Thankfully, my doctor advised anything I can get through a straw. So, I went and bought a small strainer with a handle and I've been making cream of mushroom soup, french onion, cream of chicken, cream of broccoli ( I usually buy the soup at hand) and then I just strain out the solids. Its actually been okay. I also bought yogurt smoothies from the dairy section premade only 90 calories for breakfast. I know its rough but might as well try to make the best of it. Good luck!

Hey TXBandit- It is weird how we are all on different diets. . .I had/have 4 days of clear liquids followed by 17 days of all liquids including Soups, blended stuff, etc. Day 21 I go on solids. I am hungry on Day 6. I still have some gas and a growling stomach. I am worried about making it to Day 21 without any solids at all. I figure I will try some yogurt and Jello today to see if it helps the hunger pains. A lot of people talk about the fills being the really important in getting the journey underway for the long term. Will the hunger go away with the fills? I am worried that the hunger is never going to go away:faint:

Darn, you peeps spoke to soon. We could have really messed with Nicole's head and told her she's the only one! Nicole, are you kidding? You, the only naughty one? Pa-leeezzze! But I just enjoyed a delicious dish of fresh fruit with a blob of cherry whipped yogurt. It was really heavenly, but it was NOT candy. (In your best Sinade O'Connor - singing to the candy) Nothing compares, noTHING COMpares, to yoooooooooooooou.

As someone who rarely cooks is it weird that I am ridiculously proud of myself for digging out my slow cooker this week? I have been thinking about investing in a 3 in 1 cooker, but since I rarely use my old-fashioned slow cooker I though I had better give it a whirl. I raised my pantry and used a can of black beans, two cans of Rotel tomatoes, one brick of Greek yogurt cream cheese, a few shakes of Mexican seasoning, and two frozen chicken thighs. I made it on Monday and will probably still be eating it this Friday. I still have chicken thighs. What EASY recipe should I try next?

Protein shakes can be made ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator. I also bought my yogurt. It doesn't take much to get filled up. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

fast foods I have a problem with it won't go down. if i have a burger, it is w/out the roll. and i can't even think about fries. but by the time i eat the burger I'm full. bread of any kind NO WAY! but if i toast rye bread and make it hard i can get a few bits before it gets stuck. not worth it. once something gets stuck and the sliming starts i can't eat for 1 hr. breakfast usually is crangrape juice w/benefiber in it and my 8 pills, then I'm full thats around 7:00 am. at 1:00 p.m. i may have tomatoe soup or cottage cheese or yogurt. if I'm home for dinner it would be some kind of protein ad some kind of canned veg. if I'm out i omit the veg. because i can't get it cooked soft enough to get it down. sometimes i will eat salad if it goes or i ask for cucumbers and vinegar. i think my biggest thing is that i don' exercise. but that is going to end soon.

Anyone else sleeved Monday may 20
SouthernSweetheart replied to sissytx's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For the pureed, I've done garden peas, mashed potatoes, refried bean, mashed up baked beans, I'm still doing yogurt and pudding. Pureed part is hard BC its not very appetizing at all. More ideas on others foods would be great for me too! -
Okay, was sleeved May 28 so almost 4 weeks. Husband bought me this kickass blender and said I should have more fun with coming up with new shake ideas.... So, here's what I did; 1/2 cup egg white (5p/100cal) 1 scoop New Whey Vanilla (30p/100cal) 2 scoop Ensira Chocolate (24p/200cal) 1 cup Greek yogurt plain (23p/120cal) 1 cup Almond milk Unsweetned Vanilla (1p/30 cal) 1 Tsp Chocolate SF pudding mix and 1/2 tsp vanilla 1/2 banana I figure this is 83 to 85 Protein and 550 cal. Since I'm only 4 weeks out and still liquid/soft food only and I thought this was a sure thing. Thoughts please..... need to know if this is good idea. I plan on using the SF pudding and jello mixes for flavor fun

It's best to eat every 2 or 3 hours. I have a Greek Yogurt in between each meal as a snack to fill me up and give me extra protein. The yogurts with my fluids, are keeping me feeling full and getting me through the day. Good luck.

Just Want To Feel Better
Uniqueladybug replied to Uniqueladybug's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you... I dumped on yogurt in the hospital and am scared to death to try it again. Worst feeling ever! There have been days I haven't gotten any Protein in. My hair is gonna eventually fall out and I'm never gonna feel better. I just wanna cry some days. I've lost a little over 30 pounds but I would rather have my 30 pounds back than feel like this!

Rating protein powders
Oregondaisy replied to Oregondaisy's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I have tried it and it doesn't bother me. I put it in yogurt. Some people say it does have a weird taste, but I don't think it does. -
When visiting my doctor, one of the dieticians said I could mix sugar-free Jello (powdered gelatin) with plain yogurt (she recommended Greek-style). Adds a real nice taste to the yogurt.

bigmills replied to Khrystah's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums

Store Yesterday and had a wave of nausea and cold sweats while trying to find yogurt and thought I was going to pass out, came home and had a violent bup and dry heave session and I feel a ton better. But I have a sore abdomin worse when I stand no redness or sign of infection. I thought I would try to go to work later this week, I think I'll wait to next. I'm going to the movies solo today.:confused2: -
Eating and Drinking At the Same Time (Post-Op)
Cindy_D replied to MissNilsa's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know we should keep the carbs to a minimum, but eating a good fibre cereal helps with the plumbing - mixing that cereal (1/4 cup of high fibre type) with yogurt or low fat cottage cheese might be a good option for Breakfast - worth a look at. Cindy -
9/7- 1 year Surgiversary! Down 130 lbs!
Tekara3927 replied to Tekara3927's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi! So I'm going to be honest. I eat what I want, when I want. I got this sleeve to help control portions, not control my life. I know Protein is important above all else, so I make protein based meals, but I still enjoy my carbs! Lots of Greek yogurt, cheese, turkey, chicken and a whole lot of beef jerky! (I'm obsessed!) I take Zumba classes regularly, try working on my arms a lot, and as far as my skin, I mean it's not amazing. But I have seen WAY worse. My arms are a little flabby, but I have been using "it works" wraps pretty regularly and that has helped tremendously along with defining gel. hope this helps. It really just depends on the person, everyone's results and theories are different, these are mine . I did get really bad gall stones and have my gall bladder removed a month ago. Phew, glad that's over! Best wishes !!! -
Some general nutrition questions
PdxMan replied to BigDaddyJoe's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Well ... to me, this begs the bigger question of just what we are willing to do to be successful in our journey. So, let me start off by saying, I'm not judging anybody, we all have our own journeys and our reasons for following that path. OK, that being said, the foods that you talk about are the processed, out of the box variety where you don't have much control over the content. It has been these types of products which attributed to my obesity. Bottom line for me, is I prepare pretty much all of my foods from scratch. Just started making my own yogurt after I took a long look at the ingredients. HOLY COW! When did yogurt become junk food? I missed that one. I'll have the occasional Protein shake (Premier), which I approve of the ingredient list. I do have salad dressings which are higher in fat than I would like, but I gotta have my blue cheese. I didn't get the sleeve to restrict my menu, just my portions. When I prepare all of my food, I know what is going in and I can control the amounts. I know a lot of people are going to jump up and down saying, "It takes too long ... I don't know how to cook healthy meals ... It's only me eating and I don't want it to go to waste." Here is what I say to that ... I am a parent of two young kids who is a Scout leader and work well over 50 hours a week. I also have other side projects which take my time. All of the recipes I cook with are available on the internet with instructions. I cook huge portions and toss the leftovers into jelly jars which I take out on my way to work or pull out for dinner. You can have total control over what you put into your body. If you do this, then you don't really need to worry about eating the one-off packaged meal. -
What To Eat On Cruise 30 Days Post Op?
marfar7 replied to daisychains7's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've been on 3 cruises since being banded 2 1/2 yrs ago. The first one, I actually lost a couple of pounds! The dining room always has a healthy choice at every meal - and their portions aren't huge (I couldn't finish one, but I felt stupid asking for a doggy bag!). For breaskfast every morning, we went to the buffet and I ate oatmeal, eggs, and yogurt. You'll get so sick of the sight of food that it won't look that great by day 3! Good luck to you! Have fun!

What do you eat each day?
vickyd replied to Wheeler5051's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Here is a typical day for me: Breakfast - 1/2 cup egg beaters, 1 slice 2% American cheese, 1 turkey sausage patty (scrambled with Pam) other common breakfasts are: greek yogurt, oatmeal (1pkg made with light soy milk), or a Protein shake (if I'm tight in the morning or in a hurry) lunch - 3-4 oz lean protein, 1/2 cup non-starchy veggies (usually leftovers from dinner) other common lunches are: frozen meatballs with low sugar marinara sauce or 1 cup salad with 3-4 oz protein. dinner - same as lunch for the most part. Snacks - Lately, I have found that I am having trouble getting in enough calories each day (1,000-1,100) so I usually add 2 snacks each day even though I'm not hungry. My normal morning and afternoon snack are normally either light string cheese or babybel light cheese. -
I am 5 months post op with about 8 cc's in my band. Although I still feel no real restriction I have found myself vomiting a lot of stuff I could tolerate prior to my last fill. The 1st week following my fill was fine .. no issues, no restriction, but no vomiting either. I guess I should clarify the vomiting is usually related to being stuck. It can happen on bite 1 or bite 4 and it seems to have not started until the 2nd week post fill. Yesterday was beef stroganoff.. chewed real well and just a few bites before I was in agony and stuck.. today a hamburger patty, no bread .. again tiny bites, not overcooked, melted cheese for moisture .. no go. Lunch I stuck w/ greek yogurt which is never an issue but a boarderline slider I think.. Tonite even a 1/2 cup of chicken salad took forever and was not comfortable but did not come up. I'm thinking chicken salad is moist, pretty chopped up. Am I in need of an unfill? I feel like I should be able to eat solids and not have to live on mushies.

Restriction vs Vomiting
Jachut replied to kassy_360's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ugh, bananas - IMPOSSIBLE for me to eat with any fill. I could eat an apple with the skin more easily than a banana. There is no rhyme nor reason to what our bands will tolerate. I couldnt eat easily bananas, yogurt, ice cream, juice, milk, but I could easily eat bread, steak, raw carrot and salads. -
Hi everyone! I'm three weeks out and have been really enjoying watermelon! Since I'm still on mushies, I make a protein shake each morning with protein powder, nf plain Greek yogurt, frozen fruit (berries, bananas, peaches, whatever) and fresh spinach or kale and sometimes carrots. It's delicious! I can never finish the whole serving so I save the rest for my afternoon 'boost'.

Probiotics For Constipation?
Chelenka replied to gamergirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try adding some fat to your diet as well. I eat avocado and use olive oil. The activia greek yogurt has too much sugar if you buy the flavored kind. I haven't seen it plain. I like Fage 2% myself. -
I told my nutritionist that I was willing to use artificial sweeteners for recovery, but not beyond. (I am persuaded that my Diet Pepsi addiction helped get me to where I am, and after weaning myself off of it, I find the aftertaste repellent.) She was not interested in discussing sweeteners or my preference for a whole foods approach to weight loss, which makes me wonder how current her training is. However, the bariatric nurse assured me I would be back on whole foods quickly, and it was truly the best thing to do for my health. So I won't be stuck in sugar free, fat free, fake food land forever. While not everyone is sensitive to the biota-changing effects of fake sweeteners, I will discourage my kids from using them, even though their father, who shared my 20-year diet Pepsi habit, is thin and still fits into his high school jeans. Getting them to take Probiotics is a tougher nut to crack! They'll eat fermented sauerkraut and pickles, though -- and occasionally kombucha and yogurt. They are not fans of kimchi and miso.

Protein Powders, best taste, little or no after-tsete? Suggestions, please?
Swanton_Bomb replied to Schnauzer3's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
We have the best intentions to stock up and prepare before surgery, but learn from my mistake and don't buy too much. I found Premier Protein the most palatable, I bought a metric shiz-ton of it, and now I have to hope that I can return it because your tastes change and I can't stomach it. Many people like Premier Protein, especially when mixed in coffee. I've been making my own with Greek yogurt and Fairlife milk. Fairlife milk is really helpful to have on hand, it has more protein and less sugar than regular milk, it is lactose-free and it tastes like regular milk. I've been using it to thin out other products that are too sweet and to use instead of water to give things a protein boost. -
