Snacks are string cheese or triple zero yogurt or cottage cheese or almonds. Sometimes I will make chicken salad out of canned chicken and snack on that over a few days with a couple wheat thins crackers. I've been craving cuties lately, so I've incorporated one a day this week. -
to snack, or not to snack?
Pillar2butterfly replied to GSleeve822's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think it depends on how you define a "snack". I eat 6 times a day...but it's about portion size and quality of choices. My NUT wants minimum of 64 oz of Protein, but more is suggested. Example day: Breakfast: 2 hard boiled eggs or 1 scrambled egg with 1T mozz cheese. Snack (2 hours later): 6 oz Greek yogurt Lunch: tuna packet (2.6 oz) Snack: Protein Bar Dinner: Baked chicken 3 oz or so Snack: cheese stick and pickle I never eat after 8 pm I need all these in between "snacks" because otherwise I would never get in all my protein. Eating this way helps me not to snack poorly in choices. I don't think of it as snacking though, just part of my meals. If you mean snacking as in "potato chips, cake, etc" Nope...I mostly refrain entirely. -
Here I go again... need to get it together.

My mom, who has always fallen within the normal BMI range also has her days when she feels she lacks motivation to get on the treadmill or get some physical exercise, yet she does it 90% of the time. She very rarely buys junk food that she is tempted to eat, and eats the same type of meals everyday. My mother-in-law who is obese doesn't exercise. Period. She buys ice-cream, chocolate chips, Cookies, juice, etc. She will bake cookies with my daughter some weekends, say she is bringing them to church, then ends up eating half of them herself. I think I fall somewhere between the two of them. Focused and motivated or hanging out in complete and utter denial where guilt is camped out just over the horizon. Food is much more addictive to me than it is to my mom, but I am not my mother-in-law, nowhere near her. When I get really bored with my food choices, I hear my dietician in my head, "Food is not entertainment. Ask any thin person you know and they'll tell you they eat the same thing most everyday". And damn it, she's right. I so hate it when she's right. So I am back to my usual Protein bar, 80 calorie yogurt, Beans, chickpeas, tofu, daiya cheese, blah, blah, blah. Not entertained, but fighting the good fight, I guess. -
to snack, or not to snack?
BobbyD replied to GSleeve822's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think we have a negative connotation of the word "snack". For us, timed eating is a new way of life. I have to eat every few hours to make my individually designed system work. I am unable to eat enough in three sittings to get the desired amount of nutrients needed for one day. Thus I eat 5 or six times a day. Now, is beef Jerky a snack? I think of it as an added source of Protein. Is Greek Yogurt a snack? Again, I use it as a valuable source of protein. So, snacking or timed eating, is the way I have been successful. -
Trouble finding a variety of foods I can eat well...
Daisee68 replied to butterfly40's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
As a southern girl, how about try some homemade pimento cheese with lite mayo (or Greek yogurt) and mix in some unflavored Protein powder. (Non-southern people generally have no idea what pimiento cheese is! ????). It keeps really well and is great with cucumbers, a few crackers, or just with a spoon! If you want a recipe, send me a PM and I will send you mine. Sent from my HTC One M9 using the BariatricPal App -
to snack, or not to snack?
Kindle replied to GSleeve822's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I eat 6-7 times/day. Sometimes it's tiny plate of Chineese take out. Sometimes it's Greek yogurt, or a piece of pizza, or a couple handfuls of pumpkin seeds. Sometimes it's a Quest bar or a bag of Protein chips. Sometimes it's a 1/2 an apple, or fish and tartar sauce, or deli turkey and cheese, or steamed veggies. I just eat when I'm hungry, get in all my protein and fluids and don't get too hung up on the semantics of "is this a meal or is this a snack?" Besides, compared to what I ate before surgery, everything I eat now is "snack size"!- 42 replies

to snack, or not to snack?
FrankyG replied to GSleeve822's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I eat Snacks. I eat 3 meals a day and 1-2 snacks in between. My snacks are things like a carbmaster yogurt (60 calories, 4 g carbs, 9 g protein), a string cheese stick and 3 grape tomatoes with a sprinkle of olive oil, a glass of Mootopia milk (or Fairlife if you're not in Texas), or some hummus and carrots, or a half cup of broccoli/cauliflower with a slice of lowfat cheese melted over. I stick with things that have either high Protein, high Fiber or both, and always try to keep the carbs down so when added to my daily carb totals the snacks don't pop me up over my max. I also count calories (will do so probably for the rest of my life) so I know when I can and can't have a snack. If you can't make smart choices on snacks or you don't want to count calories/carbs, then snacks might not be a good idea, but if you are keeping up with all of that, they do well to make sure you are fueling your body with healthy stuff and not going too long between meals so you forget to eat healthy during actual mealtimes. -
I had my surgery this morning (12 hours ago) and I feel fantastic
SassyNanny replied to newme1234's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Great News! Take it slowly. Ramp up to the Protein and Fluid goals. If you need help with getting protein into things like applesauce, Soup or yogurt try GENEPRO unflavored Protein powder. 1 tablespoon has 30g protein and 98 cals. I still use Premium protein (Choc and vanilla) premade drinks from costco. 30g 160 cals. Couldn't have kept my protein high without these 2 products. Best Wishes!!

What if I can't do it?
RoscoColetrain replied to DirtyyMelodies's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Pre-op was actually significantly harder for me than post-op. Pre-op... oh that's just a sandwich. or two. bah that's nothing. Post op.... Oh that's a Whole thing of yogurt? sigh. Maybe in an hour or two. Keep at it -
Hungry already! Is this normal?
Shaydi.Laine replied to Angie1978's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
7 days post-op and also hungry. This isn't head hunger, I know the difference. Head hunger I can actually ignore, real hunger drags me out of bed at 3am for a yogurt just to stop the pain so I can sleep. I mentioned the hunger to the bariatric nurse when she called to check on me. She said the liquid phase is the worst and once I move to pureed foods, I will start feeling more satisfied. Maybe true but doesn't alleviate the disappointment we feel from being hungry after this operation when we are told that we won't be. On the plus side I have already dropped 6.5 pounds on top of the 10 pounds(!) of Water weight I gained in the hospital. I have never seen the scale drop so fast. Now to survive another week of liquids.... -
8 weeks out from surgery, still can't eat food
tball77 posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had gastric bypass on January 27, so I'm 8 weeks out. I'm still on a mostly liquid diet, as I am in a great deal of discomfort/pain whenever I try to eat food. I can handle yogurt whips, Protein shakes, broth, mashed potatoes, and that's it. The surgeon is hoping I'm just a slow healer, but it feels like more than that Anyone else experience that? -
What do you eat in the mornings to get your protein in?
WorkinOnMe replied to cal2okl's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I tend to mix things up frequently ... can't eat the same thing too long or I get bored & cravings kick in. Here are some of my go to's: 5 oz greek yogurt with Protein powder (adds an extra 10g) w/ small bits of fruit or berries 1/2c cottage cheese (+powder) with diced peaches 1 scrambled egg with salsa & cheese 1 chicken sausage - large (favs are the spinach & feta or apple) 1 tuna packet (premade) or 1/2c with fat free caesar dressing instead of mayo 1/2c chicken salad with plain greek yogurt instead of mayo & Mrs. Dash seasoning/flavor In a rush I will have a Protein Drink (either EAS or Syntrax nectar fruit flavored) or when we are traveling I order a plain bagel with sausage, egg & cheese and have them put the cheese between the egg & meat. I give the hubby the bagel and eat just the egg and meat. -

EAS Protein drink (I take my meds with that) and followed by a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese walmart or dannon light and fit yogurt with 1/2 scoop unflavored protein to get total of 30 grams string cheese and lunch meat sometimes a protein bar - trying to cut back on them. New fav is the power crunch salted caramel with a cup of coffee. -

Unflavored (or preferably flavorless) protein powders
joconi replied to farooforever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just purchased Greek yogurtein coconut cream and it tastes like coconut. Great for yogurts, I haven't tried it in anything else. I also grabbed a container of quest unflavored that you can use in anything. Shakes, liquids, and it bakes. Haven't tried it yet but the woman at GNC said she heard it works great. Anyone bake with any protein powders? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Newbies - how much liquids/protein are you getting in?
amandastearns replied to xochtlem's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sassycat, I have not tried that but I always buy genepro (flavor and scentless) with 30g and add it to my fluids when needed. I've been having a hard time with protein and now my levels are low and required to get 105gm of protein daily. Adding this to my fluids really helps. I buy it on amazon and it can be added to anything! I also add it to my yogurt! -

Keep your chin up, it will get better each day. I really think you are eating some really difficult foods for week one. Shouldn't you be on full liquids only? During my first 2 weeks I really had no desire to eat and lived on whey Protein watery milk or beef broth (to ensure my protein intake), Jello, sugar free popsicles, and Powerade Zero (Powerade zero,which my doctor said was the ONLY sport drink I could drink was my life saver because Without it I would have dehydrated.) I could not drink Water until about week 8 and even now it is difficult. eggs I could not tolerate until a good 6-8 weeks. My second week I tried adding pudding, small curd cottage cheese, yogurt, and finally 'almost" pureed chicken. I think I wasted more food than I ate for the first month because I would eat a few bites and was full usually from trying to keep up with the required Fluid intake. Any way you look at it, enjoy the limited eating now and the not wanting to eat, because by your 3rd-4th month the desire to eat is back and your new eating habits have to be on your mind so you do not fall back to your old habits.

Need Help with Losing 10lbs for Surgery Consideration May 10th. How did you do it?
WorkinOnMe replied to BBweightlossjourney's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I put myself on a modified "liquid diet" ... I had a Protein drink for breakfast, a greek yogurt for snack, a cup of soup for lunch (pureed, all liquid like tomato, cream of broccoli, etc), a Protein Drink for snack, and whatever protein and vegetable my family ate for dinner. I also filled the rest of my day with Water (crystal light flavors or Powerade zero flavors) .... at least 64-76 oz per day. I stepped up my walking to 2 miles every other day. I lost 26lbs pre-op. Good luck!!
