I do turkey meatballs, smoked salmon, chicken satay, crabcakes (weighed and reshaped for my 20 size) and moist lunch meats with things in them, as LipstickLady said. Banana slices dipped in PB2 powder is a nice change from time to time, or a well warmed (canned in water) peach half with cinnamon on it and a Tablespoon of vanilla yogurt. Just a few of my own favorites anyway.

290 calories for Greek yogurt? EEEEKKKK...
kbales88 replied to marfar7's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My doctor recommended White Mountain Bulgarian Yogurt. It reminds me of homemade yogurt and no additives which is really hard to come by. I encourage everyone to seek this stuff out. -
290 calories for Greek yogurt? EEEEKKKK...
Kindle replied to marfar7's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I buy Chobani or Fage plain Greek yogurt and flavor it with Protein powder....no added sugar AND extra protein...win-win. Tonight I used Torani SF syrup to flavor my plain yogurt for the first time. The pumpkin pie syrup was super yummy! -

Looking for feedback on my pre-op routine
larkspur posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi everyone, I have my long appointment (psych, testing, meeting with surgeon, etc.) tomorrow at UC Davis and I'm hoping to be sleeved in October, but I started 8 days ago doing a pre-op program to get a jump start on living the sleeved lifestyle. Here's what I've been doing for food: - 1 Protein shake in the morning, sometimes a bar. I'm trying out different types of protein to find ones that I like, but obviously my tastes may change after surgery. I'm using reduced sugar Almond Breeze as the base for my powders, and I also have Premier Protein RTD shakes from Sam's Club. - Around lunchtime I'll eat a fat-free greek yogurt and a low-fat string cheese. - For dinner I'll do eggs with turkey bacon, or 4oz of salmon or tilapia with some veggies if I'm extra hungry. I haven't been doing any sauces or starches, but I use salsa when I need a flavor boost. I also have some blended Soups that I'm going to try to mix with unflavored Protein powder, and sometimes I'll do grilled chicken (but I very much prefer eating fish). - I'm pushing fluids, both plain Water and Crystal Light. - I'm avoiding white flour, white sugar, and potatoes, and tracking everything in My Fitness Pal. I am comfortably full all day. - I have a food scale and I use measuring cups to make sure I'm not grossly over- or under-estimating my food. I also walk my dogs at least once per day around the neighborhood, and I've signed up with a pilates studio. I figure if I increase my core strength pre-op, it will make it easier for me to recover from surgery. Also, I just really, really love pilates...it's fat-girl friendly! So far I've lost about 7 lbs just from the dietary changes, and I feel like I am doing really well. I plan to continue following these general principles until I'm sleeved. My surgeon's office has a policy that you should lose 10% of your total body weight before surgery, so I'm looking to lose 31 lbs pre-op. Am I doing the right things? Is there anything I should really change? I'm going to ask the surgeon and nutritionist tomorrow for feedback, but I'd like to hear from the patient's perspective too. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me! -
I need to get back my MOJO
tonya66 commented on tonya66's blog entry in Sunshine2's (Tonya's) Journal
I need my mojo back to make it to the gym. I want to be like I used to be, where I got up at 5am and went to the gym, everyday! I've lost that "loving feeling" since my knee surgery last August. I really need to get it back! My eating has been good, if I could just make it to the gym. I have a busy night tonight, we have our bible/book study tonight and its at my house and its goody night, so everyone will stay late to eat, so by the time everyone leaves, it will be after 9 or 9:30. I will be too tired to make it to they gym. I am going to focus on going Thursday. I really wish I could get up in the am. I just can't seem to drag my butt out of bed in the mornings. I really need to work on this! Here is my menu today Bfast - Light Frapacino from Starbucks (200 cal), 1/2 cup of watermellon. Lunch - 3 oz of tuna, 3 crackers Dinner - grilled chicken 3 oz, spinach salad. snack - No sugar added yogurt with a handfull of granola. wt 177.9 - I know I said I wasn't going to get on the scales, but I did weigh this morning. I will continue to try and not get on them daily - -

Where did everybody go ? How is everybody doing ? I had my 2 week post surgery visit with the surgeon and nutritionist today and I'm happy to report everything is going great. Officially down 32 lb's ! Doctor is very happy and I'm feeling great. Played tennis last night and dr. reluctantly told me ok to go skiing saturday !! I promised "greens only". I also had my barium swallow this morning which was pretty cool (not to mention the very cute doctor who administered it). Get to see the band and all the Fluid draining through live. Nutritionist has me off mushies and now on soft foods. Felt really guilty eating 1/4 cup of chili for one meal and then 1/4 c. tuna and some cooked veggies for another, but really, is that so bad ??? I'll have a yogurt tonight and really am not hungry throughout the day. I am done with the high Protein Shakes, which I am happy about. I know weight loss will slow down now, but I get that. Only concern is, I do not feel real restriction, which I know is normal until the fills start. So how's everybody else doing ?? -
Yes, I'm ten days out and already on puréed but I was on that by the 3rd day although I have not been able to eat any purée only yogurt, jello, and Popsicles. I have taken myself back to the liquid stage bc I know my body best and its not ready for puréed lol

I went grocery shopping today was going to buy yogurt looked at every brand and type and the carbs and sugars are too much. Didn't get any of them. Sticking with my jello

I use plain Fage Greek yogurt and flavor it with various sugar free Smuckers jellies and jams. This has been a life-saver for me!

Seems like every other time i have a "meal" my stomach hurts when i take a small bite or a few seconds after the bite. Tomorrow i will be two weeks out and can start pureed foods. So I'm on yogurt blended cottage cheese, Soup, Water.. you get it. Did it take anyone else a while before they stopped hurting during meals. I'm starting to think I'm never going to be able to eat without being in discomfort.

Stuck on liquids 5 weeks out!
Orchids&Dragons replied to Krizivester's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sorry to hear you're struggling. Are you doing any protein supplements, aka Protein shakes/protein water/protein powder? You shouldn't give up on those until you are getting sufficient protein from other sources. Can you handle Greek yogurt? It's a good source of protein. How about eggs? Also, since you can handle milk, are you using Fairlife milk? It has more protein than regular. Everyone progresses at their own pace. Lots of people aren't even cleared for solids until 6-8 weeks post-op. Also, don't eat anything solid within 3 hours of bedtime or you increase your chances of reflux and nausea. Hope this helps! -
I am starving tonight. I am allowed 3 protein shakes, 2 salads, and one yogurt. Does it get easier?

Soups 2 wks post op
mylighthouse replied to nruetze10's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I was on full liquids, I could not have lentil soup. In fact, all Soups had to be strained, making sure that I didn't have any pieces of food in it. Lentils would be way to hard on your stomach right now. You have to protect your stomach, so please make sure that you are doing full liquids only. Cream soups, broth, yogurt, sugar free pudding, sugar free Jello were all considered acceptable on my full liquids phase. -
I am so excited! When I got on the scale this morning I was below the dreaded 200 lbs. I have been eating around 850-950 calories a day. Chicken and fish are the best source of meat protien for me. I drink at least one protien shake a day. Yogurt and cottage cheese have become a staple. I put the cottage cheese in a food processor and add vanilla and stevia sweetner and puree it. It tastes alot like cheese cake. I always put a tablespoon of natural p-nut butter into my yogurt. It is very satisfing. Sometimes I use salt and pepper and a bit of Mrs. Dash in the yogurt doe a change It has a nice savory taste. Cantalope is a low calorie snack and it has some fiber. Speaking of fiber, I take a fiber pill every day. This whole experience has been constant adjustments and all new habits. Learning about the body that I choose to pretty much ignore, is a daily thing. But, it is so worth it

It's like chalky Greek yogurt. It's not even really an issue, it's not offensive or off putting. It's not unpleasant or gross, it's just, meh.

Of course you can mix protein powder in with a smoothie. It's one of the best ways to get your protein in. My smoothie recipe: 1 c skim milk, 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla flavor), 2 Tb nonfat plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 c. frozen greens (spinich or mixed greens from my garden), 1/4 prickly pear juice (home harvested - lots of antioxidants), mixed berries (strawberries, blue berries, black berries). This has about 35 gm protein and is pretty low carb. Your recipe seems to have a lot of higher carb fruit and not much protein. You can mix protein powder with anything you want. I also mix it in with my yogurt, and in soups (I use a pea protein for soups, as it blends in with the flavors really well.)

I did Isopure (the ones that are bottled)... For food I had the sugar free pudding, sugar free apple sauce, sugar free carnation instant Breakfast, panera bread french onion Soup (yummy... Just strain the chunky parts and no cheese on top), dannon light n fit yogurt, squash pureed, sweet potato smashed, chicken broth, chicken soup well chewed, sugar free popsicles and fudgesickles, I also drank that EAS carb control shake (eeew).... Its tough, but hang in there... It'll pass!

@@scootie, since you can eat dairy, I suggest you get a lot of Protein from FAGE plain Greek yogurt + whatever you want to add to it. I was surprised about how much protein was in it.

You know that saying, you gotta kiss a lot of frogs until you find your Prince Charming? That's what the search for the right Protein drink is. My doctor gave me a list that was a full page front and back of Protein shakes, drinks and powders. It took forever going through that list. I had to rule out stuff I didn't like and stuff I was allergic to. You'd be surprised how many have stevia in them. I went to various drug stores like GNC & Vitamin shop as well as the Rite Aid/CVS types and bought single servings. Next I hit up Whole Foods and bought a few single serving packs there as well. Finally I ordered a few online. It took me 2 weeks to go through them all to find a few that I like the taste of. I ended up with 3: Prosource Plus liquid Protein unflavored. - This was good for mixing in Soups or tea. Ordered online. Orgain Organics premixed drinks - This was great for on the go. Price point was relatively low. I buy these at Walgreen's drug store. CVS whey powder. - I mix these with almond milk. I like the high protein content. Also mixes well with plain greek yogurt for a really great 1-2 punch of protein. Comes in vanilla or chocolate flavors. I buy it at CVS drug store. Other options are plain, greek yogurt thinned with low fat or fat free milk. This is an acquired taste. Plain yogurt is not sweet at all. However mixed with a bit of fruit or whey powder can be pretty tasty. Kefir drinks. They come in many flavors. I prefer Lifeway brand.

Yes. I am ashamed. I ate a cup of nonfat yogurt with 1/8 cup of brown sugar and cocoa. Boy was it good but it wasn’t worth it. I felt much better physically the rest of the day after that, but I got on the scale tonight and I weigh 5 pounds more than I did this morning. So now I have lost a net 7 pounds instead of 12 in 6 days. I’m not going to kick myself over it. For now I guess I’ve got to continue the keto journey even if i do not feel well most of the time. Because I’ve passed out once and almost again yesterday, I am going to call the general doctor tomorrow to schedule an appointment before surgery. Because I don’t think things are right with my body. The bariatric clinic says it is not the diet but I am not convinced of that. It may be that some people just cannot do well on a plan that has only 10 grams of carbs per day and 700 calories. I mean, I am 65 years old.

Help---- how do I even start quitting things ....
scarletwitch19 replied to urukugal's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would try substituting healthier options for your current ones. Try drinking Water instead of diet coke. Or crystal light. Maybe try herbal tea instead of coffee. I found that it wasn't the caffeine I needed in the morning, I just liked a hot drink. It's not easy, and I agree with everyone else, you can't change them all at once. But boosting your water intake and going to the gym regularly are so important post surgery and getting in the habit now will make it a much easier transition. As for sugars, now could be a good time to start checking out healthier sweet tooth foods. sugar free Popsicles are a favorite of mine, and sugar free pudding. I also found healthy choice makes 100 calorie frozen greek yogurts (little bit higher in sugar and carbs than my normal foods, but everyone needs a treat once in awhile!). Most important thing I found pre-surgery is record everything!!! Journal what time you eat and how much. Record how much water you're drinking, and how much you exercise. It can be really helpful to look back and reflect on what you did good and what you can improve on. Good luck!!! You can do this -
My daughter was really bad about eating my pudding cups, I bought her regular ones and myself sugar-free cups. I ended up having to mark mine so that I was sure I would have something at meal times. I think on 2 or 3 occasions my husband had to run to the store for yogurt or cottage cheese for me while I was cooking their "real food" since they had eaten my "healing food" (my daughter's words) now that I can eat anything I want the only thing off limits is my chewable vitamins. They both take a multivitamin, but my daughter thinks mine are like candy, if she only knew how bad they taste, or at least the aftertaste.

OK. so I went to the nutritionist last week -- and besides having lost 29 pds since surgery on June 29th he was upset about my lack of Protein shakes. To be honest, I have purchased muscle milk, Iso-Pure, Monster Milk, unjury, pure protein, pure whey protein stack and a bunch of others and they all taste like medicine! I hate them, hate them, hate them. Now, did I mention that I hate them? I don't mind eating a Protein Bar every now and again but my NUT said they have saturated fat which is bad for your arteries. So, I don't know what to do. I do try to have a protein at every meal. I eat lots of cheese, yogurt, Beans.. BUT, even prior to surgery I never really ate much protein (I wasn't a vegetarian) but I also didn't have a protein daily and my BLOOD COUNT was always great. The only thing I was ever deficient on was Vitamin D. My Calcium was great (even with lack of milk and yogurt in my diet) and I never took a vitamin to save my life. I am just frustrated!!
