I am on a 3 week PreOp diet I have been told I can drink 4-5 Protein Shakes a day (160 cal max) and have Clear Liquids. I was also told I can have greek yogurt. My question is what kind? The ones with fruit and vanilla are pretty high in carbs but the plain is awful. What kind did you all have to eat. I know I will need this for after also.

Oikos is good, I get the traditional style with no fruit on the bottom (can't have the fruit on the bottom kind yet) and I found a new one at Walmart called vokos and i like it a lot!!!

Fat free and sugar free. There are a ton of brands. Also try Icelandic yogurt at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, it's even higher Protein than Greek.

What do you put in it to stop the sour taste? I had the FAGE this morning plain 0% and I used a splenda in it. Is this what everyone does?

If I had to eat the plain kind I would just skip the yogurt all together!!

Put it in with your shake in the blender! It will make it thicker!

Fage is the best!

I like the Voskos brand Greek yogurt, as well as Brown Cow and sometimes Chobani. I am a yogurt snob and won't eat any yogurt that isn't 100% natural. I refuse to put artificial sweeteners or flavors in it. All natural yogurt will have a few more carbs, so I just eat low carb elsewhere, or don't eat as much of the yogurt.

Yes. I would put stevia in it and a bit of vanilla extract.

I love Dannon light and fit greek. It's the only brand that my nutritionist allows. She said all the others have too much sugar. They have tons of great flavors. strawberry, blueberry, pineapple, cherry. But my absolute favorite is the toasted coconut vanilla. It tastes like dessert! I eat at least one a day, they're a great Protein source.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
