I am having such a difficult time with constipation I am putting 2 capsules of Probiotics I buy from costco in my yogurt each morning NOW I have also started taking 2 stool softener caps at night - one at a time so I do not cause a block. I know from past diets whenever I had a lot of Protein this would happen BUT I am still in the soft food stage with my foods I can eat. Tried chili without meat, tasted good but did not make the magic I was hoping for happen BTW I am off pain meds so I feel its just alot of protein in my diet and yes I should admit getting the Water down is tough for me - I do drink 2 premier Protein drinks a day as my NUT recommended also. And I do have 3 cups decaf in the morn ( does that count for water?) and also try and drink 80 ounces of water in addition to my protein drinks. Please share with me ideas you have used that worked - now 28 days post surgery YAY no dumping yet LOL All of you are my heros by the way so very very happy I found this site - everyone is AWESOME!!! Thanks for your ideas and your time ! Bonne

Do you think I should add another shake?
songsmith replied to songsmith's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I added another shake yesterday (mixed it with Greek yogurt) and guess what? Lost more than I have before and I feel more energetic. It was a good decision. Thank you, everyone, for advising me! -
@@2goldengirl At my personal support group we talked about leaks and someone there had one past 3 months; it does occur mainly because the healing process is different for each person. I do not believe is a leak because I would have a fever and other symptoms that go with a leak. I am waiting until Wednesday because the pain has continued with every bite of everything other than yogurt, and at this stage, eating just yogurt is not appealing! LOL.

February 2016 sleevers?
prettyCali916 replied to NYGirlxo's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey my fellow Feb 1 sister!!! Glad you're doing well!!! My whole throat was messed up from intubation. I think my anesthesiologist scraped it by mistake - it hurt more than anything, even the incisions. I've progressed to soft foods so I'm mainly eating soups, Greek yogurt, eggs, fish, Popsicles and protein shakes. I'm allowed other things but I like to keep it simple. What about you? Come back to our feb 1 thread! We miss you! -
how much protein can you eat per meal?
catwoman7 replied to Katie Loesch-Meyer's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
June person here, too. I still eat about 2 oz of dense Protein at a meal, but I also eat vegetables at every meal (except Breakfast - when I usually eat Greek yogurt with a few berries). If it weren't for the vegetables, I could probably eat more protein - but I *love* vegetables - even more than the protein. -
Congratulations on the new job. Can I make a suggestion? I assume that you want to start your job out on the right foot and make a good impression as well as establish healthy habits? If so, I HIGHLY recommend that you not eat lunch at your desk. It is a terrible habit to get into. I know because I did it for DECADES. Even if you pack your lunch, please try to eat it away from your desk. It is part of a mindful eating practice as well as a good way to establish some boundaries around your health and your time. A book I recommend frequently about work life balance is The One Life Solution by Dr. Henry Cloud. To answer your question about things that are easy to pack for a lunch: Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, string cheese, turkey, leftovers, etc.

I take cottage cheese, greek yogurt, low-fat cheese sticks, or leftovers from the previous night's dinner.
-
Eat something every 2 hours. (Shake, yogurt,Popsicles, whatever you're allowed)

Daily Meal Ideas for WLS 8+ Months Out
Alex Brecher replied to Katnroyal's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Thanks for all the great ideas! Here are a few of my daily meals…nothing too exciting, but they seem to work for me. Breakfast: Greek yogurt with blueberries and sometimes oatmeal. Lunch: Greek salad with lettuce, feta, olives, vinaigrette, tomatoes, cucumbers. Dinner: chicken or tofu stir fry with vegetables, or fajitas with peppers, onions, and tomatoes. -
Plain Greek yogurt protein infused is good. Dannon Oikos......but water and shake still more difficult

Just had my sleeve done on the 23rd. of Feb by Adam Glasgow. I was 322 when I had my surgery. The folks at Norwood Hospital in Mass were amazing they helped make the post op recovery as manageable possible.. Like everyone else I'm in the ole liquid diet but with one difference i'm allowed Blenderized Soups and not just Clear liquids, yogurt, Jello etc... today was tough really had craving for solid foods but the wife quickly put a stop to that. Glad i found this support forum looking forward to this journey to a new me Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Do you think I should add another shake?
VSGAnn2014 replied to songsmith's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Just FYI, by Day 5 post-op I was slugging down 60 grams of Protein -- a couple of GNC Lean shakes 25s (swiss chocolate) and a 5.3 ounce container of Greek yogurt (vanilla) got me there. -
Do you think I should add another shake?
songsmith replied to songsmith's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thanks, everyone! Like I said, I met the Protein requirements during the liquid stage, but not since they scaled back the number of shakes for the pureed stage. I don't think it can be good for my body. I will try it for a few days to see how I feel. I don't want my body to start cannibalizing my muscles! I do have Greek yogurt. Last night I felt guilty about having an "extra" meal so grabbed the first "allowable" protein I saw. -
The throwing up hasn't happened to me, but I have had times where an hour of having something I've had to run to the toilet. Usually it's with milk (I'm not lactose intolerant, I can handle cheese, yogurt etc buy milk just doesn't like me, i've has to switch to soy). Could it be there was something in the sauce, or that it was too fatty? Your stomach tolerance can change day to day, but keep an eye on this and if ut repeats go talk to your doc.

I had to do 3 weeks on liquids and now 2 of blended/mushy food. However my Clear Liquids phase counted anything thin enough to run through a fork, not anything literally clear, so I had more choices. Maybe check with your doc and see if they would be OK with you doing other soups/yogurts as long as they were thin and had no lumps. Sent from my SM-G900H using the BariatricPal App

I want pureed food!
animallover1247 replied to alexitez's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have two weeks of a liquid diet and then two weeks of pureed foods. I am starving ALL the time. I am miserable! I did not expect to be dealing with this hunger all the time. Today was the first day I did not get all of my Protein in. I could not take one more bite of greek yogurt or one more drink of a Protein shake, I was eating and drinking those things six months before surgery and I want to puke every time I have to consume them now. Once I am on food, I don't think I will ever eat or drink those same things again. I will find an alternative. I feel for you having to wait an entire month. It is very interesting how every doctor is different with their instructions. -
I think of vegetables when I say healthy carbs. Since I can't have seafood and don't like yogurt or soft cheeses my proteins have traditionally included beans.

I have done 2 weeks of clear fluids and am now on 2 weeks of full fluids which includes thinned down Greek yogurt, puréed soup and Protein shakes. I was sleeved February 9th. After I finish 2 weeks of full fluids I move on to soft foods for a minimum of 2 weeks and then to solids. It's weird how every surgeon seems to have a different plan of attack for getting back to eating. I think my surgeon works really hard at having us create good habits which helps with our long term success. I agree though I don't care to ever consume broth or Jello again!! Good uck and just try to keep really focused on the process.

I am a week and a half post op, and experiencing my first cravings: tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots. To drink? Ice-cold fresh Water. I am, of course, still in liquids, but added yogurt this week. I really enjoy the Bariatric Pal Cream of chicken Soup as well. I never craved fresh vegetables before, so I could get used to craving something healthy!! I hope it's still what I crave layer when they are something I can eat.. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

So the omelet I had the other day with Beans and cheese was not good for me to have based on this report. I wish they would have said more about what kind of digestive troubles. Because in this phase in my diet, that is what I am allowed to eat. "Beans with milk, eggs, cheese, yogurt, meat and fish. Although these combinations are common in some Latin American cuisines, it’s possible that their eaters’ bodies have become accustomed or adapted to these combinations. Nonetheless it’s not a reason to continue, and the unhabituated might experience digestive troubles." The other combines not to eat made sense to me.

Help need breakfast ideas for traveling
Inner Surfer Girl replied to 2ndtime around's topic in Food and Nutrition
Yes, I use water to mix Syntrax, either with a spoon or a blender cup. If your hotel has a fridge you might want to get some single serve yogurts or cottage cheese. If you are ordering in a restaurant then yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs, etc. are usually on most hotel and restaurant breakfast menus. As far as fast food, most fast food restaurants that have breakfast have eggs. You don't necessarily have to have "breakfast" food for breakfast either. Tuna could work for breakfast, too. -
I'm at five and a half weeks and I don't manage to eat very much, but I can eat pretty much anything (healthy, that is!). A yogurt would probably fill me up, or not much more than one, and you just might be filling yourself up on that. What kind of foods have you been trying to eat that feel stuck?
-
The 'stuck' feeling is a sign you are full, if you're eating yogurt first you may well be filling yourself up pre-meal. I don't know how far out you are but you may only be able to eat a few small bites at first. Sent from my SM-G900H using the BariatricPal App
