Hi, I work as a Para Professional in the NYC Public School System. I'm 8 weeks post op and down 40 lbs. I thought it was going to be difficult as well. I use Mio flavoring in my 30 oz water bottle and sip it throughout the day. No problem whatsoever. After experiencing slight dehydration , you're going to find that you go out of your way to drink as much as you can. As for eating I pack a bag every nigh before I go to sleep. I alternate my snacks. For breakfast I have an egg or a yogurt or a protein shake. Around 10:30 I'll have some almonds or pretzel chips with Hummus or a Sargento snack pack. It's a little difficult at first but first but it gets alot easier as you go along. Best of luck on your journey !!!!

Sip Sip Sip ... Not Me !!
Please replied to ayanna_vsg's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I had my Leak test done the day after surgery, the nurse said "watch the screen as you drink" so you drink the chalky drink,& you can see your tiny skinny little stomach take the fluid, mine emptied really fast and the intestines went to work super fast he said, so that was good news! So emptying fast from fluids is good news, I'm 6days post op, no nausea , nothing negative (so far) & and I have no issues getting my protein shakes in or my water. When I eat Greek yogurt watered down, things slow down and I get full, usually I can eat it all, but I stirred in 1 tablespoon of peanut butter (NUT recommended)& i got full before being able to finish it. So everyone's a little different , just don't test it like someone else said, you don't need the tempatations. Have a great day! -
Boost Your Protein with Unflavored Protein Powder
BaileyBariatrics posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgery Magazine
Your surgeon and your dietitian say you need more protein. With a limited stomach pouch, how is that going to happen? You can add protein by adding unflavored powder to many things you are already eating and drinking. These can be added to a variety of foods and beverages including cooked cereals, flavored water or low-calorie sports drinks, light yogurts, unsweetened fruit purees, sugar-free puddings, protein shakes and smoothies, milk, decaf coffee or tea, cottage cheese, soups, broth and hummus or other bean dips. Finding unflavored protein in a single serve packet will allow you to sample a brand without having to buy the larger container first. Single serve packets of whey protein isolate are available online with Bariatric Fusion, Jay Robb and Unjury. Whey protein powder is also found in the bulk bins at Sprouts Farmers Market. You can buy a small amount to taste test. Our patients have also liked the larger containers of unflavored whey protein by brands like Inspire , Isopure (GNC, online) and online (online). Keep in mind, whey protein must be kept under 140 degrees, otherwise, it will curdle. Soy protein isolate is also available. Brands include GNC and brands like NOW Foods and Genisoy, which are available online and some natural foods stores. These will be in larger containers. Sprouts Farmers Market also has soy protein in their bulk bins, so that you can buy a small amount to taste test. Sometimes you can get a sample taste of unflavored protein in stores that sell natural foods, supplements and sports nutrition products. Ask about the return policy if you don’t like the product. There are many other brands of unflavored protein powders on the market. If you have a group of bariatric buddies, perhaps the buddies can buy different brands to try and share. This cuts the cost of taste testing. May your protein status be awesome! -
I know I've read here a million times about a 3 week stall - but I guess now that it's happening to me ...... I'm freaking out lol I'm so worried I'll be the ONE that this surgery doesn't work for !! I'm definitely reaching my Protein goals each day..... almost reaching my liquid goal and I'm really not eating very much. Maybe once a day I have yogurt or turkey slices w/ cottage cheese. Grrrrrrrrr! [emoji4] Thanks for any advice !!!

Thanks - I don't add ice but add 1/3 frozen banana, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup Almond milk, a scoop of unflavored protein powder and a packet of Truvia. I was never quite sure how to count it as all but the almond milk is 'solid'.

Ok so anytime i give my option[emoji3] i always tell people to check in with their NUT or Dr... so just based off of the one meal plan you've given us, i see some hidden sugar. Your body may be holding on to that extra suger. really read your lables on yogurt, peanut butter and almond milk. Also for me my body has always preferred a good balance of good carbs and protein. We are all different and our bodies like different things, with the help of your NUT try to change your diet up. Add more protein or add more good carbs. Continue to track your meals to see what works and what doesnt. Overall sounds like your doing a great job so dont get discouraged. And one day we may see SUN in seattle.[emoji1]

Post op phase 3 diet
mylighthouse replied to slothritis's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I was on my soft food phase I ate scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, yogurt, string cheese, baked salmon, chicken cooked in cream of chicken soup (to keep it nice and soft and moist), low carb meatloaf, canned carrots, canned green beans, mashed sweet potatoes. I stayed away from pork and beef, because they are too heavy and not soft or easy to chew, with the exception of meatloaf. I also got my protein in first and would have only a few bites of the soft vegetables. I didn't fill up on carbs, so when I ate sweet potatoes, it would just be a few bites. -
12 Days Post Op and I Feel like the food I'm eating daily is wrong.. HELP ME!
orionburn replied to chrissyliezl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What do you feel is high sugar/fat in your food list? Unless the soup is full fat & cream based I can't imagine the nutritional info being that terrible. Yes, you do need to be careful with soups as they can hide a lot of "bad" in them, but if you stick with light versions and avoid the heavy cream stuff they'll be fine in a diet. Greek yogurt is much better nutritionally than regular yogurts. I second the recommendation for the Oikos triple zero. They have some awesome flavors. I believe Yoplait makes a 100 calorie Greek yogurt that is really good as well. You're right in your thinking of getting into the habit of avoiding food with high sugar/carb content, but at this point your #1 goal is to focus on protein (60g minimum) and water intake (64 oz min). Protein shakes can get boring as hell in that phase but you're better off having that over a soup that is high carb/fat and little protein. If you feel your current protein power/drink is too high in sugar than look to other brands. These days most stores like Wal-Mart even have a decent selection of protein powders, or get something from Amazon if you don't have many options nearby. Just search the board for "protein powder recommendations" and you'll get a ton of results. Just skim through some threads and you'll see what the popular brands are. -
What is your daily menu/meal plan
1poundatatime replied to chrissyliezl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved 2 days after you. I've been having: Breakfast: 6oz shake (18gm protein) Snack: 6oz shake (18 gm protein) Lunch: 8oz cream soup of some sort Snack: 5oz total greek yogurt thinned with almond milk (8-11 gm protein) Dinner: 8oz cream soup Snack: 6oz shake (18 gm protein) And sipping 48 oz of water throughout the day. Sometimes I splurge and have a popsicle or a little bit of kefir. -
Hi ALL:) I am 9 months out and have lost 99 lbs!!! My question is I have hit a stall at 177 lbs. (down from 275). I'm looking at what I'm eating and wondering if I may be eating too many carbs. For example, I do eat a couple handfuls of pretzels like every other day, and sometimes a piece of toast. Mainly though my diet consists of veggies and fruit, string cheese, and deli slices, greek yogurt, light Soups. Any ideas? Have a great day!!!

I'm going to look into the slim fast and yogurt pops, thank you. I also have to find a new multi vitamin, I have gummies and forgot that they are not good to take after the surgery. Someone mentioned a liquid one, just not sure where they got it from.

Jesm1029 replied to chrissyliezl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Greek yogurt okios triple zero are good I would do sugar free pops at your stage and sugar free jello. When I got to the soft foods I would scramble egg whites cheese wedges are really good. Premiere protein is delicious banana flavor is my favorite -

There is a forum for the 60 age group but it is not too active. I was banded 12/06 and am 62. I am way healthier than my formerly fat forties. I hope to keep my band... many cant. I also find the night the most challenging... I'm thinking most people do... Greek yogurt or yogurt popsicles are good. I try not to bring other stuff into the house.....

Estrogen and weight stall
fatnomore2017 replied to Fishing girl's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Just protiens very few carbs. Protien Shakes with less than 6 carbs, scrambled eggs or eggwhites, yogurt with more protien than carbs, ricotta cheese, string cheese and cottage cheese. No oatmeal unless it's the specially formulated bariatric kind because it has too many carbs. My nutritionist is very big on very low carb. She said our bodies burn our carb tank first and then fat so low carb is important for fat burning. -
Also try Damron Yogurt for breakfast only 80 cal and good protein. I like Turkey jersey too. Not much calories, and it helps my salty cravings.

What do I bring to Pre-Op?
1poundatatime replied to MelissaRose24's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Maybe pick up some liquid tylenol? I had a headache one day and was glad I had some in the cupboard (I had it anyways for the kids). And Gas-X strips. You can buy your vitamins and stock the cupboards with the early things you'll be able to eat (tea, water flavour, greek yogurt, almond milk, shakes, cream soups, broth, etc). -
I like Oikos or Liberte. How have the last couple days gone? I'm 8 days post-op, so sipping away on water, soup, thinned greek yogurt, tea, and the never ending protein shakes. lol
-
Thank you for your advice. I am definitely going to try the things you suggested. It's a LITTLE hard while I'm at work because we are a nut free school, so that somewhat limits my snack choiced, but there are definitely some things I can use as substitutes for my bars. I do eat Greek yogurt, what brand do you prefer? Thank you again!!!!

Post op clear liquids
arringtonc49 replied to jennyd123's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 14 day post op. I have been drinking six star chocolate Isolate whey protein powder. I mix with water or almond milk. I am lactose intolerance. It did give me gas the 1st week.i would take GAS X the start of day and walk around and that help me. NOW i have no problem with gas when drinking it or mixing with Yogurt. Maybe because the gas issue is gone from surgery.
