Haven't had the surgery yet, but I have a question.
Read2016 replied to Autumn Riley Arnold's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh boy the variety of advice were all getting makes it difficult for us to help... My nut said I'll come home on full liquids after 2 night in the hospital and on the 5th day out from surgery I can add Greek yogurt etc... The guidelines don't seem to be the same for anyone unless two people are using the same surgeon...

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20141006195341-7146982-protein-supplements-after-weight-loss-surgery-yes-or-no "Be Wary of Protein supplements in the Long-Term Protein shakes and powders can be convenient, but they’re not your best bet for long-term weight loss. As you progress from pureed foods to semi-solid and then solid foods, your surgeon will probably recommend that you stop drinking shakes and focus instead on solid sources of protein. They’re more substantial and satisfying than liquid shakes. They take longer to eat than drinking shakes. They’re easier to fit into a real-life eating plan. You won’t be “drinking your calories.” They have more natural nutrients than processed shakes and powders. Most weight loss surgery patients can get enough protein just by choosing one or two high-protein foods for each meal. You’ll get 60 to 80 grams with the following foods. Breakfast: 2 scrambled egg whites; light English muffin and some fruit. Lunch: cup fat-free cottage cheese and a green salad with 3 ounces of canned light tuna. Dinner: 3 ounces of chicken breast and steamed spinach. Snack 1: 1 low-fat cheese stick. Snack 2: 1 6-ounce container of plain low-fat yogurt and 1 cup carrot sticks." Just be careful with the primary source of protein/meals being shakes. -
Ok who is currently on a preop diet?!
tagyourit replied to Katrinakit's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started today on a two week full liquids diet. That includes 3 shakes a day with a sugar free full liquids to supplement. flavored Water, SF Jello and pudding, hot cereals, Popsicle, broth, low fat cream Soups and low fat yogurt. -
Are you eating a lot of onions, garlic or cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage or cauliflower? Those all give me gas. So do Beans. Beans is supposed to be helpful. It could be lactose too. You can try cutting out the lactose containing foods, or try lactaid. I personally find that if I eat yogurt frequently, my lactose intolerance stays mostly in check. (Hurray for good bacteria!)

Pre-Op Need Motivation Help !
heidikat72 replied to Serenity141's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I lost 15% of my starting weight during my 6 month medically supervised period (6th appointment was last week, now just awaiting insurance approval and hopefully surgery on June 17th). I wasn't trying to lose a specific amount, just not gain and wanted to start making some changes. This is what worked for me. 1. Log everything and I mean EVERY BITE into a tracker like myfitnesspal. Even just eat like you normally do for a couple of days so you can see where you are. 2. Next, stop drinking calories - no soda, no sweetened tea, no starbucks 3. Cut out potatoes and Pasta (wasn't much of a rice eater anyway but cut that out too). Cut out almost all bread - occasionally I'd have a sandwich for lunch on a whole wheat deli thin - but not every day. I did occasionally have oatmeal for Breakfast but made sure it was a higher Protein, lower sugar option like quaker weight control or think thin brand. 4. Meals basically consisted of lean meat and lost of non starchy veggies - think broccoli, brussel sprouts, spinach, swiss chard. Afternoon snack was typically a little greek yogurt and some berries. 5. Move more. I was pretty much sedentary when I started so I started by parking slightly further away at work (I now park a lot further away). And started with doing just 5 minutes on a pedal exerciser a couple of times a night. Now 6 months later I routinely get in over 5,000 steps a day but it was most definitely a gradual build. Do a little more each day - it really does add up over time! 6. Gradually reduce calories every couple of weeks. All of this was done with help of my NUT. She'd look over my food log every month and discuss what was good, what needed tweaking etc. I won't lie - while simple to figure out what to cut when you log, it is hard to do. But think of it as starting your healthy new life now. You can do it! -
When do we stop focusing on food?
StefanieSparklePants replied to girl4god77's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
At this stage, you want to focus on liquids and protein. Dehydration was a real problem for me around week 3. Keep sipping. Food, for me, was basically kept to peanut butter, soft scrambled eggs and refried beans. I lived on cottage cheese and yogurt forever too. -

Calories and protein at almost 3 weeks
Read2016 replied to angelb429's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try adding yogurt or cottage cheese to the Protein shake... Maybe in the blender with ice and cinnamon... I find the shake taste best when I use the blender.... "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein -
Calories and protein at almost 3 weeks
angelb429 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 19 days post op. Having a hard time getting in calories and Protein. I am barely making 300 calories daily. Protein shakes make me EXTREMELY nauseas, and I've tried many brands. I can tolerate yogurt, cottage cheese, broths. .and Water.. doc is on vacation but I see him on Fri. How and what is anyone else eating at this point?

Hemp seed are high in Protein too... I have them, I'm pre op... In reviewing my papers from the NUT, I see they will be allowed post op too... Hemp seeds are soft so easy to add to yogurt, have a nutty flavor similar to flax seed. "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein

When do we stop focusing on food?
Read2016 replied to girl4god77's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think the focus on planning food will never end... As a teacher we have a saying if you don't plan for kids, they'll plan for you... I kind of see it the same way with food, if you don't plan your meals you will wind of making poor choice.. I do believe the longer you follow high Protein eating the easier it will be and as you move along in the process you will find more and more sources of protein..600 calories does not sound healthy to me.. During my trip to traders joe yesterday, I found hemp seed... 10grams of protein per serving, good for adding to yogurt etc...

How do you keep your protein shakes from going bad?
Read2016 replied to ag0177's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I add lots of ice, keeping it in the fridge should be fine... I make mine with Water but will add Greek yogurt or cottage cheese or Peanut Butter.. Cinnamon or flax seeds...

Summer is here and I always CRAVE ice cream. I have a wonderful ice cream maker and want to make some frozen yogurt and high Protein ice cream. I have seen some recipes online for high protein recipes for people who are trying to build their muscles and I think I can make them (they are usually almond milk, Protein powder and fruit etc) I would love to find some sleeve approved recipes and frozen yogurt recipes. Does anyone have any they just love to share?

I've stumbled on some interesting things lately ... both good and bad. I thought I would share them here and hope that others will do the same. :-) First, I found a recipe that looked decent enough (in terms of nutritional value, taste and ease), but it did not include the nutrition information so I was not sure. I then discovered a website that I will calculate the nutritional value of any recipe. Pretty cool! Check it out: https://www.caloriecount.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php That recipe was really begging to be served with rice or another grain, but I didn't want to add all of those calories. Trader Joe's to the rescue with Organic Riced Cauliflower - only 20 calories a serving: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wsuc0S-HsB8/VXmclJbbQUI/AAAAAAAAVo4/zs9oUSbegTU/s1600/DSC03584.JPG Could I "rice" it myself? Sure, but boy was this ever quick and easy!! My last interesting find was not a good one. I decided to splurge last night with a flavored yogurt that was not non-fat (I know - crazy, right?). So I had a Noosa, which I've had before. As yogurt goes, it's quite decadent ... it's like dessert without being quite as bad, and the added benefit of lots of protein! I've only had it a couple of times before and enjoyed their berry flavors, but this time I opted for lemon. SO yummy!! The problem? I was reading the ingredients and it includes ... wait for it ... BUTTER!!! Who has ever heard of butter in yogurt?!? Blech. And it's only in the lemon flavor. How weird is that?!? So it's back to more tame fat-free yogurt for me. After all, if I'm going to indulge in butter, I wanna taste it, and I want it paired with something that makes a lot more sense than yogurt.

Low BMI Gastric Sleeve story
tryingtobemybest replied to lady10000000000's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Im 11 days post-op. Soft food stage. I feel energy is low understandably since im not taking in as much. I feel i am still finding my way with food like what goes down easily and what doesn't . yogurts and banana are good, egg not so much. I don't feel hungry either ! its quite strange. Water and liquid intake is a struggle, i need to work on it. -
Hi. I eat lite baby bell cheese mini's, nature valley crunchy granola bars, nestle sugar free Popsicles, Yogurt, jello, crackers.

How many ounces are you ACTUALLY eating?
dashofsunshine replied to Afrikanaaa's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
18 months out and I max at 4 oz - I can eat 5 oz if it's yogurt (well, some days, lol...). With everything, some days I can only eat less than 4 oz, but I always max out at 4. I get around 900 calories per day and am in maintenance. Good luck! -
Btw... get some Greek yogurt. I watered mine down with almond milk. Not to liquid form, just thinner. It was a HUUUGE mental boost. I did that around day 5 or 6. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App
