Is yogurt and pudding considered part of the liquid diet?

Both were considered part of the Full Liquids part of my post-op plan from my surgeon. (sugar free of course) Every plan is different, but I think people often do "eat" them on the liquid part of their plan.

It depends on your doctor, but yes, for most pudding and yogurt (without fruit in it) are considered part of the full liquid phase.

Yogurt was a full liquid on my plan, but all of that varies radically Doctor to Doctor

Be careful the yogurt doesn't have fruit. That was such a challenge to find. Chobani or other greek yogurt plain is good (a little splenda for taste if desired). Also Dannon vanilla fit and ____ (forget the word) and lemon (which I couldn't find).

Jello was on my list but not pudding until puree- not sure why.

I use the chobani but I strain the fruit out of it. It helps keep me from gettin bored with the same flavors all the time

Thanks all... its a whole lot of adjusting and getting used to. Trying to stay compliant.

Dannon Light and Fit now has a vanilla Greek yogurt that is wonderful and provides a nice protein boost for 80 calories (9 g carbs and 12 grams of protein).

If your doc allows it, yogurt is a great source of protein if you get Greek yogurt. I've been using either Stonybrook Farms or Dannon's Greek yogurts, they have about 13 grams of protein each container. Just take time to eat it all. Oh, and I highly recommend the Key Lime flavor of the Dannon variety, I just discovered it and its yummy.

Having spent almost my entire life dieting, I learned that dairy products are not really good for losing weight. I noticed that a lot of people on this forum who have stalls or trouble losing weight seem to eat a lot of yogurt, pudding, cheese, and cottage cheese. Also, bread, crackers, rice and oatmeal keep me from losing weight although my system seems to be more sensitive than others. It seems to be ok to eat dairy but if you find that you aren't losing weight like you want to then you may want to consider cutting out the dairy altogether. You can buy high protein powders that can be turned into puddings with water though, for example Wonderslim puddings are pretty good.
