Hemp Hearts! Taste like supper soft and chewy sunflower seeds. I add to my greek yogurt as well as to salads. 10 grams of protien for 3 TBS ... a little pricey in the calories but I really love the stuff!

hey shelly, i'm impressed that you're getting so much Protein in so soon. i'm still on Clear Liquids, and there's only so much broth and protein Water i can have. i get really tired in the afternoons but i hope that will change once i start having Soups, Protein shakes and yogurt in the next couple of days. the first few days were fairly tolerable... not too much shoulder pain or gas. but today, i feel so gassy and my stomach has gotten really bloated. thankfully i still have little shoulder pain! the gas and bloating makes me feel like i'm pregnant. walking and gas x aren't helping like they used to. i hope this will pass soon!!!

Day 2 Post Op And Need Help!
cheryl2586 replied to mommyvega3's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
at two days post op I would not be eating anything that can fall off a spoon. If your doctor said stay on liquids yogurt or other consistancys do not fall in that catagory. Stay on what your doctor said. -
Are you taking an antibiotic post op?I got thrush in my mouth post op but I was taking antibiotics for 10 days post op.Do get some meds for the thrush but start taking some sort of live culture (pills you can open and take directly on your tongue if you are not eating yet.)There is also drinking yogurt with live cultures in them that should help.

i am not eating to much protein a day
Sweettoothless replied to mejsara's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was told that lack of protein would slow weightloss. Buy a flavorless protein powder and mix it into Fair Life brand milk. Fair Life brand milk has 13g of protein in one cup. And lower sugar. Or you can mix the protein powder into yogurt. Some brands have low sugar yogurt (I avoid the diet sugar yogurts because I hate the taste now). Your food portion should be tiny right now I think 1/4 cup so use a measuring cup to keep the portion controlled until you heal. If you cant tolerate milk you can even add protein powder to water. For sure drink more water so you can flush out the fat. Also, stalls and long stalls are normal just focus on healing and nourishing yourself. -

Ya I have some powders from Nector that I really like, they are 28g then with the Greek yogurt it bumps it up to 40g or more. I usually just add a little water or you could do skim milk too. I use a variety of the frozen fruits. They work for me! -

butterflypinup replied to Bluesea71's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Welcome Heidi. You have come to the right place for sharing or should I say over sharing. Lol. I think anything goes in here since we are all in it together and here to support. New thing for me. Let Greek yogurt get room temperature. Add 3oz Water so it's thinner than a milkshake and eat. 5 times a day. 60 Protein and extra 15 oz Fluid. I'm going to get bored soon. I just need the food dreams to stop. Lol Just keep swimming swimming swimming. -
1 week until 3 week post-op diet, any suggestions?
Jersrose43 replied to finallyfree101's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
7 weeks?!? Wow god bless you During purée I ate cottage cheese, yogurt, chicken and pork and turkey in my cuisinart and added liquids to make it a little purée The pork I gotta say I added BBQ sauce just a little so I could get the taste. -
I never counted fat grams at all. During the weight loss phase, I counted protein and, after the first 3 or 4 months (when I could eat more), I started watching overall calories. I do intentionally eat some fat now (like full-fat yogurts, avocado, etc) because it keeps me full. But again, I watch my calories.

You know that I adore you, but it's NOT the best option. That was my point along, and somehow this entire thread got blown out of proportion. Gatorade has sugar, PLUS electrolytes. Greek yogurt has calories, carbs and Protein. I drank regular gatorade because I needed the calories as well.. The point is that you can eat it. Should you, not really, or are there better options out there that can give you sustained energy along with nutrients, YES!

I froze the greek yogurt after I added sugar free pudding powder or Torani sugar free syrup. It's not ice cream, but it's close. I would mix whatever flavor I wanted, divide it out into ice cube trays, cover it in plastic wrap, and freeze overnight. Pop a couple of a cubes out (2-3 cubes is 2-3ounces), and have a dessert type treat when I wanted them. It kind of shaves off instead of being super creamy when frozen, but it sure beats the heck out of ice cream for nutrient and Protein content. There are also several recipes out there for "protein ice cream". I know the blog "The World According to Eggface" has several protein based dessert recipes. I personally never used her recipes because I developed a whey intolerance and soy Proteins suck. Hope that helps give some alternatives. I used greek yogurt mixed with all sorts of stuff to avoid eating junk food. I pretty much just threw stuff in there and experimented until I got it right. It took some trial and error to find what would work, but those alternatives worked to keep me on track.

FOR ME,,, this surgery was about changing former bad habits as well as eating less. Lets not pick each other apart, lets us best support one another to do what is right for each of is. Truth is you can cheat the sleeve by putting down high calorie, high carb, high fat food. Did any of go through this surgery to fail?????? The sleeve is not a miracle, it is a tool. We still have a life time of better food choices ahead of us. As my surgeon put it, sweets are slippery slope! I personally had my fist piece of ice cream b day cake in a over year, and well because I restricted myself the first 8 months it was not even appealing any more, Give me some fresh fruit and Greek Yogurt!

ESG Progress Updates For Accountability
AmyAlexis replied to hope4momof4's topic in Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty Forum
Hi Bubbles, I thought I responded to this last night via my phone but guess it didn't take. Here's a snapshot of a recent day of food: Bfast: 4oz Fage Greek Yogurt with 1oz blueberries. I add a bit of real vanilla and stevia. Snack- protein shake (Atkins. 15gms protein) Lunch: 4oz 1% Friendship cottage cheese. Snack: 1 tbsp cashew butter Dinner: 1 turkey burger patty (around 2.5oz cooked). I like Shady Brook Farms but Trader Joes frozen burgers are pretty good. 1/4 cup spinach or 2oz brussel sprouts Snack: Protein shake Total cals are usually around 800/day. I am walking on Treadmill but not enough- must. get. on. today. Waiting to go back to boxing 2x week after I have my one month followup with doc next week. She has to give the go ahead. -
ESG Progress Updates For Accountability
AmyAlexis replied to hope4momof4's topic in Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty Forum
(note - I posted this in the wrong area, and have no idea how to delete that) Hi everyone! I've been on a work project and away from home for about a week so have been totally negligent on posting - Hope, did you have your procedure? You said it was Feb 6 but I haven't seen an actual post that you did it and how you are feeling and doing? I've been doing well- down 26.5lbs since the Nov 8 procedure, and 5.5lbs away from my goal. Just saw my doc for our 2nd post op visit and she said I've lost 16% of my weight in the 3 months and doing great! Also got blood work follow up done. Getting results in now and should hear from her soon on that. I can see that my cholesterol is still high- so I expect some meds in my future. My daily foods have remained pretty consistant. Yogurt/blueberries for Breakfast (and coffee), then a Protein Shake. lunch over the last week has been salad with grilled chicken - but the diff is, that I bought the big salad and it lasted for 4 lunches rather than 1 or 2. Have also added a nightly snack of Halo Top - but instead of the whole pint, I measure out 4oz and it's plenty and satisfying. So, all seems to be working in terms of satisfaction and fullness - but I still weigh everything when I can to keep me honest - since I don't trust my eyes Glad to see everyone doing so great! Shout outs toTex and Mel, and Luv who appears to be new since I've been here last. AmyA -
HELP! Hating all protein shakes
biginjapan replied to mxpxchik11's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Are you drinking ready made shakes, or are you making your own from powder? I've never liked the ready made ones, although I could tolerate them pre-op. Post-op, no way. However, I make my own shakes with protein powder, and they are so much better! FWIW, I'm using Syntrax powders, both vanilla bean/chocolate torte for regular shakes made with unsweetened almond milk and either unsweetened greek yogurt or half a block of tofu to thicken them up and add some extra protein. I also often add PB2 powder to the chocolate shakes because yum. I use a variety of their "juice" type nectar powders that mix really well with water. I'm 2.5 months post-op, but I've had no problem with my handmade shakes either pre- or post-op. -
Gastric Bypass lasted 5 hours due to scar tissue.
RhondaHigdon replied to RhondaHigdon's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well, I had just had 5 c-sectons, and in between those I had a tubal reversal. Which worked. I had 3 more children. Hence the 5 C-secions, 1 tubal reversal, Then I had a complete hysterectomy. Just so much scar tissue. I am sorry to hear that you have been so nauseated. I have been lucky as far as that goes. Only a little, a couple of times. I just did make me some of those ricotta cheese bake, and I was scared to death, but I just took my time and so far so good. I have had 2 of them. I'm scared to try anything else. I am such a picky eater. I don't like yogurt at all. I don't like tuna fish, which i can use the can chicken. Anyway, back to the surgery part when I woke up in recovery I felt like my stomach was on fire. I was begging the nurses for relief. I was in recovery for quite sometime. I don't know why, but all my Dr was giving me was Toradol and Tylenol. The following day that worked fine, but right out of surgery, not so much. Thanks for letting me know I wasn't a lone wolf.

I know this doesn't technically count because its breakfast & not dinner, but I had 1.5 eggs and a meatless sausage patty with a few ounces of Trop50 OJ. Felt like a real meal!! First "meal" I've eaten since surgery that wasn't just some chicken breast or yogurt, etc. it's the small victories -
