You can get the Torani syrups at most grocery stores (ie. Cub foods, Rainbow, Trader Joes) at least in Minnesota :-)

I shopped all around and if you have a Smart & Final near you they had the best prices I found. $5/bottle and $4/bottle if you bought 4+

Dannon Light and Fit Greek Blended is my favorite. I love the vanilla Coconut and the Key Lime! YUM!!! 12 grams of Protein and low sugar!

I eat Fage 0% plain yogurt, and add my Protein powder to it. 1/2 cup with a scoop of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury vanilla, plus a pinch of cinnamon tastes like cheesecake to me, plus it has over 30g of protein! That has been my go-to food since I got home from the hospital... the only thing I can definitely eat, and keep down!

I'd say stay away from the flavored yogurts. All those added artificial sugars are not really good for you. Get used to non fat Greek yogurt. Fage or gobani are great brands. Stay away from the Kroger brand. It is awful. . I use them in my shakes. So much Protein and if makes my shakes yummy.

I eat Chobani or Fage plain. The pre flavored yogurts have always tasted way too sweet to me- even before surgery. I use fresh fruit (peaches, blueberries, strawberries) to add a hint of flavor. Also use Syntrax Nectar Protein powder to add flavor...and even more protein. I have added a couple tbls high protein oatmeal to it, too for texture. But my ultimate yummiest favorite is a scoop of Garden of Life Raw Protein vanilla mixed with 1 cup plain Fage 0% ....40 grams of protein, 10g sugar and 220 calories!

I fortify my Greek Yogurt with GNC unflavored Protein powder. It raises the Protein to 30 grams and the calories are under 300. This way I get half my protein in first thing in the morning. Makes my day go much better!

I use plain nonfat greek yogurt for my Protein Shakes and yopait 100's. I prefer the strawberry. These two yogurts are staple in my diet. U do need to watch the sugar on all of them. Some flavors are higher than others in sugar. I am almost 5 months post nd down 92lbs so its working. Good luck, you're almost there.

Can u tell me what kind of Protein shakes u make?

I am currectly on full liquids stage. I can have yogurt so my plain is to get Fage plain Greek yogurt and get either peaches in the cup with their natural juices blend them to puree or baby food peaches all natural and mix it together. or I will put the greek yogurt in my nutribullet with frozen or fresh fruit and veggies and blend into a smoothie. I check with my NUT. He said as long as there are no lumps I am good to go. I do plain to get the unflavored Protein powder for additional Protein.< /p>

I don't normally like Greek yogurt (too sour creamy to me) but I know it's packed with lots o Protein so I've tried to like it. Just about 5 days ago, I bought 6 different brands/flavors to give them all a fair shake. The best so far?

Trader Joes Vanilla strawberry

Open Nature Honey

I HATE Chobani, Oikos, and Yoplait. Fage is good, just not fantastic. I also bought a Dannon Light and Fit (cappucino flavor) just haven't tried it yet. It's got the smallest amt of calories. I think it's 80. I don't really look at the carbs - just calories and Protein. The TJ's has hefty calories (180) for a tub of yogurt (it's 8 oz vs the normal 6).

Good luck in finding a good one. I Luv luv luv the 90 cal Fat Free Yoplait fruit blends but there's barely any protein in them. Still fairly healthy in my mind. Better than a Snickers bar! I consider anything healthy thats better than a Snickers bar! Sad, I know...

      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.
