I would love yogurt! But, my doc said the liquids have to be clear the first week. I can start yogurt and pudding in a few days though...I hope!

Nuts and greek yogurt worked well for me. Put the nuts in little serving baggies so not to get carried away. Almonds were my fav.

My NUT was pretty useless except for vitamin and supplement advice. I low-carbed to goal and my carbs were rarely above 50, usually 20-30. I'd get to 50more than one serving of milk, yogurt, or cheese. Now that I'm at goal I don't count carbs anymore and eat what I want in moderation, protein first.

I had thrush after surgery my bariatric doc said it was from the antibiotic and having 85% of my stomach removed compromised my immune system. He gave me a mouthwash and I started eating Greek yogurt to rebalance my stomachs PH, yes it is true it generally happens with a compromised or weak immune system but being on that antibiotic and the stomach removal my system was pretty compromised.

Sleeved On Monday. Protein Making Me Ill
Jeni Martin replied to Lauranbob Mc's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You just had your surgery... I wasn't released from hospital until four days because I wasn't drink enough of anything. Hopefully in a few days you will start being able to drink more. My favorite Protein drink is a powder protein in a blender with a tablespoon of sugar free pudding mix and either a tablespoon of Peanut Butter or 1/4 of yogurt, and I use skim milk -
Hi all! I am currently in the process of losing the 15 lbs my insurance plan requires before my surgery is scheduled. Since I am working to lose the weight anyway, I figured why not start making the lifestyle changes that I'll be making post-surgery? So I've been working on things like eating a more protein-forward diet, not drinking with or for 25 minutes after meals, etc. I thought maybe all of us in the same situation could share some things that are working for us here! I'll start! Meals aren't really such a problem for me personally, it's more the Snacks that I find to be a challenge. Here's a few high(er) Protein snacks that I enjoy: Lowfat or Fat-free cheese Stick Fat-free cottage cheese mixed with a few cut-up olives Fat-free plain Greek yogurt mixed with PB2 and Splenda (this has a TON of protein and tastes like Peanut Butter pie!) A couple of slices of uncured turkey lunch meat 2 Wasa crispbreads with lite laughing cow cheese, sliced tomatoes, and herbs (Ok, this one isn't so high-protein, but it's soooo yummy!) Hardboiled egg with mustard (I call it poor man's deviled eggs!) What is everyone else doing to adjust to our new life?

Getting through Thanksgiving 2-3 weeks post op
JadeVT replied to CarpeDiem129's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey there Same-Day Sleevie (11/8)!!!!!! I've planned a little something with just my mom, dad, and I (family is on the otherside of the country or out of the country). Here's what's on the menu (for me): Mashed Potatoes (not chunky for me) Cranberry Sauce Peas (mashed) Ground Turkey with Stuffing (cooked soft - might not eat it) Baked Cauliflower Mac & Cheese (won't eat that day; will freeze for next week) Ricotta Bake Granted, I'm not going to eat that all at one time (will be spaced out for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner that day, along with one Premier Protein blended with Plain Greek Yogurt for extra protein -- to drink at two separate times) We're lucky we're in the stage of pureed/soft foods around this time lol. My doc and nutritionist is fine with it, as long as I get my exercise in every day lol. -
Protein vs Calories what's too much
smith08817 replied to Renea Glover's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It sounds like you are packing a lot of calories into a shake. Try using Crystal Light for flavor, unflavored protein powder like Genepro which has far fewer calories than flavored whey protein, and water. My doctor says 90 grams of protein a day and stay under 50 grams of carbs. The total calories ends up between 600-800 depending on what my other sources of protein are plus vegetables or small amount of fruit. Portion size is key - no more than 3 oz of meat and then add in a very small salad or some veg. I would eat the yogurt alone for breakfast and have a protein shake mid-morning. This forum is a good place to look for ideas from people who have been through what you are experiencing. Good luck! -
To the filthy liars who say cravings go away
ziggypbang replied to KittyChick's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Important topic, and I'm a filthy liar! (Wink!). I've indulged in all sorts of crap since being sleeved, but I do realize that there are significant psychological and nutritional factors that make each person's journey different. I'm six months out and remain very much in the learning phase with my new tool! Here are some of the tips that I need to stay on track: 1. I write down what I eat as well as calorie content. 2. I drink Protein on waking, as an afternoon snack and before bed, for a total of 340 calories per day. 3. I eat 40-50 calories worth of dark chocolate after lunch, or as a snack. 4. I only eat fruit once per day, and always with Greek yogurt, and limit to 2-3 oz fruit. I don't eat bananas. 5. My meals are tasty, because I feel deprived with boring food. They are half protein, half veggies. Rarely cheese, it just slows me down. Beans are great! 6. No white stuff. I don't even bother with brown rice, but may add it back when I reach goal. 7. Sometimes I have to look away from store shelves or advertisements for food. I also have to mute the TV during commercials. 8. I get my fluids! Sometimes my fluids include a Light sugar free decaf Starbucks caramel frappucino, and that is the biggest treat ever! But it only puts me back 100 calories. Awesome! 9. I started working out before surgery, and I will not stop. I can see my biceps, and that makes me proud and happy regardless of whether I continue to wear half sleeves to cover the bat wings. 10. I keep healthy Snacks available always, especially for my car ride home from work when the siren song of the beautiful cheese croissants from the super market next door used to seduce me so regularly. Even while grocery shopping I have to walk around the bakery area. 11. 50 ways to So I the Yourself Without Food is a wonderful book on mindful eating. Its heavy stuff, but its real. It takes effort to do something as big as overcoming a food addiction. But it can be done. You get the idea. These are MY ways of dealing with my imperfect mind. But they do help. May you find your path to success and a more peaceful mind, too! -
2 weeks post-op,the highs and lows, so far.
The New Kel posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am two weeks post op today! I feel like October 3rd was a second birthday for me. On that day a new way of life was launched! Physically, I have been really fortunate I think, regarding healing. Surgery was uncomplicated, and recovery has gone fine. Not much pain. The only pain I have had regularly is in my deepest incision site. But that is finally almost gone! I didn't have much gas, and not a lot of nausea post-op. I am still on full liquids and trying to be creative so I don't go crazy. I have my protien shakes (which are begining to make me nauseaus), non fat sugar free yogurt, and strained soups- tomato basil is fantastic! I really needed something non-sweet tasting with protien so I took a carton of non-fat cottage cheese and I put it in the blender till it was thinned out to the consistancy of yogurt. Sounds disgusting right? It works for me, I eat 1/4 cup or less at a time and it helps the cravings for savory. I have had a couple days of extreme weakness. As in having to lay down for hours. I realized that it was not drinking enough of the Protein. Emotionally, it's been harder. I realize now I was a food addict. So, so many aspects of my life revolved around food (bad ones), pre-surgery. Now post surgery, I find that I have hours of time that I have to fill with new, healthy activites and hobbies. The biggest eye-opener for me 2 weeks out is how much time and mental attention that I used to give bad food. It was my life! So....reinventing now. So, this is my experience two weeks out! I see the surgeon and NUT Wednesday. I am hopeful to graduate to pureed or soft foods! Stats: HW: 239 9/23/16 SW: 219 10/3/16 CW: 211 10/17/16 -
Sharing my Doctor's Post-Op Diet
Rachel412 replied to JøAnna's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Lordy, my surgeon is slower than any other one I've seen so far. Clear liquids & protein shakes for FOUR weeks, with light yogurt (no fruit) and sugar-free pudding added in on week three. -
Any april 2014 sleevers? I need buddies!
Tammylb replied to jacquelynndiaz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I do the same as you . I eat meat meat and oh yea meat. I drink a premiere protein shake half at a time . Your body can't absorb all that protein at one time. I eat a egg a day and a 100 cal Greek yogurt . I love the p3 protein snacks and turkey jerky bites. I was eating seafood but my hair was thinning so I switched to cooking beef patties ( for iron) on George Forman with sautéed mushroom and onions peppers . I am a slow and steady 2 pounds per week looser . -
Cruise At 3 Months Post Op! Help!
elsnanny replied to EarthyGoalie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
While I haven't been on a cruise POST OP, I have recently went on a cruise and I thought about what they had. First let me say there's a TON of options!! At every restaurant they are very happy to accommodate and please their guests. All the buffets have soups, yogurts, cottage cheese, applesauce, scrambled eggs etc. If I were in your shoes, I would pack stuff from home just in case. There will be a fridge in your room. Have so much fun!!! -
It is indeed hard!! And I too envy people whom get to eat one protein rich meal, yogurt etc. but it does get easier as time goes on because surgery is right around the corner. hang in there!

Eating and drinking with sleeve
BlackBerryJuice replied to Weigh8nomor's topic in Food and Nutrition
Call me naughty, but I drink before and after I eat, even though my surgeon's guidelines say not to. Just small sips, nothing major. After learning in gastroenterology class that only particles smaller than 1 mm in size can pass through the pyloric sphincter, I'm a little skeptical of this whole "fluids will push your piece of steak right through" idea. Yogurt, maybe, but not most foods. -
Anybody Else On 11/23?
charissa70737 replied to charissa70737's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Michi my pre op starts tomorrow, Friday. Its basically all liquid diet. No sugar or caffiene. Lots of yogurt, Protein Shakes, creamy Soups, sugar free pudding, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles. AND LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER! Im not really looking forward to it... especially since I will be cooking Thanksgiving dinner for my family the day before my surgery. Seems kinda cruel huh? LOL GOOD LUCK AND KEEP ME POSTED ON YOUR SURGERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
I bet you didn’t think you’d see these two words - Valentine's Cheesecake - together in a bariatric nutrition tip, right? Regular cheesecake is laden with fat and sugar. This version can be a treat for Valentine’s Day that provides a good source of protein and some calcium. As a bariatric patient, you don’t have much volume in your stomach pouch. That means that you need to pack in as many nutrients as possible when choosing your foods. This recipe can be used before the pre-surgery liquid diet begins or after surgery when you can have soft and pureed proteins. For RNY gastric bypass patients, that means one week after surgery. For sleeve gastrectomy patients, that means two weeks after surgery. This treat is not only good for your heart, but it’s also good for your muscles and bones. Equipment: Medium mixing bowl Hand or tabletop mixer Serving dish or container that will hold ½ cup (4 oz.) Yield: 6 (½- cup) servings Ingredients 4 oz. fat free cream cheese 16 oz. plain, non-fat Greek yogurt ½ package (1 oz) Sugar Free, Fat Free Jello Instant Pudding Use a flavor of instant pudding you’d like (chocolate, vanilla, cheesecake). 2-3 packets Splenda or other sweetener 4 oz. Cool Whip Free Directions Place cream cheese in a medium mixing bowl. Mix cream cheese and yogurt until smooth. Blend instant pudding with cream cheese and yogurt until smooth. Blend Splenda and Cool Whip with other ingredients until smooth. Spoon into ½ cup containers. Adapted from Spark People Recipes Nutrition Information per serving: Calories: 106 Fat: 0 gr Protein: 10 gr Carbohydrate: 12 gr Calcium: 85 mg Enjoy before you go on the pre-surgery liquid diet and after surgery when you can have soft/pureed protein.

Dr. Aceves Post Op Diet Question
theshwa replied to AnneAC's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Anne, i had some greek yogurt yesterday and the had the runs ALL NITE LONG!!! BAD GIRL!!!!! just thought Id share! Also, I tried to go back to work yesterday and I was NOT READY. I took a few more days off. Im so bored at home tho. How have you been feeling? -
I mix yogurt and cottage cheese. This increases the Protein content of the snack and the cottage cheese cuts the sharp flavor of the yogurt. I will have 2 oz of the mix in the afternoon as a snack. As for crunchy, I eat raw sunflower seeds, roasted soybeans and pumpkin seeds. I have not found a granola that will be low carb.

At the seminar I attended, the doctor said one of his patients came in and complained about not losing any weight. She said her only indulgence was yogurt. It turned out she was eating TEN containers per day! So, while he said yogurt was okay when eaten in moderation, it slides down the banded opening, and is not something you want to get into a habit of snacking on. I don't know the right amount because I haven't gotten that far in the process, but it sounds like, in moderation, dairy is fine.

I had my 2nd fill 3 days ago. I stayed on the liquids for a day and then slowly am trying to add soft foods. I can eat an entire yogurt, no problem . Earlier today I had a protien shake and could only drink about 3 ounces. I figured maybe I was still full from the yogurt (2.5 hours before)Tonight I tried to eat some scrambled eggs and got about 3 very small bites down, I felt horrible, it felt like something was stuck, then some came back up. I am wondering if I am too full, did I eat the wrong thing, did I eat too fast? or maybe I just need to take more time with the liquids. Is this normal? Any responses would be greatly appreciated.
