Yeah, my nutritionist told me never to eat carbs without protein. So always peanut butter or greek yogurt or something like that along with my fruits or whole grains. Of course, I'm still never really eating fruits or whole grains, so it hasn't been an issue for me yet.

I eat at least 3 servings of fruit a day. I do get my protein first, but Greek yogurt and an apple after a workout is the best! I also eat a lot of dried fruit--peaches, apricots, figs, plums. My weight-loss has not stalled since surgery this past August. Eight months out and going strong!

Normal? Depends on the day, but often I have a tuna salad kit for lunch at work. Today, I took homemade chili Beans instead and had about 6 saltines with it. This evening, for dinner, I have had only shredded roast beef cooked in the crockpot with onions, no gravy. I will probably have some yogurt later to take my medications. I don't often eat Breakfast, but if I do, it's normally a Protein bar. I am 3 yrs out and no longer have alot of restriction due to esophageal relaxation. I struggle with the carb hungry monster and the only way I can beat it is to detox myself from it. Often a weekend will be spent on boiled eggs and chicken breasts. For veggies, I'll open a can of green beans, sometimes asparagus etc.

To stay full longer, its all about protein, protein, protein. For fast easy meals, I go for things that are alreaedy prepared and I can just help myself to s serving. I will make chili with ground turkey and after I nuke it, I'll add 1/4c ff plain greek yogurt to really boost the protein. It is super yummy. I also love Taco Soup, loaded with black beans and again ground turkey, I also add the greek yogurt to that too. My all time fave, I have an addiction too is ff plain greek yogurt, reduced fat peanut butter or pb2 (powdered pb) and splenda mixed together. Makes my mouth water just typing this. Notice my theme, FF Greek Yogurt, which I hated yogurt until I was banded. Key Lime with crushed pecans is really good too. Putting up ground turkey burgers, mixed with black beans, another good one. More protein please. With the LB, its all about being prepared. If you can spend a weekend day preparing meals and freezing them, its easier to just grab a serving.

Not losing like we should
Matt Z replied to Sleeve12/27/2017's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That sucks that you can't tolerate meats... Have you asked your surgical team about it? Are you able to consume other protein heavy foods? Cottage cheese, yogurt, etc? How's your water consumption? Your tag block says you've lost 108 lbs since Dec 27 already, that's pretty epic! Things to factor in, when we get older and thinner the basal metabolic rate slows, meaning the baseline calorie requirement for someone to exist without any added exercise (ie if one slept in bed all day long) lowers. So we have to keep adjusting that calorie target or increasing exercise to combat the reduction in the basal. Also, muscle mass increases causes increases in daily caloric requirements, so weight lifting for mass can be helpful in fat reduction. Good Luck! -
If I COULDA....I WOULDA...
Pammers Johnson commented on Pammers Johnson's blog entry in Pammers Johnson's Blog
P.S. I'm supposed to have 3 protein shakes a day and added fruit isn't on the list, but I opted to try 2 shakes instead of 3 and add the fruit. (And cottage cheese) Tommorow I'll try to do 3 protein drinks and see how I do. I also bought some plain Greek yogurt to fill in for and shakes I skip. -

Pammers Johnson commented on Pammers Johnson's blog entry in Pammers Johnson's Blog
Today was better...sort of. Had my am shake blended with 1/2 banana. Lunch shake plain blended with Ice. Drank couple glasses of water and an ice tea. Then lean cuisine at dinner. Was still hungry so ate a cup of steamed broccoli. Then a couple bites of plain yogurt. I'm still hungry, but heading to bed. It's hard to go from 2000-3500 calories a day to 900.... -

letsgetitstarted replied to KarenInOhio's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi All, I was banded on the 5th, been on liquids since. I'm hoping to move to mushies this week at my 3 week appt. I'm leaving Sat. for a 5 week assignment in India:ohmy:, so will be looking for some encouragement from abroad. I will be on mushies, soft foods, and transitional foods while away. I should be good with eggs and yogurt for breakfast,and plan to bring instant oatmeal and protein drinks for lunch, but will be struggling for dinner.:huh2: Any ideas are welcome. -
Hit my first plateau at 3 weeks
TStew replied to PatrickG's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The easiest things for me to get down are cottage cheese, SF pudding with Protein powder mixed in and yogurt. I can eat ONE scrambled egg and it's REALLY difficult to get down - a fried egg went down much easier (not sure why). Someone on this board suggested egg beaters because it's not as dense and goes down a lot easier. -
I found it at market basket right next to the cream cheese. It has a little yogurt taste to it but its not bad. 2tbsp- 30 cals 3G fat 1g sat fat 1g carbs 3G sugar 2G Protein.

I am 6 weeks post op, down 28 pounds, cleared for "full foods". However, I can't seem to keep down meat, like steak, roast beef, spare ribs. I can eat ground meat. I think I am eating slow enough and chewing enough, but I stop after about one ounce because my stomach hurts and then a few minutes later;;;;up it comes. Is this normal? Does it ever change? I don't want to eat Greek Yogurt and shakes my whole life. I seem to do better with chiden and moist fish.... Thanks.

I have had countless stalls. Like you I do not eat bread, Pasta, starches. I do include veggies with my dinner. I live on premier choc shakes, Quest Protein bars, Greek yogurt, nuts, meat and select veggies. 70 + grams of protein a day is a must for me. HW 358 SW 344 CW 247 RNY 4/11/2013

today I've had 2 weetbix for breakfast half a yoyo(cookie) and a coffee at MT a yogurt, 4 Water crackers with cheese spread and a small banana for lunch about six macadamia nuts 1/2 c spaghetti bolognaise for dinner and I just had 4 more water crackers because I just did a big run and I'm starving. I had a fill today which explains the tiny dinner, I normally eat a lot more than that.

Saturday was a bad day, I ate some fruit for breakfast and was sooooo busy I virtually didnt eat all day. I got by with coffee, a spoonful of Peanut Butter and probably 4 potato chips and a glass of wine at ,y niece's birthday party. I had spaghetti bolognaise out of the freezer for dinner, about 1/2 a cup. No vegetables, hardly any Protein, too much caffeine. Difference is in my previous life on a day like that I would have swung through the drive through for a large quarter pounder meal and hoed into the chips, cake and junk at the birthday party. Yesterday was better: Breakfast - muesli with greek yogurt, pureed berries and skim milk lunch - brie and mustard preserved apricots on Water crackers (4) and a banana Dinner - a bbq'd sausage, new potatoes and a big salad, small glass of wine.

Calorie count for post-surgery
MizzouGirl replied to Texas Belle's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For breakfast I typically have a half a cup of 2% cottage cheese with a little natural pineapple juice on it and half a banana. For lunch I have soup or fish with a veggie. For dinner I have fish with a veggie or ricotta bake (recipe on here) with a veggie. So far, my veggie of choice has been oven roasted brussell sprouts tossed in olive oil with a little kosher salt. I roast them until they are fairly mushy. For snacks I have Greek yogurt, cheese and/or a fudgesicle. I also drink 2-3 cups of tea in addition to 40-60 oz of water. I should mention that I refuse to consume artificial sweeteners (my opinion is that they are far worse for you than real sugar but I respect others may disagree) so my yogurt, fudgesicle, etc are higher calorie. I try to keep my carbs under 60 grams. I'm 3 weeks post op and have lost 29 lbs. -
Orbera balloon scheduled for 5/12
Sailor Doom replied to michelleg46's topic in Gastric Balloon Forum
@@Wayward Traveler yeah, I'm not keen to stop my daily 40mg of Esomeprazole, the doctor said to stay on it for the six months and (I think) aside from treating any possible symptoms it can also act as a preventative for ulcer formation (which we would be susceptible to with the balloon constantly irritating our stomachs - or at least that is my understanding). While I haven't had reflux as I know it - the burny, vom in throat kind - I do wonder if my (very) mild discomfort these past two evenings is perhaps a small manifestation. Last night and tonight I attempted to 'up' my Protein by following my tasty but not terribly nutritionally valuable pumpkin Soup (150ml) with a strained chobani yogurt (150ml). I ate each over the course of 30 min with 30 minutes between, but tonight I still have this fullness behind my sternum and a feeling in my throat like I've got a big pill stuck there. Not terrible, certainly not enough to effect sleep or something... I wouldn't call it reflux because it doesn't burn, but maybe it is? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Help!!!! Help me please!!!
Littleboo9 replied to Toriann94's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi I had surgery on Oct 9 and everyday feel nauseous. Two things have helped curve the nausea: hot tea and chicken broth. Water also helps. This week I started my blended diet and have tried plain yogurt and tofu. I loved protein shakes before surgery, but cannot stomach them at the moment. So while my diet is bland I feel less nausea over the course of the day. Best of luck. -
Hard time getting to solid diet
Orchids&Dragons replied to beverlyjh51's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I'm 3 months out and have just started tolerating solids. I still get almost all my nutrition from yogurt and protein water. Try the protein water, it is easier than shakes, imho. Do check with your doctor. Mine wasn't worried at 6 weeks, but he did send me for additional testing at 11 weeks. But as @Pearldrop says, we're all different and some of us heal more slowly. And I agree with @shelly420, this is a great opportunity for weight loss if your protein intake improves. Hope all goes well. -
The honeymoon phase (+more)
LipstickLady replied to crazyweight's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My forever "diet" calls for 60-80g of Protein a day. Even at almost 15 months out, I have little room for fruits and veggies during a meal. I do 6 mini meals a day because my restriction is very tight. Can you do Beans? Tofu? Vegan Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt? -
HINT: Check the nutrition facts of anything new u might buy. Just finished my Trader Joes Greek Honey Yogurt (8 oz) for a total of 290 cals. Of course, I didn't know till I finished, otherwise I wouldn't have eaten it. Even eating 1/2 woulda been too much for yogurt. Geez, what the heck r they thinking? To make something that seems so innocent so guilty? I will be reading labels before I buy next time...

290 calories for Greek yogurt? EEEEKKKK...
Miss Mac replied to marfar7's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
The Fit and Active Vanilla Greek Yogurt that I get from Aldi's has 140 calories per cup. -
Today is 4 weeks post RNY surgery for me. - Down 16.8 lbs. I've had a couple of times where my weight has stayed stable for more than 5 days in that 4 weeks (including now). Still watching to see if a pattern emerges and trying to take it in stride (not always successfully). - No issues with liquids at all (yay!). I have been getting between 80 and 100 most days. - Eating up to 4 oz at a time. I haven't tried for more except with greek yogurt (I eat the whole container of the Oikos triple zero which is just over 5 oz). - On soft foods for the last 2 weeks and so far I've tolerated everything I've tried (eggs, Tuna, Ricotta bake, lunchmeat, etc...). I had chicken for the first time today (canned and made into chicken salad) and that went down well. - I can get my protein in but only if I do a couple of shakes (or max a premier out by adding some collagen). - Walking daily up to 1 mile. I go back to work on Thursday (I was VERY fortunate to take a full month off). I also plan on starting back with my rowing machine in addition to the walking. All in all I am extremely happy with how I've healed so far. I'm looking forward to continuing the journey. I have a lot of work ahead of me to get to a healthy weight but I am hopeful.

How do you get 70gm of protein without shakes
TheWigster replied to Unhappysleever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
eggs for Breakfast, greek yogurt or cheese & lunchmeat for Snacks, tuna for lunch and Protein for dinner. It is possible but you have to count carefully.
