Why Pre Op Liquid Diet Variations?
bellalulu replied to bellalulu's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@LisaMergs Thank you. And yes I have bought the triple zero. They are good and I'm sure help with the Probiotics which they want us to have too. So I should be grateful I can do yogurts. Thanks so much for your help. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Why Pre Op Liquid Diet Variations?
LisaMergs replied to bellalulu's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@bellalulu Skim milk with the shakes. As for the yogurt? Well, for most that is not considered "liquid" in a liquid diet. Liquid diet means Water, your Protein shakes, clear broth, SF Jello and perhaps SF Popsicles. That's it. If you are allowed yogurt do Greek, like the Danon Triple Zero or Danon Light and Fit Greek.

Why Pre Op Liquid Diet Variations?
bellalulu replied to bellalulu's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you so much. I appreciate it. So I understand ketosis but what I don't get is how they have me drink milk w the powder shakes and eat yogurt which has sugar and so does the milk. That would prevent me from going into ketosis. Tomorrow I may just eliminate the milk and the yogurt. I'm on insulin so that doesn't help me lose anything. Only lost one pound week one.

August 30 Sleevers Post Here!

My doc starts clears and full liquids after discharge once you have tolerated Clear Liquids in the hospital. Full liquid does include yogurt if its light or fat free Greek (higher protein), sugar free, well blended, smooth, with no fruit or bits in it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Odd you asked this question today. I was speaking with my mom earlier and she asked if I wanted her to save a lamb chop for me. My reply was "No, lamb and I aren't getting along these days, much like beef and I. I wish that I could simply drink my nutrition and skip eating whole foods". And I meant it. I enjoy the "softer" foods- yogurt, cheeses, etc but when it comes to meats? I'm kind of over them. Which stinks because I'm sitting here CRAVING a Chicago-style hot dog! Meats have become so touchy for me in the last 2 months. Veggies- love them! Fruits are really limited to berries in my new tummy because there are too many others I don't tolerate well ( honeydew, watermelon, apples). One food you'd THINK I couldn't tolerate would be corn on the cob. I don't have an issue with it, though. Maybe have one a week right now ( half an ear). So, consequently I get most of my Protein via yogurt, cottage cheese, hard white cheese, ricotta cheese ( home made), and Protein drinks. I'd kill for a big juicy steak, and can eat dark meat chicken that has been stewed in juices. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've been making Greek yogurt smoothies with GENEPRO and frozen fruit. 45 grams but pretty filling. I'm 7 weeks out tomorrow and takes me about 45 minutes to drink so may be too soon for you Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Tried cottage cheese for the first time - help me jazz it up
Alex Brecher replied to trekker954's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
@@trekker954, Good for you for sticking with the cottage cheese! It’s awfully nutritious! You can go sweet or savory with cottage cheese. I know you mentioned that you cannot yet have fruits or vegetables, but does that include the super soft ones? Most weight loss surgery patients can have things like pureed well-cooked acorn squash, applesauce, and canned peaches. You could blend cottage cheese with pureed mashed potatoes and some chicken broth and/or a bit of parmesan cheese. You could make a smoothie with cottage cheese and ripe banana or even flavored yogurt. Something else you can do with cottage cheese is cook it! You can make little “cheesecakes” or “cottage cheese muffins” by beating cottage cheese with egg whites, possibly some ricotta cheese, and a little bit of sweetener, along with a flavoring like lemon juice or cinnamon or pumpkin. Good luck! -
I had the same issue and started boiling the chicken breast, then shredding it and adding Greek yogurt, a few grapes, and celery seed for a chicken salad. It's delicious and is much easier to go down. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Successful surgery yesterday in Mexicco!
turtle5569 replied to turtle5569's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I would have to say last night was my worst night. I took a shower, the nurse came in to change my dressing. When she pulled the tape off it hurt like hell. I must have taken the deepest breathe because my chest started feeling like it was caving in. As she walked out of the room I started to tear up. I had chills in my arms, my left shoulder started hurting and my neck had the sharpest pain. I was given a little white pill to sleep and that's exactly what I did. Later in the evening the doctor came in to take out my drain (ouch) that was a weird feeling. It only took 5 seconds, but was the worst 5 seconds. Woke up took a shower had a 1/2 cup of Jello and a few bites of yogurt. My dressing was changed again. Now I'm on my way home:) Feeling much better they even gave us a medical pass to pass the boarder faster. Wish me luck on a speedy recovery!! Turtle5559 -
50 pounds! What?! I'm so excited.
FabFemale replied to FabFemale's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
@@ssm I am over 3 months out so I'm on regular food. I eat eggs , yogurt , cheese , fish , chicken. I'm only eating like 4 oz at a time of meat. It's still hard to do. You just chew chew chew and walk if you feel constricted. It's a learning process. How far out are you? Thanks everyone! I'm loving this decision and my Diva Sleeve! She keeps me focused -
As my surgery date approaches (September 28), I have been thinking about carbs a lot myself. The 89 pounds I have lost so far during my six-month insurance-required diet was done with a low carb, high Protein, high healthy-fat diet. I am going to have a one-on-one with the nutritionist before the surgery to talk to her about how I want to continue to restrict carbs. (I haven't had more than 20 carbs since March 21, and 85% of those days, I have had 12 carbs or less.) I have been in ketosis for so long that I am worried what would happen if I have the yogurt, sugar-free pudding, cream of wheat, etc. that they have on the list for the various food stages post-op. There are low/no carb options at each stage, and I am probably going to stick to them. We'll see what she says. Of course, when I had my one required meeting with her during month 2, she was unhappy I was eating eggs every morning instead of egg beaters. But it was the fat in the eggs that jump-started my daily loss, so I told her I wouldn't budge on that. 89 pounds later, I am glad that I stuck to my guns...

September 12th Sleeve Surgery
bellalulu replied to Jay Mack's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi. Im in Florida in Kissimee. And same here all liquids no bars or actual food. So I'm back on it tomorrow since technically I shouldn't have been off of it at all but i am on antibiotics so I had to have some veggies and protein. I'm only allowed one salad or veggies per day and that's it. I can have yogurts or milk w shakes but not both. So it's broth all I want and lots of Fiber supplements and my Vitamins. That's it. I will have another go at it tomorrow for the next days till my surgery. What got me going crazy is that since I am still on insulin I only last half a pound after one whole week of just liquids. So that was very very disheartening. Insulin is like a fat trapper. Lol. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I almost have to have a Protein shake every day (at 15 months out) because if I don't average about 100 grams of protein a day, my blood protein levels tank. It's kind of a challenge to get that high without doing a shake. I suppose I could eat a Protein Bar instead, and sometimes I do, but the calories on those are higher. Lately I've been trying to add Protein Powder to food, though (like yogurt) so I stay full longer. Protein shakes don't satisfy me as much as solid food, and I'm battling the hunger beast again :-( I occasionally add a little frozen fruit to a protein shake to make a smoothie, but not usually. Again, I think I'm better off hunger-wise if I try to eat most of calories in solid food.

Trouble with Pre-op - Your thoughts, Please
ChristinasSleeveStory replied to cindym44's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
September 13th here ... Pre op diet is 100 oz. of liquid a day (4 Protein drinks), 3 doses of Fiber, and a half cup of veggies (which I haven't been eating). Light yogurt is allowed (EWWWW), skim milk, broth, decay tea/coffee. I stick with milk in Protein shakes made from powder (up to three servings of "dairy" a day), pre made protein shakes, flavored Water, and broth. I confessed and told my nurse that I had solid foods week 1 (out of 3 week all-liquid diet) and she obviously told me NOT TO CHEAT WHAT-SO-EVER going forward Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I am trying to change some habits and do some prep work for after surgery - my problem is I really dislike yogurt and have been trying to get used to protein shakes - is there any recipes that don't include yogurt or ways to disguise the yogurt taste -any ideas would be appreciated

Trouble with Pre-op - Your thoughts, Please
cindym44 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started my pre-op diet on August 31st. I have cut all carbs out of my diet and am having a Protein shake for Breakfast or 2 scrambled eggs. I am then having a small cup of Greek yogurt for a mid morning snack. lunch consists of green Beans. Then another Protein Shake for an afternoon snack. dinner is a protein and a salad. I am eating sugar free popsicles like they are going out of style...but these are on menu for after my surgery so I thought they would be okay for before the surgery. My surgeon wants me on all shakes and then a small dinner at night - no carbs. I am now concerned that the days I am eating eggs, yogurt and green beans, plus the popsicles, might affect my surgery. Has anyone had to have their surgery cancelled on the table, due to a large and fatty liver? If so, what did you eat the 2 weeks before the surgery? My BMI was 35.2 to start...and my surgery date is September 14th. Any advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Please tell me all about your 2 week diets. Thank you. -
This is a question mainly for post-op patients who are up to eating solid foods again after surgery, but anyone can weigh in! I am wondering about eating versus drinking your calories and nutrients. When it comes to Protein, do you prefer to chow down on foods such as chicken, fish, yogurt, cheese, and Protein Bars? Or do you opt for protein shakes and powders? If you are still using shakes and powders, is it because using them is the only way you can hit your protein goals, or because they are more convenient, or simply because you like them more? With fruits and vegetables, do you throw them into smoothies and shakes and/or juice them? Or do you eat them whole? And why? A lot of people find that smoothies help them up their fruit and veggie intake, but some people prefer to eat them to get the satisfaction of chewing solid foods…and maybe avoiding the need to clean a blender when making a smoothie! So what is your preference? It’ll also be helpful if you post what type of weight loss surgery you had and how far out you are so other members can get an idea of what to expect or what others are doing. Thanks!

Six weeks out from surgery with limited weight loss. Ugh!
Postop replied to greeneyedgrrl24's topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
Definitely don't count calories. DSers do not. We count Protein grams. At barely 2 months out it may be hard to eat enough protein. If you feel you need 3 shakes a day then do it. How many sugar grams are in each shake? Is it under 10? I had 1 shake for the first 2 years (each day) bc I couldn't get enough protein in. I didn't get to 50 gr. protein till 6 mos. out. Are you getting in 80 gr. of Water comfortably? That is a lot. If it's too hard you can drop it back. I only weighed when I went to my surgeons' office. That meant 1 mo. out, 3 mos. out, etc. That way I never saw ups, downs, stalls. I did take pics every 3 mos. My first mo. I lost 19 lbs. as I recall. Why the low fat? As a DSer, I eat pretty much all the fat I want. Full fat mayo, yogurt, etc. That's one of the beauties of the DS. -
How do people lose 40 lbs in a month?!

Are you adding fruit to your Protein and is your pudding/yogurt/Popsicle all sugar free Myree -
Exactly why I don't eat carbs other than what's in Splenda for coffee and minimal amounts in traces of other things. When I open the door and eat something carb loaded.....it simply sets up a crash and craving 30 mins later.....and the cycle of cravings occurs repeatedly until I cut out the carbs. Exactly why I chose to skip puree stage where my NUT's plan allowed oatmeal, creamed potatoes, yogurt and the like. Everyone has their own strategy......for me....it's much easier to sidestep the cravings by not giving in to them. It takes a day or two each time to get back on track and "purged" of them.

I am also finding my balance on carbs as well. Almost 7 months post op here. At 2-3 months I never ever had room for more than a touch of fruit or a little qinoa. But I've found that eating a bit more carbs seems to boost my weight loss. My carbs come from: a slice of 100% whole wheat bread, wasa crisps, pea crisps, Greek yogurt, sweet potato, fruits and vegetables. So it's never higher carb and lower Protein at a given meal. It's more that I have room to add in more of these healthy carbs without reducing my protein. Oatmeal is a tricky one. I'd also say only whole oats or steel cut. No instant oats. And if you can add protein to it-cook in milk or add GENEPRO, better. But oatmeal is very filling and will impact your ability to get in any additional protein at that meal. (I think it's more appropriate in the first 6 weeks as you are adjusting to food then it is during the bulk of the weight loss stage.) All of that said, track. If you are tracking, and your weight loss doesn't slow down with oatmeal twice a week, great. But don't go to daily oatmeal right away. And if it makes you start craving other carbs, think about it it's really a good choice.

August 30 Sleevers Post Here!
Disneygirl70 replied to NewAdventure2016's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Sleeved Aug 30th....1st 3 days were tough! Worst part was shoulder pain due to my drainage tube. Once the tube was pulled out the pain immediately was gone. I already went through some regret in the hospital but now that I am seeing that the scale is moving I feel more positive that this was the right decision for me. My biggest concern is that I can't stop burping. Anytime I drink or eat I have to burp, it's embarrassing! I hope this will go away. My dr only allows broth and Jello the 1st week. I bought some yogurt today and am tempted to try it but I'm just not sure. What is everyone else allowed? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App -

My nut doesn't like any oatmeal or yogurts that have more than 10g sugar. For yogurt it can be hard to find Protein and low sugar unless you go Greek and I do triple zeros. I found oatmeal the same and that the think thin and some other more high end brands had similar stats. I have not had blood work yet, I can only share that carb goal and say that I have enjoyed the think thin but it does feel like a lot of calories when most of my Breakfast "meals" are less than 100 calories. But maybe that is good since I worry I am slowing with loss due to low calories.
