Hi. I am Pre op trying out some new things and was wondering if anyone has added powder to yogurt. If so, how was it? What flavors did you mix and how much powder would you recommend adding ? Thanks !!

I always add a full scoop to a carton of yogurt then split into two servings.....prefer vanilla powder in vanilla yogurt with some fruit added...blueberries are my fav.

This morning I used light chocolate strawberry yogurt with skim milk and vanilla body fortress Protein Powder. It was a bit foamy! I'll try another flavor of yogurt next time around!

You could probably mix the Protein in what ever you want, it will change the textrue of food etc. I like to get it all over and done with ASAP. I get my min. 64 grams in in one shake, I mix dutch cholocate with Water and drink that for a snack at 10 - 10:30 every single day. I'm not a big fan of the protein but I make sure I have it daily though !!! I think what ever works best for you and your taste buds :) would be fine !

I am pre op and I have been eating a lot of yogurt and adding one scoop of unflavored Protein powder to it. I have had a bad tooth for the past several weeks and got it pulled last week. So I feel like I have had kinda a trial run eating the yogurt and getting the protein in. One of my favorites has been the Dannon greek 2xprotein vanilla yogurt with a scoop of unflavored protein and about a tablespoon of sugar free pudding mix, pistachio yum, but I bet that won't be good to soon after surgery, but banana pudding has been good. It is like eating some fancy desert to me. NOW all this may change after surgery. But this could be a good option for those that can't stand to drink the shakes.< /p>

BBdoodle....I've been reading a lot lately about not taking in more than 30 grams of protein at a time because that's all your body can process at one time. That if you put a double scoop in that its just a waste of that extra scoop.....I'm no expert....but when I read your post it made me think about all i had

Yeah your right, I went to GNC today and was told the same thing your can only absorb so much at a time. Just like with your Calcium and multi vit split the dose so your body can absorb it and not waste your money by adding 2 scoops.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
