Toast or crackers with meals
shannybananny71 replied to Carmencita!981's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Do you work out? I would think that your body would need more than 20 grams of carbs a day for working out. I eat between 20-40 carbs a day. That's total carbs, not net carbs. I haven't started working out yet but will be starting soon. Once I start working out, I plan to keep my carbs between 30-40. My carbs come from yogurt, nuts, sometimes beans, and half a protein bar each day. -
I am 2 months out and need some Breakfast alternatives. I have been eating yogurt but find that it doesn't stay with me and I'm hungry an hour or two later. For some reason, eggs are not compatible with my sleeve; the first bite is like a cork-no matter how much I chew it first. I need something that is portable so I can take it to work. I have a Protein drink/bar (spilt up in the day) to supplement my protein, so need something different. Suggestions, please!!!

Stage 3 soft foods
Paul Bahr replied to braydens.momma's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doc says anything you can eat if you didn't have teeth. You may have any of the following, or any soft/mushy food you could eat without teeth: Soft cooked moist scrambled or minute poached eggs, mashed potatoes, small curd cottage cheese, and yogurt with fruit, soups or chili with soft cooked vegetables. Soft cooked white fish, canned tuna, salmon, chicken, or beef that is mixed with low-cal mayonnaise. Refried beans, soft string cheese, oatmeal, grits, any fresh or canned soft cooked vegetables. -
Hard to get liquids in. Sipping water all day, have half premier protein shake for breakfast and half for dinner. A couple of teaspoons of greek yogurt for lunch. Each day is getter better.

I guess I didn't realize I could do anything with my profile, lol. I'm a newbie. I will take some pics of my recipes! I've also been dabbling with different concoctions. Mainly switching up the yogurt. Tonight I'm having Oikos triple 0 coconut cream with mocha protein powder and 2.5 strawberries. It's delightful! I'm trying to post a couple pictures of the recipes, but it won't let me. [emoji849]

Please forgive me for over stepping. But, I disagree. I don't think you should ask your regular Dr for nutrition advice for at least 6 months. They have no clue usually. You shouldn't be "getting any calories you can" you need ONLY very high protein foods. Instead of grits make a scrambled egg and put it in your nutri bullet of whatever blender you have. Or some Daisy cottage cheese. 1/2 cups has 10 or 12 grams of protein. The oikos yogurt drinks I listed before are tiny but full of protein. Your body is burning up all your fat for fuel. You don't need carbs, just protein and water. Calories right now are not needed really. You can do it. You are just going through an emotional and physical shock and it's hard to adjust, but you WILL. And you are going to be gorgeous. -
First of all, congratulations!! How are you doing and feeling? That sounds so good. I've craving greek yogurt. I bought so many different protein powders and they all turn my stomach when I think about it. Yes!! I would love more recipes. Please? I hope you update your profile so I can learn more about you!

I am also newly sleeved (4/4). I have been doing a lot of smoothies that my nutritionist recommended. I seem to like the yogurt smoothies the best. The pre-mixed protein shakes I lived on during pre-op phase sound terrible to me now. For smoothie: Any container Greek 100 yogurt (sugar under 10) 1/2 c milk 1 scoop unflavored protein powder 1/4 c dry milk Half banana (or other fruit) It takes me half the day to get it down, but it tastes good. There are a few others I can share if you're interested, or Pinterest seems to have a lot of good ideas as well. Good Luck!

Hello, I had my surgery a week ago yesterday (4/5//17) so I'm brand spanking new. I am not very hungry at all and the thought of having a Protein Shake makes me want to gag. My doctor said that he just wants me to get at least one Protein shake (30 grams of protein) and fluids if that's all I can do. Any other protein options you can recommend. I can only have liquids. Soup? I bought a fresh squeezed juice yesterday consisting of beets, carrots, apple and ginger. I need something wholesome. It was very soothing to me. Don't know if I am allowed to have that but I didn't want to have anything. Also, my daughter has Cobani Yogurt drink that has 14 grams of protein and I liked it. The tanginess more specifically. Except it's high in sugar. Any suggestions? How soon after did you guys exercise? My doctor told me right away so on the third day, I gone on my spin bike for 15 minutes. Seems too soon though... Anyway, I would love to get to know you and be part of this community. I feel like a preschooler. I know nothing. So I'm willing to learn. Thank you!!

Try the oikos yogurts. They are so delicious!!! 10 G protein each. I have also seen the light regarding hunger. It's funny, I used to say, but I don't eat that much!! How am I fat?? I blamed my lupus meds and diabetes. Now I am remembering every time, I just casually walked past the pantry and stuffed an Oreo in my mouth. Or finished off the kids fried chicken so it wasn't wasted food. Or all the times I had "just a few bites" of the cake on the counter while I cleaned the kitchen. YES, I did eat that much!! I just did it without noticing. -
aaak same here, sleeved 04/05 and I have dreams of eggs! Anything but these stupid protein shakes. Week 4 of this and I am feeling very sorry for myself as well. Good to know I am not alone. I don't like jello so I have Face 0% Greek yogurt and Fairlife 0% and flavorless protein powder. Also no sugar Popsicles and chicken broth. One day at the time @megh02

Hi, I wasn't either. Luckily I'm one of those crazy people that prepares for emergencies and one of my preps is this: https://smile.amazon.com/SurvivAMINO-Emergency-Substitute-Vitality-Sciences/dp/B00MAG75FU/ref=sr_1_10_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1492109292&sr=8-10&keywords=protein+tablets those shakes are disgusting! I am not taking 15 tabs (90 g of protein) I'm taking 9 a day instead. I don't need 90 g of protein!! Plus I bought these: http://www.oikosyogurt.com/products/yogurt-drink/strawberry they are amazing and taste so delicious and have 10g protein!!!! I will start those when I feel like "eating" -
I am very lucky to not have a all liquid pre op diet. I give you props haha I have a protein shake for breakfast then a snack which is either a protein bar or Greek yogurt and then lunch is a protein shake and then I get another snack then for dinner it's 6 ounces of lean protein, 1 cup of cooked vegetables(2 cups if raw) and 1/2 cup of a starch then one more protein shake before bed if I'm hungry! Good luck though! The 26th will be here before we know it![emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]

Yogurt. Cottage cheese. Hummus. Pudding. Repeat. Vegetables are making me sick. Which sucks because I would actually kill someone from a salad. Any suggestions?

I am 6 weeks post-op and have noticed that meat doesn't taste good anymore. I have tried chicken several ways (kung pao, teriyaki, grilled) and fish (even with lemon and tartar sauce) and they don't taste right. I don't even want to eat them but feel I need to in order to get enough Protein in for the day. I know there are other sources of protein. Other things still taste the same to me (yogurt, eggs, cheese, iced tea). What the heck is going on?

Pre-op diet. Need a buddie
sheliss replied to Nikkah_Mineolalove's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm scheduled for 4/19 also and today is my first day of liquids. I appreciate any ideas for what I can have besides the broth, sugar free jello and popsicles. I'm meeting with the dietician in a few hours and will have to ask her about Greek yogurt and steamed veggies. Good luck everyone!! -
Trust me when I say that your body will let you know if you're eating too much. For me, I hiccup one time. Any bite/sip over that hiccup and I need to be finding a restroom fairly quickly. You definitely are not eating enough. What are you allowed during your soft foods stage? The only reason why I ask is because surgeons are so different when it comes to that. I am allowed pretty much any meat (except steak) and fruit and veggies as well. Chicken and other meats just need to be chewed really well... the first couple of times I literally counted to 30 with my chews and made sure not to take such a big bite. Protein shakes are really REALLY hard for me to stomach so I'll only drink them when I have a super tight restriction day... after I've tried to at least eat a yogurt. For breakfast: I have a Greek yogurt which has anything from 14-17 grams of protein in it. Every now and then I have chili from Wendy's because it I easy and cheap when I'm out and about and will usually give me 2-3 meals depending on how much I eat. Eggs w/ cheese is another good simple protein option. Peanut butter isn't on my list of okay foods so I cannot answer that question for you. Hope this helps.

Adverse reaction to Percocet phenomena
lf1227 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just had my 1 week post op apt and I have been cleared for soft foods ahhh! Can't wait to have yogurt lol. While I saw my doctor I explained to him how everyday since I've been home immediately when I wake up I feel hot and dizzy and nauseas and very ill. Liquid Tylenol only made it worse so I waited and took the Percocet I was sent home with and I felt so much better! But then it turned into a cycle where in the morning I'd feel like **** and then by nighttime I was lively, no pain feeling food. He then explained that it was mostly likely side effects from the Percocet and to take pill Tylenol. The thing is is that I have never had that terrible side effect from Percocet although it's very common. Anyone else have this problem?? I am going to refrain for the day and see how I feel tomorrow morning [emoji855] -
Calling all vets. Need help 4 years post op

Some dense protein breakfast ideas? I usually eat eggs and turkey bacon or Greek yogurt. -
I am on my diet for a month, so end of April I will see if I can get my date. My diet isn't so bad. It is lean meats and raw veggies and only 2 protein shakes for breakfast and lunch. I am allowed snacks like nuts, sugerfree jello and greek yogurt. It's not so bad, but I'm tired of chicken lol

Pre-op diet. Need a buddie
Mama o'4 replied to Nikkah_Mineolalove's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just finished the first week of my 2 week liquid diet. I survived...yay! It actually wasn't AS bad as I had originally anticipated. I have tried to eat things high in protein. I am allowed to have greek yogurt as long as it doesn't have any chunks and that was pretty helpful. Also a lot of Premier protein shakes! I have a "tasteless" protein powder that I have added to my "creamy" soups and that seems to give them a little boost. But I do agree with everyone about the popsicles. I found some that are sugar free tropical flavored that are pretty good. My surgery date is April 19th. Good luck to everyone! -
I have two different types of protein shakes with different flavors and they make me vomit I drink broth it hurts to go down but I deal with the pain my water and Gatorade hurts to go down and I vomit from those as well I haven't tried oatmeal or cream of wheat so I'll try those but yogurt water Gatorade broth soup baby food all make me sick

Healing quickly
MeltsIntoWonder replied to michellevsg's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm a week post op, and was sent home from the hospital on full purées. I'm still mostly just drinking water and protein drinks, with the occasional yogurt or applesauce; but that's really mostly because I'm nervous about trying anything else. I have my first follow up next week, at which they will probably move me to soft foods, so it sounds like your diet progression might be similar to mine. As others have said, every doctor is different. The most important thing in these early stages I think is to just follow the plan you were given. It sounds like you must have a good surgeon since you are feeling good and healing quickly!
