I live in Austin and have access to HEB, Central Market, Whole Foods, and WalMart. I read a lot of people on here that are having Greek yogurt and am wondering where I can buy some...it must be good. Is it different/better than regular yogurt? I am not a real yogurt fan...sometimes I find it to be too tart/tangy. But if this many people are eating it, it can't be all that bad.

This question has plaqued me as well. I am only 3 weeks out so I know my portion size will change (hopefully) after my first fill on 10/22. I just don't quite get how to get the right amount of protein in such small portion sizes.

After one week of liquids, my doc moved me on to things like applesauce, runny mashed potatoes and runny refried Beans. But I definitely called and asked first, told him I was starving. Oh....also sf popsicles and fugesicles.

Oh I will.....I have been forewarned by many people. Plus I have no restriction right now at all, but I will take it verrrrrry slowly.

I too am due for first fill on Oct 22 and am experiencing ever increasing appetite....its almost scary, like there is no band at all. Hopefully we will have maybe a tiny bit of restriction after that.....hope so anyway. Good luck!!

I don't officially start soft foods till tomorrow (3 wks out) but I made some really mushy mac and cheese tonight for my lunch tomorrow and snuck 1 bite. Did anyone else experience ecstasy over their first bite of semi real food....still licking lips....lol!!!

I know my question has probably been asked on here before, but I am new (surgery Sept 22) and I am hungry. I actually have tons of questions and am thoroughly annoyed at my surgeons office for their lack of getting back to me with answers. They eagerly took my money (self-pay) beforehand but their interest in my welfare has definitely waned since surgery. I am in the pureed stage for 1 week and am tired of mashed potatoes and fat free refried beans. I cannot stomach even the thought of pureed meat much less the actual taste and am in dire need of some suggestions on what to eat during this stage. Thanks so much!
