You can get the Torani syrups at most grocery stores (ie. Cub foods, Rainbow, Trader Joes) at least in Minnesota :-)

I shopped all around and if you have a Smart & Final near you they had the best prices I found. $5/bottle and $4/bottle if you bought 4+

Dannon Light and Fit Greek Blended is my favorite. I love the vanilla Coconut and the Key Lime! YUM!!! 12 grams of Protein and low sugar!

I eat Fage 0% plain yogurt, and add my Protein powder to it. 1/2 cup with a scoop of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury vanilla, plus a pinch of cinnamon tastes like cheesecake to me, plus it has over 30g of protein! That has been my go-to food since I got home from the hospital... the only thing I can definitely eat, and keep down!

I'd say stay away from the flavored yogurts. All those added artificial sugars are not really good for you. Get used to non fat Greek yogurt. Fage or gobani are great brands. Stay away from the Kroger brand. It is awful. . I use them in my shakes. So much Protein and if makes my shakes yummy.

I eat Chobani or Fage plain. The pre flavored yogurts have always tasted way too sweet to me- even before surgery. I use fresh fruit (peaches, blueberries, strawberries) to add a hint of flavor. Also use Syntrax Nectar Protein powder to add flavor...and even more protein. I have added a couple tbls high protein oatmeal to it, too for texture. But my ultimate yummiest favorite is a scoop of Garden of Life Raw Protein vanilla mixed with 1 cup plain Fage 0% ....40 grams of protein, 10g sugar and 220 calories!

I fortify my Greek Yogurt with GNC unflavored Protein powder. It raises the Protein to 30 grams and the calories are under 300. This way I get half my protein in first thing in the morning. Makes my day go much better!

I use plain nonfat greek yogurt for my Protein Shakes and yopait 100's. I prefer the strawberry. These two yogurts are staple in my diet. U do need to watch the sugar on all of them. Some flavors are higher than others in sugar. I am almost 5 months post nd down 92lbs so its working. Good luck, you're almost there.

Can u tell me what kind of Protein shakes u make?

I am currectly on full liquids stage. I can have yogurt so my plain is to get Fage plain Greek yogurt and get either peaches in the cup with their natural juices blend them to puree or baby food peaches all natural and mix it together. or I will put the greek yogurt in my nutribullet with frozen or fresh fruit and veggies and blend into a smoothie. I check with my NUT. He said as long as there are no lumps I am good to go. I do plain to get the unflavored Protein powder for additional Protein.< /p>

I don't normally like Greek yogurt (too sour creamy to me) but I know it's packed with lots o Protein so I've tried to like it. Just about 5 days ago, I bought 6 different brands/flavors to give them all a fair shake. The best so far?

Trader Joes Vanilla strawberry

Open Nature Honey

I HATE Chobani, Oikos, and Yoplait. Fage is good, just not fantastic. I also bought a Dannon Light and Fit (cappucino flavor) just haven't tried it yet. It's got the smallest amt of calories. I think it's 80. I don't really look at the carbs - just calories and Protein. The TJ's has hefty calories (180) for a tub of yogurt (it's 8 oz vs the normal 6).

Good luck in finding a good one. I Luv luv luv the 90 cal Fat Free Yoplait fruit blends but there's barely any protein in them. Still fairly healthy in my mind. Better than a Snickers bar! I consider anything healthy thats better than a Snickers bar! Sad, I know...

      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! 😞

      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! 🤣
