This diet seems like BS and I am pouting
perk4756 replied to forgetit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 5 days post op too and can barely drink a half can of broths day half a yogurt and only one bottle of water. Have added unflavored protein to all. Until today felt like razor blades when hitting my stomach. So myself I would be afraid to stray from the diet -
Yogurt, Milk - Dr against both for several months
ttdish replied to HopeandAgony's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This (but not the yogurt/milk restriction) sounds very similar to my post-op plan. I was really nervous about having solids so soon, since it's much different that most other plans I've read about, but I have to say, when I see so many posts about people being super miserable on their clear or full liquid diet for WEEKS post op, I'm really glad I had the plan I did. I never felt hungry or deprived, I had a super smooth recovery and my loss has been great! I followed my plan as written, and never had a single episode of nausea or vomiting. I'm now 9 weeks post op, and feel like I'm eating like a fairly normal person, just very low carb, and small portions. But yeah, to allow cottage cheese, but not yogurt, and to group cows milk and almond milk into the same category is just... Odd... I hope you get some good answers that help clarify things for you. Please report back on what they say, as I think many of us are curious! ~*~ Find me on YouTube: Trisha's Sleeve Story ~*~ -

Yea!!! Your not getting good sleep in the hospital, I was exhausted when I got home. You probably won't want to drink much when you get home either, you just have to make yourself. Have a safe trip home!Thank you, been HOME, been struggling to try to get in everything that I need to drink as far as water goes and protein and the vitamins. I was kind of out of it at the hospital but I remember my surgeon telling me that on my third day which have been a while back now and I haven't done it but he said something along the lines of being able to have sugar free jello sugar free pudding low fat cottage cheese low fat cream soups that have been strained yogurt with no edible fruits in them granted he told me all this when I was in the hospital and under heavy medication at the time still and I'm trying to remember if I heard him right because it doesn't seem like that with anybody else is doing -
At 6 Wks be going home for Christmas. They don't know! What can I eat to blend in?
jobillandjosh replied to itstimealready's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is what I do for people I really don't want to explain my WLS to. I've run into this a few times already in small settings like a group of 6 where it can be noticeable. If we're having pizza, then I put a slice on my plate, cut it up here and there and and then I also get like a yogurt with Protein powder or something and eat that while the pizza sits there. No one asks why I haven't taken a slice and they see me eating. I'm usually able to throw my plate away. No one noticed or at least no one said anything. No one pushes food on me. A win I can live with. -
61 and Getting Sleeved 9/15-need a hand to hold!
VSGAnn2014 replied to Missy Ellen's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
At five weeks post-op I was eating salmon, refried beans, yogurt, cheese, chicken, coffee lattes (with skim milk), even a Taco Bell Chipotle loaded griller (I have no idea how I got that down, but it's recorded on My Fitness Pal during Week 5, so I guess it really happened). I'll warn you that I apparently have the sleeve of steel. I've never thrown up. So I don't know how typical all that is. But I do think at 5 weeks post-op you should be eating regular food. Maybe not Taco Bell, but at least chicken, soft fish, and maybe some broiled colored veggies. Maybe you should have an endoscope and see what's going on down there? Good luck to you! -
I was scared too. I puked up a scrambled egg but I could eat thin slices of cheese. You get a bit better everyday. Go slowly. Eat yogurt. Chew thoroughly.

If you're talking a vaginal yeast infection and you don't want to mess with creams, you can ask your doc for a pill called Diflucan. Just one pill and it clears it up. If you're having repeated infections, I'd try upping your probiotic intake with yogurt, kefir, fermented foods or supplements.

I am still on the full liquid diet and I'm getting tired of the protein shakes already. I tried some Greek yogurt with protein powder mixed in earlier today and it didn't settle well on my tummy. Anyone have any suggestions on different things I could try? I love savory foods and all the sweets are becoming a little much for me.

Yogurt, Milk - Dr against both for several months
HopeandAgony replied to HopeandAgony's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm not knocking anyone's program, I'm just curious as to why. I have no doubt you can hit Protein goals without it. Also seems rather arbitrary to allow cottage cheese but not yogurt. I understand not allowing the flavored yogurts, but why not plain Greek yogurt?That's exactly what I thought!! I just wanted some variety. I don't even like yogurt but the thought of having something besides cottage cheese was nice...lol. I am also surprised I can't have refried Beans or any beans until 1 month. I was soooooo looking forward to refried beans during the pureed stage because I love them. Sigh. I will definitely be asking. Thanks -
There are a couple of nutrition related areas to be aware of regarding antibiotics. Some antibiotics will interact with certain minerals. These minerals include magnesium and aluminum, which are found in anti-acid medications. Other minerals that can interact with some antibiotics include iron, calcium and zinc. Check your supplements to see if these are included. Some ready to drink protein shakes can be fortified with these minerals. Calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc and aluminum will interact with some antibiotics and make them less effective. You will need to take these minerals several hours apart from the antibiotic. Something else to be aware of is that antibiotics kill bacteria, both the good ones and the bad ones. Therefore, do not take an antibiotic at the same time you take something with probiotics in it like yogurt, kefir or a probiotic supplement. Your antibiotic can kill some of the good bacteria and not have enough left to kill all the bad bacteria. Take the time to read the insert that comes with your antibiotic. If you need further help, consult with your medical team, including your pharmacist. Taking your antibiotic correctly will allow your body to have the best chance to get rid of a bacterial infection.

The discovery of antibiotics has been a major factor with our increased life expectancy. You have probably had an occasion to be on antibiotic therapy. Over the last couple of decades, misuse of antibiotics has led to bacteria that have become resistant to many of the current antibiotics. It is important to take your antibiotics as prescribed, not just until you feel better. Getting the best result from your antibiotic helps you get rid of a bacterial infection.

I was also surprised that when I get home from the hospital (day 3 after surgery) I can eat cottage cheese, eggs, and all other pureed foods. Nice for me, though a little scary. Soft foods starting week 2, normal meats at 1 month with added veggies, and I can add fruit at month 2. I'm not complaining. Just perplexed by the yogurt/milk thing. -
I just tried nonfat Greek yogurt mixed with unjury chocolate protein powder. It was really good!

So what's changed?
sharkgirl replied to LoseItKacy's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Not super far post-op but I can't eat scrambled eggs (but hard boiled is just fine), used to LOVE mashed potatoes they were my favorite part of Thanksgiving and now I can't even have them touch my mouth. I love chili and would eat it every day. I also love yogurt and Water, both were just tolerated, now I crave them. I cannot add flavoring in my water either, it's way to sweet. -
Anyone familiar with this?
WorkinOnMe replied to Nikki Monroe's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
The Syntrax nectar are one of the only ones I can stomach. I especially like their fruit flavors because I mix them with Water and it isnt as thick. I also use their unflavored powder too. My NUT told me not to do more than 25-30g of Protein at once, and if it is at the higher end to take it slow so my body has time to process it a bit. The unflavored is 10g per scoop, so that is what I add to greek yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. -
@@Ray92 Don't you just love when someone starts out with wanting to make substitutions? Here I am. What are the usual ingredients, apart from the cheese, in shanklish? Are they so specific that feta wouldn't be a pleasing match? I'm just not familiar enough to know if feta and goat are always interchangeable. I've tasted all types of goat cheese through the years since it became well-known in the U.S., but I still can't abide it, not even the creamy, fresh, milder versions. I nearly cried like a baby long before that when I bought a container of goat's-milk yogurt in a specialty shop.

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.
