At 2 weeks you'd be best to stick with greek yogurt and Jello. Anything like Cookies or wafers would be pretty tough on your tummy. I'm almost 5 months post-op if I REALLY want something sweet I reach for a piece of fruit. Cookies, wafers or anything else, even sugar free, would be like a gateway drug for me and it's just not worth it.

I found the shakes and sf Popsicles etc.. almost sickeningly sweet (I am NOT a sweets person).

I wonder if there are ways to turn shakes or greek yogurt into something ice-cream-ish to help with sweet cravings.

You can freeze the yogurts. If you check out theworldaccordingtoeggface.com, she has some wonderful recipes for greek yogurts. She buys the plain or vanilla and adds her own ingredients. Check it out.

Healthy choice Greek frozen yogurt is good - creamy and low sugar. I have one whenever my husband has his ice cream.

I agree with everyone on the Greek yogurt or fruit. Sf Cookies and Popsicles have sugar alcohols in them which can be just as bad sugar. Plus being as early out as you are, you could really cause some problems for your new stomach being eating cookies or wafers. Besides, not trying to be rude, but didn't the cookies and other stuff like that get us to point of needing to have surgery to lose weight. I'd stick with the healthy stuff.

Early on I had sugar free Popsicles and sugar free Jello and sugar free pudding. And for me the Protein Shakes took care of the sweet tooth. Now that I am 4.5 months out, I will have skinny cow or weight watchers ice cream once in a while but predominantly my shakes take care of the sweet part. Matter of fact it's too sweet for me at times. After the surgery I don't crave sweets anymore. If you put salmon and dessert in front of me, I will eat the salmon. Before surgery it was the dessert first. So with time your taste buds change, your mind set changes and your self control becomes better. Also your relationship changes with food. At least that's what has happened to me.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
