Milk: the Reason I Look Like a Heifer?
VSGAnn2014 replied to careya123's topic in Food and Nutrition
I didn't think that milk slowed down my weight loss. But I usually drank only one glass of skim milk each day -- rarely, I drank two glasses a day. I also still eat / ate a lot of cheese (full-fat) and was a big fan of Greek yogurt during my weight-losing phases. As a matter of fact, I'm eating a Dannon Oikos vanilla greek yogurt right now. I always thought heifers were very cute animals -- quite attractive! -
What is a "Slider" food
Rogofulm commented on kulita's blog entry in Kulita's gathered information & help
Thanks very much for this post, @kulita! Since you've researched this, I have a follow-up question... What about non-carb soft foods like yogurt and guacamole? Do they also have the slider effect even though they are protein-based? -
Just wondering what's everyone's story and starting weight was?
nicky2221 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know you should never ask people how much they weigh,I for one would be angry if I got asked that anywhere else but this site...I feel comfortable enough to talk about it with you guys anyone else feel comfortable enough to share their weight? I'm 5"6 and my heaviest was 21stone but got down to 19 then went to see my doctor to see if I could have a sleeve as I have problems with my back..he said he would send me to see a surgeon! From then I lost a further 14 pounds he then put me through for surgery on the 1st of March then a week ago I had a call to say he has a space for the 16 th and I had to start my pre op diet right away which was 1 pint of milk... Up to 8 yogurts and water for 2 weeks,I'm now a week in and weight is 17st13pounds 1 more week to go :-) -
Here is my 1 month pics I lost 18 lbs, and 36 inches, you can see it the most on my stomach and my face. I still have liquid protein, and i have mashed potato, carrot, and Rutabega so far. I also have chicken, ribs, turkey. Just small amounts. I try to limit to 2 tbs of meat and 2 tbs of mashed veggie. I try really had to have water, Im still not even to 20 oz yet. But I don't constantly sip. Its hard especially when you go to stop 30 mins before and not have to drink 30 mins after for each meal you want to have. its hard to fit it all in. I get about 60 protein, and thats with 2 shakes and some meat. I still have yogurt and pudding still. I also can have a few fries, and had yam fries. And haven gravy. I find it hard now cuz when I eat I like to take more then 1 bite, and the food gets cold because you can't eat at a normal pace. I need to get used to one bite, chew swallow, wait a minute then take another. When I get full, I have a heavy chest feeling. and i just take a sip of a drink to help wash it down. My incisions have closed up, still red but healing Its been a good month. I want mac and cheese and pop!

Soft foods phase
Inner Surfer Girl replied to Erossi's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What are you eating that you are bored with? When I was on soft foods I ate a lot of cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, refried Beans, tuna, grilled salmon, as well as a lot of the liquids and foods from my previous stages which you may think is boring. Check out the World According to Eggface for recipe ideas.- 1 reply

Anyone have RNY on 01-18-16
Newlife4nita replied to Lyndzee104's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes. Unfortunately I have never liked yogurt. I tried pudding but it doesn't agree with me. -
Night time was my downfall. I have to get up every couple of hours to stretch my back and would just "graze". I moved my bedroom upstairs away from the kitchen. I also take a Greek yogurt to bed with me along with a glass of crystal light. If you're up and about, come onto this site. If I'm not here, there is usually some other night owl to chat with... ZZZZZZZZZZ, Valentina

Calling all February 1st Sleevers!
prettyCali916 replied to arenea's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm pretty sure I can. Although my focus will be on fish and Greek yogurt during that phase. I'll be mixing the syntrax protein powder into the Greek yogurt so hopefully it tastes good! -

Is yogurt a no-go for you also? -
LOve that we are all helping each other. Try the oikos triple zero. It has zero calories zero sugar and zero fat. 15 grams of Protein and the GENEPRO should up your protein. You can also blend the yogurt with your protein and add a splash of milk to make it easier to go down.

I'm 2 weeks post op. Because I'm on soft/liquid diet a normal meal for me consists of 2oz tomatoe soup, a small wedge of laughing cow cheese and half a yogurt. I take my time and it takes me about a half hour to finish it. I feel satisfied but not stuffed when I'm done. Am I eating too much? I'm so afraid of doing something wrong.

I really wished I liked yogurt. I have tried SO many flavors and they are all so tart at first that I don't even taste what flavor they are supposed to be life would be much easier if I could eat them!!!

Monday I can EAT!

My first soft food was a vanilla Oikos Zero Greek Yogurt. It was like heaven. That yogurt was so good it taste like cheesecake to me. ☺️ -
I ate some soft food, what's the worst that could happen?
tessy_85308 replied to Joshua Torode's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was on real food 8 days after surgery. My doctor didn't have a purée stage because he wanted us to start eating ASAP. I was sleeved on 12/21. I could eat eggs, chicken, turkey, fish, yogurt, beans, and cheese. There are more items this is just a quick list. I am not going to tell you what you need to do just what my doctor had me do. -
Wow that is awesome! Sounds like you're doing great with those. Adding the protein to yogurt is a good idea, I will have to try that.

Food packing for Vacation
Daisee68 replied to Gethealthy2016's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am getting ready to do same and often have to pack some snacks for times away with my nephews for soccer tournaments. So I pack my snacks I. Snack size bags and then put them all in one big ziploc. I pack 1 oz portions of beef jerky (love Leave brand as it is very tender), cashews and Quest bars. If I am going to have ability to refrigerate, I take the 2% Cracker Barrel sharp cheddar cheese bars (3/4 oz) and Premier Protein ready made drinks and yogurt. I will be going to Mexico on vacation soon and won't be able to take the liquids, so I am going to put a scoop of Protein. powder in ags to take with me to mix with water. It doesn't taste as great mixed with water but I know it will make sure to get my protein in. Will be interested to see others suggestions. -
9/21/15 sleeved. Is a daily protein shake good or bad at this point?
sleeve_getter replied to sleeve_getter's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
First off I don't like Quest bars. I do however love the chocolate chip cookie dough bars from Slim 4 Life (I did that program a few years ago with limited temporary success). So I have a stash of those bars on standby when I crave a sweet something but I try to limit to one a week at most. The premier shakes are much lower carbs than the bars so I justify them as a breakfast easier than as a supplement or snack. I do think it's critical to meet at least 60g protein a day and an egg or yogurt for my breakfast always make me short at the end of the day. Thanks for the chat! -
I do a blended syntha 6 Protein with skim plus. The skim plus has 11 grams of protein per serving which is divided in half since i use 4 oz of milk. so 5.5 plus 25 from the powder per 5 ozs is 30.5, I do that twice a day. I also mix in the Protein Powder into yogurt to up it from 15 grams to 35 grams so that way i take in my protein. I started on pureed foods but only eat half of a stage 1 jar in the morning and half in the afternoon. I also total 68 to 70 ozs of liquid most of that being Water or tea. Hope this helps.

9/21/15 sleeved. Is a daily protein shake good or bad at this point?
sleeve_getter replied to sleeve_getter's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Well your quote sounds straight out of my binder. I'm with KC Bariatric and our NUT Laura says I shouldn't lean on the shakes so much but as long as I'm not hungry and snacking before lunch it's ok. I get on avg between 60-70 grams of protein a day with half of that of course from my shake. On days I don't do a shake I usually eat a yogurt for breakfast which is less protein and more carbs. -
Hi all! I am heading out of state for a week with a friend and need plane friendly, shelf stable advice on things to pack to take. While I know I can visit a grocery store there, I will be with her family and one car so I won't have everything I need to stay on plan right away like Greek yogurt, FF cottage cheese, etc. I need to pack some kind bars, but most of my Protein comes from meat and low fat/FF dairy. Any suggestions?

Greek yogurt has a lot more protein than regular yogurt. In fact, many of the things we think of as yogurt aren't really yogurt and don't even say yogurt on the container (Yoplait Light). Check the label for protein, fat, and sugar and you'll be surprised at the differences.

Pre-op Liquid Diet Question
perforce replied to lastmemory318's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Milk, or yogurt drinks thinned to a milk like consistency, would all have been allowed on my pre-op had I chosen to do liquids instead of solid foods, so that's an option too. -
Low BMI slow losing encouragement welcome!
mrs w replied to itstimealready's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was down 5 lbs. Started Jan 1 just eating healthier but still not perfect. Then Jan 6, for three days prior to surgery, I was on a yogurt only diet, but still had one premier protein shake each day. So excited your day is getting closer! What day is surgery? How extreme is your pre op diet?
