Protein Goal/Shopping List
SummerDream replied to DuckieXD's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am currently 6 wks post op and I only take in about 500-550 calories a day so yes 400 is actually correct especially the first couple of weeks when you are only drinking limited amounts. At first I was only able to drink 1 oz at a time, then I was up to 2 oz by day 3. Right now I can drink 4 oz of my Protein shake. My NUT says to take a sip and than place the cup down for a bit because you still need to take 15-20 min to "eat" your "meal" even if it's just drinking liquid. I use the yogurt to take my meds with. I was originally using Motts organic applesauce but it didn't hide the flavor of my crushed pills. Here is what I ate based on NUT recommendation: Bariatric Advantage Protein Shake - Fave flavors: chocolate & Orange Cream Jello sugar free jello or pudding Dannon Light & Fit - No fruit on the bottom. The regular version is thinner than the greek version. unjury non flavored protein powder Crystal Light -

You are trying to eat solid foods but your stomach is still healing. I didn't try eating some solids until 4 wks post op. At 2 wks post op you should be drinking Protein shakes and eating yogurt (my nutritionist recommends Dannon Fit and Light - the regular yogurt is thinner than the greek version). Stick to that for the next week then you can get soups and puree them in a mini chopper. Make sure you count your protein - this should be your focus and not moving onto solid foods. I tried ground beef at 4 wks and vomited it right back up. I was able to handle ham at 4 wks - pureed of course. I'm 6 wks post op and haven't touched chicken yet although I'll be trying a bit of Turkey today. Good luck!!

I had what could've been the easiest WLS recovery in the world. But no way in hell was I trying to eat 4 ounces of meat (salmon, fish, chicken, whatever) 2 weeks post-op . Go back to yogurt. What worked well for me was 2 ounces of refried Beans and melted cheese. Become more patient. This journey takes months and months to get back to what feels like "real food" and "normal" to you.

Chime in with the others -- try eating food that is easier to eat (Greek yogurt, cottage cheese) and eat much less of it. 4 oz is crazy. Try 2-3 tablespoons (measure carefully) and see if you have problems with that. If you do still have problems, go back to full liquids for a week, then try again. If you are still having problems, maybe then contact your surgical team and see if they think there might be an issue other than you just need a little extra time to heal. I was on full liquids for four weeks, then purees for four weeks (with a max serving of 3 tablespoons 3x/day). I was SO ready for "real" food when I could advance to soft foods! But being on liquids and then small servings of puree for a long time didn't hurt me.

It's awful early for you to be eating solids like chicken and salmon. I was on liquids for three weeks and then gradually transitioned to pureed foods (cottage cheese, refried Beans, Greek yogurt, pureed soups) and eventually soft foods. I only ate 2-3 tablespoons at a time for the first couple months. It was 6 weeks before I was eating solid fish and chicken and even longer than that before I even attempted to eat 4 ounces of anything. I think you are just trying to advance too quickly, but if the vomitting with solids continues, you should contact your surgeon. A stricture can cause your symptoms,

Anyone from the Chicagoland area
ShipShape replied to jayohayenene's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
That is what I've heard. My buddy did bypass there in Feb. And he said the same thing about nurses. Yes, I do add frozen pineapple, banana, cooked beet's, yogurt, not for the taste, but to feel full. Honestly I cheated all two weeks, I had some grilled chicken breast, few slices of corn beef. Nothing serious, but men, it is hard. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App -
6 days post-op and hungry
ExCookieMonster replied to ExCookieMonster's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would kill for mashed potatoes, but I know you're right. I hope that from now on things get easier, first week was hellish with all the pain from gas and nausea. At least I can have yogurt - ok, that's sad. But enough with the pity party. I'll try to be less grumpy. Thanks, for everything. Thank you, @ OutsideMatchInside -
Feb sleevers.... One month updates!
CarmCarm replied to bigguy928's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi, Bigguy and beenpohl! My husband and I were sleeved on Feb.25 and 29th too! We are both doing well. He has lost more than I have (40 and 30 lbs) but we are just plugging along, following our program. I was having the light-headed , clammy, ready to pass out feeling too, especially if I had a 30 gm smoothie first thing in the morning. It was terrible! I've starting drinking Water first thing when I wake up and having a greek yogurt for Breakfast. I save the smoothie for late morning and drink it slower than before. This seems to really help with the light-headed feeling. We are both REALLY tired, though. I keep waiting for this big energy boost and it doesn't seem to be happening yet. I think drinking more water may help with the tired feeling so I'm trying to work on that. Also, maybe we'll feel better when we're eating regular food?? My husband has starting drinking a half cup of coffee and it helps him. I know all of these annoying side-effects will eventually go away so keep at it!! Good luck!

What are your other addictions/ obsessions?
borg/assimilated replied to Fatty McFatster's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Chobani key lime Greek yogurt. Must have one for breakfast every day. I check out the grocery store ads in the paper on Sundays to see which market has them on sale and buy 20 at a time. I actually start to get nervous if there are only a few left in the refrigerator. My husband has decided he likes them as well, so I have to make sure there are enough around for both of us and that I don't miss out on my daily "fix". -
I love raspberries. I wonder if you could puree and then freeze them for a lovely Italian Ice type treat. Or (I have seen this when blueberries, not sure if it will work with raspberries) but coat them in yogurt and then freeze them and they are lovely little yogurt covered berry treats? Can't wait to see what ideas people come up with. I need to go find a farmers market..

We have a health food co-op in a nearby city that I have been meaning to find. There was a post on the Internet the other day that they were having a sale on fresh raspberries so it gave me an excuse to find it. Now, I have quite a few raspberries (most of which are in the freezer). They have been delicious added to my yogurt. Other than Protein shakes, what are some good, easy, healthy ways that you use fresh berries (especially raspberries)?

Calling all March bypass surgery dates!
Soexcited replied to Soexcited's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Hello!!!! Just checking in! I had my rny 3-7 and I'm doing better......finally! I had a tough hospital stay (3 nights) and a rough few days at home too. Now I'm 18 days post op, drinking my protein and eating soft foods. A typical day for me is a protein shake for breakfast 30g of protein and 160 cal. Another shake for lunch and then a yogurt for a snack 80 cal 15g protein and for dinner a scrambled egg with 2 teaspoons of refried beans and salsa. So far Ive lost 20lbs but I stalled a few days ago and have lost nothing in the past 3 days. I'm now 205lbs and need to get to 150........I just want time to pass quickly so I can loose some more!! Happy at times but still have some buyers remorse. I still get so tired in the afternoon I need a nap....hoping my energy is back soon! -
Give me you favorite Protein Shake/Drink/Pre-op Liq
sgc replied to Kelly84's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I haven't had surgery yet, but I make Protein shakes sometimes as a Meal Replacement. I start with some powder protein, usually whey protein and vanilla flavored. I then add about two tablespoons of Fage nonfat plain greek yogurt, one cut up banana, a little skim milk, a couple almonds, and just a little vanilla extract for flavor. Refrigerate for a couple hours and your good to go. Now most people don't like crunchy shakes so you skip the almonds but I don't mind. -

Anyone else have March 29th surgery date r in Delaware?
Angie74 replied to Phillygirl_in_DE's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good Luck my DE girls!! there's also a Greek Yogurt at Walmart that sells oikos triple zero yogurts in tons of flavors with 14-15 g of Protein per serving. Pack light 4 the hospital, plan 4 something loose and comfy for the ride home. Gas strips do not work in the hospital after surgery.

thundermama replied to Phillygirl_in_DE's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@Phillygirl_in_DE, Showtime is at 7:30am bright and early! There is someone else on this site who is the 9am right after me with the same doc. It's a small world, right? Thanks for the recommendations about post-surg food. Target has Dannon Light and Fit Greek Yogurt at 4 for $3.69. They had all kinds of flavors too like strawberry Cheesecake and banana Cream with 12-13 grams of Protein. I was so excited. I forgot about the apple sauce. So far, I like the black cherry SFJello the best. 8.5 pounds is great! @@tyra76, I wish you the best of luck. It's so great to be on here with people going through the same surgery with the same practice within the same time period. I am sure that we are all having mixed emotions right now. I know I am! I left work today and just felt so good about it. How long are you all taking off? I only scheduled 2 weeks. I'm concerned about the emotional roller-coaster I've heard about. I'm hoping that part isn't so bad. We've got this!!!! We're at the beginning of something great. -

Im on stage 3 in our program stage 1 is NPO...stage 2 is clear liquids...stage 3 yogurt, cream soups etc...stage 4 is pureed food...doing the best i can...doctor and nutritionist called tofay to check on me...and gave me some tips...to try...very tired today so gonna nap...glad it seems to be easy for you. -
I can't get over how diet progression plans differ so widely from doctor to doctor. My doctor seems to be a lot more liberal than many of yours. My plan: 1.5 days home- Clear liquid day 2-7 at home- full liquids (including plain yogurt as a liquid) day 7-21 at home- soft foods adding meats at day 14 day 21- full foods I feel great and have felt ready for each phase change. I changed to soft foods yesterday and I am taking them quiet well and haven't had any problems thus far. I have also lost 15 lbs since my surgery date on 3/15. So I am not worried that something is wrong. I was just wondering if anyone else has a similar liberal plan because it seems like many of you are on a much stricter post op diet? * I also didn't have a liquid pre-op diet.

Three weeks post op
beachwalker4rny replied to Suzannie19's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am going once a day now and that makes me happy. I do two colace a day, two probiotics, two gummy fibers I added back in coffee. (Asked dr first) on the weekends when I don't have to leave the house I drink 10 sips of prune juice first thing in the morning. That gets me going in about 30 Mins. (Gastric bypass) I also do Greek yogurt with kashi go lean original and I have veggies with every meal. I hope this helps.being stopped up is miserable. Oh and the smooth move tea is good too. I try to stay away from taking stuff that I will become dependent on though. Once in a while it can't hurt.
