kimikat3 150 Posted March 4, 2013 Okay... I'm in liquids only. Not Clear Liquids, but liquids. I can have creamed Soups... Protein Shakes and all of the normal liquids.... What are the thoughts on Frozen Yogurt??? We have a great little frozen yogurt place here in town and I would LOVE some right about now, but I'm not sure that is considered to be a "liquid".... ??? My appologies if this question comes across as being lame (like I should know better), but I'm honestly on the fence about this one... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pottergirl 261 Posted March 4, 2013 i can't see how it would be bad..just get low or non fat...be careful of the sugar though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Threetimesacharm 1,400 Posted March 4, 2013 Not sure what kind of response you are looking for but here goes: are you kidding me? Frozen yogurt full of sugar no nutrient value. You do want to lose weight right? I bet that you did not pay for your surgery.........Wait until you can have pureed foods and enjoy some great greek yogurt full of Protein and goodness. Good Luck to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ISleevedIt 380 Posted March 4, 2013 I'm on full liquids also and my "cheat" sheet that was given to me from the dietician says low-fat/low-sugar yogurt and fat-free/sugar-free pudding. So If I was in our shoes, I would have some As long as it's low-fat/low-sugar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And yes, I did pay for my surgery (not that that should be a factor in any case. This surgery is the same regardless). Perhaps I should have been more specific in starting sugar free frozen yogurt OR sorbet. I am not at the point where I can have Greek yogurt yet, otherwise I would help myself to some of that. I realize that frozen yogurt doesn't have "nutritional value" but at this point in the game, I'm not getting much nutritional values from anything that I'm taking in (besides my Protein shake).

woman in me 307 Posted March 4, 2013 Just make sure you choose sugar free. It will melt to liquid once in your body Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My surgeon told me that I couldn't have pudding, yogurt until my second week (Wednesday). I guess with that being said, frozen yogurt would fall into those categories... better hold off a few more days. Thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Cheating" you've got this! Remember we are eating to live now not living to eat!! dde0a Agree! I wasn't looking to "cheat" in anyway... I guess I must be completely oblivious to how bad sugar free frozen yogurt is. I'm glad I posted this because I clearly need to look into what I "think" may be okay and what should be off limits. I know the obvious foods to stay away from, but never really though sf frozen yogurt would fall into thy category. Thanks for the feedback Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tawnie 99 Posted March 4, 2013 I think we should cut folks s break here. It is yogurt not a whole pie. I am doubtful we will all go through the rest of our lives without what we want. I ate a chocolate covered cherry today while with my dad at Harry and David. I did not explode or die. I did not like it either. But not the point. Just write it down and track in your food for the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenna P 1 Posted March 4, 2013 When I was on my liquid diet (days 3-13 post op), I could have yogurt..and I LOVE greek yogurt. so what I did when I wanted something dessert-ish was mix the plain yogurt with a little yogurt. Then I got more adventurous and froze it in an ice cube tray..kinda worked but wasn't like the usual froyo from the places around here. If you want something like frozen yogurt from those places, my best idea for you is to do what I did and freeze the yogurt. Maybe even add some Protein Powder? Good luck!

Thanks for the feedback [/quote'] I don't think it's horrible for you, for as much as you'd be able to eat it'd be about 100 calories but they're are carbs in it so theres that. I was tempted to eat some yesterday but decided it doesn't qualify as a full liquid lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrokeMyHalo 107 Posted March 4, 2013 KimiKat3: I imagine if it was sugar free, you'd be good! Those Fro-yo places are BOMB! I haven't been sleeved yet, but have been through the lapband post op stage (back when it was super serious to do liquids 2 weeks, 2 weeks soft...) and man did I get bored! I would get a small one, let it melt in your mouth a bit and eat just a little. See how you feel. I can't think of one thing wrong here- NO IDEA why people attack. This truly came off as an innocent question. How come you can't have greek yogurt yet? Did I overlook something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
