Have you tried mixing in a little sugar free jello mix like 1/2-1 teaspoon into a cup of Greek yogurt?Also if you add 2 Tbs. unflavored unjury to a Greek yogurt you can bump the protein up by about 5 grams.

I did a little test on my sleeve. I took a 6 ounce container of yogurt and ate till I was full. I could hold 5 ounces so I measure my food and make sure it weighs less than 5 ounces. I know this doesn't apply to all food because some food is dense and it's more about volume than weight but it gives me a good idea..and when I follow it, I never overstuff myself. Hope this helps.

I'm definitely not perfect. I've been know to slip in some doritos or a muffin here and there. But what works for me the VAST majority of the time is to eat on a schedule. I eat 6 times a day: Breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, and evening snack. I eat a set amount at each of those time, I don't just mindlessly eat until I'm overfull. Since I'm eating every 2-3 hours, I really don't have TIME for unplanned snacking. I also just practice the usual trick of not keeping the junk food in the house. I definitely think having scheduled and defined Snacks is the way to go. I'm much less likely to sit down and eat some chips or something junky if I'm due for my afternoon yogurt in less than an hour.

Calories!
Inner Surfer Girl replied to missblonde20's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The primary focus right now is getting in all of your protein and fluids. You need protein and fluids to heal and to lose weight. What is your protein target? How are you doing at reaching that target? Your calories are relative to your protein. If you are eating a 1000 calories and getting in all of your protein, then that is great. If you are eating 1000 calories and not getting in your protein then it isn't. 1000 calories of donuts is not the equivalent to 1000 of Greek yogurt or turkey breast. -

Solid foods 1 month out
Clarevoyant replied to hillij25's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm five weeks out and everyday gets a little better. I can definitely eat larger quantities of soft foods like yogurt than chicken. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I absolutely think it is possible to have true hunger. My solution? I'm only 2 weeks out, but am consuming 1000+ cals. 3 cups of whole or 2% milk, 1 cup of drinkable yogurt, coconut water, protein powders, and even my vitamins have 75cals. I also drink 40oz of water. My skin feels great, I have plenty of energy, and I'm feeling healthy, not pinched and malnourished like I felt on the preop diet. And I am losing weight at an acceptable rate. I'm allowed to start purees, so am adding in cottage cheese and today I'm gonna try tuna. Once I'm getting calories and protein from food, things will shift again.

Weird feeling and need ideas for full liquids
bandedincali replied to bandedincali's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you both your replies! Deb A- I do have reflux- I was on medication for it and come to think of it, I haven´t taken it since I´ve been home from the hospital! I wonder if that is it. I didn´t even think about it until I read your post. Duh. My doc even okayed me to take the pills. I am going to pop one right now and see if it helps! Susan, Thanks for the yogurt tip. Going to look at the soups later today. I can´t advance on to mushies for another month! Ahhh! Lucky you:) -
Weird feeling and need ideas for full liquids
NiceNiecy replied to bandedincali's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Banded - Dannon makes a sugar-free, non-fat yogurt and is the only one I have found. I didn't like the after taste myself, so I just do Yoplait light, but I think it has some sugar. I figure it is still healthier than I was eating and the exercise will help burn it off. I had my surgery 12/10 and I am anxiously awaiting this coming Wednesday to add fish and poultry to my meals! :hurray: Niecy -
What was your first solids post-band meal?
JustWatchMe replied to JustWatchMe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My NUT said soups and yogurt and broths and jello and pudding and protein shakes are okay for full liquids. My surgeon told me to stick to 800 calories a day and cut out the protein shakes. I'm compromising the two and have basically had one creamy soup and two shakes per day and buttermilk at night. I'm hungry but doing okay. Staying under 800 calories. April 24th I transition to regular food. That was the term they both used. I can't wait. I also found out from the NUT that this surgeon's protocol is to maximize post-op weight loss and get me a jump start before starting to eat again. It's doing that but boy, is it a long haul. -
How to make cottage cheese and plain yogurt interesting?
ElusiveQuality replied to AEdoesRnY's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'll second the recommendation on syrups. Also, water enhancers like the Hawaiian Punch flavoring work great in yogurt. For cottage cheese, cinnamon and stevia work well. For savory, I'd suggest garlic salt. -EQ -
How to make cottage cheese and plain yogurt interesting?
AEdoesRnY posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So my clinic has me on a 1000 cal per day, fairly restrictive liquid diet for two weeks before my surgery. I’m currently on day three and I’m doing okay but feeling nervous about my ability to do this for two full weeks. One thing I’ve found that I really enjoy is cottage cheese with pineapple (Kemp’s fruit on the bottom). It’s technically slightly above the sugar per serving I’m supposed to have (10g instead of 7g), and it’s expensive to buy because it’s just single serve. I also feel like I have TONS of sweet options (sugar free popsicles, pudding, etc) but I’m looking for more savory options. Though I’m interested in hearing what you do for sweet or savory with both cottage cheese and plain yogurt! What kind of seasonings, liquids, etc do you add to your cottage cheese to make it more interesting/satisfying? Thanks!! -
How to make cottage cheese and plain yogurt interesting?
Deja replied to AEdoesRnY's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For something simple, sweet and easy to add in, my surgeon and nutritionist recommended adding sugar free torani syrups to cottage cheese or yogurt. -
My activities for Wednesday 7/23/08 I started another BFL challenge on Monday, it is 84 days and I'm hoping it will get me back in the grove of exercising. Today was the lower body workout, I went to the gym and gave it my all. My knee just wouldn't let me do some of the stuff, and when I felt pain, I had to stop because I didn't want to damage it further. I was afraid pushing myself/my knee/ would cause a set back, so I held off on some of the stuff I wanted to do Quads - leg presses Hamstrings - lying leg extentions, straight leg dead lifts Calfs - calf raises Abs - ab crunches with 10 lb weights, and inclined sit ups Menu bfast - cottage cheese mixed with yogurt snack - 3 strawberries lunch - whole wheat tortia, 3 oz chicken breast and hot pace picante sauce snack - necterine dinner - 3/4 cup of pinto beans wt - didn't weigh, trying not to focus on the scales for the next couple of weeks and really focus on feeling better and exercise.

What is/was your post op diet?
yami17leth replied to Lisa1996's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had surgery 4/13 Was sent home on stage 3. For the first 2 weeks until my post up apt I had clear liquids, Protein shakes and yogurt. Week 3 until my next nut apt in about 3 weeks i'm on stage 4 soft foods. Cottage cheese, fish, salmon, tuna in Water ect. I have been on stage 4 for almost 2 weeks now. I'm trying to make different types of food. YES! I have had to trow away lots of food either because I didn't like the taste or because I like it the first time but not anymore. My tastes have changed a lot after surgery and it does happen to many people. I remember when I was told I had to get used to wasting food as it would be no option after surgery Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I do a lot of food based protein. I do have one protein smoothie every morning that gives me a good "head start" for the day, buy the rest comes from 100% food based. I would research high protein foods and get an idea of what you like vs. what you don't like. Your taste buds could change after surgery, but it mostly has to do with things being overly sweet after surgery. I eat a lot of the following: - eggs, all different ways - Greek yogurt - tuna packets -jerky -cottage cheese -chick peas - Brussels sprouts -Fairllife Milk with sugar free chocolate syrup. -Almonds -Meat, meat and meat. I don't discriminate with meat. I also eat soy meat 2-3 times per week. I find different ways to mix it up, as to not get bored.

How do you reach your fluid and protein goal?
Diana_in_Philly replied to Iwanttofitinmyweddingdress's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Pre-surgery, I was a water chugger, so sipping killed me the first week or so. You will find out very quickly if you take too big of a sip or drink - your stomach will let you know. I found I had to try water at different temperatures, but would make sure I was drinking at least one cup of water (8 ounces) per hour during the day. Sometimes warm, sometimes cold. Sometimes flavored. Sometimes plain. After about 3 weeks, I was able to drink normally again. To this day, I keep a water bottle at my desk - 24 ounces - I consume it completely twice during the course of the work day. That gets me to 48 of my 64 ounces without even trying! As for protein - when I was on liquids, I made sure I had 2-3 shakes a day - Premier protein shakes are 30g protein - so 2 of those met my goal. Now, it's protein first - I still have a shake in the morning - this morning's was 2 ounces strawberries, 2 ounces blueberries, cup of coconut milk and scoop of protein powder (under 200 calories and 25g. protein.) I shoot for 70-90 grams of protein a day. A 15 gram yogurt is up for the start of lunch in a bit - that will get me to 40 grams before I have any meat or cheese today! Write everything down and keep track. It helps. -
2 weeks post op- eating little, hard to get protein
Meryline replied to AZBlackhawk's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
@James Marusek I have been getting my protein in with food for a while now, and I track everything. My protein goal is only 60g a day, but I'm often over 80g or more. But, my meals are basically only protein. It is possible. There has been a lot of yogurt eaten, that's for sure. And the one I have has 11g pr 100g. My program has had me on solids since day 4 though. I used protein shakes in the beginning, but not after week 3-4. 6 small meals a day it was. Down to 4-5 now. I eat max 5 oz a meal, which has been allowed since I first started. You don't have to drink protein shakes if you meet your protein goal for the day with food, but reaching it, is your second priority, first is water. -
2 weeks post op- eating little, hard to get protein
hmills653 replied to AZBlackhawk's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I'm 5 wks out and still not able to meet fluid or protein goals yet. I'm getting around 32 oz fluid. The problem is I get full when I eat and stay full so its hard to eat every couple hrs. I try to focus on goods with protein such as eggs, yogurt, cheese, protein shakes as tolerated. -
Going crazy on pre-op diet
jtorie replied to nurselori73's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
EAS is a great brand, I just bought some shakes at Walmart, but the powder can be found at Costco or Target. Super High Protein, low carb. some of things I am drinking right now, are 100% natural juices ie: apple, grapefruit, cranberry, grape, orange. Diet Swiss Miss hot chocolate (with water), yogurt, apple sauce (I know its more of a puree but it helps with the hunger) Low Sodium Bouillion, minute made canned juice in light flavors (very nummy, no sugar) Breyers real fruit ice pops (my favorite is the lime). crystal light, no sugar Kool-aid, Sugar Free Jello, unsweetened tea (very small amount) Anything with high fructose corn syrup goes back on the store shelves. Good Luck on the Liquid diet, my first day was today and already cheated. Argh! -

I am almost 3 weeks post op and I am in phase 2 where I eat some amounts of tuna fish and a couple crackers or chicken ( make sure it is very moist). I have only problems trying to eat vegetables that are not cooked for along time and almost mush. In phase one I could only eat soft Protein like yogurt and cottage cheese and Soups. I couldn't tolerate any noodles or Pasta. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
