Thanks for all of your answers! It looks like the good news is that a lot of us have healthy food ruts going on! Something I’ve noticed is that these food ruts are based on convenience foods or easily prepared foods – like yogurt, deli slices, cheese, and Protein shakes. That seems to make sense, since most of us don’t have the time, energy, or interest in cooking a lot now, Still, I wonder if some of the gourmet chefs on here get into food ruts or not. WL Warrior, Yes, food ruts are definitely a strategy for success! Find what works, and do it, over, and over, and over again! The fact that cutting out a lot of foods and depending on a limited variety can help you lose weight is one reason why a lot of the fad diets work, too (for a time, until you get sick of them). I think there’s research also to show that the fewer different foods you have at one meal, the fewer calories you eat because your taste buds get tired so your appetite goes down sooner.

Flavored Yogurt During Full Liquids Period
sleeveless 1962 replied to JohnT's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine is somewhat like yours except I can have yogurt, oatmeal (very thin), broth and blended/strained soups. I don't exactly know what they mean when they say blended/strained soups so I haven't had any. Oh yeah I can have low fat small curd cottage cheese. -
For me, breakfast is typically a Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurt and a Morningstar Farms sausage patty. I eat as few carbs as possible, usually from dairy and what ever is in my veggies. I recently discovered that fruit sets off extreme hunger for me, so I have stopped eating any. My NP recommends avoiding starched and grains. Says we can thrive without them. I seem to do much better when they are left out of my diet. 160 calories 22 gms Protein 12 gms carbs 3 gms fat I can change this up as the yougurt comes in so many flavors! I am seven an a half months out from my gastric bypass and have been fully released food wise.

Pre-Op Liquid Diet
fit2cmygirlsgrow replied to StefanieSparklePants's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Someone suggested making your own broth (if you can have broth on your pre-op diet). I made my own last night and it's pretty yummy. Just watch the sodium in your spices. Much better than the bought stuff. My broth and sugar-free fudgesickles are getting me through. I also like my sugar-free chocolate jello puddings. I add my unflavored protein to my fat free Greek yogurt also. Taste better that way than in drinks. I also bought the ketone strips so I could tell if I were in ketosis. I love the sugar-free chocolate muscle milk 100 Val's version. -
Flavored Yogurt During Full Liquids Period
JohnT posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am five days out of surgery and in the full liquids phase of my diet. I'm wondering if anyone has had bad results with any flavored yogurts out there. I'm looking at trying the Yoplait Greek 100 cal yogurt but it has 7 g of sugar per serving. Has anybody else had any experiences with these types of yogurts either positive or negative? -
Any sleevers scheduled for late July?
1Body2Live replied to kbpaulie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery is coming up in 3 days... I can only have yogurt and water today until surgery. I'm not sure if I'm hungry or if I just miss chewing -
I'm a year out and am eating between 1,000 and 1,200 calories a day. I usually have a couple of prunes ,an English muffin with goat cheese or peanut butter and a cup of coffee for breakfast. Lunch might be yogurt with 1/4 cup frozen fruit. A snack might be a hard boiled egg or 6 triscuits with hummus. Supper is usually chicken,pork or fish with some sort of veggie and then usually 1/4 cup cottage cheese or a grain(couscous or barley). And then a fudge bar or some sort of protein before bed and of course 6-8 glasses of water.

Time Between Liquids and Yogurt
Djmohr replied to Indieflickers's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Most of the time I wait however every once in a while when I have to be somewhere early I will wait 10 to 15 minutes before eating my yogurt. I never eat and drink at the same time. -
95 percent of the time I have just a Protein shake for breakfast. Otherwise I will have a yogurt with protein granola, cottage cheese or maybe high protein oatmeal. I try to save my carbs for lunch and dinner. I am 10 months post op and on regular food.

Time Between Liquids and Yogurt
Indieflickers replied to Indieflickers's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
@@catwoman7 they said to stop drinking half an hour before a meal and to wait 45 minutes after a meal. I'm not sure if if yogurt counts though since it's considered a full liquid, but my NUT is incredibly slow to respond to questions. -
10 DAYS OUT, THINGS GOING TOO GOOD?
Daisee68 replied to skinnydawg73's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
You definitely need to get in the habit of eating slower. Just because you can do all that stuff fast doesn't mean you should. Even with yogurt I set a timer on my phone for 1 minute and make myself wait 1 minute in between every bite. This is one of the hardest habits for me. When I am eating with others around and can't use that timer, I feel a little lost. I know it will become habit eventually but a struggle right now. And when I have solid foods and eat too fast, it is very uncomfortable and almost always comes back up. -
So this is a rather random and specific question - do I have to wait half an hour after drinking Water before I can have yogurt? I've been getting up pretty early to walk every morning because it gets hot so quickly. I take my mountain of Vitamins with 16 ounces of water, wait half an hour and then go walk. I've realized though that I need to eat something with Protein and carbs before walking. However, if I do anything remotely resembling exercise less than an hour after eating, I get terrible cramps in my side. So, ideally, I would like to be able to eat some yogurt with my 16 ounces of water and vitamins. Is that ok? I'm very good about observing the waiting period between eating and drinking, but because yogurt is considered a "full" liquid, do the same rules apply?

shuga04 replied to MrsDixon's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Im wondering if my stomach is supposed to hurt when I eat and drink 8 days out. Liquids and creamy strained soup and yogurt help -
Only good carbs. I don't eat anything white either. No rice, pasta, potatoes or bread. When I was told to add carbs I added oats with a teaspoon of honey. (The only sweetener I am allowed is honey or agave nectar). I can get carbs from Greek yogurt and a few steamed veggies. I also haven't added fruit back.

10 DAYS OUT, THINGS GOING TOO GOOD?
skinnydawg73 replied to skinnydawg73's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Thanks sarahbee. That's what I was kind of figuring. I just didn't want to be one of those people who feel little restriction. I just ate a 5 oz yogurt and a 3 oz sugar free pudding. I feel pretty stuffed now. I'm now finding out how important it is to eat slow even if I could eat it fast because it does take a little bit to feel full at least in my case. -

Ideas for Post-Full Liquid Diet
Kevbear replied to Chris-NYC's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm on the full liquid post -OP as of yesterday I was told basically What I was eating on clear liquid Plus Yogurt, Greek or fat free...no fruit in it pudding, but to make sure it was watery Pourable consistency cream of wheat (gross) Skim or 1% milk Puréed Soups Creamy soups, make sure any chunks are strained out I tried to eat a yogurt, a 100 calorie one, and couldn't even finish half I found some soups that aren't bad...found some potato lentil soup that I added unjury Protein powder to. But I couldn't imagine trying to eat something like chf boyardee right now I am pretty much sticking with various Protein shakes right now, with a soup....I can't get the protein or calories I need from the yogurts or such -
I'm 10 days out, still in the full liquids stage, but I can drink a 32 ounce Powerade in about 20 minutes. I can knock down a 10 ounce Greek yogurt in 5 minutes, with no trouble at all. All this talk on these forums about people struggling to even drink a protein shake, and I could almost chug mine. I'm a little worried, that the surgeon made my pouch too big? Or should I just shut up and be happy about it? I'm not having problems with hunger and I am content on the 5 to 700 calories I'm eating a day. I'm averaging 80 to 90 grams of protein a day.

Do you eat Yogurt? What brand? What sort of toppings do you add to it?
Stevehud replied to scarletwitch19's topic in Food and Nutrition
Thanks SMYE, i agree most definitely in what you say My Nut and I work together on my low carb diet. i do take in carbs, its almost impossible not to , as you stated very well. I try to keep my carbs to natural carbs, and as much as i want bread, my sleeve doesn't like bread. We need some carbs to be turned into sugars for brain function. that old glucose in the brain thing, is a truth. Brain chemistry requires glucose, not in high amounts, but its needs to use those sugars in the metabolic processes in order to help absorb Proteins. I know how stunned i was was i once picked up a 100 calories Dannon yogurt and found 100 calories, sure but 16 grams of sugar, but that is 4 teaspoonfuls. That's just not right. lol I get between 5 and 7 sugars a day in vegetable form and almost always at dinner. and about 10 to 15 grams of carbs. I try to equal out my carbs with vegetable Fiber, and that helps. Hey, one of my favorite mini meals is broccoli roasted or pan seared with a little onion or onion salt, garlic, and ground sage and a little olive oil. So I'm gonna get carbs there and some sugars, but the good ones. I went from drinking 2 to 3 gallons of milk a week, ( 2%) that i can see milk sugars and milk fats being a big player in my weight issues. So I avoid Lactose and milk fats when I can. And my doctor and Nut require liver function tests regularly, and my numbers are very good. As we all regularly state to each his own, every Journey is separate. Sugars cause me to slow down my weight loss to a crawl, when I Hit a level I want to maintain at, I have a plan ready to reintroduce more carbs and natural sugars back into my diet, but for now I'm 8 7 and half months post op and I'm using this "honeymoon" time for all I can. This isnt doable by everyone, but for me it works. -
Do you eat Yogurt? What brand? What sort of toppings do you add to it?
Smye replied to scarletwitch19's topic in Food and Nutrition
Another quick comment - many of those dannon and yoplait products aren't actually fermented milk (yogurt), but are thickened soured milk with xanthan gum and other thickeners. I'm not saying don't eat them, just be aware that you may not be getting the probiotic cultures you assume. Nothing pisses me off more than large food companies (yoplait, for example) marketing things like GoGurt to kids and assuring mom that it's "yogurt" so it's good for your kid. Then you actually read the label and voila - just skim milk and corn syrup with some fillers, no yogurt whatsoever. That's much of the reason we have an obesity swell in our country, not the damn lactose in real yogurt. Thanks for reading my rant - my apologies if any of you work for yoplait/dannon/etc. Most big food does this - even whole f-ing foods. I trusted you guys!
