Frozen dinner question
Inner Surfer Girl replied to bevewhite's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I agree that most of those meals are carb heavy and full of sodium and preservatives. For me it is fairly easy to pick a Protein and then add a vegetable it fruit. (For instance, turkey breast and green Beans or roasted Brussels sprouts or similar; cottage cheese with fresh tomato; Greek yogurt with fresh berries; chicken patty and a green vegetable; etc.) It tastes so much better than frozen meals anyway and is really easy.. -
Anyone else set for 4/20 or there abouts?

Anesthesia is not my friend. That's what caused my issues. Incisions are not bad, intake is awful. Can't manage much. Better than yesterday so you are right it will get better. Sent from my XT1080 using the BariatricPal App When are you allowed full liquids? I start tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it. I sometimes cramp a little when drinking, but I'm getting in most of my required fluids.I can have full liquids now as well as yogurt & puddings. Not feeling it. Not meeting my goals but still trying. Better today than yesterday. Sent from my XT1080 using the BariatricPal App -
Eating the same meals
Inner Surfer Girl replied to Lisa_85's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What do you like? Try fish, tuna, turkey, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, etc. My Breakfast this morning was Greek yogurt with fresh raspberries. Yesterday for dinner I cut up some tomato, and added some tzatziki sauce, a little feta, Kalamata olives and mixed it into cottage cheese. -
ANY QUICK MEAL SUGGESTIONS
Inner Surfer Girl replied to MzStockton's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
It depends on your stage. Pre-op, my NUT said Lean Cuisines, etc. we're fine but to add a bag of frozen vegetables (like broccoli) to make them healthier and more satisfying. During my two-week pre-op diet which was high protein, no starches/carbs I ate a lot of turkey breast, tuna, cheese, etc. Now that I am post-op a year and on full foods, I still eat a lot of turkey breast, tuna, cheese, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, black Beans, chicken, etc. -
Three months Post-Op, Interesting news from my NUT today....
esskay77 replied to BlueBongo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That isn't too much weight loss in that time frame for a WLS person. In fact, it seems fairly normal for us. The NUT knows you had surgery, right? I am surprised they said to up your carbs this soon. I would have thought they would up your Protein. I don't know if I do this right but I always try to have a snack in the morning and one in the afternoon and it's protein. Usually a yogurt or some string cheese or a bit of cottage cheese. How many grams of protein are you getting in each day? (I'm not a NUT so don't have an educated opinion but all these NUTs don't seem to know what they are doing either, especially for WLS). There are several people on there that I hope post because they have blogged and done some great things and seem to have this down better than me. And also--congratulations on the weight loss!! -

Pureed food suggestions
KristenLe replied to Breepad09's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't think I'll be able to do pureeing my food. I'm going to try things like scrambled egg, beans, cottage cheese, hummus, canned tuna, canned chicken, yogurt, soft cheese, soup, ground beef. Remember to get enough protein. Watch out for carbs and sugars. Maybe its from working in a nursing home and hospital for years but the thought of pureeing normal food makes me want to gag. -
Met with my nutritionist today (7.5 weeks out) for anyone that is curious i thought id share. she said she's thrilled with my progress and that I'm right on track. On my high cardio days (I'm burning 300-600 just from cardio) to get my calorie count up to 900-1000 and on days I don't (weekends) to get close to 700-800. Otherwise she thinks my weight loss is perfect for my height. She said to stay in this calorie range during the losing phase, and that it really won't change much until after I hit goal and get to maintenance. So I'm okay to get comfortable in the 700-1000 calorie range for now. She also said that at almost 2 months and with my cardio I'm doing she would like to see me get in closer to 80-90g of protien. Right now I'm getting about 70g. And she LOVES the fact that I'm getting 90+% of my protien from chicken/yogurt/nuts etc. She also said she thinks I will be able to reach 160lbs easily. After that the weightloss will get harder. P.s. I'm currently doing about 1 hour of cardio per day (broken up into 3 segments) about 1/2 of it I'm running at a 6.5mph pace and the rest I'm walking at a 3.0-3.5mph pace on a 6% incline. This is everything I'll eat today except for dinner.

I am 3 weeks too and I don't have an appetite. If I eat a Jello cup, I can't squeeze in the last bite. I know this is only temporary so I am eating the jello, popsicles and broth. I did just try Greek yogurt yesterday and a half cup of tomato Soup watered down. I think you and I only have this for a short time before we want things that we can't have. I am loving the baggy clothes and as long as I take my Vitamins and I got a few good drink mixes from bariatric pal, I am good for now. How do you feel?

Transitioning to regular diet
MiteyMom replied to kahula18's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
OMG I can't believe you all can eat!! I'm two months post RNY and still on soft food and not much of that. Just about everything makes me nauseous. Food that causes less nausea is low fat refried beans, cottage cheese, unsweetened yogurt, strawberries, some soups like turkey barley, and grilled shrimp. I still need the shakes though to get the 80-120grams of protein per day. It's a daily battle for me. -

How many calories per day in the first few months?
swizzle posted a topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I need some advice from some bariatric veterans out there...I am almost 4 weeks out and worry that I'm already doing this wrong. I've been following my NUT's instructions, and am on the soft food stage (scrambled eggs, purees, tuna, yogurt, etc). She told me to continue doing the Protein shakes (60-80g daily) and incorporate two or three 2-4 tbsp meals in addition to this. She did not mention the amount of calories I should be getting daily. Well. I worry because it's already about 400 with the Protein Shakes (sometimes more if I use almond or skim milk), and then adding the small meals per day I am nearing 700 calories daily, and a lot of things I've read and heard is to try and stay between 300-600 calories per day. And this is at the very minimum amount of food, so I worry I'm already messing up! So my question is, what calorie range should I be within at this point, and how do people get all their protein without going over? (Some of the meals I make are 1 scrambled egg, salsa and cheese with a tiny bit of avocado mushed in / tuna and hardboiled egg with mustard and paprika / oikos triple zero greek yogurt / tilapia and mushed cauliflower) What sort of daily meals do you guys do? ***ALSO, as it gets further down the road, say 6 months+, how many tablespoons or ounces of food would you say you eat in a meal? I'm just hoping to get a frame of reference THANKS!! -
Trouble with protein/fluid intake
Juhygtfrdsd replied to myglassesareon's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Temp, temp temperature!! I LOVED ice cold water...not no more..warm, room temp or hot...isopure has several flavors and each bottle has 40gm protein...i only care for the ice tea flavor...the rest i dont care for they are a bit expensive but just try them...aso i warm up my protein in the microwave just for a few seconds...not sure about your nutritionist but yogurt, ricotta,pudding,cottage cheese was on my ok list in the liquid phase both protein!! I made baked ricotta...so many ways to get your protein in....when i first got sleeved they told me not to worry about protein until about a few days later...to just focus on liquids...i did top ramen...flavors i liked just poured out the liquid...tossed the noodles lol...dr thought that was brilliant lol -

Demonchick we don't have that brand here in NZ all the yogurts are around the same Protein levels here Sent from my iPhone -
I like salty, crunchy Snacks for the most part. I love whisps, which are basically Parmesan cheese chips. Less than 1 carb per serving and 9 g of Protein. I eat those or Quest Protein chips when I need that satisfying, salty crunch. I also like pickles, olives, Sargento cheese snacks (the new little baby stick ones come in several flavors, and about 5 of them is the perfect snack for me), a few slices of deli meat, a few almonds, etc. You get the gist. I also like light & fit Greek yogurt, and half an apple with a little bit of Peanut Butter as a treat. I keep my carbs at around 30-40 total per day (not net carbs, but total carbs), and I never really crave them anymore. I kept them at 20 total per day while I was actively really trying to get to goal.

I shoot for 84 ounces of clear fluids Had surgery on the 28th. I get grams between about 90 grams of protein a day. My calories are usually under 500 and I my average workout burns about 500 calories. I am hoping when I move to the next food phase it will mean a little more calories so I am not so tired all the time. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk -

Good idea I do have some photos like that but not recent (another failed diet) I have never done measurements but it's a good idea my boobs have shrunk that's about it haha with regards to Protein being on purée I can't get enough protein in I've been doing terribly with eating food during the day I manage a yogurt and a coffee I know that once I go onto solids I can back it up with some Protein Bars if needed as I'm on the road for my job breaks don't exist and I forget to eat and drink I need to get On top of it.

I bake salmon as its so so soft and I mix it into a small amount of mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes but it's mostly salmon it goes down better than white fish for me as its more oily I am too low on the calorie side at the moment if I was counting calories I may find salmon higher than white fish but for me now it's a life saver. I cannot keep down reheated foods as they are to dry it has to be freshly cooked I also eat yogurt Scrambled egg Cottage cheese And not much else Sent from my iPhone

Jenmv - I don't have gas or reflux. I can have Protein shakes and yogurt shakes etc. I drink all day but I still need more "substance." I know it will get better once I start the puréed phase. Thanks for the egg drop soup suggestion. I think I can have that. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Helpful tools at home post-surgery
lifeofblair replied to Alphabetize's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm in Memphis too! Who is doing yours? I went to St. Francis. I didn't really use anything different kitchen tools wise. I just stocked up on Protein powder/drinks and sugar free popsicles. I did get a bunch of those ziploc plastic containers. They have the small ones that hole 4 oz and that's I measured meals once I got to that stage. I put my yogurt, eggs, etc in them and grabbed and headed out the door. -
7 weeks post opp and still cant eat any solids
ChiTwnSwitch posted a topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
7 weeks out from Duodenal switch (surgery feb 23rd 2016) and very frustrated, I cant eat anything hardly at all. All I do is drink Protein shakes (2-30g protein each a day) and liquids i can't do more the dairy starts reeking havoc on me then (Water, juice, soup). i get about 60+ oz of liquids a day but i cant eat almost anything solid still. Some (crackers with cheese spread, Peanut Butter crackers sometimes, scrambled eggs only sometimes, yogurt and that's about it. I try thin lunch meat one day it's ok with some minor discomfort next day i try it I throw up, one day some fish my stomach goes crazy numbly and gas but stays down the next day i try it I throw up. same with eggs, ground beef, shredded chicken etc. I was just tested last week Wednesday for a stomach leak and they found nothing it came back normal i'm so confused. I read about so many others eating fine and way earlier than me and I try to eat and when I do my stomach goes crazy and I get cramping, its not worth trying anymore. I chew everything like crazy i am very careful and its not helping, I am at my so frustrated and don't even want to try because I don't want to do damage my stomach by trying and throwing up if it does not agree with me. I meet with my doctor again tomorrow but conversations over the phone they did not seemed concerned. I am very concerned because I read posts here and many are eating almost everything at this stage and I can't even handle the basics like scrambled eggs. I am worried because I started at 356 the with my mandated monitored diet from insurance I dropped to 324 the day of my surgery and i'm already down to 271 (53 lbs) in only 50 days and worried i'm losing weight too fast and once i start to eat i will stop losing. I am really regretting my decision, has anyone experienced something similar? -
If you have had the balloon... any advice for someone getting it this week? things you wish you did/asked?
dedegold replied to michelleg46's topic in Gastric Balloon Forum
Make sure you get all the prescriptions the dr. gives you filled. Use the anti-nausea medicine right away, as soon as the nausea starts. I did stock up on Propel (zero calories) and greek yogurt. eggs, and string cheese. I start my day with a Pure Protein shake made with unsweetened almond milk. I went on solid food about 36 hrs after the balloon was put in. Some people don't start solid foods for a week, But my dr. said to eat when I was ready. I also got chicken salad and tuna salad to eat but that was week 2. Good luck !! -
Struggling truck driver post op
heidikat72 replied to LadiiReignBeau's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I would definitely suggest the pouches of tuna and salmon. They have some great flavors, no refrigeration required and no can opener needed! Most of the ones I've tried have about 13-15 grams of Protein per 2.6 oz pouch. Keep some bottled Water with you and maybe the Syntrax nectar Protein powder - fruity flavors that go well dissolved in water? And the cooler sounds like a great idea for keeping some cottage cheese and greek yogurt, maybe some laughing cow cheese wedges etc.
