How do i get my calories?
Chris R replied to Wls4me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Cottage cheese is a really good source of protein. It's also very tasty if you scramble 1/4 c of it with an egg. You could also try mixing flavored or unflavored protein powder with your greek yogurt to boost protein and calories. -

Starting weight 350 Weight at surgery 330 Surgery Date April 12, 2012 Reached 280 by August 2012 with one fill October 2012 had a second fill. I have remained at 280 up until July 2014. Started gaining weight July 2014 Current weight 313 Had my third fill March 17, 2015 At this point I feel like I am starting all over again. I admit that I feel off the "band" wagon and let my emotions and stress get the best of me. I didn't care about my eating and didn't exercise at all. I was at a point where I was eating like I didn't have a band. I could eat so much and was hungry all the time. After all the weight gain and my eating habits my doctor gave me a huge fill. I was filled with 5 cc of liquid and I already can feel it working. I am still on liquids only. I was allowed to eat a yogurt today and I could not eat the whole thing. I got so full. I am eating healthy again and working out, I feel great!!!!!! So now that I am back, Does anyone have any tips? Anyone been here before? My goal weight is two fold: I want to reach 250 by this fall, Then 200 by spring. I will be satisfied with 200 for my Lifetime!!!!

After VSG, what is something you have to help you feel human!
kim2002 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm almost 6 weeks post op! My eating options are SO limited right now, there are a couple of things I crave on a daily basis....I LOVE McDonald's Unsweetened Tea w/Splenda. I get a large and sip it over time! It's a lot and I'm getting in plenty of fluids!! (Water makes me vomit, twice last week) Also I'm loving my Greek yogurt, it's sweet enough to feel like I'm having dessert!! What are your must haves? Kim -
Constipation From High Protein Diet?
jahmajor replied to TiffanyC's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am on pain meds for a nerve damage and also battle constipation. I finally bought a vita mix and started adding whole prunes to the soymilk flavored yogurt whey powder carrot and whatever else is around morning smoothy. The smoothie prunes seem to have made a big difference. I also take a fish oil and 2 ducolax a day.AND when it gets bad I go for a colonic cleansing at a spa, what a releif and a lot cheaper than the ER. Good luck and don't let the stuck up days stack up. -
Hi Erin, well that is a good thing actually. You have been so sick it is good to hear that you are hungry. Are you still in the liquid stage or are you in the mushies? If I remember right you are in full liquids. You can eat the potatoe soup you were talking about or any kind of broth and probably pudding and yogurt now. You definitely need to start putting something on your stomach now.
-
the potato soup was good pudding tasted weird and I think I'm going to try yogurt today hopefully we got the right kind I'm gonna try the drinkable one has 5 grams of sugar in it it was light kind don't really know the name on the top of my head
-
LOve that we are all helping each other. Try the oikos triple zero. It has zero calories zero sugar and zero fat. 15 grams of Protein and the GENEPRO should up your protein. You can also blend the yogurt with your protein and add a splash of milk to make it easier to go down.
-
No unless you have additional symptoms. They told me the zero yogurt was the best.
-
Oh, well thats good to know, i'll jot it down and pick it up...i'll let you know how i make out with it, do you recommend a brand name greek yogurt. what is the difference between greek yogurt and reg. yogurt..thanks,...sorry for being a pain.......vicki

Well, first I want to give big welcome all the new September banders! The shakes my doctor recommended, and I like all three: Boost Diabetic (Glucose Control) Carnation Instant Breakfast (No sugar added) Blue package unjury I like that the Boost and Carnation brands have added Fiber. They all seem to be pretty filling, and I don't get hungry quickly after drinking them. Nina, this is a quick list of what I can have besides the two daily shakes. I am allowed to substitute a shake for the meat and bread, but I live for that sandwich. I never thought a sandwich could taste so good. haha My diet allows for one fruit, no limit on non-starchy veggies, one low fat yogurt, two slices of light whole wheat bread, 4 oz of lean turkey/chicken/ham or roast beef, 2 oz of V8 or tomato juice, and 10 baby carrots (I've only eaten a few of those though).

I'm hungry but I feel sick?
Miss Mac replied to oolismom's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
You mean I am not the only one? Yeah, not so hungry during the day - easy to get queasy, but at night when I ought to be sleeping, that's when I want to be awake and hungry...like I am on my old third shift schedule from when I was working. I even use a sleep mask to help darken the room, but even if I go to sleep at 10pm, I will wake up an hour later and be awake most of the night. I try not to eat to the point of damage, but like last night I had 1/2 cup of yogurt with 1/4 cup of blueberries. And I keep sugar-free Jello in the fridge. Also, I stay away from bananas anytime after lunch, and go for things like a boiled egg. I keep a few of those on hand for hunger attacks. Seems like at night I can eat the things that would make me queasy during the day. I don't get it. I track my calories and am still keeping it around 800, and am pushing myself for 100 ounces of Water and 100 grams of Protein, but still, I seem to be on an inverted schedule. It's crazy. -

My surgery was November 9th and I still have not had a bowel movement. I drank two 8 oz. protein shakes today and a little yogurt. Is this normal not to have a bowel movement by now?

I'm tomorrow Oct 1st, I started my Pre-Op diet on Sept 17th which consisted of 1/2C oatmeal and light yogurt for breakfast, lean shake and pudding cup or applesauce for lunch and dinner. To cut hunger I can eat SF Jello, Popsicles, and chicken broth. It is now 4pm and I can only have clear liquids and nothing after midnight tonight. Surprisingly I am not hungry.

I found just about the portions I give my son I have. I was watching Rachel Ray a couple days ago and she was serving up some plates of food and my first thought was "holy cow, I couldn't eat 1/4 of that". I'm pretty new to this, only 6 wks out, but my outlook on food is really different. I was a big burger, potato fan but currently the thought of blended burgers doesn't appeal to me...lol I'm still eating mostly soft foods, yogurts and protien puddings, but I've begun to add shredded chicken. Family support helps alot! I even take lunch to my husband everyday, sandwiches, burgers, fast food whatevers, and it doesn't bother me, the urges are gone. hope this helps

It depends on what stage you are in. I am in the "normal" food stage and I drink protein shakes or have yogurt or have a crust less breakfast quiche.

Don't ever want to gain weight again
Bobby46 replied to VGB's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That was a while ago but I still eat about the same types of foods. I ate pretty much what I wanted, just really small servings. I started out at about 1/4 to 1/2 cup but am now up to 3/4 to 1 cup. Meatloaf, salmon patties, fish, chicken, meatballs. A little high Protein whole wheat Pasta, very little, it gets gummy and fills me up still. I love minute made whole grain bowls....I add shredded cheese and salsa to them. Soup...so many to choose from. I don't eat the "lite" ones. We eat so little I haven't felt the need to be that picky. Mashed potatoes with cheese....every now and again, not very often Hormel turkey chili Refried Beans with cheese. Egg with laughing cow and spinach. Taco meat with lettuce, tomato, onion and cheese. Turkey or Roastbeef with light creamcheese or laughing cow cheese spread on them and rolled up. Imitation crab with lite mayo. I eat that, tuna salad, chicken salad or egg salad and peanutbutter and jelly on special k cracker crisps. Triskets with humus. sugar free Jello and pudding. Cheese sticks. Greek yogurt with a little honey or trailmix if I want crunch. oatmeal with dried cranberries. Sauteed mushrooms and onions with turkey lunch slices So many things.....just eat what you like. Freeze what you cant finish. : ) -

did anyone start the mushy/pureed stage a day ahead?
Erin18 replied to Erin18's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I couldn't get anything down besides water and Gatorade g2 first week cause of nausea now I can (: it's all good I didn't start mushies yet cause it's 9am so I grabbed a yogurt I want to ask first now (: -
Just had frozen yogurt with fruit and granola for dinner and I feel horrible because it wasn't a protein packed dinner and probably had too much sugar...I follow the high protein diet closely and eat a lot of unprocessed foods..and I exercise regularly...why do I feel so damn guilty? I hate being so hard on myself but I just can't help it!

Cookeeez: absolutely correct ! Nena: you aren't eating enough calories period. For my body I found that if I eat less than 1000 calories a day, I don't lose weight. I try to keep it under 1200 and definitely get atleast 70g of Protein. This isn't a "die" it, it is a "live" it . Feed your body good things and the sleeve will keep the amounts under control. Let's see... yesterday I had B: 8 oz coffee+creamer; 6 oz carbmaster blackberry yogurt; 6 triscuit L: 3 oz pork chop; 1 oz cheddar; 1 med. apple D: 3 oz steak; 1/4 cup baked beans; 1 small potato; 1 pat butter Snack: 1 cup fresh fruit salad; 10 slices pepperoni Total: 1257 calories, 120g carbs, 53g fat, 79g protein Kind of a high calorie day, too many carbs & fat, but great protein :-)
