How to increase protein intake?
TreeHuggerinAB replied to JessicaMarieee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I pretty much have a strong dislike for all whey protein powders. I find the best way for me to keep my protien (and water) intake up is to mix 3/4 cup non fat greek yogurt with 1 cup skim milk (even more protein) and 1 cup water. I will then add a little bit of mango or blueberries (something with no seeds) for some healthy sweetness, and throw it all in my nutri bullet. Way yummy! 27 grams of protein. -
What are you guys eating?
rnsamantha replied to princesswarrior's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Greek yogurt with berries for breakfast, beef barley soup and a cheese string for lunch, 2 premier protein shakes (1 for dinner, 1 post workout). Unfortunately I also caved and had 2 brownies at work. Made a resolution to recommit to tracking ALL my food (good or bad). Hoping it helps me rethink caving to cravings. I've been getting lax on the carbs ???? -
Any 12/21/15 sleevers: How are you doing?
GibbsGirl replied to mabarbee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was released to soft foods today. Doctor was please with my progress, he also understood I am having to get my protein away from The more milk type shakes. I was able to eat one egg, it was good but I did have a unnaturally full feeling. I tried yogurt this afternoon and it was a no go. I'm thinking milk type products are out for a while. I am worried about my protein and am buying unjury (powder) tomorrow. A bit disappointed but it's a process right. So egg drop soup and water tonight. Whoo hooo!!! -
Help and support needed!
muggzz replied to Jessica _ Stephens's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
am so totally frustrated ! Maybe someone can clarify for me. I am 4 weeks postop, eating soft foods...turkey,puréed Soup yogurt, cottage cheese, Baby Bells, etc. I take in about 450 to 550 calories, 40-60 g of protein and most days drink 36oz water (sometimes a little more) and I have not lost any weight in 3 weeks since my first doctors apt a week after surgery. I cannot believe I went threw all this and feel like such a failure. What should I do ?! -

I was lactose intolerant until 3 months out. But only like straight milk, yogurt, and premier shakes. I can consume them now with no issues. I never had a problem with cheese though.. which was odd. I did drink lactaid during my lactose intolerance stage.

Sleeved on 12/28

I think it's time to mention the noble avocado. Soft, easy to digest, lubes the insides, has good fats, and is considered a super food. Mash with fork and some Greek yogurt. And some nutritional yeast.... Yum. -
At two weeks I was still in my "full liquids" phase, so I was having protein shakes, strained cream soups, and yogurt. My favorite strained cream soups were cream of shrimp and Progresso's Chicken Cheese Enchilada.

I really wanted a new taste this morning so I tried Egg Beaters and cooked them like scrambled eggs. I was able to eat them no problem! I usually can't eat scrambled eggs without ketchup (a habit from when I was a kid) but I was out of ketchup so I was brave and added a tsp of mild organic salsa. Salsa did fine in my tummy too! The egg kept me satisfied longer than the yogurt I have been eating has. -
@@samcl1 If I only ate when i was hungry, i wouldn't be eating much of anything! I'm not hungry--most of the time. I was told to eat six small meals a day, period. I have a hard time gettng them all in because I don't start my day until about 9am. But I try my best. i drink Protein shakes for two of those meals, and small little amounts of yogurt, pureed food, cottage cheese etc for the other meals. Applesauce. Baby food, stages 1 and 2. Good luck!

Mine was soft foods...no starch or sugars...for instance soups,cottage cheese or yogurt and a small piece of fish in broth with spinach....On the day before all clear liquids only I started my laxative 2 days before surgery.I took collace clear pills, Miralax and citrate of magnesia.My system was clean and clear for surgery.

It's great to have such a great forum like this. As I was reading your post it was as if it was reading my own story. I had my surgery on 12/28/15. I feel like I am starving all day. Between sipping on water and protein throughout the day for breakfast I eat 1/2 Greek yogurt thinned with water. For lunch I eat 6oz blended split pea soup, and the same for dinner. Even after eating a whole 6oz I don't feel full. I read others stories and they say they are stuffed after 2oz or just a few bites. I see a lot of people say it's head hunger but it just does not seem like that's the case. Besides the pain and war wounds it doesn't feel like I had the surgery. I don't know why I thought by having surgery it would be different and I wouldn't be able to eat the amounts I am and would feel full and not want to eat like a lot of others I read out there. Very frustrating.

Has anyone found the journey after surgery easy?
Stayc_b_me! replied to WannabeH's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I thought the 2 week pre-op liquid diet was bad after the surgery (had surgery 12/28/15) that was a piece of cake to post-op. It's been difficult for me because I have always been an emotional eater and highly addicted to food. I don't know why I thought after my surgery my addiction and behaviors would be different. I feel like I am starving all day. Between sipping on water and protein throughout the day for breakfast I eat 1/2 Greek yogurt thinned with water. For lunch I eat 6oz blended split pea soup, and the same for dinner. Even after eating a whole 6oz I don't feel full. I read others stories and they say they are stuffed after a few bites. Besides the pain and war wounds it doesn't feel like I had the surgery and I am more emotional and irritable then ever. Also frustrated because I was Diabetic before surgery taking 2000mg Metformin, Glipizide, Byetta and Large units of insulin twice a day. Here almost a week later my blood sugars have been staying mid to high 200's without meds and I am scared my Diabetes will not be better or in remission. I hope I don't end up regretting this surgery...sigh -
I can't be the only one that can't stomach protein!
Kelly0559 replied to sarahbethemails's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Dannon lot and fit Greek nonfat yogurt is awesome! And it has 12 grams of protein per serving. It comes in a ton of flavors too. -
High protein snacks! Cottage cheese, ham and cheese rolls, a few bites of a quest protein bar, It am almost three months post op and my monthly cravings are awful I eat bad each time. Next month I am going to make a fruit and yogurt smoothie and see if that helps my sweet tooth because cookies and chocolate will kill me in the long run.

I totally understand you... I normally eat as a healthy snack some small chopped fruit, seeds, greek yogurt, half a cup of soup or dried fruit:) Sometimes I even make myself some cooked ham rolls with low fat cheese..!

November 2015 Sleevers?
Thucydides replied to goddess977's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks, @@bsilva! I definitely feel much better. I have a good distance left to go, but everything is already so much easier. Being 500+ lbs involves a lot of planning! It isn't much fun worry about things like can I park close enough to where I need to go?, how early do I have to leave for a meeting so as to not arrive sweaty and out of breath? I count Protein, carbs, fat, and calories using an iPhone app (mynetdiary). I am sufficiently nerdy that I like generating the charts of the nutrients that I take in and the pounds that I lose. I initially had trouble getting enough protein and staying within the calorie bounds. That is the place where using shakes as a supplement has been helpful for me. I start the day with one and then follow with a fat-free Greek yogurt a little bit later. That gets me to 42 g of protein pretty early in the day. From there, I try to eat something that gets me 20 g of protein for each of lunch and dinner. A second shake or a high-protein snack gets me close to 100 g protein goal. Honestly, I don't make it every day, but I never fall below 80 g of protein. -
Day 7 post op
ChefSaraKay replied to Trooper Wifey's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery was on 12/28 and today I ate... 4oz light and fit greek yogurt 8 oz Imagine Organic fat free creamy red potato soup small can of low sodium V8 juice 2oz gerber apple blueberry puree (baby food) 1 Premier Protein shake 4oz beef broth around 48oz of Water sipped here and there all for around 450 calories according to Myfitnesspal I find it a little hard to get all of the recommended water in when we have to wait so long before and after meals for drink. But I'm doing the best I can. I used to drink at least a gallon of water a day pre-op( I'm a chef an the hot kitchen makes you THIRSTY!) and 48oz makes me feel like my insides are floating. All I can think about is how I am so ready for the next stage of the diet! My Dr had me on full liquids 2 weeks prior to surgery too so tomorrow starts week 4 of only liquids. I just want to eat some substance and crunch.... AHHHHHHH!!! Anyone else feel like me? I feel like Im gonna go insane. Plus I go back to work later this week and there will be so many foods I will need to taste as I cook to make sure they are tasty enough for the guest. Guess I'll have to taste and spit lol. -
November 2015 Sleevers?
Thucydides replied to goddess977's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on November 10th and, between my four-week pre-op diet and post-surgery weight loss, I am down 102 lbs. I have been fortunate in that I have not really had any problems getting enough protein or water in each day. Based upon my nutritionist's recommendations and feedback on this forum, I aim for about 100 g of protein per day. Since I am only supposed to eat somewhere between 600-700 calories per day, that means that just about everything that I eat has to be pretty high in protein. My go-to foods are Greek yogurt, grilled chicken breast, grilled shrimp & scallops, turkey, with a couple of protein shakes per day thrown in. So far, so good. -
drinking smoothies 3 1/2 weeks post-op
Kindle replied to mizzvickie72088's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I make smoothies all the time. But they are primarily protein.....protein powder, Plain Greek yogurt and milk. Torani syrup for flavor. Maybe a little pureed banana or berries or peaches, etc. But each one always has at least 20-40g protein. -
Thanks for the feedback! I'm on clear broth, protein shakes, puréed fruit or plain yogurt only. One week 2 of 3. I did put some pb2 in my yogurt and it helped. Of course the yogurt gives me the runs (lol sorry tmi!). 1 more week I can do this!!

Any 12/8/15 Sleeves out there
mizzvickie72088 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery 12/8/15, and surprisingly doing really good. My incision where the stomach was token out of still give me pain but for the most part I'm doing really good. I just started going to the gym this Friday and just walking on the tread meal until the weight instructor tells me different. I'm not sure if I lost anymore wait since my last appointment with my doctor so I'm hoping that when I get on the scale it's not the same has 3 weeks ago or more. food Wise someday a I'm really hungry and somedays I'm not. I can fully eat all my soft food, chicken, fish, fat free yogurt, cheese, tuna, oatmeal, etc... with no problems and that makes me feel so weird cause I hear a lot of people that was almost 4 weeks post-op still stuck on Soups. I did something really bad today and I had a smoothie that had a lot of sugar in it and I know that it's really really bad but it was so good and I had a lot so now I'm really full and kinda uncomfortable. I'm still eating way to fast and not chewing enough and when I eat it I can feel in traveling to my stomach. I really need to wrap my head around my new sleeve and stomach. I got a baby spoon and fork to help me out. tell me what going on with my fellow 3-4 weeks post-op sleeve? -
Beni. You are the best. Your story is my story. I didn't have any cake or sweets. I had cheese. I weighed 179 - the highest I've weighed in a long time. Tomorrow I see my trainer at 9 am. I' haven't seen him in a while. So that is a good thing. I love herbal tea, too. I use liquid stevia. It is my favorite thing of the day. I become more and more happy with my tea. Breakfast has been set for me for a long time. I start each day with lemon water. Then I have yogurt with orange pieces and blue berries. I put cinnamon and nutmeg on them. Sometimes I have a few prunes. It would be so easy to get back to 290. Such a frightening thought. Happy New Year.

Peanut Butter
southernbelle256 replied to amandasue's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I felt sick after PB for nearly a month. If you can do yogurt you could probably do PB. Eat it super slowly. At 2 weeks I was released for soft foods. What does your plan say? -
I feel like I am hungry and weak. Would love to eat just a teaspoon of Peanut Butter. Good idea or no? I am 2 weeks post op. I was going to just kind of suck on it. I can't eat yogurt anymore...I'm am sensitive to lactose and it's killing me. The last pre made Protein shake I had I burst out in an allergic rash all over......I need something to "hold me" and "sustain me". Running after a toddler and infant and going back to work tomorrow. Good idea or no?
