daily - every 3 - 4 hours. At 7 weeks out I ate: Breakfast - scrambled egg with salsa or my daily protein shake Meal 2 - 2 oz chicken or shrimp, salsa, hummus, guacamole or cocktail sauce to make the protein moist and easier to eat. Grapes without skin if there was room Meal 3 - yogurt or a mozzarella cheese stick Meal 4 - 2 oz protein (pork, chicken, crab, etc) with a sauce (Low sugar Tomato sauce, salsa, hummus,etc) Meal 5 - cheese or mozzarella cheese stick or parmesan cheese crisps or nuts
