eating ????

So I am trying to get alot of the sugar free stuff bought before I go to the hospital.  I was looking at protein drinks and I am just lost.  Which ones do you recommend???

Also I was looking at food lion and looking for some yougarts for this week that are good for me and all I saw was light.  It still had 7 gm of sugar.  Which kinds do you buy???

For yogurt I buy the Fage Greek Yogurt that they have in the health food section. It's really good and can be used like yogurt or in place of sour cream. (Lots of protein in it). As far as protein shakes - don't buy to many ahead of time. What I liked before surgery and what I liked afterwards was not the same thing. If you have a GNC near you I'd go there and get several different types, brands & flavors that are single servings. You can also go to the Bariatric Eating website and order a sampler package. There is a link to their site on hte main forum page.

Good Luck.

Make sure that you don't buy up too much because your tastes change after surgery.  You will be on a liquid diet for several weeks.  That diet doesn't include jello, pudding, or yogert.  If you can purchase some sample proteins so you can see after surgery what you will like.

Good Luck!
