How are you guys getting all your liquids and proteins in?!
Candygyrl replied to jenc427's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's tough. 2 weeks post op. I have to worry about food more than I did before surgery. Before, I just wouldn't eat all day and just binge on a great meal at dinner. Now, I have to plan. I'll be on purees starting tommorrow. But my first 3 items of each day is Water, premier Protein (30g), and a triple zero greek yogurt. Those are easy to do on the go and I can't have anything else until I do. After that i sip on ice cold water, Popsicles whatever and have my meals in between. Anytime I leave the house for an extended trip- transporting kids, baseball games, movies, i take a protein drink with me. It takes awhile for me to get tired of something. So I'll keep doing that just to get that protein in. You'll get used to it. And your hair will thank you! -
OK, not trying to be mean, but there actually are stupid questions lol
blueeyez replied to anniebanana's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
People should be able to ask whatever the heck they want without judgement from the very people that are supposed to be their support system. If this person wants a PB and J like someone said earlier you could say not your best choice right now but have you thought about something like a PB&J Protein shake or PB&J yogurt but to flat out say someone is "stupid" for asking a question....yes i stand by my response totally uncalled for and yes bully behavior... We are all on this journey together and it is not an easy journey for anyone so putting someone down for asking a question I think is totally uncalled for!! Have a little compassion gets you so much further in life then putting people down!! -

Try Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and soup. -
How are you guys getting all your liquids and proteins in?!
rebecca wills replied to jenc427's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hear yah! But I've gotten some easy high Protein items like the yogurt called triple zero that has 27 grams for vanilla. It goes down good! And I'm drinking at every pee break at night. Two shakes and yogurt gets you well over 60. So add your protein meals your gold. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I'm so hungry! (pre-op diet)
Clarevoyant replied to 8petals's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My pre-op diet is liquids only per my dr with the exception of Greek yogurt and sugar free Jello. Some people don't even have to do it at all so each dr has preferences. I'm supposed to be getting 800-1000 calories but averaging about 600. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Fluids/purees stage!
Twinmom07 replied to missblonde20's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi! I am 8 days post op and in the "full liquid" stage. I have been eating creamed soups, like cream of chicken, cream of Potato, etc. I put it in the blender with some milk and unflavored protein powder and blend it up real good. That has been pretty good. Also Greek yogurt and sugar free pudding and added Carnation vanilla mix for protein. So far, it has been goo. Not sure if that is much help, but that's what I have tried so far! Good luck! -
hey there! Sleeved on 7/7. Down 10lbs also. I also feel the pain in the same spot. Annoying. But better each day Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Hey! Today marks a week for me and it was the least painful so far. I find I'm struggling with textures, yogurt and Protein shakes especially. I did break down and eat cottage cheese and that and chicken broth with protein powder has saved me! Hope your feeling well as tomorrow is a week for you!

Don't feel well after eating meat
Bufflehead replied to azsoul's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
2 ounces might be too much so early on. Try one ounce and see if that works better. If not, maybe try more protein-rich foods that might be easier to digest, like cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, eggs, and refried beans. Personally I would stay away from foods like crackers and chips -- those are the types of food that made most of us obese in the first place. And I would only eat fruit if accompanied by high protein food, like berries in your yogurt or peaches with cottage cheese. I am not a fan of protein bars, nutritionally speaking (glorified candy bars IMO) but I realize mine is a minority opinion there! -
How many meals are suppose to have in a day? I've been trying to get to 90g of Protein but I usually get about half or a little more. I usually do premiere protein or triple zero yogurt for Breakfast, the tuna creations packet for lunch, and one of my ricotta bake recipes for dinner. Is it too much/not enough? I've been working out almost daily and wondering if this is effecting me as well. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How do you get in enough Calories a day?
VSGAnn2014 replied to reachbree's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Add melted cheese to the Beans. You will LOVE that. Then add chopped (pureed?) chicken to the beans / cheese. And some seasonings. Mmm ... mmm! Find a luscious flavored Greek yogurt. Twelve grams of Protein at the very least. Most people love it. I did. I was also into nonfat milk -- am a milk drinker. Make some chili and puree it a little (not all the way). Add a dollop or two of sour cream. Did I mention cheese? Mmm ... makes me want to do a week of "soft foods" again. -
I feel like I can hold too much..
hbrhonda replied to Mjohnson4631's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Make an effort to measure your foods anyways, even slider foods. Your new tummy is still healing. My favorite new thing is 5 oz dixie cups not quite full. I drink water, zero gatorade, protein shake, and put yogurt, measure out soup. Then Voila toss them out!! -

chycky replied to Mjohnson4631's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I agree. I felt same way on full liquid/cream. Now on mushy foods like chicken salad it is a few bites and if I eat too fast or don't chew not good. When on soups, shakes, cottage cheese, and yogurt I thought I could eat much more than the serving. -
I feel like I can hold too much..
Mjohnson4631 posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Apart from a couple shakes I usually have a small 6oz cup of cottage cheese and fruit, or a cup of yogurt, or I can even hold a whole egg and slice of cheese.. I'm 3 wks out from surgery. I see people a year out that only hold a few bites.. It makes me concerned about my intake.. I'm not overly full either. Suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I feel like a huge baby, especially after reading other posts about people being hungry after surgery. I'm sorry if I sound like a huge baby, but this pre-op diet SUCKS!!!!???? My surgery is 7/25. I started my pre-op diet yesyetday. I'm allowed two Protein shakes a day (Breakfast and lunch) and 2 oz of lean meat, and 1 cup of veggies for dinner. I am seriously so hungry! I've drank so much Water today to try and not be so hungry, but it's not helping so much lol. Did anyone else have a difficult time during their pre-op diet? I gotta say though, my kid is freaking awesome! My 12 yr old daughter has decided to give up all sugar, sodas, Snacks, and unhealthy carbs during my pre-op phase; she's doing amazing! Then today, my stepson wanted to try it with us too. He said he loves it lol. Now all the kids want to eat healthier which makes me SO HAPPY!!! My fiancé has 3 kids, and I have 2, so in total we have 5. My fiancé fully supports my decision to have surgery, but he said from the beginning that he wouldn't want to change his diet with me, but he did today. He loves chips and dip, and instead of having that as a snack tonight, he had a yogurt and a banana which made me really happy. I also needed him to pick up a few things at the grocery store this evening, and he told me he had ice cream sandwiches, but decided to put them back. I am so unbelievably thankful for the support I have, and that's just at home. Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

Feel like I'm eating crap
chycky replied to charley27's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Icelandic yogurt is great as shared. There are many brands and sometimes it is called Skyr. It is smoother and not bitter like Greek yogurt. I wouldn't eat it all day because it has much more carbs -- I don't think I have ever seen it in plain flavor. -

ShortieChangin replied to charley27's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know what you mean with the lack of options. I'm very adamant about eating clean - artificial ingredients actually make me ill & finding all natural foods that fit what I'm allowed to eat does not offer much variety. Look for this yogurt called Smari, it's Icelandic yogurt. It's higher in Protein, lower in sugar, and in my opinion tastes better than Greek yogurt. Target carries it.

Feel like I'm eating crap
magoosmom replied to charley27's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yeah I am ready for some real meat and not so many carbs. I don't eat a lot of carbs normally so having grits, mashed potatoes, refried Beans, Etc is not my cup of tea. I have had Greek yogurt but dairy and I never got along too well. But it's just a little longer--one more week--and then I can have fish and other higher Protein.

Inner Surfer Girl replied to Alaa1986's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved in April of 2015, so I am over a year out. I have lost over 200 pounds from my highest weight and still have quite a ways to go. Fortunately, I have rarely experienced nausea or other issues related to eating. For me, drinking plain Water was the hardest thing to do post-op. I get my 100 grams of Protein by eating a lot of Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, tuna, turkey, Beans, chicken, fish, cheese, etc. -

Met my Surgeon today!
KristenLe replied to abreland's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@abreland Go with a high proten/low carb. Protein - tuna, chicken, fish, cottage cheese, cheese, greek yogurt, Beans, etc. Some good carbs would be fruit and vegetables (no Pasta, rice, bread, sweets, etc.). Good fat would be avocado, nuts, olive oil, etc. My plan suggests less than 5 gms of sugars (added sugar) and less than 5 gms fat in a serving of what I eat. Your nutritionist should be able to give you more information and guidance. Ask questions - and write everything down - ask for handouts for anything you may need too. Good luck. -
@...when eating food are you tracking carbs?....I know for me staying below 30g of carbs is what it takes to see the scale go down............I eat mostly chicken or fish, greek yogurt, and non starchy veggies.....no breads, pasta, rice or potatoes.

So confused...
justhere4theshow replied to justhere4theshow's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have been getting about 80 grams of protein, as much water as I can hold, and I eat a meal replacement bar for breakfast, for lunch I have greek yogurt with a scoop of protein powder, in the afternoon I get really hungry and I will usually have a small snack of chicken salad with about 5-6 Ritz cracker chips (which are less than 100 calories) and then for dinner I either just have a protein shake or chicken. I have snacked on some fruit here and there (fresh peaches) but I have pretty much stayed under 1200 calories which is what my surgeon advised. I feel like the surgery has literally had no effect at all. I have a call into my nutritionist. I can't take much more of this. -
Nighttime leg cramping.
KristenLe replied to ag0177's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
@@ag0177 It could be dehydration, low potassium, low calcium, etc. I would also be concerned about a blood clot (DVT). Try using some compression stockings to see if that helps. Try drinking something with electrolytes. Depending on the stage you are in - you could add some foods with potassium - Beans, bananas, squash, potatoes (with skin), yogurt, avocado. If it gets worse - don't hesitate to call your Dr again - blood clots are extremely serious - but so is low potassium. -

FrankyG replied to charley27's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Refried Beans with a little cheese or unflavored greek yogurt (tastes like sour cream but higher protein). Cheese sticks (loved string cheese in the early days) chicken or tuna salad (I love doing chicken salad with a few red grapes chopped up, some mayo and a touch of curry powder)
