Wrapping My Brain Around My Post-Op Diet
NYJenn replied to MrsGamgee's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I did a lot of cottage cheese and yogurt. I wasn’t allowed oatmeal or other carb heavy things -
How can I get in all my protein?
BLERDgirl replied to TJBintheOC's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's takes some time to gradually work up to hitting those goals. Each day just strive to do better. Right now it's slow going. Coco Libre is about 15 gms of protein and I think 11ounces. I would strive for at least 3 of those a day. Have the first at 8 am. Make sure that any food you eat is protein rich. Yogurt, cottage cheese, soft scrambled egg (if you are allowed at 3 weeks). It's 64 ounces of fluids, not water although it should be primarily water. So if you drink 3 coco libre a day that 33 ounces of fluids and 45 gms of protein. If you are drinking 32 ounce of water, you will now have hit your Fluid goal. (33 + 32). Depend on the type of yogurt you choose and/or if you can have eggs you now only need 15 additional gms of protein. 2 ounces of FAGE 0% greek yogurt is 6gms of protein. A large egg is 6 or 7 grms of protein. -
Ideas For Puree Stage?
Carrie's Journey replied to LorenaVaca's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can't. I'm almost 3 weeks out and can only have Soup (not creamy or chunky), cottage cheese, eggs, Greek yogurt, tofu...I think that's it. I think next week I can start tuna, chicken, and egg salad but I'm sure they'll tell me no to any crackers. -
Mushy vs. Pureed
ParrotheadCathy replied to jaysmommy1106's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
grits, yogurt, sugar free pudding, sugar free popsicles, puree vegetable beef or chicken noodle soup in your blender. You can puree pretty much anything, like spud mama says -- it may not always look good, but it tastes the same. -
I hope so! It feels like my stomach wants me to put something in it to calm it. So far today I've had two extreme episodes. First one was a little over a half hr after lunch (oikos yogurt), I wanted to start my water drinking but took two tums instead and fell asleep, pain went away. The next happened 2 1/2 hrs later, stomach obviously empty. Took two tums again and pain subsided. Both times I had started taking small sips of water to hydrate btw meals. Water never bothered me before.

So, here I am, 1 month to the day since I had surgery. It's been quite the ride, and I'm a bit.....frustrated, still. The only real weight I've lost was during my first week on liquids. I'm still not understanding how I can eat 1/4 of what I used to eat, and still not lose any more weight. It just doesn't make sense to me. I have an apt for my first fill this Wednesday, the 19th. I know they'll make the band tigher, but what I don't understand, is how that will help me lose weight. I'm going to be eating less than now, so how will this make me lose weight where I couldn't the last few weeks? What's the difference, eating even less? I met someone this weekend that had the sleeve done last week. After talking to her, I wonder if I should have gone with that procedure instead I know, too late now. I hate being discouraged because that's doesn't help my journey. I'm having doubts on everything I'm doing and eating now. My surgeon only had us do liquids for a few days, then very soft food (purees and such) then select soft foods. I've been pretty much eating cottage cheese, yogurt, PB, homemade soups, and turkey chili. Well, I have another nutrition class before my fill, so I'll ask questions & see what's going on. I'm sure that I'm not getting as much protein as I should be either, but I don't think that's the issue? Quite the negative Nelly here today. Could be because I have a cold, and am feeling a little run down. The good news is that I'm already on my 4th bottle of water I feel so thirsty... I'll post again after my fill along with notes I take from the Nutritionist. It's gotta get better than this, and.... I'm sure it will...in time! :-)

I am currently on full liquids and I am trying activia vanilla yogurt for the first time. It's in a 4oz container. Is this too much. It's regular yogurt not Greek. I am letting it liquefy in my mouth before I swallow (that sounded gross.) what are your thoughts?

Just had my pre-op appt y'all, and after spending a decent amount of time reading all the wonderful info on this board, I'm feeling concerned/confused. I'm being banded next Thursday at Northwest Weight Loss Surgery in Everett, WA and we reviewed the post-op diet. I want to be succesful. I will follow what they tell me to do. BUT... ...they have recently revised their post-op to be: 1 week full liquids (which includes applesauce, yogurt, pudding), followed by 1 week of mushies (soft fish, scrambled eggs), then on to more solid foods. First fill at 4 weeks. I fully understand the need to have the band heal and settle in place. I'm seriously thinking of extending my phases to have an extra week of liquids and an extra week of mushies. I'll be damned if I move through things to fast just to cause issues down the road. Am I nuts??

14 Days Post Op and Confused
als74 replied to chriss's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 3 weeks out and finally on purees. It is wonderful to eat something and feel full. I was stuffed after lunch today, and still not really hungry. That being said, I go home where everyone is eating chips and cookies, and it smells soooo good. My advice is to tough it out. I mean, this will not go on forever, and think about other diets you went on. You usually last what, a month or two? Pretend this diet will end in and week or two (which it kind of will) and you go on a new diet. I loved my refried beans, cheese, and spinach today, because all I could eat before was cottage cheese, yogurt, and soup before. One step at a time... -
Tighter In he morning
DivaStyleCoach replied to jasmin20's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Afternoon, All! I am definately tighter in the morning. Around my TOM it gets worse - I often go to liquids in the morning for a few days. I normally can't eat anything solid until around 11 am. I will have yogurt or Cereal in the morning (sometimes even cereal won't work), or if I'm super-tight, a Protein shake. lunch is usually okay for a salad or Soup, but nothing too heavy - sandwiches are out at this point, and anything more than a saltine gets stuck. dinner is my most "open" time, so I have to be careful not to overdo it then... I'm 8 months out (banded in mid-November 08) and you can see my progress on my ticker. I've had 3 or 4 fills, I forget which, and I think I'm at my sweet spot. Losses are pretty regular...loving it so far. -

Running out of ideas of what to eat! I'm going crazy ????
LisaPunkinHead replied to AllisonK1986's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I hate to break this to you, but that's the post-op diet too. It's even more restrictive immediately postop and for many months after that. Protein, veggies, yogurt. That's about what I eat. -
Your surgeon's post-op liquid/food phases
ShrinkingPeach replied to Kgl24's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Not crazy at all...it is amazing tho! Enjoy it and keep up the compliance. I had to do a 2 week pre-op diet of Protein shakes, sf pudding, light yogurt and Water. Week one post-op was 3 Protein Shakes a day with all the water I could do. Week 2-4 was soft foods (including eggs, flaky fish and deli chicken/turkey. One Protein shake a day and fluids. Week 5 was reintroducing regular foods slowly. No nuts til 3 months. Mine was relatively easy compared to some but I did tolerate everything well and have had no issues. 4 months post op and down 61 pounds since surgery and 91 total from pre-op to now. -
I am 3.5 weeks out from my surgery and feeling pretty good. I've started exercising again and had a meeting with my nut last Friday. She told me I should be eating around 800-900 calories right now and not be hungry. I'm not sure if she forgot/didn't know that I have absolutely no fill..... I am hungry! I ate 1 scrambled egg and 1/2 cup of high protein Greek yogurt for breakfast and I didn't even feel full afterwards. I won't get my first fill until August 1st (I'm going to call tomorrow and ask if I can come in sooner). I am officially in bandster hell. I'm keeping my calories around 1100 (what my nut said was my upper limit) and I'm exercising daily (walking for 45 minutes fast or spinning or elliptical) but I'm hungry and cranky all the time. How did you all get through bandster hell? I just need some tips to get me through until I can get a fill! Sooo hunnngggrryy

So my first day on puréed and I've had some refried Beans,wonderful!!! Tonight for supper I chose to eat some Greek yogurt, my NUT said today I prob wouldn't be able to eat the 5oz container, I've been eating on it slowly and I've eaten the 5oz within an hour, slowly and one small bitty bite at a time!! If I'm able to eat the 5oz like that I won't stretch or hurt anything will I? Cause I'm thinking that my stomach is emptying before I'm putting in the next tiny bite! I'm not having any pain with it, and I've not had a drop of anything to drink!!! I know people get tired of the same type questions, sorry just trying to reassure myself Kim

Protien shake replacements
mylighthouse replied to avremy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congratulations on your weight loss! As far as a shake alternative, have you tried an unflavored protein powder? I have used Unjury and Isopure, and they are really a great alternative to shakes, because you can mix them into drinks and/or foods such as yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. The powder mixes well into Crystal Light, Powerade Zero, or, my favorite, decaf iced tea. I like the fact that it will help me get my protein up to 90-100 grams a day, which has been the magic number for me dropping the weight over the last few weeks. You might want to give it a try. -
Yogurt and pudding..what stage?
thatch replied to Letsgetgoing2018's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It depends on your plan, but I'm on full liquids and eating (somewhat diluted) cream soups and pudding. I haven't tried yogurt just because I don't have any in the fridge! -
I've started buying Stonyfields YoKids Squeezers and Chobani Champions. Both are marketed for kids but are very tasty greek yogurt options. The YoKids: 2oz tube, 60 cals, 1g fat, Sugar 9g, protein 2g. Champions: 2.25oz tube, 70 cals, 1g fat, sugar 8g, protien 5g! I eat them either out of the fridge or freeze them for a yogurt pop! these are delicious Hope this helps! BTW...Youre doing and looking awesome! My surgery is July 3rd! Ill be joining the losers bench soon

Greek yogurt is one of my go-to foods. I love it! I add sunflower seeds, sesame seeds or chia seeds. Gives it crunch, added protein, and nutrition.

I started pre-op diet today. Will have surgery in 2 weeks. I went to Trader Joe's and got Vanilla & Chocolate Soy Whey Protein Powder. Also got pure pressed Apple Juice. Pure carrot & apple Juice Mix. Also, got some non-fat yogurt and frozen fruit like mangos carrots and cherries and pineapples. What I plan to do is blend up the protein powder, frozen fruit and some juice for 2 meals out of the day. Will be eating veggie broth and tomato soup as well.

For all those who have lost 100 pounds or more in a year
brenda62 replied to candeegal's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am 6 mths out on 10/04 and have lost 111 with 30 to go. I also have followed my Dr rules. I do eat 6 small meals a day and it works for me. I also do not drink protein shakes because I was told they were like slider foods and I would rather eat something anyway. I go to curves 5 days a week and walk 6 to 7 times a week. I think I am going to have to go to a regular gym before long, I feel like this last 30 pounds is going to take even harder work! As for what I eat let's start with what I do not eat. Rice, pasta, bread, soda and sugary deserts. I love yogurt mixed with fruit and kashi in the morning.( I do also drink a home made latte when I first get up) during the day I eat chili (homemade low cal) salad with meat and eggs and veggie, whatever meat I cook for dinner and veggies, snacks are laughing cow cheese on a wasu cracker, 100 cal snack, fruit, protein bar (I only eat half) I do watch my protein and drink lots of water. -
"Diets" after the band
elcee replied to critterlady's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't diet. I do portion control. So as you say I eat what I want within reason. I try to eat from as wide a range of foods as possible and I also try to eat fresh rather than processed.Sometimes I eat icecream but no not 3 times a day. LOL I also mix my foods up when I eat so would find it hard to eat Protein first then veg then carbs. I prefer to have a bite of this a bite of that etc. For me this has been one of the best things about the band. I now eat like a skinny person.That is I eat what I want and am satisfied with much smaller amounts. I also don't feel hungry the whole time in between meals.Sometimes my food choices might be strange but if that is what my body wants then that is what I am going to give it.e.g I just ate abowl of natural muesli with greek yogurt for lunch! Normally I would have tuna and salad or a sandwich or something but today I felt like Cereal. Everyone is different and each person does need to work out what works for them as there is no "one size fits all rule". Good luck
