Thanks for post. Have been afraid to try greek yogurt because thought it might give me problems with fruit in it.

My surgery was 8/13. When was yours?

I go with plain Fage yogurt. It tastes like sour cream and is so good going down.

Try the plain greek yogurt and add in sugar free Torani Syrup (or other sugar free sweetener of your choice). I add my own fruit so I can control the amount. You could also add in pureed fruits since you're in the early stages. Loaded with Protein and pretty easy on the tummy (or at least mine).

My Surgeon told me to stay away from fruit yogurts during my pre-op. I was also sleeved on 8/13 but im still on Clear Liquids to transistion to full liquids next week. When i was on pre-op i got the plain greek yogurt and added sweetner like sweet n low or splenda to it, an it made the taste better. you can also try some extracts that will help with taste some

MY DH bought me Greek yogurt a couple of months ago. it was a generic, which i always buy in food, BUT the yogurt was terrible. i was disappointed cuz i had heard great things, Protein etc.

i bought a brand name yesterday - and the taste difference was like night and day.

i had the blueberry - unbelieveable how much i loved it - strawberry is my favorite flavor , they also have peach - other flavors i don't care for - i don't want to overdue it, having daily, then i'll get sick of it. for now, yumyum

I was told the same stay away from fruit yogurt because your stomach cannot tolerate some fruit. you can add the fruit only if you know what you put and you know that you can eat them.

some fruit has some Fiber pieces which our new stomach cannot digest in the first couple of month....

Those are good but have a lot more sugar and a lot less Protein than the real Greek yogurts. If its taste I recommend using a sweetner.

I do the okios I think that's how it's spelled I have plain, blueberry and carmel. It has like 11 g of sugar and 13 g of carbs and 10 g of Protein. My nut as well as my physician told me it was ok . I brought the individual (4 oz serving) and it was Awesome:) my sleeve had no problems digesting it and an hour later I was able to get 16 oz of Water down . This was the first meal ive had since my surgery on 8/14. Each physician and NUT may vary in your diet and when you should eat what. As a nurse I always reccomend you follow the specific orders of you person physician. Dr James Harris in Wilmington has you on purée diet two weeks out if you tolerating full liquid well.

      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!!
