I have run across some very high Protein low sugar yogurt. It's called SIGGI'S. I found it at Wegmans. It's Icelandic style yogurt and it is pricey but it has 14 grms protein and only 9 sugar. Very thick and creamy 8 flavors.

Dannon and Yoplait both now have low sugar Greek yogurt. The strawberry and vanilla flavors only have 7g sugar. Other flavors too, but I didn't look at those.

WHERE DID YOU GET TURKEY PEPPERONI?

living4myself_gb1-21-13:

I get it at Harris Teeter or food Lion, but I think most grocery stores have it. Look where the bags of pizza pepperoni are, Hormel makes turkey pepperoni. It has been a great treat. I toast it in the toaster oven. Crispy, salty, and all Protein.

Aside from those who are on their liquid diets, I feel like I am eating so limited/restricted compared to others who are on on the pureed foods stage like me. For one I am scared to try new foods. I've gotten sick a couple of times already once from eating eggs and once from eating pureed (canned) split pea Soup.< /p>

My instruction packet says that by now I should be eating some soft foods but when I contacted my surgeon the other day she still wanted me on mushy/pureed foods. I'm glad I have an appointment With her next Friday.

I'm scared to try new foods but at the same time I miss eating and I am left feeling hungry only on pureed foods.

Today I had 4 ounces of 2% cottage cheese for Breakfast, 2 ounces of chicken broth & one 8z. carton of Muscle Milk for lunch and I may have 4 Oz lentils or chick peas for dinner.< /p>

Not enough protein!

I'm going back through the forums getting so ideas, can't wait to try the buffalo chicken cupcakes! I feel sometimes Im not eating the right things.. But I was told if I can tolerate it (like bread or pasta) to eat it.. I can't eat very much at all.. but I eat alot of string cheese and try to eat my Protein before anything else that I make for dinner. I think I'm going to start getting sliced deli meat to eat with my cheese because I'm struggling getting my protein in. My hair is falling out as a result of it.. so hopefully I can get this all figured out, I had surgery 10/31/12-- so its not like I'm a newbie at this, just some days are better than others. I eat alot of crackers, and cashews and try to eat a Protein Bar once a day, but I'm getting tired of those! I don't like the drinks either. When I want something sweet, I eat teddy grahams. I appreciate you all posting ideas, I'm going to try the morningstar sausage and boca burgers. Thanks again!

Tonight I'm making Philly cheesesteak-style sloppy joes. It's ground turkey with peppers and onions and melted provolone on top on a whole wheat roll (for hubby, no roll for me)

Here's the recipe: http://www.emilybite...-joes.html#more

Ive made these before I had surgery, very good.. I'll try them again too, just without the bun this time! :)

Yes. I roast them in the oven before I grind them. I love cumin and this makes it rich and warm and toasty.

I found Kashi made a pizza 15 grams of Protein a slice. Now I could I only eat a small sliver but it was good. I've been wanting pizza so I satisfied my craving healthier. Problem is super thirsty afterwards

      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.
