Scared to eat different foods
JamieLogical replied to rydersmama's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Well, I'm a year and a half out, so I have no limits on what i can eat anymore. Early on, my go-to snacks were Dannon Light & Fit Greek yogurt, string cheese, turkey sticks (like beef sticks, but with turkey), and Protein bars. Once I was allowed nuts, I would often do an ounce of peanuts for a snack as well. -
Scared to eat different foods
rydersmama replied to rydersmama's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I guess I should better explain what I mean about my post. I know what I can eat, I'm looking more for different food/snack ideas. I haven't had Greek yogurt because I find it too high in sugar and carbs (except for plain). I don't want to eat bread or anything like that. Because I haven't had any sugar/carbs I'm scared that introducing these foods will hinder my weight loss. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Scared to eat different foods
JamieLogical replied to rydersmama's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I wasn't allowed nuts or berries with seeds until 3 months post-op, so you should definitely check with your nutritionist. As for carbs, I was allowed "soft whole grains" somewhere around 6 weeks post-op, iirc. However, I found anything "bready" WAY too filling still at that point. I remember trying to make myself an open face egg sandwich with a teeny tiny piece of this toasted: http://www.pepperidgefarm.com/ProductDetail.aspx?catID=754&prdID=121328 I got a little over halfway through it and thought I was going to die. But that was way more than 7 weeks out. Closer to 3 months probably? I can do a whole piece of toast now, but I'm 18 months out. Big difference! You should definitely be doing Greek yogurt now. Surprised your NUT didn't have you on that already in the full liquids phase... Great source of Protein and easy on the stomach. -
For the puree phase have you had rice?
SweetPeas replied to MozzaWehsha's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Cottage cheese, unsweet apple sauce, strained cream soups, ricotta bake, and yogurt should all be ok for the puree stage. -
Scared to eat different foods
WorkinOnMe replied to rydersmama's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
First, I don't know your program and you should probably check with your NUT to see what they want you eating at this stage. Everyone's program and stages are somewhat different. That said .... At 8 weeks I was eating soft foods such as Greek yogurt (my favorite was the Dannon Triple Zero banana and coconut), sf Jello & pudding, cream of wheat, scrambled eggs, chicken salad (mixed with plain greek yogurt instead of mayo), egg salad, and Laughing Cow cheese wedges. I still had one Protein shake per day just to make sure I was getting my full amount in, but I started to get most of it from foods at this point. I stayed away from nuts, Protein Bars, and fruits until pretty close to 4 or 5 months. Even now I limit how much of those things I eat anyway. -
What do you eat before and after a work out?
Indieflickers replied to skp's topic in Fitness & Exercise
I eat Greek yogurt about half an hour to and hour before working out. I get cramps if I do anything heavier. I get light headed if I don't eat at least a small about of carbs beforehand. All the research I've done suggests eating something before working out, usually some kind of carbohydrate like a banana, and some protein. -

esskay77 replied to MozzaWehsha's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I did have mashed potatoes--nice and pureed. And I am not a big fan but that was suggested and worked nicely. That and yogurt, sugar free apple sauce, ricotta cheese bake, and if you whip some cottage cheese so it doesn't have any lumps, that works, too. And tomato soup. -
I am 7 weeks postop and have only been eating Protein and a tiny bit of veggies. I want to start expanding the foods I can eat, but I'm scared. I don't want to eat carbs like bread, rice, or Pasta, but I'm thinking of stuff like nuts, plain Greek yogurt, berries, things like that. What bothers me is, will my weight loss slow down because I'm introducing some carbs and sugar? Should I just stick to protein only with a little veggies? I would really appreciate some suggestions of what to eat that's still good for me Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes it does. My typical workout day is wake 7:30, drink 8 ounce of water. 8/8:15 ish protein shake. I prefer to make my own in the nutra bullet w/ unflavored protein powder ¼cup plain, greek yogurt and bit of fruit or sometimes a little bit of raw honey. I do water aerobics from 9 -10. I count my protein shake as breakfast. I cannot workout on an empty stomach. My biggest meal of the day is usually lunch. Dinner is often a salad or soup. If I don't eat before a workout, not only don't have enough energy, I get ill. Post workout I'd have an ounce of nuts. It's my recovery food/snack. I then have lunch. 2 days a week I also do a low impact aerobic class at 11. On those days I typically drink water in between workouts and then have a protein bar after that. What I have found is I don't need large quantities of food, but I do need nutritionally packed food.

soooo many questions...pls help with answers
Eskarina replied to Katy Walton's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Do you have a dietician/nutritionist? They can also help with these questions. I was not specifically told 100ml but I was not able to finish a yogurt so I was likely eating slightly less than a hundred. If you eat too much, you can throw up but it is different for everyone. One day I took my pills and ate right after, it was too much for my little tummy and I puked. My doctor told me after not to eat for around 30 minutes after the pills...lives d learn. I normally stick to 30 minutes after but sometimes can't stand taking liquids in for 1.5 hours. I try to eat 5 times a day but that is because I work with when I have to work. Solid food is somewhat dependent on what it is but around 4 tablespoons of food for me. -
For the puree phase have you had rice?
Cervidae replied to MozzaWehsha's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@MozzaWehsha rice is a big risk in the first severeal months because it can indeed get stuck. Might I suggest pureed chili with a dollop of low fat or fat free sour cream? Or perhaps pureed chicken, humus, and taco sauce (this one is addictive!)? Another favorite of mine (my puree phase was in the fall of last year) - greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, cinnamon/pumpkin pie spice. Deelish! -

Gaining instead of losing
Kindle replied to NatashaSaysRawr's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Since you can drink OK, make sure everything you drink contains protein. I could barely eat more than a couple tablespoons at a time for several months, but I still got in 60-80g protein starting day five via protein shakes, milk, and even thinned Greek Yogurt. And no, I didn't want to eat, either, but I forced myself to get proper nutrition. After all, the whole point of surgery was to be healthy. Like @@perforce suggested, it's easier to eat a couple tablespoons several times/day than it is to try and eat just 1 meal. -
My goal is 800. Most days I have to fight to get there. (7weeks out). I can hit my Protein target with less than 400 Cals but know that is way too low. I "fluff" my calories with things like yogurt or hard boiled eggs.

Hello everyone, I just registered here because I need help. I'm two weeks post-op (February 16). I cannot eat. The first two weeks were a massive struggle to get Protein in. I could not swallow liquid Protein, they are gave me nausea, so I ate vegetable Soup (blended of course) and drank Water. Monday this week, I had the staples removed and pretty much go called an idiot by the nurse (she was not wrong). So I moved on to the pureed foods, the first thing I tried was Greek yogurt never had before but I have trouble going through the portion, it can take me up to 40 minutes. I am not hungry at all. The only thing I can eat again in about 40 minutes is my two scrambled eggs with cheese and apple sauce. Has anybody else felt this way? On Monday I had actually gained 4 pounds because according to the nurse my body was going into starvation mode..... I'm seriously freaking out. Thanks for any help or advice!

Does it ever get better?
SHIFTYOLDLADY replied to crazyplantlady's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It gets amazingly better. I had my surgery over 5 years ago, reached my goal and have maintained. I discovered, that one day I could eat something and the next day I couldn't. I enjoy pretty much all foods, just keep my portions very small. I eat around every 3 hours, a yogurt, etc. for Snacks. I use small containers so my portion control is easy. I go out to eat occasionally. Always ask for a to-go container when food is delivered, that way you won't try to over eat. When I get home, I immediately portion the left overs out and have meals for a week. It takes time to figure out what you can eat. Mostly chew your food well, small portions and no liquids while eating. The first few months after surgery I didn't see much of a loss but then I had lost 130 in a year. -
So I've been doing well, surgery on 12/28, down 40 pounds and feeling fantastic. Except after I eat dinner. These past two weeks, I've been throwing up 4 of 5 dinners because I get serious pain. I'm perfectly fine during the day; I have my Protein shakes, yogurts, Protein drinks, cottage cheese, bariatric "Chips" etc. without issues. I already know chicken and I are no longer friends, but fish and I are. I put less on my plate than my 4 year olds, never go back for seconds. I think I chew enough and I don't drink with my meals or ahead of them. I am just wondering if anyone else has developed issues like this and how you've gotten around it. I'm starting to worry and my husband thinks I'm becoming bulimic. Thanks in advance for any insight!

Four months post gastric sleeve and two months post gallbladder surgery. Starting weight 234 and I am now 184. Everything was going great, for the first two months. Adapted well to surgery, losing weight, getting in shape, feeling great. Then all of a sudden everything has come to a complete stop. I have lost 2 lbs, in TWO months. I expected stalls but cannot believe it is lasting this long with all that I am doing. Still no, bread, pasta, rice, soft drinks, or caffeine. Breakfast options - egg, Greek yogurt, protein drink, or berries and cheese. Lunch options - lean meats (usually super leftovers) or deli meats & cheese Supper options - Usually lean meat and green vegetable. my quick meals are tuna, imitation crab legs, shrimp, chicken fingers. Snacks options are - Cheese/nuts, protein drinks, Italian ice, nuts and/or seeds. I consume 60 - 90 grams of protein per day, and 60+ oz of water per day. I do not keep up with calories, but it is under 1000 per day. I do not journal, but I am very conscious of what I eat. I exercise 4-5 times per week. Each day I do 30 minutes to one hour of cardio and alternate upper body, lower body and abs with machine weights. I truly workout, I am drenched when I leave. I am so grateful for what I have lost, but was hoping for more. So any advise on what I am doing wrong or what I need to do?

Inner Surfer Girl replied to Scout1702's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
To me it is as easy to eat cottage cheese or Greek yogurt as to drink a Protein shake. I agree. What are you eating? Do you plan your meals and Snacks? Are you tracking your food? What is your protein target? By the way, congratulations on the weight loss. You look great! -
Three Months Post Op Success
Inner Surfer Girl replied to JupiterinVirgo's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Congratulations! I understand that not tracking seems to be working well for you, but how do you know whether or not you are getting enough Protein? Just curious. My surgeon suggests only 40-50 g of protein a day so it's really easy to get into that ballpark without obsessing over grams. A cup of yogurt, a handful of nuts, Collegen powder in a green smoothie or a cup of coffee and some cheese usually does the job. 40-50 grams of protein seems really low. Is that the protein target ongoing or was that just the target in the few days after surgery when it was harder to get in protein? This is first time I think I have ever seen a protein target under 60 grams, and most are closer to 80-100 grams. Mine is 100. -

Make sure you are nor drinking 30min, before and after you have your shakes...I was told if we drink after, especially you will push the Protein drinks through faster and we won't absorb it. Thats what happens to me,I felt hunger pang and realized I was drink right after eating by 10 min.Now I am by the book doing much better..I look forward to to Jello and pops to curb I. Between and broth oh YUMMYY LOL:( On Wed, I go to one soft meal at dinner !!! Yeah sometimes I forget I need more Water intake I need to add crystal light to the water so much water has me a bit tired of it. Are you allowed to eat puree foods yet or yogurt? What shakes do you buy for protein ? Well tomorrow I have to see my nutritionist I'm hoping I can eat something else other then protein shakes and soups I actually tried twice the Greek yogurt but omg i felt it was so heavy for me does that happen to you ?and I tried lentil soup being that it's so good for Iron and that was ok Have you eaten anything outside of what your supposed to eat ?

RoscoColetrain replied to crazyplantlady's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I find that i'm much more comfy with soft moist foods like refried beans, eggs,yogurt,cottage cheese than i am the few pieces of chicken or beef i've tried. Blended chicken chili was good but chewed to death chicken or beef just seems to get drier and drier. -

My doc does allow sf jello, sf pudding, Dannon fit & light Greek yogurt, ice pops...I just wish I could at least have a small salad included too.
