Pureed or blenderized food ideas
GassyGurl replied to lauratro's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
How about pimento cheese? It's been a staple for me. I never actually pureed anything. I just had softish food like yogurt, canned chicken, pimento and ricotta cheese and chewed thoroughly. Sent from my XT1254 using BariatricPal mobile app -
Diabetic Binge Eater Here
James Marusek replied to drunkmuffin86's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You might try refocusing your snacks to healthy alternatives. You might consume whole food options: nuts, natural nut butters, fruits, veggies, boiled eggs, string cheese, yogurt with berries and almonds, tuna pouches. Avoid processed packaged foods as much as possible. Try A tub of Dannon Oikos Triple Zero yogurt with about a quarter cup of fresh blueberries. It is also important to avoid all forms of processed sugars and remove them from your diet. I was diabetic prior to my RNY gastric bypass surgery and took two types of prescription medicine to control the condition. But even with that medication my diabetes was not being properly controlled. Two days after surgery when I left the hospital I was off all my prescription medicine for this condition and haven't taken any since. I am over 4 years post-op and text by blood sugar about once per month and it is fine. That is how quickly this condition can be corrected by surgery - almost overnight. -
I am three weeks post op and having a hard time with recovering after getting pneumonia 2 days after surgery. I am so tired all the time I have been trying to make myself get up get dressed and do the grocery shopping house chores it's just so hard. I leave the house for two hours get home and sleep three hours. Not sure if it's the pneumonia that has me so tired or the surgery ? I drink my water I have protein shakes and today I started yogurt and puréed fruit. I'm just venting because I hate being so tired. I do have a follow up with the Dr Wednesday the 6th.

I ate it because I couldn't do one more bite of yogurt. I have it occasionally with some cheese. Your calories seem really low. I wouldn't worry about the pb

Is anyone else eating smooth peanut butter to get the hungry edge off? It's the only thing that cuts my hunger. But maybe it's too many calories. I'm eating 1-2tbs the most. Other than that I'm eating 2oz of cottage cheese, hummus, refried beans, sugar free pudding and jello, cream of wheat, homemade puréed veggie soup, and yogurt. My calories are about 200-350 a day. I'm day 11 post op. HW 289 SW 284 CW. 266

I've just started full liquids on day 4 but the suggestion is to just do shakes the first week and then the second week I can introduce other things: no-sugar yogurt, no-sugar pudding, high-protein soup, strained cream soup. I'd guess farina would be the mushy stage at the soonest . . .though it's not listed on my recommendations. The soonest grains are listed is for the maintenance phase!

2 weeks 3 days post op. I'm hungry, just can't eat much..... the things I manage to get down aren't the healthiest but I have to eat something. I'm still drinking protein shakes 1-2 per day. Today I had 2-1/2oz mashed potatoes thinned with beef broth, approx 2-3 oz yogurt, strained hot/sour soup, crystal light decaf ice tea and water. Tomorrow I'm going to try puréed hot/sour soup, seems to be my craving. I've only lost 10 lb since surgery but my clothes are falling off. My total weight loss to date is 43 lbs.

3 shakes a day, broth one cup day, low fat yogurt. Sugar free pops at 2 a day. banana or apple or orange and 8 grapes or 8 cherrys a day. No sugar jello or pudding one day. No light meal. Crystal light is ok. Start Sept 01, labor Day. I could have mor Pops if i can find 0 calories but i only found 15 cal hood pops no sugar. Anyone know of O Cal pops.

I have 8 lbs more to go to meet my required weight loss. I am NO expert. I try to steer away from red meat, and I don't eat ordinary cheese (cheddar cheese etc). I've been sticking with tuna, grilled chicken, turkey, cottage cheese, yogurt, egg whites, and lots of vetgetables. From what I understand, you should stay away from potatoes and breads and fats. Have you met with a dietician yet? I meet mine in about 10 days.

Conquering goals is hard to do!
Redoableme replied to Redoableme's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Thanks for the diet suggestion! I used to eat 2 eggs every morning but since transplant they don't agree with me and my new meds. It seems everything reacts differently with my body now, so I'm trying things as if they're brand new now. Fresh veggies are hit and miss, but I'm good when they're cooked. Right now my breakfast is just a 1/2 cup of bran cereal with almond milk. Lunch is something like a bean and cheese burrito or grilled cheese on oat wheat bread, and dinner is usually a few oz of protein and 1/2 cup of veggies. Snacks are things like yogurt, low carb chips and salsa, unsalted sunflower seeds, pistachios, and tons of water. I'm still trying new things so that will change I'm sure.

I'm a week out today! I haven't eaten solids in 9 days. I feel like the world is going on without me. My entire old life is null and void at this point. I'm off work for a month due to healing and my lovely new liquids only diet. All my friends work. My unemployed roommate/bf goes on the same as always, eating everything in sight, and acting like it's no big deal. I feel like I can't go out with friends because I don't fit in their social life anymore. I can't go out for a bite, because I can't eat. I can't go shopping because I'm shrinking --it's a good thing. I'm not ready to walk miles like I used to. I feel so alone. NO one here understands. I don't know what I thought was going to happen after surgery, but at this moment I feel like I'm trapped on my own island. LIke Tom Hanks in Castaway. Except no WIlson!! I know I'm probably being a whiner now, I apologize for anyone I offend. I know I did this to myself. I get reminded constantly by bf whenever I say anything. I guess I need to find some new hobbies, with new people.Nothing to do with food, or shopping. I don't know what to do. Has anyone else felt like this? Just got back from Walmart with him-for me-Dannon Oikos non-fat Greek Yogurt, plain. For him, pecan pie, frozen burrito, jug of juice,bottle of wine, piece of bbq pork roast. Last night we watched the Seahawks Game. Him-15 chicken wings, popcorn, beer, ice cream. For me 1/2 cup of homemade eggdrop soup, and 1/4 cup protein pudding. I think I just need to go away!!

Yesterday I had my first peanut powder smoothie with some yogurt and a banana. This morning I have had the worse stomach ache of my life, and it's accompanied by fainting spells and vomiting. The pain is so great that I come extremely close to completely passing out and falling onto the floor. Sorry about this next sentence: I have diarrhea, but I about kill over while I am sitting on the toilet. And, I'm throwing up while I'm sitting there, all at the same time! Has anyone experienced this from using the peanut powder, or have any idea what's going on with the fainting? I do not feel like it's the flu in any way. i hesitate in calling my doc because I don't want to cause any waves in my getting the surgery. Thank you so much for your replies.

Conquering goals is hard to do!
FluffyChix replied to Redoableme's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Yay for you!!! That's awesome! Well, for starters, you have to figure out from your docs what "protein adequate" means to them, with reference for you. My docs are happy with my 60-70g of protein/day. And that's not "that much!" Next, completely get rid of all high glycemic crap. No matter HOW good it tastes or how much your body is tellin' you you need it. Cuz it is a lieing liar that lies! Next go back to WLS basics. No drinking before meals, or 30mins-1hr post meals. Eat protein first...and SLOWLY. Eat veggies second. And that's it. Cut out the fruit except every few days you could have 1oz of blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, or strawberries with some protein and fat (like walnuts or almonds and a string cheese). Eat only 3 meals per day. Eat as low fat as possible: use extra virgin olive oil spray, molly mcbutter, lean lean proteins, Real Egg Whites or eggbeaters, 2% cheese, low fat cottage cheese and low fat greek yogurts--but READ to make sure not high carb or high sugar. Here I get 2% Daisy Cottage Cheese and get HEB plain 0Fat Greek Yogurt that only has like 4g of carbs per serving. Think a serving is 1cup for each? Keep your calories around 700-800. I used lots of hot sauce bottles with stuff! My meals were like: B: 2-3 egg whites scrambled with 1 1/2 oz baby greens + mushrooms + 1 slice Hillshire Farms Ham or Turkey (3 slices = 50 cals), hot sauce L: 3oz lean protein, 1/2-1 cup of cooked veggies, or 2cups of mixed salad, plus 1oz avocado, Walden Farm dressing D: same as lunch S: 6 almonds or 1 serving sugar free jello The first 3-4 days are relatively painful. Drink lots of water! After that, you will lose your appetite and start feeling fuller--especially if you take small bites and eat dense protein first. This may all be different for you cuz of quantities. I am non-WLS and this is pretty much how I did it for the cancer treatment and any time I'm on steroids. IF I want to eat between meals, then I will ONLY eat a hardboiled egg with Walden Farms zero cal Chipotle Mayo. If that doesn't sound good, then I won't eat between meals. I am eating this way right now, and am now eating 1000cals a day pre-surg. I eat a LOT more veggies than are listed above, but I'm not on steroids (although I just recently had a shot to the hip of cortisone--I didn't have any weight gain or terrible hunger from that shot). But otherwise, I pretty much stick to this. I also eat a little more avocado now too (for added fat cals). -
How do I stop eating so fast?
hmills653 replied to Sleeved3.29.17's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
the only issue I've had with eating to fast when its already portioned is hiccups. which I'd probably get without surgery anyway. Sometimes at work I don't have time to eat so I will slam a greek yogurt. -
8 yrs post op but seriously need a buddy/support!!
James Marusek replied to Kmartinez15's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
There are two phases to weight loss surgery - the Weight Loss Phase and the Maintenance phase. This is the approach I used in the Maintenance phase. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery2.pdf It is common to have some limited weight gain after gastric bypass surgery. They call it a 20 pound bounce. The important thing is not let go beyond it. According to my nutritionist, meals should consist of equal parts of protein, fats and carbs after the first couple years post-op. Snacks should be limited to primarily whole food options: nuts, natural nut butters, fruits, veggies, boiled eggs, string cheese, yogurt with berries and almonds, tuna pouches. Avoid processed packaged foods as much as possible. Also do not expect to lose weight at a rate similar to right after surgery. There is no quick fix. Generally if you gained the additional weight over a couple years, then it may take a couple years of watching what you eat to get back down. -
August Sleevers-How are you doing??
hboston replied to Ash_Bri85's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had my sleeve on 8/9 and doing ok. I'm so sick of the puree. I eat the same thing every day, liquid eggs, protein drink cottage cheese, greek yogurt. Sometimes I have V8, ricotta cheese or baby food sweet potatoes. I know I can tolerate these foods & next Tuesday I'm going to the Dr. and should be switching to real food. For meds they had me taking pills no need to crush them. I was afraid at first but the nurse said it was ok so I went for it. Haven't had a problem with taking regular meds that was but I have chewable for my vitamins. Did anyone else gain weight after surgery? I lost 10 lbs prior to surgery but gained 8lbs right after surgery. I'm doing fine now that was a bit of a shock for me. -

Worried at 3 weeks - easily eating...
Kat410 replied to Daniel!'s topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am in my 14th week and never had issue with liquids or soups. I could eat a whole container of yogurt as soon as I was on that stage. I could drink a whole mug of soup (I wasn't necessarily interested in it, but physically could do it). I also drank 8 oz of protein shakes as soon as I started on them. I experience the sense of restriction primarily on dense proteins and to some degree veg although the sensation of fullness is really different on veg. When I am full on an animal protein it is an immediate and sudden sense of discomfort. With veggies and denser carbs (beans, whole grains) it is a more gradual sense of being sated and I can eat more ounces. My sense is this is pretty common and I would not be too concerned. -

How do I get enough protein
jaminator replied to Arthur Dent's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Agree with above, i am three months out and every morning i have a smoothie made from 2 scoops chocolate VEGA 1 protein powder (24 grams) and 6 oz skim milk with extra protein (10 grams) and 6 ounces chameleon cold brew coffee. Throw into a cup of crushed ice and blend in ninja. that makes sure i get a good protein boost in an easy way in the morning. In the puree stage put that unjury unflavored powder on everything you can. beyond puree stage order some pure protein bars (15 grams) or kind (there are some that are 12 grams) barsand have those between meals. get some of those oikos triple zeros yogurts and eat those. Go to smoothie king and get one of the high protein smoothies and tell them to sub the turbinado for non cal sweetener. There are lots of little things you can do to get the protein in over the course of the day. -
Anyone else have no nausea ever and can drink a lot one week post-surgery?
tiff_nj replied to tiff_nj's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Today I move on to yogurt and pureed soups and ricotta cheese and I'm PSYCHED. For the ricotta cheese - try this - it's delicious. Take about 1/2 c of it, add a little almond extract and a splenda and mix it up. It tastes like a delicious dessert! Plus, you'll have multiple servings, so that's good. Good luck everyone! Glad I'm not the only one with no nausea. -
I just might give up caffeine for good
Finding Erika replied to hmills653's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Dreamingsmall- the other thing I meant to say - sorry- this is getting long- is that you really need to eat breakfast and lunch- if you're skipping meals then that's probably why you're stalled. Your body will hold on to weight if it feels like it isn't going to be fed- even if it's just a yogurt or glass of milk - get your metabolism going in the morning by have something when you first get up. Your metabolism won't start up it's engine until it's challenged by food (or a liquid supplement like milk or a protein shake)- otherwise you're telling your body to only metabolize for half the day- and you want it to burn all day- it's your "fat furnace" for lack of a better term Anyway- I hope that helps- it will make a big difference if you have something every 3-4 hours - and that means protein- Keep it up! Just eat more [emoji4] -
started two days ago. Mine is two weeks... 3 carnation instant breakfast (essentials) - 1 yogurt - 2 pieces of fruit -1 cup of broth - Jelllo & sugar free popsicles. NO COFFEE - not even decaf ... My doctor told me on Tuesday that he doesn't want me to be hungry - so if I need to supplement with a scrambled egg or an occasional oatmeal or an extra yogurt that is fine with him. I have been dreading this... but on the second day it really isn't that bad... I am putting protein powder into my shakes and honestly I am not hungry - I like the cucumber idea because chewing and crunching on something is the only thing that is making me mildly crazy... I also heard ice chips... so far so good..
