Vegan post op diet?
WhoKnows replied to shrinkingjill's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I made a black bean/veggie Soup and pureed it the other day, then added some pumpkin seed Protein powder and had a dollop of soy yogurt. It was quite nice. -
My trick was taking nonfat Greek yogurt and powdered ranch dressing packet mix and have a healthy dip pre op diet

Hello, I'm excited to have found this forum! I have lots of questions all the time and I can't attend the support groups offered in my area because they conflict with my work schedule! I have been dying to talk to someone that has experienced the same things I have! My sweet husband is trying so hard to help but can't give the advise I need! I had my surgery (RY) on September 2nd! It has been a mixture of sad, mad and happy emotions. I could of used this forum along time ago. One month later and I am still unable to eat anything solid! Protein drinks, broths, yogurts and soup with very soft veggies! I am so sad I can't eat normally, food was such a comfort thing for me. I am mad at everyone that can eat whatever they want. But I am so happy with the results, one week after surgery I was off of all diabetic medication and my BG has been normal since, I have lost over 40lbs thus far and I feel so great physically! The sad and the mad are feelings that are psychological and they are far more overwhelming than the happy feeling. Am I alone in this war of emotions?

Hi, I will be 6 weeks tomorrow and had my first fill on Oct. 12. I too had stayed at the same weight without losing anymore for about a week before my fill. I have lost 4 lbs. just since the fill. I am sure it is partially to do with the liquid diet after my fill, LOL! Anyway, the restriction is good, not uncomfortable like I was afraid of. I am definitely eating less. It's hard to eat all my Protein in 3 set meals, so I have to throw in a couple yogurt "snacks". Altogether I am down 30lbs. I had to lose 12 before surgery. My starting weight was 252. lisa.e Banded September 3, 2010

:thumbup:I'm on the 12th also!!! Starting liquid diet on Wednesday of this week. I can have one cup of cottage cheese a day and one yogurt in addition to liquid Protein drinks....good luck to us!!!!! sharon:)

Yes, that is not uncommon and it gets better. However, you shouldn't be eating a potato, that is a waste of your precious little appetite. Replace that potato with cottage cheese or hummus or greek yogurt or some other protein. You need to focus on protein, not carbs. You will feel much better and it will get you in a habit that is going to last the rest of your life...protein first, then vegs, then carbs last.

Sharing some progress :)
khalid151 replied to khalid151's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Great job on the progress. Can I ask what you did during to the two months in terms of food and exercise? Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App Hey sure of course I'll tell you! For me it's started with sugar free apple juice, chicken stock and Water for my first phase. I try during that time to walk as much as I could. Next phase I added puree'd chicken to the chicken stock and added skimmed yogurt. During the whole time I had cut out all sugars and all sources of carbs. My fav go to Protein is grilled fillet of fish or salmon. My source of carbs come from veggies like broccoli. Basically I keep my calorie intake up to 700 calories a day. I also try to hit 60 to 70 grams of protein a day plus as much water as I can. For my exercise, I walk about 10,000 footsteps a day. Not everyday but most days. I also hit the gym 3 to 4 times a week where I do 30 min of cross trainer or the elliptical machine, circuit training. Then I hit the free weights plus the weights machines. That's what I can think of right now. Let me know if you have any questions, I will be glad to help Sent from my Pixel XL using the BariatricPal App -
surgery 1 week from today. question on post-op drinks/sugar
barrbdoll replied to rxkid2384's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I'm a lil over 9 months out and I have lost 120 lbs.... I drink coffee with creamer and splenda usually every day and enjoy a glass of red wine at least once per week. I've enjoyed fresh full sugar lemonade and iced tea on occasion but don't make it a habit. I've never been one to have a sweet tooth either but if I want something sweet I eat it! The difference is now I have CONTROL!!! Before I was sleeved I would eat 8 or 9 Oreos and today... maybe 1 or 2... The same with chocolate.. I have miniatures from Halloween still laying around and I will have a couple and there but nothing like before. Ice cream is the same.. Before my sleeve I could eat a large bowl. Now?? maybe 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup and am completely satisfied. But usually if I am craving something sweet I will eat a few slices of an apple with Peanut Butter or some yogurt. In general... I can eat everything that I ate before my sleeve... except bananas.... they make me puke for whatever reason... LOL Hope this helps! -
Today is week 2 and I feel like crap!
hfdwife0608 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got sleeved on 5/30... I do my walking, the gas pain in my chest is hardly there now which is so nice because that was gonna be the death of me, now my problem is keeping food. Protein drinks, chicken broth, jello, pudding, yogurt.... I take in a little bit and about an hour or 2 later I'm ready to pray to the porcelain gods. What gives?! I tried small bites of actual food thinking it would help (had a stupid moment) because that obviously didn't work. I'm just kinda lost because I know I'm missing out on my protein and nutrients... Did anyone have this problem? Also, I've never had heartburn or indigestion so I'm not sure if this is it but I feel this gurgling ugliness in my chest area... -
Just wanted to congratulate you on your diet advance. I read that another member, also had the chili @ Wendy's and it was a successful meal. It's really nice to be able to eat "normal" foods, while still staying on track. I'm only allowed eggs, yogurt, string cheese, and Protein shakes. Which is no problem, but I think I'm going to turn into a stinkin a giant piece of protein...chocolate flavored. ???? lol

Has anyone wondered if lack of dietary fat can cause hair loss? I am a vegetarian and all of the dairy products that I eat are fat free or low fat--0% Greek yogurt, low-fat cheese, low-fat ricotta, soy products, etc. My surgeon always says not getting enough protein the first 2 weeks after surgery (or on an ongoing basis) is the biggest reason people have hair loss a few months later--so I was diligent during the first 2 weeks and after that about getting mine in. However, I am still losing hair. I take Biotin and I'm not sure if it's helping (surgeon said it might not help, but it can't hurt). My hair loss isn't awful--only I really notice it..my part still looks ok etc. But it's embarrassing when it comes out during the day on my clothes or on a table etc. It was enough that my stylist noticed it. I had my hair colored a darker red yesterday and also had a few inches cut off. I also bought some Nioxin shampoo. I am seriously considering adding even a TBSP of good fat to my diet a day--maybe some olive oil on veggies or half an avocado, etc. Any thoughts?

I know it's Pasta, and there may not be very many of us at the stage of eating pasta occasionally, but this has become a pretty regular in our rotation. I also take it to some of my social functions like bunco or pokeno night with the other spouses around base. 2 cups of Dreamfield rotini pasta noodles 1 cup of Oikos or Fage non-fat Plain Greek Yogurt 3 Tbsp of Miracle Whip Lite 1/2-1 packet of Hidden Valley Ranch Fiesta Dip Mix (they make other varieties if the Fiesta blend does not appeal to your tastes, also add half and see if it needs more for your preferences) 1/2-3/4(per your preference) cup of fresh broccoli florets halved and rinsed thoroughly 1/2 of fresh carrots julienned or thinly sliced 1/4 cup of pimento(jars), drained and diced Optional additions for different flavor profile: Hard boiled eggs, diced and tossed in 5-7 strips of turkey bacon, cooked over medium heat until crispy, drained then chopped into small pieces and tossed in. 10-20 Turkey pepperonis quartered then tossed in I like to add a little fresh lime zest and a couple of teaspoons of fresh lime juice. Reduced fat Sargento PepperJack cheese, or Reduced Fat Shredded sharp cheddar Directions: Cook macaroni as directed on package. Rinse with cold Water until chilled. Add the next 3 ingredients, mix thoroughly. Add fresh veggies, stir until well blended, cover and chill for at least 1 hour before serving. The longer this one sits, the better the flavors taste. I kind of just figure out what is in my pantry, and toss stuff in until it looks good, or sounds good. This is a staple for our household, and a lot of potluck/socials that we attend. There's a lot of variations obviously. Nutrition facts for entire base recipe with none of the additional/optional add ins: 1596 - Calories 67 - Carbs 12 - fat 75 - Protein

I used to make this every weekend for the week for us. It's old-fashioned oatmeal (not quick cooking, not steel-cut, but in between for level of processing), with greek yogurt and fruit. High in Protein, complex carbs and no cook. Woo hoo! Basic recipe at our house for each serving was is 1/2 c oatmeal, 1/2 c greek yogurt, 1/2 c of soy/almond/regular Milk, honey or stevia to taste, 1/4 c either blueberries, or raspberries. Don't use bananas which brown. Multiply times days you want to have this. Mix together in a bowl, put into 2 c mason jars so it can expand. The oats soak up all the yogurt and liquid. Leave in refrigerator at least overnight. Does well up to 5 days for sure. Enjoy! My 13-year old was in charge of making it, so talk about easy. This link shows you other ways to make it for flavors: http://www.theyummylife.com/Refrigerator_Oatmeal

Pre Op Liquid Diet
wondering in ga replied to bakawaka's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, am on Day 4 of 2 week pre-op liquid diet. Today I was hungry, yesterday was terrible - watching football and no Snacks (unless you count yogurt). Is chewing gum allowed? no note on my instructions about gum but yesterday I really, really wanted something to chew!!!! My doc is tremendously picky and strict -- closest thing to chewable food is cottage cheese and/or cream of wheat; other than that it's yogurt, pudding, Jello (all sugar free of course), and cream Soups (strained). Got my order of Protein powders and have been adding the powder to the above foods and to Water flavored with Crystal Light (guess that makes it a shake?). Thinking ahead to months of no eating out makes me sad, so need to get a better attitude. thanks for a place to be honest about my feelings. mel -

Puree/soft Food Suggestions.....
Felicia replied to mchez1986's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm really liking yogurt right now. I eat the yoplait light and the carbmasters from kroger. The carbmasters have 8g of protein which is really awesome since I don't like greek yogurt. I also made some broccolli and cheese soup, it was super yummy but I could only eat 3 bites lol. -
Yucky taste in mouth, and horrible breath!
mbanja replied to katie78's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Does your tongue hurt at all? Maybe feels kinda raw? If so, you might have a yeast infection in your mouth (aka thrush). That would explain the thick white coating on your tongue. It is easy to get rid of, when I get it (from antibiotics) I have my doc call me in a Diflucan pill. It is a pill (only one) for yeast infections and it starts working within 24hrs. It usually clears it completely (for me) in 24hrs. There is other options you can try, eating yogurt, or there is a special mouthwash, or you can just gargle with peroxide (yuck it foams up and is nasty I personally hate doing it). These methods take longer to work than the Diflucan pill though. If it is not thrush, and just bad breath, there is an over the counter breath aid in the toothpaste section at any store and it comes in several forms. Personally I would check with your pcp (especially if you have recently been on antibiotics) he/she may want to see you in office before they perscribe the pill, but if you had been recently they would probably call it in for you an not make you come in. The reason I would go to the pcp and not the dentist is because the dentist for some reason cannot or doesn't want to percribe the pill and most dentists don't know that this little pill exists. Hope this helps! -
I am 17 days post op. I'm on mushies and doing pretty good. I know when I have had one bite too much, I get pressure. I had a protein shake for breakfast, but I hate them, so I only use 1/2 cup skim milk so there is less of it to get down. For lunch I had a yogurt that takes me 30 min to an hour to eat. One snack was 1/2 cup no sugar applesauce the other was SF jello, dinner was about 6 bites of refried beans with cheese, and later more of the same. I also had a protein shot with 42 g protein mixed with Crystal light. There is no way this is 800 calories, which is what I was told was the absolute minimum. But I just can't eat anymore. Any suggestions? I don't want to eat empty calories, but the nutritionist said less than 800 calories would cause me to go into starvation mode and not lose weight.

I am almost 3 weeks post op RNY (2/12/18) and I'm doing great with getting in my fluids but having a really hard time with protein. I thought it would be easier with drinking protein shakes but every time I drink them I get terribly nauseous. I'm on soft foods and tolerating cottage cheese, blended tuna salad, eggs, fish, yogurt, etc but just can't eat enough of it to meet protein goals. anyone else have this problem? I've tried premier protein pre made shakes and syntrax nectar powders. I also have some isopure unflavored powder ive tried mixing a little into my foods but It's basically not making a difference because I can only eat a few tblspoons at a time anyway. does anyone else have this issue? any recommendations for a protein powder or drink that may be easier on the digestive tract?

Not all pre op diets are liquids only. Mine was 2 Protein shakes, 1 serving if Greek yogurt/cottage cheese, 3-4 cups of vegetables, and 3-4 ounces of lean protein. If your dr wants liquids only that's what you should do. But know that it's not a universal recommendation and if your dinner is small and healthy you likely have done no harm.

Hi kmerton, my surgery date is September 11th! My pre-op diet is liquid with some dairy allowed (light yogurt, lf cottage cheese). I have to be on the liquid diet for almost 4 weeks and start on August 14th. How about you?

I read this thread earlier and had a thought, but had to leave before I could post. Now I come back to see Alicia's post, and have two thoughts. Here they are: 1. I don't know about libido specifically, but I've had lots of other hormonal effects. I asked my doctor if weight loss can result in hormonal disruptions, and she nodded her head vigorously. So it doesn't seem out of the question that a drop in libido could be one of them. 2. YES! I got my first yeast infection in YEARS last week a day or so after lovemaking; only the second session since banding. It's awful! I'm going to try making yogurt a regular part of my diet to see if that helps.

Which vitamin supplement is best?
daco525 replied to redsoxfan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I take a daily called Complete One which I purchased from Puritan Pride, you can request a catalog or look online. I take B complex, recommended by my dr. since I am diabetic. I take 600 mg. calcium am and 600 pm., recommended by my nutritionist. I also take magnesium to help with calcium absorption, recommended by nutritionist. I think there is alot of benefits to taking the fish oil. I personally put ground flax seed on my yogurt daily, I think you get more of the omegas from this than the fish oil, but at times I opt for the fish oil. -
11 days post op and frustrated

Hi there. Yes. Full liquids. Tried yogurt. I have to try different soups to give me more variety. I am missing meat. That’s the issue. I want to eat meat and I know that’s not happening.
