Greek yogurt is NOT too high in carbs. Obviously you won't be eating other high calorie carbs i.e. breads, pasta. Here are the stats on 0% Oikos Greek plain yogurt: 3/4 cup - 100 calories Carbs - 7 grams Protein - 18 grams Sounds perfect to me. Go ahead and indulge in some greek yogurt! I like to add a little of sugar free jam to mine, delish!

Any other teachers being banded!?
lsullivan68 replied to MIGMOM's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I'm a high school librarian, but taught for 9 years in the classroom. I was banded on 8-1-08 and started work yesterday. I'm doing the liquids still right now, but lunch time is our busiest time of the day, so I'm going to have to do easy, smooth things like yogurt, cheese, shakes, etc. Because like DWRD73 said, we don't want to "you know" in front of the kids. We'll do it, heck we've all survived NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND, we'll survive this too. : ) -
Wait so I can add sugar free pudding mix right to my yogurt it? Does it really taste good? I will have to try this I been eating Greek yogurt but with the fruit at the bottom.

Yeppers you sure can, and if you pop it in the fridge for about an hour, I swear the white chocolate flavored sugar free pudding powder mix makes the icky, tart plain, non-fat greek yogurt taste just like cheesecake. The lemon sugar free pudding is yummy too. I don't even make pudding with milk anymore, and I also make pies like lemon chess pie this way. I mix the pudding powder with greek yogurt, and toss it in a graham cookie crust, stick it in the freezer for 2 hours, and VOILA I have lemon chess pie.

Jachut replied to MIGMOM's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Ah yes. I'm a student teacher, but am at the stage where I'm out on teaching rounds a LOT now, so working a good part of the academic school year. I take very easy things to eat because its always rushed. I eat well at home int he morning - I have two sittings at breakfast, lol. First when I get up I'll get some Cereal and a coffee down, that travels around the house with me, while I'm showering, doing my hair, dressing the kids, etc. An hour or so later when I leave to do the school drop off of my kids and head on myself, I'll take some fruit and a piece of toast with me. That way if all I have for lunch is yogurt or some cheese and crackers, I've eaten well in the morning.then its an afternoon snack of something healthy which can be more leisurely. And dinner as normal. personally I'd rather be fat than live on Protein shakes and bars, I dont consider them food or a viable option at all for me. This large breakfast snack lunch doesnt fit my normal three meals a day routine, but I'll have to adapt when I'm finished studying and am working full time. -
yeah my trainer kept making fun of it, he couldnt even get the name right-- kept calling it pill-yogurt? haha but hes this enormously buff guy that could pick me up with one arm, so i feel like even pilates is too easy for him. :thumbdown:

Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass Surgery 10/24/2016
DelRey310 replied to DelRey310's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes I had the sleeve over two years ago and then converted the sleeve to the bypass. Post op six days now. Yes I had to do the two week diet prior to surgery. The first week consisted of a Protein shake for Breakfast and lunch, and for dinner, 1/4" chicken, Turkey or fish with veggies. Second week was all liquids, including Water, homemade broths, Protein shakes & tea. Tomorrow will be two weeks that I have been on liquids and it is very hard. I am so tired of protein shakes so I've literally been drinking more of the broths and teas over the shakes. I've been able to do about 1-2 shakes a day. I feel satisfied without restriction when sipping. I can finish one cup of tea or broth without any discomfort. I've finally lost the six pounds that I gained during the surgery from the carbon dioxide and all of the fluids from the IV. I have one more week to go on liquids and then I can have my first egg. Either poached, scrambled or egg whites. I can also have lowfat geek yogurt and cottage cheese during week 3. I can't wait for that. We are almost right around the same dates for our surgery . I'm happy for you! Keep in touch. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

With Protein so important, what do you eat for breakfast?
citygirl4616 replied to yellowroseaz's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
When I get sick of eggs and my protein shakes, I like to have a small bowl of non-fat Greek yogurt, sweetened with a bit of Splenda, mixed in with a few slices of banana, and a small handful of high protein flaxseed cereal added in for texture. Yum! Sweet, creamy, crunchy, high protein, low fat and perfect for those "tight" mornings when nothing much seems to want to go down! -
august 12th 2011 lap band surgery & freaking out already!
val144 replied to changing4me's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am right there with u, I have exactly 6 days until my surgery and I am doing my Protein shakes, but the diet they gave me includes yogurt, canned fruit, bananas and broth. cottage cheese, pop and fudgescicles...so i am not totally starving. but it sucks watching my honey eat manicotti and chicken breasts, which i cooked for him, cause i figure i have to get used to the smell of good food around that i cant have. i have been struggling with my choice to have the surgery and questioning if i should wait awhile longer and get my heart blip checked out or not, and get some psychological counseling first, well last year i had gone to a seminar and the doctor i really wanted to do my surgery wasnt taking my insuracne at that time, but this morning of all times, they call me and tell me i am on his list of call backs and hes taking my insurance now and am i still interested. i am more confused than ever now. -
:thumbup: I am on day 2 and it has sucked. I want FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOd Lol I know I'm being a whiner but it is really hard. But I'm gonna get skinny! YAY! I really hope the next 12 days fly by!!!!!!!! I'm on a 2week liquid only diet. Protein shakes!! My favorite are Ids Multi Pro Whey Protein Isolate Blend Vanilla Cinnamon or the same brand but cappuccino flavored--taste awesome!! Second fav is Syntrax Nectar Caribbean cooler which you can mix easy with water and it tastes like Pinacolada! But even so smelling subway is excruciating and it's in the building where I work!! I also love SF banana popsicles from krogers!! I also cheat just a little and eat carbmaster yogurt from krogers because I'm sure it could be part of this diet but of course you would then get people eating any yogurt they wanted if they said yogurt was okay. But this kind has only 5grams of carbs and 15 grams protein and zero fat= 80cals. So I say 1 a day is okay I will maybe quit that a few days before surgery.:blushing:

Nov 14 Sleevers?
Fallenangel2904 replied to Soli3l's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I tried something tonight for a little extra Protein because the shakes are just revolting to me. I haven't even been drinking them that long ugh Anyway I read this on here and it was a great idea! 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt 1/4 cup of FF milk Squirt of MIO. I used orange tangerine. And OMG it was good, tolerable and tasted like an orange creamcicle! It was 7 grams of protein I believe. Not bad! -
Hi everyone, i was sleeved June 20th. Down 25 pounds so far, i'm eating little pieces of fish with lemon juice and 2 shakes made with protein and watermelon a day. I'm also eating some yogurt. Since i'm not eating any fiber and almot not carbs i'm constipated. I'm drinking about 48 oz of water a day and walking 20 minutes a day. Would someone please let me know what can help me with constipation??. It is urgent

MoM, Miralax, and chia seeds or Fiber One in your diet as tolerated are all our friends. I do Miralax on Wednesday and Sunday, with a little bit of Fiber One in my yogurt a few days a week and all is well here. MoM works for me too. I just think it tastes awful. But I can stomach it (pun intended) if all else fails. I'll say this. I'd rather have this than the IBD-like symptoms I used to have pre-surgery.

Increasing to 90 grams of Protein?! WTH!
OKCPirate replied to JennsJourney's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I do a couple of eggs and meat in the morning, but I put pipingrock.com unflavored Protein powder in my coffee. I do a greek yogurt around 10:30 with more powder. If you do that, it will get you around 25 more grams per day. A few ounces of meat 2 hours before or after dinner will get you to that goal. -
I'm going on a road trip (8 hr to Seattle to take an Alaskan cruise) this coming Monday! I've already got packed: almonds, jerky, yogurt covered pretzels (a bit of a treat!), Cheerios, and a cooler with yogurt and water. I almost always have a pkt of almonds in my purse for emergencies.

Best Unflavored Protein
busybeebug replied to khope's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Genepro is my go to. Mixed in thin cold drinks for me doesn't work. I love it in hot tea with milk and sugar. It mixes well in V8 or tomatoes juice. I put it in eggs, oatmeal and yogurt too. -

So tired of protein shakes
Sistersue replied to deidre's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try making your own shakes with unflavored protein powder. One receipt I want to try calls for unflavored pp, iced decaf coffee, sugar free liquid coffee creamer or milk, ice cubes made for decaf coffee. Throw it in a blender and make your own frappacino. They also suggested a sugar free chocolate syrup, but not for me. Personnally I combine frozen berries, a banana, plain yogurt, unflavored pp, and crystal light each morning. I love it and that's good because I can't eat solid food in the morning. The important thing is to blend it well and then let it sit for a few mins and the blend it again so the powder gets a chance to dissolve. Get creative. Next week I am trying apples with cinnamon. -
Week 6: When will I start loosing weight?
Instyle98 replied to Cloud_dance's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Are you eating canned soups that are creamy or contain carbs like Pasta, rice, potatoes, corn or peas? What are you putting in your Chili? Doesn't Udon soup have a lot of noodles in it? By suriami fish do you mean the fake crab (Surimi) that has a lot of starch and sodium mixed in it? Toasts, rusks, whole grain crackers are carbs. It sounds like you may be eating a lot of sodium and carbs and the weight will not come off if you're doing that. Are you drinking Water or no sugar added beverages (not soda)? You need Protein, protein! Stop buying Junior Mints. The more you eat that stuff, the more you will want it. If you need something sweet, eat some cocoa roasted almonds or something. I hear you on the sweet stuff - I have a sweet tooth the size of the Grand Canyon! Right now for that I eat sugar free puddings, Jello, yogurt with fruit, fruit, etc. Start your mornings off with protein. That will help. As far as not wanting anyone to see you, you will have to get over that and go out and walk. Besides if they are people you see on a regular basis, pretty soon, they will be seeing a whole lot less of you! If I see someone walking, biking etc., I never think bad of them especially if they are large. I actually applaud them and think that I should be out there with them! Can you find a walking buddy? Wear headphones and listen to music or audio books and don't think about those other people. -
I know this sounds like I am being really whiny but I cant help it. I really thought that I would be losing more weight than this. I was sleeved on 3/7 with a surgery weight of 233. I got down to 219 this past Friday. Today I am 222. I dont get it. I am hardly eating!! I dont know, maybe that is the reason? This is my routine-- I have a Chike shake for Breakfast. Soup for lunch-maybe a cup. It is all I can hold. A snack-pudding, yogurt, popcicle or something like that. And then dinner-soup and a few crackers. I stay under 500 calories everyday. I should be losing right?? I really try to drink Water or crystal lite as much as I can but I find it hard to drink water all day long. Its like I get going with my day and forget. Then when I remember I only take a few sips. Then off I go again. I dont know what is going on. I read stories of people here losing like a pound or two everyday. I am in my 3rd week and I have really only lost 10 pounds post surgery. WTF. I went through all of this and nothing is really happening. Emotionally I am losing it. I keep crying at the drop of a hat. I feel emotionally I am all over the place!! Any sound advice??

HELP...I don't know when to eat!
Raine replied to decamom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 4 weeks out and I split it up through out the day. Wake up Protein shake Midmorning at work, greek yogurt lunch bare burito or baked potatoe or I'll have about 3 oz of deli meat and cheese Midafternoon shake or greek yogurt dinner 3oz of what ever meat hubby is making Evening protein shake My issue before was that I ate until I was over full and I am finding that I do the same a little bit now. Not to the point of getting sick but being really full. I still only get in about 3 oz when actually eating food. Gotta work on that. -
