So being that last night (7/4/12) was my first day Home since I got sleeved on 7/2 I sent my husband to the supermarket with a list of things to get. He got me the unsweetened almond milk, sugar free Popsicles, fat free milk, soup(so that I can drink the broth) and Greek yogurt. However the yogurt although I told him to get it with the least sugar possible (under 10 grams) has alot of sugar(21 grams). Each one is 6 oz and when I divide into 3 it comes out to be 7 grams per serving. My question is if I mix it with plain yogurt will the grams of sugar be less? I don't want to break a rule and will like to stay with the guideline I was given. I think it will be fine and can't wait to start on the yogurt after day 5. Has anyone tweaked their food a lil bit? I added lemon juice to my chicken broth in the hospital to give it more flavor. I drink G2 gatorade, propel Water, diet snapple and reg water to keep me hydrated.Also any thing that can be added to the grocery list to get me through these first few days will be deeply appreciated.

For the yogurt, I purchased plain greek yogurt. That has only 9 g sugar compared to the kind with fruit. I was actually told to avoid the kind with fruit in it because of the skins, seeds, and fruit chunks. I put a couple of splenda packets in the plain along with a splash of some flavor extract (I've been using almond extract and cherry flavored extract).

I was only told to keep the yogurt under 10 grams of sugar. I told my husband to buy plain ones but I guess he didn't hear that part. I don't think that it'll be a problem if I mix 2 oz of plain into it and add some Protein. For Breakfast this morning I had some almond milk with a scoop of protein... It Actually Wasnt bad... The snapple Im drinkin has only 2 grams of sugar and taste Pretty good. Im glad I started doing taste test when the nutritionist gave me the list because I know what I can tolerate and what to stay away from

Vitamin Water zero is the only flavored water my nut and trainer all because my mew stomach is sensitive to splenda; which is what most waters are flavored with. VWZ uses Stevia.

Fage Greek Yogurt 0% has a decent Protein to carb ratio. The others are crap when it comes to Protein.< /p>

Remember protein first!!!! Limit your use of yogurt once you are off smushies; same with oatmeal.

If you want to flavor your greek yogurt get the sugar free Torani syrups (this is the only product i use that still uses splenda) I bake with it too.

Thank you I'm actually going with my brother to the supermarket to pick up some stuff on my own. Figured I can get the walking in while I'm at it. Fage was one of the yogurts on the list yesterday but hubby is a grab n go type of guy. Don't think he bothered to read labels lol I asked for vegetable juice and got V8 mixed with fruit juice to bad I can't take it back

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
