I am a frozen yogurt lover, and TCBY really gives a fat free option with their no fat no sugar added soft and hand scooped yogurts. You can find all the info at TCBY.com - Frozen Yogurt, Cakes & Deep Dish Pies, Smoothies, and Tasty Treats, you are looking at 90-120 cals per half cup serving.

Hi All, I live in Doha and had the surgery on the 10th. I didnt go to a private hospital, I did it through Hamad hospital in Al Khor. You will be referred to General surgery but the surgeon is a bariatric surgeon and quite skilled. He also treats you as a person and not as a patient and even gives out his mobile number for concerns. I must say the care was first rate and would recommend a consultation with Dr. Hijran to anyone...... oh..... btw, I am north american

Oh my..... I was banded on Feb 10, and I can sympathize with the bandster hell stage, but to be honest it is all worth it. I am down 11 pounds or so to date and feel great. As for your eating, it is NOT ok. Your stomach had surgery and needs to heal, and the swelling needs to go down. You may have band slippage or damage your pouch, and to be honest you will be so discouraged when you go for your first weigh in and the scale is not moving. If you feel you must eat, eat foods that are better for you and easily tolerated, and stay away from fast food at all costs!!!! Not only are they so full of chemicals that a person who eats them this regularily should glow green in the dark, that are high in fats, sugars and salts that only make your hunger WORSE and fuel food cravings. I actually feel better now that I am not eating all that "white stuff". If you want to try and fill up, try oatmeal (not the packaged stuff as all processed foods should be avoided). Cold cucumber Soup made with fat free yogurt helps, as well as Jello as a snack. It takes a bit more time to prepare than to order, but remember, if you are good to your body, it will be good to you. YOU WILL FEEL HUNGRY!!! but as your blood sugars level out and you get used to your liquid diet you will feel better. You went through all this and endured a surgery, it would really be a shame to not follow your doctors instructions as this is the most important part of being banded. Good Luck
