I am still pre-op, but I did a lot of crushed pills in my early teen years because I was crazy stubborn about swallowing them lol. Rather than trying to get through an entire Protein shake mixed with medicine, I would try getting the crushed pill down with as little food or liquid as possible. Think maybe a small bite of applesauce/pudding/yogurt, or maybe a tablespoon of a Protein Shake. That way you can get through the icky taste much more quickly and don't have to suffer through sipping down an entire 8oz protein shake that tastes like gross medicine.

I love that apple pie yogurt with a tablespoon or two of PB2 stirred in!

I need advice! on food / stages and carbs
LilyK replied to LilyK's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks so much. In getting my water & my protein shakes. By now I've tried Greek yogurt, egg whites, mushy carrots and some broccoli, tiny bit of cooked chicken. First 2 were great. Vegetables out of the soup and the chicken made my stomach miserable so I'm back to protein shakes & creamed soup tomorrow. Baby steps! -
5 Ways to “Project Manage” Weight Loss for Less Stress and Better Results
Dr. Sowemimo replied to Dr. Sowemimo's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Magazine
Thanks for your question, Glenda, and congratulations on your road to better health! It is very difficult for many post weight loss surgery patients get in enough fluids and Protein. As far as protein, most people need between 60-80 grams protein each day. Always eat a form of protein at each meal and eat protein-rich foods first. Protein-rich foods are soft, moist beef, poultry, fish, low fat cheeses, Beans, lentils, soy foods, low fat or fat free yogurt (preferably Greek style), milk (non fat (skim) or 1%) and eggs. In addition, you may use good quality protein powders and/or Protein drinks to supplement your diet. Look for protein supplements made with whey protein isolate. Make sure you cut all foods into dime-sized pieces and chew each bite 20-30 times. Eat very slowly and pay attention to the signs of "fullness" you body sends you. If needed, have a protein based snack between meals, such as a low fat string cheese or a 100 calorie Greek yogurt. As far as fluids, patients are advised to get in [/size]a minimum of 48 oz of fluids daily - [/size]ideal is to get in 64+ oz fluids daily. "Fluids" do not just mean plain Water - it means ALL calorie free, caffeine free beverages. If it is easier to drink water with flavoring in it -then add it in! Calorie free powder and liquid flavors are available in all grocery stores and can be added to your water. You can also add in fresh lemon, lime, ginger or mint to make water taste better and go down easier. You need to be slowly sipping fluids all day long when you are not eating. Take your fluids with you where ever you go and sip constantly. I hope these tips help! If you have any other questions or are still struggling to get fluids or protein, definitely check in with your bariatric surgeon or practice dietitian. Dr. Seun Sowemimo[/size] Prime Surgicare Freehold, NJ www.primesurgicare.com I just had my sleeve done on sept 2nd. Having problems getting enough protein and water. Any suggestions? I have tried the different brands and DO NOT like any. What now? -

Puree Stage Baby Food Blues
lrcarr replied to lrcarr's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My Doctor recommended baby food to ensure there wasn't any solid chunks. As far as the yogurt and cottage cheese, I have become lactose intolerant since the surgery. It causes horrible gas pains and diarrhea. What appliance should I use so there aren't any chunks? I don't want to buy something expensive. I am only going to be eating like this for a week. Thanks -
More carbs for intense exercise
sharkgirl replied to Daisee68's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Greek yogurt is another option for carbs. Before I saw my trainer (just now cleared for strength training again), I typically drink a yogurt Protein shake or had a string cheese with a banana. Just remember to make sure you are staying hydrated BEFORE you work out and since it's so early in the morning maybe try some Poweraid. My struggle with intense workout is not being able chug Water. Good luck and stick to it! -
What food to stock, before & after
KarenLoh replied to gsusser's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I stocked up on Premier Protein shakes, Light Greek Yogurt (more protein than regular yogurt), and no-fat Refried Beans. The beans have a surprising amount of protein and I could eat them in little tiny containers and they filled me up and gave me a savory fix. I also got no-sugar-added applesauce and ate it daily for the first two weeks. After that, I got over it and gave that up. I still eat the other things regularly though. I bought little 2 ounce containers to split my yogurt and beans up into and it helped a lot psychologically. Now I use the 4 oz containers for food I make in advance on Sundays for the week. Yay 4 ounces!! I am also single and a mess in the kitchen but I have come a long way! You will too. Good Luck. -

Thank you for your replies. I also tried drinking yogurt I sipped by spoon and same feeling. Could it be the gas that's still in the stomach cussing this? -
Purée cottage cheese?
TMG1980TMG replied to sarahbethemails's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was ok'd to advance to phase two on Day 7- the first step was sugar free yogurt, cottage cheese or sugar free applesauce for 2-5 days than continue. I had no trouble with small curd 1% cottage cheese. It was yummy! ???? -
For Breakfast, I love scrambling a few eggs with a little shredded cheese and green onion and/or red/green peppers. I might also do a couple of Morningstar soy links with an egg. Yogurt (greek or other high protein/low sugar) is also good. Or a smoothie using skim milk, yogurt, throw in a few strawberries and handful of spinach and small banana and you've got something that is portable and tasty and high Protein (just watch the banana/fruit amounts). And when I'm really lazy, a half cup of cottage cheese with a handful of raspberries is good for me. (but I also eat several small meals a day, so about two hours later, I have a glass of Mootopia - a high protein, low lactose milk sold by a grocery chain in Texas).

Tummy pains after eating
kradtke5 replied to larac05's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Introduce one food at a time to your new stomach. It appears your tummy does not like hummus right now. Try something less dense. Cooked and smashed carrots, yogurt, cottage cheese or even some sugar free pudding. -
I could only get small amounts of liquids down for the first week or so. When he switched me to full liquids, yogurt went down fine, but Water still caused that pressure in my chest....like swallowing a golf ball. Then, just before 2 weeks post-op, it stopped. I can now drink fairly normally. I don't really get hungry, just feel a bit "empty" in the morning. The full feeling I get now (am on soft foods) is different than before surgery. It is almost painful. I can eat about 4oz. Before surgery, if I felt full and there was a small amount left on my plate, I would finish it. That isn't an option now. When I'm full....that's it....done.

@@Knitchic I researched these ProYo frozen yogurt treats and you're right, while they are high in Protein, they are very high in sugar. You inspired me to come up with a frozen treat which was high in protein but low in sugar and still tasted good, so here goes: Premier Protein pudding Pops 2 cups Premier chocolate protein shakes 1 small pkg Jello sugar-free/fat-free instant pudding (dry mix) Prepare pudding according to package directions replacing milk with chocolate Premier Protein shake. I prefer to use my NutriBullet but if using shaker, shake for 3 minutes or until thickened slightly. Pour into Jello pudding pop molds or any popsicle molds. Jello molds hold 1/3 cup each and are what the Nutrition info is based upon. Place in the freezer to set (approx. 2-3 hours). You can use any flavor pudding. I also made vanilla. Nutrition (Protein Pudding Pops) Serving size: 2 pops (5 1/3 oz.) Calories 124 Fat 1g Carbs 13g Fiber 3g Sugars 0g Protein 16g Nutrition (ProYo) Serving size: 4 oz. tube Calories 140 Fat 2g Carbs 16g Fiber 3g Sugars 13g Protein 20g You can certainly have just one pop but I listed the nutrition info as 2 for a better comparison to the ProYo. Next I will try breaking up either a Quest Cookies and cream or brownie Protein Bar, toasting it in the oven and then pulsing it in my mini food processor. I think adding in a few of the crunchy crumbs would make for an interesting texture to the bar. I'll let you know how that turns out

:How do you get your high protein?
OutsideMatchInside replied to Tracytma's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I don't like beans or yogurt, so I mostly eat fish. I can't eat enough eggs, to make them worthwhile. I try to make sure I have 20g of protein per meal. I eat 4 times a day, protein first. Usually a fish fillet. I have no hunger so sometimes I get busy and forget to eat. If it is near the end of the day and I am short on protein, I have a shake, but those days are rare. -
I was on all liquids. I didn't have to do clear liquids. My man restriction was no thicker than a milk shake. I made my own shakes with protein powder & greek yogurt plus add ins like nut butter or spinach so yeah I was full on all liquids.

:How do you get your high protein?
BLERDgirl replied to Tracytma's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I do a lot of Beans, eggs, greek yogurt ( I use FAGE plain 0% ), nuts, cheese, dark green leafy vegetables and I supplement with unflavored Protein powder. I'm in a Soup mood so I'm making a orca bean/forbidden rice soup with collard greens shreds. Black rice is protein packed and full of Fiber & nutrients. I'll soak the beans overnight and then cook everything in the crock pot tomorrow. I refuse to sacrifice good healthy fiber for protein so I try to get a balance of both. It keeps me constipation free and gives me energy. -
What food to stock, before & after
BLERDgirl replied to gsusser's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Some things vary according to your tastebuds and also according to what your plan allows. I would recommend no more than 2 weeks supply of whatever Protein drink you like. Do a test run on unflavored protein powders. That sweet Protein shake taste got real old real fast. Being able to have some broth or soup with unflavored protein added was a real lifesaver for me. Major brands are Isopure, GENEPRO, Syntrax nectar and unjury. In the event that your tastebuds change post op, you have enough to get by. Stick up on broths and clear soups, greek yogurt, kefir (if you like that sort of thing) and a variety of herbal teas. Speak with the discharge coordinator about home nursing. If you are single and live alone, most plans will cover it. I didn't buy Popsicles, pudding or mashed potatoes even though my plan allowed for it. Read the directions and prep your vitamix. I don't have one but I have a nutra bullet that has been a saving grace. You may need to sleep propped up a bit so perhaps buy a wedge pillow or extra pillows for comfort. -

The STRICT ones in first year......
heidikate replied to Lexuskela's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Walden farms makes a good calorie free blueberry And chocolate and strawberry sauces that you can mix with Greek yogurt and protein powder For a high protein snack/meal -
At about two weeks post op, I had the strangest craving for foods I had not had for many, many months prior to surgery. I craved fried Okra, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, white gravy, corn bread, tamales, flautas and just crazy combos of food. I wanted to dip cheese sticks in hummus and carrots in plain Greek yogurt. It has gone away some but not completely. I don't get it. Oh and when I eat like a thin slice of deli turkey meat with some cream cheese spread, I want Salt n' Vinegar chips. I haven't had Salt n' Vinegar chips in about two years. Weird.
