I found a way to get my protein in! Yay!
Candygyrl replied to gustavio's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was on a roll. I mean really on a roll right around 8 weeks post op I was becoming more consistent with hitting my Protein goals and I was improving my Water intake. I wasn't up to 64 oz most days of the week but I was progressing slowly and was ok with that. I feel like in the last 2 weeks, I've taken 2 steps backward. I'm hardly ever hitting my protein goals, and somedays I wonder if I even drank anything that day. I drink enough not to have symptoms of dehydration plus I do drink smoothies (which I make with water) and eat fruit and veggies like strawberries and cucumbers during Snacks so I'm getting it in. I am still losing-- haven't hit any stalls just yet. I have some weeks where weight loss is slower but it's still a loss. Then it picks up again. Anyways the shakes make me gag too and I really liked them. Greek yogurt is challenging but I still work at it. I find that I just have to take it slow even if it takes an hour to get it down. I want to eat Protein Bars but I feel guilty about eating those so I'm open to all WLS hacks. This one seems promising. -
How do you get all of your protein in?
lak200 replied to gotmyeyeontheprize's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i have actually found a Protein powder i like! it is chocolate-Peanut Butter made by Body Fortress. This is the breakdown: 2 scoops mixed w/about 12 oz of Water - adjust to suit taste: Calories: 270 Calories from Fat: 40 Total Fat: 4g Saturated Fat: 2g Cholesterol: 90mg Total Carbohydrates: 7g Dietary Fiber: 1g Sugars: 3g Calcium: 243mg Iron: 1.3mg Phosphorus: 175mg Magnesium: 59mg Copper: 0.07mg Sodium: 130mg Potassium: 470mg PROTEIN: 52g !!!! compare to Boost, Calorie Smart 1 bottle, 8 fl oz: Calories: 190 Calories from Fat: 60 Total Fat: 7g Saturated Fat: 1g Cholesterol: 10mg Total Carbohydrates: 16g Dietary Fiber: 3g Sugars: 4g Calcium: not listed Iron: not listed Phosphorus: not listed Magnesium: not listed Copper: not listed Sodium: 180mg Potassium: 150mg PROTEIN: 16g !!!! now - i do like boost chocolate - but if i can get double the protein in a 12 oz that i mix myself compared to an 8 oz - i'm gonna go for the 12oz drink - they also list the breakdown for 1 scoop on the container. i mixed a little powder in my greek yogurt, which is also high in protein, and it was quite tasty. the container costs approx $16 at wally world. i was drinking the tropical punch 'shots' from the same company and it would take me two shots to equal two scoops of powder and the taste wasn't a favorite of mine. hope this helps. please note there is a notice at the bottom: use this product as a food supplement only. do not use for weight reduction. i'm feeling ok with drinking this as i only have one or two drinks per day. lori -
How do you get all of your protein in?
mimi222 replied to gotmyeyeontheprize's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am having the same problem. Tomorrow will be a week since surgery and it has been a challenge getting all the protein in. I went to GNC on yesterday and bought some protein packs. I have been trying to mix them in anything I can because I am SICK of the protein drinks, they are starting to make me gag. I mixed some into the yogurt i had for breakfast it wasn't too bad. I will also try to mix some into my ice cream. At this point protein is my primary focus. -
How Soon After Surgery Did You Add Things Like Liquid Grits, And Watery Soft Foods?
2savemylife posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
hi there, at what point did you add watered down/ lose things like grits, or mashed potatoes. pudding , regular yogurt etc? did you do it when you started to get hungry again a couple weeks after surgery or later? what were the first foods you added? any other food Ideas? -
This was the first time I have had bread since getting banded that's why I was scared. My diet usually consists of a Protein shake for breakfast (sometimes a yogurt too) then yogurt and fruit for lunch with a sugar free pudding and for dinners I have been doing different veggie combinations with some chicken or something a little filling. I have had Pasta a couple times and did okay. But like I said it was the first time I have had bread and I felt like I over did it. I felt very full lady night. Today I feel nauseaus and do have some chest pain but I drank my Protein Shake earlier and did have any issues. I just don't want to add to the issue by earring more. Also I very rarely vomit when I am sick usually just the big D but none of that either so idk if its viral. Thanks for all the advice.

I agree with Ivy... try it! GNC's 30 day policy is great! I have not found one that does not have an aftertaste, but the GNC brand one I mix in my yogurt with sugar free syrup, cinnamon and nutmeg and I can't taste it. I have added it to milk and Water, and you can definitely taste it. I have not tried it myself, but beneprotein was recommended to me. I want to try it I just haven't had a chance to yet. Apparently it is tasteless and odorless. The amount of Protein is lower however.

SweetC replied to WLJourneyJ's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Snacks I like are some of those mentioned and I like Nature Valley Protein Chewy Bar (Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate), Pure Protein High Protein Bar, Breakstone Doubles(Cottage Cheese and Fruit), Yoplait Yogurt Parfait and I love McDonalds SF NF latte. A small is only 90 cals. Oh, a slice of Boars Head Black Forest Ham wrapped around a slice of provolone cheese...Yum Yum Yum!!! Pot Likkers are tasty too. -
High Protein "snack" Ideas.... Lets Start A List To Refer To When We Need Ideas
Escape_Pod replied to WLJourneyJ's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I like the Quest protein bars - great nutritional stats, and tastier than a lot of what's on the market. Light baby-bel cheese A protein "frappuccino" - almond milk, crushed ice, and protein powder blended in my bullet to the consistency of soft-serve. Current favorites are Click mocha protein, or peanut butter cookie. Cottage cheese mixed with tuna Plain greek yogurt with a fruity protein powder mixed in - banana, or Nectar twisted cherry. -

Because I'm happy, clap along if you feel like a room w/o a roof.
Jenelle replied to Jenelle's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for the update Jenelle good to know what u can tolerate and what makes u feel really full how are you going with getting in all your fluids? I have no problems with fluids, I still can't get my 64oz but I think I'm getting around 40 maybe a little more, which my DR. said is ok for the first month and to work my way up. Fluids, yogurt, cottage cheese and pudding don't make me feel as full. Scrambled eggs, peanut butter does. I have not venture with mashed potatoes or other stuff yet. -

so we paisana lol Mi tia did a sancocho for me the other day and it was the bomb and imma try the Peanut Butter. Have you tried regular eggs? and yes girl , preimer Protein is so good it taste like a milk shake I know all about Mangu. Im from Puerto Rico and it is one of my favorite dishes. Try reduced fat peanut butter and see if your stomach likes it. I had a problem with it feeling too heavy at the beginning but now I can have small amounts. I love egg beaters. and premier Proteins are my main source for protein. Do a "sancocho" and the broth of that gotta be super good. lol ohhhhhhhh but you know about mangu excuse me lol yes i know they have alot of carbs but i only ate like 4 baby spoon and i was full , like i felt like i went to the buffet girl . so i know this surgery is working because before i would eat a whole plate . as far as protein and Water i try everyday to get the 90 gr i need but its hard i am so sick of shakes its not even funny . you have any ideas of other ways i can get my protein n ? i know yogurt is one of them , i try laughing cow cheese that give me like 12 . also where are you located ? and when we gonna be able to see you girl post a pic lol So you had some mangu? I love Mangu. Be careful though platanos have a lot of carbs. Don't worry about stalls its only temporary and don't weight yourself everyday. Try to get more protein in and water this will help. Hey Hun ! I Am doing great ! Still having issue with getting my fluids and protein in but everyday it's get easier , today I mashed some plantain up to like mash potato form it was awsome !!! Lol plantain is a staple in my country lol we can't eat it with anything , I just hope I don't have any stomach issues later on tonight ? How much have you lost so far ? You still at a stall I feel like I am ! I been at 230 for like 5 days ughhhh -
I wonder this same thing. I'm 9 mths out, 10 lbs from goal and can eat more (more often, not more volume tho) so I wonder if I'm stretching my stomach. My dr told me that since they take out the stretchy "fundus" of the stomach, u hafta work really hard to stretch it out. Then I've read other peoples drs say the opposite, that it's not that hard. I also listen to my body, never measuring or weighing anything. I get full very fast (usually less than 10 small bites) = 1 egg, 1 pc of bacon or 5 bites of chicken, 1/3 of an aritchoke, 2 Tb of rice. But I've been getting hungry withint a couple hrs. usually 1/2 carton or yogurt or 12 almonds helps but I don't think I should be eating every 2 hrs. If I don't eat something at 9pm, I'm awake at 2 am scrounging thru the frig for something to eat. So I usually have 1/2 PB and banana sandwich at bedtime. I'd like to see some answers to this also. I know what most people will say:measure out ur food and only eat that amt. I guess that would ensure stretching. So does ur stomach stretch naturally over time, do u stretch it out by eating too much or is it really hard to stretch it (as my dr told me)???

Anyone from the Chicagoland area
ShipShape replied to jayohayenene's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
That is what I've heard. My buddy did bypass there in Feb. And he said the same thing about nurses. Yes, I do add frozen pineapple, banana, cooked beet's, yogurt, not for the taste, but to feel full. Honestly I cheated all two weeks, I had some grilled chicken breast, few slices of corn beef. Nothing serious, but men, it is hard. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App -
Intense pain 2 weeks post op
Kindle replied to Ruth1ess's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree. I didn't start eating eggs until 3 weeks out, but it was at least 2-3 months before I could eat a whole one. 6 months before I could finish a whole container of Greek yogurt or a whole Quest bar. Boy, I sure miss that kind of restriction -
December 2019 Sleevers, how are you doing? What’s your stats?
Freedom&Bliss replied to smb123's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I just had my one month w/my surgeon, and dietician. I am cleared to go to the gym and eat solids but I feel I’m not there yet, food-wise, just by listening to my body. I’m stilll doing protein shakes, yogurts and some Bariatric broths to be sure I get all my protein. I can still only eat a small amount in a sitting!! Bit feeling good 💪🏼💪🏼 -
no more dairy...ugh! Breakfast?
summerseeker replied to pintsizedmallrat's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
There are nut and coconut yogurts especially for vegans. I like coconut milk best of all the alternate milks. -
no more dairy...ugh! Breakfast?
learn2cook replied to pintsizedmallrat's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Gage makes a lactose free yogurt I can tolerate. All Cabot Hill Fam cheeses from Vermont are also lactose free. Cabot hill makes a 50% lite cheddar that tastes good. Watch out for deli meats because they are all made with a milk binder except Boar’s Head meats. Be careful with any “worsted “ meats too. I just had shakes and Fage yogurt during the mushy phase because everything mushy has lactose. Ground meat phase will come soon and get better, sorry. -
What was the first food you ate when allowed soft foods?
FatPharm replied to FatPharm's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I want refried beans badly. I'm allowed to start my soft foods today. Will have Greek yogurt for breakfast. Not really wanting that for all 3 "meals," I don't think. -
What was the first food you ate when allowed soft foods?
FatPharm posted a topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I was advised by the nutritionist to start with Greek yogurt. My program doesn't do purees at all. Just clear liquid/protein shakes straight to stage 2 soft food with 3 "meals" a day. What was you first soft food and how did you do with it? Did it go down well? -
Post Adjustment Tightness
Kari D replied to Kari D's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for the feedback ya'll! I just got off the phone with the doc. He did not seemed concerned at all. He said what I was experiencing was normal sensation and actually the restriction I'm feeling is what they're looking for. He said if I'm not happy with the feeling they can always take some out. The challenge is that being new to this, I am not yet keen to the different post fill sensations. So far, I've had a Protein shake and a yogurt and I'm not feeling hungry at all. Who am I!? -
Fat free refried beans with some cheese melted on top, hummus (with some unflavored protein powder mixed in), pimiento cheese (with unflavored protein powder mixed in), Greek yogurt (with vanilla protein powder mixed in), sugar free chocolate pudding snack (with chocolate protein powder mixed in). I also had some soups and tried to mix in protein powder or pureed chicken and that was a total fail. (Ugh. Still makes me shudder to think about it. ). I didn't do so well with the eggs. They got cold too quick. I finally solved that with a coffee cup / candle warmer and put my dish on it. That helped. Good luck!

What's your Most Fave/Least Fave...
InfiniteButterfly replied to MistyAnnMoon829's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I look froward to small foods filling me up! It's probably good that your stomach no longer tolerates those things. I kind of hope the same thing happens to me so I can kick the habit. I wouldn't mind at all if it were unhealthy foods my body doesn't tolerate. I'm mostly lactose intolerant (I can eat some cheese without issue, but milk and Greek yogurt set me off badly), can't eat most meats (although I'm learning to like fish...I haven't cooked it a lot in the past). I definitely appreciate that most foods are on my no-eat list though. It definitely makes it easier to avoid sweets and whatnot when you have zero taste for them any more. -
Cake after being sleeved
tracywag replied to LMSWNYC's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I know my family will be having cake, I make myself a mug cake. 1 scoop Protein powder (I've used banana, chocolate and blueberry), 1 scoop Carbquik (can also use a nut flour plus baking soda), an egg, a scoop of cottage cheese, ricotta, or greek yogurt, and add milk until it looks like batter. Microwave in a bowl or larg mug for 1-1.5 minutes. When I say scoop, it's the same scoop as the Protein Powder so all equal parts.
