Yogurts Brand

[Yodelania 60]

Hello everyone!

I hope everyone is doing okay. So I went groceries shopping this morning and I got stuck in the yogurt area and at the end didn't buy any because they are all more than 5grams of sugar. So my question is which are the brands that we POST-OP pts can eat? Pls help! I need to spice up my diet a bit since Proteins shakes are driving me crazy lol I'm bored of them.

I'm on my purre stage but I'm introducing food by small steps like for instance; yesterday I went to a cook out (YES I DARE TO GO LOL) and they were Mexican style so I eat a 1/4 of tortilla w/tsp of sour cream/guacamole lettuce & tomatoe NO meat and it went down just FINE!!! So anyways I'm doing fine w/food but is getting kind of bore - anyone?

Regards

Yodelania

I use Dannon Light & Fit Carb smart. It says it's diabetic friendly. The only flavors I have found are strawberry and vanilla. Glad to hear you are doing so well!

I like the fit&active strawberry banana and idk if you have an Aldi in your area but they have a brand called happy farms or something like that and its lowfat and they have several different flavors. I picked up a whipped chocolate mousse yesterday but I haven't tried it yet. When was your surgery?

I saw you mentioned you are on the purée stage; how far post-op are you?? Great that you are able to get that stuff down. It gives me hope and I'm only 6 days post op and already getting tired of the choices I have. I have a huge soft spot for Mexican food lol

Thanks for the feedback! I'm 21 days post-op but my MD told me to star on the purée phase 11days ago and to slowly introduce regular food if to see how it goes, I'll see him on the 16th so I guess he'll will give me the okay for regular food.

I guess I just want to see how would my stomach reacts to the food I ate yesterday but I wont dare to eat meat unless is purée cuz I'm scare of any bad reaction lol

Thanks ladies!

I just started trying to eat crackers and I didn't like that feeling. I also ate 5 multi grain Pringles and that was ok

I guess everyone's body reacts/heals differently. I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow for my one week follow up; at that time we will discuss progressing to purée food... I have to admit I'm terrified even though I had lap band and been through this I was a lot less scared last time around.

I think we need to do the fat free kinds? Is there anything less than 5g out there? I am not a yogurt fan but the only one i can stomach is the Yoplait Light & then I have to mix in granola so I don't think I'll be doing much yogurt. I do know that the Greek yogurts are the best because they are higher in protein...but yuck!

[Anjela424 23]

Fortunately I love yogurt so I'm good there :-)

I've never liked yogurt.. But part of that I think is mental for me. I tried it as a kid and didn't like it and have just convinced myself since that I don't like it lol

[Anjela424 23]

Lol try it frozen.....more like an ice cream treat

[mary818 66]

Anjela- I'm just a baby when it comes to trying things but maybe I'll try to give it a chance frozen..I have had/liked frozen yogurt!

[Anjela424 23]

Let me know how it goes

[mary818 66]

I definitely will, thanks for the tip.
