Frozen Yogurt Six days out?



Recommended Posts

Okay... I'm in liquids only. Not Clear Liquids, but liquids. I can have creamed Soups... Protein Shakes and all of the normal liquids....

What are the thoughts on Frozen Yogurt??? We have a great little frozen yogurt place here in town and I would LOVE some right about now, but I'm not sure that is considered to be a "liquid".... ???

My appologies if this question comes across as being lame (like I should know better), but I'm honestly on the fence about this one...

Not sure what kind of response you are looking for but here goes: are you kidding me? Frozen yogurt full of sugar no nutrient value. You do want to lose weight right? I bet that you did not pay for your surgery.........Wait until you can have pureed foods and enjoy some great greek yogurt full of Protein and goodness. Good Luck to you. :(

I'm on full liquids also and my "cheat" sheet that was given to me from the dietician says low-fat/low-sugar yogurt and fat-free/sugar-free pudding. So If I was in our shoes, I would have some :D As long as it's low-fat/low-sugar.

Wow! Thanks for the attack!

Actual I was being serious. And yes, I did pay for my surgery (not that that should be a factor in any case. This surgery is the same regardless).

Perhaps I should have been more specific in starting sugar free frozen yogurt OR sorbet.

I am not at the point where I can have Greek yogurt yet, otherwise I would help myself to some of that. I realize that frozen yogurt doesn't have "nutritional value" but at this point in the game, I'm not getting much nutritional values from anything that I'm taking in (besides my Protein shake).

Just make sure you choose sugar free. It will melt to liquid once in your body

Thank you for the information. ;)

My surgeon told me that I couldn't have pudding, yogurt until my second week (Wednesday). I guess with that being said, frozen yogurt would fall into those categories... ;) better hold off a few more days.

Thanks again!

Agree! I wasn't looking to "cheat" in anyway... I guess I must be completely oblivious to how bad sugar free frozen yogurt is.

I'm glad I posted this because I clearly need to look into what I "think" may be okay and what should be off limits. I know the obvious foods to stay away from, but never really though sf frozen yogurt would fall into thy category.

Thanks for the feedback ;)

I think we should cut folks s break here. It is yogurt not a whole pie. I am doubtful we will all go through the rest of our lives without what we want.

I ate a chocolate covered cherry today while with my dad at Harry and David. I did not explode or die. I did not like it either. But not the point. Just write it down and track in your food for the day.

When I was on my liquid diet (days 3-13 post op), I could have yogurt..and I LOVE greek yogurt. so what I did when I wanted something dessert-ish was mix the plain yogurt with a little yogurt. Then I got more adventurous and froze it in an ice cube tray..kinda worked but wasn't like the usual froyo from the places around here. If you want something like frozen yogurt from those places, my best idea for you is to do what I did and freeze the yogurt. Maybe even add some Protein Powder? Good luck!

I don't think it's horrible for you, for as much as you'd be able to eat it'd be about 100 calories but they're are carbs in it so theres that. I was tempted to eat some yesterday but decided it doesn't qualify as a full liquid lol

KimiKat3: I imagine if it was sugar free, you'd be good! Those Fro-yo places are BOMB! I haven't been sleeved yet, but have been through the lapband post op stage (back when it was super serious to do liquids 2 weeks, 2 weeks soft...) and man did I get bored!

I would get a small one, let it melt in your mouth a bit and eat just a little. See how you feel. I can't think of one thing wrong here- NO IDEA why people attack. This truly came off as an innocent question.

How come you can't have greek yogurt yet? Did I overlook something?

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
