Thoughts on Oikos Triple Zero Greek Yogurt? My RNY is May 9.
120 calories
15g Protein
7g Sugars
15g total Carbs
I'd like to know as well because I can barely get in 32 oz some days. I'm only 2 months post op though so I don't know if that makes a difference. Plus my job makes it a little difficult to me to get to a drink at times. I could go half the day and realize I haven't drank any water. I can't take but more than 2-3 sips at a time though so I try to grab that in between patients.

It depends on the type of surgery you had. A DS procedure has much different requirements than say a lap band.
In general, aim for high protein, some good fats, lower carbs and sugar.
Absolutely worry more abou****er intake than protein at this stage. You will be able to eat more protein soon enough. The shakes are enough for now just begin to add small portions of regular food at a time. Everyone is different I am able to stomach most meats but still drink the majority of my protein.
I have tried everything. Diet, supplements, herbs, accupuncture etc. I feel nauseated when I eat unless it is an apple and nutbutter. I have a very difficult time with carbs and avoid them (and all grains) to keep my blood sugars stable.
My question is: If I were to just find a meal replacement shake or bar, what would be a nutritionally sound choice? I quit protein shakes years ago because they were so highly processed that my blood sugar would go bananas. I have recently tried Jay Rob's egg white protein and seem to do OK with that.
Anyone else find that over the years they just can't seem to tolerate food?
Thanks everyone,

early on I did egg salad with cottage cheese it is delish. I enjoy scrambeled or plan hard boiled with lil salt you cant go wrong with eggs.
Oh man. I was only on clear liquids for three days, including the remainder of surgery day. I can see how 6 days would be really hard. In that case, I don't think your cravings for real food are abnormal at all whatsoever. At the end of day three of the clear liquids, I was ready to get something real in my stomach, even if it was just a protein shake. I wasn't physically hungry, so I think it might just be a psychological thing, maybe partly physical? Who knows?
From what I read, you cannot use Nsaids with the sleeve either. As a matter of fact, there are a lot of things you can have with the RNY that you can't have with the sleeve. Here is a link to see what you can have with what surgery:

I also have arthritis and hate that I can't take Nsaids. But knowing that before would not have stopped me at 330 lbs. In terms of doing the sleeve after the RNY -- What I just read by a doctor said that he has done 5 reversals and that they were successful. I didn't read up on doing the sleeve after, but I did see that there are more things you can't have. Maybe with what you've been doing in your surgery will fix the problem and you won't have to reverse the RNY. Best of luck!
This is my 4th edit. lol About protein: The only shake I love, and it has 30 grams of protein, 160 calories and I think 1 gram of sugar -- premade -- is Premier Protein. Everyone in my family drinks them now. The chocolate, very cold, is delicious. Read the reviews on this site. Other than one person who got the bottled version, everyone seems to love it. Just give it a try. It couldn't hurt!

Highest BMI: 54.7; BMI Now: 22.6 -- Jeans before surgery: 32. Now: 6
PS: 2006/7 LBL, Bracheoplasty & Upper Thigh Lift. 8/2012: UBackLift & Breast Implants
(redone 3 times). 7/17/18: vertical thigh lift (needs to be redone - left too much skin) &
replacement of 1 breast implant due to rupture (still needs to be fixed due to placement). 
All of the paperwork I was given said each stage is a week, so I'm 6 days into the clear liquids and as of tomorrow I can start the puree stage. I'm tempted to try my sugar free pudding today to see how it goes down. I need something other than water and popsicles.. Lol..

Hi all!
I am waiting to have my surgery, hopefully in May :D
I'm just wondering if anyone has some tips and tricks they'd be able to share on drinking water? I keep a 32 ounce bottle beside me at work all day. Usually, I manage to drink 1.5 to 2 of the bottles of water and I feel like I am ALWAYS sipping on it. When I think that some of you drink 100-150 ounces a day....
I am willing to do whatever I have to to keep myself healthy pre and post op, but any tips or tricks would be VERY appreciated :)
