Pre-Surgery Meal Prep Ideas
Diana_in_Philly replied to ceejae124's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
I do shakes in the morning - I make them at home and bring them with - Fairlife Skim Milk, protein powder and about a cup of fruit. Oikos Triple Zero Yogurt. Cheese sticks (cheddar, mozzarella, etc.). Almonds. I'm 10 months out and use a small cooler bag for work because I don't have access to a fridge. -

Yogurt, cottage cheese, homemade soup broth, once you get to puréed stage you can eat any meat and veggies just purée in your blender. Ricotta bake is a popular recipe also. -

Hard boiled eggs, chicken breast grilled and sliced up, salad, three bean salad (google recipe), tuna salad in lettuce wraps - there are to-go tuna packs you can keep at work. Greek yogurt and some berries to mix in - buy a little six pack cooler, premixed protein shakes, soup - again homemade and in serving size containers, make a pot roast w green peppers, onions and italian spices - divide up in containers.

Pain gets better. I promise! I am 20 days post op and feel great. Around day 14 pain gets much better. I can take very big sips of water, eat yogurt and very soft eggs with no issues. Headache could be from the narcotic. Try straight Tylenol. Also look into getting a belly binder. It helps keep those muscles tight so you don't have to. Ice packs also feel good. Stay focused on the end game. It's worth it!

10 weeks in an nausea all the time? Help
Julie norton replied to Heavyduty1966's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Maybe refried beans with cheese when you are cleared? Baked store bought tofu might surprise you (teriyaki for me). Greek yogurt? Fairlife extra protein milk, quest bars and one bars help me. Keep trying. You can do this and it could change your life!! -
I'm really looking for some reassurance from people who are losing weight very successfully. I lost 17 lbs after my first 12 days post op, and I have not lost anything else in a week. I know about the early stalls and I keep telling myself that is probably what's wrong. I just want to make sure that what I'm eating sounds right to you guys, incase I should be eating more..or eating less. I started adding a very slow jog to my walk yesterday, along with some arm exercises, so I'm going to see if that helps. Each day, I have 2 protein shakes and a greek triple 0 yogurt. The 1st shake is bariatric advantage vanilla and has 25 g protein, 2 g fat, 4 g Carb and 150 calories. I make it with almond milk, which adds 30 calories and 3 g fat and 1 g carb. My second shake is Premier, ready made, and it has 160 calories, 1 g carb, 3 g fat and 30 g protein. The yogurt has 120 calories, 0 fat, 9 carbs and 15 g protein. Because I was really feeling hungry, I tried adding 1/2 tbs of peanut butter to a shake, adding 2 carbs, 4 g fat, and 2 proteins and 45 calories. I've also just started adding 1/4 cup low fat cottage cheese, which is 70 calories, 1 gram of fat, 5 carb, and 7 protein. So that is a net total of 575 claories, 79 protein, and 13 gram fat, 22 carbs. Up until yesterday, when I increased my exercise, I was walking 1.5 miles on the treadmill, plus cleaning/cooking for 5 kids. Does this sound like the right amount of everything? Should I just keep doing what I'm doing?

Poll: Best Ways to Sneak in Protein Early on
XYZXYZXYZ1955 replied to junesleever's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My understanding was that more than 30 grams of protein per serving is kind of wasted, as you can't absorb it. However, especially early on in the process, protein shakes seem to be the most popular way to keep the protein up, with protein foods when you get to that stage . . . Greek yogurt is a good choice as long as the sugar/carbs aren't high (e.g., see this site for a breakdown of the protein and carbs/sugars in various yogurts: http://www.eatthis.com/best-yogurts-for-weight-loss) Good luck! -

Why is this so hard?!?
Shesacleverone replied to Shesacleverone's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm totally jealous! I'm on clear liquids for the first 12 days, 14 days of full liquids, then 14 days puréed foods! Though, for better or for worse, at the 7 day mark I decided to start adding full liquids to my diet. The materials from the program say 7 days clear liquids, But my surgery couldn't do my follow up until day 12...so, there you have it. I decided to add a "runny" tomato soup and such to my diet for the extra 5 days. When I see my surgeon, I'll start adding Greek yogurts and such. As far as protein shakes...I honestly don't know what I hate more right now, chicken broth or protein shakes. I finally broke down and bought Isopure Zero Carb RTD (ready-to-drink). I'm not a fan of sweets, but if have found these to be pretty good. I pour about 4 oz at a time and I have it on ice...which I had to wait until the spasms stopped before I did ice, btw. It takes me all day, but I get 40g of protein that way. For my other 20...I add a packet of Knox Gelatine (8g/pkt) to every cup of soup, and I drink a small glass of milk (I don't like milk either, but it's better than a protein shake!) Tripe soup sounds divine!!!!! Looking forward to having more variety! -
I have to eat with my vitamins otherwise I get nauseous. Eating every 3 hours has turned out to be very helpful for me. If I do feel hunger, I know my next meal is very soon. Here's what I started eating yesterday: 8am Breakfast: egg whites and 2 ultrathin slices of cheese 11am Snack 1 - yogurt 2pm Lunch: 4oz LF cottage cheese, 2oz apple sauce 5pm - Dinner: 3oz chicken. I made a small amount of potatoes but I couldn't eat them 8pm - Snack 2 - 4oz Halo top ice cream

I sent an email to a new nutritionist this am. Unfortunately, they are out until Monday. I am not yet cleared for raw veggies. And I'm not sure if its too soon for turkey bacon. Today, I had a greek yogurt for breakfast, some cheddar cheese as a snack and I am currently making chili. I KNOW I'm not getting in enough protein, I'm hoping a new nut can help me with that. I can't wait to be allowed salad and nuts! Thank you for your advice! I have also been drinking Fairlife milk for protein. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I would add a couple of small snacks like 3 TBSP. of yogurt or cottage cheese.

I'm a tad confused about the puréed diet and would appreciate any advice. My diet calls for 3 oz meals 3 times a day. Ok, this leaves me feeling hungry, weak, and lethargic. My NUT's solution was to just keep it going (so disappointed in her 'advice.'). NF Greek yogurt, tomatoe and split pea soup, and applesauce were items that I was able to eat when on my full liquid diet. So my question is this: Can I still have those aforementioned full liquid items in addition to my 3oz/3 times a day?

Surgery Scheduled for July, Anyone else?
kitmouse replied to surviving5's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went for my final nutritional visit on Thursday. I didn't lose anything (no gain either--my weight was exactly the same) and my surgeon told me I was "really behind" and needed to "step up". Huh? Behind WHAT? There's no weight loss minimum for insurance, and even if there were like 10% I'm at 8% already, so...? If I could lose weight easily I wouldn't be seeking surgery! I commented on the fact that I've been super hungry this month, and she told me I should only be eating when I have physical signs of low blood sugar--shakiness, headache, fogginess. Everything else is just grehlin driving head hunger and not a valid reason to eat I always thought "head hunger" was emotional eating and cravings, so apparently I've been eating according to the wrong cues my ENTIRE life?? I'm supposed to go in for weekly weigh ins to get "back on track". It feels punitive. But anyway. So I went home kinda irritated and annoyed. About an hour after I got home her secretary called to say that my surgery is tentatively scheduled for July 27 (pending insurance approval)! Whhhaaaaaat??? Five weeks! OMG! I paid really close attention today and noted how I felt every half hour. I didn't let myself eat until I had physical signs I needed to, so...I didn't eat all day. I had water, of course. I had my vitamins. But I was super busy at work, at times I had 3 patients working and one waiting to be called back, so I discounted "tired" as a sign of low blood sugar. And I just never got any other signs. Then driving home I was feeling really tired--after a ten hour day, during an hour-long 40-mile commute. When I got home I took my knitting and sat on the couch to watch some tv. I decided that the foggy sleepiness was at least partly low blood sugar and tried to eat a triple zero Greek yogurt (fat free sugar free). Couldn't get past the aftertaste. Gag! Then I had a spoonful of peanut butter, and went to bed. So yesterday ALL I had all day was a spoonful of yogurt, and a spoonful of peanut butter. And 3 liters of water with crystal light. And my vitamins. So I'm 5 weeks away from surgery, apparently I have been following the wrong hunger cues all my life, and I have no idea when it's appropriate to eat. I don't have enough time to learn and practice! I'm really feeling scared right now. Can I really do this? Is surgery a mistake? If I can learn to only eat when I've got low blood sugar do I NEED surgery? Am I really not supposed to eat when ghrelin tells me I'm hungry? Isn't that why we HAVE ghrelin??? I'm so confused. -
I mix my fruit with yogurt. And I'm not as strict with carbs as many are. Berries are high fiber and most are low glycemic.

Why is today so tough?!?
mama3beartn replied to chamilton0323's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I too am almost one week through, but mines a three week liquid, so two more weeks to go. I had a real bad day yesterday. Stomach cramped and burned all day. I really drank up the broth and had a Oikos triple zero yogurt which is thick and filling. The warmth from the broth and the thick yogurt really helped. Like Dale said above. Just get through today. Today has been pretty easy so far. My biggest challenge has been having to cook dinner and not get to eat. I planned menus my kids can make (their 14 - 21) , so i don't have to be in the kitchen much and plan crock pot meals I don't have to worry about either so much. this helps a lot. Out of site, out of mind... keep busy and the time will fly. Blessing on your journey.
