HOW can u possibly get 60+grams of Protein without supplements??
RickM replied to Sunny702's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
A typical day for me in the middle to end of the second month (and actually not much different today) is: Breakfast - 3 turkey sausage links (15g) or strips of turkey bacon (18g) AM Snack - 1/2 cup greek yogurt with raspberries and almonds (13g) lunch - salad including about 2 oz leftover meat (tri tip, filet, chicken, etc) and 10g lite cheese (20g) dinner - 3 oz light meat chicken w token veg (peppers, onions) w 1/2 oz lite mex cheese blend (must have been fajita night) (28g) Eve Snack - 1/2 cup hi pro SF pudding (ok, it has some Protein powder in it, and greek yogurt) (12 g) Total of 91g protein, 850 calories and two nominal servings of fruit/veg for that day, and coincidentally within the magical 40g carb limit that some impose upon themselves, though I don't control to carb count. I often do still have a Protein shake in the afternoon of heavier workouts, but that's more for workout recovery than meeting the protein bogey, but does mean that I can have a more veg intense dinner. -

Sam's Club has a few flavors of the DaVinci SF syrups, and they are only about $5.25 in Florida. I bought some of those pouring spouts you put on liquor bottles, and use that to pour. We also have a store called World Market (they are a chain - kind of like Pier 1 meets Trader Joes) and they carry Torani brand SF syrups in tons of different flavors. It's about $7 per bottle, but they do last a long time. We use them in coffee, milk, puddings, even oatmeal, cream of wheat and yogurt, but most importatnly in protein shakes. Caramel in a cappuccino shake makes it delicious. White chocolate in a vanilla shake makes a unique flavor.

Rice is one of those foods that seems to give a high percentage of banded people a problem. So it's not surprising that you had trouble with it getting stuck. If you try it again, take tiny bites and chew well, and if it STILL gets stuck, you may just have to write it out of your diet in the future. I eat no-fat, sugar-free yogurt for breakfast every morning and will sometimes have either an egg or a low-fat string cheese stick with it. Lunches are usually 1/2 cup chicken or tuna salad with crackers, and 1/2 cup of vegetables or fruit. Supper is usually my big meal with my husband. I'll have 3 oz of grilled chicken, grilled hamburger patties, baked fish or some other meat plus 1/2 cup of vegetables. I'm not a person who requires a lot of variety in my meals. Some things I try to keep on hand are low-fat cheese sticks, light yogurt, refried Beans, eggs, high-Fiber crackers, canned and frozen vegetables, bananas, apples, Peanut Butter, South Beach High Protein Cereal Bars, canned tuna and chicken in Water.

Week One behind me! Welcome , Week Two!
Rev Me Up! replied to time-4-change's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It seems that people have one or the other - either they have diarrhea or they don't poop for a week. Definitely, all the artificial sweeteners will do it to you. Good idea to move to more broth - it also has sodium which will help you retain a little Water. That sounds bad, but it is good if you are worried about dehydration. Once you get to mushies and you start eating yogurt and cottage cheese, you'll see it swing the other way. Glad to hear you are feeling better. The first month is tough, but the first 2 weeks are specifically hard. Physical and emotional changes are so intense in that time. Rest assured, you will feel more normal in a few weeks. Keep coming back to the board, we're all here for you! Lara -
At work, forgot lunch...where to go???
emjay replied to emsbugbug's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
McDonald's Yogurt Parfait - 160 calories of yum. Arby's roast beef (bun or no bun). KFC roasted chicken. Wendy's hamburgers seem to go down pretty well - juicy/moist. Best advice though is keep a few things at work in case of days like this (easy to say now huh!) Things that are shelf stable - like a fruit/nut mix (can keep you filled for hours), canned mandarin oranges, I've also seen some shelf-stable packaged meals (Hormel? - not sure the brand) that might work in a pinch. Granola is always good - although can be high in calories like the fruit/nut mix. A little goes a long way. -
Any type of fish, chicken breast with fat free gravy, cream of mushroom soup or low sugar BBQ sauce, cottage cheese, yogurt, cooked carrots, ground beef with fat free beef gravy & mushrooms.

Freedom&Bliss replied to smb123's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

I’m stilll doing protein shakes, yogurts and some Bariatric broths to be sure I get all my protein. I can still only eat a small amount in a sitting!! Bit feeling good 💪🏼💪🏼 -
Pre-op diet — am I missing something?
Creekimp13 replied to Pink nova's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
I had just shakes for two weeks...with one yogurt or oatmeal per day......and sugar free clear liquids. Some people get one protein/nonstarchy veggie meal per day. Your diet sounds like a bear. I wish I could say something really encouraging here....but the pre-op diet was hell on Earth for me. Way worse than the actual surgery or recovery for me. Experiences differ...but yeah...sounds like you're up against a very strict, very long version. Your doctor sounds Sadistic. If you cheat (don't cheat!)....but if you do....DO NOT eat carbs. The whole point of the diet is to shrink your liver by being very carb restricted. If you cheat, cheat with protein or non starchy veggies. Best idea... don't cheat. Take it a day at a time. And hang in there! Best wishes. -
Hi I’m on day 2 of this liquid diet and I have 3 weeks to go! My surgery date is May 28th. I already had a break down and I have been so moody. I’m just confused because from all the forums that I have read, people are allowed to eat yogurt, sugar free popsicles and jello and some even get to have some time of “real meal”. I’m only allowed 2 cups of broccoli, green pepper, celery, lettuce or cucumber and that’s all for the day (plus my 4 optifast shakes) I have two young boys and I can barely keep up with them with this lack of energy. any suggestions? I’m not allowed broths because the nurse said sodium would hinder weight loss but I feel like I’m not allowed to eat anything. Anyone on the same diet as me? Help? Thanks for reading my vent

Not eating soft foods yet! Exhausted and can’t get all protein in
Nikki_Nik87 replied to amartinez8853's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Totally not a troll... In fact, why would someone lie about what something like that?? The day I left the hospital I was on Full Liquids (clear only in hosp.) Day 8 I went to soft foods. I just started off with the softest things like yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. Then worked my way up to ground meats. I have not once had a bad reaction to anything. I totally agree with @sillykitty, everyone's healing process is different. What works for me may not work for you. Doesn't mean our surgeons don't know what they're doing. My surgeon has a very high success rate so I doubt he'd tell me to do anything that would negatively effect me. -
Not eating soft foods yet! Exhausted and can’t get all protein in
MermaidInAZ replied to amartinez8853's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
The protein shakes do get old the first week, but they do help. Each doctor is different in their post-op instructions so I'm not sure how long you have to be on liquids. I know when I started with soft foods, cottage cheese and high-protein yogurt helped me get my protein. Check the protein shake cook book at bariatricfoodie.com, too. All the best to you! -

I have the same problems expect my fill has been 2 weeks ago. I only have 3.5 ccs in 10cc band. I only got .5cc this last time. I am sticking to yogurt and protien bars as I have no problem with them. -
Eating On The Move
Liberated Sleeve replied to bellabbr's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Deli meats are a good idea and you can keep them in the refrigerator. Cottage cheese with salsa? Tuna in the air tight bags in water and buy a small deal of light mayo. Pork rinds are good crunchy foods to eat with anything and they have no carbs. Greek yogurts. Hope these help somewhat. -
Track your intake on myfitnesspal.com it has the nutritional values including Protein for most foods. I added Protein Bars when I let go of one shake a day down from two. Atkins has wonderful protein bars !! Power crunch bars are great too, they have them at Trader Joe's and Vitamin Shoppe or on-line. Rite Aid may have them too. Typical servings of fish/meat/chicken (3 oz) have about 21-25 grams of protein by the way...so if you are eating all your protein with foods - this will give you an idea of what the protein values are for typical protein. Dairy foods are also high in protein like cheese, cottage cheese, some yogurt. Good luck., just make sure you are getting your protein. Your body will take it from your lean body tissue if you don't.

low carb yougrt with a lot of protein?
michpell39 replied to latinamom's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Low fat greek yogurt is so good, we actually use it for just about anything in salad dressings instead of sour cream ext -
Yes I do have foam so I let it sit for a while until the foam dissipates. I use a wonderful stainless steel Camelback cup that will keep something cold ALL day- it is wonderful They have them at REI- there are several kinds of insulated but the one for all day ($30 but REI is 25% off this week) is the one. Keeping the Protein drinks cold is so important for me being able to finish them. Yes- the greek yogurt is so awesome for cutting the sicky sweet flavor and making it more tolerable. It is great in soup too- like sour cream- and adds protein,

Feel like I just ate a thanksgiving feast
apple-saucy posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel soooooo full like I just pigged out at thankgiving. I just ate my first "full" meal since being sleeved holy cow it was awesome but I was freaking out about how good and satisfied I feel/felt so I had to go punch it into Spark people. LOL I ate a whopping 175 calories for dinner. LOL 2 ounces of apricot mustard glazed chicken, 1/4 cup of green Beans, 1/2 of a very small potato and maybe 2 tablespoons of greek yogurt that I made into a dip for my chicken and potato. it took me about 30 minutes to eat. It still seems like a lot written out because it's more than what I've been eating. I ate all 4 food groups in one meal! -

1 week post op! Woot woot!/ anyone from the kc area?
stephanie.ahring0505 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So here I am, I week post op... Well, now 1 week 1 day. I feel great!! I'm so bored at home and I miss all the lovely ladies and doctors I work with. But, I also know my body needed this time to recover and get used to my new eating habits. eggs aren't tasting so great to me right now.. I'll try them again in a couple weeks. SF Jello is still too sweet for me, so I've been doing yogurt, pudding, and Popsicles. I found these delicious popsicles that are made from real fruit and have no added sugar. They are tasty. So far, including pre-op diet for two weeks I'm down 31 lbs!! THIRTY-ONE lbs!!! It is such a great feeling! My goal is to get down 120. I'm 1/6+ of the way there!! I can't believe it! I told my boyfriend of 8 years that once I get to my goal weight I want to get married and have more babies since I will know how to eat at that time. Our 6 year old has already been asking for a baby brother or sister. Ha. I just tell him I'm trying to lose weight before that. Luckily he has plenty of aunts and uncles that have or are having babies in the semi near future. I can't wait to add things into my diet like mashed potatoes and bananas and Peanut Butter. Even tortilla shells. I'm interested how my stomach will handle those. Have any of you had problems with very many foods on the mushy/puréed foods? Sorry for my rambling, but I can't sleep right now. I took a late nap with my niece after doing some light housework. Any help or guidance is much appreciated! -

Going Back To Work...what To Take For Lunch?
jennyblue111 replied to lilly11781's topic in Food and Nutrition
I'm going back to work tomorrow. Im a hairdresser, & im gonna try to work 4hrs for 4 days this week. I'm so nervous about it, I'm sticking to shakes while there, & try my newer 'mushy foods' list @ home, in case it doesn't agree. I've tried instant mashed potatoes w/ garlic, salt, & pepper, & I Cant Believe It's Nor Butter. Far free refried beans w/a dollop of avacado & fat free sour cream. Sweet potato, laughing cow cheese & crackers. Yogurt & almond butter. Sugar free applesauce. Protein powder in sugar. Pureeing thicker soups. Hummus. Good luck! -
Try Greek yogurt with cocoa powder and some kind of extract ( I like coconut). Blend and freeze for just a little bit.
