I know that some of you eat greek yogurt, and it seems to be a good snack food, but is it okay to eat the greek gyro sauce and the grilled chicken?

Technically speaking, you can eat whatever you want. Anything is ok within moderation.

With that said, I'd try to find out what's in it. Some is very fatty, so in which case I'd want to use very little. However, if it was leaner and not so fatty, I'd indulge in a little more.

I don't know if you have a costco by you but they have (in the refrigerated section) a tub of the tzatski (spelling, sorry) sauce that is lowfat/low cal (theirs is made with Greek yogurt) and very yummy. I use it in moderation and my kids like it for veggie dip.

No costco in my town :( it was actually a Greek restaurant work ladies were going to, and I wanted to try to find an acceptable lunch to be able to go with them, I went ahead and got the chicken gyro with no pita and no sauce and got a house dressing instead. (which was mostly vinegar, oil, and spices)

I would ask if they make the sauce (if not ask if they will tell you the calories listed on the container). If they do make it ask whether it's made with low fat yogurt. Full fat Greek Yogurt has has much fat calories as ice cream. Trader Joe's was giving samples of their full fat French vanilla Greek yogurt. I said to myself this tastes like melted ice cream. Well when I read the container it had the same calories!

Also often the meat in the Gyros are a mixture of ground up meats. May not really be that healthy. Most Greek places will have chicken Kabobs, I would probably say that would be a MUCH better option.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
