Dessert Substitute?
Inner Surfer Girl replied to acm22_'s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Depending on where you are in your program there are lots of options. Off the top of my head: protein pudding, protein shakes, protein bars, fresh fruit/berries, protein hot chocolate, Greek yogurt, etc. -

New here, but 6 months out
monalyssa33 replied to monalyssa33's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My daily eating is varied. I eat a lot of Greek yogurt, peanut butter, cheese, frozen meals (which I'm usually never able to finish and what is left is almost always is the pasta or rice portion), I make mini pizzas with high fiber flatbreads that I get from Aldi. I also make these Fiber One haystack cookies that I have every night because they help keep me regular. They are just basically a bag of chocolate chips melted with a scoop of peanut butter, then I add a scoop of protein powder and stir in a packet of Fiber One cereal. I put it on a plate and freeze it. They are actually surprisingly good and I look forward to them. -

Noworneverthin replied to copper's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I'm basically still on that diet, even though I am 12 days out and allowed mushies. I can only tolerate yogurt, Popsicles, and a little cottage cheese. I pretty much just stick to the shakes and powerade zero Sent from my LGMS550 using BariatricPal mobile app -
What do you eat for breakfast???
Husky2Healthy replied to Kristy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have had the same problem. But this week, I have been having Thomas Whole Wheat Thin Bagels (110 Calories, 24g carbs, 6g protien) sometimes I only have half of a bagel. Then I put Peanut Butter on top or cottage cheese with a bit of salsa or just melted cheese. This is pretty much all the 'carbs' I eat for the day, but I could not stomach a sweet shake or yogurt one more day. Also 'The World According to Eggface' has some great recipes for eggs in tiny muffin pans if it is a time issue or just for a change. I have also done a hard boiled egg slices on a thick tomato slice. Hope this helps, Steven -
I'm almost 5 months post-op, so this will look like a lot of volume to you: Breakfast is a cup of coffee with a scoop of Protein powder, for 20g +/-. Sometimes I also have a greek yogurt, but I'm not a breakfast lover and the protein in my coffee keeps me going until later in the day. A single-serve greek yogurt is 15g protein and if I don't have it for breakfast, I'll have it at lunch time. Mid-morning, I'll have a cheese stick (8g) or a couple of apple wedges with a tablespoon of Peanut Butter (4g). Mid-afternoon, an ounce of almonds (6g) or 1/2 cup cottage cheese with pureed no sugar added preserves (15g) dinner is usually two ounces of some kind of protein, like salmon (15g) and a couple of ounces of a vegetable. Before bed, if I need more protein for the day, I'll eat more almonds, or another cheese stick. Other things I eat regularly are Beans. 1/2 cup of refried beans with a T of grated cheese (6-7g) Lentils, 1/2 cup with sauteed onions (8-9g)

Full liquid suggestions?
PorkChopExpress replied to mollydeez's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
There are other options for protein. Get some of the flavorless powder like Genepro and mix it with other liquid stuff you're eating, like yogurt or even Crystal Light. It works well and gives you a nice change from those shakes. I agree, after four weeks of almost nothing but shakes, I was ready to be done with them. -
2nd phase Pureed food ideas
SandyToes143 replied to maccc74's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I used a vitamix and puréed a can of tomatoes with a slice of seasoned tri-tip and a little broth to thin it out and added a little seasoning. You could also add some plain Greek yogurt for some extra nutrition. -
unflavored protein powder recommendations?
Miss Topaz posted a topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Hey all - less than a month out from surgery and looking to prep. Reviewing the NUT info, they recommend mixing unflavored protein powder in things like applesauce or yogurt during the pureed stage. Tells me to look for powders with at least 15g protein and less than 3 g sugar. Had been looking at syntrax, but that's only 10g protein. Any recommendations? I've heard of genepro and isopure. Haven't found a local GNC yet (moved a year ago and haven't needed one til now) but have been browsing amazon. Thanks! -
3+ weeks out and need food ideas
vlemus replied to lisa s-p's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was also banded on the 29th. I am on soft foods but have had birthdays and just a bunch of stuff going on and had to find places to eat out. I go to jack in the box and get the grilled chicken strips without the fries and with tea. They are moist and i looked up the calories and they are a good choice for fast food. also kfc grilled no skin. But and i know it was a stupid thing to try but i tried some of my sons crunchy taco from taco bell cause he only eats the meat part and leaves the lettuce and cheese. I chewed it like 50 times and was fine. I cook my fruits except strawberries i use a hand blender and mush them and use it over yogurt and cottage cheese. Ive had asparagas (thats prob. spelled wrong) with no problems. I kind of eat what ever i want but just small portions and chew it until its liquid. Ive lost 12 pounds so far. and 2% of my body fat. I also was like a 45 something bmi and now im a 43 something. I eat alot of salmon. Walmart sells frozen packages that have four pieces for $4.96. they are about 3oz. after they are cooked. use some olive oil, lemon pepper, season salt and garlic powder. Its better than a resteraunt and cooks in about 5 min. If anyone has any more Protein ideas I need help with that. and veggies. And where do you guys find thos cool bmi and weight los trackers at the bottom of your messages. A good places to go is www.myfitnesspal.com it tracks all your food and its free it has every food you can think of and fast foods too. It helps you find good choices and realize why we are so fat becase a medium fry has like 700 calories. check it out it helps and its free. -
If you guys are cheating or damaging your band than what am I doing? My doctor said all liquids (broth, Water, juice) for the first 4 days and then and I quote from my handout liquid diet for first 2 weeks: "same as above, 'blenderized Soup, skim milk, suger free Jello, popsicles, mashed potatoes, light yogurt, suger-free pudding, cottage cheese, oatmeal, grits, cream of wheat, no sugar added apple sauce.' Protein supplements for 3 of 6 meals." Soft diet for weeks 3-6: "soft fruit, cooked veggies except corn, fish, seafood, soft Pasta (well chewed), eggs, toast or crackers.' Protein supplements for 2 of 6 meals." I've has most of the foods on the "liquid diet" list and I feel fine but am I damaging myself? I guess I have to trust the doctor.

Hi, Is anyone on the liquid protein preop diet ?
aliciac replied to lisemaria's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have bought Campbell's bean with bacon soup and cream of potato soup. I blend it in the blender and then heat it up in a coffee cup to drink. It is much more satisfying than the other types of boxed creamed soups. I also have a protein shake in the morning. I put a 90 calorie yoplait yogurt, and 1 cup of non fat milk, 1 scoop of protein powder, and some frozen fruit. My nutritionist said that was o.k. to have. In the evenings I have 1 protein drink from a container (premier) and some more soup. I'm hungry all the time, I'm hoping it will start to get better soon. -
I'm 9 mths out. I am also vegetarian so my meals are different from most people. I eat Beans, quinoa, seitan, FAGE 0% greek yogurt, and eggs for my Protein. I typically have protien shake that I make with greek yogurt, Protein powder and whatever I have on hand for breakfast. That can be fruit, almond butter, leftover coffee that I freeze into ice cubes, spinach or cacao powder to name just a few. I also eat small amounts for fresh veg, particularly dark green veg since they are the most protein rich. Favorites are broccoli, kale, and spinach. My dinners are are often light; low sodium vegetable broth, vegetable soup or a small salad with egg,a bit of shredded cheese and black beans. I don't eat foods with food dyes or artificial sweeteners since I am allergic to nearly all of them. That means my coffee is usually sweetened with raw honey or sugar. I limit the amount of white, processed carbs and rarely eat breads or crackers. Overall I am mostly eating what I ate pre-op but in much smaller portions. I keep my protein at 70 +. I typically eat Breakfast, lunch, snack & dinner. In between I try to focus on drinking plenty of Water.

I am about three months out now and have gone thru different phases of likes and dislikes with foods. Right now I have coffee and a protein shake with a half of bananna in it for breakfast, usually chicken salad, egg salad, ham salad or seafood salad for lunch w/ a tomato and dinner is usually a Greek yogurt with granola and almonds. I find my cut off time for dinner is about 5pm or else I'm no longer hungry, not sure why but whatever. Snacks are usually cheese, nuts or protein bars. Good topic, I like reading about what others are eatting so not to get bored with my choices.

To Those Who Have Started The Mushy Stage
speck posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
How much can you eat at one feeding? I ate 1/2 cup of yogurt yesterday and that was good. But today I ate about a cup of egg drop Soup.(strained) Then I was still a little hungry but just held off. -
I was 48 hours after discharge ( and I slept overnight so really almost 4 days) clear liquids only and by the last 12 hours I was getting hungry. I thought the clear liquids only was so hard. Then a 2 week liquid diet. Which includes up to 4 Protein shakes a day, pureed soups or soups that start off smooth, and no sugar added yogurt, sf non fat pudding and sf popsicles. Plus increase clear liquids to 64 oz a day. That will take me to 18 days post op. Then I see my surgeon and he will give me the ok for mushies. Every dr is so different. But in all the packets I received, it says this is a healing process do not rush it.

Newley banded.
LadyLeigh2012 replied to talameovee's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told the same thing. I was put on a liquid diet as part of my pre-op protocol. The day before and the day of surgery I was on clear … so that would be about 48 hours. Liquid diet for first 2 week of post-op … this includes anything that can fit through a straw but is not carbonated. On Monday I will have my 2 week post-op visit and hope for the green light to start mushies! I, too, was told that pasta and rice are not included with this stage and to stick to things like cottage cheese, yogurt, applesauce, mashed turnips/potatoes/carrots, pudding, refried beans with melted cheese, guacamole, etc... This mushie stage will last from week 3 - 5 … as of week 6 I can add more in. It's a lot to remember and adjust to so I made myself a cool menu map that plots out each week and phase. I gave a copy to my family, hung one on the fridge at home, and put another copy in my work bag. -
Howdy fellow bandsters. So, I'm three weeks post-op and moved to mashed/pureed foods about three days ago. I haven't been very adventurist, just one soft scrambled egg and a little avocado for breakfast, some mashed potatos for lunch and a yogurt for a snack. Last night, I had some hummus and a slice of tomato for dinner and my stomach hurt so badly I almost cried. Today, I had the exact same menu but no dinner yet and my stomach is killing me. I can't tell what it is - I feel fine all day until the evenings. Is it sharp hunger pangs? Is it something I'm eating? I don't have a fill yet so its not a restriction issue.I suppose I should add I've been consuming a lot of benefiber because I'm not having proper bowel movements. Its been 18 days and I can't seem to go. Maybe the additional fiber is the problem? I would welcome any thoughts. Thanks!!! :thumbup:

I usually snack on a cheese stick, chips sometimes until dinner is ready. Most of the time I just wait because I really want what I'm going to cook. 1/2 a cup of yogurt is great also.

I live in Australia and we dont have all those high Protein recommendations here, nor are we given anything like the strict rules to follow that a lot of American patients seem to be. I tend to eat 3 times a day with an afternoon snack. I might eat Cereal with some fruit and yogurt from Breakfast, a ham and salad roll or sushi or cheese and crackers or Soup or even a bowl of baked Beans for lunch, some yogurt or maybe a small treat in the afternoon (like a bikkie or two) and then a normal family dinner, anything from spaghetti bolognaise to meat and 3 veg to more exotic curries and the like. Totally normal, everyday food. But I eat about half as much as I used to, probably get through a cup of food at a time. For instance, if I do eat a roll for lunch, I usually cant finish the entire thing.

5 month check in..should I be disappointed?
Pnw_Red replied to perth bridetobe's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
First of all, I'm glad you're feeling restriction now! But as far as your meal plan goes, where is your Protein? I'm not sure what your doc's guidelines are, but I don't see any protein in that other than a VERY small amount in the yogurt. My doc said to eat 3-4 oz solid protein plus 1/2 cup veggies at each meal. I'm supposed to target 60 grams protein. Can you eat chicken, fish, beef, shrimp, Beans, tofu? Are you vegetarian? If so, you need to get some other protein sources in there! It sounds like you have plenty of restriction if that's all you can eat in a day. I think if you try to eat more solid foods you'll find that you have plenty of restriction. Yes, yogurt and bananas and even avocado can be classic slider foods--they mush down to nothing. Even crunchy cracker type foods mush down to nothing. You need some solid foods to a) get in your nutrients and make use of your restriction to get some lasting satisfaction. Personally, I'd stay away from the avocado while you're in active weight loss mode. Yes, the fats are "good" fats, but if you're actively trying to lose and aren't getting in your protein, you need to save that pouch space for more protein-rich, nutrient dense foods, not high fat foods. I hope you find this restriction gives you the kind of progress you're looking for. -
I had outrageous hunger for at least two weeks post-op. Very frustrating. Whether it was head hunger or actual hunger didn't really matter; they felt identical. My fear of hurting myself by "giving in" to the hunger is what got me through it. I spent too much money on my pouch to mess it up! I am now allowed to eat solid/regular foods. The most surprising thing is that I don't crave a single thing. All the stuff I loved 6 weeks ago doesn't seem appealing at all.[/quote I guess I am just surprised that it's so easy to drink the fluids with no problems. I was expecting to struggle.to get in the liquid and instead I feel like I can do all the liquid and eat as well. I am glad I'm getting fluids and can get the Protein shakes in, just wish I wasn't hungry! I am so looking forward to cottage cheese and yogurts!

Oh yeah, its on! I was up at 5 am and working out at the gym by 5:20 am this morning. Now, let me tell you, I was sooooo tired and didn't want to get up, after all I was at the gym until after 10:00 pm last night. But I knew that I would not be able to go tonight - so I forced myself up. I'm glad I did it! First of all, I had a great workout last night, it lasted 2 hours, I did 60 min on elliptical and 60 min with weights, working my lower body. This morning was pure cardio - did 45 min on the elliptical. Tomorrow, I'm planning on another 2 hours at the gym, planning on doing 60 min of cardio and 60 min of weights (working the upper body) Today's menu: 8:00 am - coffee w/cream 2 boiled eggs & 2 slices of thin bacon (290 cal) 11:00 - protein shake made with skim milk (200 cal) 2:00 - Tuna & broccoli (180 cal) 4:30 - yogurt, banana (160 cal) 6:00 - carrots & hummus (100 cal) 9:00 - Weight watchers snack - (140 cal) As you can see, I'm eating quite often, just small meals. Trying to blast my matabolism by eating every 2 to 3 hours. I also retook my measurements last night, and I did not weigh this morning. I put the scales up. I am avoiding the scales until 12/14/09. A two week progress check. I will re-measure and weigh at that time to see how I'm doing. Okay, I'm off to work..............
