Mornings I sometimes just have coffee with vanilla protein powder, or 1-2 eggs, or Greek yogurt with protein powder. For lunch I try to take left overs from last nights dinner which is mostly chicken or fish and veggies. I may have thinly sliced turkey and cheese, rolled together. Snacks may be yogurt, cheese, sugar free Popsicles. I admit I am pretty boring and not creative.

For me soft foods and mushy were the same thing so I am not sure what you should eat. Mushies I ate tuna, flaked fish, beans, refried beans, scrambled eggs whisked with skim milk, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, ricotta with spaghetti sauce. Best of luck.

Yet another question on restriction (sorry, guys!)
Cocoabean replied to juliansmom2003's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Juliansmom, For me it was one of those I knew it when I had it moments. Sort of like my first slime episode was a "what the heck is all this goo? OOOOHHHHH" moments. I didn't get restriction until fill #2. For me it is: Feeling satisfied on a small portion, but not getting stuck, provided I have chewed well. A meal will last me 3-4 hours. I don't obsess over my next meal. food doesn't rule all my thoughts. Yes, I still have head hunger, but with physical hunger under control, I can better fight it. When I was overfilled, every meal was torture. Even yogurt was painful. I got stuck on string cheese and mashed potatoes. As a side note, one of the first foods I got stuck on was a banana. I didn't eat one agin for a year. Then I was fine with them. After my last fill, they bother me again. -
Water w/Crystal Light & Going to School/Work
Melinco replied to TN_girl21's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, if you mix Crystal Light (or even some fresh fruit juice - like lemon or lime or even a bit of orange) into your Water, it is still counted towards your water consumption. As far as good meals on the go, I like the light cheese sticks, yogurt, perhaps a few ham cubes or turkey cubes. I'm not much into smoothies or Protein drinks, so I try to eat my protein. Even some banana slices or other fresh fruit. But I think anything that you can cut up into small pieces, and pop in your mouth. Just make sure you chew well so you don't accidentally swallow too large of a piece of food and get stuck. It's easy to do if you get distracted, which may happen if a customer pops in unexpectedly. Good luck! -
Frustrated And Disgusted...
Yasmine replied to Soli3l's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on Nov 12th... and am not hungry but I know that my body needs fuel... and I want to meet my minimum goal of 25grams of Protein. This is a sample of what I eat per day: B: 1/2 Greek Yogurt L: 1 tsp of Peanut Butter D: 1 Scrambled Egg Snack: 1 Low Fat cheese Stick At first I thought... if I'm not hungry or once I eat... if I'm full it's a good thing... cuz I don't want to learn to overeat with my new tummy. But my Dr told me that that's the worst thing that I could do to my body and that the first thing to go will be my hair So sometimes its a chore... but I slowly get it down! Good Luck!!! -
Oh wow your four weeks out? Are you on the mushy food phase? I have been on the liquid diet for two weeks before surgery and I have been so emotionally hungry! Thanks for the kind words Yes, I'm on limited soft foods: cottage cheese, refried Beans, mushed veggies, oatmeal/cream of wheat, greek yogurt. I get to go to the next phase in 10 days. I was on a 2 week pre-packaged food diet pre-op. Don't worry, your hunger will disappear after surgery; at least, MINE did. Now I eat because I HAVE to...or because I WANT to.

I was sleeved on June 20th and I 'think' I am hungry all the time! I don't really know what full feels like? Does chest discomfort mean your sleeve is full??? I get those feelings but my stomach is always growling. I am getting a minimum of 60 grams of protein and 50 ounces of water a day. I am still on liquids so I also eat jello, broth, and popsicles. I have even tried pudding and yogurt! I just feel confused because everyone told me they didn't even want to eat the first week!
-
I'm only a week post op but I'm going crazy. I haven't eaten regular foods in like 3 weeks, I'm so bored. I'm on the liquids now so I can have soup, yogurt, pudding, applesauce, cottage cheese. I was lactose intolerant before surgery so all this dairy isn't going over well. Any suggestions?
-
It could be lactose intolerance (more likely than "dumping" since that happens very infrequently in VSG vs GBP) as others have said. However, I have had lactose intolerance most of my adult life, and usually I am ok with cheese and yogurt (but not milk or dairy-based ice cream). There's a chance the timing was coincidental and may not be related to the cheese. You can experiment while at home.

Tired Of Choc Protien Shakes
canadianprairiegal replied to neeve's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
have u tried putting strawberries in the chocolate, or any type of fruit in the vanilla, even a tbsp of peanut butter. i sometime put a small container of yogurt in it too -
Plan your fluids first so you don't get dehydrated. At least 48 ounces of water daily. You won't be able to have but a spoonful or two of puréed food, but think things like applesauce, puréed soups (tomato, split pea, chicken noodle), pretty much anything you can put in a blender will work. You can do fruit smoothies with Greek yogurt. Be creative. I've heard a lot of people recommend low fat refried beans. Good luck!

low calorie intake...bad?
thinoneday replied to Megan_SF's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi I'm with Midwest Girl I used to love to gulp water all day long! I'd get over 100 oz down a day, then i got sleeved and guess what? Can't even get down the blinkin' 64 oz now. . . like Midwest, I add sf crystal light or SF welshes blended berry mix to the water. . . it's much better now and as long as i sip small amounts i do really well. . . i'm now at almost 60 oz at it's taken me about 3 1/2 weeks. . . keep trying it'll get better, I promise. . .I'm definately NOT allowed oatmeal or potatoes at all during the first 6 months . . doctor told me it would slow down the weight loss because of the amount of carbs. . . maybe don't eat those and substitute with something else. . I'm still on high protein foods, fatfree cottage cheese, fatfree ricotta cheese, fatfree string cheese, fatfree refried Beans, sf puddings, fatfree yogurt, fatfree mootopia milk, Protein shakes, very mushy tunafish and so on. . Next week i get to try extra lean ground hamburger meat and extra lean ground turkey, we'll see about that! Good luck, I hope it all settles down and you can carry on with your journey. . . -
Help! Calories and carbs!
VSGAnn2014 replied to jademb1023's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Post-op, you won't be able to eat fruits for some time. Or whole grains. Your carbs will be easier to control. The colored, green, red, yellow veggies are what you should introduce first. Some dairy products, even skim milk and yogurt, will be the greatest early source of your carbs. FYI, I wasn't big on the low-low-low carbs approach. Never was my thing ever. Also FYI (you should do your own thing, but you might like to know what others have done), my calories / Protein grams looked like this: Month 1 - 500 cals, 60 grams protein Months 2 - 4 - 800 cals, 80 grams protein Months 5-6 - 1,000 cals, 90 grams protein Months 7-8 - 1,200 cals, 100 grams protein Early maintenance - 1,500 cals, 100 grams protein Maintenance today - 1,700 - 1,800 cals, 80-90 grams protein My surgical physician's assistant (who stays up on the latest, greatest WLS research) encouraged me strongly to raise my 5-6 month cals to 1,000 and my 7-8 month cals to 1,200. She said if I continued to eat only 800 cals, it would stunt my future maintenance metabolic rate. I gotta say I am so happy I can eat 1,700 - 1,800 cals and maintain (now at 135 pounds). And I'm not a gym rat or a runner either. I do walk and move a lot more, do yoga, etc. -
Hi everyone! I'm three weeks out and have been really enjoying watermelon! Since I'm still on mushies, I make a protein shake each morning with protein powder, nf plain Greek yogurt, frozen fruit (berries, bananas, peaches, whatever) and fresh spinach or kale and sometimes carrots. It's delicious! I can never finish the whole serving so I save the rest for my afternoon 'boost'.

Does anyone know when we will be able to have yogurt with fruit pieces?

I mean the small pieces that are in yogurt. Everything says yogurt is fine but not with fruit pieces.

Old habits are trying to come back!!!!
NJMOMof2 replied to Deedle Dee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That was happening to me and I increased my fluid intake. I also changed my food times around. I have my coffee in the am and wait until I get to work to have my cereal. I then started having a yogurt for lunch. Since I changed my food times, I found I am not getting hungry, ( and yes..I had real hunger too). Be sure to get your 2 cups of milk in a day, it helps with hunger too. -
Loosing the pre op weight.
FailureIsntAnOption replied to heyred1's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My liver shrinking diet consisted of a Muscle Milk for Breakfast, low fat cheese between lunch and bfast. For lunch I had two In-n-out Protein style burgers (wrapped in lettuce instead of bun or another Muscle Milk. Lowfat yogurt or another low fat cheese stick for snack and for dinner a grilled chicken breast and some broccoli. I lost 11 pounds in 10 days doing this. Also, be sure to get out for at least a 30 minute walk each day. Good luck to you! Banded 4/17/09 w/.08 cc First fill 5/30/09 1.6 cc -

I can't go over more than 150 carbs per day and 50 to 60 grams of Protein a day. My hubby hid my scale this morning LOL I told him last night I wanted to weigh the morning of my surgery. I'd LOVE to have a salad by the end of the day :smile2:) We will make it though! It will be worth it. I keep thinking about possibly having only one or two incisions! That's my motivation!

Here is what I eat (mostly), I looked into the Lindora but it seemed like a diet, I think I needed a different way to eat so I didn't do it, now if I could just get them to stop emailing me! Breakfast is usually 1 of 3 things. 1) 1 egg and 1 piece of bacon 2) EAS low carb Protein Shake 3) Jachut's Green smoothie (1 cup Water, 1 cup fresh spinach, 1/2 banana, 1/2 apple, 1 scoop unjury unflavored Protein Powder pureed in blender) Snack, If I am hungry I have either 1) 1 cheese stick string cheese 2) Laughing cow light cheese wedge with 6 crackers 3) Greek yogurt 4) EAS shake lunch 1) A piece of fish (4 Oz by weight) 2) Leftover meat from the night before, (2 Oz if beef) 3) If I am busy at work, Starkist Lunch to go or a can of sardines with 6 crackers. I add a veggie to one of the meats above either leftovers from the night before or canned that I can heat up easily at work. Afternoon Snack I choose 1 from the snack list above dinner (usually cooked on the grill) 1) Beef 2 Oz 2) chicken 4 Oz 3) Fish 4 Oz 4) Pork 2 Oz I measure my meat by weight and my veggies by measure cup. We cut up fresh veggies and put them on the grill too. I make sweet potato's in the microwave and eat 1/2 of it with butter. I usually have 1/2 cup veggies and 1/2 cup carb.

Hi Texastina! What is your pre-op diet? Mine was Myocel 2 times a day with a oatmeal and yogurt breakfast and a lean protein and green vegetable dinner. The first 3 day were pure agony because I was having to detox from a Girl Scout Cookie binge! 4th day on was a lot better.

Unjury Unflavored
O.T.R. sleever replied to kjntwins's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It has a slight milky taste. Kinda like watered down powered milk. I personally use the unflavored to add protein to milk based foods like yogurt, cottage cheese, ranch dressing, etc. -
If it makes you feel less jealous, I am two years out and my sleeve makes me barf roughly once or twice a day, lol. There are some foods that I feel like I can eat much more than I should be eating and carbs would be one of them. My stomach doesn't like gravy or potatoes, but it loves crackers- I can eat a whole box of crackers in a few hours if I'm not paying attention. It's possible you may have just found one of your slider foods early in the process. As someone else said, focus on getting the Protein in first. Once you are back on solid food, this means eating the full serving of chicken, then a vegetable, and thennnn the potatoes. For me, dense Proteins make me feel instantly full and a bite too much or a bite of something my stomach decides it doesn't like, and I am barfing it all right back up. For now, try Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and thicker Protein shakes (you can blend stuff in a blender like...almond milk, Protein powder, frozen Greek yogurt, and PB2 to give you a thicker consistency, plus it tastes better). Also, why not cover your bases and make sure your stomach is actually gone? I sincerely doubt that the procedure was not done fully or correctly, but visual confirmation is always nice. Ask for a swallow study...you basically swallow this disgusting cup of goop and they watch it make its way all the way down your stomach to your intestine. You can actually see that your stomach is gone (I very vaguely remember this, I was blitzed out of my mind for my swallow study) and visually seeing that you no longer have a normal stomach might help you as well.

Still a Fight!!
**LaSaJaTa** replied to MommyTawnie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try NECTAR protien shakes. Peach is a great starting point. It's nice and clean, and will give you the protien you need. True that getting in your liquids is important, but with the right shake, you can accomplish both. The protien will also speed your healing. Also, when you're permitted soft foods, greek yogurt is a great way to boost protien.
