@@mel6020 - Sorry you felt ridiculed. We are all here to support one another. You can ask any question here--and usually they will be well received. And sometimes you may get a little tough love. Everyone wants you to succeed. I think even those of us with the most ferocious of appetites, myself included, have had situations in our lives that have made us lose our appetite (ex. stress, fear, etc). Not sure what your circumstances are but I hope you regain your appetite soon. I think you need to come up with a gameplan to make sure you didn't have this surgery for nothing. You did it to regain your health -- and so you must! You could end up being more unhealthy post surgery if you don't take your Protein requirements seriously. Easier said than done--especially from someone who hasn't even gotten insurance approval yet, let alone had the surgery :-p Set alarms, check out the packages on the various foods you like to see how much protein they contain, figure out the portions. Drink your shakes, protein waters and even get Snacks that are high in protein-greek yogurt, nut butters, cheese and crackers--yes, I have seen cracker-like snacks in my local supermarket that have 15g of protein and only 140 calories. YOU TOTALLY GOT THIS! I know that you are going to be great!

Why is everything sweet?
ksrn19 replied to doppelganger's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What kind of no filler protein did you use? I have the unjury unflavored tub and a scoop and half of that looks like it would just make a paste in 4oz of water. I did finally get 40gm of protein down over the course of a day via a Premiere Protein shake and an Oikos zero vanilla yogurt (15gm protein per cup!). Thanks again to everyone for their suggestions, I plan on trying them all seeing that my protein requirements for the next three days almost doubles per my post op diet plan. You have to go to GNC or somewhere that sells like bodybuilder type supplements. It's just PURE protein isolate. I use the GNC brand but just ask someone. When it's pure it's not a thick consistency AT ALL. It's a bit thicker than water. It's so pure. I don't think people realize this is available. It's the only way I can see getting 60 gms. I could get 90 if I didn't want soup for lunch! Lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
For Protein shakes you definitely want to look for whey isolate as the main ingredient, assuming you don't have any issues with dairy. You want to look for low carb/low sugar. You will likely be on Clear liquids for a couple of days post-op and then be allowed protein shakes and "full liquids". Full liquids are things like milk, strained cream Soups, and some surgeons even allow drinkable yogurt (not sure if they have things like Gogurt in your neck of the woods). I really don't know what foods you will have available but puree and soft food stages usually include cottage cheese or other soft cheeses, greek yogurt, tuna salad, scrambled eggs, refried Beans.... Hopefully your surgeon will provide you a list of foods that are common where you are living.

Why is everything sweet?
LisaMergs replied to doppelganger's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The Greek yogurt is a lifesaver when trying to get in that last bit of Protein requirement. Dannon has one that is toasted coconut. Omg heaven. In trying to add hot Cereal I do 1/4 c of cereal to 1/4 of yogurt and it's wonderful. Also- I purchased the Gerber baby cereal. Easier to make tiny portions with and no cooking involved. Just hot tap Water. As an aside, a friend said she added non fat powdered milk to things when she could and it also ups the protein levels. -

I'm having a hard time eating!
LisaMergs replied to pqmr's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Omg I am SO with you! I'm 13 days out- full liquids- bit can have yogurt, hot cereals puddings too. My problem is just like yours. Eating fills me so fast! I have zero problems getting my liquids in, though my tummy prefers them to be warm. Room temp water is so-so , therefore I tend to drink more hot tea than anything. Crystal lite is ok. Anyway- I'm supposed to have 3 meals of 4 oz each and drink liquids and protein shakes in between. I much prefer having one meal and upping my protein to make certain I get it all in. It is so darn hard! I felt "real" restriction for the first time today. Trying to get liquids in 30 min after I ate and each sip almost hurt[emoji20][emoji20][emoji20]. Spoke with my NUT today and she said that for now it was ok to do "food" as an in-between and protein shakes as main source. Said it may take a few more weeks for my new tummy to get used to food. She also cautioned me that she did not approve of this as a long term solution. Who knew?[emoji4] -

I get the same issue as all the above. Liquids only for breakfast. Then chicken salad or yogurt type food for lunch. For dinner I'm ok to have a bit of meat, vege and maybe a little rice or sweet potato. Definitely changes from am to pm. Sometimes I have breakfast food for dinner because I miss having a nice breakfast. Glad I'm not the only one! I get the same issue as all the above. Liquids only for breakfast.

After an appointment today I stopped at Trader Joe's to pick up groceries. One of the miracles of my surgery is that I can now do my own shopping. I had gotten so immobile pre-op that I had to have someone else buy my groceries. Trader Joe's is so smart. They put their flowers and plants right by the front door. I bought with abandon: cut tulips, cut iris, a succulent, and a pot of hyacinths. It occurred to me that pre-op, most of my cart would have been full of pre-packaged foods and starches. Today, it was full of flowers, fresh berries, yogurt, and other healthy, fresh whole foods. One of my favorite poems: How do you feed your soul at the grocery store?

The transition to vegetarianism…
goblue9280 replied to JupiterinVirgo's topic in Vegetarian or Vegan Eating
My surgeon (Garth Davis) advocates a switch to vegan/vegetarian diet... or as close to it as you can do. He has a book out, Proteinaholic, and there are a bunch of good vegan/vegetarian recipes in it that I find WLS friendly. I'm not off meat/dairy 100%, but I'd say 90%+ of my daily caloric intake is plant based... and when I have meat, it's usually lean poultry or fish. Here's a recipe for quinoa with black Beans that I make often. I like to eat it plain with hot sauce, or as a salad topping... I imagine it'd be good in some sort of low carb wrap. If you eat dairy, you could up the Protein with some cheese or plain greek yogurt. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/49552/quinoa-and-black-beans/ -

One year after sleeve surgery can you eat a whole bagel with cream cheese?
Gail Ann replied to Gail Ann's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I usually eat one meal a day. Then a yogurt at night. I was wondering if it's unusual to be able to fit a whole bagel with cream cheese a year after sleeve surgery. I'm hoping I haven't stretched out the new stomach too much. -
Protein Goal/Shopping List
tstclair17 replied to DuckieXD's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 3 months post-op and I can't stomach not one more Protein shake. I'm having such a hard time getting my protein in. My hair is beginning to come out and I feel like I'm malnourished. The thought of eating yogurt every day for Breakfast makes me want to hurl. I can't eat eggs. I try to get my protein in at lunch and dinner but I know I'm failing miserably. Any suggestions from anyone? -

My dr's office does things s bit different then others, were able to have purée the day we come home, but I didn't do that till week 2, yogurt, cottage cheese, I did try the egg few bites and it was fine, -
Since surgery, I have been less and less interested in eating meat. I'd like to say that vegetarianism appeals to me because I'm some kind of humanitarian, but really I just feel increasingly disgusted with the thought of dead animal flesh even though I've always been a huge meat eater. I find that occasionally my body requires actual meet but most of the time, I'm OK without it. I get much of my Protein from cheese, a little from yogurt, and the occasional egg. All of the dishes I know how to prepare feature meet as the main attraction. That's not true: Pasta is the other main attraction. I'm getting quite bored with my staple foods, I need some super simple superfast super easy one dish recipes that are high-protein, low-carb, and vegetarian. Can any of you magnificent vegetarian veterans help me out?

This pre-op diet is gonna kill me.
KELLIEDN replied to breezy25's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I guess all surgeons are different? My surgery is tomorrow and I have been on a full liquid diet since Saturday. But that includes light yogurt, plain oatmeal (with skim milk and truvia) and sugar free pudding....so at least I had some things that I felt filled me up and I could enjoy. Today is my only day of Clear liquids only. I can't imagine having to do today for 1 or 2 weeks. I totally feel for you!! -
Liquid diet begins....
Renkoss replied to apmcleish's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Every doctor is different in how they handle their patients with the liquid diet prior to surgery. It may also be the insurance who dictates some of how it should be handled. I know my surgeon requires the 2 week pre-op liquid diet to help shrink the liver and also to get the body ready for rapid weight loss. That is what the paperword says anyway. I'm from Cleveland, Ohio. My surgery is being performed at The Cleveland Clinic and my surgeon is Dr. Phillip Shauer. He is the head of the Bariatric and Metabolic Institute at The Cleveland Clinic-Cleveland. Day 4 of the liquid diet. Doing okay so far. I have added a few oyster crackers to my broth at meal time. I need just a tiny bit of sustanance to stave off the hunger pains. I thought as a diabetic I pee'd a lot throughout the day; it is nothing compared to this liquid diet!! I should have bought stock in toilet paper! I have included greek yogurt in my diet plan right now as well. I use it as a dessert at night. Helps to keep me satiated throughout the night. I also have to watch my blood sugar so it doesn't bottom out while I'm asleep. Going into a low state of blood sugar when you are sleeping is no fun; I've experienced that before and trust me it is scary. Also I found these fruit/veggie sugar free popsicles (low carb too) made by Outshine that are to die for! The popsicles satisfy the need to "chew" on something. Okay, I'm making myself hungry now! No more food talk! 10 days my fellow April 11th peeps! 10 days! -
Calling all March bypass surgery dates!
LisaMergs replied to Soexcited's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I'm now 8 days post op. Still have pain by two of my incisions but been walking over a mile each day. Today was crazy! Was up early to take my youngest to a 7 am dental appointment and walked while he was getting his teeth cleaned. Did some other errands and at 1 sat in the recliner by the fireplace and woke up at MIDNIGHT!!! Holy cow! Obviously I needed it but now 3 am and wide awake! Finding hot tea is my best friend. Tummy does NOT like cold things! Have yet to throw up, dump etc. no issues getting liquids in either but adding all the food ( that's a laugh!! 4 oz 3x a day?!?!) is more of a pain because I'm more interested in getting the Protein in. FYI- Dannon Greek yogurt has a banana cream and a toasted coconut that are unbelievably awesome!!!!! Have a great day all!!! -

They gave me juice last night it made me nauseated and so did the Optifast for tea it was made with milk and I felt sick I'm going to use my own Protein powder now I'm home and I need to get some of the flavourless Protein Powder to add to my purée my NUT said the red 8 one is good.

Lap band to gastric bypass revision info
Stacylynn1982 replied to Stacylynn1982's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Hi!!! So glad to talk to you! My surgeon told me that my band was way way overfilled for too long. My initial surgery report had that on the day of surgery I already had over 2cc in my band. He said that should have never happened. I had close to 8 cc at one point. I lost 90 pounds, not long after my weight loss, I started worrying because I was actually still hungry. which leads him to believe there may be erosion but there could be slippage too because of the reflux and vomiting now ️. I just want to be able to eat food again. I am scheduled for a upper endoscopy, Barium swallow, and gastric emptying test. I live off slider food because anything else gets stuck and you know what happens then. I was stuck on yogurt 2 weeks ago, it's pretty much been a roller coaster of things. I really hope you don't have erosion. I am pulling for you one surgery is more than enough. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

I love chocolate chip cookie dough Quest bars. I was disappointed in the Cookies and cream but it was ok. I recently got a blueberry one in yogurt. I'm trying it tomorrow. My husband got the strawberries and cream. Man sometimes I just need something other than chocolate and vanilla.
