I remember the first Protein Powder I bought absolutely disgusted me! I took two sips and told my husband "I can't do this, this is horrible!" I went online and did some research found this woman's blog and Pinterest board; all my protein woes disappeared. http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2015/08/post-weight-loss-surgery-menus-day-in_25.html https://www.pinterest.com/eggface/ I have discovered that with some inspiration, trial and error and creativity, getting enough protein in shouldn't be a problem. I have been eating Oikos Triple Zero Yogurt. It was 15 grams of protein and if I mix the banana Cream or Vanilla Flavor with PB2 powder I can get up to 20 grams of protein per serving. And yes there are more calories in the Triple Zero than the Dannon L&F but it taste way better.

I'm hearing mixed things...
Ashlegal replied to StephOnTheMove's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I never had a pureed phase. The first seven days after surgery I was on a clear liquid, Protein shake, strained Soup, sugar free Jell-O, broth and sugar free popsicle diet. Then on days 8 and 9 I was cleared to move onto low fat cottage cheese, plain yogurt (not pieces), sugar free pudding, creamed Soups, soft cheeses and the like. By day ten I was given the green light for soft Proteins, soft scrambled eggs, canned tuna, shrimp, salmon, imitation crab, ground turkey, moist chicken, lean deli meats in addition to yogurt, pudding, creamed soups, soft cheeses. At a month I could add well cooked veggies, fruit without skin (canned was recommended) and to add small amounts of milk with protein (Fairlife) into my diet. I have handled everything with ease outside of not chewing well and eating too fast. I have to time myself plus eat from a toddler sized spoon. I take a small bite every two minutes and once I slowed down, I had no problems with anything I was given permission to eat. -
You could try Fairlife Skim milk. Or maybe try some unflavored protien powder in Soups or juice or I even mix vanilla Protein powder (about 1/2 scoop) into 1/2 container of greek yogurt. That helps. But mostly I have to tell you that you may just have to keep experimenting until you can find one you like. Your tastes sometimes change, so you have to keep trying. Some good suggestions are Premier Protein (chocolate, vanilla or berry). Try putting some Torani sugar free flavored syrups into the vanilla one to see if you can find a taste combo you like. Or I use Precision Engineered whey Protein Isolate (Chocolate and Vanilla) which I really like and I add in a little PB2. keep trying...

Does anyone have any suggestions on other ways to get in protein? I have only been able to drink 1 or 2 sips lately. Its a brand and flavor I like. I used to love them, but now they repulse me. I'm two weeks post op. I can eat things like yogurt, applesauce,mashed potatoes, and oatmeal

Depends on your system. Check with your nutritionist to be sure. Try a ricttota bake. Basically the filling for stuffed shells topped with cheese and tomato sauce baked in a ramekin. Good Protein and filling. If your NUT allows it, chopped sauteed spinach is one of the easier veggies to take in at first. Spinach is also a good source of Vitamins & Fiber with a bit of protein to boot. Also you can swap out plain greek yogurt for sour creme. I prefer FAGE 0% greek yogurt. It's less fat than regular sour cream and a nice bit of protein.

Pre op diet HUNGRY
cindyw41 replied to Shainadelphia's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I found out Tuesday that my liquid diet includes yogurt and cream soups. (Without fruit and bits of meats) -
I made mine really soft, almost custard consistency. I added a tsp of greek yogurt and a tiny bit of shredded cheese then cooked over a low heat stirring frequently. The softness of the eggs made them perfect for the soft foods stage. I then added chopped spinach and other veg as I got further along. Never had an issue with them. 3 mths out I went to iHop and was able to order a vegetable omelet no problem. I still could only eat 4 bites, but it didn't bother me.

I am a little over a week post op and the Unjury protein is absolutely sickening to me now. Each flavor tastes so sweet that is makes me nauseated immediately. Even the premier shakes make me sick just to smell them. I think it's because I'm on the full liquid phase so everything I'm allowed is sweet (pudding, yogurt, jello, etc.) I'm just so tired of sweet things! Yuck!

Eating too much, still hungry, stalled
BLERDgirl replied to maloney731's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
The goal of this surgery is not to feel full to the max. It's to relearn how to eat until you are sated, not overstuffed and full. I would look at the dosage & time of day you are taking the prilosec. It may need to be adjusted. When I was first sleeved I was taking my omeprazole (generic prilosec) in the morning since I didn't have any issues with acid. Once I transitioned to soft foods I noticed I would feel full in the early evenings. Occasionally I would get this stuck feeling in my chest. Reading up I realized I needed to take my PPI around 2 -3 ish and eventually I upped the dosage from 20 mgs to 40. That made all the difference in the world. I could eat what I was supposed to and I no longer had that weird full feeling. As for eating and drinking you need to do whatever it is to get in ALL your Protein. Early on I find that a combo of eating and drinking Proteins helps. I started each day with a Protein shake that I would make with FAGE 0% greek yogurt, Protein powder and Water served over ice. This was helpful to get a big does of protein and fluids at the beginning of the day. My shakes came in at 12 - 14 ounce and 31 -38 gms of protein. The rest of the day I could coast. Eat what foods I could tolerate and sip on water. Eventually I was able to work my way up to getting my 64 ounces of fluids and 100gms or more of protein. -

I am not a peanut butter fan but I have heard a lot of good things about the dehydrated peanut butter powder and that it is less fat/calories then regular peanut butter but adds protein and great flavor to shakes or what. I have ordered some unflavored Protein Powder that arrived yesterday so I'm gonna try to add that to my Greek yogurt and things today to get my protein up. -
Not losing weight on pre op diet
Karma J Riddell Henson replied to cjd2010's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
my 2 week pre-op diet is only 1 shake for Breakfast, 1 shake for lunch, then I can have a 300 cal dinner, 3 oz of meat, like chicken or fish, a salad with only 1TB of light dressing or a light yogurt or a small piece of fruit, Seems like you all are able to eat more than I can, but in just these almost 2 weeks, I have lost 21 lbs. Good Luck! -
September Sleevers How are we doing?
RobinGee replied to Linaka's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Someone suggested miralax somewhere and I KNOW myself that milk of magnesia works. I wish I had answers for the other things, I just keep trying and trying. I keep protein powder at work so I can put it in stuff and I have these mini quiches I eat on the way to work that we put protein powder in when making them. I try to pick foods with protein like greek yogurt, cottage cheese, chicken or fish. If I have V8 i put protein powder in it though it makes it taste a bit off to me but I can still drink it. I'm still figuring it all out. -
70-90g protein a day
Threetimesacharm replied to Miss Jessica's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
How far out are you? A protein shake should have approximately 25 grams so two of these a day, Snacks roughly 6-10 grams; cottage cheese, yogurt, fish, meats. So your day could easily add to 70 grams and more -
I don't want to eat chemicals...
LynnAlex replied to Ashlegal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I too was mostly eating clean. I was off artificial sweetners for several years. But for all the healthy food, my portion sizes of the delicious food made me super obese. So, clean eating can help in a lot of the micro elements of our body, and long term of the many cancers avoided, but I was creating a un-healthy monster with high triglicidates, diabetic, border-line cholesterol. You will have to bite the bullet for about 3 months, maybe more. I drink 2 Protein shakes with artificial sweetner, because my healthy one with seeds, spinach, yogurt, fruit, etc was way way too many calories. I am about 2 months out. I probably drink 1 Crystal light per week and my 2 daily shakes. The rest of the time I am eating healthy and clean. I can buy organic meat and when my portion size is greater than 2 oz, I can start to eliminate the Protein Shakes. If you want to eat a lot of yogurt and cottage cheese, you may be able to eat clean sooner. -

Colleen Rothberg replied to Trisha213's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Getting mixed emotions about the surgery. I am excited I'm getting it done, anxious its so close yet seems like it will be the LONGEST 1.5 weeks of my life. Totally on liquid diet since Monday- did have tomato Soup for dinner one night . Eating Greek yogurt and drinking high Protein low sugar drinks , crystal light , sugar free ice pops and sugar free Jello. I have been very private about it, only telling 1 friend and my supervisor for the time off at work. I feel uneasy discussing it . Anyone else feel like this? -
Why do we have to diet?
Inner Surfer Girl replied to Ghada's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Another important thing to know about Protein is that we can't digest more than about 25 - 30 grams at a time. So, I try to eat small, frequent meals of no more than 20-25 grams of protein at a time. The most I get is if I drink a Premier Protein shake which had 30 grams. Early out I got my protein from shakes, Protein drinks, yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. -
What are your liquid diet foods? I was glad to hear that mine includes creamed soups and yogurt. Interested to see what others are allowed.

Worried about hunger/fullness
goblue9280 replied to goblue9280's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This has been how my diet has gone the past couple days. I bought a few cans of hormel turkey chili with Beans and Goya refried black beans. I blend each with a little Water and hot sauce into a nice smooth liquid. I then divide each can into 4 small containers... so I have 4 servings of chili and 4 of black beans. I found each makes around 1/3 of a cup (not the 1/2 cup I thought I was eating per the label.) I can eat one of those servings no problem without feeling full. Yesterday my day went like this: breakfast: 2 tablespoons of hummus sipped a premier Protein rtd chocolate shake over the course of the am lunch: serving of pureed black beans w a small sprinkle reduced fat cheese (1 tblspoon)dinner: serving of pureed turkey chili w a small sprinkle reduced fat cheese (1 tblspoon)snack: half of a oikos triple zero greek yogurt a tablespoon or 2 of hummus Had no issues with any of these foods... did not feel overly full after any of it. Got in 60+ grams of protein and 600 or so calories which is what my Dr wants. Also took my Vitamins and had no issues swallowing those, including the large BA multi-Vitamin with Iron. -
September Sleevers How are we doing?
wildcat74 replied to Linaka's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi! I had my surgery 9/21, and had a two week follow-up on 10/6. I'm down 46 pounds since I started this journey on 3/31, and down 15 since the surgery. I haven't had any trouble with the protein shakes, I use EAS low carb or the Premier Protein shakes. I also found a pudding that has 15 grams of protein in it. Another way I found to get protein is to mix my yogurt with a scoop of protein(25g), add the pudding(15g),and add the Premier vanilla(30g) and that gets me to 70grams. I drink it over about 2-3 hours, cause it makes about 20 ounces of liquid. I can take about 4.5 per meal. I drink tea and water. Used to be a coffee hound(pot and a half a day), but that was the first casualty!! I do NOT like coffee!! Go figure. I tried all sorts of combos, don't like it at all. I feel like I'm a week ahead of schedule food-wise, but I spoke to my dr and he said if I can tolerate it, just eat slowly and I should be fine. I have had chicken, cream of wheat, and tomato soup. I wanted to 'eat' to see how I would do, as I have to go back to work on the 14th. I do not want any surprises there....! You could try freezing the protein shakes and then whizzing them in the blender, kinda comes out like soft serve ice cream. Found that out yesterday. One thing I did get a surprise about, was the fact I'm still hungry. Or that I get hungry, I should say. Everything I read before the Op was that the hunger would go away and may be gone for months. Ha! How about 48 hours? Day 3, I could have wiped out my kitchen! didn't of course, just had alot of chicken broth. I spoke to a friend that had gastric bypass 10 years ago, and she said that it was phantom hunger, my brain still had to catch up with my new stomach. It seems to have done that, I don't go stare into the pantry much any more. Congrats to everyone on their progress! I believe that once hurdles are overcome, we'll all do very well!! Look how far we've come so far!! We had surgery!!! We did it!! That, for me anyway, was a major accomplishment!! -

7 weeks post op and still doing 2 shakes per day
shellyd67 replied to shellyd67's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, I can see the calories adding up with fancy shakes lol Mine are 192 calories each because I use 1% milk to mix them, so 1/2 of my daily calories are coming from shakes at this point. It's all I can do ... I get the other 300-400 calories with fish/seafood of some sort and maybe some cheese & yogurt ... -
60+ sleevers please help
IncredibleShrinkingViolet replied to mokee's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Surgery causes skeletal muscle to be broken down in order acids to the site of injury. They promote wound healing, help the immune system, and support vital organs. During healing, new cells are created to repair the damaged cells and new tissue and blood vessels are formed. If the diet is insufficient in Proteins, healing will be delayed. Ideally, you should have slow-digesting proteins such as ultra filtered whey Protein (medical grade), dairy products like cottage cheese and yogurt, fish, poultry, and lean red meat. For loopylulu, the same would apply to you, but you need to stay away from foods that are high purines. I can send you a link if you would like. Peanut Butter would not be a good choice for you because it is loaded with purines, as are any legumes. But almonds or almond better would be good--just watch the calories. -
1 week post-op. How many "meals"?
Spiceyfrog replied to TMG1980TMG's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would focus on Protein, as the previous poster mentioned. It all depends on how much you can eat at one time. If you can only get a half yogurt down, you may be eating 6-7 times per day, whatever it takes to get your protein in. It will all "come together" for you, hang in there.
