I'll be 6 days postop on Christmas. Doctor said I could try yogurt and cottage cheese by day 4, will try later today. If that goes well, would it be okay to try some thinned mashed potatoes or yams, or.. something usually served for the holiday?

TheDefiler54770 replied to TheDefiler54770's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Thanks everyone. 12 days to go! Doing liquid diet for 2 weeks to shrink liver so I got a tub of Phood Meal Replacement powder, and some Soup, yogurt, v8, juice, and oatmeal. I'm starving.....lol. It's all worth it though. :-) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Tomorrow is the big day! (Kaiser Richmond, CA)
kc13 replied to kc13's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I ended up staying two nights in the hospital with them considering keeping me for a third, however it was up to me if I wanted to stay or not. Only Ativan would work for me and luckily mid day yesterday everything clicked and I felt much better. They sent me home with liquid Ativan and I did okay eating stage two today. Yogurt went down a lot better than cream of chicken though! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Day Two and Feeling Good -- Too Good?
Carrie1122 replied to SeattleSleever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Total disconnection between the head and tummy. And totally had issues with any type of liquid for 2/3 weeks. Today is my 1 month anni! I can drink normal. And I lived on yogurt for full liquids. I just took milk and watered it down and made freezy pops. Worked well with gas issues. I did the same thing with Jello. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Cannot eat certain foods after 2 years!?
erp replied to Beedee90's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What foods can you eat? Do you track and measure your food? There are still many healthy foods left. Dairy: Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt; milk and low fat cheeses. Soft meats- crockpot chicken, seafood, scrambled eggs, etc. Veggies: Have you puréed veggies into soups? Are green juices tolerable? What veggies can you eat and how do you prepare them? Do you eat grains, pasta, carbs? What kinds and how much? -
I am getting 60-65. I don't drink shakes anymore. I can't tolerate them. They make me so sick. I eat cottage cheese, eggs, Greek yogurt, GENEPRO Protein powder, chicken , salmon and fair life milk. How much did your Dr tell you to get in? Are you on normal foods yet? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Why is weight loss a one size fits all scenario here? Different goals call for different approach
Clementine Sky replied to Tootsietoes's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
There are fairly standard guidelines that most bariatric patients are instructed to follow, but it's ultimately your prerogative what you decide works the best for you and the goals you've set for yourself. I was sort of a DIY patient since I had the VSG in Mexico, so I looked at the information reputable bariatric centers (Mayo Clinic, Stanford, Emory, UCLA) had posted beforehand because I didn't know how much I'd receive from my surgeon's office. I read enough horror stories about people having severe problems with eating foods too soon post-op to overcome the head hunger I experienced at first (bizarre cravings for things I never would have wanted otherwise) and follow the post-op plan precisely. Once it was no longer a matter of safety, but success, I made a few modifications. I'll have frozen yogurt, popcorn, whatever - in moderation, sparingly. I have been very careful about alcohol because even when I was heavy, I was a lightweight in that respect. Others can handle far more. I've never sought permission or validation for any of my choices from this forum. If I had, I probably would have received criticism for some of my choices, and would have expected it. We don't know one another. We can't know about a stranger's personality or physicality to be able to offer up tailored information, so instead one-size-fits-all tends to be what's given. It's up to each of us to then decide if it fits us. -
Two days post OP and I'm at home.
mylighthouse replied to Caleia's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The unflavored protein powder is fantastic. You can add it to broth, Soups, yogurt and so many other things. You can also add it to your drinks... Powerade Zero, Crystal Light, etc. I had some in my decaf iced tea today and in my decaf coffee. I encourage you to get the protein powder especially if you aren't able to do the protein shakes. Lots of protein powders out there. I use unjury and I like it a lot. -
Two days post OP and I'm at home.
laceemouse replied to Caleia's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It is very common for your taste buds to change after surgery. They may go back to normal over time or not. When I went to my surgeon for my 1 week post-op check up I was really struggling to get even one shake down a day. I am 7 weeks out and still struggle with getting 60-70 grams of Protein each day. I get close on my Water requirements but even that is hard. Water is you number one priority now, sip, sip, sip. Try water at different temperatures, I prefer very cold but others prefer room temp. If you get dehydrated you will experience even more nausea. Watch out for signs of dehydration like dark urine. As far as the protein I don't know what to tell you. I tried a hundred different kinds of shakes and they are all gross to me. I could get one down a day those first few weeks if I sipped a little several times a day. I also had a yogurt each day. It will get better over time but I took me a long time to feel better. Most people seem to be great after a few days. I don't get it at all. If you really get concerned call your surgeon. Many people have success adding Protein powder to pudding, etc. The fruity Protein Shakes are easier for some to get down. Just keep trying everything. -
I don't think I'm doing this right
CherCare replied to julie74601's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You might try Oikos Triple Zero yogurt. 15 grams of Protein, 120 cals, no added fat or extra sugars other than those naturally occurring. Even has 9 grams of Fiber. I've only been able to find 2 flavors, but some of the other flavors sound delish Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Unflavored protein powder- what do you do with it?
theantichick replied to funkifiknow's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If mixing it into a hot liquid, you will probably find that it clumps up and gets nasty. I found if you mix it (preferably with a blender) into warm Water or milk first and then mix THAT into the hot liquid, it works really well. I used regular bouillon cubes that way when I got sick of sweet cold stuff post-op. I personally don't like the texture change when mixing it with puddings and yogurts and stuff, but I'm super-sensitive to texture. It didn't seem to change the taste at all, which is what most people focus on. You can even mix it into regular cold drinks to boost the Protein, it just usually makes them cloudy and sometimes a little thicker. -
Unflavored protein powder- what do you do with it?
mylighthouse replied to funkifiknow's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I used my unflavored Protein powder during the full liquid stage in chicken broth, cream of celery Soup and yogurt. On the pureed stage, you can mix it in cottage cheese, yogurt, nonfat refried Beans, Soups, etc. Right now I am on the soft food stage and I am using it quite a lot in my decaf coffee and decaf iced tea to give myself some extra calories and protein that I needed. You can also mix it in other drinks like Crystal Light and Powerade Zero. Unflavored protein powder is awesome! -
Exactly what is included in full liquids
JamieLogical replied to julie74601's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You should consult your surgeon or nutritionist if you weren't provided a list. For me full liquids included protein shakes, yogurt, and strained cream soups. You need to tough it out with the protein shakes or find one you can palate. They will be your primary source of protein until you are on solid foods and maybe even beyond that. It is critical for you to get all of your protein in. Especially while you are healing. -
Exactly what is included in full liquids
theantichick replied to julie74601's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Most doctors provide a list of what they consider part of the "full liquid" phase. For my doctor, it included anything that was liquid at room temperature without chunks - so pudding and Jello (sugar-free) were included as well as greek yogurt. Any Soups without noodles or vegetables or other solid chunks, and all broths, bouillons, etc. and of course the Protein shakes and drinks. When I got tired of the sweet, I found that I could add unflavored protein to bouillon by mixing it with warm Water in my bullet blender before stirring it into the hot bouillon. That was a nice change from the sweet and cold stuff for me. -
Newbie story & vitamin question
catwoman7 replied to rodeorobin's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I take Centrum chewables (or the generic equivalent like CVS's) and they're fine. For calcium, I mix Upcal D (a powder) into my morning yogurt. Later in the day I usually have a couple of Bariatric Advantage calcium chews which are pretty good (they come in several flavors) - or occasionally I'll have a Calcet Creamy Bite - also very good but 40 calories each, so they're just an occasional treat. -
I'm better as well. Walking and walking in the city now. But now 8 days post and I get the cramps every time I eat or drink something. Quite disturbing. Not sure if I am full or not. I'm doing shakes with mango/blueberry and yogurt + protein powder at the moment in few days I will start the purée food if everything went well without problems. Looking forward to the scrambled eggs!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Glad to hear you are doing better@ sunsetsue... on the other hand, I ate 1 scrambled egg for first time last night. OMG IT TASTED LIKE A STEAK. However, my sleeve went into a violent uproar and up it came. I was like noooo. So back to Greek yogurt I go. I hope this will pass because I like eggs but my new baby stomach has said no

Get some unflavored Protein powder - I have GENEPRO & unjury chicken. I add the chicken flavors to chicken broth or Soups. The genepro mixes in other soups (be careful of the temperature), yogurts, cottage cheese, puddings, coffee, teas too. Try adding the Premier Protein (4 ounces) into some coffee and Fairlife protein milk is also good. I'm almost 3 Months out and these have helped me meet my protein goals. smoothie king also has a gladiator protein that I enjoy on occassion. I have tried the nectar protein but don't care for them very much. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

some of the sugar in yogurt is lactose - i.e., milk sugar. Even plain yogurt has that. So i wouldn't worry about it if it's a small amount - it may just be the lactose (I think at some point companies are supposed to separate out added sugar on those nutrition labels so people know. also, not everyone dumps (in fact, most people don't), and for those who do, the amount of sugar that it takes for them to dump varies quite a bit. Some really can't eat much at all - others can eat a moderate amount before it sets them off.

No more shakes!
Miss Impala replied to Polarbearwifey's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@Polarbearwifey I am trying to add it to things to beef up the Protein. For example, back then it was Egg Drop Soup. These days it is Wendy's Chili. That is working very effectively. But not yogurt. I eat that just by itself. I am supposed to get between 80-100 grams of protein in a day. 11/11/16: HW 380 11/28/16: Duodenal Switch Surgery 11/28/16: SW 374 lbs 12/19/16: CW 346 lbs -
Greek yogurt would be the best preference to go with. Less calories and more Protein Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I'm worried about dumping with the sugar in it. Sent from my Y538 using the BariatricPal App Chobani yogurt has "Chobani 100" which comes with fewer grams of sugar and fewer calories.
