Every protein shake I have tried tastes terrible to me. I am almost a week out. Anyone have any good suggestions? I have been eating cottage cheese, Greek yogurt and soups that are all liquified down, but really struggling to get my proteins and water in. My mid-back aches and I just don't feel hungry. I am starting to feel a little weak. I have only urinated twice today. Anyone have any good advice?

Feb 2017 sleevers - how's everyone doing post-op?
bobspeg replied to biginjapan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Now I've been a week from surgery. Pain is much better now. Gas and bloating still a problem. It seems the protein shakes cause the most bloating. I'm having a hard time getting them down, but yogurt seems to be okay. Anyone else have problems with the protein shakes? I've tried several brands and flavors, they all cause it. -
Can't keep anything down
blizair09 replied to Coloradobri's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
They told you to drink Ensure Clear? Really? That stuff is loaded with carbs and sugar and has little protein, relatively speaking. Have you tried the Premier Protein shakes? I have never found them to be gritty at all. Another idea is to mix unflavored protein powder into yogurt, broth, or strained cream soup. The broth and cream soup were go-to's for me during the liquid phase. -
I could eat at that stage and even now 6 weeks later. Cottage cheese, hard boiled egg pureed with mayo, popsicles, water sipping, shakes sipping, tuna pureed with mayo. Applesauce, yogurt. No more than 1 11/2 ounce or 2 ounces. [emoji175]sonkat5355[emoji175]

How many calories post op
Sullie06 replied to snapy17's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm still supplementing so 40 grams comes from my protein drinks, I use the Lift Protein by Atkins and it's not bad. I drink 2 a day at 20g of protein. For breakfast I typically eat greek yogurt. I do the Triple Zero so that give 15 grams of protein. For lunch I usually bring left overs from the night before or do lunch meat and cheese combo for about 15 grams. Dinner typically is some sort of lean meat and veggies. Examples of what I eat are baked or grilled balsamic chicken, Lemon grilled chicken, roasted turkey breast, homemade tuna salad with no bread, homemade burgers with no bun, chili (either ground beef or ground turkey) or meatloaf. Sometimes we do "tacos" with no shell or with a carb balance tortilla. I do a lot of low fat cheese in my meals so that boosts the protein count. My veggies I tend to stick to green veggies like broccoli, brussel sprouts and grilled squash and onions. -
Protein drinks, no protein intake
mylighthouse replied to Amy20's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 4 months post op. My favorite protein shake are the Premier protein shakes. They come ready-to-drink and one 11 ounce shake has 30 grams of protein in it. When I was at two weeks post op, I got most of my protein through the shakes and also by adding unflavored protein powder to broths, cream soups and yogurt. You can also add the unflavored protein powder to drinks such as Crystal Light, Powerade Zero, or, my favorite, decaf iced tea. Unflavored protein powder is great because you can do so many things with it. -
I was hit & miss with eggs during that stage. One day they'd be fine, the next day it was awful. I second the ricotta bake. That may still sit a bit heavy so take your time eating it, but it's an awesome recipe and I still make it from time to time even though I'm back to regular foods now. I wasn't very adventurous during the pureed stage. Did refried beans, cottage cheese with some pureed fruit (like peaches or pears), the ricotta bake, Greek yogurt, and pudding. You've probably seen it before but in case you haven't check out this site for some good recipes through the different phases http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/

Try greek yogurt,cottage cheese also.I couldn't eat scrambled eggs for quite a while.

I just barely tolerated the puree phase and definitely didn't do well with scrambled eggs. I relied on applesauce and SF chocolate pudding with protein powder mixed in, mashed potatoes made with Fairlife milk and shredded cheese on top to add extra protein, the ricotta bake (recipe on the world according to eggface blog), yogurt and shakes. It is uncomfortable at first to eat real food but keep at it. The uncomfortable feeling eventually goes away.

You need to make good food choices. McDonald's is not a good food choice. Chicken nuggets are terrible for you. Good proteins first and then non-starchy veggies. Things like REAL chicken, fish, etc and none of it breaded or fried. String cheese, cottage cheese, low carb low sugar yogurt, eggs. If you are hungry for a snack you can even indulge in a little bit of hummus or roasted almonds... yum. Or do a google search for chicken crust pizza and make yourself a delicious, healthy, low carb, protein packed pizza. You have to change the way you are eating, the sleeve is only a tool. How we use it is up to us. Also, remember, if you are getting hungry often.... carbs bring on hunger. Protein helps fill you up. Try to keep that protein between 90-100 grams a day and keep those carbs under 40 grams a day. If you aren't already using it, use myfitnesspal to keep track of your carbs, protein and calories.

Hi Everyone I just wanted to give you all a quick update on my progress. I'm 31 days post-op from my VSG to MGB revision. I'm down 23 pounds since surgery & 29 pounds since pre-op diet(3 day plain yogurt &water). I think I'm making excellent progress considering I'm a revision patient. In speaking with dr. Ponce de leon before surgery, he decided that a 300cm bypass would work best for me considering my lifelong battle with Obesity and my previous WLS failure. I'm so glad that he did a longer bypass! After years of struggle, I feel like I'm finally going to reach my goal weight. I also started back working out last week. I would like to do it first thing in the morning, but my daily bowel movements start at 6am. I make multiple trips to the restroom. It's usually over by 730am. I'm usually safe to go the gym around 9am. BM's don't hurt(no cramping), but they do stink bad and they have the potential to travel to other rooms and linger in the air is you don't contain it with some Poo pourri. Thanks to another poster, I was able to make my own poo pourri. It works just as great! Other than that, I'm doing fine. I get lethargic from time to time, but that's normal for me. The only thing I miss is being able to gulp down Water. I truly love water. I will try to keep you all updated on my progress from time to time. I've been a part of different WLS forums for years and I hate it when people disappear after their surgery. I hope my story helps someone in their 1st surgery or Revision surgery journey.

11 weeks post op
iamonlyhuman replied to iamonlyhuman's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yea, but t I don't think I am meeting my quota. I am so sick of meat and yogurt lol and I can't do the shakes they are so nasty I want to gag just thinking about them. I general practitioner did blood work and I was low in vitamin d and everything was good so I am not sure what is wrong. Iamonlyhuman -
@Monikareigh - You are about where I was 13 months ago. At the end of March/beginning of April 2016, I was 271.5 and 5'3". Today, I'm 190 and headed to 150. I feel like a new person. I'm going to offer some tips from my journey: Protein - is what is going to keep you from getting hungry. Try to eat 90-100 grams of protein a day. Carbs - limit your carbs, but don't cut them completely. While you are "waiting" for your appointment, do something like Atkins. I start each day with a protein shake - 1 cup coconut milk, 1 scoop protein powder and about 1 cup of frozen fruit. Throw it in the blender. Its under 200 calories about 25 grams of protein and keeps me full til lunch. Oikos Triple Zero yogurt is a life saver -- about 120 calories in a cup and 15 grams of protein. If you do have pasta - use the Barilla high protein pasta - it's in the yellow box and tastes really good. And start moving -- walk for 1/2 hour a day (around the block, at the mall, at a gym) - and track all your food. I like My Fitness Pal, but there are plenty of other trackers out there. You've got this girl. Best of Luck!

I was sleeved in December and I'm STILL struggling to get in all 60g of protein. Shakes don't sit to well with me but I try to get in one a day. I get my protein in through salmon, yogurt or egg whites but not all 60g. Any suggestions/ideas? What shakes do you guys like? Maybe it's the brand of shakes I'm getting. Not sure.

Need advice: Protein drinks
JillyT replied to Tonabella's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I got so sick of those too. Try fairlife milk chocolate, 2tbsp peanut butter, 1 tbsp Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup ice. Blend and it's awesome. Almost like a Wendy's frosty. Also, the Atkins strawberry shakes are ok - 15g protein. But all the pre made shakes get old fast. Good luck. -

ApplevsOrange replied to biginjapan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello all! I was sleeved 2/28. I am feeling better, only having mild tummy pain when sitting up from a bed or chair. I am going on regular walks and enjoying Greek yogurt on my full liquid diet! My favorite protein shakes are premier protein or muscle milk banana creme. I am 12 days post op and down 18 pounds from surgery. I am so grateful for my new tool! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -

strengthin#ers replied to biginjapan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello all....Sleeved Feb 20th. Everything is going down well, seem like to well. If I didn't have the belly soarness I would swear nothing was done. I have that back pain as well. Have no idea what causes it but it comes and goes. My only problem is some constipation. Nothing a little MOM can't fix or Dulcolax. I read some surgeon cut 2-4oz stomachs and some 6-8oz which is why some lose more than others. I can say mine is not the 2-4oz because I can eat a full cup of yogurt or drink 4-6oz in one setting. Has anyone ever heard that? -
I have hunger pains missing food as well. It's not just my mind either. As some may say....I sustain from eating it, but still!!!! [emoji23] I can only have egg, nut butters, cottage cheese and Greek yogurt as my 3 meals a day purée stage. I'm trying so hard to get use to my new normal. I will do it, this will not be a waste of time for me. God brought me this far, I know HE will see me through it. It's hard now for us but it will be greater later. Stay encouraged my dear.

Curious about rate of weight loss
Lawyeress replied to Lawyeress's topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
No. I still can only eat about 3 oz at a time and to get the protein goal it is solid meat. I can't do yogurt for some odd reason, it feels as if it gets stuck. Rice makes me sick and I ate a bite of a friend's lasagna at Bravo and felt like I was going to explode so I don't do pasta. I don't do fruit or grain (although I did add about a tablespoon of quinoa to my chicken breast and handled it well. The Coke I had about 2 oz of and as a liquid it went down easy. The pizza I had I just ate the cheese and pepperoni. What roughly has been your percentage of weight loss? -
Has anyone tried protein chips? Debating on ordering some, they are 21g of protein and only 5g or carbs per bag. And now i kinda only have yogurt or string cheese. Any recommendations on soft protein bars would be nice🙂 im not a huge fan of real chewy ones. just starting regular foods, its scary going into the regular food world lol

My doctor suggest phase 1 foods are soft and high protein. 1 egg scrambled, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, 1/2 cup refried beans with 2 table spoons shredded cheese. These are just a few things. Try only one new food each day. Avoid any spicy seasoning. I'm 16 days out. I tried a scrambled egg 13 days post op and the pain was terrible! After that initial problem I have been doing pretty good. I just cannot drink or sip water without terrible cramping and pain.
