Always hated it before, strongly disliked it after. I have a moody little pouch and he likes it so iate it. Now I enjoy it. Dannon light & fit vanilla, or the elusive caramel apple pie are my favorites. I sprinkle in pampered chef cinnamon plus and it's awesome! When my protein count is low I will eat a Fage 0% with a scoop of peanut butter quest protein powder(I think it is 41 proteins for 190 calories).
You will be surprised with the taste of things after surgery. (Assuming you have not had surgery yet). Honestly I hated greek yogurt before my RNY and when i was able to incl in my diet, i thought "no way". But a few weeks ago, i took a small amount and sprinkled bran buds on top and a few berries. It went down quite well. Now I have about 1/4 cup three times a week. It can be breakfast, or a snack. I cant explain it, just feels right in my pouch. I try things from time to time -- sometimes I cant tolerate and other times I can.

Hope it gives you a few ideas
What did you do with all the "no-no" food in your fridge/pantry prior to having WLS?
I have boxes of Mac n Cheese and boxes of pasta, soups, cheese sauce, french fries and breaded fish and pork fritters, cereals, popcorn and more high sugar/fatty/unhealthy foods. I can't just throw it all away!
I am so fortunate (not!) that once I started eating high protein/low carb/low fat diet, I actually gained 14 pounds and surpassed my highest weight ever. The Bariatric nurse said I probably wasn't eating enough so my body started hoarding.

I personally love Greek Yogurt, but it has to have some kind of flavor. It's healthier for you than regular Yogurt and contains healthy probiotics. Zoi's Honey and Strawberry Cream are my go to's when I need a sweet treat. You do have to measure it out because it's easy to eat a lot of it very quickly. The plain and vanilla are too bland for me but they are great if you mix in a bit of granola.
leg cramps can be caused by many things beside potassium.. -low calcium,magnesium, vit D, not enough salts...

Greek yogurt is quite a bit more protein because it is concentrated. I hate most of it but found one that has a light consistency and I love it. It is Danon Greek Light and Fit 80 cal. 12 grams of protein. I love it in vanilla and cherry. It took me a couple of months after surgery to like any yogurt or sweet flavors. This one is very different.
my bariatric bypass was 5 months ago. Does anyone know of a good potassium supplement and where to get it?
Mine are pretty boring, but I drink a premier protein every morning. About 3 oz. goes into my cup of coffee, then the rest after coffee or a little bit later as a snack. As for lunch, it's almost exclusively leftovers. I also like to have a quest bar handy to keep the fast convenient food mosnter at bay.
