I think a lot if the artificial sweeteners make some of us, like me for sure...sick and splenda definitely leaved a bad taste in my mouth I can't get rid of I use natural stevia , experimented to find one I like lol and that helped if I really wanted something sweetened. I use g6 sports vanilla Protein powder sweetened with stevia. It's super clean, dissolved easily and, to me, tastes great. I put it in skim milk and sometimes add some fage Greek yogurt for more protein. The powder has 25grams if protein but it's a bit more expensive then most protein powders however if you have a GNC near, they give you a free membership and significant discount. Getting out . most artificial sweeteners brought my mouth, gut and stomach back to peace and I like my food...

Had gastric bypass Nov 7th 2016
daya replied to Mommyof4boys's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Nadinexx, is hard not to think about all the crappy food when all day every day you are surrounded by it. You just have to have the will power and tell yourself that this new lifestyle we have chosen is the best thing for us so we can be around for a long time. Speaking about chocolate if you really like it and don't want to feel awful about eating it buy the sugar free Chocolate pudding they are good and it also help you with your Protein intake, si is a not guilt pleasure. The Greek yogurt Damon Okios light or zero (I like the zero and all ways add a scoop of gene pro best thing ever it help your protein intake) not sure if you have the brand is also good. Don't worry you are not going crazy it's only been a few days since I have my surgery so am still in the full liquid diet. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Premiere shakes are NOT your best choice for this early out. I do NOT do milk based shakes either... Get some Syntrax or unjury if possible- like the chicken broth and DEFINITELY get some UNFLAVORED whey Protein powder. You can add it to anything- yogurt, crystal light drinks- sky is the limit.... But you want and NEED a good 100% PURE whey protein ISOLATE powder. It is your best bet for success. Those "protein blend" drinks are suspect. You don't know what percentage of what kind of protein you are actually getting. I WISH they would stop recommending Premiere to people!!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

20-40 grams per day if I'm on the high side it is because of yogurt. -
I'm having reversal from band to RNY on 22nd Nov. I start the milk diet on Monday and am allowed 3 pints of milk and 2 yogurts daily. The problem is that I hate (with a vengeance) yogurt. Do you think it would be ok to have a non dairy no sugar coconut yogurt (made from coconut milk) instead? I'm beginning to feel nervous too. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Gaining Weight after one year post sleeve! PLEASE HELP!
Butterflywarrior replied to addygirl's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Im just about three weeks out and was always hungry and on a PPI. Weight not moving either direction probably bc I walk so much. Still fighting some psych eating issues for sure But I talked to Nut again and her advice was to watch calories closer. I thought I was doing a good thing with having my 25 gram Protein powder with 9 gram of protein fat free milk and 8oz of fage yogurt for another 23 oz of protein for breakfast!; And yes I could drink it all! But she said to much protein at once for the body to handle and a lot of calories si split it or subtract a ingredient She also put me on five meals a day ..small meals every 2.5-3 hours and said I could add in. Little slow burning carbs or light carbs like Melba toast or wasa crackers, brown rice, quinoa etc This has made a huge difference in hunger and I'm quickly satisfied. I still think I can eat more then four bites but still get full fast My big issue is emotionally eating at night when I can't sleep .. that's something I need help with so plan to talk to my therapist about it. Getting in enough fluids is also hard ..before surgery, I drank Water like a camel.... I walk at tge mall or a store for distraction and flat surface. I walk almost a hour most days. I did strain a stomach muscle so docs said gentle walking..ice gotten alot of energy sense surgery so trying to expend it. Anyways, I think the stomach can stretch a little but not a lot unless your making super bad choices. Also carbonation and drinking with a straw as well as chewing gum cab put unwanted air, pressure in the stomach..I accidentally drank with a straw tge other day and it was bad..my tummy was distended into the following day. I could be wrong, but this accidental experience makes me believe my surgeon saying the sleeve can stretch My five or ten cents... -
Try not to get discouraged, everyone loses weight differently. I am 5 1/2 months out from surgery and I usually eat around 600-750 calories a day and get between 50-80 grams of Protein. I track everything on my fitness pal and I definitely weigh and measure everything. If I'm going out to eat I will even bring my food scale with me. Everyone has different diets they are recommended by their surgeons and what they choose is the best option for them. I've found if I eat foods I like just in small portions I lose weight just fine. I get a lot of lower fat recipes from www.skinytaste.com www.emilybites.com and the weight watcher 5 ingredient magazine (the current weight watcher regular magazine has a great section on Thanksgiving and gives a bunch of interesting lower fat/calorie recipes to try) Be careful while looking at these recipes though and pay attention to serving size vs calories. Here are some sample days of meals I've had the last few days: Day 1 Breakfast-chobani simply 100 lemon meringue crisp Lunch-Fage 2% Greek yogurt with peach Afternoon snack: 11 oz Premier Protein vanilla drink Dinner: 1/2c Dina's tossed mushrooms from Skinny taste website with 2 oz chicken breast baked with some fat free Italian dressing Total calories: 537 Protein: 68 Day 2 Breakfast: chobani simply 100 blueberry cookie crumble Lunch: 2 oz thin sliced boars head buffalo chicken 3/4 oz white American cheese 1/2 a slice potato bread 1 oz pickle spear Snack: siggis raspberry yogurt Dinner: 1/2 delicata squash stuffed with chicken sausage and mushroom (from skinnytaste.com) After dinner snack: 1 square dark chocolate with spicy caramel Calories: 720 Protein: 62 Day 3 Breakfast: Siggis raspberry yogurt Lunch: 1 package heated up chicken Soup dumplings from Trader Joe's Snack: 11 oz premier protein vanilla Dinner: 1/2 cup chicken in red coconut curry with 1/4 cup jasmine rice Calories: 732 Protein: 74 I don't really exercise at all right now. I'm looking to get started but am still healing a bit from my gallbladder removal surgery and before that I was sick for months and never really got into a routine. I am planning on going to the gym more as I heal more. HW: 540 SW: 480 CW: 352 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Describe your meals and exercise please
highfunctioningfatman replied to MommyB's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Breakfast was 2 eggs with peppercrack cheese and green enchilada sauce. Lunch was 4 oz of shrimp with lemon juice and old bay seasoning and a slice of havarti cheese. Essentially a shrimp melt without the bread. I had 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and 1 tbsp so sugar free strawberry jam around 4. Dinner was an odd mix of pulled pork with homemade refried beans that had Greek yogurt as sour cream. I also had 90 oz of Powerade Zero mixed 50/50 with water and 24 oz of propel water. -
I am not as low weight as you guys but I knew I would lose slowly. I had surgery on Halloween. I think I had Soup twice, how do you have room for soup? I sip Water all day long and my surgeon has fussed at me for not getting the Protein in. Two shakes a day, water, and maybe a few bites of Jello or yogurt is all my sleeve has room for. Get your water and your protein in, all other eating for the first 5 or 6 weeks is for "fun" according to my surgeon.

I thought this thread was about the movie as well. Hehehehehe I am 12 days post op. I struggle to get my Protein shakes, Water, and a few bites of yogurt or Jello in each day. If I consume too much too quickly I feel ill immediately. Sure, a grilled cheese sandwich sounds delicious right now but I can't even imagine forcing down one swallow. My surgery went fine. I am feeling great. I just wonder how in the world someone would feel well enough 4 days post op to choke down half a sandwich?? I visited 2 surgeons before deciding which one to use. Both said the only time they have EVER had a person get a leak was when they ate something they weren't supposed to eat. One guy ate BBQ a week out. A leak can kill you, are at least land you in the hospital for weeks. I have to wonder if people just don't understand what the surgery entailed inside their body? I just imagine the line of staples in my stomach and food oozing out between them and free floating food in my body cavity and that is enough for me to not even consider it. Seriously, it takes me like an hour or more to get a Protein shake down. A half sandwich? I can't even............

How many Protein grams are you getting daily? Are you adding protein to your soups? You can eat ricotta cheese, mashed cottage cheese, yogurt, refried Beans...you can add unflavored protein to all of those. I haven't even looked at calories, but I started above your weight and have lost 68 lbs eating at least 80g protein daily, lots of Water and walking at least 30 mins 5 days/week. I'm 40-ish pounds from goal and although my weigh loss is slowing a bit, it's still coming off. Good luck, I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to not get the rapid weight loss most of us do.

Gaining Weight after one year post sleeve! PLEASE HELP!
TheCurvyJones replied to addygirl's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
The sleeve CAN stretch. My surgeon has done re-sleeves on patients whose stomachs have stretched. However it takes a concerted, long running effort. You have to really try really hard-- as in consistently abuse your sleeve-- in order for this to happen. What likely has happened is that the part of the stomach that is removed that produces Ghrelin-- not enough of it was removed so your hunger signals have come back. This is something you will want to have checked just to make sure. Don't guess. If you feel like you can eat a ton without feeling any restriction (and by that I mean dense Protein, not slider foods. Can you eat an 8oz yogurt or drink a 12 oz Protein shake with no problem? Can you pack in an entire piece of fish, eat a whole burger patty? Then your sleeve may have stretched) What a lot of people think is "I can eat a whole bag of doritos now, so my stomach is stretched!" Nope. Doritos turn to mush once you chew them up. Slides right out of your stomach, doesn't provide you with any satiety or sustenance and in a short amount of time you're foraging for food again. Secondly, excess acid production feels a lot like hunger. It's not always that burning feeling. Not to pander or placate but make sure it is not excess acid, either. If you're not on a PPI or have stopped taking it, get back on it. Lastly, nothing can help you but getting back on track. Kick it back to basics- protein, produce, lots of Water, move your tush. Give yourself some time to get your act together. You should see those lbs slowly start to come off. Regain is a natural part of the weight loss journey. DOn't let yourself feel down or depressed about it. Get mad and get that weight back off. You'll feel better once you're working at a new goal. -
Any ideas? Getting sick!
DuodenalSwitchMan replied to genn's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I ordered the Protein mix from the site, 30 grams in one tablespoon. I put it in my spit pea Soup tonight and I had no idea it was there. GENEPRO medical grade protein. Also, pre surgery up until the last two days I was allowed one meal with 4 oz chicken breast or turkey. And I had a lot of homemade jello! I used Costco's Premiere Protein, premixed and snuck a cup of nonfat Greek yogurt with chocolate Protein powder sprinkled on top of every spoonful, for variation. In Song, MarkieZ -
Gastric sleeve Nov 7
TheNewMe110716 replied to chiquiroxy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also had my surgery on the 7th. I am on semi liquid diet which includes yogurts, protien shakes, and puddings. Still getting stomach spasms here and there but the meds help. Also feel some pain in my chest/high stomach area at times, but I am pretty sure that is still some gas stuck in there. It's right where your ribs connect. Also still feeling alot of pain in my one incision. Thought this would be more like having a cesarean, but man was I wrong. Lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using the BariatricPal App -
Hi! I'm a November 7th sleever also! Actually this is my first post. I agree that the first day was by far the hardest. I was not expecting that gas pain to be that bad. I get to start puréed food on the 14th which I am looking forward to because I can only drink so much Isopure and yogurt. Best of luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Getting Bored with Full Liqiuds
carterbeauty83 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have 4 more days to be on liquids and full liquids. I'm getting so bored with the full liquids yogurt, cream soups, jello, pudding. Anyone have any full liquid ideas that would help make it more creative for me to eat??? I pray I can move to pureed next week. I have so many Pinterest ideas for pureed foods I can hardly wait to try them out. -
I did have a big win today - I can move to smooth foods I immediately went to KFC and got mashed potatoes. Only had maybe one spoonful, but it made all the difference. it tasted absolutely wonderful. I'm looking forward to cottage cheese, yogurt, creamy Soups. I'm taking it very very very slow, but it's nice to have something other than broth and Water.

8 months post-op and 12lbs to goal!
cdeisroth replied to cdeisroth's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Nothing special really, there's nothing I don't eat, but I mainly stay high Protein low carb. For example tonight's dinner is rotisserie chicken (no skin) and a green salad with tomatoes, cucumber, and onions (and ranch dressing) For lunch today I had a homemade Soup made with with chicken and veggies, I had a banana for a snack and yogurt and coffee for Breakfast. I eat between 800-1000 calories a day now, but I was under 700 until 2 months ago. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using the BariatricPal App -
I am being open, that's why I'm asking for help. I'm too tired to go for a walk. Not making excuses because last week I was walking a half mile. I just talked to the nutritionist and apparently I need 3 shakes a day! I was drinking 1 in addition to my meals. I eat Greek yogurt, quinoa, meats, eggs, cottage cheese, Beans, sugar free oatmeal, etc. I have been trying! She did say a few sugar free hard candies would be okay and to put away the baked chips. I need to get out the XBOX games! ???? I am a stress eater, a boredom eater, and this is very difficult! I find I don't miss sweets as much as I thought I would, just can't wait till the Protein bars to take their place. I want to sew more, but SO TIRED. I have things I need to do as well.... Hopefully I will get there. Sent from my SM-N900T using the BariatricPal App

@@Serena89 I understand that you might have gotten thrown into this because of your previous condition. But you have a plan from your doctor and you are choosing NOT to follow it. Also you state you are not to eat Protein bars until 12 weeks post op yet you are eating cheetos and candy. I know you want to do better and that is why you are reaching out for feedback. That being said, YOU have to take responsibility for YOUR behaviors. I get cravings because I have them every single day. That never goes away so you need to find constructive ways to deal with it and get your mind off of it. The most important thing is that if you eat what you are supposed to, it should keep you full and satisfied. If you are eating sugar and simple carbs, they raise your blood sugar and cause you to have more cravings and be hungry sooner. If i were on a fork tender diet, I would be eating fish, chicken and vegetables or eggs, cottage cheese, Beans and greek yogurt. These are things that will provide good protein, good carbs (not bad ones), keep you full longer and help you to lose weight. Also, I use Water and milk when I get cravings to keep them at bay. I try drinking lots and lots of water and that can make the craving go away. If that doesnt work, a simple cup of milk. It turns to a solid, provides excellent protein and fills you up for a while. My doctor required I drink a cup of milk in between each of my meals in the beginning. Lastly if you have cravings, go do something to keep you busy and your mind off of it. Do some crafts, go for a walk, read a book, take a nap. You should be drinking lots and lot of water and protein shakes. This will help get your strength back. If you are dehydrated, it is likely why you are feeling so tired. And if you ask for feedback be open to what you are going to hear. We are only trying to help you at your request. Be good to your body, it is the only one we are given. Best of luck to you.

Refried beans with a touch of greek yogurt and sprinkle of cheddar cheese. And a couple of mild jalapenos (very mushy). Sooooo good. -
I never stopped eating fruits and veggies. Always got 60-80g of Protein, but I made sure I got a little something from every food group (yes, including whole grains) every day. Diluted fruit juice and V8 during liquid stage, bananas and peaches in my Protein shakes, mashed cauliflower, puréed fruit and flax seed in my Greek yogurt during puréed stage, Whole grain cereals and milk during soft food. Stayed away from veggies like peas, corn and potatoes, but ate a ton of spinach, Brussel sprouts, kale, green Beans, carrots and broccoli. Apples, blueberries, watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple On a regular basis. I lost 160 pounds over 18 months. Would I have lost it faster without the fruits and veggies? Who knows. But I felt better giving my body the nutrition it needed.
