Cut Calories and Excercise and no weight loss
bwillia08 replied to bwillia08's topic in Fitness & Exercise
I did have insulin resistance! Which is why she started me on metformin. So I shouldn't be eating oatmeal at all or the veggie pasta? I thought it wasn't really a carb because it was made out of veggies. 😩 I was eating those two things because I felt too weak at the gym only eating protein. I'll cut the oatmeal and veggie pasta for a week and try only salads then maybe? Any other recommendations? I try to stay away from dairy since I'm lactose intolerant and I don't really eat yogurt. So any recommendations I'd love! Thank you. -
How many ounces do you eat per day and how far out?
hmills653 replied to dreamingsmall's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
9 weeks now. I have a protein bar or 2 eggs for breakfast. Sting cheese or fruit for snack. 2 oz meat lunch. Greek yogurt or string cheese for snack. 2 oz meat dinner or maybe veggie and not finish all of meat. -
Surgery went well. I got to add a bit of greek yogurt today, which was wonderful! I'm uploading another video, but I'm not sure how often I'll do them. I feel funny. I guess I'll get used to it. How are you making out? Added my chewable calcium today. Will take my vitamins tonight with my 6:00 meal. Didn't want to do them on an empty stomach, so shifted the times. I'm using Celebrate vitamins. The orange calcium isn't too bad...crossing my fingers I can tolerate the multi's tonight!

I was sleeved on 8/2 and surgeon approved full liquid diet on day 8/4.. most of the threads I'm reading say clear liquids for one week then progression into next phase..did anyone skip the clear and move onto full liquids such as protein drinks, yogurts, cream of wheat? -
How many ounces do you eat per day and how far out?
PAstudent replied to dreamingsmall's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
3 months out and I'm finding my stomach's capacity erratic. I've had up to 5 ounces (by weight) of dense food like steak or chicken and 5 ounces (by volume) of things like yogurt and felt totally fine, possibly could have more but don't want to push it. But, I've also had meals lately where I've only had 2 ounces (by weight) of food and felt totally full (even though I hadn't eaten in hours). -
Current vegetarian- don't want to do keto diet postop.
makemyownluck replied to smooshycheeks's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
There are vegan options for shakes, but I haven't tried them. I found this list on google, from PETA https://www.peta.org/living/food/pump-workouts-vegan-protein-powder/ It looks like it could be helpful. I think your biggest challenge if vegan is the immediate post op stage where most people rely on shakes, cottage cheese, yogurt, jello, etc to get through the healing part, so you may have to be just vegetarian and allow the dairy in your diet to make it through. Once you're over that, you should be able to choose a diet you want with more veggies as your food source, but use tofu and non-dairy protein shakes to meet your protein goals. Most post op people are on a keto diet because, well, it works! And aside from the high fat intake (which isn't necessary for post-op bariatric patients because it's function is to aid in satiety in non-surgical folks, and is a LIMIT, not a GOAL), the protein and carb requirements are in line with what we need anyway. So it helps to follow keto in the sense that the keto community offers great meal ideas that keep the carbs in check and don't use added sugars. -
Halo Top in Protien Shake??
Dalrae replied to shalove's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try adding non fat Greek yogurt to the protein you like and that will add on extra protein -
Make at home Protein Shakes
Missy161 replied to rayb70's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Go on Pinterest and search. I have a mutts ninja and just put that in my search and found a ton of recipes. I usually just trial and error it though - some Greek yogurt a few berries a scoop of protein powder some ice a little milk or juice and whip it up- less is more or you'll have so much leftover! My kids love them too. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 194 GW 135 -
Thanks for that suggestion!!! I will def be trying that. I miss yogurt! I currently took the dive & having some mashed potatoes bc I have literally been getting in maybe 100-200 calories and every time I get up I get blurry vision and dizzy. Have been wanting yogurt and I was already an avid fairlife milk fan. Thank ya'll!!!! Today seems like a better day

The triple zero yogurt is the only one I can tolerate out of the regular sf brands because it has no artificial sweeteners. I tried yoplait 100 and it made me so sick- realized I don't tolerate sugar alcohols hardly at all. So glad the triple zero comes in great flavors! Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 194 GW 135

I was the same way and my nutritionist recommend triple 0 yogurt it has 15 gm of protein and fairlife milk 13 gm protein. Mix them together in my blender bottle and then pour it in 9 of my 2oz cups and drink for the next 2 hours (I do this twice a day minimum and that yield 56 gm(s) of protein then I drink 4oz of milk to get to the 60 minimum). I struggled with the shakes and have about 6 brands in powder forms and the vitamins are just horrible. maybe you try that and see if that helps. She gave me another brand of yogurt but I forgot the name so for now I just use the triple 0 ( she recommended that as well). They have many flavors so you can change up the taste so you don't get tired of it. Let me know.

Protien Shakes help [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]
biginjapan replied to shalove's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't mind the Premier pre-mixed shakes, but making shakes from the powder is disgusting (for me at least). I've been using Syntrax powders (both traditional powders - chocolate, vanilla, and unflavoured) and Syntrax nectars (which are like drinking juice) both pre- and post-op. In both cases you get 23g of protein, 0 carbs, 0 sugars, 100 calories. The nectars I usually mix with just water, but the powders I mix with unflavoured almond milk (or soy milk), and if I'm using chocolate, I usually add some PB2 peanut butter powder and (sometimes) either unflavoured/unsweetened Greek yogurt or half a small block of fresh soft tofu (the latter will make it thick like a milkshake), plus (usually) a banana. On top of that I always add either flax or chia seeds (ground). All those add-ons add to the protein count (often I get between 30-35g, depending on what I use). Oh - my new favourite smoothie is mixing Syntrax Roadside Lemonade with unsweetened almond milk, and 1/2 cup of frozen raspberries (or other berries) - it's really refreshing in the summertime! -
I'm burnt out on yogurt as well. Some days it just completely turns my stomach. I've been eating cottage cheese a lot. Muuna makes a cottage cheese that's mixed with fruit already that I like a lot. I also eat Special K protein cereal with fairlife milk sometimes or will have an Atkins meal replacement bar. They are low carb, taste well and have high protein. I can't tolerate eggs very well but I'm able to eat Egg whites and hard boiled eggs so occasionally I will bring a hard boiled egg or get an egg white omelet if I'm out or it's a weekend. Sometimes I will treat myself to half an English muffin with peanut butter or a little butter on it.

I've been hitting it most days. I'm 2 mos out also. Here's whay gets me to the number we need. Breakfast: protein bar 20 gm of protein. Morning snack: string cheese. Lunch: 2 oz chicken. Afternoon snack: Greek yogurt. Dinner: 2 oz chicken. Yes , I know I'm not getting any veggies yet but I can't meet every goal.... if I eat some veggies I can't get enough of the meat in so I have veggies some days not always. I think as time goes by we'll be able to fit more in.

August Sleevers ?!
XYZXYZXYZ1955 replied to ladycharizar's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Here's the basic list: Water Broth Jell-O Decaf tea Decaf coffee Sugar free Popsicles Sugar free drinks that are not carbonated (This list was taken from the obesitycoverage.com website), but it also reflects what I've read on many, many posts here. For the sugar-free drinks, try Crystal Light for flavoring. I think you can also have protein water during this phase . . . otherwise, only the broth has any protein, I think. At any rate, as soon as you move to the full liquid diet, it adds quite a bit--protein shakes, sugar-free pudding, cream soups, nonfat yogurt, and so on. -
Best and Worst of the Soft Food Phase
Lannie replied to RedOrangeSunrise's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I ate a lot of eggs, cottage cheese, yogurt and hummus. I had spicy Indian tomato soup week one....not my best idea...didn't sit well. By the end of week 2, I was eating panang curry without problem. Spice is going to be trial and error. i also did Vsg...so it may be different for bypass. Good luck. -
My Roundabout Journey
dhazlegrove replied to dhazlegrove's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
No, not yet. The 3-week pre-op diet is clear liquids only. Once I get sleeved (this Friday -- YAY!) I can go to any liquids, so yogurts will be okay then, Can't wait to have some yogurts and soups. Same old few liquids were SO BORING. I could have coffee or tea, but I'm a cream and sugar guy. I could handle the Splenda or Truvia, but it's just a little off without the creamer. The one upside I had was sugar-free gelatin, but even that gets kind of monotonous when it's ALL you can have, -
So what does everyone eat?
sylvia2017 replied to TooneyNinosMom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm almost 6 weeks out and I'm getting burnt out on yogurt and protein shakes too. They were my main source of protein for 4 weeks and I lost 50lbs. Now that I can eat real food I haven't lost a single lb in 2 weeks. I've heard about the 3 week stall. I hope I'll start back soon. I think I've got to lay off fruit and oj. I buy the trop 50 oj it's less sugar less fat but I love it. I want a salad so bad but I haven't tried raw veggies yet. Kinda afraid to try.

I would say definitely call your surgeon. My first week was extremely painful. I ended up being put on a prescription for stomach spasms and that helped. I only took it for about a week and then I was fine. Everyone's post-op diet is different. My surgeon wanted me to get 40oz of liquid in before starting on protein and then 64oz of liquids and 50g of protein daily. The protein shakes were/are very harsh on my stomach and I had to stop drinking them. My surgeon recommended trying a shake using greek yogurt instead but even that doesn't sit well. So it's Isopure Protein water drinks for me. I am 5 weeks out and so far the only food that I can eat (that I like) is applesauce, raw nuts, and beans (refried beans or soups). I've tried fish and it sometimes goes down fine but it did hurt last week. I'm hoping it was just a fluke and maybe I ate too fast or didn't chew enough. I have tried chicken and turkey sausage but it's too heavy for me right now and hurts big time. So I'll wait a little longer. Call your surgeon about the pain though. Hopefully it's an easy fix.

Just a look at gastric bypass in other countries
Romaina posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I'm from Argentina and I'm at a week after my gastric bypass. It seems to my some of my experiences are a bit different mainly in the pre op / post op diet. I started dieting pre op with the nutritionist in my surgery team almost 7 weeks before surgery. The first 3 weeks were a solid diet of high protein low carb diet with no sugar or alcohol whatsoever. The 4th week it was alternating days of solid diets and liquid diet and the last three week just liquid diet. The liquid diet consisted of Breakfast: 1 cup of coffee and milk (fat free) with the protein mixed in Mid morning: 1 cup of sugar free yogurt Lunch: 1 cup of soup (low calories) + fruit shake (half a banana +milk) with protein added Mid afternoon: the juice of 2 oranges Afternoon : same as breakfast Dinner: same as lunch All of this plus at least 2lts of water I lost 26 pounds before surgery. I'm starting my 2nd week post op and during the first week it was just water, te, clear broth and sugar free jello (of course with the vitamins). The goal was to get at least 2 lts of liquid consuming 1 cup in an hour. Yesterday I was given the diet for the second week and it's kinda similar to the pre op liquid diet (with a but more powder protein added) with out the yogurt, orange juice and fruit shake (always adding the vitamins) I have lost 15 pounds since surgery day and really feel soooo full all day that I don't even crave anything else. I'll keep you posted on how thing progress!! Sent from my LG-H815 using BariatricPal mobile app -

My Roundabout Journey
DinaJuneSleever replied to dhazlegrove's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hey!!! Are u allowed to have yogurt??? -
My surgery will be 3 weeks ago on Thursday. All docs are different. Mine has us do 3 phases of 2 weeks each. I'm in phase 2 now, "very soft foods". But I still need the protein shakes, Greek yogurt, etc to make up the protein I need. The food is such small portions that I'm not able to get enough protein out of it. Food I can eat right now is 2 ounce servings of one of these: scrambled egg whites (Egg Beaters), cottage cheese, potatoes, Cream of Wheat, oatmeal, refried beans, stuff like that. Hope this helps!
