Yogurt is ok?



Recommended Posts

My doctor in the booklet he gave me told me not to have empty calories - on drinks, and he also had in there on milk products - yogurt, he said not to have milk products because boosts the calories to fast??I always go for low fat.

I have had more dairy in the 6 months of being banded than I have in the last 6yrs combined...LOL I have yogurt on a regular basis - Low Fat w/some kind of fruit & granola; this is my Breakfast on some days. I think your Dr might be wanting you to watch "whole dairy" - but call & ask. I can't see yogurt as a bad thing really,.....

Many drinks are empty calories, so I can completely understand that. But milk products, especially low-fat ones? I don't see an issue there (although low-carb fans would say to get full fat; I don't do low-carb, so this is just me). I eat low-fat (but not non-fat) yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese and have skim milk on a regular basis. I need the Calcium and Protein. Obviously I have to watch the portion sizes as with everything else. I would ask your doctor about having low-fat, high Protein dairy products in small amounts.

Did your doc specify what Calcium sources he wanted you to use?

I do have yogurt sometimes, but usually mixed with Cereal so it doesn't slide right through. It's a mushy, so it's not going to give you the satiated feeling that solid food will.

My center says no liquid or mushy calories except 2 dairy servings per day. Which sounds more sensible to me than excluding dairy. I still don't get enough calcium, so I take a Viactiv chew these days.

Good ideas. will mix fruit and museli with my low fat yougurt, then when go to the doc ask if that is okay, i have been having low fat feta and a little low fat sliced, but the cheese is what i could easily overdo , so got to be careful.I take a Calcium tablet everyday, he knows that as mum as oesteoprosis.

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
