I'm also one who can hardly stand regular yogurt. It's a texture/consistency thing. I can do a few bites but then start having trouble with it (nothing to do with band, I have food issues!). I can't eat cottage cheese either, unless it's in something like tuna or lasagna! I have discovered that I really LIKE greek yogurt! It's thicker and you need to stir well but it's tangy and just really good! You can buy it at any grocery store. Raley's, where I shop most of the time (in my little town), only has a small variety of one brand but I just bought some flavored ones at Trader Joe's today when I was in the city (an hour from home). I went ahead and bought one of each flavor. I have to go back to the city next week for more appts. so I'll buy more of what I like next week. Try it, you might like it! And Sue, if we lived closer I'd have taken those off your hands for you! LOL!!

Had Surgery 5.22.12 & very happy to report that I feel great! Traveled 2.5 hours to Washington DC was able to walk 3.5 miles to visit the MLK, Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln Memorials. Did all of that walking in 95 degree weather on a Greek yogurt and a bottle of Dasani Water! Just made it back to NJ and had my dinner, Sabras Garlic Hummus, and Solid White Tuna, no mayo but made with french's honey mustard (10 calories) I encourage all of my co recent bandsters to get moving, allow the band to restrict your intake, and allow your excercise to burn off the pounds!

I also have a cup of hot coffee before having the yogurt. -
4ozs of plain or vanilla greek yogurt with a tablespoon of creamy peanut butter mixed in. Tastes like the middle of a Reese peanut butter cup.

3 Weeks Post Op And Starting To Gain Weight
babycakes86 replied to Mrs. Curtis's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
im 2 weeks out and have seen this.. i gained 2 lbs and freaked out. im told this is normal... as mentioned before.. im very careful now.. because since the swelling has gone down i get hungrier faster and again told this is normal.. i was afraid to eat between meals but did talkt o my nutritionist about it and she recomended i have a yogurt.. or pull my meals slightly closer together.. weight gain is normal because your body is just getting used to having food in it again after going thru the liquids.. your body thinks its not going to get anything so its storing everything you put into it. watch your carb intake and try to stay away from sugar. keep up with ur workout plana nd you will be successful. -
Just about 10 months post op- how can i jump start the scale again?
mi75 posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi all- I have had a major stop of the scale. i am able to eat much more now than i could three months ago, and even though i'm eating about 1100 cals a day, the scale is not moving at all.i have been at this same weight for about 14 wks. i don't know if this is just a HUGE LONG stall, or if i am back-sliding. i want to jump start things again so i can lose the last 20 lbs and reach goal by my one-year anniversary. i KNOW i need to go back to shakes, broth, SF Jello, yogurt, etc. anybody have any good suggestions further than this? the weather in my area has finally broke, so i am able to get back outside and walk again, that should help too. thanks! -
surgery in 5 days..scared..help me..
Kay Adams replied to drummer's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Well u r lucky to only have 5days of liquids. My doc put us on 3 weeks of liquids and some minor food like oatmeal, yogurt, chicken, fish and salad. So this will be very difficult for me. But its a means to and end. -
I like the greek yogurt either plain or I will add some cinnamon, vanilla and a little splenda...very good!!

Jachut, if you thought the idea of our dough in a can was weird -- have you seen our drinkable yogurt? How about the squeeze yogurt that comes in a long plastic tube? Not to mention some of the 40+ flavors that are available.

Would Like A Mentor, Please
Michelle Gelli Ruiz replied to Michelle Gelli Ruiz's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
@ Zinhaa: I'm not looking for someone in my area particularly. Just someone I can 'talk' to here. Thank you so much for replying to me! I'm not on mushy food yet, but I can't wait!! I'm so hungry now all the time. I'll have some yogurt, or a shake & it will tide me over for an hour or so, then I'm starving again. I just keep drinking Water. -
9 month update. :-)
terry1118 replied to terry1118's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks to everyone here who encouraged me and answered my many, many questions both before and after surgery. Because of you I knew what to expect and was prepared for things not covered in my workshops and nurse education class (like the 11 pounds gained from IV fluids!). You shared recipes for different stages (like ricotta bake and chili) and made product recommendations (like cherry chocolate Greek yogurt and Protein granola). You shared advice on everything - constipation, foamies, rashes, gas, dry skin, social issues, vomiting, and on and on. You shared funny stories that made me laugh (the thread about gas was one). You offered sympathy and encouragement when I was struggling. You celebrated every NSV with me and cheered me on. We all help each other. That's what makes this group so special! Thank you!!! :-) -
A Couple of questions.
Baconville replied to Sunlight61's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Molly, so you eat it cold, right? I have found recipes and ideas for cold. I normally have cherry or blueberry Greek Yogurt with a tablespoon of ground flax seed. I miss hot cereal. With cold foods you can always add Protein powder, to bump up the protein if you need to. I have yet to find a powder that works in hot foods. I live in Minnesota and this winter I have really missed starting my day with a hot breakfast! My NUT told me that Egg Beaters would be my best option for a hot breakfast. I just can't get excited about eggs in the morning, although I do have them for either lunch or dinner at least a couple days a week. Thank you so much for the ideas! I am definitely going to check out that site. Always looking for new ideas!! Carol -

What Greek yogurt do you all buy? Calories? Carbs?
-
I'm not a fan of Greek yogurt, but there are so many varietes now that I'd just go into a grocery store and look on the labels. Our local grocery has varieties I've never heard of.

I started milky protein shakes and yogurt by day 6. Just take it slow and stop if you are feeling ill. I personally had a heck of a time with the clear stage. Once I started drinking regular protein shakes, the food dreaming waned a bit. Good luck!!

It is Officially May 2....only 2 full days of pre-op diet left...then a sleep and waking up and BAM going to clinic. I am going to be soon...so that means i have to deal with the hunger for 12 hours tomorow...YAY!!! In the week....first day i had yogurt 3 large containers...second day half a large container...afternoon day 2-day 6 zero food. Day 6 evening...had a stupid taste of pizza...was really pissed at myself...but i'm not worried about it. Day 7 had some pickles ( other diets have them in it, plus they dont have fat, carbs, sugar...Just salt...which it says on our official pre-op diet thing that you can eat...i'm still on the fence whether it was an ok choicee....but its done) And today...nothing. So basically...i'm not worried, im sure my liver is shrunk, but i'm not chancing it...NO MORE eating anything other than what is on the sheet. I think tomorow i'm picking up some crystal light...add some flavor to my water. And some sugar free jello. That will add something i can bite into.

Hey everyone, well yeah...since day 1 of pre-op diet, i havent been eating...is that bad. The first day i only ate yogurt, second day...maybe a half cup for the whole day and since then...nothing.

I would kill for anything to eat...and i still have 5 days to go....AGHHHHHHHHHH

Jannet, As of this morning, after 6 full days of pre-op diet, I have lost 8 lbs (haven't changed my ticker yet. I'll wait till tomorrow). I think everyone is different. Robgoblin said he lost 20 lbs in 6 days. Maybe that's because he did not eat for a few days. For me, in the last couple of days, I ate but barely because, yogurt was starting to taste yukky and I just did not feel hungry. I only ate to get some substance in my stomach. In the first 3 days of my diet, I ate much more and I only lost 3 lbs.

Robgoblin, The ladies have a point. Eat something. One member mentioned that she made a shake with yogurt, milk, and ice for dinner. I tried that and it was yummy. Maybe you can try that, Robgoblin. Variety would certainly make it much easier for all of us. What are all the food items that have similar nutritional content/value/restriction to yogurt, cottage cheese and/or chicken breast or more important, to the purpose of this exercise - which is to shrink the liver? If there is a list, it would make the pre-op diet much more tolerable. That is one thing that could be improved upon by the TLBC clinic. I was told that Dr. Coubourn/Mumford's clinic allows its pre-op diet to include (aside from Optifast) various green vegetables. Contrary to TLBC, their clinic disallow dairy products. I am going to contact TLBC to enquire about the matter. I'll let you know once I get an answer. Maybe you can eat something then. Of course, you can contact them yourself as well to get a quicker answer. I am starting my 4th day of pre-op diet today. It is not as bad as I thought. I thought that I would feel very uncomfortable with seeing other people eat real food but I am actually not. Last night, my family and I went out for one of those scrumptious multi-course chinese dinner. Of course, I could not eat a thing on the table but I was generally o.k. with it. The one thing that was hard to resist was the scallop fried rice - so yummy looking. Trying to explain why I could not eat the food was more uncomfortable than not eating itself. Luckily, no one questioned me when I told them that my doctor has put me on a very strict diet to bring my weight down because my blood pressure is too high. This support site has been tremendously helpful to all us that are trying hard to hang in there. Thank you very much to everyone.

Robgoblin: ya better start eating man....as unappetizing as yogurt is to you. Hey, I get it...I refused to eat cottage cheese, but I did eat more yogurt to make up for it. You really HAVE to eat....otherwise you will make yourself sick and you don't want to be sick for your surgery.....or so weak that they can't do it....ya know? So, try and suck it up and eat the yogurt...it IS the lesser of two evils!! You don't want your surgery to be post-poned and you don't want to be so weak you will have post-op problems..... GO EAT SOME YOGURT YOUNG MAN!!!!! :guess :hungry: :paranoid

God...tell me about it, im day 3 now...i find it's going better....yesterday i barely ate anything...i find it better to not eat anything than to eat yogurt. Whereas day 1 i ate yogurt all day. Yeah, i'm sure you didn't compromise anything...but we can both do it!!! Let's stay strong.
