Chobani Greek yogurt ... Pumpkin.... SUGARS!? Help!
Lexuskela posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I bought Chobani Greek yogurt today, I usually always eat Chobani Greek. I was excited I found the new pumpkin flavored ones but I am worried about the sugars in it. I am going to attach the nutritional facts. Please let me know if I should return this. I was so excited because I LOVE PUMPKIN & have not had anything pumpkin yet since surgery because usually everything pumpkin is made in unhealthy ways. ???????????????????? Ps... Sorry I can't rotate the pic ???? -
Stomache pain when eating
MimiFB replied to volsfan82's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Volsfan2 - I was sleeved on 10/12 and I have not had any issues so far and I am keeping my fingers crossed that the trend continues. Refried Beans are not allowed on my plan. So far, I have only tried broth, yogurt and Soup and of course the Protein drinks with no issues. I drink/eat them all pretty slowly. Hope you get better soon. -

Have you tried plain Greek yogurt sweetened with Spenda? Tons of protein! -
Lactose Intolerance After Bariatric Surgery
flumd0612 replied to BaileyBariatrics's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Magazine
Hi...wondering if I could have had this issue today. I am post-op day # 12 and today tried to eat Kefir (a yogurt style drink) which has a good amount of Protein per serving. I developed severe abdominal pain within the next few hours and was in bed the entire day! I thought I might have to go to the emergency room!! Does this sound like lactose intolerance? All the while I had pain I heard gurgling in my stomach and (not to be gross) I was passing wind. I just had terrible cramping which only responded to pain medication and sleep. What do you think? -
Struggling with the liquid diet numbers game
BLERDgirl replied to BrightEyes529's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My first month out my calorie range was 400 - 600, but my NUT was more concerned with me meeting my Protein and Fluid goals. Being low cal for a bit won't hurt. We have plenty of fat reserves to take care of that. I started the day with a Protein shake with ¼ - ½ cup plain greek yogurt, 1 scoop Protein powder and whatever mixin's I liked, often 1 tbsp of almond butter, sometimes a 1 - 2 ounces of fruit and some chopped spinach or fresh spinach leaves mixed with Water and served over ice. That was Breakfast and lunch was pretty similar. dinner was veg broth or clear Soup with ½ - whole scoop unflavored protein powder. In between that I sipped on my water. -
@@missyray I am on liquids only right now, at least until Thursday when I can start soft foods. My favorite "liquids" are Soups by IMAGINE http://www.imaginefoods.com/products/creamy_soups and 2 Premier Protein shakes and 1 yogurt. I sip Water and sometimes, diluted clear Isopure and tea.

@@BLERDgirl - you are not kidding. A helpful hint, every morning I pull a scoop of Protein powder and add little bits of it to my coffee, yogurt and other foods. I log it at the end of the day based on how much is left in the scoop. Yes I am obsessive about protein, but when you notice hair loss, you tend to get that way.

Anyone having surgery in Oct ?
kvoneye replied to Jenaenae84's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've been drinking chocolate milk since day one. The elixir they gave me for pain is enough to make a person puke along with the liquid prilocec. I finally told the dr no way to both. Pain isn't too bad and the prilocec I have, I just break a part and mix with orange yogurt. -

Sleeved August 26 but only 20lbs
Sharon1964 replied to del112's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@LumpySpacePrincess gave you some of the best advice I've seen around these parts. I'm a couple weeks further out than you, and I can rarely eat vegetables at this point - it's all Protein. For Breakfast I have one scrambled egg with a little cheese in it. For lunch I have one slice of meatloaf, or some steak, or chicken, or shrimp, or fish, or meatballs (Costco) whatever is leftover from dinner the night before - no more than1/3 cup. After dinner I like a sugar-free popsicle. For breakfast, if I don't feel like cooking an egg, I'll have a dannon light & fit yogurt (I checked the labels yesterday on that vs. Oikos triple zero - Oikos has 3 grams more protein but also more carbs), or a piece of lunch meat wrapped around cheese and heated in a pan. My fluids are crystal light, unless I'm in a store and I'm thirsty then I'll have a bottled Water. Definitely no juice. That's it. -
I am naming this morning's Protein shake "Almond Joy." I mixed 1 scoop Isopure Low Carb Dutch chocolate Protein powder with 6 oz Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Almondmilk Coconutmilk Blend. You lose some of the protein vs. mixing it with skim milk, but the flavor was quite festive! It was still 25 g protein. Almond Breeze is in the refrigerated "healthy" dairy section of the grocery store... where they sell Horizon milk, Yo Baby yogurt, tofu, etc. The Vitamin Shoppe has 1 lb bags of Isopure, so you don't have to commit to a whole 3 lb tub.

Share your meals.. week or so out.
OneLostJourney posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi ya'll I'm 10 days out and wanted to hear from others what are your daily meals like and amounts or Oz per each meal. Breakfast - primier shake sip the whole 11oz in 2 hour time frame. lunch Water dinner. Soup maybe 2oz or so Water through the day maybe spoon of yogurt kefir here and there. -
It gets better but it is part of the process to chew everything very well. And back to your other post, you shouldn't be chewing right now. Sorry but you have to let your stomach heal. You have to find someway of getting Protein. Have you tried adding Protein powder to your pudding that NUT allows? I use Precision Engineered whey Protein Isolate and even my non-WLS friends at work comment on how good it smells - especially the vanilla. I add the vanilla powder to yogurt (not sure if you can have that yet) and chocolate powder to my sugar free Chocolate pudding. You have to try some other brands and add stuff to them - PB2 cover a lot of flavor if you like Peanut Butter. Any of the Sugar Free Torani flavored syrups help a lot. Premier Protein ready shakes is like drinking chocolate milk. Try those if you haven't. And drink all of them from a cup with a lid so you are not smelling it. Keep trying.

As it turns out, I have a pretty bad case of dumping syndrome. And I'm not entirely sure what causes it and how to manage it as it had started up rather suddenly. I wasn't sure it was dumping syndrome but I have confirmed it with my surgeon that it is. After I eat I become severely nauseated for about an hour, 30 minutes if I take zofran. It's so bad all I can do is lay there and groan. I can't talk or walk. It seems to be set off by anything sweet- ice cream, evens glass of milk, yogurt, etc. It also seems to happen at other times- just after any meal. I'm not sure what's triggering it. Can dumping be triggered by portion size alone? What foods trigger your dumping if you have it? What can be done to help with the symptoms? How do I avoid this from happening? Any advice appreciated. It's pretty awful.

I never hear anyone talk about the pain you feel when you eat solid food. I'm wondering I am the only one experiencing this? The pain is excruciating, it'll take me to my knees! I'm unable to function, barely able to handle it at all and it will last for 2-4 hours. When I was able to eat solid food, the first thing I tried was soup with veggies so soft they melted in your mouth. I had two teaspoonfuls and before I took my third I felt this really hard knot forming from my stomach to my throat, my back teeth started ringing and shooting pain. It hurt so bad I could barely get to my bed to lay down! It lasted 3 hrs. I figured I ate to fast. The next day, I tried again, the same thing I figured I ate to much this time. It took me awhile to try again, it really is something I am afraid of now! The next time was on the day of my 1st check up, 10 days later. I had a scrabbled egg, chewed the crap out of, took 20 minutes to eat it and didn't actually eat the whole egg! It didn't hurt but it was alittle uncomfortable. My doc app was fine! So from the time I ate it to the time my doctors appointment was over was 3 hrs. I got into my truck and took a sip of water (first sip since before breakfast) and almost instantly I was doubled over in pain. I sat in the parking lot for about 40 minutes before I could drive, I still wasn't ok but better. When I got home I went right to bed. An hour later I tried water again and same thing, pain. At this point it was 5 hr since breakfast, and by now I'm behind on my water consumption. It was a total of 8 hrs of pain. Thankfully it goes away and I'm able to drink water again! Doctor told me to goto liquids only again for a while. It's about 7 weeks since surgery and I can't do solid food unless it puréed. I've hurt myself a couple more times trying to salmon and spaghetti O's. Now I'm just to afraid to eat. I stick with the protein drinks, yogurt and broth. If it doesn't have protein in it then I don't bother. My family and friend keep telling me that I have to eat at some point but I'm to afraid and plus no appetite. Doctor says that with the supplement and protein drink I can live fine. Does anyone else experience this pain?

Premier Protein ready to drink has 30g. per bottle. 2 of those and you're done. You can make Soups with double milk (milk mixed with milk powder) for extra protein. Make pudding the same way. Soft scrambled eggs, greek yogurt, tuna.

@@tootie09 May I ask what kind of "protein" you are using? Are they pre-made shakes or are you using powder? Are you using anything besides Water to mix the powder with? Also, keep in mind that even foods such as puddings, Popsicles, yogurts, thinned out Cottage cheese won't really give you much of a full feeling. The do fill you up much more than just liquid but they exit your pouch in the same way liquid would. When can you start off Clear Liquids into full liquids or purees?

Welcome! In general, I’d say have a little more Protein and veggies to fill up on fewer calories. 1. Breakfast: Maybe have a smaller serving of bagel and have some protein, like a hard-boiled egg white or some cottage cheese. Or have a little less Cereal and mix it with yogurt. Depending on how hungry you are, you could have some fruit, too, because it’s filling and not too high-calorie, and can tide you over. 2. Lunch: For eating out, a green salad is usually safe. You can get the dressing on the side and have grilled chicken (protein) on top, and try to order it without fatty extras like salami and mounds of cheese (a little is okay). You can also go for chicken breast and a side of veggies. 3. Snack: Protein Bars (if you like them) keep in the car. Almonds are good, as long as you keep the serving small. You could also go for pouches of tuna or canned sardines or macerel. 4: Dinner: It’s a pretty safe bet to go with a protein and a cooked veggie or side salad, plus a starch if you need more. For example, chicken, fish, or a veggie or turkey burger, plus broccoli, cauliflower, eggplant, etc., plus a small amount of sweet potato or winter squash or brown rice. If you’re willing to cook a little, you can do chili or stir fry – a mixture of protein and veggies. 5. Snack: Yogurt, cottage cheese, protein pudding, fruit. Good luck!

Pudding at the second day?! That's crazy. Full liquids is anything that can run off a spoon. Try some yogurt mixed with a little milk.

Elode, Don’t worry – I sure wouldn’t judge someone who’s lost over 100 lbs in 11 months! I love lox! Smoked salmon is great in terms of convenience and taste, plus Protein and healthy fats. I worry about the sodium, since a serving can have your entire sodium quota for the day. I also worry about nitrites, which are used as a preservative just like in processed meats (like ham and turkey breast and other deli meats). They’re carcinogenic. But I still love lox, especially with fat-free cream cheese. Let’s see, my go-to for breakfast is probably Greek yogurt and blueberries. It’s easy, and healthy, and high-protein. I can grab it on the way out the door, and if I use frozen blueberries, I don’t need to go shopping for it too often. I can pick up what I need in a regular shopping trip. I also love oatmeal. It’s so easy and healthy, considering how filling and delicious it is. If I feel the need, I can have a hard-boiled egg white for some protein. Egg whites and liquid egg substitute are great – you can make them in minutes and add whatever you want, like cheese or turkey or vegetables, and call it a breakfast scramble. Proudgrammy…I remember those dozen donut days!

I eat about 4.5 oz dannon oikos triple zero vanilla yogurt with an oz of (thawed) triple berry frozen mixed berries over top each morning for breakfast. I do find that it fills me up, but I get hungry a couple hours later so I always pack a cheese string for a mid morning snack.

On the weekends I look forward to my cottage cheese pancake (doesn't sound good but it's yummy). Made with cottage cheese, oatmeal and an egg, all blended in my mini food processor. I add vanilla extract, Splenda & cinnamon for flavor. I also have either bacon or turkey sausage with it. During the week, I keep it simple. It's either 80 cal. Yoplait Greek yogurt with a sprinkle of blueberry granola for some crunch or I order an omelette from the deli at work & coffee, coffee, coffee.. That's a must EVERYDAY! Today it was oatmeal with a little raisen and honey. Not picture worthy.

Tonight at my house...souvlaki. Basically pork tenderloin marinated in lemon, olive oil and fresh oregano. I will slice it, skewer it, and put it on the grill. Serve it up with a green salad and tzatziki sauce( yogurt, garlic and cucumber....Yum! Usually I would serve it with rice (pre-op) but tonight maybe sweet potato.

Greek yogurt helps you get protein and if you get plain, you can spruce it up with cinnamon and Splenda or cocoa and Splenda. Lots of ways to make it taste better.

I really like the Pure Protein bars too. I get them at Sams. But, I don't generally have a Protein Bar or Protein shake for Breakfast anymore. For breakfast I generally have an Oikos triple 0 greek yogurt (15 gms protein) and about an hour or so after that (I am STILL hungry!!) I have a P3 (meat cubes, cheese cubes and some unsalted nuts-prepackaged) 13 gms Protein. I am soooo hungry in the mornings!
