I am on a 3 week PreOp diet I have been told I can drink 4-5 Protein Shakes a day (160 cal max) and have Clear Liquids. I was also told I can have greek yogurt. My question is what kind? The ones with fruit and vanilla are pretty high in carbs but the plain is awful. What kind did you all have to eat. I know I will need this for after also.

Oikos is good, I get the traditional style with no fruit on the bottom (can't have the fruit on the bottom kind yet) and I found a new one at Walmart called vokos and i like it a lot!!!

Fat free and sugar free. There are a ton of brands. Also try Icelandic yogurt at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, it's even higher Protein than Greek.

What do you put in it to stop the sour taste? I had the FAGE this morning plain 0% and I used a splenda in it. Is this what everyone does?

If I had to eat the plain kind I would just skip the yogurt all together!!

Put it in with your shake in the blender! It will make it thicker!

Fage is the best!

I like the Voskos brand Greek yogurt, as well as Brown Cow and sometimes Chobani. I am a yogurt snob and won't eat any yogurt that isn't 100% natural. I refuse to put artificial sweeteners or flavors in it. All natural yogurt will have a few more carbs, so I just eat low carb elsewhere, or don't eat as much of the yogurt.

Yes. I would put stevia in it and a bit of vanilla extract.

I put 1/4 c of sf vanilla pudding and 1/4 c of greek yogurt stir and add pumpkin spice or apple pie spice and makes it tasty. I am out 14 days and feeling great.

I love Dannon light and fit greek. It's the only brand that my nutritionist allows. She said all the others have too much sugar. They have tons of great flavors. strawberry, blueberry, pineapple, cherry. But my absolute favorite is the toasted coconut vanilla. It tastes like dessert! I eat at least one a day, they're a great Protein source.

      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!!
