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.

Good and meal ideas
jhclikesshopping@gmail.com replied to jademb1023's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My recommendation - Protein dairy case: String cheese, Cottage cheese, Nonfat greek yogurt, laughing cow cheese. Grocery: Tuna,, Avocado, Jerky, Deli counter- rTurkey lunch meat, chicken, steak, ham and fish-I get whatever is already cooked in the deli section. Shrimp -i buy the kits for shrimpcocktail. Freezer - grilled fish (gortons) , frozen meatballs (turkey or beef) Hope this helps. -
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!

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? -
QUESTIONS!
NatashaSaysRawr replied to NatashaSaysRawr's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
1. Can you also have Protein shakes, sugar free Jello and sugar free Popsicle on your plan? I found that the variety of those things helped. I also tried a lot of different protein shakes and that kept things interesting. Just remember this phase does not last forever so you can make it through.2. The purée soups depends on your plan. Pre op I was only allowed protein shakes, broth, SF jello and SF Popsicles. Post op I was allowed puréed soups 3. For the first approx. three months I found it hard enough just to get all my protein and Water in for the day. food didn't taste very good in the beginning for me and I didn't want any snacks, I just ate when I was hungry. We are all different. Just listen to your body, stick to your plan, and when you do eat snacks make sure they are healthy snacks and you will do fine. 4. Wish I could remember how long mine took to heal. I did go on a beach vacation at five weeks post op and they were completely healed by then. 5. After surgery my tasted changed drastically. I didn't have any cravings for about the first nine months. Now when I have cravings its for sweet things- pre op I loved chips bread and Pasta, now I have no cravings for those things. Now that I am at maintenance if I have a craving for something sweet I eat it and just get right back on my high protein low carb way of eating. 6. Going out to eat has always been easy for me. I just make sure to pick high protein food. Almost all restaurants have something you can pick from. Nowadays I usually just split a meal with my husband or get an appetizer. Makes eating out cheaper. For instance today I was out running errands and shopping and went through chick fil a and got the grilled chicken nuggets. Good luck on your surgery!! 1-Mostly on clear liquids but I can have apple sauce and yogurt 2-thank you 3-by snacks I meant by the bariatric snacks 4-thank you 5-my nutritionist said my taste buds will never be the same because they change 6-ok and because my family have pizza night every other Friday -

Pre-op Liquid Diet Question

Multi Vitamin with Iron
ccollin07 replied to healthynow75's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I dumped this MV into my yogurt and it tasted fine but the consistency was very granular. Did you ever mix it with food or drink? -
The day before? Honestly I don't! I eat whatever I'd normally eat! You typically burn 100 calories per mile so you don't really need a LOT of extra food. Day of if I will be running longer than an hour (6+ miles usually) I will eat a bit higher in carbs than usual--oatmeal with Protein powder in it or a small banana with Peanut Butter. My goal is about 200 calories. Then if it's a race or a really long run (10 miles or more) I will often drink juice--I like evolution brand with fruits and veggies and sometimes coconut Water. Then I try to take in 100 calories at 30-40 minutes and then every half hour after that. Sometimes that's purchased runners fuel--gu's or gels--or more often the more whole food ones like bonk breakers or honey stinger waffles. I can't typically eat it all at once so I do it but by bit. Sometimes I use fruit pouches marketed to kids, sometimes I make my own date/nut/dried fruit balls or use the Lara bars that are just those. Sometimes I use peanut butter pretzels. I typically drink NUUN on a run but if I'm worried about getting enough calories I will do Fluid or something with sugar. Then after I refuel with protein and carbs--often a higher carb Protein shake like BSN Syntha 6. Sometimes I have geek yogurt with granola or pretzels (I usually need some salt) or I save my peanut butter and banana for after.

February 2016 sleevers?
nicky2221 replied to NYGirlxo's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a hard time because of hunger and tiredness the first two days. Wednesday and Thursday weren't as hard but I was still hungry. Today I had a harder time because there was a Superbowl Party right behind my desk, but I have fantastic friends that brought veggies and low fat dip and a strawberry salad. I had raw veggies with a little dip and a salad with some raspberry vinaigrette. Not too much sugar and I didn't veer far off the path too far. I had a shake an hour ago because I stay hungry! Do the best you can. It's a struggle but you can do it! it's hard isn't it,I'm on a liquid only diet so I'm allowed 8 yogurts a day with 1 pint of milk that's all :-( the yogurts are making me feel sick though so only managed to eat half of one today and yesterday! But I've lost 8 pounds so that's good I guess! Thank you for your support :-) we can get through this ???? 10 days left until surgery!! -
Flying after surgery, and puréed foods
DaisyAmy replied to RoadToMe's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Definitely bring Protein powder. You can always bring an empty shaker bottle with you, too, and fill it up after you pass through security. I'd bet you could find a yogurt in the airport. As for going out, it's a little tricky with purée. eggs were on my purée list, so if it happens to be a diner, you might be ok. Some soups will work, too. A bisque or something you can sip the broth out of. Also, you didn't hear this from me, but someone once said all food is purée if you chew it enough! So, if you can only find a bean Soup or soft white fish, just chew and chew and chew!! -
Flying after surgery, and puréed foods
JamieLogical replied to RoadToMe's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You can bring packets of Protein powder and a collapsible funnel with you. Then just buy bottled Water or milk once you are through security and mix the Protein Powder into the bottle. A lot of airports also have thing like yogurt or cheese sticks for sale at various stands. Are you allowed cheese sticks in your pureed stage? I was. If you don't know, maybe you can ask your nutritionist ahead of time. For eating out, you are going to be pretty limited to just Soups. Be careful to not eat any of the more solid chunky bits. Definitely do NOT eat the celery if there's celery in there. It's way too fibrous, even cooked. -
HAD AN EPISODE WITH A BOILED EGG
MojoCAMI replied to Kaishek's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
ohh heck yes I have had this happen and it sucks.. I was good with scrambled eggs on week 5 and then week 6 or 7 my sleeve said no thank you and sent it back up. the only thing that has never come back up is baked chicken, yogurt and cheese, everything else is suspect. I just figured its part of the process, I don't use my nausea pills as much which is good, and i have learned to taste things and wait 5min now before taking another bite. -
Tired of Unhappy Stomach
jj7481 replied to bugsy72's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgical center provides a stage-by-stage diet plan including portion sizes. My stage 2 was no more than 2oz of yogurt/mashed potatoes/cottage cheese at a time, 4x daily. Post bypass is an experiment that each person needs to take part in. What food agrees with me may not agree with you. Stick to your measured portions 3-4x daily and make sure you are getting in all your Protein as well as Water. That way you'll KNOW you're eating the right amount and not too much. If you need to break the meals down into smaller portions....so be it. -
I'm nine weeks out and have no regrets about having gastric bypass. I'm down 46 pounds. yay! But I'm getting tired of having to always wonder if i can eat something or if i'm eating too much or if I'm eating too fast. I hate the feeling I get when my stomach doesn't like a food, and actually, I haven't even ventured out very far yet from yogurt, Soup, Protein shakes, you know; the 'slider' foods. This morning i had Cream of Wheat. With plenty of fairlife milk so it was creamy. I didn't eat much, perhaps 1/4-1/3 cup. So I don't think i overate. I had no desire or room to add fruit as my nutritionist suggests. I waited an hour to two hours and tried to drink some Water and my stomach wants nothing to do with it. I thought i was going to throw up but it seems to have calmed down now. But my stomach feels uncomfortable...so i am not feeling good right now. Ugh. i hate this part of the journey! I've had cream of wheat several times before. I don't remember it being a problem. Your comments? I feel like I can't even take my Vitamins right now.

I'm on day 3 of the liver reduction diet to get my sleeve "back in shape". It's already feeling more restricted. It's good reminder to up up up your protein when you've been slacking and get in the habit of healthy eating again. Plus, once you see the scale start moving again, it's gets you in the groove again. They have me on a shake for breakfast, a shake for lunch with either 4 oz. of yogurt or 1/2 cup plain oatmeal, or 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce or sugar free pudding, a snack whcih would be something that you could choose from lunch and dinner is 2 oz lean protein with 1 cup of green veggies. If you absolutely have to you can have a shake in the evening. They would probably like you to make shakes with water but I make mine with skimmed milk. Drink all the broth you want and eat sugar free jello. The first day and a 1/2 are tough. You will have carb withdrawl but your energy levels will sky rocket and you will be reminded on how good this feels.

Greek yogurt has been my saving grace in the purée stage

Update: day 2 I had the leak test and was in tears by the end because of the feeling of the liquid hitting my new pouch. Since I passed the test, they started me on Clear liquids and took my iv fluids bag off. I've been walking a ton. Mat least 10-15 laps around the floor 7-8 times a day and it usually helps me get out one painful burp of gas. I was supposed to go home tonight but spent the night again because pain is not managed yet. I was started on the liquid hydrocodone which should last 4-6 hours and only lasts me about 1.5 hours. Then they give me diludad which lasts for 2 hours max. So pain seems like it will keep me again coupled with the fact that I'm struggling to drink 1 oz Water per hour. I know this is going to get better daily and even with the pain and discomfort I would do it over no doubt! Did anyone stay more than 2 nights because of pain management? Also, any advice to get over the fear of drinking water/sipping broth/baby nibbling Jello? I have clear liquids again today and am already fearing the yogurt and shakes that come tomorrow. ????????????

I was sleeved 1/25 too! I am on clear liquids, protein drinks, and plain Greek yogurt for 2 weeks. After that I can have puréed foods for 2 weeks. Hey - good to see another 1/25 person here! How are you doing?
