I found the easiest way to get close to goals was to be sipping something every few moments while you are awake. For week 1 Protein was not important only fluids. Week 2 we added full liquids including Protein shakes, cream strained Soups, Greek yogurt and even cream of wheat. Week 2 was when I started feeling somewhat normal again but was not even close to hitting Water and protein goals. Even though you don't feel like it you need to keep on sipping or you will get dehydrated, dizzy and nauseated which are signs of dehydration. Some people have ended up back at the hospital because they just did not feel like sipping. Best of luck to you and congratulations!

1400 calorie diet
Destinee_1 replied to Jessica Smith_270718's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You will get through it... We had to loose 10% of our weight before the insurance company would authorize payment. It was a sign of good faith and intention. Surgery is a tool not a cure all like I it went in thinking (like lipo or something like that) lol. I learned processed foods have no business in my house, let along in my body or kids. Also, I am a pretty awesome cook. Something I forgot after having a bunch of babies and letting my husband start cooking lol. Now I didn't give up food just food with no real purpose. You need to get ready to take in at least 60g+ of protein a day in a tiny tummy. I did have random cheat days but knew what the goal was. Oh and cheat day i mean BBQ =extra proteins lol. An example of my dinner before would be baked chicken breast Cup of broccoli with a bit of Italian dressing in it (kids live it) and only a couple spoonfuls of Rice o Roni (carb are bad). I gave up soda pop a while ago and I'm glad I did. I can only imagine what pain I'd be in if I drank it today. Breakfast heck I ate bacon and eggs (egg whites are less calories) and bacon but only 2-3strips not half the lbs like before. Yogurt and Greek yogurt were good for snack for lunch I had a bunch of light Progresso Soups and salad or sandwiches. Keep in mind some of the store bought salads can have as many calories as Burger so watch the calorie content. You're better off making it yourself and can probably do it better and dress it up by throwing your own grilled chicken or steak from the night before....I'd Google some 1400cal diet recipes and go from there.

What are you eating 3 weeks post op?
Wonderwoman516 replied to fsulady's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Two days ago I started pureed/soft foods. I've had scrambled eggs, deli turkey, yogurt, Ricotta Bake (from http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com ), and pear. Tomorrow I'm thinking about refried Beans and guacamole. Obviously the amount of food is very small but it's better than just liquid and gives me hope for the future! -

Smell and taste after surgery
cupples0405 replied to RobertD16's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Me too. Use to hate Greek yogurt but now it is yummy. I'm still on full fluids so that's as far as I can go for now but the puréed stage should prove interesting. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
My nutritionist said as long as it's pourable, sf yogurt or pudding is okay. Just add some milk.

Working overnights and meal planning
endlessquest replied to kbuck3779's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I work overnights as well. I try to eat normally during the day...Breakfast when I get home which is usually a protien shake or yogurt. I then go to sleep by 8a till 1p. Have lunch. Go to the gym. Have my dinner around 6p. Go back to bed from 6p to 8p. Then head off to work. For the overnite shift I bring a youguart or protien bar to eat at 11p and a protien shake to drink at 330a. That's basically how I handle the overnite shift. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App -

I am one week po and getting 60 grams in daily. Are you drinking a Protein drink eating yogurt, cream Soups. Protein helps healing it is dangerous not to be getting any. I would call the surgeon. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

my puree phase allowed soft scrambled eggs, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, pureed lean meats, etc. I pretty much lived on tuna or salmon pouches or canned chicken pureed with plain greek yogurt for lunch and dinner. breakfast i had an egg, or yogurt or cottage cheese (small curd). I think with the puree phase - you just kind of have to get through it and look at what you are eating as necessary medication to get your protein in.
-
Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and refried beans are pretty standard for me.

Liquid protein
Destinee_1 replied to beauty and the beast's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My docs plan said to drink 4oz protein drinks 6x daily =about 24oz and in between that I was supposed to drinks 4-8oz of no calorie beverages crystal light, diet Snapple, broths, water etc. I feel fine a week out and have lost 10lbs so far but it is hard to wake up at 8am and take in all the recommended fluids by 6pm. It takes me until about 9pm still. The time it takes is getting better as my stomach heals. I am on full fluids for another 2 weeks but I get to have yogurt cream soups and cream of wheat too so its okay lol Good luck!!!! -
Magic Bullet to Puree and Has anyone brought thru TSA checkpoints
OKCPirate replied to trekker954's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Part of it depends on if you are going through TSA PRE. I have not had a problem with my blender, Protein powders et.al. in my carry on. It ticks me off that they consider yogurt a liquid, but I'm not going to get that bent out of shape. BTW, try to travel with some sort of rescue food. When I flew when I was at this stage, I usually ended up buying a Protein shake or Soup at the airport. I'd blend dinner in my room , (it's only for a week) -
Yes those goodies as I call it! My husband has chocolate chip cookies, chocolate covered Graham's, chips different kinds. So glad my taste changed! I tasted chips at 1 year post and gross! Chocolate of any kind oh except white tee hehe I can't stand. Peanut butter or anything with nuts is yuck to me. I used to love pp&j sandwiches. I can't even drink diet sodas, they burn in my belly? even to stir bubbles out it taste flat. I took a drink of my daughters oh man diet Dr Pepper, big mistake yuckie. Glad my taste has changed, though I eat real food now I will also put yogurt in freezer or now and then a scoop of frozen yogurt that comes in an ice cream container. My husband is not tolerant of dairy so he still love his frozen yogurt! So hopefully one of these days you can look at that "stuff" laying around on a table at work won't bother you as much

Thank you so much for such a sweet reply! I will be eating a lot of yogurt and light Protein shakes for sure. For a moment I thought I could only take in 15 grams of carbs a day, but I think it meant per serving, haha. I was like, "How am I going to survive this?!" XD I LOVE Crystal Light. I actually drink it right now even though I'm not on a diet. The lemonade one is so yummy! This week is going to be hard since my stomach is still big. After my surgery, I assume I won't be as hungry as I am now.

Feeling Horrible
annagene12 replied to forever changed's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Honestly, the liquid diet is agony. There is no way around it. I cheated 3 times, and I will not do it again. And on full meals, not just a little something to tide me over. We are addicts, and our bodies are purging carbs/sugars/caffeine and whatever else is in our diets. Headaches and lethargy seem to be par for the course. The first few days were the worst by far, and I found that after I ate real food I was back at square one. So, if you stick to the diet it will get better. I am begrudgingly on day 5, one week to go. I do miso broth for lunch, or get bone broths that I season with a little Worcestershire or spicy seasonings, lime, lemon, you name it. Anything to make it more bearable. You can also get unflavored Protein to add to soups if you prefer. I have no experience with them, but a lot of folks including my surgeon has recommended them. My diet does not include yogurt, cream of wheat, meat, veggies or any food other than Protein shakes and clear liquids. Blows. Its suckiness is unavoidable but YOU CAN DO IT. Just power through. Get your warrior swag on and swallow those shakes! If they are truly unbearable talk to your nut. I also use almond extract, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to make them more palletable. I even used pumpkin pie spice in a vanilla shake and it was pretty darn good. Also Thom Kha and Thom Yum thai soup broths are indeed mighty tasty - but steer clear of Tom Kha, it is made with coconut milk which is very high in fat/calories. -
One thing I wish I had known was how important protein is for health and weight loss. I might have never needed WLS. There are many sources of protein: supplements Meat (beef, poultry, fish, pork, lamb/mutton, goat, frog, shellfish, etc., etc,) Dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt) Nuts, Beans, and legumes (nuts, nut butters, beans, hummus, etc) Vegetables In my program guide there is a whole list of protein sources. Have you met with a nutritionist or had any nutrition education, yet? You mention a couple of times how you don't like chicken. There is no law that says you have to eat chicken. You don't have to eat chicken, it just happens to be easy to find, especially at restaurants. You don't have to eat bland food. You can use herbs and spices to flavor your food.

@@reddy4chng Going without Protein isn't an option. You have to force it down if you want to or not, if you feel hungry or not. Keep in mind Protein shakes count toward your liquid intake for the day with most Drs. As well as Yogurt, Jello and anything else that turns to liquid at body temp.

How restricted is your sleeve?
chycky replied to GetBack_095's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wait like 45 seconds to a Minute between each bite, im only 12 days post op tho so i haven't really ate any real food yet lol. But i can relate tho, i usually cook my food to a high temp to discipline me from eating too fast. Sent From Galaxy Note 5 using the BariatricPal App I am 2 weeks out - what are you eating? I am getting super bored of mushy eggs and stuff.....uhhh, I need ideas! Ha I am 4 weeks out so my diet options are likely more expanded. I cannot drink all day, as I have to do the 30/30 thing. I have yogurt, cottage cheese, some fruit, chicken, ground meat, some cooked veggies --- sounds more exciting when I write it, but 2 oz meals is hard to do more than one item. -
Thanks guys for the advice! Taking it all in one day at a time. Today I have a slight headache..I just took some ibuprofen. I can't have any yogurt. Only shakes, Jello, crystal light, broth, popsicles. .straight liquid..like no short cuts LOL...these popsicles will be a meal LOL..

Can someone explain PB powder, how you use it, benefits, etc?
jess9395 replied to LisaMergs's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I don't like that when they take the fat out they add sugar. I used to use it a bit, mixed with Greek yogurt as a dip or sprinkled in oatmeal or a protein shake... Now I just use real no sugar added peanut butter or Syntrax matrix PB Cookie protein powder -
Day 7 of Pre-Op Liquids - I need a few suggestions.
BarefootDrummer replied to BarefootDrummer's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@Laughkc11 - I love coffee, so I'll try adding those to shakes. Yes, I'm allowed no sugar added, low fat greek yogurt that has high Protein, but no chunks of any kind. I can also have skim milk. I agree that the salty soup flavor helped switch things up a bit. When I tried that ProtiDiet creamy chicken protein soup, it tasted like heaven! I hate it slowly with a spoon, imagining noodles in it. I'm sure before this diet I would not have liked it at all, but after 6 days of the sweet shakes and yogurts, it seemed like "real food".
