Flavored Yogurt During Full Liquids Period

[JohnT 12]

I am five days out of surgery and in the full liquids phase of my diet. I'm wondering if anyone has had bad results with any flavored yogurts out there. I'm looking at trying the Yoplait Greek 100 cal yogurt but it has 7 g of sugar per serving. Has anybody else had any experiences with these types of yogurts either positive or negative?

I was sleeved on 07/14 and eat the cannon 80 cal flavored (no chunks) with no problems

I wish I could eat yogurt, My doc wants me to do Protein shakes, blended/strained Soups or broths - milk consistency or thinner for the first 2 weeks (my surgery was on 7/16) I cant eat yogurt till the pureed stage.

Mine is somewhat like yours except I can have yogurt, oatmeal (very thin), broth and blended/strained Soups. I don't exactly know what they mean when they say blended/strained soups so I haven't had any. Oh yeah I can have low fat small curd cottage cheese.< /p>

But it will be worth it in the long run right? (please please say yes im pre op and on my 2 week liquid only diet and dying for a sandwich I need the motivation)

On my doc's nutrition guide, he wanted all Protein Shakes. But when I had bloating/nausea with them, he said greek yogurt was okay. Generally, carbs should be under a set amount for a day, but realistically, it is okay to have a few if it helps you meet your Protein goals. Eventually, you will have to integrate healthy carbs back into your diet, so I wouldn't get this rabid NO CARBS EVER mantra stuck in your head. I value learning to have a healthy relationship with food over religiously sticking to a diet that might not be working for me.
