Greek yogurt

[slkesler 28]

I have been told not to have any yogurt with fruit in it. Any ideas why?

I have Greek yogurt w/ fruit everyday (100 cals) Great source of Protein (8g).

I would 'guess' that the fruit part is what the doc or nutritionist is balking at, beings that it is sugar. But balanced with a clean diet, there is no way this is going to thwart your wl unless you have one too many of them.

I am not sure where you are at in your wl journey. If for example you are postop I suppose you won't want to eat yogurt w/ fruit nonstop because the cals can add up quickly. But if you are on a regular diet it's not a problem.

Would love to hear your docs/nutritionists rationale. Thanks for sharing

I was told not to eat yogurt with fruit in it during the liquid diet phase of my post-op. The chunks are too much for a newly banded system to handle. Is that what they were talking about?

Probably so since I'm newly banded!!!!

I wasn't allowed yogurt until the mushy phase, which was 14 days post op. And at the point, the only fruit I could have was unsweetened apple sauce and bananas. Various other fruits were added back in the following weeks.

All doctors are different in the way they lay this out, but being that you're newly banded, I'm sure that's why they told you to hold off.

I eat nonfat plain greek yogurt with MIO flavoring and a tbsp of granola (keep the granola out if you are in mushy stage). I don't like yogurt, but I love this.

Im on day 4 and my stage 2 says 2oz yougurt w pureed fruit. I used mango baby food. It's confusing how all drs have such different programs. Im down 20lbs on day 4. I know that will stop soon. My stage 2 i get cream of wheat, yougurt and some milk.

I never thought about putting MIO in yogurt. What a great idea!
