Hi. I am Pre op trying out some new things and was wondering if anyone has added powder to yogurt. If so, how was it? What flavors did you mix and how much powder would you recommend adding ? Thanks !!

I always add a full scoop to a carton of yogurt then split into two servings.....prefer vanilla powder in vanilla yogurt with some fruit added...blueberries are my fav.

This morning I used light chocolate strawberry yogurt with skim milk and vanilla body fortress Protein Powder. It was a bit foamy! I'll try another flavor of yogurt next time around!

You could probably mix the Protein in what ever you want, it will change the textrue of food etc. I like to get it all over and done with ASAP. I get my min. 64 grams in in one shake, I mix dutch cholocate with Water and drink that for a snack at 10 - 10:30 every single day. I'm not a big fan of the protein but I make sure I have it daily though !!! I think what ever works best for you and your taste buds :) would be fine !

I am pre op and I have been eating a lot of yogurt and adding one scoop of unflavored Protein powder to it. I have had a bad tooth for the past several weeks and got it pulled last week. So I feel like I have had kinda a trial run eating the yogurt and getting the protein in. One of my favorites has been the Dannon greek 2xprotein vanilla yogurt with a scoop of unflavored protein and about a tablespoon of sugar free pudding mix, pistachio yum, but I bet that won't be good to soon after surgery, but banana pudding has been good. It is like eating some fancy desert to me. NOW all this may change after surgery. But this could be a good option for those that can't stand to drink the shakes.< /p>

BBdoodle....I've been reading a lot lately about not taking in more than 30 grams of protein at a time because that's all your body can process at one time. That if you put a double scoop in that its just a waste of that extra scoop.....I'm no expert....but when I read your post it made me think about all i had

Yeah your right, I went to GNC today and was told the same thing your can only absorb so much at a time. Just like with your Calcium and multi vit split the dose so your body can absorb it and not waste your money by adding 2 scoops.

      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.
