I worry about that everyday. And also some-days I just can't get in all my Protein and have proper meals, I only eat yogurt, my shakes with up cal in one, and Cereal because we are on the run ll the time. I am walking more and trying to exercise from the wheelchair. The doctor, not my surgeon my regular doctor is making me feel horrible because some days my legs are so sore I can't even touch them and all he says is "you gotta do it anyway no pain no gain". Sometimes the pain won't let me. I am not a sissy but to hear him talk I am. It just brings my mood down and makes me doubt myself.

My husband & I went to Mexico last week on vacation and I just wanted to share with everyone that it IS possible to have a fun vacation and not worry about food, even though we are on specific eating programs. I am 4.5 months post-op and pretty much adhered to my proper diet with a few exceptions. I took my vitamins, ate a lot of lean/grilled protein and tried to get my water in. If we were off-site on an excursion, I made sure to have a protein bar and extra water on hand. Breakfast was usually an omelet with veggies or a yogurt & fruit and lunch/dinner was grilled or poached fish, shrimp, chicken or lean beef and veggies. We stayed at our favorite inclusive resort and I pretty much ate dessert every night, only had pasta once (two spinach raviolis) and only ate rice once (a couple bites of sofrito & rice). I did have crusty bread at dinner most nights (usually with olive oil & balsamic) and I did drank alcohol most nights at dinner and at the swim-up bars at the pools. Before everyone gasps, I only gained two pounds. We walked a lot and went on several off-site excursions, along with swimming almost every day. I got back home Saturday night and went back on program Sunday. I weighed myself this morning and not only did I lose the two pounds I gained on vacation, but I also lost an additional pound. We took this same trip at the same resort two years ago and we both ate and drank like no tomorrow and I gained 14 pounds. I did have to say “no” to a lot of things that looked delicious and I couldn’t finish a lot of the yummy food on my plate, but it is possible to go on vacation and enjoy your meals with minimal weight gain.

Need some advice and a diet overhaul: 2 years post-op, 75 lbs down
Oregondaisy replied to watchmeshine8's topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
There is no reason that you can't have Dannon Fit and Light as a snack. Most of us do. It's those regular yogurts that have 4 or 5 grams of Protein and 15 or more carbs that you need to avoid. I freeze half a banana and put it in Protein drinks. I find they keep me full longer. Bananas do have a lot of carbs in them. If you're going to eat oatmeal, eat steel cut oatmeal. Do you like dill pickles? I find a dill pickle with a piece of lunch meat and a piece of cheese rolled up around it to be very satisfying. If you really have to have something sweet, have a sf popsicle or sf fudgesicle. -
Transporting Protein Shakes to Work?
Kindle replied to Annek2014's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
i don't like milk. I do like other dairy though like cheese, ricotta, cream cheese etc. Sorry, You mentioned mixing dry milk powder with the Protein Powder so you can just add Water, so I assumed you were OK with milk. Since you do like other dairy, and you are underweight, make sure you go for the full fat version of everything.....cottage cheese, yogurt, etc. Have you tried other milks? Rice milk has more carbs than almond milk. soy and coconut both have more (healthy) fats. Soy also has more protein than any of them. Any of these may be a better choice since you need more calories. They all also come in room temp stable containers that would be easy to bring to work. -

Letty's journey post-op
Rdsegobia replied to Rdsegobia's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hope everyone is well! Today is my 2 weeks on the A Pound of Cure and I been eating the way it says in the book. My update on weight today is 175.6 lbs its was a lot less then last week loss but I'm very happy with the results. I went down to size 12 in jeans and I could fit in size medium blouses. After this two weeks, I will keep eating the same way. There has been some days that I ate something that I wasn't supposed to like today I ate pecans that are caramelized with cinnamon, I know those have a lot sugar, but hey it's not easy to be perfect on the eating plan. I don't miss the coffee anymore or my Greek yogurt. Just came from buying groceries and most of the food is veggies and fruits and of course my eggs and some meats. I'm going to stay away the raw nuts cause I still can't control that so I'm just thinking to cut them out completely. Hope everyone's week is great! -
Between my multi, calcium supplement (1 tablet three times/day), and my Greek yogurt, I'm getting at least 1000mg. But with all the milk, cottage cheese, broccoli, kale, and cheese I eat, it's probably closer to 1200-1500mg most days.

Puréed stage in less than 7 days
tammymacias replied to nervousnelly719's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had mine done on 3/7 too I started puréed today. I started with choc pudding(made from the box) and yo plait yogurt. I are 1/2 and was full. Any other ideas for puréed foods that you don't have to blend? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
The flavours are nice from bulk nutrients but they arent very strong. I puchased their flavour sachet for the strawberry flavour to enhance the flavour but the rest were good without adding anything. The new choc honeycomb us my fav. I add it to 1/3 cup of greek yogurt and omg its like a mousse dessert Bulk nutrients also allows you to order a sample to try Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

A little less than a month (4/11/2016)
judy1234 replied to Brandi Anderson Maynard's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, Which procedure are you having? I had RNY gastric bypass 2 weeks ago and am able to move on from full liquids starting tomorrow. I have been doing OK with the Protein shakes and popsicles (full liquid) diet but have had occasional hunger. My NUT thinks once I start "real" food tomorrow, I will no longer have hunger, so I'm excited for that. As far as what you should eat, your surgeon's office will give you a list of foods you can eat and when you can move on to other foods. My surgeon has had me on a full liquid diet since surgery, which included Protein Shakes, yogurt, SF Jello, and SF popsicles. The pureed stage, which starts tomorrow, will allow pureed chicken, pureed Soups, eggs, etc. As far as clothing sizes, I have yo-yo'd for so many years that I have clothes from size 12 through 28. But I have heard others mention thrift stores as places where they bought clothes until their weight loss slowed. -
New! And I have questions!
Samiam1217 replied to brittanyandrea's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Brittany! I'm scheduled for the sleeve on the 1st of April. I was told I can drive as long as I'm not on pain meds besides Tylenol. I like the premier Protein drinks but I also purchased unflavored protein power to add to Powerade zero. I am also allowed Greek yogurt, applesauce and cream of wheat on the liquid diet. I start on Friday.. Best of luck!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using the BariatricPal App -
So tomorrow is 3 weeks post RNY and this week I was just able to introduce yogurt, apple sauce and sf pudding. At first the yogurt seemed ok but yesterday and today I got uncomfortable after the yogurt a feeling similar to indigestion and it lasts the rest of the day. Makes me not even feel like drinking. Any idea what it could be? Should I just stay away from the yogurt? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Chobani "flip" makes a P&J which consist of strawberry lowfat yogurt and Peanut Butter chips. Takes care of my P&J craving and contains 12 grams of Protein.

Protein and calorie deficits after surgery
yarnismyantidrug replied to yarnismyantidrug's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Full liquids. Cottages cheese, yourt, cream soups, etc. If I eat cottage cheese and yogurt at every meal I can get to around 30, I'd get 42 of I were able to do 4 ounces at every meal but sometimes you just can't, you know? -
Early on I planned my meals/snacks in my food tracker the night before. Then printed it and put times next to meals based on my calendar. Then checked things off. That way if I knew I was in meetings all morning...I could plan 1/2 a protein bar on a break...if I was at my desk maybe it was yogurt and fruit. I'm actually going back to this method this week because I've gotten cocky and haven't tracked the past few months...also haven't lost during that time Good luck!

Purée Diet - I'm so lost
Baddrabbit replied to kalea_04's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Cottage cheese has lots of protein! Hummus, Soups, mashed sweet potatoes, avocado, Greek yogurt ricotta cheese. eggs yummy over easy here, boiled scrambled. Now pureed fish (white fish) and chicken. I'll be perfectly honest. I didn't puree those, but I chewed them very well. Now getting creative with your meals keeps it more tolerable and interesting. But I will always have my Breakfast Protein shake Sent from my XT907 using the BariatricPal App -
Ashland, Ky
MollyF22 replied to Natalie Alley Perkins's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I figured you did add me and that was you. I'm glad you have me on there though. I am so jealous that your gonna be in Florida and on the beach. Where are you going? I am supposed to start the purees tommrow but I've been eating actual foods. The liquids aren't keeping me full at all. I don't think milk settles with me that good so cream of soups aren't good for my stomach. I've been doing smoothies and I've been eating some fruits. I've been having lactose free yogurt too. Even though that has milk, it's low fat and barely in there. I've actually tried chilli too. Lunch meat and cheese. Everything is sitting with me. It was hard at first because I need to learn to eat smaller bites. I've been in a funk the last couple days where I don't really want food. It's bad for me not to follow the diet we are on but if I'm hungry and can't get full on liquids, then I'm gonna try new things. I am at 241 exactly today. So I've lost 15 pounds within this month and with the 10 pounds lost on pre op diet would make 25 pounds all together. Me working and walking more is definitely helping. -
Not even 6 weeks post op-Gaining weight?
ssflbelle replied to ssflbelle's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks Annek for asking. I am still trying to get in the higher amounts of Protein and more Water. Some days I can do it other days I have trouble with some foods. The Dr said I can have oatmeal and vegs. Like this morning I use 1/2 cups of oatmeal with 1 cup of protein silk and 3 teaspoons of Syntrax vanilla Protein powder. Mixed it all together and microwaved it for 2 1/2 minutes. Had 4 small bits and couldn't eat any more. There was so much left over I can have for Breakfast for 2 more days. Next time I am going to have to use just 1/4 of a cup oatmeal. Late afternoon I didn't feel I could eat anything so I had a shake. Tonight after 3 oz of Turkey I was able to get about 1 1/2 tablespoons of cauliflower. I haven't weighed myself since Tuesday but took some more MOM today to help things along. I am trying to only weigh in on Tuesdays. Been keeping myself busy with bike riding. Am up to 4.65 miles as of yesterday despite the 22 mph winds. Am also designing and assembling baby boy favors for an office baby shower. Plus have been working on my sequin art. Keeping my hands busy is something I have done for years but even more so now. I received 2 bathing suits today but will have to work on doing something for the girls as there is just not enough support despite the fact that they both have molded cups. I still have some time before I will be able to wear them as I still can't lift my legs high enough to get out of the pool. However that day will be coming soon I hope. Songsmith I do eat yogurt that has 12 grams of protein and have no problems with getting them down. Katladee The hot chocolate is protein and takes the place of coffee which I can't have yet. On the 2 days I work I do have protein food for breakfast and no hot chocolate. Stephanie I think your right the same thing kind of happened to me too. The first 2 weeks I was great and than things went down hill a bit. However I feel like things are getting better each day. Perforce Your right it did! That is why I need not to listen to the Dr and keep my protein between 60 to 80 grams daily not 41 as he said. -
@@esskay77 I found it in Wegmans, do you guys have a Wegmans? If not, I'm sure it has to exist somewhere. The brand's full name that I've used and loved is "Green Mountain Farms Greek Cream Cheese and Greek Yogurt" and it comes in the same kind of block as regular cream cheese. Hope you can find it.

@@Cervidae Wow, I have never heard of Greek Yogurt Cream Cheese but am really excited to go look for it now!!!! Thanks!

Another way of making pancakes that is healthy and delicious is to mash up a banana and an egg, toss in some cinnamon and I like to add some pumpkin pie spice as well, and cook it like a regular pancake. It's really yummy! But I think I was told to wait until at least a couple months to try more solid food like that. If you're bored of the same old same old, you could try some of the things I really loved in the puree stage. My favorite was turkey or chicken chili from trader joe's with a dollop of low fat or fat free sour cream. It has a surprisingly satisfying texture even after being pureed. Another good one is cottage cheese or greek yogurt with pumkpin puree or refried black Beans and perhaps a little bit of taco sauce. I also enjoyed canned white meat chicken pureed with greek yogurt cream cheese and a little splash of cream of chicken Soup and a little splash of milk to make it all blend well - this tasted EXACTLY like hamburger helper, somehow. A bit further on when you get to soft foods, you can try my absolute soft food favorite - a turkey meatball or two mashed up with greek yogurt cream cheese (this exists and it is DELISH and it is much healthier than regular cream cheese) and about an ounce of cheddar. This one tastes exactly like beef stroganoff. I actually had some of this earlier today! As a meal, I make 3 turkey meatballs, 2 tbs of greek yogurt cream cheese, and 1 ounce of extra sharp cheddar. I eat it in two or three sittings, and it comes to 330 calories, 6 grams of carbs, and 29 grams of Protein. Yummy and good for you. It'll take you time to get used to eating a much more limited diet than most of us ate before surgery, but then you'll learn how to make new combos of healthy foods that taste good, leave you feeling full and satisfied for many hours, and give you a ton of protein and are healthy. You'll get there, and sooner than you think. Hang in there.

When will my energy return?
glitter eyes replied to iwillbeachitagain's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had that feeling in my upper chest/sternum area too early on post op. I used to say it felt like finely ground glass. It got better for me as time went on. Also, my restriction the first two or three months was very small. I did eat food but had to chew very well and take tiny tiny bites. I wasn't able to get all my protein in with just food for several months so I made sure to sip on protein shakes and add protein powder to my yogurt, soups, etc. I was tired for about the first four weeks and needed naps each day. About week five I started feeling more energetic. Try upping your protein and see if that helps- even if you have to drink protein shakes. If you haven't found one you like keep experimenting. It's like this surgery is one big experiment to see what you like and what your body likes. Hang in there!! Good luck -
A bit of tough love here....are pancakes and spaghetti os on your approved list? Mashed potatoes? This is just my opinion but the choices you are making can lead to some problems with cravings. The more carbs you eat, the more you will crave them. eggs, tuna, chicken, turkey, yogurt, cottage cheese - items high in Protein will keep you more satisfied for longer periods of time while those carbs are actually the worst thing you can do in this early stage. Also eating processed pre packaged foods like spaghetti os is something my nut told me to stay away from forever. It may be why you are having so many cravings so soon. Half the battle is the head games. How much protein are you currently getting?
