Fat and Sugar Limit?



Recommended Posts

Hi guys!

I am 5 1/2 weeks post op and as I'm incorporating more food in my diet I'm having trouble deciding what I should and shouldn't try. I know low sugar and low fat are key but I wasn't sure what amount of grams is too high. Some yogurts have like 15g of sugar but I'm not sure if that's ok? Any thoughts would be helpful! Thank you!

15 grams of sugar is a lot. Not all yogurts are created equal. You have search for low sugar, low cal, non or low fat. My nut gave me a list of the four yogurts that are good and meet our needs.

I try to stay under 10g of sugar MAX at any time, the less the better. The yoplait 100 calorie Greek yogurt is my favorite yogurt. It only has 7g sugar and 13g Protein I believe? But I can only eat half at a time anyway lol.

Dannon Light & Fit greek yogurt Blends are amazing!! I love the banana cream. It has 80 calories, 7 grams of sugar and 12 grams of Protein. It comes in a 5.3 ounce container. They have banana cream, key lime, strawberry banana, and a vanilla. There may be more but I haven't noticed them. I've only tried the strawberry banana and the banana cream (my fave so far.) I've found them at Walmart and they are 1 each. A little higher than some but good.

My docs rule is that if a serving has more than 6g of sugar...sugar cannot be one of the first three ingredients.

Coconut vanilla is my favorite!!!! Also the regular (non-blends) are the same nutritional value. I like the pineapple and strawberry isn't bad either.

My nutritionist said to try to stay under 5 or 6. She aslo gave me a list. The one I remember,

Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurt. If it isnt sweet enough you can add a sweetner.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
