I will not be having my Sleeve done until Feb 5th 2014.. But I do want to know what should be in my Fridge before that. I want to get use to things that I would be eating and liking them before... so it will go smooth. I have been buying things with Protein.. Checking the cal to be low with the most protein...I did get Granola to put in my Cereal with 10g of protein "nature valley".. But than the next time I bought it I got the Special K Low fat Granola with a touch of Honey..it is only 7g of protein, but had less cal... I like some in cereal and I like it in yogurt... This Special K one has 47% less fat..... SO WHAT IS IN YOUR FRIDGE... it is good to have things in there.. that are good to reach for...Good luck to you all JewelJ -
After 4 long weeks of liquids, I dream t of my first soft meal. Refried Beans with a dollup of sour cream, taco sauce and a pinch of cheddar cheese. It was like a steak and lobster dinner. All I had dreamed and more. For the following 4 weeks I ate alot of canned chili (with melted cheese), cottage cheese, yogurt, canned chicken and tuna with mayo, eggs, refried beans, tilapia, and canned fruit/veggies, avocado. Basically the only things I couldn't have were tough meats (white meat chicken{not canned}, pork, red meat, fresh veggies/fruit, bread products, nuts, seeds. Most things r considered soft or semi soft (oh, and no Jerky allowed! lol. Guess thats probly self explanatory). I'm sure ur happy to be moving onto the soft phase. The 1st 4 weeks were like an eternity for me. Thought it would never end. Good luck to u and have fun with the advanced diet...

Ive had the popsicles, yogurt, pudding, and shakes. The need to bite and chew is overwhelming, but thank you for those supportive words. It helped a little.

Here's something I just posted in another forum. You're not quite ready for this yet, but maybe you'll get some ideas about how to get your fluids and Protein in once you get a few more weeks down the road... I keep a 2-quart jug and a 24-oz cup both at home and at work. I count my morning Protein shake as a meal, not as Fluid. (30 grams of protein) 30-60 minutes later, I have a cup of coffee. (Count it as a fluid if you like.) After that, I drink a 24-oz. cup of decaf, sugar-free iced tea, like Crystal Light. (Lots of frequent sips) Then I walk for 40+ minutes. Then it's lunchtime - tuna or chicken salad, or leftover protein from dinner. (16-22 grams of protein) About 45 minutes after lunch, I fill another 24-oz cup of iced tea and work on that throughout the afternoon, finishing by 30 minutes before my afternoon snack. Afternoon snack is usually a Greek yogurt (12 grams of protein) or V-8, or some leftovers. (This is also a good time to get in some veggies if you're getting enough protein at other times.) Maybe a cup of hot tea in the later afternoon. (Count it as a fluid you like.) Then dinner - again, getting 20-25 grams of protein and maybe a bite or two of veggies. Finally, another 25-oz cup of iced tea or Water 30-45 minutes after dinner that I sip throughout the evening. If I'm hungry later, sugar-free Jello or popsicles are good. So that's 70+ grams of protein and more than 64 ounces of fluid, with some exercise thrown in. Lately I'm finding that the fluid is taking away my need for Snacks, so I have to make sure I don't miss out on some protein! If you have a regular enough schedule, you can follow it every day. If not, maybe a modified version will work. The big trick is in pre-planning your meals and your fluids. Good luck!

Came home from the hospital yesterday morning. I'm very bloated, and the gas is just now starting to pass. My husband gives me a "you go girl!" when I do. lol Today, I'm able to start back on low carb slimfast, sugarfree pudding, sugarfree applesauce and light yogurt. My question is, do you think small amounts of sugarfree ice cream would be ok? What else have you been able to tolerate during this stage? Would love any assistance you can give. :thumbup:

Am I eating too much ? Am I eating too much? Protein drink in morning 1/2 cup yogurt Protein water 16.9 oz throughout the day Protein drink made with 8 oz soy milk I feel like I don't know if I should have the protein water and soy in addition to the 3 protein drinks and meals or if it's too much! I figured the soy could count as my afternoon meal and I could count the water as the evening meal

They had about 20 pages of recipies you could run copies of. I have 3 weeks mushies then 3 weeks soft foods. There's a sort of merge to these items in the middle. Basically the first half I can handle with my food purer and the second half just by checking the texture. I am not a good cook so I only took on recipe which was for a greek yogurt smoothie with chunks of banana (soft food part). I already tried it a couple of different ways and pureed it. I was not impressed. It seemed bland. But I"m a pretty bad cook so it might be me. And maybe that's why I have found the stage II and III baby foods to be pretty tasty. Sometimes it's about what you are used too! -
I'm really afraid I'm doing this all wrong.. I haven't been counting carbs or sugar.. I've averaged about 800 calories, until recently.. I've been pushing it..I've been reading and all of you have been so diligent in what you consume.. I usually have flavored Greek yogurt for breakfast. Cottage cheese and a cheese stick for lunch and a protein shake for dinner.. Recently, I've been adding more cheese sticks and snacking on what my family is eating.. I even had cheddar crackers the other day! Looks as if the majority is staying under 10 grams if sugar, 40 carbs a day? Is that about right?

Just banded 2/8 - Hunger pains
kbinaz replied to slmaem's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You should follow your doctor's instructions. I'm assuming he gave you some! If he didn't give you any you should ask him. My doctor had me on soft proteins starting on day four (surgery day is day 1) (cottage cheese, chicken, refried beans, l.f./ low sugar yogurt) and it helped with the hunger. Remember you may be kind of hungry til your first fill. -

I'm only 5 days post op and can eat an entire chobani yogurt without pacing myself at all.

I at a WHOLE container of greek yogurt in one sitting. No heavy feeling. It called "Chobani". Is was soooooo good. I tried mashed potatoes with chicken gravy at lunch and it sat like a lead balloon.

I like to stir things more and sip sip sip. Hope this helps oh yes! If you hold more then 1/2 cup of food or liquids that's ok too. Kayleena -
Sometimes, once we move off full liquids, and onto mushies, we're not getting as much Fluid from the foods like puddings, jellos, yogurts etc. If you can puree your food with an immersion blender, mini food processor or mush it with a food really well, that may help. I added 2Tbsp of miracle whip for every 2ounces of chicken or tuna, that made it moist, and I chewed, chewed, and it helped things go down. Mild dehydration can cause some nausea also. Thank you for the sweet comments. Just hang in there, and if you have to stick with full liquids for a couple of extra days, you'll be okay. Don't push your tummy, it'll tell you when it's ready. Maybe try 1 meal a day with soft solids, and the other 2-3 meals (whatever your program calls for) stick to more thick liquid stuff. I promise it gets easier.

Cheated post op diet... am I hurting myself?
rumar replied to Liz1531's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My Dr. is the same as yours...3 weeks liquid, 3 week pureed, then solids. My appt is 09/26 so he says he might allow me to switch to solids 1 week sooner. I did start eating Yogurt this past Thursday and the 1st time I ate it it cramped me terribly and I got really really scared I'd caused harm. But since then I've had 1 yogurt per day and a yogurt smoothie and it has not hurt me. Now this is all under the supervision of my Dietician of whom I called Wednesday to see if there was anything else I could eat other than the standard broth, Jello.....etc and this is what she told me to add. I will admit on yesterday my granddaughter had a baked potato and I tasted a small tiny bite. I didn't feel any funny sensations but have not made it a habit since. You might want to try some Chinese Hot & Sour Soup (or wonton) and skim the juice off of it (I do Water it down somewhat). At least it gives you a bit of a spicy taste and it has 100 calories and 2 grams of fat (in my case less than that since I dilute it). This has really really helped me. I was told to put something in me at least every 2 hours and I shouldn't have a problem and it has worked when I followed that advice. I don't want to end up in Bandster Hell so I'm trying to be as good as possible. I am so counting down til Thursday when I can have some refried Beans....yum yum. I noticed some can have baked fish and I didn't know that was considered pureed but I'll ask my Dietician about it. I hope you continue to do well and hang it there. Rumar -
Not that Interested in food
Healthy_life replied to Separ1418's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I get food cravings at times. It's manageable. I keep healthy options for sweet and salty foods on hand. (make sure they fit your plan) Sweet - fruit dipped in sugar free caramel/chocolate syrup. Dannon light n fit yogurt. Skinny girl raspberry vinaigrette on a chicken strawberry salad. Salty- Jerky, veggies dipped in hummus or chicken fajitas. Food may be a chore at first. Real and head hunger will return. Eat real whole foods to hit your protein goals. It will help you feel more satiated. As you progress you will be able to consume more food.(especially sleeves) Eating shakes and bars for meals is not sustainable long term. Keep them on hand for times your on the run and cant get a meal in.

Traveling abroad and diet
GreenTealael replied to angie_is_losing_it's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
In my experience if you haunt the markets you can find staples just like we have domestically. Eggs, meat, veg, fruit, milk, yogurt, cheese, ...etc. You will be able to control your diet environment a little better that way. While dining out, take away will be your friend. But question preparation methods to avoid excess unnecessary cals or possible no go foods like high sugar content sauces. England should not be terribly challenging. Drink tons of water, take tons of pics... Enjoy vacay❤ -
Just curious, what is the order of how you reintroduce foods back....I see SO many different post about this and how different docs are in their post op instructions: Mine are as follows; Week 1 and 2 liquid diet (broth, sf jello, protein shakes, sf Popsicles Weeks 3-6 puréed stage (not even chucky fruit on the bottom Greek yogurt) Weeks 7-6 months SOFT FOODS (it has to very moist and flacky...no steak, NO raw fruits or veggies) Kim

I had my surgery on Friday April 1 Okay, so, my surgeon gave me a book for all the information that I need regarding before, during and after surgery. So I was just reading up on post op diet this morning and there is some conflicting information in here. One part says I can start the full liquid diet after I leave the hospital, another part says to start full liquids on day 5. I would love to start full liquids now as it would be much easier for me to get my Protein, liquid and calories. I'm having a hard time right now. Today I did get down two Sobe Lifewater Zero's. One had half a scoop of Protein powder. I also got in a high protein chicken bullion, but all that adds up to 55 oz fluids, 30 g protein and 135 calories. I am not at all hungry and getting this down is a chore. If I could just switch to my Premier Protien shakes and some yogurt I would be so happy. I'm just not sure.

Intermittent Fasting Questions
mousecat88 replied to mousecat88's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I don't have a schedule by the surgeon. Just breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner. That just happens to be when I eat, and there's enough time between each one. I am pretty much just having 3 or 4 of the 5 right now, and he says that's fine. My personal schedule is 8-9 yogurt, 10-11 small snack, 12-1 lunch, 5 dinner. *shrug* I go to bed at 7pm! lol. How in God's name do you stay up from 4am to 11pm. I would be dead. lmao. I get up at 7 and go to bed at 7 and want to die. -
and let me tell you do NOT make the mistake of eating after a fill....last fill I got, that next morning I was going to eat some yogurt so I could take my meds, well the yogurt had small pieces of peaches in them, it got stuck and I was MISERABLE for about 3 hours....I'll never ever do that again....
