Skyrim Icelandic Provisions



Recommended Posts

Just a quick food tip - most of us know that Greek yogurt is a good food choice after WLS (higher in Protein, goes down easy), but many brands with any flavor have a lot of added sugar. Skyr Icelandic Provisions is a new label for me, with great stats: in a big single-serving container (250g), it has 130 Cal, 11g sugar, 2g fat, and 15g protein. And it tastes great!
Enjoy!

That's still a lot of sugar (even if I'm only eating it in my second life)

Is that for plain or flavored?

And agreed, 11g of Sugar is a bit high considering it's added sugar and not natural sugars (they add cane sugar, it's not just from the fruits) The plain has 5g but it's not added, so that would be ok for most folks. But lots of us are on the 5/5 restriction (or something like it) where if there are added sugars, we are not supposed to consume more than 5g per serving. The other 5 is for fat per serving.

Siggis is another brand of Icelandic yogurt - similar to Greek in being filtered and concentrated, so higher Protein. Like Skyr, their flavored yogurts are a low sugar added, at around 11g total; compared to 6-8 g of naturally occurring sugar in unflavored yogurt, that isn't bad, and reasonable compromise between the usual national brands that can run 20+ g for the flavored varieties, or the usual "low carb" artificially sweetened types. The Icelandic yogurts also are nice in that they are not gaggingly sweet as most other flavored yogurts tend to be.

That's because the English don't like to acknowledge the Welsh!

Alternately

Chobani Greek (original plain non fat) is :

120 cal ,9g carb (6 sugar), 0g fat, 22g , Protein per 1 cup serving (227g)

add your own sugar free flavors (torani syrups, various Water flavorers or just fresh fruit)

The Icelandic Provisions is flavored - if I'm home I use unflavored and add my own what-not, but for something so portable and flavorful, I'm happy to indulge!

Fage (pronounced: fa-yeh!) 0% plain Greek yogurt is what I used in my morning smoothies, although I only use 1/4 cup instead of a full serving of 1 cup. Here is a screen shot of the nutrition information. I also eat it with sliced fresh strawberries and blueberries, and only 1/2 cup of yogurt.

      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.
