Ok, so I forgot to pack milk the other day. I went to Starbucks and ordered a short FF steamed milk with sugar free vanilla flavoring. I mixed it with Unjury chocolate splendor. It was so good, I almost felt guilty. The pre op diet shouldn't be this easy! Also, I mixed the strawberry sorbet with Fage fat free plain yogurt. It was really really good as well. I do t usually like chocolate or strawberry protein shakes, so I was surprised by these. Glad I bought the sample pack. Also, I tried the steamed milk with syntrax nectar choc truffle and that was really good too. Hope I still like these after.

To eat or not to eat! LOL!
JamieLogical replied to Nikki Monroe's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I add granola or kashi Cereal to my greek yogurt on the days I work out, since it's my last snack before my workouts and the extra carbs help fuel me. But I just buy those separate, measure them out into little containers, and add them when I eat my yogurt. I agree that the added texture is really nice, plus it's a little more filling, since there are some solids in there. -
Help! STARVING on pre-op diet!
BostonPA replied to BostonPA's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I do feel guilty! But I'm back on the wagon today. I'm using Carnation Instant Breakfast and I add a scoop of whey Protein powder. It's actually delicious! I think I had not been drinking enough of them, though, so I was so hungry! Two days will be no problem! It is hard, but you can totally do it! Just be really mindful, and get out of the house as much as you can to distract yourself! That is exactly what I am looking forward to! I can have fat-free yogurt and fat-free cottage cheese. I add a teaspoon of sugar-free fruit preserve to the cottage cheese to make it a bit more palatable. -
my NUT said to get 60-80 grams of protein a day, it's hard, especially on this liquid diet. liquid protein drinks have saved me (boost glucose). You can also add a little non flavored protein to your yogurt and soup. Protein keeps you from getting hungry so late at night.

why do i want to eat....and eat at night?
Aries replied to pottergirl's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I'm in your boat! Pre-sleeve: Breakfast- large cup of coffee lunch (if any)- salad or wrap But when I got home, all hell breaks loose. I would make chicken alfredo, steaks, mac and cheese, etc. Then, maybe a couple of hours later, I would have leftovers. This lasted maybe until 11pm. I could not stop shoveling food into my mouth. It was unattractive and borderline ridiculous. Fast forward to April 1st - the day I got sleeved. Everything seemed to be going great for the first two months maybe. Lately, I've found myself going up to the fridge, opening it, and looking inside, thinking maybe something yummy will catch my eye so I can devour it. Not good. Last week I emptied the whole thing out. I threw away everything that could potentially trigger a food fest. All i have in there is 1% milk, cheese sticks, greek yogurt, grapes, sugar free iced tea, cold cuts, and grapes. The grapes are there as a treat since they do have a lot of natural sugar. I find that even if I do go up to the fridge and "hunt" for something eat, I dont find anything that I want. Nothing tastes as good as skinny (or healthy) feels -
Not losing a great deal of weight on the pre-op diet
Bufflehead replied to C2CFOREVER's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Why cheese? If you are going to eat dairy, IMO yogurt is a healthier choice. And why fruit instead of green veggies? Green veggies are much lower carb. All that said, losing 1 kg in a week is great IMO. Does your bariatric team have a specific goal that you must meet? It sounds like it, from your post, but personally I think expecting more than 1 kg/week is a high and kind of cruel standard. -
I had the Gastric Sleeve procedure done almost a month ago. I've had no issues with the Full Liquid Diet stage, but when it came to transitioning to purees, it felt as though my stomach wasn't happy. It was suggested that it could have been the foods I was eating (too acidic, diary, etc) or that they weren't pureed enough. Other suggestions were that I wasn't eating slow enough. But sometimes, as soon as I took one bite my stomach would immediately start gurgling or I'd get the instant pain of acid reflux/heartburn. I am supposed to start "Soft Solids" on Saturday, but I fear with the trouble I faced with the purees...that I might need an extra week. I've had no issues with eating yogurt, jello, pudding, or soup (which is what I've tried to stick with since I know how my body will react). But with anything else I've tried, it is either the immediate gurgling or acid reflux/heartburn feeling. Is this something commonly experienced or something I should inform my doctor about? Kay_G_B

Andrew0929, Good for you for nipping the regain in the bud! I doubt if the cereal per se is actually causing the weight gain if you’re truly staying within your calorie goals, but I agree with some of the others that maybe it is an unhealthy habit if you’re depending on it and it’s driving you to make other unhealthy decisions. I love some of these ideas! As you think of some more, I’d also try to think about why the cereal is so attractive. Part of it may be the sweetness and crunch, but part of it may just be its convenience. It’s there, and it’s ready to eat. Maybe if you make sure that it’s not there, and that other, healthier, Snacks are ready to eat, you’ll go for the healthier snacks without another thought. Maybe the trick is to have ready to eat foods on hand, so some ideas are carrot sticks and other cut veggies, peeled oranges, washed grapes and other fruit, hard-boiled eggs, yogurt, and other prepared foods. I also like seaweed snacks for a low-calorie crunch.

How much can you eat 4+ years post-op?
catwoman7 replied to middlet's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had RNY but it's probably similar. I don't go by ounces anymore - I just know that it takes about 1600 calories to maintain my current body weight, so I try to stay around there (or under if I want to lose a few pounds). And the above person is right - the number of oz depends on the food. I can easily eat 8 oz of yogurt. But a piece of meat? No way. Maybe 2 or 3 oz. btw - no one would be able to tell now that I've had weight loss surgery. They'd just assume I'm a "light eater", just like lots of my female friends are who've never had a weight problem. I'll go to a restaurant and order a salad or an appetizer. Or I'll get an entree and eat half of it (and box up the rest to take home). -
First day of pureed food
Airstream88 replied to newbie123's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Dumping occurs when you eat something with too much sugar or too much fat. You would have had much more severe symptoms such as racing heartbeat, sweating, diarrhea, etc. When I first started eating pureed and then soft foods, some foods would cause me to feel uncomfortable. Sometimes it happens if something isn't moist enough. When I started real food, chicken felt very uncomfortable and I learned to eat it with salsa, hummus or guacamole to moisten it up. I really didn't do well on the pureed phase. I don't like refried beans and couldn't stand the sight of pureed meat. I stuck to yogurt, shakes, unsweetened applesauce and SF pudding mixed with protein powder for the most part. Once on soft foods I did much better. -
January 2013 Bandsters Unite
JhonnieB replied to Onamissionn2013's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
On day 5 of my preop diet, I'm feeling sooooo much better!! I feel like I'm getting use to this a little bit to much.LOL Today so far I've had ... Breakfast-Protien Shake w/ yogurt Lunch-Salad with ff ranch Mid day snack-Applesause Dinner(will be)-Soup and LOTS of water!! How is everyone doing on their preop diets? -
I was sleeved 11/15 in NJ. I had no nauseau or pain, sore of course, and the gas/reflux was pretty bad (get those Gas X strips!) but that was because they fixed a hiatal hernial. I'm doing really well, so far down about 11 lbs per my scale. I'm eating protein shakes, sf jello & pudding, plain/vanilla yogurt (non fat), I can have milk, oatmeal, pureed veggies, mashed potatos, broth or pureed soup, SF Ice pops, crystal light, tea, water, gatorade etc. The yogurt cup or jello/pudding cup is about a serving for me per meal. I'm doing fine, don't feel overly hungry, my body tells me when I need to eat and I'm listening to it. Supposed to get about 45-60 oz of liquid plus 70-85 g of protein per day.. I feel like all I do is eat and drink trying to get it all in! After 3 weeks of soft/puree foods, then I will move to more of a solid. I'm glad I did it, and I was a nervous wreck! Good luck to everyone having their surgery this week and in the coming weeks. It truly does get better every day.

I'm on the soft food stage. I have tried to be brave and eat actual food but it ends up coming right back up it's such a horrible I seriously don't know what to eat. I do eat mozzarella string cheese, Greek yogurts, my Protein shakes, mandarins. I tried to eat a kids meal subway of tuna and yeah that came right back up, the same happens with boiled eggs, veggie omelette, tilapia, chicken sandwich. I get so discouraged and frustrated, my sleeve doesn't seem to like anything anymore Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

1st Week Post Op Diet Dilemma
bluegudren replied to N2DONNAT123's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I made several home made soups post op, and used my magic bullet to purée. It worked out fine. I even took meaty tomato sauce and puréed it. It was delish. I was so sick of sweet protein shakes! You can also drink Kefer probiotic yogurt drinks. Those are very filling. Making home made soup is the way to go. It gives you something to do as well as some good standing and moving time. -

August Sleevers...how are you doing? Any friends near Monterey?
yvonne1208 replied to MontereyMom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on the 15th and was home on the 17th. So far so good. I've been able to finish my protein get my water in and finish my yogurts and cream soups. I don't feel tired, my only complaint is the feeling of heartburn after everything that I eat or drink. The doctor said it was normal and it would pass. I'm also constantly hungry. I don't know if its real hungar or head hungar. Still trying to figure that out. Either way I satisfy that with water or a sugar free popsicle. My incisions are almost healed. No pain with bending or lifting. Cant wait to go back to work soon! -
I get that stuck feeling often. This a.m. took an excedrin just one and it feels stuck. I know it's not but the pressure is there a little. Yesterday was my 45th wedding anniversary and we went out to dinner...I couldn't get anything down had to slime what I had already tried. But I had this problem with breakfast too. I can go several days in a row no problems and some days can't keep down the same foods I ate the day before. It happens maybe twice a week or so. But I sent the salmon back yesterday twice then finally order the parmesain crusted tilapia and when I got home was able to eat half of it. Then had a little strawberry frozen yogurt almost got that pressure feeling with that. Don't know what's going on. Need to maybe slow down even more.

My Sleeve Journey (sleeved 12/28)
bleonhardt replied to MamaRhea's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Recovery is slow I have to say. But first week I was unable to even keep Water down so I think I am a bit behind. They put a stent in my stomach to untwist it and I have surgery Jan 10th to remove it! I have lost 41 lbs since the surgery. I can tolerate all liquids but have zero hunger now so food is tough to get down. I can tolerate yogurt, applesauce, pudding but not much beyond that yet! How are you doing? If you private message me I would love to share my contact details if you want a friend in the area that is going through the same thing! My name is Brandee but can not figure out how to add my picture! Lol Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App -
16 Mos Out...disappointed
LindaS replied to tntransplant06's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
You and your husband look great! You've done so well! Be sure to take time to realize how much you have accomplished. My only question is how are you doing on drinking your Water? Are you getting in at least 64 ounces a day? It can help you feel full, and your body needs the water/fluid to lose weight. I started off losing quickly, but I am now a slow loser (9 pounds lost since February), but I am still losing. I find that I need to constantly reevaluate my eating choices. I have recently been eating a lot of Oikos Greek yogurt, and then I read a thread on here about the yogurt and someone mentioned the sugar content. I realized I hadn't even looked at the sugar content on the label. It was a reminder to myself that I needed to make sure I wasn't eating anything with more than 6 grams of sugar in a serving. I will have to go back to a different flavor of Greek yogurt. Looking back, I realized that I made the choice to buy the Oikos brand not based on the food label but based on the price. It was on sale for $1 per container (5.3 ounces), so I grabbed it. This experience made me reevaluate what I was doing, and I ended up losing a couple of pounds. I realized I needed to stay aware of what I was eating and doing even when I think I know. -
5 days to go. Should I cheat?
Beachsprite replied to John Michaels's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Most will say don't and you shouldn't but if u do my dietician said reach for Protein. So how about a piece or two of dry tandoori chicken with a little yogurt dip? I forgot to add cheating once can lead to more cheating. Which given you are very close now could be a very bad thing. -
I can see so many possibilities of tweaking it to make it have more Protein easily. White pizza - combine greek yogurt or ricotta with garlic, cheese and an egg and spread it over the crust. Add chicken and broccoli as toppings....for example. Or just make it a meatza pizza. I'm sooo gonna experiment with this recipe.

Cut carbs, now I can't sleep?
Manhattan Mom of Two replied to Caribear's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi there, I got sleeved in Manhattan on 8/5. Exactly 3 weeks ago. I have recovered so quickly, it is almost ridiculous. I have been able to eat everything, love the sensation of getting full and leaving food in my plate. This had never happened before in my entire life. But I am having 2 major issues, number one is insomnia (despite keeping active during the day--I go for long walks or cycle in the afternoons), My insomnia leads to late night eating. I have eaten nuts and yogurt, feeling very guilty. As a result my weight loss has slowed down. I have only lost 10 lb since my surgery (I'm 5.8" and weighed 258.5 on day of surgery. BMI 38). I had an appointment with my surgeon 2 days ago. She said my weight loss was on target and there was nothing to worry about. She advised me to eat 4 smaller meals to make room for my late night cravings. But she did advise me to seek help for my sleep issues with my primary care physician. My second issue is that Soup and pureed foods, like pureed bananas do not make me full. Few nights ago I had 14 oz of lentil soup and was still hungry. I had another 6 oz afterwards. So total of 20 oz of soup! My surgeon said this was most unusual and that I should stick to solid Proteins instead as they DO infact make me feel really full. She also advised me to have my Protein shake late at night. Love to have your feedback! -
I'm feeling the overfill today...ate quick oats, to church, grocery, ate some frozen yogurt, then a few chips then a1/2 bowl of Cereal then 2 eggs scrambled with chopped hotdog and cheese finally feeling satisfied. All went down okay but think I need my 1st fill. But won't eat again until dinner and maybe only a smoothie. Sounds too much huh?

Have your tastes changed after surgery? I didn't gain my weight from sweets and can't stand all those flavored protein drinks, bought some unflavored and put it in some soup. It was so gritty. I am going to try some of the vanilla protein in some super tart plain Greek yogurt to see if they will balance each other out.
