What Are U Eating 3-4 Months Out
gettinMeBack replied to sexy_sleevegirl's topic in Food and Nutrition
I have been eating alot of chicken and veggies, shrimp or steak and veggies. Lite and fit Greek yogurt, shakes and smoothies. I do like the tortilla pizza idea so I think I'll try that for lunch today wit some chicken and cheese -
Try adding sucralose (Splenda) and cinnamon to taste. Delicious! Are you familiar with EZ-Sweetz? It's liquid sucralose and mixes wonderfully with yogurt and everything else. It may seem kind of pricey for a small amount but a little of that stuff goes a really long way. I love it.

I've never worried about calcium. I get plenty of calcium through food (yogurt, cottage cheese, cheese, etc)

Week after surgery and I'm struggling
Bonines replied to Bonines's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I just got the caramel flavor premier protein and i love it. I'll check out the banana. I was hesitant to buy it but I'll take your recommendation. Thanks! I'm in puree phase now and about to go to soft solids but still need to get that protein in. I've been relying on greek yogurt as well so that's been a big help. -

Post-OP Day 13: Rode my bike one hour in the morning. Walked one hour in the evening. Weight loss so far 25 pounds and this includes the 2 week Pre_OP diet. 14 days pre-diet + 13 days post-Op = 27 days and 25 pounds. I am drinking 3 Protein shakes per day (plus) and eating mainly, boiled eggs, canned herring, sardines or yellow tuna (all in soybean oil) and yogurt. I am also sipping up to 1 gallon of Water each day. sometimes I put a banana in the Protein Shakes. Protein shakes are mostly prepackaged EAS AdvantEdge 17gram Protein drinks (Choc-Van-Strawberry), but also am using EAS 100% whey Protein powder (23 grams) and Body Fortress 100% Whey Protein (46grams) all from Wal-mart shelves. I mix the powders with 1% regular milk or Soy milk and chipped ice in the blender and it usually makes 2 large glasses per serving. I take 2 centrums, 4 250mcg B12, and extra Calcium (liquid or capsules) I am never really hungry and I have no loss of energy.

What Is The Time Frame Of Gastric Sleeve Growth Again?
feedyoureye replied to june13sleever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Check out netrition.com. They have a number of high protein, low carb foods to grab. I also find protein bars can be a big help getting in the protein. I use balance bars right now because they taste good and are vegetarian. There are many more to choose from as well. I have found veggie pepperoni and jerky.. of course there are lots of meat choices there too for on the go. Cheese sticks, cottage cheese or greek yogurt, cans of split pea or bean soup...hard boiled eggs....peanut butter and carrot slices... I like the Trader Joes almond/flax seed butter.... -
Post Op Diet Journal - Phase 1
Candle replied to mylapspirit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have to do liquids for 2 weeks. I have a follow up appointment on 9/10/07 and I'm assuming at that point I will get the go-ahead to start mushies. Then I have to do mushies for 3 weeks. Then I can switch to more solid food - nothing too crazy though - for 1 week. That should put me at 6 weeks. If I do ok after a week of "solids" I can get my first fill. My doc said baby food was ok but sometimes the carbs and calories tend to be high. That's funny you bought some stiff today because I bought some stuff for mushies today too - lol! I'm READY!! I bought some tuna, canned chicken, and refried beans. We went to Walmart so I grabbed a few non-perishables. The biggest thing I have been craving is egg salad and I'm not even a big egg fan - lol! Also cottage cheese!! PS. I am allowed pudding - the kind you make at home with a little extra milk to thin it and yogurt with no fruit chunks in it. So far, so good. -

Greek yogurt-dumping syndrome
hepktty replied to TallGirl300's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've spent hrs trying to find a greek yogurt that has less than 8gm of sugar. Everyone has been talking about eating greek yogurt but until today I've only found one. My nut. Warned me about anything higher than six gm making me sick so I have stayed away. So glad I found one though! -

6 weeks out - how many calories are appropriate?
loridee11 replied to Fat2FabMyWay's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
We have similar stats and surgery around the same time. I don't have much hunger, but I had a really easy recovery (yay!) and don't seem to have any food aversions or challenges with eating and drinking which means I've been able to push myself to meet my protein and fluid goals from early on. That means even though I'm limiting my meals to 3-4 oz lean protein (usually with light mayo or greek yogurt because I am still on soft foods, or I eat a lot of eggs) and then if I am still hungry some soft cooked veggies, I get almost 800 calories a day. Part of that is because I'm still using protein shakes to supplement I am seeing my surgeon and NUT next week for my 6 week. My weight loss has been really slow the last 3 weeks and I'm hoping it's just a stall and they'll have some advice to pick it back up. -

As for recipes that are easy, I'm with the deli meats, cheeses. Yogurts, things you don't have to cook. Good luck. -
10 Weeks Post VSG - Struggling - Eating more - Confession.
JamieLogical replied to gabrielle2014's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Definitely increasing your protein and fluids will help with energy. You can also probably up you calorie intake a bit. I found that in order to really sustain my workouts, I needed to be right at or a bit above 1000 a day. I also started adding a little Kashi cereal (1/4 of a serving) to my greek yogurt in the afternoons, because I found that having a little bit of carbs pre-workout really helped me get through. Then I would have a high protein dinner shortly after my workouts. I always work out in between when I get home from work and dinner. I find that's the best time for me to work out, because instead of changing out of my work clothes and into my house clothes (pajamas basically) I would change straight into my workout clothes. Once my pajamas are on, I know working out is NOT gonna happen, so by changing into my workout clothes right after work, it forces me to go ahead and do my workout! -
Which proteins work best?
Astrasmom replied to amie-b's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What HAS been working for me is white chicken in Water (Canned) with a little olive oil mayo, tuna w/ mayo, Ricotta cheese, vanilla Yogurt (Fat Free), All natural Peanut Butter, Fish (salmon, flounder..), and of course my Elite whey Protien Isolate shakes 2 times a day. Make sure you aren't drinking while you eat either. The longer you keep the food in the pouch the longer you won't feel hungry. -

UGH So today was my best friend's birthday and I ate more than I have since surgery 3/27/12... the most I have eaten in a day since then was probably about 1500 calories UNTIL TODAY. I have been feeling super hungry because I was supposed to get my first fill last week but because my port site incision became infected, they put me on antibiotics and pushed my fill back to this thursday. I am a currently a nanny saving for graduate school and just recently started waitressing again part time... I worked a 7 hour shift on Saturday and a 7 and a half hour shift on Sunday and was exhausted and famished... I checked 3 different calorie calculators and they all said that I burn about 3,330 calories in a 7 hour waitressing shift even going at a slow pace! I knew this must be close to true because I got on the scale today and am 4 pounds down from last tuesday SO I figured, what the hell, I'll indulge with my best friend for her birthday! It just got out of control... I ate yogurt in the morning, 2 medium blueberry pancakes with sugar free syrup for lunch, two HUGE frozen margaritas in the afternoon as well as chips and queso, a huge piece of birthday cake, AND spaghetti with Aurora sauce for dinner. I feel absolutely disgusted with myself and am just lucky I didn't get sick (probably because I have not had a fill yet). I attempted to tally it all up and I probably consumed about 3200 calories today which is atrocious. I am overwhelmed with guilt and the fact that I could actually fit that in my body today without throwing up, but I feel super sick and just icky and bloated over all. SIGH. I know I will get back on track tomorrow no problem and that I am getting a fill on Thursday but I just feel so emotionally and physically awful... eating like that is what got me here in the first place and I have lost 35 pounds since surgery 3/27/12 and never plan on going back! Why did I do that to myself today?!

Why I am so hungry all the time.
GreenTealael replied to newmeinfla's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
What soft foods are you eating? Yogurts, cottage cheese, jello, soup, pudding? Chicken salad, tuna salad, flaked fish, tofu, hummus, refried beans? Some things "slide" right through you leaving you hungry quickly, (if you see the term sliders thrown around thats whats being referring to) Even in the soft stage you have to try to eat denser protein to stay fuller longer, this will be the balancing act of your journey I combat my "hunger" (some times its not) with warm soothing drinks until the next scheduled meal. BTW You can do this !!! -

At 3 Weeks Post Gastric Sleeve Surgery How Much Do You Used To Eat?
FishingNurse replied to Liliana Arleen's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
At that stage I was very swollen still and I was eating 2 tablespoons at a time for something like refried beans. I could do a little more of a thinner yogurt.
