Week #2 - how do I find low sugar drinks?



Recommended Posts

I'm irritated!!!! I have moved on to creamy Soups and drinkable yogurts about I can't seem to find drinkable yogurts that are low in carbs and sugar. Nurse said I could do Activia but it's full of carbs and sugar.....help?

Unless you are going to use products with artificial sugars you won't. As your nurse how much sugar/carbs per day or per X amount of calories is allowable and then plan your menu around that. Keep in mind your body needs some carbs and sugar to function so if you are working out you may have a little more leeway.

I make Choboni protien shakes, just dilute the yogurt with skim milk. It is great.

I used carbmaster from Fred Meyers. It's their own brand and really low carb. My NUT told me to thin them down during my full liquid but I just had them straight. They are yummy if you have a Fred Meyer near you.

when I was ready for yogurt we get the carbsmart at krogers. everything else had to much sugar. when the carbsmart is out of stock my next choice is chobani the plain. as far as drinks I buy a Water Enhancer at a healthy living market that has stevia as the sweetner. comes in a few flavors. I also kept organic regular juice around and dilute 50/50 that was me I diluted a little more then my program called for. otherwise I drank and still do caffeine free ice tea and I use stevia . In the Protein Shakes I tried so many the only one brand that didnt hurt my tummy and wasnt to sweet to me was the pure Protein shakes. has many flavors. very few carbs I know it has a differant artificial sweetner but I put up with that sweetner for a few months till I was able to handle more solids. it took me almost 3 or so months....many days I didnt care to just drink. my shakes were accounted for fluids so I was getting both in. hope this helps..:)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
