Best (unflavored) protein powder
Skywalker replied to Skywalker's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
On my second container of GENEPRO right now. Have been trying to add it to at least two meals a day (so that's 60g Protein right there). I love the consistency and lack of flavor. It actually makes greek yogurt taste a little better, IMO. The weight loss stall might be moving. Down a couple lbs. Will keep you guys posted, I have to figure out something to not be complacent and get this moving again. -
Unflavored protein (try plain soy if lactose intolerant) added to soup or broth. Nut butter for a snack. When you make egg salad instead of mayo use half plain Greek yogurt and half mayo. It taste the same but boost your protein

Flax powder, wheat germ or psyllium powder can be added to a protein shake or yogurt

Questions- I am 10 days post op and am having the worst time getting my protein shakes down. Like almost gag worthy status. I am doing yogurt, even though that's really a minuscule amount. Any suggestions? Also has anyone experienced an awful taste in their mouth? It's so awful and combined with the protein shakes it's 10x's worse, is this normal?

My ass hurts when I sit too long, I'm f'ing freezing when the temps dip below 64 and
winklie replied to LipstickLady's topic in Rants & Raves
I did some research on which brands are the best (found a couple of independent labs that do that sort of stuff) settled on the #3 rated one across multiple tests, ordered from Amazon, talked to NUT and she was like, WHOA there, bring it with you next Wednesday for your one month and we'll discuss it. She said I usually don't allow supplements until the 2 month checkup. I retorted, um, not to be disrespectful but you do realize what is in all this yogurt I eat.... daily.... Probiotics. She said we'll talk about it. So one more week of unpredictable ass, at least. It's actually been pretty good for the last couple days. No Volcano Ass to speak of, had a few emergency runs, but it was gas, and had it not my hallway outside the bathroom would look and smell quite different now. -
Doc says no fruit--EVER
SweetPotato replied to Whynotnow's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
yeah.... my program has us off of caffeine, alcohol, carbonated beverages, using straws, chewing gum, specific veggies (like corn and celery), yogurt, rice/pasta/oatmeal and discourages specific fruits (like watermelon, grapes and pineapple). They also highly discourage drinking calories, including Protein shakes... something that lots of programs highly suggest. Thats from orientation day out. After surgery we are supposed to do protein first, followed by veggies and, if there is room we can add a whole grain complex carb from a specific list and then fruit (suggested start with apples for lower sugar content). Every program is different... -
I don't see why it would be a problem. Just watch the carb count. I regularly put Kefir (liquid yogurt) in my Protein shakes to help with the taste. Plus it adds more protein and keeps me regular.

Yeah! 1 Month Post-Op
TMG1980TMG replied to TMG1980TMG's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I bet your are!! Not much longer for you now! I am not on meat yet, but I can tolerate a small amount of veggies in Soup or roasted. I really like Beans, eggs, and light and fit Greek yogurt right now! Yum! -
the first two weeks are hell. no way around it. but you are half way there. the liquid phase sucks. but once you're done with that the mushy phase is nice. i'm about 20 days out. still not eating much but my options are way better. scrambled eggs with cheese refried Beans with cheese yogurt with fruit chicken Soup that's kinda what im eating right now. i don't have much of an appetite. but tonight im gonna try a little ground beef with my refried beans maybe. good luck! 15lbs in 7 days is amazing! i'm at 20lbs in 20 days so you're doing great!

hey guys. how's everyone doing. i did better last night. when i got home i had that chicken Soup (measured in my little 4oz cup) and then later i had Fage 0% yogurt with peaches. my scale lost it's mind this morning. i think it needs batteries. but i can feel im doing good still lol. i woke up feeling kinda icky but then i had fage yogurt with fruit for Breakfast and my multi Vitamin and i'm feeling pretty good. so that's promising. maybe the yogurt cultures help or something? idk @retrieverguy you gonna make 'em with vodka? do you use powder Jello? i only have the premade jello maybe i could melt it and make one in a few weeks

How do you handle eating socially post op?
lauraellen80 replied to nyjocool's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My husband and I went to the shore with friends when I was just starting my soft foods phase. I portioned out little containers with a 1/4 cup of refried beans and a sprinkle of cheese, took along yogurt, protein shakes, and stuff to make scrambled eggs. Everyone knew about my surgery, so it wasn't a big deal. And at that point, I didn't really want to eat much, so I wasn't in envy of what everyone else was eating... the exceptions being lusting over an amazing-looking Greek salad they made one night, and having a passing desire to eat a homemade chocolate chip cookie. -
Glad to see this thread. I'm about 4.5 months out and about 15 lbs from goal. In the past week or so, I have been feeling like I need a bit more food. I have been at 800 calories max per day (per my surgeon and his staff), and I'm getting about 80 grams of protein. Last night after I had some Greek yogurt w/ some protein powder mixed in for a snack, I still felt like I needed something, so I ate a few almonds. It put me over the 800 calories... but I felt better. I need to talk to my NUT about where I should be calorie-wise at this stage. I don't want to sabotage my weight loss by eating too much, but I also don't want to mess up my metabolism by eating too little...

Protein bars.... How many in a day?
Margie122 replied to Lexuskela's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
While it would be best to get your Protein and nutrients in by eating regular food, I would guess 1 Protein Bar a day max? This is just a guess. Is there a reason you can't get your calories in by eating regular food? Could you mix unflavored protein into yogurt or cocoa? Maybe eat some full fat cheese for extra calories? -
I had a LRNY GB on 05OCT2015. So as of today I am 22 days post. Down 32 pounds by my scale since the day of surgery, things were going really well until the end of last week. I weighed in on Friday as I always do, was down another 8 pounds and was happy. Then..... I gained a pound. Then another. As of this morning I am .8 lbs below last Friday's weigh in, but here is the thing: I was walking 5.21 miles every morning. (my body decided it likes the Military routine, so I have been getting up at 0400, not by choice) I eat < 800 calories a day. I consume > 100 grams of medical grade Protein (Unjury) daily I take in somewhere between 70-100 oz of Water a day. I usually have a Protein shake in the am prior to my walk For lunch it's another shake or perhaps a yogurt. dinner, well, it was shakes until last week, I had Ricotta bake twice, and have been eating refried Beans and cheese for the past two nights. I upped my am walk from 5.21 miles to 6.75 miles as 5.21 was just too easy, I had it down to a little over 1.5 hours and my heart rate was not high enough for long enough, by tacking on another trail (lots of hills!), before 10:00 I have 16K steps, 140 highly active minutes, about 7 miles traveled, 15 or so flights of stairs (I told you lots of hills on the new trail). By days, end I have burned no less than 4000 calories. HOW CAN I NOT BE LOSING WEIGHT? 4000 calories out, 800 in, is a 3200 calorie deficit, that's 1 pound a day. I don't get it, and I am starting to get really put out by this. So what is going on? Any advice before I go postal and adopt an Ethiopian diet of 200 calories a day and go into open revolt against my body? One (bordering on TMI) caveat, I am not having a daily BM or even every other day, I went from volcano ass, to solid BM's, but they have all but stopped, last one was 2 or 3 days ago. Back on Miralax this morning, I gotta get regular.

The dannon oikos triple zero was a bit too tangy for me. I really like their light & fit greek yogurt in vanilla and toasted coconut vanilla...ohhh and they have a seasonal flavor out now called caramel apple that's pretty fantastic too!

What's the best protein bar?
heidikate replied to densalrios@gmail.com's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Greek yogurt mixed with flavored liquid Stevia or sugar free Jello or pudding is yum. -
Doc says no fruit--EVER
BLERDgirl replied to Whynotnow's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sounds a bit extreme. I could have fruit from week 3 (Purees) onward but in small amounts. I avoid bananas because A) I don't like them and they are really high in sugar. However anyone who likes them simply needs to plan accordingly. I wouldn't recommend any post-op eating more than half a banana at a time. My thought is this; too much sugar can be bad, but we need to learn how eat foods that can nourish out bodies. I'd rather eat real fruit and get all the Fiber, nutrients, etc... than any form of fake food or sugar sub. In moderation it can be a good thing. A small piece of fruit before a workout gives you energy and so that sugar gets burned off. A portion for me these days is a half and orange, or half an apple. I would never do a fruit smoothie that was all fruit. That's a sugar bomb. I will do half an orange, dash of lemon juice, tumeric powder, greek yogurt and a scoop of Protein powder. Taste like an Orange Julius. -
I felt tighter with flying and elevations. My band got so tight all I could eat was a teaspoon of yogurt which was a problem. My surgeon that I had back then didn't believe me but, he wasnt the one who had the band in either. You could always go get some fluid removed when traveling if you didn't want to worry about it, and get fluid put back in after your trip. I also had a friend who also had experienced the same.

I'm not much on yogurt, but I did stumble on that Oikos Triple Zero Greek stuff during the months leading up to my pre-op diet. I stress that I don't care for yogurt in general.....but this stuff is great. I'm glad I found out about it. It needs nothing extra to taste really good. My husband who hasn't had any surgery and isn't overweight (brat lol). Loves the triple zero yogurt too. He actually likes almost all the "healthy" food that I'm eating also. Like the veggie chips (pre op) even my broth I drank lol. veggie chips? Do you make them or buy them I'm trying to healthy stuff I like ..it's a process These were before surgery. They were the Veggie Straws from the grocery store. I'll be 7 weeks this Wednesday and should be released to eat home made veggie chips! (Hopefully) lol!! I love the veggie straws but I was told they weren't as healthy as I thought! Seems like the things I think are heathy really are not! I am basically starting from scratch! I am very picky and find that this is very very difficult! I get to the point where I question having wls at all! Please tell me I not alone in this?

SURGERY DATE 11/10/2015
LetItGo replied to volsfan82's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
JoeyEllen, tell me what you are eating in one day. I start my day with a green smoothie (spinach, apple, fresh ginger, truvia and coconut water). I also alternate Carnation Instant Breakfast with skim milk. Drink Water, propel, diet V8 or G2 throughout the day, all day long. I eat tomato Soup for lunch or a pureed healthy cream soup. I drink two Protein shakes, as well. dinner is broth, yogurt, SF Jello and a SF Popsicle before bed. I am taking Vitamins and B12. Make sure you are getting 60-80 grams of protein every day. That is the key to staving off the hunger. I will pray that you have a better day tomorrow! Stay strong! -

Sharon1964 replied to Whynotnow's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you want a smoothie, make one with plain yogurt, a splash of sugar-free flavored syrup (I like the vanilla and the hazelnut), almond milk or similar, a handful of ice, and about 1/4 cup frozen blueberries. If you have Protein powder, throw a scoop of that in. Blueberries are one of the fruits that are lowest in sugar. Just don't have a gigantic serving. -
I started eating berries and bananas pureed in my Protein shakes pretty early on - maybe the second week out. I've been eating (whole) berries on my yogurt since I was first moved from the pureed to soft food stage at four weeks out. I wasn't allowed to eat raw vegetables until month three. Lettuce still bothers me. I know some people have trouble with fruit with skins, too (I haven't tried those yet)
-
I never actually pureed any of my food. I had mashed potatoes, smooth soups, applesauce, yogurt, hummus, Jello, pudding, etc. I wouldn't puree what the rest of your family is eating if it's something that's not on your plan. For instance, if they're having Pasta, you can't have that even if it's pureed (according to my plan, yours may be different).

Hi all. I am one week post op. I have lost 6lbs. but at first I gained 10lbs just from the surgery. It was unbelievable. But I also had a lot of fluids from the surgery-along with internal bleeding and two blood transfusions. I wasnt taking much in so I was surprised at the gain even though I had been warned. but things are good now. I can only take in a couple of teaspoons of food at a time like cream of chicken soup and cream of wheat. Not hungry but know I have to keep getting food into my body. Am on track with my vitamins. The incisions are bruised and so so sore. Hubby took off the first week. I thought I would be back at work this week but the set backs from the complications kind of made me slow down. getting my strength back and ready for this new beginning. I am on pudding-yogurt- with no fruit-cream of soups-for another week. Thought I would start posting on the Post Op side. yippie. So happy to be on this journey with so many cool people on here!!!
