Protein intake worries
momof2littleones replied to Marissa C's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Isopure is 50g x 2 scoops. Double up on any powder. I bought protein soup mix from amazon and I love it. Also okios Greek yogurt has 10g of protein. And you can add milk to make it drinkable and add protein -
Good evening everyone. Had some rotisserie chicken 3 ounces, with spinach salad 1/2 cup. Feeling tired and achy. Took pain medication and calling it a night. Also found and made a great desert, with blueberries, WW cream cheese and vanilla yogurt mix together place spoonful in between graham crackers and freeze.. Will let you know tomorrow how they taste.

Is it okay to eat cottage cheese or yogurt a week and 1 day post op
RedOrangeSunrise replied to barbie2014's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My diet plan lists yogurt as acceptable, but not cottage cheese. I'm on high protein full liquids two weeks before and two weeks after surgery. I am now 3 days post-op. Sent from my Nexus 5X using BariatricPal mobile app -
JULY SLEEVERS- How are you doing?
Licorice replied to dreamingsmall's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved July 14. Feeling great. I'm able to eat pureed foods and drink most anything protein shakes, yogurt. I am getting around 60-80 grams or protein a day and around 500-700 calories. I started at 279 when I started two week prop diet and my weight was 273 on my surgery date and this morning my weight was 247. Crazy to lose 32 pounds in a few weeks. -
Good afternoon everyone, back at work today. Slow but I'm getting around. For breakfast had small hard boiled egg with medium size coffee. Around 10:00 apple sauce and for Lunch just had chicken soup broth I have a yogurt that I'll eat later about 2.

I had a sf kona ice early out too and it made me so sick! So do sf slurpees. St popsicles are fine- I think the flavorings must me too concentrated or something like that. I got some sf butterscotch candies that I am realizing give me the sweats and hot flash- I'm wondering if they are really sf or if maybe they have a high sugar alcohol. This is a trial and error area for sure! I ate something on Saturday that made me so nauseous and gassy for hours and can't figure it out- I only ate yogurt, yoplait 100. I'm wondering if it uses the same artificial sweetener! Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 196.6 GW 135

Anyone getting sleeved Aug 7th
ClareBear1 replied to QueenTiff's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm August 7th too! I have trouble getting PMs. They don't show up on my phone. But I'd love to keep in touch here. I'm day 7 of the liquid diet. No solids not even yogurt. I've sort of adjusted but last night my family ate in front of the TV and I just had my shake and I just wanted a piece if cheese or a carrot. So hard! I get full liquids after surgery so I'm looking forward to cream of mushroom soup with the mushrooms strained out. -
I'm June 19, down 30 and thrilled about it. I'm doing OK on water and protein, but getting 350-450 calories per day. It doesn't sound like enough, but I feel great and I go to work for my 10-hour days. I am still having lower GI distress about half the time, and that's getting really old. I made a commitment to eat plain NF Greek yogurt with active cultures every morning for breakfast, and that seems to be helping.

No Regrets ---but this is 'no fun'
Carrie1122 replied to Nanasha's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
And I forgot to mention if I haven't gone, I cannot eat nothing appeals to me. Even now... I just don't want any of it. I just stick with yogurt and water and raw veggies. I eat meat on the weekends. -

Options for Liquid Stage
dreamingsmall replied to shanelvsg's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sorry mine was pretty basic, but even on liquid different places have their own rules. EG i was not allowed yogurt others were. Crystal light, water, broth, pretty much all i had. - 4th july i had my surgery -
I should add that I'm 4 months postop, so my quantity of food is much more than you can do yet. At 4 weeks out, my diet was mostly milk, cottage cheese, and yogurt. This particular plan was evolving between 8-12 weeks. The main thing was to make sure everything I ate contained significant protein.

Your body is reacting the way it wants to and that is fine. For some, fluids go down really easy - including soup, yogurt, etc. I remember when I went to puree/softs - I was so excited for that first scrambled egg. I ate two small forkfuls and thought I was going to die I was in so much pain. That was when I learned about eating slowly. As you move to your next stage be very mindful to pace yourself. Best of luck.

Single large "hiccup" when I first drink
Missy161 replied to Missy161's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Tonight I ate yogurt around 5:15- drank water about a half hour later and then another 45 min after that we were walking around Walmart and got the hiccup so there's no reason I should have . So weird! Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 196.6 GW 135 -
Keto vs paleo??? Have you ever tried it?
Apple1 replied to xoxococojay's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I eat regular yogurt because I hate greek yogurt. Dannon makes a low sugar variety that is really good. I eat cottage cheese, and I only eat berries because they are a lower carb fruit. Sometimes I eat beans, but in small amounts. Basically I eat a variety of fish, chicken, turkey, some red meat, eggs, and vegetables. I don't eat anything low fat, but I don't target a specific level of fat either. I eat cheese almost everyday. I do not eat bread, rice, or pasta. Potatoes are a very rare treat in very small amounts. Salad greens and avocados are a favorite of mine also. I don't feel deprived eating this way at all. -
I drink about 8-10 cups of water a day. I eat and focus on protein. Typical day: breakfast of either 1 c. cottage cheese or Greek yogurt. Lunch of some sort of protein like tuna, chicken ( no more than 2 oz), or cottage cheese. Dinner again is protein in the form of meat and maybe some veg if I have room. Snacks, maybe some fruit, had watermelon the other day. I'm also not that active right now as it's 30-34 degrees C out. I'm not used to this heat and worried about dehydration.

Eating schedule for a 3rd shift worker?
Introversion replied to Pooka's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Although I no longer work nights, I used to work 12-hour night shift at a hospital from 6:00pm to 6:30am when I was first sleeved. Here's how I ate: 6:30pm: breakfast, right after receiving report. 10:00pm: snack, usually cottage cheese or hard-boiled egg 12:00am: lunch, usually grilled chicken salad or hearty soup 3:00am: snack, usually cottage cheese or protein bar/shake 6:00am: dinner, usually protein bar or shake 8:00am: bedtime snack, usually cottage cheese or yogurt -
Wow! What a difference! Day 1 2 and 3 were painful and horrible. Finally today I'm feeling 1000x better!! I was able to eat 6 Oz protein broth and 2 TBS Greek yogurt + a bit of water. I'm down 20 pounds since my pre-op liquid diet. Going back to work Monday and feel like I can handle it. Whew. I was miserable for a few days. Good luck all!

Keto vs paleo??? Have you ever tried it?
xoxococojay replied to xoxococojay's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I love that you included your average macros, it made it really easy to visualize. I'm so glad that's working for you. Do you ocasionally eat certain foods like greek yogurt, beans, fruit etc? For me at least giving up those foods makes me hesitant about a keto diet. But it should still be ok for a regular low carb diet i think. -
Gained 2 pounds!!
Sosewsue61 replied to pherrera92's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Do you have a nutritionist? Regular Dr appointments? A bariatric team? You need to address what proper nutrition is needed. Write everything down that you eat in an app like Baritastic - it's easy to use and you need to aim for at least 80 grams of protein, but shoot for higher. Ditch the ice cream, chips, and empty calories. You need nutrition to heal - protein first, then steamed veggies. If you must have a treat - try sugar free popsicles or sf jello, or greek yogurt with a little all fruit jam stirred in BUT only after meeting the protein goals first. You have a 'habit' of night eating - maybe it is anxiety or stress eating and not real hunger. Protein and some full fat cheese will help with being satisfied more than ice cream and chips - those items are slider foods and go down in huge quantities easily. Dense meat will keep you full feeling. Your head hunger will do you in if you let it. Go for a walk before your evening snack. -
Surgery was Monday 7/24. I am struggling getting protein shakes down within an hour and keeping up with hydration with a half an hour before and after. I just feel full. Seem to be having late day bloating and discomfort that is limiting my ability to drink or consume anything after 4-5pm. I have been trying to walk every two hours. Finding little relief. I also have tried 2-3 of blended greek yogurt in between shakes. Is this just gas? When does this go away? Am I putting to much pressure on my stomach? How do you know? I don't see my doctor until next Thursday 8/3. Any suggestions?

I'm 4 weeks after Surgery and I feel like the only thing I can eat is yogurt , sugar free Popsicle's and a 1/2 cup of smoothy with protein powder. Am I ever going to get to enjoy food again? I know smaller portion size is the main problem why we get overweight, but I cant even eat anything!! I'm so emotional and feel I cant get enough calories in to even feel mentally normal. Any advice ??

I'm pre-op as well, but I would ask, why does it have to be breakfast food? Just make breakfast your insignificant meal. Something you eat, only to refuel your body. Right? Eat leftovers. Eat turkey roll-ups. Eat meat salads like chicken/tuna/salmon salad. Eat sardines and mustard! (hehe--caveman style: nekkid, standing over the sink, dressed only in your undies, with the lights out and the refrigerator door open) Just eat 2-3oz of protein, 5 grape tomatoes and be done with it. From everything I read, if you put solid protein in your tum-tum, you will stay satisfied longer anyway--longer than protein drinks/bars. I love having taco meat in the fridge, cuz it's so easy to portion out. I throw in an ounce of spinach, nuke to rewarm. Stir it up. Add some salsa, a dollop of Greek yogurt (sub for sour cream), and meal done! BAM!

I am 4 years out from my RNY. I have had a hard time with meat. I can eat moist wings, which I make a mean SOY SAUCE chicken wing. Yummy Just try different meats sowly. I just now can eat a very very tender steak ( I have waited so loooong for it) One of my favorite before my WLS. We buy a T-bone steak and hubby gives me the very moist tender piece after he pounds it to death. We share it. (He also had WLS) To be honest I had to use Yogurt, beans, cottage cheese, cheese for my protein. Plus I have a protein I add to my coffee to help me get my protein in. Heck it has only been the last 9 months that I even tried bread. I buy our famous (around here anyway) DAVE'S KILLER BREAD. Al kinds of good stuff in it. Whole grain lots of nuts etc. I can eat 1 piece. I also use nuts and P. butter almond butter. All great in moderation. Good Luck!! I hope you can do better with your meat challenge.
