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.

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.

16 weeks Post Op and need help
YeaMe replied to Emileana's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
At four months out you should not be having any pain. Could you be eating too big of bites and not chewing enough? Most importantly, you need to see your surgeon so he can investigate - it shouldn't hurt. I am at 5 1/2 months out and usually only get about 850 calories in. I have to eat 6 meals to be able to get that much in. I can only tolerate 2-3 ounces at a time. Things I have found that work for me to get in extra protein are: lattes (Fairlife milk-has extra protein); yogurt, and chicken. I can't eat beef or eggs, yet. Also, I cut a Quest Protein Bar (chocolate chip cookie dough) into six slices, smash them down, and bake them. They are extremely crunchy and I usually eat 1/2 a bar a day. I know I will have to discontinue this habit soon, but it helps me get the extra protein and calories in. -
Just keep sipping...try protein water or pre-made protein shakes like Premier. I'm 1 week post op today and able to get about 64 oz in. Just take sips. I stopped pain medicine immediately after I was released and did chewable children's tylenol. It could be the meds. I haven't taken any more tylenol for a few days. I've also been do french onion or beef broth, move onto yogurt today. Stay strong!

I'm back on 2 a day of the shakes, the caramel, I have to hold my nose so I don't smell them but after a couple of days, I got used to them again. Between that, coffee in the morning, a Propel water when I work out, and a Swell bottle full of water with Crystal light, I'm doing much better. Going to the bathroom a lot, which is good, because, for a while, I didn't go at all. (And I know, you have to pee to lose weight...) That is probably the bulk of my stall. Plus I get the 60g of protein and I have some chicken breast too, and a yogurt. I'm not weighing myself, going to give it a break, but I'm thinking I've kicked the stall's ass.

3 days post surgery
hmills653 replied to Doin' It 4 me's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a hard time with the protein shakes as well, it's like you just can not do it after a point. I would suggest focus on fluids first. Try other sources of protein. One day I took a 1/4 cup of vanilla Greek yogurt and mixed in one scoop of strawberry whey protein with 25 gm protein per scoop. It didn't taste the greatest but was a small amount to get down and a significant amount of protein and not a shake. Or sometimes just changing flavors helps. Try not to over do it for pain. Take it easy. Walk around the house and just give yourself a chance to heal. I spent the first 2 weeks with a pillow on the couch watching tv and just walking, nothing more strenuous. I know as mom's you always feel like there's something to do, but try to let it go for a bit and rest. I hope you feel better. -
Just been Sleeved
MerryMarie replied to SleevesRbetterThanPantz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
There is a brand called 'SixStar' whey protein. That I found at Walmart which was unflavored and it is advertised to dissolve in anything on the label. I have added it to broth and yogurt with no change in consistency or flavor so I would say it works very well. Just be careful though when you add it to anything hot, you don't want it to be so hot that it destroys the protein molecules. -

Hi! I just finished day 2 of my 14 day liquid diet before my VSG on Aug 11. I've never had any issues with heartburn or acid reflux, until I started on all liquids. I'm drinking premier protein Shakes, Greek yogurt, Tom soup, broth... I'm worried it will get worse after surgery. Has anyone else experience this? Any advice??

1week post op and hungry
GotProlactinoma replied to Jennifer143's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine was on the 19th so I probaly counted days wrong. I had an IV today to help against dehydration. I also tried a tiny bit of the Greek yogurt. Need to make more chicken bone broth but no energy. -
RNY Bypass was 2 weeks ago today. Can't believe how far I've come in just two weeks! My surgeon has food "phases" each lasting two weeks. Phase 1 postop is liquid only (No liquids on day of surgery, water on 2nd day after upper GI confirming no leaks, & then ease into protein when possible. Jello, yogurt, and Pudding are okay in this phase. Phase 2 is "Very Soft Foods" & that starts today! My first meal is 1/4 of Egg Beaters. Fingers crossed!

The scales will not move
DianeJarrett replied to DianeJarrett's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm on the two shakes a day, plus I do have chicken breast. I try to eat an egg every once in a while, and Greek yogurt gives me 11g of protein too. I think I'm finally hitting the 60-80g of protein daily, now that I can stomach the shakes again, and the Premier Protein shakes have 30g each, I may even top the protein requirements if I have yogurt and chicken in one day. I think the calories are my biggest issue. The two shakes, the chicken, the yogurt, that's only about 614 calories. My doctor wants me to stay in the 600-800 calorie limit, but even if he didn't, I'm not sure I could top it. The only way would be to go back to my regular coffee intake, which is a latte with whole milk and caramel, but those are empty calories and I hate to do that. I will think of something. I have a tuna fish and whole wheat cracker fetish, maybe I can try 1-2 whole wheat crackers or something that will boost my calorie intake. This is so funny, me on the other end of this conundrum, trying to UP my calorie intake. How ironic is that? Again, thanks for all your help!!
