If anyone is in the full liquids phase and having a hard time try Greek Yogurt. I had 4 oz of stoneyfields blueberry Greek yogurt and I had no issues. This is the only thing ive really enjoyed in five days . Hope this helps someone

Thanks for post. Have been afraid to try greek yogurt because thought it might give me problems with fruit in it.

My surgery was 8/13. When was yours?

I go with plain Fage yogurt. It tastes like sour cream and is so good going down.

Try the plain greek yogurt and add in sugar free Torani Syrup (or other sugar free sweetener of your choice). I add my own fruit so I can control the amount. You could also add in pureed fruits since you're in the early stages. Loaded with Protein and pretty easy on the tummy (or at least mine).

My Surgeon told me to stay away from fruit yogurts during my pre-op. I was also sleeved on 8/13 but im still on Clear Liquids to transistion to full liquids next week. When i was on pre-op i got the plain greek yogurt and added sweetner like sweet n low or splenda to it, an it made the taste better. you can also try some extracts that will help with taste some

MY DH bought me Greek yogurt a couple of months ago. it was a generic, which i always buy in food, BUT the yogurt was terrible. i was disappointed cuz i had heard great things, Protein etc.

i bought a brand name yesterday - and the taste difference was like night and day.

i had the blueberry - unbelieveable how much i loved it - strawberry is my favorite flavor , they also have peach - other flavors i don't care for - i don't want to overdue it, having daily, then i'll get sick of it. for now, yumyum

I was told the same stay away from fruit yogurt because your stomach cannot tolerate some fruit. you can add the fruit only if you know what you put and you know that you can eat them.

some fruit has some Fiber pieces which our new stomach cannot digest in the first couple of month....

Those are good but have a lot more sugar and a lot less Protein than the real Greek yogurts. If its taste I recommend using a sweetner.

Ok thanks I'll try that the next time I go to the store, I live alone so my trips have been few and far between, that's a good thing!

I do the okios I think that's how it's spelled I have plain, blueberry and carmel. It has like 11 g of sugar and 13 g of carbs and 10 g of Protein. My nut as well as my physician told me it was ok . I brought the individual (4 oz serving) and it was Awesome:) my sleeve had no problems digesting it and an hour later I was able to get 16 oz of Water down . This was the first meal ive had since my surgery on 8/14. Each physician and NUT may vary in your diet and when you should eat what. As a nurse I always reccomend you follow the specific orders of you person physician. Dr James Harris in Wilmington has you on purée diet two weeks out if you tolerating full liquid well.
