Need to hear from VSG to DS revisioners
GottaBeBlair replied to Goldy6575's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
So good to hear your updates! Glad you’re managing work okay! Liquids was the worst. Once I started being able to eat, the heartburn got much better. Rarely is it an issue now. My doc sped along my food reintroductions since he said it was designed for people who had healing stomach lines, not for restriction. So now I’m at soft solids. So I pretty much eat anything soft, no breads pasta rice etc or processed foods. I’ll live here a while. Down 20lbs. I make a nice protein smoothie and then usually have one meal. No major hunger in between. If I snack, it’s something like yogurt. -
My team also said no snacking except yogurt or cheese. I had yogurt every day. Bonus was they added to my protein intake. I also ate a small amount of fruit when I was closer to goal: watermelon, berries. My other occasional treat was a teaspoon of peanut butter. Maybe once or twice a month.

Need to hear from VSG to DS revisioners
Circlesis replied to Goldy6575's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Post op day 11: Revn from Sleeve to DS. Bad glue reaction spread but I think it is thinking about turning a corner. Eating Greek yogurt (key lime chibani and oikos), lean shakes, blended soups like tomato, broccoli cheese and lentils. Still drinking pedialyte mixed with water. The reason is because I am finding it difficult to stay on top of my fluids at work so I want to make sure I don’t get dehydrated. That is an issue I need to take on next week. Next food stage cooking is mushy foods in a couple days. Liquids, I will miss ya but not that much! Onward. -
I always had yogurt, cottage cheese or refried beans. If it was an on the go snack then I had a protein shake or cheese and lunch meat or tuna. That early out from surgery my snacks were aimed to get my protein in. I would also put PB powder or sugar free Hershey syrup in regular or high protein Fairlife milk.

My favorite snack is greek yogurt. So many different flavors! I usually have one for breakfast, but if I don't have it for breakfast, it usually ends up being my 4pm snack to hold me over if I'm having a late dinner.

I was also on soft foods. Looking back at my food log, I see that I was eating eggs, 1/4 c cottage cheese, yogurt, beans, cheese. Then I added 1- 2 oz of salmon, 2 oz calf liver, lentil soup. Then 2 oz chicken, 1/8 avacado, 2 oz ground beef, 2 oz cod,

I had someone tell me about this so I tried it. You take yogurt and a ranch seasoning packet and make a dip out of it instead of using sour cream. Well OMG this was great! Tastes as good as regular dip and you only put as much of the seasoning to taste as you like . Went fantastic with broccoli. And no guilt even better. -
I had the sleeve done 4 years ago. Lost 115 pounds. Gained about 20 pounds over the last year. I ended up with severe GERD, hiatal hernia and gallstones that cause severe pain. 9/6 I had the surgeries to fix all that which includes the bypass. It's been an interesting month. The healing process is different. Food going down too fast will definitely be coming back up (vomiting). Anything not chewed will be coming back up. Premier protein is smooth enough to stay down. Soups like French onion, chicken noodle (minute the noodles) veggie soup. Salmon. 2 good Yogurt and high protein high fiber oatmeal. Stays down for me. It's a big adjustment. I know that this is just a phase that we go through. I can eat boiled eggs now too. Eat slowly-chew slowly-swallow slowly. Drink 60 ounces of water. Follow the doctors orders. You'll loose weight I've seen people successfully keep the weight off with both. They stick to the high protein/low carb and don't eat anything they did before ( that made them obese....like breads, maccoroni, rice, flour, sugar, fried foods). How are you all managing constipation? That's been interesting. Take care and give yourselves room to adjust. Things will get better. We make the best of the tool ( bypass) and it will work for us. Everything will workout for the greater good. We deserve healthy and happy lives and we embrace them daily.

Firstly, congratulations are your weight loss. So wonderful. Apologies to those who love them, but protein shakes & powders are awful. I just couldn’t tolerate them at all. But, if you eat a balanced diet & include protein in every meal, you shouldn’t need protein powders or shakes. Plus, you get lots of other necessary nutrients eating real food. I aim for 50g a day based on my weight. (Some guideline recommend 0.8/kg, others 1g & others recommend 1.2g if you’re older or very physically active.) I get in about 10g at breakfast, 10-15g at lunch, 15+g afternoon snack (yogurt), 15-20g for dinner. If it’s a low day, may be I missed a meal or snack, or wasn’t hungry, I’ll have a protein bar for a late supper or some chia pudding. My dietician suggested adding skin milk powder to my milk to boost my protein & calories. I find it makes the milk taste sweeter, which I don’t like, but it’s fine for when I make chia pudding. (I whisk a big heaped soup spoon of milk powder in a cup of milk.) You might like to try that too instead of protein powders. I did lose more than I intended when I was trying to find my sweet spot to successfully maintain. It doesn’t take much for me to lose or gain so I’m very routine with what & when I eat. My doctors have suggested I put on a couple of kgs, but as that’s likely to happen over the next year or so, I’d rather not put weight on now & more again later. Plus, I actually have quite a small frame (now all the weight is gone). I’m really happy with my weight & size as it is. Catwoman7 is right. Many of us who do manage to lose 100% of our weight can look almost ‘too thin’ at first (you get told this a lot by well meaning family & friends - grrrr) but everything does settle again in time. Adding a few good multi/whole grain carbs to your diet in maintenance helps a lot. I think as you, & others, get used to your new body shape & size, you start to really see yourself as who you are now & the change doesn’t seem as extreme.

1 year after gastric sleeve problems...
California Guy replied to Anna N.'s topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Here is how I get my protein. Half the time breakfast is an egg with Turkey sausage or Nonfat yogurt. Lunch is usually grilled chicken breast or carved chicken/turkey and cheese slices on low fat triscuit crackers. Dinners always include lean proteins such as chicken, shrimp, turkey, lean steak. I prepare a lot of stir fry with these proteins and vegetables. Beef stew, turkey tacos, turkey meatballs, pulled chicken, roast chicken. I prepare homemade soups also. Chunk chicken or beef and barley. My go to snack is a homemade trail mix with 12 components, lots of nuts. I take one bariatricpal multi vitamin each morning. I get all my protein from natural food. I'm not consuming any protein bars or shakes now. They were great when I had the temporary, doctor mandated restrictive diet. I set my nutrition plan based on the documentation I got from the nutritionist. 5 servings vegetables per day 4 servings fruit per day 5 servings grains - rice, cereal, crackers bread tortillas 3 servings dairy - milk, yogurt, cheese 2 lean poultry, meat, eggs I have about 4 oz. of diluted grape or orange juice daily. The only other beverage I ever have is water. I have no deep fried foods, no carbonated beverages, teas, or coffee. Yogurt is the only food I have with added sugars. I also snack on fruit, vegetables, trail mix, and sugar free popsicles (Budget Saver Sugar Free Cherry Pineapple Monster Pops available at Walmart or HEB) are the best). -
I stopped losing weight after 1 month
Starwarsandcupcakes replied to Camry's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Right now I’m eating 600-800 calories a day most days. Varying the calories seems to help move things along for me when I get “stuck” with a stall. Breakfast is usually coffee with protein shake as creamer most days. Usually paired with cottage cheese and diced veggies (kimchi for probiotics and tomatoes usually, sometimes bell peppers). Sometimes I’ll have protein oatmeal or pack of instant grits with turkey sausage in it. Lunch is usually soup with unflavored protein powder mixed in and a wasa cracker, lunch meat a cheese stick and veggies, or leftovers from the night before. Dinner is usually either shrimp or a plant based burger with veggies. Once a week or so I might make a pizza out of extreme wellness tortilla or have a curry or something. Snacks are usually seaweed snacks, pretzels, or yogurt or a 90 calorie protein bar. Sometimes I’ll have apple slices with peanut butter or maybe animal crackers or almonds. -
My surgeon told me not to worry too much at first but to really work at it once I was eating solid foods. I struggled with protein powders & shakes so found some high protein yogurts & could get in up to 30g if I sipped on a drink version throughout the day. I cut it with a small amount of 100% fruit no added sugar juice -about 50mls- as it was a little thick (also added silica & collagen). Some days I’d only eat meat for lunch & dinner to get my protein in especially in the first couple of months. I had an egg for breakfast most mornings. Remember eat your protein first then some vegetables if you can.

This has become one of my go-to easy meals -- sort of a Mexican chicken casserole (not pictured: fat-free plain Greek yogurt masquerading as sour cream): -
Anyone taking a probiotic?
Numbheart replied to over65's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I am also taking Probiotics daily in yogurt or liquid form. It really helps me not to be constipated as it help balance the friendly bacteria in your digestive system. -
Where to start
IWantTheDream replied to mariangel174@yahoo.com's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You can do the shakes for less if you belong to like a BJs or COSCO or Sam club. Or you can make your own worst case you can buy yogurt n put in a blender with some water or Fairlife milk. But you will be fine because all the money you would be spending on food at a grocery store on stuff for you to eat you will now have to use on your shakes n other stuff you need. I am on a budget and I spend less now then I did before surgery. I am only three months out. I have a Fairlife nutrition vanilla shake mixed into my three shots of espresso with 1 tbsp torani sf vanilla for breakfast every morning and lunch is like 3 oz of something n dinner is same . You eat so little after surgery that you will still have spent less then before even after the cost of the shakes. Trust the process it can be very overwhelming but you will thank yourself when it’s done . You are worth this. Oh check the local dollar tree they have premier protein shakes in Carmel and apple cinnamon oats now at $1 each. They are like $ 19.00 at bjs for 12. You could see if your store has them before they sell out. -

Thanks for sharing this! I much prefer getting a plain low fat greek yogurt to the pre-mixed fruit ones (although the "dessert" ones are such good sweet treats) and haven't branched out much for add-ins. -
Weight Loss and Probiotics
GreenTealael replied to peachadee's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Welcome to Club Diamox ( joking I hate the stuff, even if it is necessary) You could be retaining more fluids since you are off the diuretic so perhaps monitor your sodium & fluid intake to see if it makes any difference. Also constipation can mimic gain (physical weight from foods ingested vs physical weight of waste not excreted) so whatever will relieve that issue would be helpful to see the scale move again. When it comes to probiotics the strain/species of bacteria maybe just as important as the delivery style. https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/probiotics-may-ease-constipation-201408217377 https://www.bustle.com/p/the-3-best-probiotics-for-constipation-17940859 From my personal experience I fare better if my probiotics come from foods like yogurt (Lactobacillus Acidophilus, et al.) and especially kimchi (Bifidobacterium bifidum, et al.) vs the widely available gummies that were just Bacillus Coagulans https://wildbrine.com/types-of-probiotics/ Also I believe it is very important to consult with your physician about which stains/species to take/avoid and safe amounts because some have been known to build resistance to certain antibiotics https://www.google.com/amp/s/theconversation.com/amp/kombucha-kimchi-and-yogurt-how-fermented-foods-could-be-harmful-to-your-health-126131 Good Luck ♥️ -

Random question
2Bsmaller18 replied to Isabelmonster's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Bypass here but from what I understand liquids and sliders foods (yogurt, soups, protein shakes) go through fast as in 15-20 minutes. Water I think goes thru immediately since I can drink 8 oz. of water in less that 5 minutes. Solid foods for me I am guessing around 45-60 minutes just based on when I feel full and when I can eat again. I am curious if anyone has the factual info. since I am just guessing based on how I feel and what I have read. -
I like Oikos Triple Zero yogurt. I usually buy vanilla, but they make plain, too. Post-op, it is really hard to get enough protein, so I mix protein powder into my yogurt. I like the vanilla yogurt with chocolate protein powder and powdered peanut butter. That may be too sweet for your taste (since there is also sweetener in protein powder), but you could try it with the plain yogurt.

I have seen it in Walmart and wondered about it. From what I remember, it was kinda pricey for yogurt, but since there's no way I'd be able to eat the entire container in one sitting post-op, it may be worth it. I will buy one as a sample next time I go to the store. Thanks!

I love yogurt and have tried close to every brand out there. My favorite is Two Good yogurt. They are only 80 calories per cup, 2 grams of sugar, and 12 grams of protein so they are very filling. They are not as sweet as Chobani and not as bitter as plain non-fat Greek yogurt. Its a nice in-between. I highly recommend you check it out. https://www.twogoodyogurt.com/lower-sugar-yogurt/

I often used sugar free torani syrups or a little sugar free water enhancer powder (like crystal light or true lemon) into plain fat free greek yogurt. It was amazing to create so many fun flavors and fine tune them to my tastes.

A lot of foods are just too sweet for me since surgery. (A bonus.) I eat Danone YoPro yoghurt - don’t know if it’s available in the US. A 160g tub of passion fruit yogurt has 15g protein, 94 cal, 0.5g fat & 5.8g sugar. I don’t find it overly sweet. It has a slightly denser texture - not silky smooth.Their drinking yoghurt has 30g protein in a 350ml bottle & similar ration s if fat, sugar, calories. My dietician initially suggested Chobani but that was really too sweet. You could always purée fruits you enjoy & add them to plain yogurt. You’ll get the sweetness from the fruit & not from the sugar/sweetners in syrups. I gurgle terribly when I have yogurt but it’s a good source of protein for me each day so I put up with the growls, whines, moans & gurgles. 😁 Good luck with your surgery.
