~*~ Workout Challenge and Chat Thread ~*~
marykb replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in Fitness & Exercise
Hi NicVio and Ebony! I am being a good girl and abiding, lol. My hubby is a sweetie....he's looking out for me. I go back Aug. 10th to get the stitches out and I should have my lab results by then. Hopefully everything comes back normal. LilMiss, setting small goals is really smart. I think that's what I need to do. I just completed day 2 of no sweets. So far so good. I have had a little sugar in certain foods (yogurt, cereal, etc.), but not much refined sugar....that's the stuff that gets me in trouble. I'm getting a much needed fill tomorrow and they are still measuring my fluids every 2 weeks and documenting how much is missing. Hopefully they can get what they need and fix it soon! Hope everyone has a great week! GG, I hope you are able to get your stitches out on 8/10. That is so great to do days with no sugar! I need a lot more willpower than I have now to do that, although I need to. :cool2: I hope that your fill goes well and they are able to fix the issue soon. LilMiss, Working out less and having more time for a life sounds good to me. :blushing: You are still doing great! I just got back from my family reunion. I didn't do well eating wise, although not as bad as I had feared. I didn't track any of my food, even though I brought a notebook to do it. I did go on a 30 min (27 minute, my sister corrected me) power walk with my sister one day. Other than that, there was a lot of wandering around, sitting around and playing in the pool with the kids. I lost 3 lbs in the last week, so I was pretty happy about that. I"m back to working out tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully I Can get through my hundreds of emails quickly and finish up so I can get to the gym fairly early. I'm leaving again on Sat. am to NJ to visit my BIL and family. I'll be there until next Wed, and I know I won't be doing much exercise there either. I'll have to cram it all in, in 3 days!:tt2: -
LOL... I'm back! Need those words of encouragement. I have been eating like crazy this morning too. I ate a yogurt, 1 pack of cream of wheat, 2 hard boiled eggs and a snack size of gold fish crackers...STILL HUNGRY! I know what it is and you won't believe me. There is a full moon!

stall correlated to lack of protein
mariamitani replied to angry's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
In order to continue to drop weight you need to remain at 600-800 calories a day. I feel like thats the most important thing to keep losing. All those calories should come mostly from protein.Eggs,fish,steak,ground beef,lentil,beans,shrimp,greek yogurt ,cottage cheese and cheese sticks. You need 75 or more grams of protein a day also important. Drink 64 or more ounces of water a day. When I dont drink water my weight stalls, I think because the body cant remove waste without enough.Take your vitamins daily to keep energy levels up. Try to exercise 3-5 days a week. Measure your food and blog it in myfitnesspal.com. It allows you to see daily protein intake ,calories,carbs etc..Measuring cups,spoons and a scale are also very helpful. Good luck on your journey -
Question for the slow losers
beachgurl84 replied to AuriP's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Ok that doesn't sound too different from me. I usually have a Protein shake a day. Either an Isopoure w/40 grams or Criosport with 32 grams. Sometimes, if I have a sweet craving I'll have a GNC lean mint layer cake with 25 grams. But never more than one a day. On heavy workout days I'll usually have a Protein Bar as well. Other than that I have stocked up on baby bel cheeses and my husband loves them for Snacks too. I'm right there with you on not enjoying the hubby's sides because they are usually potato something. I do a greek yogurt for breakfast, cream in my coffee, and some kind of meat for dinner. Oh, and usually like tuna salad or chicken salad for lunch. I just looked back through MFP diary and it looks like I usually get around 80. If my calories for the day allow it, I'll usually have a vegetable at some point during the day. I hate to admit it but grazing is a weakness of mine. So I try to keep only things on hand that won't hinder me if I don't catch myself. And I struggle to get fluids because I'm just sick of Water, lol. -
There is something about Greek yogurt that is so beneficial...
-
Of course! 8oz ricotta 1/2 cup cheese-- I used cheddar jack 1 large egg, beaten 1/4 cup fat free Greek yogurt 1/2 small can diced green chilies (mild) Salt and pepper to taste 1/2 cup shredded cheddar jack Lightly beat egg, add to all ingredients (except cheese for topping), mix well. Divide evenly into mini muffin tins. Top with remaining cheese. Bake at 450 for 20 mins. Serve topped with a dollop of ff Greek yogurt. I did not find chiles too spicy or upsetting in any way--everyone is different I'm sure. I did freak out a little with the skins on the green chiles, but they really are already so mushy. This recipe was very much based on Eggface's recipe, which I also enjoy: http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2007/08/pureed-foods.html?m=1 Though I used a sweet potato tomato sauce instead of marinara because I thought something less acidic would be a good idea (plus I just really enjoy the sauce): http://nataliaskitchen.net/sweet_potato_sauce/ Let me know how you like it!

4 months out and falling off wagon
Morganne replied to mamamareli's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You can do this! I'm 15 weeks out and I totally understand what you are saying. I could easily snack all day!! Here is my routine. Everyone is different but this works for me. Mon - fri 8 am cottage cheese with fruit 12 noon lunch meat with cheese rolled or tuna on one serving of whole grain crackers. I buy the ones with the least amount of carbs 5 pm small snack, pork skins, fruit, cheese, or humus with 5 seed crackers. Proportion!! 7pm choice of meat 2 oz and small side. (Salad, green Beans, or sweet potato.) Saturday - Sunday About the same as the week days but if I want a junky snack I have it! Popcorn, one cookie, frozen yogurt, or one slice of pizza etc... I am holding myself accountable for the week days and the weekends too but will not punish myself (get down on myself) if I enjoy some sugar/carbs. Remind yourself of how you felt before surgery!! Make yourself some sticky notes with reminders in your car, house, work etc I also set alarms on my phone (program them) to go off when I can eat. -

par1959 replied to Kindle's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Has anyone tried Chobani Greek Yogurt. It comes in a 5.3 OZ size. 13 grams of protein also 13 grams of sugar:( but I find it avery satisfying breakfast. Add a little fruit and some granola it my current fav. 120 cals per serving -
I am 7 days post op and am having a lot of gas discomfort. Also struggling with the liquid diet. I used to like protein drinks not sure if my taste buds have changed but now they make me extremely nauseous. I've tried a few different powder proteins. Any suggestions. I'm living off yogurt and getting sick of that too!!

Calling all February 1st Sleevers!
mryjo73 replied to arenea's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I experienced the same. My dr says that that's my body telling me I'm not ready for that food. Just eat that food another week or so and try again. Yup and I got the same response. Not ready for that. Try again... right now Greek strawberry cheese cake yogurt is my bestie. -
Sleevers who are years out what’s your average day of eating look like?
JessLess replied to Kikikiki's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I can eat too much if I don't watch it so I count calories at 2 years out. I lose at 1,200-1,500. I've been eating too much lately and it shows. I have an apt. with my dietician so she can say... no more frozen yogurt and I can complain about it. -
Normally I can down a third of a cup if it’s substantial. Yogurt Ive been doing 5 ounces.

How Have Your Tastes Changed Since Surgery?
Alex Brecher posted a topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
A lot of WLS patients find their tastes change after WLS. Sometimes it’s too bad, like not liking healthy foods like chicken or salad anymore. Sometimes it’s a good thing, like when you don’t like greasy foods anymore. Sometimes it’s a direct result of surgery, like being intolerant to super sweet foods after gastric bypass or not liking the taste of Water anymore after the sleeve. Sometimes it’s the result of getting used to a new set of foods that you first FORCE yourself to eat, and later actually enjoy more than the junk food you used to eat. Like many lap-band patients, I didn’t notice any immediate changes in my tastes post-op, but my tastes have definitely changed in the years since surgery! Now, I like healthy foods, and don’t automatically prefer high-calorie sugary or fried foods. I like yogurt, and oatmeal, and fruit, and vegetables, and prefer unprocessed foods. What about you? Have your tastes changed since surgery? In which ways?- 10 replies

Not loosing on pre op diet
ambernoel replied to ambernoel's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon doesn't require me to be on all liquids at all- I was advised to have a Protein shake for Breakfast Greek yogurt with 1 oz nuts for snack 3 oz lean protein and unlimited non starchy veggies for lunch either 1 medium fruit or another shake for snack and 6 oz of lean protein and unlimited non starchy veggies for dinner if my second snack was a piece of fruit then I would need my second shake after dinner- I personally am picking to do the liquid diet because I feel the results are better for reductions to the liver- So I wouldn't really say inneed to re-evaluate myself - I ate one healthy meal over the last ten days-- Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
My Hunger Has Returned!!
Lovingmyself83 replied to jessjames's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I use genepro and I love it. I add it to my glass of milk, water or yogurt. Not bad at all and it had 30 grams of protein per scoop with 98 calories. 33 bucks at gnc. -
Need help with food ideas
BLERDgirl replied to Account deleted's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@@Bufflehead - I did mine in a nutra bullet. Also soups. I made every bean, creamy veg soup I could think of. Easy grabs were - hummus, ricotta cheese that I dress up like lasagna but without the noodles. I drank a lot of kefir and made my own yogurt smoothies as well. Greek yogurt+protein powder+nut butter is a Protein powerhouse. -
All of my December sleevers...
kat40223 replied to blkdiamond377's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved on Dec 3, 2 days before my birthday, and I'm down 37 pounds so far. It is difficult to get as much protein in as we are supposed to. My Dr recommends 70 grams a day. I have 1 protein shake a day and will try to supplement the remaining with veggie burgers, Greek yogurt and protein bars. What are others using to get in protein? I absolutely can't do whey protein. Gag!!! -
All of my December sleevers...
jen1211 replied to blkdiamond377's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have been really lucky to lose so much, I don't eat a lot of variety though. I usually eat taco cupcakes or one kind of like manicotti for at least one meal a day. I eat at least one protein bar a day sometimes a baby bel or two and a handful of nuts I also get almond crackers and the laughing cow wedges too. I also sometimes have grilled chicken or steak for dinner with a few veggies. I occasionally have some frozen greek yogurt too. Not much variety but it works for me right now. -
Thank y’all for commenting. I’m still experiencing blockage , I vomited again. I had a bit of chicken and carrots and it got stuck again. I think I need to pay a visit to the hospital. Yogurt and fruits goes in good. Even cheese.

Newbie looking for Oct sleevers!
stephh replied to Marielbx's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I've got my last 50 days worth of food on MFP. My diary should be public. I've logged in every single thing I've eaten, except for Vitamins (just started logging those). Typical day: Breakfast: Premier Protein shake 160 Lunch: some type of meat, usually chicken. I can only eat between 1-2 ounces of meat, on a good day. Then I get full. Dinner: same as lunch Snack: I was eating a snack of cheese, yogurt or something, but the past two weeks, food seems revolting. I got really sick feeling after swimming last week, so I've been drinking Gatorade to up my calories a little. I have not yet felt hungry. -
Those are ESSENTIALS *whispers* like yogurt 😓

Pureed diet need new ideas
I♡BypassedMyPhatAss♡ replied to Stephy2014's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Refried beans is another option. I'd add a load of fire sauce and then some Greek yogurt on the side, in place of sour cream, since you can't have cheese. I have an unnatural love affair of all things hot and spicy. I hope I can still eat spicy stuffies after the bypass.
