 Emelar, 

Talk to me about the greek yogurt with cream cheese...is this like cheesecake??

Yes.  I read about this on the RNY board.  Greek yogurt (I use the Fage 2%, around 4-6oz) plus one of those little single serving containers of Philly cream cheese (100 calories) and you can add a squirt of fresh lemon juice.  Then add whatever other flavorings, sweeteners (I use 2 packets of stevia) or fruit you want.  It really tastes like cheesecake to me.  I get to eat good and feel like I'm cheating!

I don't always use the cream cheese, but if I can fit it in, I go for it.  

OMG I'm craving cheesecake so badly, I think this may just work!

Thanks!!

I wish The Laughing Cow would make a cheesecake flavor.  I did try the new cream cheese strawberry one and I think it would be really good mixed with greek yogurt.  But I will say... I think it had 4g of fat, which for me was too much to handle eating by itself.  I bought it thinking it was a "light" one.  Ended up having to give it away.

Day 1 of 2-week pre-op diet. Sigh.

B: HMR 70 vanilla shake with coffee and fat-free half & half (I know...but I've already transitioned off full-fat half & half and once this container of fat-free stuff is gone (1/3 remaining), that's it)

L: HMR 70 vanilla shake

S: chicken bouillion or tomato soup (diet from surgeon says V8 and tomato juice are allowed so I'm guessing low-fat/low-sugar tomato soup is allowed too.

S: HMR vanilla shake

D: HMR vanilla shake

S: sf jello and/or popsicle

vitamins: done
exercise: walking


Please tell me this gets a little easier?

B: scrambled egg whites, canadian bacon, 1/2 whole wheat tortilla
 S: turkey and cheese roll
L: grilled talapia, cottage cheese
S: greek yogurt and SF preserves
D: TBD

Water - 45oz in, many more to go
Today might be a rest day, but that's always subject to change
