Favorite Greek Yogurt
JamieLogical replied to Threetimesacharm's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Dannon Light & Fit is the only Greek yogurt I can tolerate. It doesn't taste as "Greek" to me as some of the others. I like the Raspberry and the Key Lime Pie flavors best. -
2/8 surgery date progress?
GAHUNTER replied to nlo127@live.com's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Not 2/8, but 2/10. Still have no appetite for anything. Have to choke down my Protein shakes, as they just taste putrid to me. Ate a scrambled egg this morning, followed by a light yogurt, just because I couldn't face another shake. Stomach grumbled a little, but no pain or nausea (I told my doctor's nurse about it when she called a little while ago to see how I was doing, and she fussed at me for starting solid food two days early). I have no trouble drinking 64 oz of Water a day, and carry my water bottle everywhere. As of this morning, I have lost 21 pounds (since last Monday). At this rate, I'll reach my goal weight around late March, however something tells me that rate of loss is going to slow down at lot! -
Greek yogurt blended with ricotta, vanilla, and sweetener gives me the taste and texture of vanilla ice cream and does a lot less damage.

At our house we use Friendly Farms Plain Greek Yogurt from Aldi's. It has 130 calories and 23 grams of Protein per cup. I add to it what I want. It mixes well with ricotta, vanilla, and sweetener to get the taste and texture of ice cream.

If you have a krogers nearby, they have a brand called carbmaster. It is a high protein low carb yogurt and taste really good.
-
I eat the Walmart brand, great value, light Greek yogurt. The banana cream is really good and has 90 calories, 0 fat, 9 carbs, 7 sugar, and 12 protein. I eat one just about every day.

Not sure it's "the best" (haven't tried them all). But I love the Dannon Oikos Greek yogurt -- vanilla was my fave (still is). 120 calories, 12 grams of Protein.

Could you please share what your favorite, no sugar, high protein greek yogurt is? There are so many kinds that I am not sure what one(s) to chose.

I can relate. I started the surgery journey at 320 lbs. I was TERRIFIED to do it. Scared of failure. I was scared the surgery wouldn't work for me, or that I wouldn't be able to make the life changes I needed to make in order to succeed. I'm two months out now, down 60 pounds, and starting to feel really really good! Eating the proper food isn't hard at all. Avoiding the wrong food is even easier. Once in awhile I'll think , " pie sounds good", but then I think of how sick it would make me and that craving is gone in a flash. Dumping or having an upset stomach sucks, so I don't even want to eat the bad things. I've become so intune with my body that I can feel the energy flow when I eat a healthy meal. That's an addictive feeling. Everytime I put on a piece of clothing and it's loose, or when I get a compliment on my weight loss, it's motivating. That too makes sticking to the new eating plan easier. I have two kids and a husband, they eat what I eat. If I'm having plain Greek yogurt with fresh fruit for Breakfast, then so do they. If I'm having spaghetti sauce with zuchini noodles, then they do too. I don't cook two different meals for everyone, we are all getting healthy together. This too helps ease things along. The surgery can be painful, the recovery a little slow, but just get past the first month and things will get easier. You can do it. You can succeed.

I don't like dairy/eggs/fish! What will I eat?
Bluesky1 replied to TiredOfMyself's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
SO glad you wrote this topic! I am exactly the same, no yogurt, milk, or fish for me. They all make me sick. I am having surgery on Tuesday and I am really worried too. Seems like there are alternatives. Thanks again for asking! ???? -
I miss pizza!!! But I make homemade pizza using a zucchini crust. I also do mashed cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes, I use non fat creek yogurt anytime something calls for sour cream or cream cheese. I also make veggie Pasta, and I use ground turkey anytime you would use ground beef.

So in honor of this post, I wrote down everything I ate in the last two days. Many of theses are repeat items that I had both days..... eggs, bacon, chicken, shredded pork, turkey sausage, shrimp, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, power crunch bar, Quest bar, natures valley Protein bar, quest chips, Greek yogurt, unflavored whey protein, peanuts, asparagus, spinach, onion, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, baked Beans, red bell pepper, yellow squash, Kashi go lean Cereal, All Bran cereal, ground flax seed, blueberries, orange, coconut milk, 1/2 and 1/2, decaf coffee, decaf tea, plain Water, protein hot chocolate, Bai5, water with sweet leaf flavor drops, dark chocolate candy filled with brandy liquor. Portions ranged from a couple tablespoons to maybe 1/3 cup (except the liquids) and eaten over 14-15 "meals". My weekday variety is much lower. Probably more like 10-12 different things over 5-6 meals. I guess the OP's therapist would have a field day with me!

Offering some encouragement re the night eating .... The first 6 - 9 months post-op I had trouble every few weeks with night eating. I never did much damage -- and resorted mostly to yogurt, cheese, milk (interesting, all dairy foods). But my shrink asked me to be more mindful (meaning, to just notice WTF was going on when I felt urges to eat late at night), so I did that. And over the last year those urges have just dissipated. I think what's mostly helped is that I'm not so stressed and sleeping more through the night. Compared to two years ago, I now sleep in the bed with my husband -- I don't stay up late at night and watch TV and wind up sleeping on the couch or in a recliner. Ugh! My increased exercise and activity levels are helping with the sleep, too. I used to take Ambien / Melatonin / Benadryl as needed. And now I seldom need any of that. Once again, new habits -- months and months of doing more things right than wrong -- really are helpful and powerful. Together, those habits constitute a new lifestyle. I sound like Pollyanna.

Help! My pouch is rejecting meats!
Cervidae replied to Klaselayd's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I second everything @@jdc121975 said. Carbs aren't the devil but in the beginning they are kind of terrible for you. Especially if that is the majority of food you're eating. You can sabotage yourself very easily this way - it's a slippery slope. How about yogurt? Has pureeing meat with maybe some cottage cheese worked for you? How about refried Beans (yes, these are a carb too, but also full of Fiber and protein)? Have you tried different kinds of cheese? I had similar problems in the beginning. Not much of my food came back up but almost all food items made me feel sick and full and they say strangely and uncomfortably in my stomach. It's much, much better now. -
How do you know you're doing enough?
Miss Mac replied to gpmed's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
If you figure on 21 grams of Protein with each meal, and a morning, afternoon, and bedtime snack of 7 grams, that is 84 grams of protein right there. For example, this morning for Breakfast, I had a one egg ham and cheese omelet with a couple bits of green pepper. ...Boom...21 grams. For a mid-morning snack, I could have 3 ounces of Greek Yogurt with a handful of blueberries.....9 grams of protein. How about for lunch, let's have a scoop of tuna salad with 3 ounces of tuna - 21 grams of protein. I make two ounces of tuna with a chopped boiled egg...still 21 grams. I might have a sweet gherkin on the side if I have room. Maybe an afternoon snack could be 1/2 a Protein shake made with 4 ounces of milk.....that is another 15 grams of protein. dinner might be 3 ounces of chicken and a sprig of broccoli .....21 grams more. Bedtime snack sometimes is once ounce of deli turkey rolled up with 1/2 ounce slice of provolone cheese.....finishing the day out with another 7 grams. I keep sugar free Jello made up in case I get hungry during the night and want to eat my thumbs. So, there you go. Just with this example, you have 89 grams of protein, 700 calories, and 23 carbs. That gives you room for additional veggies, fruit, dairy, condiments...whatever your plan allows. -
How do you know you're doing enough?
Inner Surfer Girl replied to gpmed's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
No, I don't eat meat all day but I do eat protein all day. In addition to meat (mostly turkey, tuna, fish, and chicken), I eat a lot of Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, cheese, Beans, and some nuts. -
How has your Fluid intake been post op? This is one area my nutritionist and surgeon couldn't stress enough: Water. Get at least 48 oz (with many recommendations being 60 oz daily). My BM's are always more difficult to move the day after I haven't taken in enough water. Once you can progress to yogurt I would do so. The live active cultures will help your gut flora.

How do you know you're doing enough?
Threetimesacharm replied to gpmed's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Protein was always the center at each meal for me; egg for breakfast, protein shake, fish, turkey, beans for lunch and dinner both with small amounts of veggie. I can't eat raw salad yet just doesn't go down well. If you want to lose more definitely increase your protein and watch the nuts(high in calories). I also have a snack usually yogurt or cottage cheese with berries. -

addiction to carbs/need advice
jess9395 replied to sbg224's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
We don't have any junk food in our house, but our kids do eat bread, rice and Pasta. I can't rid the house of those foods. They are all quite thin and need carbs as an energy source. I am the only one in our house that needs to eat less. I have kids and their way of eating has changed a LOT since my surgery and they have always been thin and don't need to diet (I have a growing teen boy who eats a TON lol!) They now eat only whole wheat or sourdough (no sugar) bread and only two slices a day. They either have it at Breakfast and lunch is more Protein based (tuna salad, chicken salad, meat and cheese roll ups, etc) or they can have a sandwich at lunch. I no longer serve bread at dinner. Potatoes are once or twice a month as is pasta. I can't remember when I last made rice! Sides are Beans and yams and veggies and salads. Lots of lean protein, fruit and veggies. Lots of dairy. Whole wheat crackers and cheese (I am careful to buy crackers I don't particularly like LOL!), apples and Peanut Butter, tortilla chips (which luckily I don't care for) with salsa and guacamole, raw veggies wth homemade hummus or blue cheese Greek yogurt dressing. Kids don't NEED pasta, rice, potatoes and bread. -
Came home Thursday. So far, so good. Absolutely no problem, unless you consider that I can drink my egg-white Protein shakes in five minutes a problem. However, just because I can drink them fast, I try not to. I actually hope I have more problem with solid food, once I start it. Also no problem getting my 64 oz of Water. Have not come close to throwing up! One big surprise (considering my food addiction) is, so far, food is of no interest to me. I actually feel the same before my Protein shake as I do afterward, and that "same" is the fact that I just plain don't want to eat! Today, I only had two 12-oz shakes and one low fat yogurt, I just couldn't bear the thought of that last shake. Didn't pee much in the hospital, but once I got home, I started peeing large volumes of urine every hour, 24/7 (does not make for a restful night sleep). Then, today, even though I drank the same amount of water as Thursday and Friday, I started retaining Fluid and my urine volume has been greatly reduced. Even had some hand and feet edema today. Hopefully, I'll soon settle at a happy medium. Ninety-five percent of all the gas pain is alleviated. So far, since last Monday, I've lost 16 pounds, however I'm not too excited as I am sure it is all water weight. Supposed to start soft solid food on Wednesday, I'll report back after that time.
