Yogurt, Milk - Dr against both for several months
BLERDgirl replied to HopeandAgony's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Did he explain why? I rarely use milk these days but used to drink almond milk. I stopped because it's too much carbs and fat for the protein payoff. I still use plain greek yogurt regularly though and my NUT has never had an issue with it. I'd love tot hear his reasoning why he doesn't recommend it. -
Not sure where I got this from but wanted to get some opinions on these Protein supplements? Also, is their a max of protein that you body can intake at one time? I was thinking about mixing this in with some Greek yogurt. Thanks in advance!

Yogurt, Milk - Dr against both for several months
HopeandAgony posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Through out the last 8 months I've been reading reading reading. Not just this site but others. My surgery is in 2 weeks and and my Surgeons method of diet after seems much different than what I've read a lot of on here. I am totally going to follow his guidelines because he is my surgeon and was recommended by my Primary Dr. He also works out of a Bariatric Center of Excellence, and I know several people who have gone there with MUCH success. However, he is totally against any yogurt until 4 months post op, and totally against any form of milk (regular, skim, soy, almond, fairfield, etc...) until you're at least 75% to goal weight. No cream Soups either... Huh? From what I've read this seems to differ a lot. I know we all have different surgeons and different direction, but I'm a little perplexed. What gives? For me I don't like yogurt but planned on using it to put Protein powder in. I also like my protein shakes so much better with almond milk but I will use them with Water now. Any one elses Dr like this? -

My first thing was refried beans, then I had lowfat cottage cheese, greek yogurt mixed with some unjury strawberry protein powder. I mix a little of the unflavored unjury in a lot of things. I also after I saw I could tolerate those things I had a 1/2 cup of chili. Then some tilapia. I chew everything till its creamy & eating very slowly waiting at least 1-1 1/2 min. between bites. I measure everything out in 1/4 cup or 1/2 cup so I don't eat too much. I seem to fill up faster on Chicken so I only measure out 1/4 c. A typical meal might be 1/4 c cottage cheese with 1/4 cup fish. I will drink my powerade zero 32oz with a scoop of unflavored protein powder to get more protein & still get that much of my liquids. The rest of my liquids will come from plain water. Hope this helps. instant mashed potatoes are on my third week list of foods, one of the first soft foods I can eat. I think the reasoning is that there are few truly soft foods to work with and the purpose is to get the digestive track running. Potatoes are NOT a long term option however. What else to eat for 3rd week soft foods besides mash potatoes Sent from my LGMS323 using Tapatalk -
Oct 2015 RNY....How are you doing?
thbrown223 replied to fullange's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had my surgery on 10/12. My HW: 248, SW: 235 CW: 221. Immediately after surgery I had gas pain for about 3 days, it started subside afterwards. I returned to work the following week. I haven't dumped on anything. If course 1st week was all fluids; 2nd week, I was able to incorporate yogurt, loose oatmeal, and applesauce. The 3rd week, I was able to have tuna or salmon, 1/2 egg, 1/4-1/2 toast or 2 small crackers. This week and the next 2 weeks, I can have flaky fish, soft cooked veggies, canned fruit no juice, soft cooked mac and cheese, quinoa, hummus, small pastas with tomato sauce. I'm looking forward to some real food. I started walking 1 mile a day last week. Thus far, I feel wonderful! -

How much preparation did you get in the months beforehand? My dr made me "earn" the surgery with 4 months of changing food habits and exercise. Try the books written by the creator of this site, Alex Brecher. The big book of gastric sleeve, the big book of gastric bypass, etc. very helpful. My puréed diet starts after my two week postop dr visit. I'm looking forward to puréed chicken, tuna, hummus, eggs, Greek yogurt, applesauce, beans. The postop plan is very lo carb. -
I know this is going to be WILDLY popular... ;)

Ideas for ready made stuff I can buy to eat?
RILEYSMOM22 replied to wagyu's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Before you go nuts with prepared foods, make sure you are getting all your Protein. Keep in mind that a frozen dinner might be 20gms protein, but thats if you eat the whole thing, It isn't difficult to panfry a chicken breast, piece of fish, or steak. or scramble an egg. I eat one of those things for dinner every day. Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, lowfat string cheese are all quick protein sources. -
Google Bariatric food Manual. Several PDF's that you can download should come up. It should cover all food stages. My favorite Snacks early on was plain greek yogurt with chocolate Protein powder mixed in and then frozen to a pudding like consistency. I also liked using a tbsp of almond butter Other snacks I like are: String cheese Single Serving pack of pistachios, cashews or almonds Peeled and diced cucumber with a splash or sriracha and lime juice.

I like almonds. Yogurt. Parmesan cheese chips. Low-fat string cheese. But I'm far my favorite is pickles almost no calories and a great crunch

Soft foods... Well, i'm eating them. And, i'm not really following a plan other than no white flour or added sugar. Plus, I'm not really sure when i'm full. That is, until i feel awful. I'm not eating and drinking at the same time, and I'm chewing slowly. 2 weeks and 1 day in, I'm 17 lbs down. It is interesting that after a stressful work call, i ended up eating a yogurt. I wasn't hungry, and didn't need to eat. I was overtly full for the next 4 hours. Not fun. My favorite soft foods as of this moment are Protein pudding, salmon salad, almond milk yogurt, and hummos. I had some steamed dumplings that were fine until an hour after eating... Not sure if i will revisit and my balloon seemed to get lodged again. The downward dog move seems to work. My understanding is that several people who have had the "reshape" balloon have had to have it removed because of the size, that they get stuck.. Would love to hear any experiences.

how does it taste in relation to normal mayo? gonna check this out too Thanks BLERD! very helpful going to make use of the crockpot at work ! I can't tell a difference. I used half olive oil mayo, half unflavored greek yogurt when I made potato salad over the summer for a get together, no one noticed the difference. -

I make my own P3 protein packs with some low fat cheese, almonds, and low sodium deli meat or a boiled egg. Not sure that this is the best choice, but I have also found that 1 large chili from Wendy's will provide me with 3 lunches once portioned out! I also make some "skinny" deviled eggs using plain Greek yogurt instead of mayo that are a handy snack to keep in the fridge. If I'm desperate, a ready made premier protein shake is my meal, but I usually try to "eat" my meals rather than rely on shakes. -

BLERDgirl replied to wagyu's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I do half plain greek yogurt, half mayo. Same taste, half the calories with a tiny Protein boost. Oh wait. There's such a thing as a single serving crock pot. You can bring your own food without having to heat up in the communal area. I'm deathly allergic to seafood and never ate in the office lunch area because if someone heated up seafood I could have a anaphylactic episode. I became a master at bringing self contained lunches. -
I had Breakfast today, plenty of Protein, and about 30 minutes later I was craving something crunchy, crackers, kale chips etc. I started getting upset thinking how could I be hungry, I was very full 30 minutes ago. I started thinking of my favorite Snacks, like cottage cheese and yogurt, and thought to myself, that is not tempting at all, I am still full. My point is, I think I discovered how to tell the difference from head hunger vs real hunger, for me anyway and just wondering if anyone else feels that way. I know before surgery if I was hungry, anything and everything sounded good and I would eat almost anything, but this time I realized I was not really hungry or anything would have been tempting. I hope I am making sense. So rather then give in to something crunchy, I waited and had some fluids and craving gone for now.

Ideas for ready made stuff I can buy to eat?
Inner Surfer Girl replied to wagyu's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
You've got lots of great suggestions. I don't cook much either but am trying to do more. I have a very small kitchen so use my microwave and toaster oven a lot. I would also echo the suggestion of using a crock pot. I keep turkey burgers, fish, and chicken in the freezer. Another thing you can do is go to the deli and get sliced meats. Try thickly sliced turkey or roast beef. You can make a deconstructed sandwich but you can also eat it like roast. Heat it up and add a vegetable like green Beans and a little gravy and you have a great comfort-food type meal. I live on yogurt, tuna, cheese, etc. One of my favorite meals is cottage cheese with some fresh, ripe, juicy tomato and lots of black pepper. -

I wouldn't recommend boxed meals like lean cuisine and such, even the low sodium ones are barely food. A good nutra bullet/Ninja blender will be invaluable to you. ETA: Totally agree a crockpot would be a great investment. Try socking up on staples: Low sodium broths are good. A precooked chicken breast is a good weekly investment. During the liquids stage it can be pureed then thinned with broth, during puree stage just pureed then soft food stage chopped up with a bit of broth to eat. Buy only what you can eat in a week. If you have more invest in freezer bags and separate them into sleeve size portions. With the Holiday's coming up you may want to do the same with turkey breast. Greek Yogurt is a good high Protein buy. If you buy the plain you can add a small bit of fruit to sweeten or use as a healthier alternative to sour cream. Canned Beans are good. Lentils, split pea or black bean have a decent amount of protein in them. I prefer low sodium organic, but it you buy the regular ones, just drain and rinse before eating. Many people like refried beans topped with shredded cheese and tomato sauce. Fish often come frozen and is easy to prepare. (Poached in a vegetable broth with a few herbs and seasonings added, baked with some lemon slices, baked under diced tomatoes.) Spices are you friend. My basics: pink or Kosher salt, garlic powder, black pepper, bay leaves, rosemary. I prefer fresh, but jarred works as well. eggs if you like them. At the beginning of the week boil a few eggs. It makes a great grab and go Breakfast and contain healthy fats. Cheese sticks - look for those made from low fat milk. They make a good snack. Nut butters - I was allowed one tbsp a day from the time I was on All Liquids. That one tablespoon blended in a Protein Drink is a nice change of pace and adds a nice protein boost to your protein drink. The closer you are to eating normal food you may be able to take advantage of a good deli or hot/cold salad bar. Just pop in and grab whatever high protein items are available. I would also recommend picking up some wheatgerm, flax powder or psyllium powder. Many sleevers have issues with constipation. A tsp a day sprinkled on yogurt, your protein drink or in Soup may help add a bit of Fiber to your diet so that is not an issue for you. -
How Have Your Tastes Changed Since Surgery?
Alex Brecher posted a topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
A lot of WLS patients find their tastes change after WLS. Sometimes it’s too bad, like not liking healthy foods like chicken or salad anymore. Sometimes it’s a good thing, like when you don’t like greasy foods anymore. Sometimes it’s a direct result of surgery, like being intolerant to super sweet foods after gastric bypass or not liking the taste of Water anymore after the sleeve. Sometimes it’s the result of getting used to a new set of foods that you first FORCE yourself to eat, and later actually enjoy more than the junk food you used to eat. Like many lap-band patients, I didn’t notice any immediate changes in my tastes post-op, but my tastes have definitely changed in the years since surgery! Now, I like healthy foods, and don’t automatically prefer high-calorie sugary or fried foods. I like yogurt, and oatmeal, and fruit, and vegetables, and prefer unprocessed foods. What about you? Have your tastes changed since surgery? In which ways?- 10 replies

CowgirlJane replied to wagyu's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I don't know if you are a costco member or have a trader joes nearby.... but if you search for either of those you will find threads started by me where people put in "favorite finds" from those places. I like to cook but am often time challenged, so I love healthy - nearly ready to eat food. There are some who eat lean cuisine type dinners but I can't bring myself to do it. I feel like I eat so little - I want it to be stuff I love or at least like! I bet others will post some easy peasy stuff but here are just a few things: -greek yogurt -all natural sandwich meat with cheese, ideally wrapped around a dill pickle -low carb/low calorie/healthy sausages - there are several varieties I really like and can just heat and eat -I buy salmon patties (from Costco, but you can get them elsewhere) I grill em and put them on top of a yummy bed of salad greens. I use olive oil and white balsamic vinegar for dressing and it is really really good! -Do you like seafood - lots of places have ready to eat shrimp... yum -egg beaters and baby turkey sausages are a regular Breakfast for me - lots of Protein and very low cal/low carb -any kind of sandwich, but instead of bread, use a lettuce and make a wrap! -grocery stores often have premade things that are quite nice. It is expensive, but since 1 serving is probably 3 meals, it suddenly becomes more economical! -tuna in a pouch can be good over salad or as a main ingredient in one of those lettuce wraps Come on people - I know there are lots of other amazing ideas out there! -
So what's changed?
Ashlegal replied to LoseItKacy's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I used to HATE milk and Greek Yogurt. Loathe. Gag on the idea of having either. Now I drink Fairlife Milk twice (sometimes 3) times a day. I get a little panicked if it is late in the evening and I pour my four ounces in a frosty mug only to realize I don't have enough for my morning cup. I have one time at around 9 p.m. in my p.j.'s, house shoes and hair a fuss, rushed to the nearest convenience store to buy three of the little 11.5 ounce bottles. Not all Greek Yogurt I enjoy. I don't really like the Dannon Light and Fit Greek (or regular) it is too chemical tasting. It leaves a weird taste in my mouth. I do LOVE the Triple Zero Oikos, Chobani Simply 100 and the Yoplait Greek 100. Yum! -
Not tolerating whey protein...
Mogwaicat replied to Mogwaicat's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well...it's weird. I can drink milk fine, can tolerate small amounts of low sugar/low fat greek yogurt, but even the unflavored powder which only lists whey protein isolate as an ingredient makes me ill. I was fine with it before surgery. -
Post Op diet plan as given to you by the surgeon/nut
2goldengirl replied to Ray92's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You're on Day 13, so I might try adding some protein powder to your yogurt - the unflavored kind. You can get a nice protein hit that way.
