Problems getting protein in my diet...
Sleevie WonderLand replied to Sleevie WonderLand's topic in Food and Nutrition
Mocha!!!! A mug warmer! That's genius! Greek yogurt - ewww...for me - barf city. I've tried it 3 times, and each time I felt like i was eating baby vomit. I can tolerate chili well too. I'm just sick of it. I've even had a chili omelette because they are probably the easiest foods for me to eat. lol (don't judge me, it tasted pretty good!) -
My safe foods (that I also enjoy) Homemade turkey meatballs Homemade chili w/beans Spicy re-fried Beans Spicy Hummus Baked beans Pea soup Tilapia Salmon Greek yogurt Cottage cheese w/low sugar fruit Natural Peanut Butter w/lentil crackers Broccoli w/cheddar Ham and swiss lunchables (I only eat half the crackers) Chowder - seafood, fish, or clam I found a recipe for 'Buffalo Balls' - turkey meatballs w/blue cheese crumbles cooked in buffalo sauce. They sound awesome (I love spicy food). I'll be trying them tonite for the game. If they sit well it'll be my substitute for hot wings. :-)

@@BellaLuce4 Thank you. I'm surprised how much I can actually get down. I had 20oz of coconut water, 4oz Of plain water and 4oz of isopure. Better than I thought it would be. I also had 1 tablespoon of Fage 2% plain yogurt mixed with another tablespoon of chobani banana Greek yogurt. It was delicious. I just ate really slow and I was able to get it all in. I'm not pushing it though. I'm just sipping water for the rest of the night!

8 Months Out..why Do I Keep...
Catracks replied to SicChl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I will be 8 months out on Sep. 11th and I'm pretty proud of my weight loss and goal is actually in sight. I've lost around what you have. It's getting harder and I stall more often and for longer periods, but the scale still goes down eventually. Good that you know what your problems are. GET THE JUNK food OUT OF THE HOUSE! If you get head hungry, drink a huge glass of Water and go for a walk, bike ride, swim, hike, throw a frizbee - what ever you like. Go shopping if that's your thing. Like Indymom said. Prepare healthy snack foods and always portion things out. NEVER eat out of the container. Cut up veggies dipped in hummus or a Greek yogurt dip? A small handful of nuts and dried berries? A piece of fruit with an oz. of cheese? Hey look! I'm one pound from being "overweight" as opposed to "obese!" I actually find that the more I am busy or exercising (I went kayaking last weekend) the less I feel light eating. Snacking comes from boredom. Hey look! I'm one more pound from being "overweight!" YAY! -
My Protein drinks are around 200 calories each so I don't drink them much any more. I'm on 750 calories so 3 Protein Drinks would preclude me from eating more than a slice of cheese. Too much protein is not the problem. Too many calories are. The goal is between 70 and 90 grams of protein a day. 3 protein drinks @ 200 calories: 600 calories 1 slice whole grain toast: 100 calories 1 TBS peanut butter: 100 calories 1 TBS jelly: 50 calories Oatmeal: 160 calories 1 Egg: 70 calories Just that much is 1,080 calories and a LOT of carbohydrates. At 3 weeks I was just starting full liquids (milk, yogurt, etc.) and getting 400-500 calories if I was lucky. Go to My Fitness Pal or Fitday and start logging in everything you eat. Also start measuring things either by weight or Fluid oz. depending on the food.

4 Week Post Operative Bliss. Learning To Love My Sleeve:)
Red597 replied to KinnymomX3's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes...this definitely helps me! I am just shy of 3 weeks out, and so tired of pudding and yogurt and soup and protein drinks, I can't see straight!! I know that there is light at the end of the full-liquid tunnel, but it really helps to hear it again. Thanks!! -
Will we have to low carb for ever?
Miss Mac replied to ladivaluz806's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Yes, but.....................I do eat carbs. but they are non-starchy carbs from non-starchy veggies and one serving of non-starchy fruit like berries. One slice of wheat bread is allowed on my plan, but at Breakfast, not dinner. My plan allows for about 150 carbs, but some of that is from two servings of milk or Greek Yogurt. I find that if I go over fifty carbs, I stall. Still, at 50 carbs, I can eat all of the green veggies and tomatoes I can stand. If I get the mindless nibbles, I will open a can of green Beans and pour them into a bowl. They do a lot less damage than chips. i take thick slices of cucumber and use them to hold bites of tuna salad instaed of using crackers. I have made adjustments, but it's not killing me. As a matter of fact, ditching starchy carbs has made me feel a lot better. So, my taste buds don't like it, Miss Tummy is the boss of me, now The hardest thing for me to give up is bananas, so I will cut them in thirds and have that 1/3 with breakfast, but not at bedtime. I don't like to sleep on carbs.- 46 replies

Help....a little long
ParrotheadCathy replied to nrmanning's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The first 3 days, I was on clear liquids. Then for another 7 on liquids that included, SF Jello, SF Popsicles, SF yogurt, chicken broth, beef broth, vegetable broth, protein shakes, water mixed with Crystal Light or K20 protein water. I was supposed to drink 3-4 protein shakes a day and everthing else was "at will". -
Day Six And I Am Having A Hard Time Getting In Protein..any Suggestions?
tmorgan813 commented on Vicki147's blog entry in Vicki147's Blog
GNC sells Lean Shake. It's 14oz and has 25 grams of protein. I really like it as it doesn't taste like protein. The only issue, is it can be expensive. But for me, who hates Whey, it's so worth it. Best of luck. Also I have a smoothy that I love with 25g of protein. 1 cup greek yogurt 1/2 cup soy milk (vanilla) 1/2 cup frozen blueberries 4-7 ice cubes. Splenda or sugar substitute to taste. I do 2-3. -
4 Days Post-Op Any Alternative to Protein Shakes
kim0079 replied to BeckyVSG0413's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Hey I got told I can have drinking yogurt and anything that goes through a straw. I hate the shakes makes me dry reach so I'm on the bars pre op and my dad made me heaps of soups and I froze them in tiny containers. Also brought a cheap magic bullet type machine at big w for bout $40 so I can make my own shakes with banana and skim milk. Dietitian recommended that :-) -

Problem with getting protein.
Rev Me Up! replied to jillw8's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I couldn't do the shakes or the Isopure - at all. I couldn't get them down. If you are eating eggs and cottage cheese, you should be fine. Add some yogurt if you can handle it, greek ogurt has the most protein, but is strong in flavor. Make some homemade chicken broth (boil a real chicken, don't use powder) that will have lots of good collagen in it. You can also try to stir a little bit of protein powder into your cottage cheese to give it a boost. Try drinking milk too. Stay hydrated and do the best you can--- Good luck! -
Help, I am Hungry!!
Darktowerdream replied to grandmap's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I do still buy certain thing’s although not often. Some people do find them handy for work lunches. The creamy chicken pasta is pretty good. I actually had it on purée just cooked very soft since it’s easy to chew to purée. I couldn’t tolerate normal purée foods. . I like their protein pancakes. I did try some of their protein chips. As I’m supposed to be doing more normal foods. I had half a small bag with two soft boiled eggs. As you advance you can get more creative with your work lunches. in the early stages try things like chia pudding I bought their protein mashed potato mix and I make that sometimes with a small veggie burger. Ie. Boca turky burger 2.5 oz 70 calories, 11 grams protein. I liked it with dr Praeger’s black bean chipotle pollock burger, 2.5 oz 90 calories 10 grams protein but my store stopped selling them. It took me longer than most to eat normal foods. I’m still eating fairly soft foods. my head is tired. But I’m sure there’s lots of ideas. Some people prepare their own meals fresh. I don’t have energy for it. I do a mix of buying a few things from BariatricPal, I buy things like veggie burgers, veggie sausage, if they come in small portion right calories, Egglands Best eggs, plain Greek yogurt or TwoGood yogurt, I mix PEScience select protein powder in yogurt. That helped a lot during purée. As did good culture cottage cheese cups. I admit I treat myself to a little land o lakes whipped topping (sugar free) on my yogurt. and evening coffee. BariatricPal does have protein coffee with vitamins and protein hot cocoa with marshmallows that’s pretty decent. i love using ripple milk unsweetened plain , they also have unsweetened vanilla. It’s plant protein. sorry for rambling. -
Bandster, WOW, what you said really made sense to me. I've fallen in to the soft foods 'easy' trap! I've been eating soft foods because they are easier to get down and that might be where I've been running into problems. I wrote down everything I ate yesterday and today when I got on the scale, I was up a pound. This is SO frustrating. I'd be happy with 1 lb. a week at this rate!! I'm getting VERY close to getting VERY discouraged/disappointed! This is what I ate yesterday - if anyone has any feedback, I'd be very interested in hearing it. 3.5L (~120 oz.) of Water 1 Cup of Tea 2 Instant breakfasts (one morning and one afternoon) 1/2 cup of yogurt, granola & strawberries 1 cup chicken vegetable soup for lunch 1 oz. cheddar cheese 1 cup skim milk 1 shrimp enchilada I didn't exercise because I'm doing Curves 3x a week (and today is my day to go again). Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance for your help!!

becky!!!!! girl, we have been going through this together...banded same date. and have ran into each other several times with similar experiences. in my opinion, you are not getting enough solid foods. I WOULD BE LOOKING FOR food ALL THE TIME IF I ATE THAT...but that is just me. i was tight, where i was eating like that, and i was miserable. you didn't have anything solid until dinner. now, i know that some people on here do the same thing, and if that works for you great, but those liquid calories in Soups and instant breakfast, and yogurt add up really quick. i think the instant breakfast has like 90 cal, yogurt usually the same, they do have Protein, but mixed with milk you get more calories than protein. but again, i am not perfect. this is a typical day for me: breakfast---around 10..nothing before.. 3/4 slimfast high Protein Bar (190 calories and 15 grams of protein for the whole thing). 3/4 of a 1/2 of a tuna sandwich for lunch..on wheat, with some fritos in the sandwich ( i know weird). for dinner, 4 bites of solid meat, hamburger steak, real steak, chicken...whatever, 2 bites of veggies, and if i have room, starch. ...that is typical, definately not the rule though. for instance last night, i forgot to eat cuz i wasn't hungry, then i had sugar drop, got the shakes, inhaled some tuna salad on chips, threw it all back up because i didn't chew very well..then had nothing else for dinner. so i had nothing for bk, 1/8 of a nacho bell grande taco bell (weakness), and then nothing for dinner....know what i did??? pigged out on ice cream snickers right before bed... that's what i get for not eating. you are eating healthier than i am, but i think you would get less calories with more solid Proteins. my doc has a rule....he doesn't like for us to have milk..EVER...i don't like milk..so no problem for me, and he doesn't want us drinking our food. period. i thought the only way that i could lose weight was to be super tight, but i was wrong. and i feel a lot better now that i'm eating. i lost 4 lbs since last week!!!!

I'm 9 days out of surgery and my nut says only Protein shakes and broth for three weeks after surgery. Nothing blended, no Jello, no yogurt, nothing but shakes and broth. I'm not even half way and I'm going to need an alibi because there will be bodies before these three weeks are up. I'm going crazy!! Is there some way I can mix Protein powder and milk into something besides a Protein shake?

Favorite Foods Post Op
chefkelly replied to chefkelly's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Awesome to have such great advice and suggestions at this stage. Where were you 9 months ago when I was starting out? :-) Any new and interesting suggestions for cooking tilapia (my favorite food after chili and Greek yogurt)? Specifically a seasoning idea for foil-wrapped fish on the grill (to avoid fishy smell in the house)? For any type of fish the most important thing is quality-- I know it isn't always affordable but fresh fish actually shouldn't smell fishy. When you pick out fresh fish look for a nice color- not too slimy- and make sure and smell it, if it smells fishy it will taste fishy. When you buy fresh fish- store in an airtight bag and pack it in ice. To do this i usually just put it at the bottom of a tupperware container with enough ziplock bags of ice over it to cover it- this keeps it fresh- fish is very sensitive. But frozen fish can be really good too- sometimes better than fresh (as with the vegetables- flash frozen while fresh can retain more flavor and nutrients than something that sits in refrigeration). A lot of chefs use flash frozen seafood for crudos and tartars- it can be that good. To thaw it either thaw in the refrigerator or put it in airtight wrapping and place in a bowl of cold water and change water every 15 min until thawed--- this helps keep the flavor and freshness and safety of the fish. As for recipes my go to with a white fish is usually lemon juice and herbs- maybe a few spices like cumin or paprika. Or slices of lemon in the foil to keep the moisture. You can do really nice fruit and veg salsa with them too. Like a nice mango-red pepper, capers-tomatoes-garlic or cucumber-mint. Just work on those knife skills and the possibilities for toppings are endless! For me, fish is all about keeping it simple and fresh- the taste and texture are so delicate you want to highlight and compliment that! -
What are some of your favorite foods and what types of foods can you handle? How have your taste become different? I am a personal chef and am curious about the kind of food I will enjoy after surgery. Right now I do enjoy eating healthy food, I am mainly a volume eater. One of my favorite meals in pork roast with a spicy rub then greek yogurt as a cooling agent. How do you handle spices?

I dump mostly with fatty dairy (ice cream level fats) and greasy meats (but not ALL). I can have bacon that I make myself but don't do well with the one from the cafeteria at work. I also do fine with butter, yogurt, and cheese. it's kind of hit and miss but when I get it, it seems like i'm even more miserable 3.5 years out than I was initially!! I think that adding many grain products back into my diet have only added to the issue, as I am convinced that i'm gluten sensitive....

10 days before surgery - having anxiety and doubts, help!
BLERDgirl replied to 2NewBeginningsxoxo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I really like the Isopure Naked whey. Other than making things cloudy it has no taste at all. Best of all it can be mixed with hot or cold beverages. It mixes easier with cold. When mixing with hot do not cook it. I take a small amount of warm Water and a whisk and slowly mix the powder in with a whisk. Once it is well mixed and smooth I add that to my warm beverage or Soup. I've also mixed it with yogurt and even water. No taste but it was cloudy and unpleasant to look at. -
My surgery was Tuesday the 26th no pain medication since leaving hospital. Alittle nausea here and there woke and did take a pill for this morning. Alot better tonight think I tried to hard to get clear liquid protein in last night ruff night very uncomfortable. Start stage 2 tomorrow can add yogurt and premier shakes which I really liked before surgery

Got it! I have Yogurt as a snack and cottage cheese on week 4 yet oatmeal right away. But the oatmeal is blended and watered down with almond milk so it's like a soup. It's so strange to read all the different courses doctors have asked us to follow :).

make sure you get the plain yogurt. the fruit and even vanilla have a lot of sugar in them. I bought the Smuckers sugar free preserved and put that in the yogurt. good flavor, little calories and no sugar.
