Yogurt recommendations please



Recommended Posts

2 weeks out and Got cleared for yogurt, pudding and apple sauce. I tried the Greek triple zero yesterday and apparently that was way too think because after 2 tiny bites I felt like it was just stuck. What other yogurts that might be a thinner consistency would you recommend?

Maybe you could add a little Fluid, like a little of a Protein Shake to the yogurt and thin it out?

I've tasted a lot of them and have been having trouble finding one I can eat. I finally found Dannon's Light & Fit Greek yogurt. They have several flavors, it's not the best but it's worth giving it a try. I didn't like the apple pie one, not good at all. Hope this helps, good luck. Oh, and they have them in the whipped mousse consistency too.

I eat the Light and Fit yogurt as well. I like them pretty well. I like that they are pretty low carb (most are just 9 g of carb unless they have chocolate on top...then they are 11g of carb).

Oikos triple zero Greek yogurt.

This is also what my NUT said was best for protein/sugar, etc for after surgery. I haven't tried it yet because I'm not a huge fan of yogurt, but I plan on getting some for my pureed phase.

Adding a little Protein shake to thin it out sounds like a good idea!

Only problem I have with the Oikos triple zero Greek yogurt is that is does have a few more grams of Protein that the Light and Fit Greek yogurt, but the sugar content is higher and so are the carbs. For those extra 2-3 grams of protein I'd rather do much lower carb. Just me though. I'm used to looking at carbs rather than anything else because I'm diabetic. You may differ because of not having other health issues.

I love adding yogurt to my Protein Shakes. it thins the yogurt down, and makes the shake more creamy.

Most yogurt was too think for me as well. I finally settled on Yoplait Greek Whips - 100 calories and around 9 grams of Protein. They are so light and fluffy!

I like the Dannon Light and Fit Greek yogurts! Also, cottage cheese is really good with mashed peaches and a little sugar free peach syrup! I'm not a big cottage cheese girl but, I am able to eat it that way and benefit from it's high Protein. If you get premade Protein Shakes, I found blending them with Ice made them easier to digest the first few weeks! But the Dannon Greek L&F yogurts are yummy! No big chunks of fruit and great flavors and low sugars for a yogurt! :)

Fage Greek yogurt plain, vanilla Protein powder, powdered Peanut Butter and Water to thin is what worked for me. I can't do most artificial sweetners

      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! 🤣

      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
