Skyrim Icelandic Provisions



Recommended Posts

Just a quick food tip - most of us know that Greek yogurt is a good food choice after WLS (higher in Protein, goes down easy), but many brands with any flavor have a lot of added sugar. Skyr Icelandic Provisions is a new label for me, with great stats: in a big single-serving container (250g), it has 130 Cal, 11g sugar, 2g fat, and 15g protein. And it tastes great!
Enjoy!

That's still a lot of sugar (even if I'm only eating it in my second life)

Is that for plain or flavored?

And agreed, 11g of Sugar is a bit high considering it's added sugar and not natural sugars (they add cane sugar, it's not just from the fruits) The plain has 5g but it's not added, so that would be ok for most folks. But lots of us are on the 5/5 restriction (or something like it) where if there are added sugars, we are not supposed to consume more than 5g per serving. The other 5 is for fat per serving.

Siggis is another brand of Icelandic yogurt - similar to Greek in being filtered and concentrated, so higher Protein. Like Skyr, their flavored yogurts are a low sugar added, at around 11g total; compared to 6-8 g of naturally occurring sugar in unflavored yogurt, that isn't bad, and reasonable compromise between the usual national brands that can run 20+ g for the flavored varieties, or the usual "low carb" artificially sweetened types. The Icelandic yogurts also are nice in that they are not gaggingly sweet as most other flavored yogurts tend to be.

That's because the English don't like to acknowledge the Welsh!

Alternately

Chobani Greek (original plain non fat) is :

120 cal ,9g carb (6 sugar), 0g fat, 22g , Protein per 1 cup serving (227g)

add your own sugar free flavors (torani syrups, various Water flavorers or just fresh fruit)

The Icelandic Provisions is flavored - if I'm home I use unflavored and add my own what-not, but for something so portable and flavorful, I'm happy to indulge!

Fage (pronounced: fa-yeh!) 0% plain Greek yogurt is what I used in my morning smoothies, although I only use 1/4 cup instead of a full serving of 1 cup. Here is a screen shot of the nutrition information. I also eat it with sliced fresh strawberries and blueberries, and only 1/2 cup of yogurt.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
