    Salad

    A food that's usually doesn't have any nutritional value that "slides" easily through your sleeve allowing you to consume larger portions. Sometimes it's not an issue and helpful to get your Protein (yogurt, creamed soups) but other times when it's popcorn, chips, ice cream, etc - it's not a good thing.
  2. I am a 46 year old female living in NC, and really need someone who has been through this process to help me through mine. I am a slow loser. HW 235 SW 219 CW 203. I have identified a few areas that needed some change--I was taking in too much sugar for about 2-3 weeks (hidden in my greek yogurt) and I felt pretty stupid for missing that. I desperately need to break out of this stall I have been dealing with for 3 weeks. I can't seem to get under 200 to save my soul...even after reducing the sugar--I read every label carefully these days!! I never thought it would be harder to lose after surgery. I really expected my weight loss to just be automatic as long as I followed my plan. Nothing could be further from the truth! I am trying to get more exercise, but I have fibromyalgia, so I have to be very careful or I can land myself in bed for three days. I think my body is just holding on for dear life; afraid I will starve so it won't let go of too much weight yet. Anyway, if we have anything in common, or if you think you might be able to help me, please get in touch. Thank you!
  3. On Tuesday I will begin eating cream Soups and liquid yogurts drinkable yogurt and I'm needing some ideas as to what I'm able to eat besides cream of chicken cream of mushroom cream of celery Soup and my able to write blend vegetables together and eat them either. Can anybody give me some ideas as to what else I'm able to eat for the next 2 to 3 weeks 2 weeks on this second and third week thank you Sent from my SM-N900T using the BariatricPal App
  4. Day 12 of my pre-op diet and I've lost 12 lbs. Can't complain about that. I'm actually doing pretty well on it since they allow plain oatmeal, Greek yogurt, and veggies, as well as replacing one of the four shakes with a few ounces of chicken or fish or some egg whites. I'm being creative with what my menu options are for these two weeks. I met with my surgeon on Friday to discuss the risks and what's to come after. I am amazingly calm and not nervous at all. My surgery is Tuesday morning, 7/19 at 8:45am. I'm trying not to think about pain and gas (and gas pain). I'm just looking forward to the newly shaped me that is on it's way! Best of luck to all the other 7/19-ers (as well as everyone else here).

    July 8th 2016 surgery

    Great progress! I've lostb18lbs total. Not too much pain, more uncomfortable than anything. I walk alot which really seems to help. My original bmi was 31. I'm still on somewhat liquids and yogurt consistency. Sent from my SM-N920T using the BariatricPal App

    Consultation Tomorrow for VSG

    @@TracyBar It really is a bit of an emotional rollercoaster for me. I'm not swinging really high or really low, but I feel a little bit off. I'm not sleeping really well so I'm assuming that doesn't help, but I have no doubt the hormones are doing something! Stage 2 in our program is just broth, pureed, non-cream based Soups, yogurt and fluids. I would kill for a scrambled egg! When is your surgery?
  7. My pre-op diets have been pretty straightforward: 4 whey Protein isolate shakes per day (I like Syntrex Nectars, 0 fat, 0 carb, 25 protein) made with Water or skim milk (skim changes the carb/prot count slightly... I actually use unsweetened vanilla almond milk which adds fewer calories than skim milk). I can also have 1+ cup of strained, low-fat cream soup like Healthy choice (I like the chicken and the celery) OR 1 Light and Fit greek yogurt. I can also have unlimited sugar free Jello and sf popsicles, and drink whatever non-carbonated, sugar-free, Clear liquids I like, including decaf coffee. There's pretty much no guess work here! DISCLAIMER... I AM NOT YOUR DOCTOR (but I do have a degree in nutritional biochemistry). FOLLOW THE DIET PLAN YOUR DOCTOR OR NUT GAVE YOU. However, since you asked, I honestly think your diet is way too high in carbs for it to be effective in burning glycogen from your liver (a.k.a. liver shrink). Glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrate, stored in many tissues but mostly the liver. When your diet is deficient in carbohydrate, your body converts that stored glycogen to glucose, the sugar that we need for energy and cell function, thereby shrinking your liver. All that fruit, bread, crackers, and potato in your diet is recognized by your body as glucose. Since you're getting adequate glucose from your diet, your body won't detect the need to convert the glycogen in your liver to glucose- you already have enough.
  8. Beef chicken turkey or pork jerky, greek yogurt oikos triple zero, cheese stick, veggie sticks with hummus or almond/peanut butter, boiled egg, grilled veggies, etc.

    Hungry

    I follow the soft foods meal plan (stage 3), but I get hungry. One to two ounces of turkey doesn't cut it, even if it's followed by 1/4 cup of yogurt. And the "slice" of pear? I had a whole nectarine and was not uncomfortable. I'm finding myself reaching for a Protein shake or low fat string cheese to tide me over between meals. I know I'm not supposed to snack. Anyone else have this problem? Also, I'm on my 7th day of a stall. I am exercising and drinking my Water and taking Vitamins.
  10. Hi y'all, I'm about 3 weeks out from surgery and I'm starting mushy foods tomorrow, right in time for vacation. However, in the full liquid stage, I've had some trouble eating certain foods (yogurt, milk, some types of protein) because of nausea. This has caused me to not eat as much as I should be able to during my full liquid stage. I'm excited to be able to eat more "real" foods but I'm terrified of getting sick. In addition, I am very sensitive post surgery to flavor and aftertaste. I am already very tired all of the time and I'm worried that nausea and my picky taste buds will keep me from beginning to increase my calorie intake. Have any of you struggled with something similar? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  11. a little side note on flax seed, our body cant process the whole seed, so either grind it our get the ground. i eat flax seed and chia seeds in my yogurt.

    Tackling Depression

    I am 9.5 weeks post op and I wish there was a switch I could turn on that tells my brain I am no longer going to have a "normal" meal. Well what I used to consider normal anyway. My depression was bad before but is even worse now. I find myself mad that I can't get more than a 1/4 cup in at a time. An Oikos Greek yogurt substitutes two meals sometimes. Attending parties and general family dinners are no fun. And I'm so sick of meat!!! Can't keep beef down at all...pork was ok..turkey and chicken is about it...and 2 oz at that. I am down 70 lbs from the start of this journey and it feels great to buy smaller clothes, but I wish my brain could change as fast as my body. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

    Starting week 2

    I do not know what type of surgery you had but if you are in week 2 post-op after surgery, a Protein shake is a much better choice. smoothies even those that do not add sugar contains quite a bit of natural sugar and as a result calories. The weight loss phase is relatively short and then you slide into the maintenance phase. So you want to maximize your weight loss during the weight loss phase. Several months from now when you enter the Maintenance phase, you might try smoothies again. I have included a recipe for a berry smoothie at the end of the following article.

    Movie theater snack

    I took a Greek Yogurt with a plastic spoon to watch Secret Life of Pets. It practically lasted me the whole movie. (I didn't forget to take a few deep sniffs of my husband's popcorn but the batch smelt a bit stale so I didn't even feel like I was missing out).

    Confessions of overeating...

    I ve changed animal protein to vegetal ones. I can't eat chicken anymore or pork or turkey. It hurts too much and I don't like the taste anymore. I eat instead cottage cheese, peanut butter, alpro yogurt, greek yogurt, tofu, black beans, lentils, eggs, milk. I feel is time to become a vegetarian.
  17. So not sure if you mean liquid + stage (which for me was week 2 post op) or mushy phase as my nut calls it week 3-6. During liquid+ I got to add creamy soup and yogurt. In the latter stage i got to add cottage cheese, eggs, deli meat, limited veggies, and "soft meat."
  18. I have heard if you take a tablespoon of flaxseed with yogurt every day this will keep you regular. I have bought the flaxseed but have not started using it yet. Will leave feedback to let you know if it works. I believe it can be added to other food items as well. I have gone through ordeals with irregularity since surgery and did not have this problem prior to surgery.

    Is something wrong with me?

    Only 8 weeks out....you should probably still be on pureed to soft foods as tolerated. Sent from my SM-G800R4 using the BariatricPal App Oh I do only eat soft puréed food. Mostly Oikos triple zero Greek yogurt, but while on vacation I've "tried" other stuff. Emphasis on tried. Like I said, because I can't find any good food while on vacation, I've been drinking and mostly surviving on premiere Protein Drinks. When I said I tried a chicken strip, I didn't eat the whole thing. Tried. Also had 2 French fries. 2. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Is something wrong with me?

    @@KariLovesColorado go for lean meats/cheese, Soups without noodles in them, cottage cheese and yogurt, scrambled eggs, and the like. I wasn't allowed to eat salad until like 3 months out as well, and I still don't eat it often because it fills my stomach up and prevents me from getting in Protein, which I'm only now doing easily. When I crave veggie crunch, I eat pickle slices, banana peppers, or some onions with my lean protein. It helps a lot to break up the monotony and puts some extra Fiber into my diet.
  21. Yes you will be able to eat more than a cup. I still drink Unjury shake most days twice. Then a sensible dinner, in between I will munch on fruit or veggies. I do throw in about 4 yogurt pretzels sometime for a treat. I've been at a stand still for a long time so this is what I'm doing to try and get things moving again. I still have about 11 pounds to get rid of. It's so hard for me to cook meals that I should be eating, my husband loves his noodles and rice. This was my staple for years seeing we've been together for11 years. On those days I have had a cup of spaghetti, or a bit of rice when I fix him chicken and rice. I have gotten the whole wheat noodles and rice and he can't tell the difference.
  22. food funerals... sigh. I remind myself that with the sleeve there is a much lower chance of dumping, so if I want to have a sip of champagne or a bite of cake at a wedding, it'll be OK. I keep in mind that I won't be giving up foods, I'll be giving up QUANTITY. The first year, of course, will be harder as there are foods that aren't recommended for a long time after surgery, but it won't be forever. I am following a moderate fat, high Protein, low carb regimen while waiting for surgery, and it's going OK. I started this process in January. My surgery has been postponed twice, and each time I was more than half-way through the pre-op diet (1st time was 13 days, 2nd time was 9 days), so of course I spent a couple of days being bad; food choices included beer, pizza, wings, ice cream. However, after 2 or 3 days, I went back to 2 shakes, a greek yogurt, and dinner of grilled meat and veggies. I've also been on vacation twice during this time. I've lost about 35 pounds and am holding steady. Now I have to figure out when I can reschedule surgery that will fit into my family and work schedule!
  23. I am 2 weeks post op today. Ready to add more foods. Yes it is a full time job especially in this Philly heat! I will definitely look for that Triple Zero yogurt, thanks rebecca w Sent from my LGLS740 using the BariatricPal App
  24. The first couple of months are the hardest. I felt like all I did was drink water and eat all day long. It was a constant struggle. Try to find thing you like to eat. I personally hated retried beans pre-surgery. Now I keep 2-3 can on hand because I eat them all the time now even 11 months out. Also, ricotta cheese was something I didn't ever eat pre-op, but now it is a staple in my diet. Greek yogurt was another go to the first couple of months pre-op. It is good for getting protein in with some calories. At this stage just remember to eat or drink a protein shake every couple of hours and the calories and protein will add up. You can do this. Before you know it you will be 6 months out and this phase will be a distant memory.

    WLS Part 2 - Electric Boogaloo

    Thanks Valentina! Day 4 also has gone well so far, expect for my thoughts of going to buy burgers and pizza. I have maintained for today by just having a yogurt with my three Protein shakes and Water. I just want the 25th to hurry up. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
