Clear Liquid Diet: Day 1
paramedic replied to missvee's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok all I'm on day 5 and I cheated - I am only allowed 4 Optifast things a day. I was desperate so I ate one Greek yogurt and had made chicken broth and out a egg in it like egg drop Soup. I figured egg not bad and yogurt only 80 caps and good for digestion - speaking of this - anyone else having the um bathroom issue (running to the bathroom- no pun intended ) it's gonna be a rough 9 more days - the family brought home pizza - smelled great - so they all laughed that I fed the cat and sniffed the cat food... Smelled bad and took mind off pizza Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I'm sorry you're having a hard time. When I left the hospital I was on "full liquids".....for me that included Protein shakes, greek yogurt, strained creamed Soups, milk (I like FairLife milk)..... And as far as the Protein Shakes shoot for one that has less than 200 calories per serving and I also make sure the carbs were low. Lots of folks use the Premier Protein.....you can get it at Walmart. Remember that you still need to be very careful with what kinds of food you choose to eat.....first and foremost make sure not to eat solid foods before you've healed.....and second you don't want to eat junk food that is high in calories otherwise the surgery won't do you any good at all. I agree with what others have said about you plan document being very broad.....you need something with lots more detail. You should be able to find something pretty easy by just doing a Google search for WLS post op diet plan. I wish you good luck!

I have to use Bariatric Advantage shakes for 12 days...3 times a day. I can also have 2 light high Protein yogurts and Clear liquids. Then the 2 days before surgery I will need to be on clear liquids only. I can't believe how different every surgeon is! Even within the practice I am going to!

Sleeved Aug 10, so whats that, eight or nine weeks ago. Absoutely no issues because I've been following the plan regarding to eating slow and stopping when I feel full. I have never ever felt nauseous or upchucked, which I believe is a blessing. My diet is extremely restrictive from what i read here for others. I'm basically allowed Protein, no veggies, no fruits and God forbid any carbs. I'm supposedly on soft, I rarely use a blender, I mush things up in my mouth. I'm sort of pickey eater, never liked cottage cheese and hate greek yogurt. I've had a challenging 2nd month with two fancy weddings and a vegas trip which I'm still on. My cheats have been twice I had regular light and fit strawberry yogurt, once I took a vegetable foo young and carefully sliced the fried top and bottom off, and last night for my daughters birthday, I had an ounce of really delicious red wine. Other cheats, I took a piece of cantaloupe with my egg yesterday, I also had to buy a grocery chicken salad in a pinch which had onions and had no issues. While I get my protein in, usally with the help of a Premier shake daily and genpro in my morning coffee, I eat pretty much the same thing. An egg or sometimes two for Breakfast, turkey and cheese roll up and chicken. Lord, is it getting boring. When home I'll cook up the ricotta bake. I know there are so many recipes out there and I promise to try more during October when I'll be able to cook at home each day. My daughter is pushing me to eat at a buffet tonight before we see our Cirque show. ugh. Although I can probably pick a nice piece of seafood from the buffet I'll be paying $60 for. lol I actually sat with her with a glass of Water at one buffet and it didn't phase me in the least, although sometimes, I am definitely hungry and my stomach lets me know. Bottom line, I have no regrets, this is more just a vent. Too bad I'm not into cooking anymore (I'm 62). the traveling is just a little difficult. I had no issues bringing my turkey rolls ups onto the plane. I had put some ice cubes in a ziplock to keep it cold for my 8 hour flights. -
People don't throw up or feel full on slider foods. Soups, noodles and yogurt are slider foods and you actually could eat an unlimited amount of those. They go through to the intestines like pouring Water through a funnel. When the nerves in your stomach heal and you start eating dense Protein you will feel restriction. It is very easy to out eat your surgery. The more food you eat, the slower you will lose. Concentrate on eating less, rather than more food.

Hi everyone. I'm Mel from London UK. I just had a bypass almost 2 weeks ago on the 14th September iv lost 11lbs which I am so so happy about but I'm not sure my bypass is working you might think I'm being ridiculous but I got sick of liquids so moved onto soft foods few days earlier than I was meant too because I got so bored of it. Iv been eating eggs I had 2 scrambled eggs this morning yesterday I had a Japanese Soup with soft skinny noodles and chicken took me 5 hours to eat it as I stopped and kept going back to it. I don't feel full to the point of I'm going to throw up is this weird? I ate a 90g pot of yogurt today even though I'm much slower than before but I managed to eat it and other people are saying I can only eat half a pot so how comes I am not feeling full to the brim? Sooo confused?? Sent from my SM-G901F using the BariatricPal App

A couple of posters have mentioned these -- Total Lean from GNC. They are my favorite too, and I want to note that they also sell Total Lean Natural. They sell a third one that I believe is vegan. The packages are nearly identical, so look closely, but the difference is that the "natural" one is sweetened with stevia rather than sucralose. To some people, stevia tastes much better, and some people get headaches from sucralose or (especially) aspartame. Long way of saying I'm another cheerleader for GNC Total Lean, natural edition (something tells me not much is natural about it...that's just what they call it), vanilla and chocolate. I keep a few packets on hand in case I have to mix one up during the day if I can't find appropriate food, but mostly I rely on big tubs of the powder that I keep at home. I rely on GENEPRO unflavored Protein powder. It's very protein efficient (a tablespoon has 30 grams protein, just over half a gram of carbs, and 56 calories) I use it to make my own shakes adding various liquids and flavors - Water, ice, nonfat greek yogurt, sugar-free flavored syrups, stevia, whatever. Another thing about the full liquids phases: you don't need to be on all shakes all the time. If you use GENEPRO -- or any unflavored powder you find you like, you can mix and hide it into foods in the pre and post op liquid stages and later post op food phases too. I like Protein Shakes, but at times, both pre and post op, I just wanted something savory, not sweet. When I was on liquids I was craving Soup, mixed in two teaspoons of the powder and boom, my soup had 20g+ protein. So when you're thinking about what to consume during the full liquid stages, don't forget that there are options other than sweet shakes. (You can also order savory protein Soups for the full liquid stages and skip the step of adding your own protein powder; I didn't do it so can't offer any advice!)

Honestly I think you are trying to eat way too much (in terms of volume) and way too many kinds of food. Stick with simple, high protein meals (NO BREAD) that are 3 ounces or less in size. Chicken or tuna salad in a little tupperware container with a fork, yogurt (eat half the container at most), cottage cheese, a couple ounces of sliced deli meat, turkey burger (just the meat, no bun, eat half the burger at most), baked or grilled moist fish such as salmon, Not everyone is ready to eat *all the foods* at six weeks out. I would guess most people aren't, and most people certainly aren't even trying with things like sandwiches! If you don't have one, get a kitchen scale so you can keep your meals very small -- even 3 ounces is probably pushing it, I had a maximum of 1.5 ounces at that time -- simple, and high protein. Good luck!

I'm on the soft food stage. I have tried to be brave and eat actual food but it ends up coming right back up it's such a horrible I seriously don't know what to eat. I do eat mozzarella string cheese, Greek yogurts, my Protein shakes, mandarins. I tried to eat a kids meal subway of tuna and yeah that came right back up, the same happens with boiled eggs, veggie omelette, tilapia, chicken sandwich. I get so discouraged and frustrated, my sleeve doesn't seem to like anything anymore Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I love to cook. I haven't had my surgery yet but y'all might like this recipe. Ground turkey with taco seasoning, black Beans, refried beans, cheese, and I make a cilantro lime dressing with a little mayo and Greek yogurt. I'd eat a spoonful of each and mix it all together like a burrito bowl. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using the BariatricPal App

Phase 2 diet: puréed food
finding_onederland replied to tmedi7's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I referred to "the world according to eggface" blog - lots of good ideas there. I am on day 5 of pureed foods myself. I have been having a scrambled cheese eggs every morning. I have also been having chicken salad (where I minced the chicken with my magic bullet blender) black Beans (cooked for a really long time), egg salad, and eggface's ricotta bake. This weekend I think I am going to make a batch of brunswick stew. Greek yogurts too. I have to be on pureed foods for 5 weeks, so I am thinking I am going to be getting really creative. -
Phase 2 diet: puréed food
Bufflehead replied to tmedi7's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I was on pureed, I mostly took Greek yogurt or cottage cheese to work for lunch. I had more interesting stuff for breakfast and dinner, but yogurt and cottage cheese were easy and portable. I had a serving size of 1.5 oz maximum, so I would often do 1 ounce of yogurt or cottage cheese with .5 ounce almond butter or cashew butter or similar stirred in. -
Examples of pureed/soft foods
heidikat72 replied to Armygalbonnie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Check out the blog "the world according to eggface". SHe has a post devoted to the pureed phase. And when pureeing meat - you can add some low sodium stock to get it to puree. Although I mostly pureed either tuna or chicken with a little plain nonfat greek yogurt - think pureed tuna salad. Her ricotta bake recipe also makes for a nice warm savory change. During soft foods, I also did the tuna/chicken with greek yogurt - just not pureed. And baked tilapia - it's a fairly soft fish so as long as I chewed it well, it worked. When I baked it, I had it wrapped in parchment paper to keep it from drying out in the oven and just be careful not to overbake. Low sodium deli meat was also on my plan at this phase - again, chew very well. -

KristenLe replied to Armygalbonnie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@Armygalbonnie Hummus, cottage cheese, ricotta bake, refried Beans (melted cheese, sour cream), greek yogurt, blended chicken and make a buffalo dip. Some more soft foods - egg salad, tuna salad, chicken salad, add avocado to any of those to change it up), baked white fish. For the first 6 weeks - my plan says to supplement with Protein shakes or powder because the amount we will be eating will not be enough to meet protein goals. -

Pescador replied to Armygalbonnie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I never puréed anything for my husband and I. We continued shakes, mashed up soft scrambled or boiled eggs, soft refried beans, and chili which had no large clumps of anything. Add in yogurts, small curd cottage cheese, and mashed avocado, and I am very good at making bisques and quiche with no crust. Small bites, chewed very well. -

I was sleeved on 9/13 and dr says full liquids until 9/27. I cannot get enough Protein in at all and am very weak. I feel fine as far as pain goes as there is none of that. I just cannot do anything. I have eaten yogurt, drank shakes and sipped tea all day. But seriously what can you do for weakness. Feel like I have been drained of everything I have.
