I'm on any liquids--I just had creme of chicken soup-just strain out the bits of chicken--pudding, yogurt,jello,juice etc. for 1 week. the juice i mixed half/half water--and just sip on it. the about 4-oz bowl of Soup takes about 15 minutes--same with the pudding cup/jello/yogurt. This week vanilla yogurt--because others have "stuff" in them. The only gas med I've take in the gasx--and not even as much of that as I thought.--the ice/heat (and to be crude-releasing it) helps the most for me. Mary

PRE OP Weight loss Mind Games
Jazzy1125 replied to Newyearnewme2019's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
True.. I have started to drink a 16 ounce water on the way to work.. before my coffee and breakfast. It has really helped get my liquids in earlier and feel full. Sometimes that water is a protein water.. and then I have protein shake in my coffee.. all before I attempt to eat that egg, or 2oz of yogurt or cottage cheese LOL I cannot wait till next week I can add in pancakes.. low carb ones, with protein powder added.. silver dollar size is what I will be able to handle I am sure.. -
What do you eat on the 3rd week after surgery ?
TiredOfMyself replied to amber.bgoya's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm still on full liquids. Cottage cheese, cream soups, applesauce, I am so tired of it all. I hate yogurt and Protein shakes so I don't do them. -
Help! Experiencing terrible cramps
Sosewsue61 replied to ToriL's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Don't eat that, it's just filler food and not very nutritious - concentrate on your protein goals and liquid goals. You are better off with ricotta bake, Greek yogurts or soups with protein at this food stage - unless you have a milk allergy or something. Cream of wheat/rice are just processed carbs - no value. If you feel you need a carb try a baked sweet potato. -
Feeling Hungry Any Ideas To Help
DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! replied to omijujumari's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Protein, like eggs, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, chicken or tuna salad with fat free mayo. As a general rule protein will help keep you full longer. -
What to eat
Inner Surfer Girl replied to saphfyre14's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Definitely talk to your NUT. You should get a list for each post-op phase. Mine were: Week one - Clear liquids (with a couple of exceptions) Week two - full liquids Week three - soft foods Week four - soft mechanical Etc. Initially, for clear liquids I was allowed: Premier Protein (exception to clear), ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates, ProtiDiet creamy chicken and tomato basil Soups (exception to clear), bone broth, Isopure clear, decaf tea, Herb tea, plain Water, water with crystal light and Mio drops, sugar-free Jello, sugar-free Popsicles Full liquids were all of the above, plus: other Protein shakes, pudding, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, v8, no sugar added apple sauce Soft foods: all of the above plus: refried Beans, tuna, soft cheese, deli turkey, soft cooked vegetables like green beans, etc. Soft mechanical: soft foods that are a bit chewier (I don't remember the list). I found it helpful for several months to keep out my approved list and consult it frequently. I didn't put anything new in my mouth without checking the list for a while until I was comfortable knowing what was allowed. You really need to follow your program because it does vary from program to program. The priorities are Fluid (at least 64 oz) and protein (my target is 100 grams). Tracking is critical (I use MyFitnessPal) to make sure I am reaching my targets. Fluids and protein are critical for healing and weight loss. The texture is critical for healing and to avoid complications. -
Also try yogurt, cottage cheese, pureed soups, any cooked and mashed beans, apple sauce. I don't think you should try lettuce yet. Just eat very slowly and you will do fine. Joan

Staying steadfast thru struggle
BLERDgirl replied to dhrguru's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I was thinking a tablespoon of pumpkin puree (no sugar added), vanilla protein powder plus pumpkin spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, etc... I make my own), with a bit of greek yogurt and enough water to blend might make a pretty clean, high protein pumpkin spice shake. -
I don't cook. Very very rarely I will get in the kitchen. I've never really liked it and it's a waste of time and food for me. You can purchase food for every single phase, post surgery. Clear soups like chicken broth, chicken noodle (just drain out the chicken and the noodles, the broth is delish), unjury Chicken Soup is pretty good. I bought one of those cup warmer things to keep it warm and near me. I couldn't drink it all before it got cold. For the first 6 to 8 weeks, you won't be eating a lot. I went to Kroger and got broccoli cheese soup, chili, chicken tortilla soup. Just stick them in the blender or strain the solids out ( just no tomato soup, it's too acidic. Well, my stomach doesn't like it anyway). You can get pre boiled eggs.. mash them up with some mayo and mustard, a little pickle juice, salt and pepper-- egg salad. Yummy, soft and about 5 grams of Protein. Yogurt, cottage cheese, refried Beans with cheese, mashed potatoes (at this point in your recovery, mashed potatoes won't make a huge difference. it'll be soft warm and filling). I like ham and bean soup, sent through the blender as well. And don't forget your liquids! You can make suntea, sweetened with splenda or another alternative, or drink it plain. Water, juice (I drank white grape juice), diet snapple. There's also Isopure. Some people love the stuff. I wasn't too fond of it but there's, 40 grams of protein per bottle! Check it out at your local GNC. I had to mask the flavor with some fruit juice. Further along you will find that you can get a lot of things lowcarb. Just ask for no bun or a lettuce wrap-- Wendy's will serve their chicken/burgers on a bed of lettuce with a knife and a fork. Hardees/Carl's Jr sells all of their burgers Lowcarb-wrapped in lettuce leaves. Jimmy Johns has the Unwich which is any of their sandwiches wrapped in lettuce instead of bread, or chopped on a bed of lettuce like a salad. Same with subway. And if they don't serve it that way, you can make it that way. It never hurts to ask. On the weekends, like Friday night I go through the drive thru at KFC and get a 4 piece in their grilled recipe. I take the skin off because I don't eat skin and at home I pair it with bagged salad or sometimes I can get myself to steam some vegetables to go with it. It doesn't take much to fll me up at all. ALSO Atkins has really great frozen lowcarb meals. The chicken broccoli alfredo is excellent.

How do you keep track of calories/ grams you eat?
mylighthouse replied to sybilvane7's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I measure or weigh all foods. I measure my veggies in a measuring cup.... I usually can't eat more than 1/4 cup of veggies with my meat at lunch and dinner. I usually have chicken, and right now the amount I eat is 4 ounces. I always weight my chicken or fish when I eat it, with a food scale. When I eat yogurt or cottage cheese, I measure it in a measuring cup. Like Rebecca66 said above, myfitnesspal is a great tool, but it won't really do any good unless you are weighing and measuring the amounts of food that you eat. All you need is a small food scale, which you can get at Walmart, Target, etc., and a measuring cup. -
I'm still on puree and I'm struggling to get protein also. I only had nausea with yogurt and I just haven't eaten it again. I tried to sneak it in other foods and I didn't feel as bad. It's hard to find good foods. I have a ton of half eaten things in my fridge that I'm slowly circling back too
-
It doesn’t specify. It says I can have creamy soups, cheeses, milks, yogurt, pudding.

Now I know there's a "What to bring to the hospital list" but what about for the surgery over all? I am a list fanatic, but I think this could be AMAZINGLY helpful. To start it off, I'd imagine things like -scale -food scale -Measuring cups/spoons (if you're like me with #s rubbed off or missing a few!) -Personal blender/processor eg Magic Bullet -A good shaker (FYI smart shake is AMAZING. Cheap, and has a carabiner, 4x pill container, and a powder holder. Can be used without extra containers or with and is no bigger than a regular shaker or compartments can be used for jewelry/fruit/yogurt/etc. Dishwasher safe/Microwave safe + BPA free! AND 10$ for the 20oz!!) What else??

We tend to swallow a lot more air when using a straw. This explains it well, but do follow your doctor's guidelines: https://www.bariatriceating.com/2016/06/159477/ There is also this:https://www.ucsfhealth.org/education/recovering_from_bariatric_surgery/ Flatulence Everyone has gas in their digestive tract. Bariatric patients have a shortened bowel, which can cause gas to be more odorous and expelled more forcefully. Gas comes from two main sources: swallowed air and normal breakdown of certain foods by harmless bacteria that are naturally present in the large intestines. Foods high in carbohydrates cause gas; those high in fat and protein cause very little. The foods that are known to cause more gas are beans, vegetables, some fruits, soft drinks, whole grains, wheat, bran, cow's milk and cow's milk products, foods containing sorbitol and dietetic products. To help prevent flatulence: Eat your meals more slowly, chewing food thoroughly. Lactose intolerance is generally the culprit of gas. Discontinue eating all cow's milk products. Yogurt is OK. Avoid chewing gum and hard candy. Avoid drinking with a straw. Eliminate carbonated beverages. Remedies for flatulence include Lactobacillus acidophilus (a probiotic or "good bacteria" that aids digestion), natural chlorophyll and simethicone.

4 months out and sleeve seems tighter
Frza replied to newgrandmother's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yogurt & cottage cheese are good examples of 'soft' protein. A piece of chicken is a good example of 'dense' protein. -
If you don't like Protein powders this is a good and easy way to get some protein in. You could also add Protein powder to this as well. Enjoy. 2 cups frozen strawberries, 2 tsp Peanut Butter, 1 frozen banana, 4 oz Greek yogurt, and ice. Blend away!

I just can not eat yogurt. I have tried various flavors and brands... Its def a texture thing with me. Can't stand sour cream or cottage cheese either. Anyone have any good alternatives???

Water hurts to drink
sabrinaineastco replied to sabrinaineastco's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
What do you mean half? I'm struggling to get 64 oz of water ea day. Finally able to handle all temperatures but small sips is all I can manage and only of flavored drinks. 2 oz every 15 mins is VERY difficult. I can't do anything else. I have to eat every three hours between 7 and 7. I have to stop drinking 20 minutes before and can't drink an hour after and it takes me a good 20-30 mins to eat. I usually take one small nap since I'm only 6 days post-op, and I've been going to bed by 9. Last night I had my first battle with being sick. Fortunately I didn't throw up, but I over-did my day. Went shopping with a girl-friend then remembered I had to take my Mom to wal-mart. A 7 hour outing. I had Soup from a local deli that was sweet enough to strain it and measure it. A McDonald's snack size yogurt- sans the fruit or granola because I didn't pack a lunch. My besto was proud of me for finding options while out, but my body hated me last night. All day I was sipping propel but I went to bed with just 40 oz yesterday. I want to go back to work week after next - I'm hoping this part is better or I'm going to have to figure out a hands free method of drinking lol. ~Sabrina -
Water hurts to drink
sabrinaineastco replied to sabrinaineastco's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Post-op day four I was allowed cream of wheat, yogurt, and creamy Soups that are strained 1/2 cup every 3 hours. I was told not to do Protein drinks til day 7 - I'm looking forward to tomorrow I like Protein Drinks - they fill me up and I feel like I'm eating a lot of foods high in carbs right now. The protein will increase my energy. ~Sabrina -
I all. I'm having major difficulties having a BM. I can't take MOM (violently ill) I do take colase 3 times a day. When I don't "go" for two + days, I get backed up and it causes a lot of pain on my left side. I spoke to my surgeon's PA and she says my symptoms are constipation and I have an appt next Tuesday. I just don't know what to do until then. I'm on soft foods. I get in about 5-6 cups of water plus 2 cups protein shake (premier). I was putting banana in my shake but stopped Monday. All in all, the foods I eat (not in one day) are tuna, hard boiled egg white, chicken, mashed potato or sweet potato, canned green beans, SF jello, SF Popsicles, NF vanilla Greek yogurt, refried beans (stopped Monday). Any ideas of a soft food that will help me go?
-
chicken salad, tuna salad, and fat-free cottage cheese were my main ones. Dannon Light and Fit Greek yogurt. Refried Beans with cheese.

4 weeks out - what are you eating?
AlysonRR replied to abutterfly's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
If you're past the healing stage, I'd skip the Soup and move on to solid foods. My typical day looks like this: Breakfast: scrambled eggs or small eggbeaters omelet with a little cheese and vegies or Kashi (protein fortified) oatmeal Lunch: deli meat, lettuce or spinach, grated carrots, a little lite mayo, and maybe a little cheese on a sandwich made of Mountain bread (a flatbread, thinner than a tortilla, that doesn't cause me problems) Dinner: salmon or other meat with cooked vegetables or Kashi Golean mixed with greek (high protein) yogurt and a little honey Snack if necessary: yogurt or an ounce of cheese or a piece of deli meat I figure it's good practice to mostly eat the solid Protein that will help me stay full when I reach ideal restriction, so I stay away from soup and Protein drinks and try to make more solid choices. You can make a small pizza using mini pita bread or a small tortilla as a crust, if that's what you want to eat :-) Pita, sauce, sauteed vegies, sausage or pepperoni (I use the vegetarian versions), an ounce of mozzarella. Yum :-) Maybe instead of thinking about a cup, think about 8 ounces? My nutritionist's suggestion was to try to stay within 4-6 oz per meal, with half of that made up of protein and the rest vegies and complex carbohydrates. Hope that helps - you've made great progress so far - congrats, and keep up the good work :-) -
I made lots of eggs, chicken in a can, oatmeal, yogurt, cottage cheese, tuna, soup. I also made fish and used the Atkins bake mix to make low carb no sugar pancakes with sugar free syrup... I would search online for recipes

This is my first post y'all! I just got back from having my sleeve done in Mexico with Dr. Ortiz and Alighterme (I definitely recommend them!). I am 5 days post op and I am eating like a snail. I had a bad reaction to the anesthesia and was vomiting my whole first night and am so paranoid about leaks even though the leak tests were clear. Other than some acid reflux, gas, and mild soreness, I feel great! I had some general questions and everyone on here is so amazingly kind and encouraging. It's strange to go from researching on this forum to actually commenting as a sleever. I think it's all still sinking in! -did anyone else have a lot of acid reflux the first couple of weeks? I'm trying to figure out if it happens when I'm "hungry" since I don't really feel hungry or if its because something I drank is coming back up. My doctor told me I could have Protein shakes, broth, liquids, yogurt, and Jello. I've been taking it slow but still dealing with the gas and acid. -when does the gassiness go away?! -how likely are you to pop a stitch from eating too much? Can it be caused by the gas and bloating? Any answers to any of the questions is so appreciated! Good luck to everyone on their journeys!
