@@Amylou My nut just recently recommended Quark! It's not bad. He also recommended the Oikos Triple Zero yogurt these days. I don't know when that came out but it seems fairly new. Those are pretty good, too. They are in a black container. I like the Isopure drinks but they are an acquired taste. Once you like them, you like them but the first time you drink them they don't seem good at all. Doesn't take long to like them though!

Greek yogurt? I've been eating about 1/2 cup of egg whites with about 1/2 ounce of shredded cheese.

My LSD ???? is two weeks. Breakfast and lunch are a protein shake or bar (or two Greek yogurts), dinner is 3 oz light protein, small carb (6 crackers, 2 low cal slices of bread or 2 oz potato) and salad with one tablespoon light dressing. Also have two small pieces of fruit as snacks and can have all the green veggies we want. Of course the day before is all liquid. So mine isn't too bad. The hardest thing for me has been giving up carbonated drinks.

At that point I was allowed oatmeal, grits, yogurt and cream of wheat. Oatmeal never went over too well but the rest were great!

Hello everyone . So I had my surgery on August 18th. Everything went ok and now I am in the purée stage . My question is has anyone ever experience not feeling full with the recommended ounces in the purée stage . For example, I am only suppose to eat 4 ounces of yogurt and I feel like I can def eat more then that . Of course I do not eat more because I do not want to jeopardize this journey . I am now allowed to eat eg whites which I did for the first time yesterday . My dietician told me that I can have two egg whites . Had them yesterday and didn't feel full at all. After reading some post in this site it seems like people are getting full quickly and I feel like I don't. I have been keeping up with my protein and I have also been keeping up with my water intake so what gives ??? Yesterday was pretty rough for me, I was up late watching movies and I started to get hungry . Usually I would grab a bag of chips or some sort of other snack before the surgery and yesterday for the first time I couldn't so that was a little hard. Any thoughts ???

I cannot express how happy I am today. We went on a 7 day cruise to Alaska and I did not even gain one lb. First time in my life that I did not pack on at least 10 lbs while on vacation. A Cruise ship as you know has tons of food everywhere, but my band kept me in check. I ate a good bit of fish and some veggies. Did not do the Pasta or pizza . I did eat some frozen yogurt and one night I had lobster ravioli which was really light and delicious but couldn't eat the whole portion. I even drank some wine with dinner. One of the best things was riding horses in Skagway and watching whales in Juneau. I walked all over the ship everyday I explored . My niece and her husband joined us on the trip from Vegas, they are both younger than I am but both are out of shape. They said I was like the eveready bunny and they couldn't keep up. I cannot tell you how different I am today than 3 years ago. I am living the life I want and feel like a million bucks. I am so thankful for my lapband . horseback riding in Skagway was great. -
How do I know I'm full?
OutsideMatchInside replied to theatrejo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That is a lot of sugar between the apple juice, the carnation instant breakfast and the yogurt. Why not have all Protein Shake? The rest of that is basically devoid of protein and full or carbs/sugar. -
Yes don't worry so much about calories. Focus on Protein. I just recently found something called Quark. It's by the yogurt in my grocery store but it's actually a cheese. It's very similar to Greek yogurt - similar texture and taste but not quite so sour. Best part? Quark is 80 calories and 14g of protein. So, a Quark, a Premier Protein shake and some cottage cheese and I'm golden for daily protein.

How do I know I'm full?
theatrejo replied to theatrejo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This morning I've had 1 oz Protein shake, 2 oz apple juice, 1 oz carnation instant Breakfast, and 1/2 Whipped Yogurt (Yoplait). Now I am starting on Water to get some of this "sweet" out of my mouth. Ug. I'm not focussing on food, just hydrating. Its just hard to hydrate and meet my goals. Im at work already so sometimes I get caught up and forget to drink. I set a timer on my phone. Lets see if that helps. -
How do I know I'm full?

@@theatrejo -time yourself and measure. If you are eating for more than twenty minutes you are probably full. I would stick with hydration being you priority at this point. Yogurt is a slider so its hard for me to feel full on it at four months. I have pretty much been able to eat a 5oz cup from the first day of soft foods on 3 days post-op. -
How do I know I'm full?
Sharon1964 replied to theatrejo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This early, I'm measuring everything - my stomach isn't going to tell me when I've had enough. One-third cup is a meal for me. Half of a greek yogurt container is a meal for me. Half an avocado. -
How do I know I'm full?
Bufflehead replied to theatrejo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You should be more afraid of dehydration than "over doing it." Just keep sipping constantly, slowly. Especially this early out, your signals about "full" and "hungry" are completely messed up (due to the surgery and your still-healing nerves and tissues), and you can't rely on them. You need to just aim for your targets in terms of fluid and protein and work as hard as you can to get there. Sip slowly, and take small bites of yogurt, and back off for a little bit if you get really uncomfortable. -
I'm so afraid to over do it that I am no where NEAR getting in enough liquids. I am day 7 post op. I get hiccups but I get them whether I drink or not. So I can't use that as a tool to know I am full. I am just starting full liquids today. My Dr has allowed me yogurt and I am eating it very slowly. Im just having a hard time knowing when to stop and when to keep going. Oh and the thing I miss the most? Gulping down a drink! Sip sip sip sip sip!!!!

I can't eat without getting sick
karla_newman replied to karla_newman's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
If it were me, I would call my surgeon. In the meantime, go back to things that are easy on your stomach. Mashed potato, pureed soup, mashed avocado, yogurt, pudding, scrambled eggs. I wish I could eat scrambled eggs. They make me sick too! -
Anastasia, I didn't use the restroom for 5 days. It'll eventually happen. After I was banded I couldn't eat anything besides jello and maybe yogurt. A week post op, im now onto scrambled eggs and protein shakes. The gas pain will eventually go away as well. The walking really really helps, the pain lasted about 5 days for me. It will get better!! Good luck

Pre-Surgery Diet - What's yours
Mistie replied to magicalwoman's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine is very similar to yours. Breakfast and lunch can be a Protein shake (200 calories or less) or a 'Meal Replacement,' which is a protein Soup, either the brand the doctors' office carries or any other brand 200 calories or less. Dinner is a Lean Cuisine, Weight Watchers, etc. type meal of 400 calories. If the meal does not have enough calories, I am to eat something else to get to 400 calories, such as a side salad, green Beans, etc. I can also have two Snacks, between breakfast and lunch and after dinner - either a protein shake, piece of fruit, or yogurt. This is for 4-6 weeks pre-op. -
Such a learning curve... Now the hard part begins
CowgirlJane replied to maggie409's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I love fruit and it has many good Vitamins, but frankly, it is really just sugar in a healthy looking package. i eat very little - but do eat berries daily. As much as i love yogurt, if you are trying to control carbs - most yogurts have way high sugars and carbs. Consider eating plain/unsweetened yogurt (use those berries as sweeteners!) or buy a brand like carbmaster that has a moderate carb count of 8-9. Many yogurts are over 20 carbs. Protein bars are another high carb surprise. I moderate both - even now in maintenance. So, just a few suggestions, change the Breakfast to be more protein and lower carbs and I bet you will see a difference. I like to make egg beater omelette with veggies and low fat sausage - lots of protein an I get veggies in. Consider giving up ranch dressing and try something like a spritz of olive oil and balsamic vinegar (white is my favorite) - super low carb and olive oil is a very healthy fat. -

5 months post-op, lost 11 lbs last two months! HELP
maggie409 replied to cockapoomom's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
First, I would say don't beat yourself up. You really do have it in you to do this.... We all do! Second, stop drinking alcohol on the weekends. Especially 4-5 drinks. That is a lot of empty calories and heavy guilt. I completely understand the stressful job. I started carrying a cooler with me that has P3 Protein Snacks, Greek yogurt, Water and Protein shakes. If I get stuck or have forgotten to eat I have something healthy to fall back on. No matter the job, everyone is allowed breaks and meals. Is there a gym nearby you can join? Can you walk some steps or walk around the parking lot? Definitely log your food. I am absolutely overwhelmed with learning to eat a balanced diet, but like I said above, we can do this! We have it in us. The only other suggestion I can make is start over with a week of Clear liquids. Life is all about do-overs. I read somewhere once that we can't let failure define us, let getting back up and starting again and again and again and not giving up define us. -
Such a learning curve... Now the hard part begins
maggie409 posted a topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Such a learning curve... Now the hard part begins Who knew that eating a healthy balanced diet was soooo complicated?? Well not me. No wonder I've been overweight for 30 years. No wonder my children have no clue about nutrition. For some people, the surgery and recover may be the hardest part. Maybe even the low calorie count is the hardest part. As for me, the hard part begins now that I am eating a regular diet. I want to learn about balanced diets. I want to eat healthy. It's about so much more for me than just eating little portions. Trying to figure out how to get in the right amount of Protein, vegetables, fruits, starches, dairy, and fats. On top of that keeping an eye on calories, fat, carbs, protein, and Water count. Today I had nothing that I consider to be a high carb food, yet my carb count for the day was 110. I went back through each food to figure out where the carbs came in. I had a couple of salads today, fruits, healthy Proteins and fat free Greek yogurt, yet my fat count for the day was 43 gr. Way too high. I have been trying to get between 900-1000 calories and I was right at 920 so I decided to have a Greek yogurt after supper. Then I realize I forgot to log something snd my calories shot up to 1130 for the day. Please don't take this as complaining. I'm so glad to be going through this. I am so glad to have made this choice. And I LOVE to learn new things. It's just amazing to me what goes into this. Being healthy is tough!! Lol I learned a lot ever day. but the most shocking thing I learned today was that a margarita chicken flatbread from Chili's that they tout as being healthy, has 1,450 calories!!! Wow, I used to eat that for an appetizer. This was my meal for the day: BREAKFAST: 1/2 cup strawberries; 1/2 banana; 1/8 cup cashes; danon light&fit vanilla Greek yogurt LUNCH: 4 ounces mango grilled chicken breast; 1 cup fresco salad SUPPER: 2 oz pouch salmon with picata sauce; 1 cup salad with 1 Tbl of ranch Greek yogurt and 2 SF Popsicles through the day. I did take my supplements and got 64 ounces of water. -
Losing my previous Deposit and Switching to Bariatric Pal
Mountaingal replied to KSNurse's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Dr Lopez called me within 1/2 hr of my initial inquiry. You can pay the deposit right through Bariatric Pal , You will also hear from Dr T who I think is an internal medicine Dr and reviews your health questionnaire. I know they are expecting or already have a new nutritionist. All your questions will be answered post haste. They will pick you up at the airport, get you back there and spoil you in between. The ice pops in Mexico are great and so is the liquid yogurt. Much nicer than ours. We you go back to recovery house from the surgical clinic you will have the best broth you have tasted.Had surgery approx a month after the initial contact. Did a two week pre-surgical diet. I am sure anyone at Bariatric Pall will talk to you any time you have a question including Dr Lopez. He is so nice, makes you feel right at ease. Have you looked up his FB page? I had surgery on July 17th and came home on the 21st. Two nights at the clinic and two at the recovery house. Since I got in late on the 16th I spent that night at the recovery house as well. So I guess that makes me almost 6 weeks post surgery. Anything else I can help you with just ask away, -

Had gastric bypass 8/20/ 15, slow revovery?
terrydumont46 replied to zackly's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
you have sutures inside that still needs to heal. you don't want to tear a suture or get food caught in the suture line. i was allowed on stage 2 to have soup that was emulsified so there wasn't any lumps in it. i even made my own using chicken beans and southwest flavors. i had 1 protein drink either vanilla protein with crystal lite fruit flavor or chocolate in decaf coffee for a poor mans mocha. a lite and fit greek yogurt and soup. ask your doctor about adding some soup to your stage 2. good luck
