There is something about Greek yogurt that is so beneficial...
-
I was banded on the 7th of May. I have a protein shake in the morning and usually yogurt for my two snacks. I have been eating Lean Cuisines for lunch. I went out to dinner for my birthday and had about a 1/3 of a hamburger and that was it. I can't say I get full but I am not hungry. I have started losing weight now that I am getting around 1000 calories in. When I was only eating 500 to 600 calories I didn't lose any weight. I was bummed.

I had my RNY on Tuesday, and am tolerating liquids ok. I was also able to mix 1/2 scoop of Protein shake powder with 8oz of Water, and sipped 1oz every 15 minutes, as advised by my surgeon. However, when I tried a teeny bit of yogurt, I had heartburn for 3 hours. I have to crush up my Nexium and anxiety medicine, and the taste literally makes me heave when mixed with water or Crystal Light. So that's why I tried the yogurt. I literally had maybe 1/4 of a teaspoon. So now I'm not sure when to try it again. I'm also finding that a few of my incisions are starting to itch. They were closed and a medical glue put over them, and I will not scratch them, but it's becoming more difficult not to. I hope tomorrow to have the courage to try one of the Bariatric Pal Soups, since I'm supposed to be able to try strained cream soups. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BariatricPal

Hi everyone, hope you all are doing well. I have a few things I wanted to ask those who are where I am or beyond that may have experience with the same issues. My day of surgery I was allowed nothing by mouth. The next day I was allowed 1 oz of water per hour. Then starting yesterday for 2 weeks I'm allowed full liquids. Yesterday I mixed protein shake in my Greek yogurt because I'm told everything must be the consistency of milk and able to roll off the spoon. I maybe was able to take in 4 bites of yogurt, and drank half a premier protein and water all day yesterday. Today I haven't "eaten" anything. I've been sipping water and sucked on 2 sugar free popsicles (surprisingly felt great). What is everyone else doing at this time? As far as how I feel....I'm in Pain but not really taking much medication. My abdomen is extremely swollen especially my left side which is also bruised and very swollen. I'm dizzy intermittently which tells me I need more water. How long does it take for the swelling in the abdomen to decrease. I guess I need reassurance that what I'm experiencing is normal.

Snacks for Movie Theatre Ideas?
Alex Brecher replied to reachbree's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@reachbree, Since you mentioned Slurpees, it made me think of: can you ask for a cup of shaved ice/ice chips (like a snow cone or slurpee) and add your own Water flavoring enhancer like Crystal Light or Mio drops? Single-serve sugar-free pudding cups could work, although yogurt is generally healthier. I would think carefully before snacking during movies. It may be that it keeps the movie fun for you and you can keep the snacking to a carefully planned snack. However, it could also be that it perpetuates a bad habit and leads to over-eating, since a movie is so long and each small snack only lasts for a few minutes. Everyone’s different, so it’s up to you and what you think is best for yourself. -
What to eat on "full liquid" fase?
Kindle replied to BackToHot's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I was told anything that would pass through a straw (but not to use the straw. I had protein shakes, water, propel zero, tea, drinkable yogurt (highly recommended by my nut) and I added Unjury protein powder to every kind of broth and creamed soup I could find....diluted and strained the cream soups. -
Calories and protein at almost 3 weeks

Can you add unflavored Protein powder to your yogurt and broth? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I HATE broth!!!
Starwarsandcupcakes replied to Dajshadenee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Campbell’s well yes sipping soups (no chunks to strain!) thinned a bit were lifesavers for me even though I like broth. Also, try a no sugar added sorbet or frozen yogurt. FYI- pudding and jello are on the full liquid diet (along with things like milkshakes for non-WLS patients) because they have a tendency to become liquid if left out at room temperature which makes them easier to digest and swallow (important for those with dysphagia [trouble swallowing]). -
I've had my second fill. I guess it was on the 10th. So two weeks ago. I have noticed a huge difference in what I can and can't eat. I get that golf ball feeling way more often. I would say at least once a day if not more often. I'm still hungry quite often. But I guess that's normal. At some point you are supposed to be, right? I eat a good dinner and occasionally have a yogurt or something like that as an evening snack. When I wake up I have some v8 fusion and some Protein stuff and a cup of coffee. I am NOT a Breakfast person. Never have been. So it shouldn't surprise me that by 10:30-11:00 I'm hungry. I think that really is the only time I'm "starving." The rest is head saying I should eat. I don't know. I sometimes think that I shouldn't have gotten this fill. I should have waited a bit longer. I have more head issues at this point than hunger ones. That's my experience.

Tell me about your progression of foods...
numeby2017 replied to LisaMergs's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Lol. Yes I though the about that later like what was I thinking, but luckily it was ok. It was actually so refreshing to have something fresh like that, so used to yogurt, Beans, cottage cheese, tuna, eggs. It was a nice change. Sent from my KFSAWI using the BariatricPal App -
Hi there, it sounds like you are doing well with your new banded life. I am enjoying a Protein and fruit shake most days around 11:00 or so. I'm not hungry in the morning. Today I skipped the Protein Shake because I knew I would be having lunch with my parents at a retirement center. Sometimes when I'm there I have a thick soup but today it was tomato and I don't like that plus it's thin, so I had a small bowl of cottage cheese and broccoli. I came home and ate a protein bar (200 calories 20 grams of protein -- the 20 that I missed out on by not having my shake). Dinners are whatever I am cooking for the family but just a little of it. If I'm hungry beforehand (usually, as I haven't quite got my timing down right), I might have some applesauce with a dollop of plain yogurt or something like that. I've been making chilis and stews and those seem very band-friendly. I like chicken thighs and will probably be making those next. I do them in stock so they are really falling apart. Last night I had the hungries after dinner and I had a Popsicle. That seemed to appease me.

Need breakfast ideas, sick of eggs and protein shakes
Kindle replied to NMJG's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Google Protein pancakes. You'll get a bunch of recipes. I haven't tried any yet, but it might be on my menu next weekend. Haven't really looked at the nuts,yet, so they may have too many carbs.... Actually, I've got Bob's Red Mill organic whole wheat pancake mix I might just add extra egg whites and unjury unflavored to and see how it turns out. Maybe make the pancakes thin, almost like a crepe and roll them up with Greek yogurt or cream cheese. That would cut the carbs a little. Mmmmmm. Now I'm hungry. Might not wait till next weekend.... And I know it's eggs, but Huevos Rancheros minus the tortilla has been a favorite of mine since puréed stage. I also mix turkey sausage, cheese and spinach in my eggs for a yummy scramble. -
I was on soft foods by 3 weeks although every doctors office seems to be different. I ate a lot of yogurt, cottage cheese, chicken breast cut up very small and very juicy, fish such as salmon also not dried out, I was a,so eating cooked vegetables. I don't like canned vegetables so I either did fresh or frozen but cooked until very tender. I remember having to take things extremely slow at that time or I would get chest pain. Every week, things will get better and better. Good luck on the next phase of your diet.

While perhaps boring, my breakfast is quick and healthy. I have an 80 calorie yogurt with 3 teaspoons of grape nuts. Fills me up and I really love it. -
Need breakfast ideas, sick of eggs and protein shakes
terry1118 replied to NMJG's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I'm still not tired of protein shakes. I like to drink my breakfast. Later in the morning I like my Greek yogurt mixed w/either chopped pecans or Bear Naked protein granola. I sometimes make mini quiches - my favorite has onions, peppers, chopped ham and cheddar. As someone mentioned, non-traditional foods for breakfast are good and interesting. I've had my chili when I wanted something more substantial. :-) -
Need breakfast ideas, sick of eggs and protein shakes
NMJG posted a topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I really need some Breakfast ideas. I am low carb so i don't do Cereal. I can't eat eggs every day and I do Protein shakes 3-4 times a week since it is easy. Yogurt is a common breakfast, too. Ideas, people? -

Whats for dinner tonight?
Teka2011 replied to jaymi2521's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Gen, it went well! 2 small shrimp and a bite of the yogurt I was full and happy lol -
I definitely know what you mean! I’m 5 days out from my sleeve and it’s so weird not being hungry. Of course I would love to chow down on a ribeye and loaded potato but obviously that’s mental hunger. It is kind of weirding me out. Today was my first day back to work and all I’ve had is a protein shake, a half a portion of broccoli cream soup, a popsicle, and a half a single container of yogurt. And I’ve still got to get 10 more grams of protein and almost 15 ounces of fluid before I go to sleep. It’s a weird feeling to physically not be able to eat anymore when we are so used to eating way too much with ease. Good luck and let me know if you come up with any tricks! Haha

June 2014 Sleevers Check In!
Patricks_Downsizing replied to SnohoGal98296's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was tired of the Protein shakes the day after discharge. I have tried yogurt, cheese and eggs, soup and today a little tuna, the jury is still out on the tuna. I also ate some Peanut Butter with half a banana. It gets old quick. My concern is that I am eating right at 4oz but haven't pushed it to see how much I can tolerate. I'm full after one bite of anything so it's hard to read my body as far as being full. Best of luck to you!! i know what you mean about reading the fullness. I know in early out but I find that even with purée foods in not sure when I'm full since I wasn't very hungry to start with. I am looking forward to eggs, cheese, and tuna. -

Help! Everything makes me sick!
Pac-woman replied to Browneyedgirl818's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
@@Browneyedgirl818 - My Twin! Where have you been! lol I am at 3 weeks post op and I know exactly how you feel. I can't take another Protein shake and chicken broth for the life of me. I am on the pureed stage which means NOTHING, because everything in a blender grosses me out apparently. I have my first follow up with my surgeon tomorrow. I am going to ask him what's up with all this nonsense of mine? Plus I can barely make it to 400 calories a day. Nevermind the 64oz of Water. So far, this is what I have discovered: cheese on eggs gross me out (for now) My new tummy doesn't care for ham Cottage Cheese is okay, if I put honey on it. Still I can only eat about 1 tablespoon of it. Desperate attempt to blenderize mac and cheese and that was a HUGE mistake. lol Swallowed one crouton thinking, no harm- no foul, HAHAHA, yeah right. Crouton was stuck for a long while. Shrimp taste funny to me. (I hope that changes) Home made mash potatoes (i made for dinner for my loved one and I tasted a pinch of it) tastes nasty to me. I baked cupcakes for my BF job and I don't care for the smell of batter and icing is nasty Deviled Ham is cat food Shredded buffalo chicken (deli meat) gives me heartburn Quest Bar- Apple pie is awesome (having for dinner right now) I was only able to eat 1 oz of baked tilapia before it got stuck going down. Decaf coffee is okay Premier Protein chocolate shake is nasty to me because of the thickness. I discovered I prefer 1 % milk over 2% milk Lipton Black Iced tea sugar free has been my savior Lifesavers has also saved me a few time from low sugar Greek yogurt is NOT my thing. ugh. Diabetic Dannon light yogurt is okay Refried Beans is not my thing Popsicles- cherry only I can go on, but can you tell my desperate attempts in the kitchen? I know when I am able to eat solids, it will be much better. But for right now, dog biscuits look tempting. lol So I understand you completely. -
I like dannon light n fit Greek yogurt. Many flavors. toasted coconut or vanilla may be less sweet for you. I love the Carmel apple pie, pumpkin pie, and fruit on the bottom flavors but, they may be too sweet. 80 caories, 12g protien, 9 carbs, 0 fat
