thank you, I am trying to walk more and I am drinking plenty of water. The issue is, I am unable to eat a variety of food. I am little by little adding in food, but I can only handle cottage cheese, protein shakes, ground turkey, yogurt. sea food, beef, chicken make me sick.

Liquid stage and soft stage
tuhok1591 replied to Newbeva's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have been surviving on butternut squash soup, sf jello, sf pudding & sf popsicles. 1 have 2 protein shakes & 1 yogurt daily to meet my protein requirement. Blended cream of shrimp soup & Costco lobster bisque (again blended) is especially yummy as is egg drop soup from a fav Chinese take out. A bit more substantial than broth or bouillon. I was sleeved 4/17/17 and can't wait to move on to puréed foods in a few days. I am looking forward to the making the ricotta bake. I plan on making some tuna, chicken & egg salad w/ Greek yogurt & herbs, instead of mayo, to boost the protein. I also saw a low carb enchilada bake that looked good as well as a buffalo chicken bake. Check out crack chicken made in a crockpot or chicken alfredo served w/ zoodles or mashed cauliflower. http://www.recipe-diaries.com/2016/09/18/slow-cooker-crack-chicken/ Looking forward to seeing more puréed/soft food recipes! -
Liquid stage and soft stage
PatientEleventyBillion replied to Newbeva's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For liquid stage, of the things you didn't already mention, I had (and stopped having at soft solids) Fruit smoothies (frozen strawberries, bananas, blueberries) mixed w/milk and yogurt drink. Unsweetened applesauce Glasses of 2% milk Soft solids Ragu meat sauce w/blended lean ground beef Refried beans with melted block cheese String cheese Glass of 2% milk once every day or two Come in a few days when I do regular food will be reintroducing burgers and chicken nuggets. Didn't have to worry about family get-togethers, my family are in the US and Germany, in-laws are safely across the country (Ontario, Quebec). -
What are some things you ate to change it up on your liquid phase? I'm about sick of yogurt and Popsicles and pudding and tomato soup and broths. So far the best thing I ate was the broth from a healthy veggie soup my husband made. It was so good I managed to eat 4 Oz and still wanted more. For those that have gone through the soft phase... what was your first soft food recipe? I start soft foods in 1 week and am looking forward to it. I found several pinterest recipes and was thinking of doing either a ricotta bake or refried beam Bake for my first soft food meal. Or would it be better to start with a soup. The healthy veggie soup mentioned above is a base of beef broth with spinach, zucchini, carrots, bell peppers, onions, and broccoli in it. So all very tender. Just looking for ideas so I know what to buy at the store and also so I have something to look forward to and get through this week. Also, how did you handle your first family get together? We have a mother's day cookout Saturday and Idk how I'm going to handle it. Only a couple know what I had done

Soft foods 3wks post opt
Newme17 replied to hot_toddy1007's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you're cleared for soft foods, take a leap of faith and start. Yogurt, eggs, mashed black beans, etc. I'm sure you'll be fine. Seems like you'll need to get over psyche-ing yourself out first. You can do it! -
Anyone lose more than 50lbs in this age group (over 60) ?
SassyNanny replied to Reddrobin's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm 66, 18 months out and 120 down. 40 to go. Took a vacation from tracking and didn't lose anything for 3 months. Back on SparkPeople.com. Goal to get under 200 pounds by months day. Dr told me to aim for 60 grams of daily protein. Sometimes I use premier protein drinks from Costco. Skinless chicken breasts have tons of protein. Greek yogurt too.

It's tough to get protein in as a non meat eater. I love miso soup made with a homemade beef broth. Miso has tofu. You can buy a firm high protein tofu but I caution against too much soy. Also, u you may have to eat more to get it. 1 cup of broccoli has 3G of protein. Maybe make a yummy beef broth broccoli soup with tofu. Don't forget eggs! Yum! Greek yogurt is higher in protein. I have used it to replace sour cream, mayo in home made salad dressing. Add some stevia and fruit with crushed almonds...omg that is super yummy. You'll have to be creative to get protein without meat. But people do it all the time. Google is my go to for recipes and ideas. We're all learning:-). Good luck

I lost weight following plastics. I stayed within 118-123 range. I was not very hungry and likely lost muscle. I really ate pretty much what I wanted to plus Popsicles. I had multiple procedures and protien goal of hundred grams for 6 weeks. I too was really freaked out about not exercising and once I started I strained my stomach muscle which set me back exercising another four weeks. I ate a lot of my usuals cheese nonfat yogurt nuts fish vegetables keeping sugars as low as possible. Now 5 months out from plastics round one

Hi!! I'm glad you guys are doing so well. Things are going pretty good for me too. No more pain pills for me here except maybe a Tylenol. My post op appt is tomorrow so hoping I graduate and can add protein drinks, yogurt and creamy soups. I'm getting so tired of clear liquids. The pain on my left side has finally diminished so I slept on it last night for the first time. Never had any nausea but probably because I had scheduled zophran in the hospital whether I needed it or not. I also didn't realize my chest would gurgle every time it tries to get fluid down. That's getting a little better though! Keep up the good work and keep in touch!!

Best blender/food processor for pureed food?
Introversion replied to ChaosUnlimited's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
The basic $10 blender that you already have will suffice just fine. Look at the big picture...the pureed food phase is only two weeks out of your life. There are so many pureed options that come ready-to-eat and require no additional processing such as yogurt, pudding, cottage cheese, ricotta, refried beans, creamed soups, shakes, and jarred baby food meats/veggies. I would save the money you intend to spend on a pricier food processor or blender and, instead, spend it on smaller clothing or something that provides you with a thrill. -
Puréed foods 1 week out
Katriena replied to Cajun1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was allowed purée from day 2. :-) BUT: not everything felt good and the portions were tiny. Yogurt usually works well. RNY 14 April 2017 SW: 295 lb / 134 kg GW: 187 lb / 85 kg (I'll see when I get there) -
I had my surgery nine days ago and it went great. No pain or discomfort from day one I could tolerate clear liquids and even an ounce of yogurt several times a day. I am getting in 64 ounces of water in a day and 90/120 grams of protein. I use paleo egg protein mixed into my drinks. I average 700-900 calories a day. I have only lost two pounds since the surgery as good as I feel I am actually afraid that I will put weight on as I don't feel any restriction. It worries me has any one else experienced this?

What the heck is wrong with me???
Mandybb replied to Mandybb's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You know you are so right! I had zero plan. I wanted to take yogurt but was worried it would spoil. I took ham for sandwiches but after lunch it was all eaten. I had no nuts or protein of any kind so it started with the fruit and went downhill from there. By 6pm, it was over and I've been contemplating it ever since. -
Starting Full Liquids
HurricaneU replied to Nynjesq's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would wait 30mins after or before eating yogurt. I didn't the other day and I noticed the difference. It's not solid food, but you can feel the difference. Going to puree food Tuesday. -
Good morning all, I just started full liquids this morning. I had some plain yogurt. Felt ok. Got nauseous for a quick second after. I'm confused about the 30/30 rule though. My booklet from the doc says to begin it at this stage. But it's all liquids. Do you need to wait 30 minutes after yogurt to begin sipping fluids? What about soup? Thanks in advance. I've found these forums to be the greatest thing after surgery!

Are you getting in high protein dairy like Greek yogurt and small curd cottage cheese? I ate little cups of Muuna cottage cheese for a while because it was a small amount that packed 15 g and tasted very good with various fruit flavors in addition to plain. My NUT also recommended adding powdered milk to soups to up the protein. I'm lucky in that I didn't have issues with eggs. I sometimes eat a boiled egg chopped up very fine and mixed with avocado and a bit of mayo. You could also try adding in very finely chopped deli ham. It's pretty yummy. Good luck!

I am not allowed rice, pasta or breads for another few weeks. But I have had food from fast food like chicken which is my downfall. I see myself slowly going back to bad habits now I know I can tolerate it. It takes so much discipline and I have to constantly try and make my mind aware. My problem is there are so many foods that I don't like but are healthy and on list of things to eat. I hate yogurt but found one I can tolerate so I can get my protein in. But not all the time. I am trying to be happy about my weight loss but honestly it's a battle!! I need to work harder .

My Hunger Has Returned!!
futurefeatherweight replied to jessjames's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am kind of where you are when it comes to feeling more hungry lately. I think that it probably has to do with my increase in carbohydrate intake (been eating bread and potatoes some here lately) and not drinking enough liquid. I am really good at getting adequate protein. If you are struggling with protein intake, just keep switching it up until you find something that appeals to you. I am big on different kinds of jerky and Chobani Greek yogurt and Oikos triple zero. jerky makes it really easy to hit your protein goal. After months of using the protein shakes and bars, I absolutely loathe all of them. -
5/5 - I cooked my asparagus, provolone stuffed chicken. I added a picture. I went to the gym (crunch-his gym) with my boyfriend and embarrassed myself. There was a huge dude, built like Arnold Schwarzenegger in his younger years. I was thinking how does he wipe his butt lol. I kept staring at him. I ended up tripping over my own feet and flew off the treadmill into the back wall. I have some scrapes and soreness but I am good. My bf got me a ice pack and proceeded to scold me for staring. He said, "That's what you get for staring at people and not focusing." I said, "Can you blame me? I have never seen someone that huge in my entire life." He just laughed. He checked my head to make sure that I did not hit it. He then took me to Red Mango so I could some frozen yogurt on my bruised ego.

April sleevers!?
Finding_Stacy replied to Simplyrosie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was only on a liquid diet for 24 hours, then moved to puréed food, cheese, and eggs by the second day. A typical day is 2 protein shakes a day, which is 2 carbs total. A half an egg, which is 0 carbs. A stick of vermont sharp cheddar cheese is 1 carb. A quarter cup of triple zero vanilla nonfat Greek yogurt is 2.5. This is what I had today, plus 70 oz of water. It feels like a job, but today is the first time I met both my liquid and protein goals. So for today, 5.5 carbs--556 calories. Some days I'll drink a half of cup of fairlife milk, but not today -
April sleevers!?
PatientEleventyBillion replied to Simplyrosie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hear hear. I have no idea though how a poster was on their liquid phase and getting under 10 (was it?) grams of carbs a day. Pretty much everything I ate from unsweetened apple sauce to yogurt drink to milk was all over that in one serving. But, I'm back on high protein foods w/soft solids so happy I can cut that stuff out. -
Help with protein!
Introversion replied to mochamommy727's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Easy-to-digest protein sources for the early days include: 1. Greek yogurt; add a packet of Carnation Instant Breakfast low-sugar for additional protein 2. Canned refried beans; top them with melted cheese for additional protein 3. Protein shakes (my favorites include Premier Protein, Muscle Milk, and Slim Fast high protein) 4. Add unflavored protein powder to foods 5. Syntrax Nectar (if you dislike milky tasting products and prefer fruity tasting stuff instead) 6. Ricotta topped with pasta sauce, melted mozzarella and parmesan 7. Sugar-free pudding with a scoop of powdered milk (powdered milk is the cheapest protein source) -
HOP INTO SPRING CHALLENGE!!
gnomelover replied to Dashofpixiedust8's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
236 today. I'm going the wrong direction. The problem this week is that I have been soooooo hungry. I haven't stretched my sleeve because a scrambled egg or the innards of a taco are all I can manage still, but I am eating way too often, I think. I've got to try to stop eating with the family. I think that's part of it. I just can't eat the things they can. Another mistake has been weighing every day, I think. That really seems to be screwing me up. I'm starting the day with a protein shake and coffee, and I'm not hungry until eleven or so. That's almost 200 calories, however, and keeping it to 800 the rest of the day isn't happening. I'm frustrated at myself, but all I can do is keep trying. Food today: 5:00 coffee and shake 11:00 one egg, half a half a biscuit with gravy. (Won't be eating the biscuits and gravy any time soon again. Lost the craving.) 3:00 Greek yogurt 5 1/4 container 5:30 refried beans with the inside of a taco tossed in. Still no more than the egg. 8:00 fat free pudding. Will have a few bites of cottage cheese b4 bed to help my restless leg meds not bother my stomach.
