Making yogurt with special probiotics
Jonathan Carlson posted a topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Did anyone see this video with Dr Berg? He's interviewing another Dr that makes his own yogurt (sort of). Does anyone do this? Looks interesting . Interesting video. Just wanted to ask before I buy all the stuff! Sent from my SM-G981U1 using Tapatalk -

Looks good. I used to eat yogurt parfaits non stop in the early years. -

This yogurt bowl has become a hyper fixation snack for me and the kiddos. My little one and I usually share one 💞 Kefir yogurt, fruit (I do berries, mangoes, pomegranate, whatever I have on hand really), pumpkin seeds, a sprinkle of chia seeds, crushed pecans/walnuts/pistachios, and a drizzle of honey. -

Everything protein bagels! Made with Greek yogurt. ~5 g protein and 76 cals each. -
My snack go to is cottage cheese. But for snacks I tend to go with cheese, Greek yogurt and nuts to try to get my protein in.

What Are Some Things That Surprised You After Surgery?
AmberFL replied to Beks18's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Being lactose intolerant! Never ever have I dealt with that, but I cannot have regular yogurt or ice cream. I have to eat lactose free fage yogurt, or froyo is okay and doesn't caught tummy issues. -

Well, I finally decided to join the fun here in this thread: I pretty typical breakfast for me: This is ~3/4 cups of 2% Greek Yogurt, some thawed frozen cherries and some protein boosted granola. I don't really log my food, so I'm just guessing as to nutrition, but I'd think this is ~250 cals and ~22 grams of protein. Why 2% Greek Yogurt? Because that's what my wife prefers, so that's what we buy. I don't have a strong preference, but personally would probably buy full fat if I were buying it just for me. Note that I often change out the fruit based on what we have and what's fresh in the store. -

Fixed myself a bowl of this Levantine inspired bowl. Chicken cooked in a garlicky yogurt gravy with cauliflower and topped with crispy ground beef. I added scallions, parsley and chili crisp. How I did 👇 I ended up finishing it (took me a couple of hours though). Guessing around 250-300 calories for the bowl? -
Cottage cheese 1 c is 30 (mix with with a savory protein powder for more), tofu is 1.5 cups for 30g, Greek yogurt is very different per brand but around 1.5c and will easily take on protein powder for flavor. Salmon and tuna are about 1/2 c per 25 but adding protein is harder. 5 eggs is 30. So for low volume boost… cottage cheese or Greek yogurt with the highest protein with a powdered protein mix in would likely be best. Using Seeq or another water flavoring protein powder is also great. Just remember don’t cook or dump your powder into hot stuff or it’ll separate and get grainy. Hall a cup Greek yogurt with a protein powder scoop is 40g of protein and is kinda awesome 20g per 1/4 cup for those with tiny tummies. Like a small planned snack or meal to bump you into the .8-1.2 g/kg of protein many shoot for with diet or lifting to save their own bodies’ protein from getting chewed on. I find only 60g or protein is needed to reduce/suppress my hunger though. Caution with using protein powder with cooking… it can separate as it heats and 2 often the fake sugars it’s packaged with are not allowed to be heated as they change to not so great chemicals. I need to look up which. I forget. But there are protein peanut butter bars, tofu pies etc if you want alternative solids. Pinterest has a bunch

Purée Stage
GreenTealael replied to powell.j.Sylvia's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mostly protein shakes, yogurt and soups. -
Pureed foods. Yuck!!
AShimmerRemains replied to Monica Justice's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Late to the party, but if anyone is still looking for puree options, some options from my program that werent blending meats include Pureed soups Refried beans Hummus Yogurt Applesauce Babyfood Oatmeal, cream of wheat, or grits made thin. For bonus points add in a scoop of protein powder Thin mashed potatoes. Add bone broth gravy for protein and moisture. Mashed sweet potato Fauxtato style cauliflower puree -
Deli meats, lightly cooked fish, smoked fish, prawns, tuna, softly scrambled eggs, sashimi and cheese were my go to things. As you can see I craved the salty side. At the end of the day I would finish with a protein yogurt or protein pudding and a latte or a glass of milk, plain or made into a protein milkshake made with PB2 powder and banana

This looks really good. I had a lot of pickle salads on my preop diet. I think it was just lettuce, pickles and plain yogurt. 😆 -

I don’t have an idea yet how long. Need to lose 13 pounds and then see the nutritionist, psych etc. The pre-surgery diet I was given is a 1200 calorie. 60-80 grams PRO 130 grams Carbohydrates 30-45 grams Fat Breakfast 3 PRO Servings OR 2 PRO plus 1 Yogurt 1 Starch, 1 Fruit, and 1 Fat Lunch Same as above PLUS 2 non-starchy vegetables Dinner 3 PRO 2 Non-Starchy Vegetables 1 Starch, 1 Fruit, and 1 Fat MAX of 2 Yogurts per day -
I was also allowed scrambled eggs and I made pureed egg salad (that wasn’t bad). My saving grace were refried beans with a little 2% cheese and the ricotta bake. Just be sure your tomato sauce doesn’t have chunks or that you puree it if so. I got a little kitchen aid food processor. Not cheap but cute enough to leave on the counter and I use it now to make pico and guacamole so it wasn’t a waste (they do make much cheaper ones though if you have room to store it I just have a tiny kitchen). I imagine you could use a blender or nutra bullet in retrospect in a pinch but it doesn’t give you as much control over the consistency. The nutra bullet comes in handy to make drinkable yogurts and smoothies later too. The drinkable yogurt you should be able to do during the puree phase as well (i just used yogurt, fruit and almond milk).

A Thread Dedicated to Cottage Cheese 😂😂 Omg😅
kristieshannon replied to Mspretty86's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
I have the weird post-covid effect of yogurt (all yogurts!) tasting metallic. So cottage cheese has replaced it for me. I eat mine with a handful of blueberries and a sprinkle of chopped walnuts. -

Struggling with Food Tracking and ADHD
AmberFL replied to omgsharon's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
^^yes!!!! Meal Prepping is really the key to success!!! It doesn't have to be a huge meal prep. I only meal prep my bfast and lunches. Then my snacks are super duper simple. Cheese and jerky, or a yogurt and berries, Even a protein shake with a cold brew. The simpler the better for me otherwise when I over complicate things I get annoyed and don't do it. -
All protein is now gross
summerseeker replied to zeskyizblack's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am sorry to say this but you will either loose hair or you won't. There is nothing you can do about it. Its a fact. Muscle is a different matter, protein does help there. I had a super fierce restriction due to swelling. I had to eat tiny meals about 8 times a day. I split my 3 meals into little pots and as a grazer this may be a way forward for you. I struggled to make my 60 gram protein quota. I survived, and eventually so did my hair. Look for protein yogurts in the supermarket. A 200 gram yogurt will have 24 grams of protein in it. They were a game changer for me. -
Thank you so much for writing me back. I am glad to know I am doing ok. I will try the greek yogurt liquid if I can get to the store. And that's a helpful meeasurement ( protei+ carb). for future. I will try not to stress.

Back to basics. Taking vitamins
c945105 replied to ShoppGirl's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I used to struggle big time with the timing of my supplements, especially Calcium and my multivitamin with Iron. I tried different combos but always felt off, either nauseous or I’d just forget to take something. What’s worked lately is spacing them like Calcium with lunch and dinner, then the multivitamin with a small snack later at night. I learned the hard way that taking Iron too close to Calcium blocks the absorption, so I don’t mess with that anymore. And Greek yogurt has helped me too. It's gentle on the stomach for taking pills, especially early in the day. I’ve also been using this app called Menalam that figures out when and what to take based on your diet and habits. It gives personalized supplement recs, and I only adjust when my schedule changes or new lab results come in. -
I need to get back into the swing of taking my vitamins and I’m thinking it was easiest to remember at mealtimes. Exactly how many hours do we need to wait between calcium and the iron in the multivitamin for it to absorb properly? What about calcium and calcium? I’m thinking calcium at breakfast and lunch and multivitamin at dinner but I don’t ALWAYS wake up super early so there may be less time between the two calcium’s on occasion. I used to do the multivitamin with breakfast and calcium at dinner and bedtime BUT now I make my protein shake into a Proffee (protein shake and iced coffee) and my tummy doesn’t like the vitamin with it diluted that way.i suppose I could try taking the multi with my evening snack which is a Greek yogurt? What do you guys do??

January 2025 Surgery Buddies!
Melissa💖💜💙 replied to Melissa💖💜💙's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Two months?! No, my diet changes week to week. Second week after surgery, I started full liquids. Third week, pureed foods and things like soup, yogurt, pudding, applesauce. Later this week I can start with soft foods: eggs, white fish, mashed beans. The week after, I can try tuna, salmon, chicken, cooked veggies. The week after that, I can try beef and pork. Every doctor has different post-op directions. -

I had roux en y bypass on the 22nd. My pre-op diet was: Cream of Wheat and a protein shake for breakfast, snack a sugar free jello or pudding, lunch was broth and a low-fat Greek yogurt and dinner was low-fat cream of Chx or tomato soup with cottage cheese. I had one to two more shakes as snacks or more jello or sugar free popsicles. Also at least 64oz of water!
