Changing how I consume my protein



Recommended Posts

I love chobani but since surgery I cannot have any yogurt. Not even the light and fit stuff.. It makes me dump.

My instructions for surgery post op diet from my surgeon says...Most Protein Powder drinks or ready to drink (RTD) Proteins in a can should be consumed within 20 - 30 minutes to obtain the best Protein value. Be sure that the protein you choose does not contain any more than 200 calories, has at least 20-30 G protein and no more than 5 grams of sugar. Also be sure that it has a full-chain of essential amino acids.... So not sure how this works with the other facts noted in this thread. So confusing.

The chobani was making me nauseated. Then I found the yoplait 100 calorie ones. More Protein and way less sugar. I eat one for Breakfast and havent had any issues.

Has anyone tried Chobani Greek Yogurt. It comes in a 5.3 OZ size. 13 grams of Protein also 13 grams of sugar:( but I find it avery satisfying breakfast. Add a little fruit and some granola it my current fav. 120 cals per serving

I don't like chobani. They us milk from cows fed with grains grown with GMO's. I buy FAGE 0% greek plain yogurt and add my own mix ins or use it as a base for a Protein Shake.< /p>

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
