I got to visit with my coordinator at my first post op Dr. visit. I love the fact that they don't give you the lap band and send you on your way. Each visit we talk with the coordinator about eating, nutrition, and all the changes you are going to go through in your every day life.

Guess what?!? I just found out how many carbs are in my yogurt. OMG!!! I was always lead to believe yogurt was healthy and good for you. She showed me an alternative way to eat it and it still tastes great and I can have it on my pureed food week.

6 oz plain greek yogurt

1 packet of splenda coffee flavoring french vanilla (in the coffee aisle)

I know I didn't know they had that either! :o:D

1 packet of regular splenda

Instead of the splenda flavoring you can mix it with flavored Protein powders and up the Protein it has. She said Gold Standard casein in creamy vanilla tastes like cheese cake. I love cheese cake! :wub:

I hope others will share some tips that got them through the pre and post diets, and just everyday since being banded.

I like to add stevia (or splenda) and cinnamon to greek yogurt. That combo is also good in cottage cheese warmed up a bit.

I put Mio flavoring in my nonfat plain greek yogurt. I don't typically like yogurt, but this tastes pretty good. 100 cals, 18 g Protein, and 7 g carbs. It's even better with granola, but that adds cals and carbs.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
