I am single, live alone, and have a very small kitchen. I do cook more now than I did pre-op but still live on a lot of easy things like yogurt, cottage cheese, turkey, tuna, etc. I have started grilling more vegetables in my toaster oven. Add a Protein to some grilled vegetables and it's a feast!

@@AMS3188 LOL, not to make you feel worse but that chewing thing really became a problem for me after. I was on Clear Liquids for 1 week followed by full liquids for 1 week followed by the pureed diet for 2 full weeks before I was finally allowed a soft diet where I could begin to chew things like juicy thin sliced chicken or fish. I remember telling my husband that I could chew the carpet! Those exact words. You just want something to chew! For me, I thought the pureed diet would at least bring me some release because I could puree meats. Well, pureeing meats did not go well for me. They gagged me. LOL and I am alergic to Beans and legumes. So it was back to yogurt, cottage cheese, sf pudding, creamed Soups. I will say that I was also craving carrots during the pureed stage and that is the one thing I ate that was not apart of my diet. I cooked up carrots until they were mushy enough, added a bit of salt and pepper. It was the best damn thing I ate for a month. I don't know why I craved them, prior to surgery I really never ate cooked carrots unless it was in pot roast or corned beef dinner. But now, I love them and could eat them every single day. I often wonder if it my body just craving the certain nutrients that are in carrots. Anyway, the chewing thing. I still find myself wanting crunchy foods so I use fresh vegetables and fruits to help me with that. It helps with that feeling.

That's great idea not to have pastas grains and such. My plan isn't strict ... but I am strict on myself. I've been sticking to hummus, eggs, yogurt, and soups ... and of course my protein shakes -
Food items that I am scared of..
Dub replied to Lema's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Foods that I want nothing to do with: Everything on your list plus most crunchy foods. Peanut butter is one of the top avoidance foods for me, too. Total slider food, anything I'd put it on other than celery is also a slider combo, poor choice for me as a guy who is on a diet. If I were at maintenance living.....then sure....peanut butter makes sense....but not during weight loss mode. It's simply a bad choice for me. Potatoes, rice and bread.....absolute avoidance. No nutritional benefit for me while on a diet. Ice cream and yogurt.....same idea....not for me while trying to lose weight. I know there are various yogurts that are on approved lists....but for me, they are slider foods and I simply avoid them. Down the road when I'm in maintenance.....sure....not now, though. Canned soups......yup.....I'm avoiding that stuff, too. Many soups are bigtime slider foods that are loaded with carb calories and sodium. Not relevant for my weight loss goals. And the Cream of Whatever soups that are on many approved lists were always something I stayed well away from. Acceptable foods for me are meats, chicken, fish, seafood, non-starch vegetables and low-carb Protein powders. This is plenty of variety. I honestly don't want to be sitting around pining for wide ranging menu options and thinking about food all the time. I simply want to eat what I need to fuel myself and continue to lose. It will not be like this forever as I'll be opening up the menu slightly as I ease into maintenance in the future. Now, however, it's weight loss time frame and food is something that is not what I want my thoughts on. Losing the food focus is one of the tools I'm glad was drilled into me early on by the liquid diet and simple menu options. Large and expansive menu thoughts just muddy the waters for me. -
I am RnY 7 wks out on Monday. On Stage 3. We are told no Pasta, bread, rice, corn, peas ever again! They are big causes dumping. I am too scared of that to even try. Still on eggs, chicken, deli meats, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, soft cooked veggies, hot cereals. No issues yet. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

Can't get protein in
Candygyrl replied to MarieLouise's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sorry about your Protein issues everyone has given great advice. I was not advised to hit protein goals so soon but to work up toward them. However it was recommended for me to get at least 40g for the first month. I know what you mean about the premier. I love them but they sometimes make me a little nauseated. Typically you can take a little break and come back to them and you can begin to tolerate them again. Perfect time to explore other options. I've gotten a little sick of them but Id purchased 4 cases so I felt obligated to finish them. I found that mixing in a frozen banana with the chocolate ones are amazing. Thicker, and very tasty. I've also tried frozen peaches, and strawberries with the vanilla and strawberry flavors respectively. You may have to find a way to incorporate greek yogurt three times a day, and try breaking your Protein shakes up into 4oz servings. Maybe you can tolerate them better that way. Also if you like spinach, kale and fruit smoothies, you could make smoothies with greek yogurt and add a scoop of protein for an added boost. I was doing this at post op week 3. If all else fails talk to your NUT. I imagine as your diet advances, so will your protein intake. -
I wasn't allowed protein bars until 6 weeks out. I know programs are different. Can you tolerate yogurt? You could always add powder to yogurt for protein. But, the Oh Yeah! One bars are softer than other protein bars and are really good.

Trouble Swallowing
Candygyrl replied to Sassy-Anne's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That's all you should be eating right now anyways. I'm not sure what your surgeon recommended but I had to do liquids for 2 weeks started purees week 3 but when I felt things were a little uncomfortable I scaled back. It's normal advance diet as tolerated the stages are a guideline. If you feel more comfortable eating puddings and Soups then stick with that for a while and introduce puree consistency foods one day at a time. I'm @5weeks today and in the soft food phase but the majority of my foods are still liquids and purees mostly. It's what I feel most comfortable eating right now. I work on getting my Protein and Fluid needs met, then I find I don't have room for much else. If I do I make sure it has a purpose. For example if I have a greek yogurt in the morning then that's my Breakfast. 15g of protein yay. I'll sip Water over the next 2-3 hours until my next meal to work on getting my fluids in then maybe for lunch I'll have soup or a kale and fruit smoothie I add greek yogurt and a scoop of Protein powder or I make it with a premier shake for a min of 30g of protein. Then back to sipping 30 min later over the next 2-3 hours then dinner might be pureed tuna, or turkey chili if I can handle it. 1/4 cup or 2oz serving over a min of 30 min or else I feel sick. Then back to sipping. If I still have protein to get in, ill have a Protein Shake or yogurt to get it in. Then I'm done for the day. I try to have my last meal no later than 8pm. So don't sweat it. Stay with where you are comfortable, introduce foods slowly, and don't advance just because you can wait til you're ready. It can't hurt. -

Looking for a buddy
clbrown69 replied to clbrown69's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Thank you all for your responses. On August 15th I'll be 6 months gastritis bypass. I'm down 59 lbs, I'm under 200 lbs for the 1st time in probably 7 or 8 years. I limit myself on what I eat cause I don't like veggies, I really really wish I did, but I don't. I'm also limited on nut and foods with seeds be a use I've had diverticulitis in the past. I eat a lot of the same foods, such as yogurt and cheese. I know I need to start to expand but for some reason, I don't want to eat that many things. Then I have the awesomeness of PMS which was bad prior to surgery and just as bad after surgery. I was recent put on Paxil by my physician, the stress between my job and the wanting to crawl out of my skin due to PMS takes its toll. Does anyone have any of these issues? I am grateful for how far I've come and yet I feel stuck. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App -
Which diet? Everyone's plan is completely different. Is your diet from your NUT/Surgeon heavy on dairy? I'm actually surprised to hear that. Aside from occasional greek yogurt, my plan is basically dairy-free. Aside from lean Protein like chicken/fish I try to eat as much "whole-food" based as possible. I try to keep anything processed out of my diet. There are days when I don't eat any meat at all. On those days I may have an extra Protein shake or some tofu in place of the meat. If you don't agree with the diet your NUT is giving you, then you might consider speaking with them about alternatives. I'm sure they'd help if asked. Best of luck!

touch down taco dip! bottom is a can of refried Beans with a couple of cloves of chopped garlic and some cheddar cheese. top layer is some cream cheese and about 6 ounces of sour cream blended with some taco seasoning and spread on top of the bottom layer in a medium size baking pan. top with shredded mexican and bake about 20 minutes at 350. my family eats it with chips, I eat it with a spoon. We have salsa on top when it is served. very tasty and filling. or some greek yogurt with seasonings - or a purchased one like the kind with feta and dill and raw veg if you can manage the veg.

In need of some encouragemet
Djmohr replied to Elyse519's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@Elyse519 I am so sorry you are having a rough time. How are you going on liquids? The reason I ask is that if you are even slightly dehydrated you will feel like crap. Weak, tired, dizzy and nauseous are all symptoms of dehydration. chicken can be rough for some to eat until they are a bit further out. In fact I got the same feeling you describe when trying to eat pureed meat of any kind. I tried ground chicken, ground turkey, tuna, ground beef. I literally would gag and gag. So, I went back to Greek yogurt, Protein shakes, cottage cheese, sf pudding, creamed Soups and the full liquid diet until the pureed stage was done. For me, that was 4 weeks post op. I felt better almost immediately which told me I just needed to go slower. At 4 weeks I was cleared to do soft moist foods like chicken, fish, ground meats, veggies cooked well. I had to go slow and try one thing at a time. I will never forget the day I made my first very juicy chicken breast and a teaspoon of sweet potato. I swore I never tasted anything so good before. LOL. Then for about another 6 weeks there were days when chicken worked and days when it didn't. When it did it had to be good and moist. Don't over cook it. Try drinking more fluids and don't worry so much about the pureed meats for now. I bet you will start feeling better. Of course contact your nut to validate but that is what mine told me to do and it worked. -
Week 3 - purée stage - how do u know when to stop ?
LowBMISleever replied to pnt38's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My plan says 1oz portions. I'm not supposed to start puree until tomorrow, but I tried a tiny bit of fat-free cottage cheese just now because well I'm a bad person, lol. 1 oz of cottage cheese was a joke. I felt no restriction. I could've easily eaten the entire 4oz container, just like I can down 4oz of drinkable yogurt. I imagine and hope pureed meat will go down differently. Hopefully I'll feel some restriction. 1 oz just seems insanely low. How am I supposed to get my Protein in? Eat 20 1oz portions a day?! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Hey sisters. Just got back from my post op appointment. It went great. I am 8 lbs down. He said the weight loss should pick up around 3 weeks post surgery because during thenfirst 3 weeks ur body is focused on healing after major surgery. After that time it kicks into gear on weight loss. Yayy. And i get to start my oureed diet. Im SO EXCITED!!!!!! so glad everyones doing great. Picked up my vitamins. He said i can take them as tolerated now and ease into the amt i need. One thing i need to do is stay off the scale three times a day lol. Im gonna try to weight once or twice a week. We will see if i can actually do that. Hahaha. He said during my sirgery they really contemplated just removing my lap band and doing sleeve in a later surgery due to it had slipped, caused a hernia he had to repair. But they ouffed up my stomach after and it looked great so they proceeded. Omg inwould have been soooo upset if they hadnt sleeved me. I know its for my own good but inselfishly want to get the show on the road and get rid of this big ol butt. Lol. Have a great week yall. Im gonna eat me some yogurt.

Hi guys, I'm now 8 days into my pre-op liver reduction diet. I eat an average of 5 low fat yogurts a day and 2litres of Water. I've LOST 25lb already in just 8 days. Is there anything wrong in losing too quickly? What has everyone else's losses been like on the pre op diet? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I would agree that saying you are on a high Protein diet is a good excuse. I doubt you will have to tell anyone other than the waiter. I do a lot of events, and people's dietary issues make it something that most menus can accommodate. If you happen to luck out because of over-dressed pre-plated items, soup is a good alternative or just eat the protein on your plate. Breakfast I would look for yogurt.

Might want to check with the surgeon, but I think the decaf might be a no go, only because of the acid. Not sure, it is a question, not an absolute, but worth checking on. I just like chocolate no sugar powder from GNC, I'll put in some vanilla yogurt and some Peanut Butter powder. I started adding coffee after week 6.

I wouldn't worry as much about stretching as I would about damaging your healing sleeve. Everyone's plan is different, and I would definitely suggest you stick to your surgeon's plan. Having said that, my plan allowed for *some* soft foods immediately after surgery. Things that could easily slide through a funnel such as broth (obviously), perhaps sugar free Jello or popsicles, and a bite of yogurt or some runny scrambled egg, but only a bite or two is what we were told and you must chew it extremely well....but again, that was MY plan. You should really check with your NUT/Surgeon before going off of your plan. Most of the hunger you experience at this point is nothing more than "head hunger" because your body is so used to receiving food on a regular basis....it will pass. For me, Water and chicken broth really helped, and if I felt super-hungry, I would make my Protein shakes a bit thicker (less water or almond milk) than normal so it felt more substantial. Best of luck!

Food items that I am scared of..
russm replied to Lema's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am six weeks out and have all of the things on your list except ice cream. I keep natural no sugar Peanut Butter packets in my back pack for a quick snack and have a teaspoon or two with fruit. I hate soft bread so I get firm bread from a local gluten free bakery and have a thin slice once in a while. I have had a tablespoon or so of rice and have had boiled or mashed potatoes. Canned Soup is not something I would normally eat. I tried it the liquid phase before making my own as I did not like the taste. Prior to surgery I regularly made homemade coconut yogurt but o do not do so anymore since it is not Protein dense enough for me. Sent from my SM-G925V using the BariatricPal App -
So I'm new to this but I had a hernia repair and a lap band revision to gastric sleeve on July 19th! I'm pretty excited with this new choice of life but confused at the same time. I never know if I'm eating enough I always have a rumble in my stomach. I'm not able to drink anymore than one bottle of Water a day. I sip on it all day but never exceeded one bottle. I know that's not good and I'm probably dehydrated but I feel stuffed after a few swallows but my stomach sounds like it needs food. I eat sf Jello, broth, Greek yogurt, and strained Soups but I'm not sure how much it too much. After two spoons of something I'm done. Is this normal?? My doctor has now allowed mushy foods. What should I eat and how much is normal? On the bright side I've lost a total of 19lbs but it sounds so unhealthy.

Late June Sleeve Buddies?
cb0929 replied to Maggie143's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm having some trouble with finding different foods to eat. I tend to eat the same items...grilled chicken, egg salad or scrambled eggs, cheese, yogurt, Peanut Butter... I think it's because I'm limiting myself the the foods that I actually like from the sheet my surgeons office gave me. I'm not sure where to start expanding what I eat. What are you guys eating when you go out to eat and for dinners/lunches at home? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
