I will be 4 weeks postop tomorrow, I'm hungry too! I went to Walmart Grocery store today and finding protein rich foods without it becoming monotonous is a real task. I found some egg bites premade with cheese and Turkey sausage, I don't eat pork, but they had bacon as well. I found a large container of Oikos Yogurt which is 12 grams of protein per serving, egg whites, cream of wheat, oatmeal, Sargento cheese snacks, milk for protein drink mixes and few other items for my family. I miss having ftuit, vegetables, salads, fish because my body is rejecting my favorite protein. I'm also feeling tired of sweet liquids, not being able to drink plain old fashioned water without an enhancement to tolerate it, I want cold cereal, I want cashews and pistachios for a healthy protein boost. I miss some of my favorite healthy staples that would satiate my hunger, but Ariel aka my stomach is still healing and I have to respect it. I'm hungry too.

The Inevitable "I'm Not Losing Fast Enough" Thread
goodlife replied to ouroborous's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That's why when the scale didn't move for two days in a row last week I picked it up and refuse to get on it! Ouro..that smoothie you're making sure does seem to have a bunch of calories in it! I'm using the Gladiator powder...180 calories for 2 scoops, 45g of Protein, I use about 1/4 cup of Water in it, about a cup of ice cubes, and one medium banana thrown in. 2 of those a day and I'm at 90 g of protein! My biggest thing is that it seems like I can really take in a lot. I was able to eat a whole container of Dannon greek yogurt with strawberry in it today. I can eat about a whole cup of thin creamed soup at a sitting...maybe 15 minutes or so. I know these are "slider" foods and pass through my sleeve pretty quickly but it's still worrisome. -
Have to start using protein powder a couple times a day by drinking or adding to yogurt. Does anyone have any favorites? That can be purchased at a store not on line.

I start every day with Protein hot cocoa, but you do have to watch the temp and warm it up slowly. I warm a cup of unsweetened almond milk in the microwave, add a scoop of chocolate Protein Powder and 2T unsweetened cocoa and a dash of salt (cuts the artificial sweetener flavor), and mix very well with a whisk. Sometimes I thin it a bit with some hot Water, or microwave it a few seconds longer to warm it up, but it will thicken a lot if you get it too hot - the protein "firms" up (like cooking an egg). You can actually use this tendency to cook to your advantage - there are a lot of recipes "out there" for protein "cake" or "muffins" or even "cookies" made with protein powder and often eggs, other liquids, sweetener, etc. cooked in a minute or two in the microwave. Some flavors of protein powder are really good added to plain greek yogurt - I like the nectar twisted cherry this way. Or, blend with almond milk and ice cubes to make a kind of soft serve ice cream. I've always been told the best protein is whey protein isolate - it's best digested by your body so you get the most benefit from it, but it's also the most expensive, so for cheaper brands you'll often find a blend of whey protein isolate and whey protein concentrate.

I drink a shake every morning so I start the day with 20 gm of Protein, usually add fruit to the vanilla shakes 3 times a week. lunch is an average of 15-20 gms from meat with veggies. I have an afternoon snack of cheese or cottage cheese/yogurt mix (about 10 gm of protein) dinner I try to get another shake in unless I am with friends, then I try to get 15-20 gm from meat then veggies. So I average 60-70 gm of protein daily

I was always a breakfast skipper pre-op, and when I did eat breakfast it was rarely traditional breakfast foods. I usually have a Syntrax Cappuccino iced for breakfast now... but when I have solid food it is still odd stuff. I tend to reverse my lunch and breakfast that I take to work. I will eat the chicken fajitas around 8:00 and then grab the yogurt for lunch. I have eaten Tilapia, the inside of a shrimp taco, Zuchinni lasagna, etc... for breakfast. I think I eat what I had planned to be lunch because I am hungry at breakfast time now. (which undoubtedly has to do with not having the 2-3 cups of coffee I used to need for a morning boost!)

My surgery was a success and recovery is somewhat slow then I expected. I have some pain but not a lot matter fact the only time I feel real pain is when I cough or sneeze. I having a hard time in getting water in. But I am able to eat yogurt, jello and protein shake. I will just be glad when I can get these staples removed. I also realize some of my clothes are getting big. I almost forgot is anyone having some tenderness in their legs I just noticed it today? Call my insurance 24 hr nurse line and she said that I can just keep on taking the blood thinner and everything should be ok. I will probably call my doctor's office tomorrow to be on the safe side. I will be glad when my life gets back to some type of normalize.

Brunch of last night's coconut chicken with cilantro and even more lime squirted on for good measure.......yum. Usually I skip breakfast and get hungry mid-day. My husband is consistently hungry at 11:00 and has what Tolkein referred to as "Elevenses." By this time he's already had a big serving of full fat yogurt with a dollop of cherry preserves. After breakfast and elevenses he is looking for lunch. Then tea. Then dinner. Geesh, no wonder I was fat! Not him, though. Genetics, sigh.

Post-op Appointment Success!
crocodoxie replied to SippinAintEasy's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Oh, I remember when I got to have some greek yogurt, and was like YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS... yeah on your cottage cheese. Congrats on a great post-op visit. -
I'm slowly getting over this saltine cracker craving. lol Now I'm craving yogurt. I'm hoping the doctor will call me before my 1 week check up on Wednesday and clear me to move onto my full liquids. These clear liquids are just going straight through and I'm not getting satisfied.

Help I need ideas PLEASE!
GwSoccermom replied to GwSoccermom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you for your replies. I am eating the right size portions, but also hungry between meals. And I do not have any ideas for weekly menu/meal planning. I can never figure out how to plan and we only shop once per week. I need some ideas for all meals during the week. I also snack once in the afternoon (fruit or yogurt) and I cant lose my after dinner sweet tooth and always want something for an evening desert. -
What was your pre op diet?

Mine is the same minus applesauce & yogurt pudding Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App -
The dr said "soft liquids" drinkable yogurt.. Strained Soup and so on at 10 days. Soft foods not until 21 days. Sigh... Thanks guys. I read everyone's happy posts and they REALLY help. I'm just smelling dinner fighting back tears. So ridiculous to cry over food, I know.

What are your favorites during the soft food stage?
Jack replied to Deedee13's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I grew rather fond of a couple oz. yogurt with just a bit of peanut butter stirred in, as a little protein upgrade, as I was not getting my protein load at the time. -
I'm confused why I can have jello but not yogurt on the first few wks post surgery. Does anyone know why ? Thanks ! Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

Understanding the before and after
bromo replied to medicgipson's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, definitely a mindset change. I went from eating a box of little Debbie's for a snack to a low carb yogurt or a babybel cheese and am much more satisfied with the healthier choice. And it is not even hard to choose. Going through all it took to decide on the band, get through the process and then actually doing it gave me the mindset that this is the time I am going to succeed and with the band on my stomach, I am succeeding. It is a great feeling to watch the scales go down and know that I have the ability this time to keep it off! And I actually feel so much better eating healthy that I don't think I could ever go back to feeling like I did when I was eating lots of junk and fast food. You just feel so bad physically afterwards and now after eating I am sated and still feel good. It is a win win situation for me. -
Just a thought ... (I have not had triscuits so this may not work)... Is there some sort of low cal dip (flavored Greek yogurt) that you could put on it to help it go down? Take at least 4 separate bites of the cracker, chew well, swallow and count to 10 or 15 or whatever and then take the second bite of the cracker? Essentially eat it slower with some liquid/dip.

April 9th is my date and big time nervous
Sleeve4me! replied to nancy264's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm with you. I can't wait for eggs! I'm hoping I'll get the thumbs up for puréed/mashed by Wednesday. I am struggling to eat anything. I drink about 40 oz of Water today and get down whatever else I can. Protein drinks make me nauseous. I am so sick of sweet tasting foods! I eat Greek yogurt, pudding, Jello, Popsicles, broth, etc. and everything is sugar free. I hate artificial sweeteners, but if I must eat them for now, then I must. To make a long story short, I'm not eating much. I'm not hungry either. All of the foods I can eat are off-putting. I know I need to eat, so I continue to try to get something in me. Going to heat up some soup now. By the way, I can only eat about 1/3 cup soup and it takes a bit. Yeah eggs sound so good and refried Beans too! I'm like you and tired of all the sweets. I can eat a whole 8oz of soup before being full. I also still get hungry which I thought would go away. I know I'm only 9 days out but I am worried I am going to fail at this too. -
I agree with what everyone said but also I'm on Mushies week 3 and love tofu and Greek yogurt...maybe this will work for u as a protein source?

Actually, yes as Anita mentioned, I often have issues with milk and yogurt earlier in the day. So, you may want to find another protein drink to try.
