So I am starting my 2 week liquid diet. I am scared I am not going to make it. How did you guys fare? Did you drink Protein when you got hungry or have a set schedule for when you was drinking it? What all did you drink? I do need to buy some Jello and yogurt today when I get off of work. Share with me your experience being on the 2 week liquid diet. Thanks Starting at 491.6 due to my "Last Supper Week" I got to the point of where I no longer wanted to eat.

my surgery was 12/7 and my surgeon's plan also moves right to pureed/soft "stage 3" diet once home too. I am taking it easy and sticking with mostly "full" liquids like Protein drinks and pureed soups like lentil, tomato, split pea, nothing with noodles or rice, mostly "cream of" styles (homemade or even Progresso has a bunch of good ones - my fav right now is creamy chicken enchilada). But tonight I pureed some rotisserie chicken in a small food processor until it was literally the texture of breadcrumbs and then mixed it with some gravy into a paste. Had a large spoonful of the chicken mixture with a large spoonful of mashed butternut squash as well (the two actually tasted really good together) - maybe about 1 oz of each. It was so yummy I can't wait to have it again tomorrow! I am also eating no sugar added popsicles, fudgesicles, and made my own pops today with leftover homemade protein drink/smoothie. Also eating greek yogurt, cottage cheese, homemade decaf iced tea - everything gets some unflavored Musclegen Pro unflavored Protein powder mixed into it. Oh and Miralax, lol.

Craving chips and salsa/avocado
BLERDgirl replied to meganliz0824's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I do a bean bowl. ¼ cup black Beans, salsa, shredded cheese, dice avocado. You can up the Protein by adding dollop of greak yogurt instead of cream cheese. Everything else is allowed on a soft diet and give you protein plus Fiber. As you progress to all foods cucumber and baked cheese chips are good alternative. I even read that some people bake pepperoni slices. -
Time, tiny tulip. I took a spoonful or two of yogurt and that may have helped....

What foods are you eating?
Threetimesacharm replied to JacksdadShane's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I am just over 13 weeks and still eating cottage cheese, yogurt, eggs, fish(white and canned) canned meats. I don't eat beef or pork and if chicken is not moist enough it is really hard to eat, I prefer dark chicken meat. -
Does Your Family’s Kitchen Support Weight Loss?
VSGAnn2014 replied to Alex Brecher's topic in Food and Nutrition
"Boredom eater" and "celebratory eater" describes most of my old bad habits. The scary stuff in my kitchen used to be potato chips, tortilla chips, ice cream, takeout Desserts, deli pimento cheese, cream cheese, bagels, guacamole (because of the tortilla chips that went with it), and leftover pizza. All that stuff is gone now. We do eat pizza, but throw away the leftovers -- or freeze them and then throw them away later. We do still keep Peanut Butter in the house (which calls to me sometime), but it's high up on a shelf behind a cabinet door. I think that what makes a bigger difference than what we don't have in the kitchen now is what we DO have in the kitchen -- healthier, tasty food: Greek yogurt (vanilla and blueberry), tasty seed crackers and GOOD cheeses, apples, almonds, our favorite Breakfast Protein drink (a GNC swiss chocolate version), non-sugar chocolate pudding, fresh berries (when they're in season). When you're hungry, healthy food is so much more satisfying. Slider foods and crap stuff just make me hungrier. Not a good feeling. -
Pre op diet diet tomorrow
robynbyrd replied to MrsSantiago's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i'm in the same boat. surgery dec 30th. liquid diet started yesterday. and only 15 more days of it to go. Ugh! i can totally agree with the loose stools. i have learned to make sure you are on the pot before letting one rip (i messed my undies at work and had to go commando for the afternoon. NOT COOL). the thing i'm going to miss is sitting down at the table for dinner with the family. but i need to do this for my famliy so... i have found Protein shakes are okay. adding greek yogurt makes them slightly better. G2 gatorade had been my buddy too. i freaking hated gatorade but now its not so bad (beats drinking plain Water all the time). all i know is that cheating is NOT an option. we must stick it out. keep chugging away and it will be here before you know it. -
Yeah...I am trying to find ways to increase...adding Greek yogurt to shakes and bought flavourless protein powder...adding to anything I can lol. Any other suggestions?

I didn't get pureed until week 3! I enjoyed chicken salad, tuna salad, scrambled egg, cottage cheese, yogurt, refried Beans with cheese, tilapia, and thicker pureed Soups.

Hello fellow sleevers. I am newly sleeved(12/08/15) and am on puréed stage. I've tolerated cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and tuna with 1tbps. Fat free miracle whip well. I've tried scrambled eggs, turkey, and cod(in the hospital), which went just okay. Chicken with 1 tbsp. Fat free gravy didn't sit well. I felt sooo sick, like a big old rock sitting in my stomach....not gonna try that again for a while! I almost feel like the colder puréeds worked better with my new/still healing tummy. So my question for you that have been through this already is what did you eat on your puréed stage? What worked? What didn't?

Well, I found out that I have a h pylori infection and my glucose was very high. I have never had any glucose issues despite having a strong family history if diabetes. The PAs were debating whether to put me on metformin but chose to recheck my a1c in 3 mos. The PA thought my chest pain could be related to my hiatal hernia repair healing, so I was prescribed levsin. I took about 3 yesterday and I took my first pain free sip of Water this morning! I'm so happy it's helping! Get this, I was prescribed prevpac for the h pylori which consists of 4 huge pills that are taken in the am/pm for 14 days! Umm no! There is no way those are going down yet! I am feeling better and better each day, my incisions barely hurt anymore. I am going to try to get some yogurt down today, baby steps! Thanks for asking! Awesome Cleo brown! I see many people has complications after. I'm glad u haven't experienced much besides the gas. How'd it go on ur follow up?

So how is everyone doing now that the surgery is over? I had mine Dec 1 and sometimes I have to pinch myself to remind myself that I DID IT! It's over! I'm on the OTHER SIDE now! That feels great. i'm doing everything I'm supposed to do and have dropped 22 pounds (including the pre-diet). i'm thrilled with that number. Every day the scale drops. What a fun way to start the day! My scars are healing and not really sore anymore. I do find that I'm more tired than I used to be. I am 61 years old, but have always had plenty of energy to get things done. I run around all the time doing errands and helping family members who need assistance. I have to pace myself. One problem I'm having is planning for "meals" or Snacks when I'm running around. I can't wait until I can eat a Protein bar...those are so mobile. But it's hard to take 2oz of yogurt or 1/2 c of creamed, strained Soup for lunch in the car! Oh well, these weeks will pass quickly. Tonight I tried pureeing cottage cheese because that is in my phase two "full liquids" weeks (week 2 and 3 for me). I added a little milk so it would puree better and ugh! That was disgusting. I'm not looking forward to the puree weeks (weeks 4 and 5). So how is everyone else doing? I'm doing fine getting the protein and Fluid in. I went to a christmas brunch this morning and there was quite a spread and....i hardly gave it a look. Didn't eat a thing, of course. Merry Christmas!

1 week post op! Puree time!
sotiredofdiets replied to amyg80's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
4 days post op. Will not weigh until I return to dr to get my staples out on Tuesday. My pain has been minimal, lots of gas though. Felt week the first couple of days. On clear liquids through Sunday and then 2 weeks of liquids including you yogurt and protein drinks. Can wait until I can actually chew my food!! Wonder how long it takes for ones stomach actually heals up? -
I like the fairlife milk that was previously suggested. Lately I've been buying Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurt in vanilla and adding PB2. The yogurt has 80 calories and 12 grams of Protein. The PB2 has 45 calories and 5 grams of protein. So that gives me a total of 125 calories and 17 grams of protein. I use it either as breakfast or a snack. I really can't eat much in the mornings because my band is too tight so it's either yogurt like this or a Protein shake. You can also buy Nature Valley Protein granola in various different flavors and add that to your yogurt.

Hi all! Newly bypassed here... struggling with protein
psvzum replied to phatfatgirl's topic in Food and Nutrition
Hi Phat I TOTALLY relate to your struggle with Protein powders. I'm only 11 days post op but will share what's helped me. I bought a bunch of samples from Nashua Nutrition. http://www.nashuanutrition.com/store/protein-powders/protein-powder-samples-1-serving.html I'm just learning to refrigerate the shake for at least 20 minutes before drinking it. I'm also using soy milk. So far the three shakes I've had are actually not bad. I've also bought Soups that have 15 grams of protein and they're very drinkable when doctored up with spices. In preparation for my next phase "Soft", I've gotten oatmeal with no sugar and 15 gr protein. If it's disgusting, I'll switch to be favorite irish steel oats and add, SF maple syrup, applesauce and Protein powder. Feedback I've seen on the protein oatmeal is the consistency is pretty bad. Looking to yogurt and cottage cheese -
Bowel movements after sleeve surgery
Emilie.Lancaster replied to amandyr1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm new at this, but when my bowels woke after surgery, it was unholy! It was mass evacuation with pushing and shoving. Then, there was silence. Not pooped since, I've had zero solid food yet, so not surprised. I wonder if you are having a reaction to your protein? Splatty poo over and over doesn't sound right. Have you repopulated your colon with live yogurt cultures? Maybe that could help? -
What to do for christmas while you on the liquid diet?
BLERDgirl replied to MrsSantiago's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@Kindle is right. Taste is subjective. I love Isopure. I use the unflavored powder & the clear drink teas. Hated premier protein, EASI also like Orgain, Biochem vegan. Cvs brand and ProSource NoCarb. I added fresh fruit, almond butter, spinach fresh or frozen, Fage 0% Greek yogurt to my shakes for variety. -
Did someone tell you that you should eat only 3 tablespoons at each meal? If so, that's cray. Early on, your new stomach is swollen (while it's healing) that 3 tablespoons could well be all you could eat. But eventually, your stomach will heal, easing the restriction a bit. By 3 months post-op I was eating half a cup of food at each meal. Today (at nearly 16 months post-op) I can usually eat about a cup at each meal. By a few months post-op I was also eating a couple of Snacks a day -- my go-to snacks were (early on) Greek yogurt or cheese. Months later, as restriction continued to ease I added fruit to the yogurt. Just be careful not turn your high-Protein snacks into nibbling on slider foods, e.g., pretzels, crackers, crap, all day long. Those are not snacks! That's what they call "grazing," and it's the road to perdition.

December 2015 or January 2016 sleevers ?
NE_NevadaGrl replied to neequa25's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 1 day post op. Surgery took place last night. My surgery was easy and straight forward, sleeve took 30 mins from rolling back to OR to when doc came and told my friend I was heading to recovery. I woke up from anethesia very very sick. I vomited a few times. And was shocked by the pain. Just a couple hours later I had figured out the morphene drip and was up and moving. I had many nurses who were really shocked by my willpower. One even said I looked like a visitor, not someone who just had surgery. I was released this morning at 10am, just 16 hours from when I had my surgery. I feel great. Went and got my meds filled and picked up some yogurt and soup. I am glad I had such a great recovery... That's one thing I was worried about. -
December 8th Sleevers......
BonitaF replied to Cutepretty1's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What did you try to eat? I tried some soup that I strained and had four spoonfuls and was done it was heavily diluted with water too.I had puréed chicken...I had puréed turkey, chicken, and cod(which was actually better than it sounds) in the hospital, along with puréed carrots, peaches, applesauce, and Greek yogurt. I think I just tried eating too fast as well as to big a portion and it was too much. I have my tiny spoons from the program and am using those to help gauge my intake(doc wants # of those spoonfuls documented). I am more concerned at this point in getting my fluid intake but just received my protein soup broth from diet direct! Yeah, now I can do double duty!????????oh my......your ????were bigger than your tummy LOL.....I'm on liquids for 2 weeks ????The surgeons instructions for after VSG are liquids only first day and 2nd day for breakfast, and lunch and dinner second day puréed through the next two weeks...after two weeks soft foods and then transition. I did okay in the hospital, I guess I just really want to do whatever I can to meet goals and NOT end up back in. I think we are all feeling that way--I don't want to go through this again! -
1week post, how to deal with food cravings?
NYLux12 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 8 days post-op and can have liquids and Greek yogurt. I am extremely hungry for "real food" almost all the time. Some of this is head hunger, and some of it is real. To add to my issues, I'm sick with bronchitis and have been given prednisone. A side effect of prednisone is increased appetite. Please, I'm begging you, for tips and tricks and anything that will help? -

Myfitnesspal goals and protein/low carb suggestions?
ShariAnn replied to ShariAnn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks. I did buy some Greek yogurts to try, I did get the Fage 0%, it seemed to be the highest rated. I will try that in a smoothie tomorrow and see if that helps.
