Soft food stage
futurefeatherweight replied to mommaof5's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 4.5 weeks out and am in soft food stage. I have been doing some traveling and eating out. Some of the easiest things to eat have been scrambled eggs, baked fish, refried beans, egg drop soup- all of which are acceptable with my surgeon. I have to admit that I have also had a couple of bites of lasagna here and there and ate half of a tamale for dinner once when suitable choices were scarce. While the texture of these foods isn't bad, the nutritional value is questionable. When traveling, I also bring a small cooler with greek yogurt and protein drinks in case my tummy gets picky. -
Beating yourself up nutritionally speaking
Alex Brecher replied to LisaMergs's topic in Food and Nutrition
@@LisaMergs, You did awesome! Great job on a last-minute fast food choice! It definitely wasn’t the healthiest possible food in the world, but it was an excellent choice given the circumstances. You got some Protein and kept the calories and carbs in check. Nobody is perfect, and lessons like this are great. They show that you can still come out on top even if you make mistakes, such as in this case not planning ahead and having your own food with you, and not checking the nutrition facts before ordering. Good work! I agree with @@Inner Surfer Girl that most fast food restaurants have reasonable options as long as you stop and think. Grilled chicken, eggs, side salads, and small burgers are usually possibilities – just skip the bread. Also, sides of fresh fruit including apple slices or yogurt are often available. In general, I think it’s good to have some idea of what to order at some of the major fast food restaurants just in case you end up there. I always try to know what my choices are at McDonald’s, Subway, and Starbucks since I figure there is almost sure to be one of those restaurants no matter where I am. I don’t tend to beat myself up over nutrition. I generally prefer healthy foods, and I know that even if I have some junk occasionally, I know that my diet is overall pretty healthy. Anyway, good choice, and thanks for sharing your NSV! -
Exactly, exactly, exactly how I felt. I'm 27 days post op and only started "finding full" within the last week or so. Im certainly not a dr. but my theory is maybe as your pouch heals things begin to really tighten up. Im finding greek yogurt seems to be my filler. Hope it helps.

There will still be some hot days this year, but the weather is changing. The cooler days and chilly evenings can trigger cravings for comforting, hearty food, but it does not need to come at the expense of your weight loss surgery diet. Soups, stew, and chili can be healthy and filling comfort foods. You can make big batches ahead of time and store the extras. I also like them because they are super flexible; you can change the recipe to make them with almost any ingredients you have on hand. I like them all, but I think stews are my favorite. They are less watery than Soup, and more comforting to me than chili. I like just a simple stew with leftover cooked chicken, canned tomatoes, and diced veggies, all cooked in broth. You can make it thicker by adding Greek yogurt when you serve it. What kind of soup, stew, or chili do you like to make that fits into your weight loss surgery diet but also hits the spot in terms of satisfaction and taste?

I'm just over 5 months out and down 59 lbs today. 4 of those pounds came off in the past 6 days! I was at the point where I was accepting the slower weight loss when I ran out of my greek yogurt with fruit in it last week. Then the weight started falling off! Couldn't believe it, Now I believe just one yogurt a day was too many carbs. Today I noticed a metalic taste in my mouth a few hours after I ate Breakfast. I did a little research and believe that is a response to my body being in Ketosis, Which would be consistent with the lowering of my carb intake and the super fast weight loss in the past 6 days. From what I read, ketosis is not a problem if you are eating a healthy diet, not diabetic, pregnant, etc. My question is, how has ketosis helped or hurt your journey? Any adverse affects? How long did you stay in ketosis?

I'm 4 months post op but I can only eat about 42-56 grams of meat or fish protein before I feel too full. I eat a lot of Greek yogurt because it's easier for me to get down.

Surgeon keeps saying that its normal and will pass as time moves on. He is really not helpful at all.. im so lost Sent from my SM-G935F using the BariatricPal App I also had my surgery in August and haven't had the experience that you have had with not being able to eat for a prolonged period but recently I did have a day that started with me vomiting all morning and resulted in my developing an aversion to Protein shakes, Protein powder, and a certain type of multi-Vitamin. I wound up buying a variety of different high protein Greek yogurts and some protein water and just made myself eat what I could. I have found that if I don't eat enough protein, I get weak quickly. At one point, the Greek yogurt seemed too much, so I got some drinkable yogurt. If you are having difficulty eating due to pain caused by eating, your surgeon should address that because you could have a stricture. I sometimes have pain when I eat but it is usually when I have tried something new that takes up more space in my stomach than I thought it would. Have you had success with any foods since surgery?

Nervous about upcoming surgery
Bufflehead replied to Asm0108's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@@Asm0108 I wasn't allowed fruits and veggies for a pretty significant amount of time after surgery, so my fiber early on came from things like beans and lentils as well as fiber powder and Oikos Triple Zero yogurt. Since you have issues with diverticulitis, you may want to discuss your specific needs with your bariatric team so you can come up with a good plan to deal with it. -
I have used them, I am not picky about flavor. I mean it is a shot, just do it. They are called new whey I believe. They are a mix of three types of protein, collogen as mentioned, whey, and I cannot remember the third. You know that your body cannot take in more than 30grams of protein at once, so no matter how much protein is in the shots, you 't all of it. Good news is they make another one that is a 28 gram shot and cheaper. They are strangely thick if you refrigerate them, which might make some dislike them. Search the internet you can find a case of 12 of them for under $24 I believe vitashoppe of something like that, then search the sites name and coupon, most of the time you will find free shipping, or 10 percent off for most sites. My doctor says they are ok in a pinch but certainly there are better sources of protein. He. question how much you might be able to use of the protein in them, he said figure about 18grams for a shot. They have 180 calories. I make a gallon of Walmart apple drink (2 bucks for 6 packets, 2 to a gallon) then I add Nector apple protein, 4 scoops, fill 4 empty G2 bottles, place in frig. I sip all day on them, 2 is 64 ozs of water, check, and 50 grams of protein. Have some greek yogurt, cottage cheese and you are there! I flavorless protein, add it to cottage cheese, or decaf coffee iced

Grocery List Suggestions?
Inner Surfer Girl replied to pandas22's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Half of the contents of my refrigerator is cheese or yogurt. About 1/4 is leftovers and the rest is condiments and pickles. -
what did you eat or add into your diet at 3months post op? please
Bufflehead replied to 4u2nvyme's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I was three months out, I was still on soft foods (have to be able to cut easily with a fork), and ate according to the directions from my bariatric team: --3 small meals per day --no grains, starchy veggies, sweets, tropical fruits, or liquid calories other than Protein shakes --minimum of 75 grams of protein per day --no Snacks other than Protein Shakes So that basically meant lots of: meat, fish (especially tuna, salmon, sardine, shrimp, scallops, mackerel), eggs (every day!), avocado, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, refried Beans, lentils, small amounts of nut butters. Those were the mainstays of my diet. After six months I was allowed regular texture foods and added in green veggies such as asparagus, green beans, and broccoli, as well as some fruit like apples and strawberries. I still had the same dietary restrictions in terms of no grains, starchy veggies, sweets, liquid calories etc. until I completed weight loss phase. I stuck with the program and finished up 200 lbs lighter and at goal, so I think the plan my team gave me worked well for me -
What Is Your Biggest Guilty Pleasure? (Food or Not)
Julie norton replied to Alex Brecher's topic in Food and Nutrition
Relaxing with the morning paper and a big cup of coffee....ok maybe my other would be nooze yogurt. -
Yay congrats! I had surgery on Monday, too! Like everyone said, plans differ but I have tried Greek yogurt, ricotta cheese, pudding, Italian ice..just make sure you have everything low/nonfat and no sugar. It is pretty scary that you go home not knowing what to eat. A nurse and the nutritionist from my program called today to see how I'm doing and what I'm eating/drinking.

Almost 1 Year Surgiversary
IveGotThePower replied to Amanda111183's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Congratulations on you success! Great job! Don't know if this will help, but this past week I discovered something that helped me. I ran out of yogurt and have just been eating the other foods I normally eat which don't contain sugar and are very low carb. Even though I was loosing a pound or two every week or two, I lost 3 lbs between Monday and Friday! My hunger was definitely less. I believe that just a small amount of sugar makes a difference for me and I'm guessing others are as sensitive also. Also, given your current exercise routine, you might make sure you are getting enough calories spread out throughout the day. I also know dense Protein fills me up for longer a longer period. So I keep snack size baggies in the freezer of cooked ground chicken/turkey with a little veggies and Beans mixed in. I make it every 2 or 3 weeks, then take for lunch and add a little cheese. Best of luck to you -
thanks everyone, you guys are so helpful and supportive I really thanks God for each of you here and the support. By the way I am doing awesome on day 4, my only concern was getting my Protein down wich I found to sweet now and that is why I was asking about the yogurt but I end up mixing unflavored Protein powder with chicken broth, the only thing is that is not completly sodiun free but I hope is fine because at least I an getting my protein!!!

4 days post op and I'm worried
limase63 replied to rhaya sunshine's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Same here. Two weeks out. No issues w getting everything in - protein, yogurt, soup. Started feeling like surgeon messed up and made my pouch too big! Everyone says liquids go right through and that nerves are healing, so sense of fullness isn't there. I was (am) worried about drinking shakes too fast, so I decided to try to take 45 min to drink it and measure out everything else. I wish they covered these possibilities in pre surgery classes.

I loaded up thinking I would be housebound and recuperating when I was out of the house driving to the store two days later. I threw away so much, the protein powders that expired. What I now realize is that you should keep the basics, shakes, puddings, jello, yogurts, bouillon, FF creamed soups, crystal Light, SF Torani syrups, Cream of Wheat. I wasted so much money. I bought the Unjury soups that clumped when hot and they went in the trash. They are only good lukewarm. I think my homemade chili was the most wonderful soft food I ever tasted when I reached that stage.

I started protein shakes 3 days out. 8oz twice a day along with yogurt and soup as meals Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
My surgery was 9/2 and yogurts were fine as long as they had 7 grams of sugar or less. Chobani simply 100 is a good one or Oikos zeros. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

You need to ask your Team about what you can/can't have. On my plan - yogurt would not be allowed at only 4 days post-op. Protein shakes and Clear liquids only. Everyone's plan is different though - so check to see what you are allowed.

@@viri87 yogurt would not have been okay on my post-op plan, but plans vary a lot. Best to call your bariatric team and check in with them for guidance. Welcome and good luck!
