For RNY peeps, is there a brand that I can use that has the least sugar? I like the taste of Dannon light & fit Greek, but I noted even it has 8 grams of sugar. Mind you I can only eat 1/2 at a time so I'm getting 6 Protein 4 sugar in each serving but wondering if anyone has a favorite that's less sugar still high in protein???

Oikos Triple Zero in the black containers. All the NUTs are now recommending them. They aren't bad. The triple zero stands for zero sugar, zero fat, and zero artificial sweeteners or something like that.

Thanks. I just ate almost an entire 5.3 oz container of yogurt 10 days post op, don't think I really got a full feeling from it yet, is this bad? Should I have been able to eat that much this soon? Are there signs I should look for to know I'm full? Guess I'm not feeling the restriction I expected, but maybe it's cuz it's yogurt not solid food?

Just because you are not full does not mean you should keep eating. In fact, we should never get "full". (note--even though I am writing this to you, I am actually telling this to myself because I also keep eating until I'm full). My surgeon and NUT said that if there were a scale of 1-10 where 1 is starving and 10 is very full, we should be just below a 5. Just slightly on the hungry side but not really hungry.

Thanks I actually had my post op appointment today and doctor said same thing 1/4 cup for now or less if I can feel I need to stop and make it last 30 minutes

If you purchase a zero sugar or no added sugar yogurt any of the sugar grams are naturally occuring in the yogurt itself, you can't get away from it. The whipped greek yogurt that I have had, sorry can't remember the brand, I think dannon is delicious and comes in all sorts of flavors, the coconut one is yummy!

My nut recommended

Siggi yogurt. All natural , high Protein low sugar. Thick like Greek yogurt but not sweet . I love it!

My NUT also recommended Siggi Yogurt but I didn't love it. I may give it another try just to be sure. But it's a nice change of pace anyway. I found it at Target.

Most grocery stores sell Siggi, but it is a little pricy for yogurt.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
