Unjury is so nasty
Kitty86 replied to myfatisnotaflaw's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I do not like the strawberry at all. However I enjoyed the chocolate one mixed with milk and the chicken Soup one during the clear liquid phase. I also have been putting the unflavored in my yogurt and some Soups and it mixes very well and to me it is virtually tasteless! -
Advice on nutrition when flying 2 weeks post-op
trekker954 replied to vamping's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I take my own yogurt, stick it in a qt size clear bag without a problem. You can mix some Protein powder into it at 2 weeks. When you say short trip, I don't know if you mean a quick turnaround or a short flight. -
Advice on nutrition when flying 2 weeks post-op
higher replied to vamping's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Hi there - I flew for an about 10 day trip at 2 weeks post op. My flight was only 5 1/2 hours long and they served a really good cheese omelette so I was fine on the flight. I just made sure to have something before boarding - I think I had a greek yogurt at the airport. I also bought a pre-made Protein shake at the airport after going through security and brought that on the plane. I drank half of it towards the end of the flight and the rest on my way to my accommodations. More important thing is to buy a big Water to drink on the plane. I was in first class so the attendant kept my water glass full, but with all the potential delays and etc good idea to have enough water with you. While I was on my trip, I relied heavily on my Blender Bottle and protein powder. The blender bottle was one of my smartest purchases. It saved me! -

I've heard you can take pre made shakes if it's medically necessary (not positive though) might want to get your dr to write a note for it. Yogurt is usually easily found, so you can always buy some when you get to your destination. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Sleeve set for September 14

Feeling nervous is normal! I did not feel nervous, but I think that makes me NOT normal, lol! I jumped right in with so much excitement. I'm just normally a very brave person. It's my personality. Most people feel very nervous. But I'd be lying if I said you don't need this, because you do. Yo-yo diets fail most of the time. They even make you gain more weight back. So you do this, and you make it yours! As for losing 4 pounds in 2 weeks... That is very easy to achieve. I lost 9 pounds in 1 week on the liquid diet. Just stay hydrated, drink just liquid (protein shakes and yogurt are life savers). -
How many times a day should you eat?
JamieLogical replied to juneau's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told to wait 20 minutes before drinking after eating, but usually have to wait closer to 40. Eating AFTER drinking isn't going to stretch your stomach or make you eat more food or anything like that, it's just uncomfortable, because your stomach is still full of food. You need to wait for the food to pass through your stomach to make room for liquids to move through. That's just trial and error until you figure out how long to safely wait. For me, if I eat until my sleeve is "full" it usually takes 30-40 minutes before I can comfortably drink. If what you are "eating" is liquid or liquidy (protein shake, Soup, yogurt, chili, etc.) then you won't have to wait as long, because that stuff passes through your stomach quickly. -
I'm officially 1 month from my surgery date of 7/22/16! Stats: Height: 5'6" HW: 180 Pre op: -7 SW: 173 CW: 155 Total Loss: -25!!! Drs Goal: 150 My Goal: 130 I couldn't be happier. I've lost 18 pounds since surgery which is 4.5lbs per week! I know the high BMIers put up better numbers, but I'm thrilled! I'm 5 lbs from dr's goal and 25 from my goal. I'm on soft foods until 8/31 then I go to a "normal" diet. I haven't done a lot of experimenting with food, because once I got to purées, I wasn't hungry anymore. What I'm eating: Premier Protein shake - 30g Fat free Fage greek yogurt w/ stevia - 18g Premier Protein Shake - 30g 2 oz Salmon Sashimi - 12g 1/2c fat free cottage cheese - 10g I'm trying to phase the second shake out with real food, but it's just so handy and I'm one of the few who love Protein Shakes. I only get my 64oz in if I drink Vitamin Water zero. Water hits my stomach a little harder for some reason. Still taking my ppi and Vitamins religiously. I've never has GERD, and I thankfully still do not. So far no loose skin or hair loss, but I think that will be down the road more if it happens. So far, I looooove my sleeve!!!

I had to do a month long liquid diet the only solids on it being cottage cheese and yogurt.. ( not sure I can really call those "solids" lol However it was hard really hard.. I lost 28 pounds though.. the "liquid diets" are to help remove some of the fat from your liver because it has to be moved during the surgery in order for the docs to do the sleeve and or rny. I asked why... That was the answer I was told... I was also told it shows the doc your serious about the surgery and you have the fortitude to live the new lifestyle. I am not saying it was easy in all honesty it was a nightmare for me I hated it... I don' t like the Protein Shakes every one I had tried is just gross.... It was difficult because I can be so very picky.. considering how fat I was.... you would think I liked everything.. I didn't But I eat my Protein now... a lot of meat a few veggies... it's been hard... sometimes you just want a different taste... I have been experimenting with ways to add to my food choices and it's been hard. But it IS possible. just got to work at it.

I am very strategic about my Protein, i usually try to get my protein as high as i can during each meal, so i don't have to eat large amounts to meet it, i try to be as creative as possible with my meals so i don't get bored. So, i will make a lamb salads, or slow cook meat with beans/legumes, roasts with veggies, chicken salads, fish etc I try to add non meat Proteins, nuts, cheeses as well to change it up and increase the protein amount Eg, you could make a lentil and lamb salad, add greek yogurt to dip the lamb in, sprinkle some seeds/nuts, add some feta... awesome.. thats practically a quarter of your daily needs just there! Eg. I make an open taco bowl... lamb or turkey mince, old el paso taco seasoning/sauce, red Beans, white beans, onion, tomatoes, capsicum, fresh corriander.. cook it all up, then put it ontop of a "salad" of iceberg lettuce, tomato, corriander, red onion, capsicum... its yum! I find Mediterranean and middle eastern recipes do this very well

Surgery is getting closer.
Hiraeth replied to Kaylaseibert's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Why are you nervous? Are you nervous about the surgery, the diet, or both? The surgery was easier than I expected. My only challenges were the gas pains that lasted for almost 2 days and getting in enough liquid. My pre-op diet lasted for one week and was actually pretty easy. I didn't really feel miserable like some people say they felt. I made sure to drink at least 3 Protein shakes a day and eat about 2-3 light and fit yogurts a day. Also, drink plenty of fluids to keep yourself fuller longer. Good luck! -
Late June Sleeve Buddies?
chycky replied to Maggie143's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey there I do the Greek yogurt the oikos triple zero for low carb and high protein. I agree with @@ShelterDog64 try to mix it up with eggs. I am into poached right now but like scrambled with a little cheese, turmeric or hot sauce. -
Veggies can be difficult to digest this early out. You also have to be careful with seeds (zucchini, cucumbers) as they can get stuck in your staples or incision and cause complications. Try sticking with things with Protein such as cottage cheese, refried Beans with cheese, strained or pureed Soups (no rice or pasta), greek yogurt, etc. Be sure to get plenty of fluids. You may still need to supplement with Protein drinks or shakes. Be sure to bring Water and protein Snacks to school. Good luck.

Late June Sleeve Buddies?
ShelterDog64 replied to Maggie143's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I do much the same, Magoosmom....I have Protein in my coffee right when I get up (I am one of those people who staggers to the coffee machine immediately upon waking), then some greek yogurt an hour or 2 later. I had not been able to tolerate an egg at all, but then I tried making shakshuka the other day and it was fabulous! Eggs poached in tomato sauce and onions, with some cumin. Maybe them being poached, maybe the tomatoes? I don't know, but it's the first egg I've been able to eat. I see you're down 48 lbs...that's so fabulous! We're all fabulous!! But where is Maggie? I worry. -
Hello all. I'm starting week 4 post op and am on the pureed stage. Today I had: Breakfast- 4oz Greek yogurt Mid morning: Protein shake Lunch: 2oz Pureed Buffalo chicken salad Afternoon: 1/2 banana w/ tspn Peanut Butter Dinner: Pureed Chili (ground turkey) Now: 2oz Applesauce God looking at that written it seems like so much. My dr says eating less but more often staves hunger away and is better for metabolism but I'm so worried that is way too much food. Ugh I'm so confused. Anyone have any advice?

My band-to-sleeve revision surgery is August 24th! I was very successful with my lap band for the first 2 years, losing 165 lbs (even had skin removal)... ever since last summer, my band has completely stopped working and I gained back 30 lbs within 3 months. My surgeon's office and I worked really hard to see what the source of it was, trying several different fills - sadly I am not able to tolerate anything higher than 5.75 cc. Phentermine helped for a few months before my body developed immunity to it. I'm very grateful that insurance has approved my revision surgery and it's very surreal for it to be happening so soon. I've been bad with trying to follow the liquid diet (though nothing other than yogurt and gluten free crackers) and feel guilty about it. However, I had a very hard time sticking to it the first time around and really hope it won't impact me negatively as long as I don't have anything more solid than those options.

so sometimes I will satisfy that urge with various seasonings. one example I am very happy to have half a sauteed chicken breast with spag sauce and cheese and skip the Pasta. or ground meat (I use a mix of ground sirloin and ground turkey breast) with spag sauce and cheese. if I am craving a different kind of food I have different spices, same meats. When I want ice cream I have a sugar free popsicle. I love the outshine ones, strawberry is my fav. some people freeze greek yogurt with some stevia for the same idea, or you could add vanilla. When I am craving a candy bar I have a chocolate Protein bar. I like the power crunch. I do, on occasion have a small amount of popcorn with shredded reduced fat cheese melted on top. It's not all the time, but it doesn't seem to be a slider food for me. I can only eat a little bit and then I am stuffed. I measure it out, log it and move forward. at 9 weeks you should be healed enough that this would not be a problem. I was medically cleared for any kind of food at 4 weeks.

I had to do the liquid diet twice the first time I was a week away from surgery and found out I jag kidney cancer. So after I had that taken care of I went on vacation came back and started the two week diet again I had to really press my way through because it was hard after eating good on vacation. Think about why toy have to do the diet do a shake 2 hrs. later do a yogurt then done Water them 2 hrs later do a piece of fruit have lunch or dinner then a snack at night. Yot want to make sure your liver is small because when you lose weight the liver lose weight as well and you want to make sure that the livery is out of the way and that it doesn't get harmed during surgery.

Hello Out There August 2016 Sleevers!
chai20 replied to Sc7272's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved 8/17. I had asked my surgeon if yogurt or protein drinks were ok and he said yes. -
Hummus, creamed soups (strained), cottage cheese (small curd or whipped), sugar free pudding (add protein powder), greek yogurt, ricotta bake, refried beans with cheese (can make a Mexican dip). Experiment and enjoy. My plan doesn't expect us to get all our protein in foods so still has us drinking protein shakes too. We are allowed cream of wheat, mashed potatoes, butternut squash, etc - but I'm going to try and stick with protein.

I'm 5 days in now and not having any issues with liquids. I had some pre-maid Protein drinks and even yogurt. How's your progress going? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
There's alot of choices for protein at this stage. Greek yogurt, egg muffins, cottage cheese, hummus, chicken salad, tuna salad, cheese, chili, beans (make a Mexican dip), protein water (Trumino, Atkins Lift), soup (no pasta or rice), ground beef, ground turkey or chicken, salmon, fish, sugar free pudding with protein powder, etc. Experiment and see what you like. There's tons of recipes online (Pinterest). Increase your protein and fluids and the scale will move! Good luck!

Yes what ISG says--I would squirt it on Greek yogurt or protein pudding or a protein mug cake.
