In my last blog I mentioned that I did a trial run of the liquid diet and started it last Monday 7/11. Well, today is day 3 of my official liquid diet and its going well. I'm down 6.8lbs since last Monday which is great. The problem I'm having is the greek yogurt I managed to find that I like is a no no apparently. I like the chobani greek fruit on the bottom and it has 14g of protein but the doc says it has to be plain. Ugh.. the plain tastes like a mouthful of sourcream but worse and I hate cottage cheese. So now I'm wracking my brain for a way to get my 50-70g of protein a day and they say to limit the protein shakes to no more than 3 a day. Anyone have any suggestions?? On a good note, I made it through my bosses party on Saturday without breaking. I admit though, when they fired up the grille 3 hours into it, I was gone faster than you could say chicken. lol Only other thing at this point is my insurance carrier has still not come through with the approval and I'm getting nervous as my surgery is now 7 days a way.

    Why is the greek yog a no? Also what about refried beans? Are they ok because they have a ton of protein?

    Well for the liquid diet they don't want you eating any solids, not even mushy stuff so no refried beans :( The doctor didn't say no greek yogurt, just no fruit on the bottom, it has to be plain. My guess is because of the sugar maybe and the fruit.

    The sugar count on those fruit yogurts (even greek) is so high. I will take a plain nonfat greek yogurt and add a few drops of the Mio water flavor to it or half a packet of the single servings of the powdered water flavors. Try that, it definitely makes it taste better :-) Good Luck!

    What about adding unflavored protein powder to cream soups and puddings. I used a protein I ordered from bariatriceating.com called pure. It is unflavored, no taste, no change in texture of the food and 2 scoops adds 24 grams and about 105 calories, low carbs. You can't heat it up but can put in hot foods if yiu tempure the liquids. It really has no taste or smell.
