Alpro soy chocolate desserts??

[flossypants]

I am 16days post op & wondered has anyone tried & succeeded with Alpro soy desserts (chocolate ones) Also I am looking ahead for my purée stage next week and wanted some ideas as struggling to think beyond mass & purée fish/chicken? Can I eat scrambled eggs or just egg whites?

Made me dump and I'm 2.5 years out so probably would advise you not to risk it.

I dont like recommending soya to anyone unless they have to.. It can have some serious hormonal affects.

Like all foods post bypass, you need to check the sugar % which should be 5% or less ideally (everyone has a different dumping threshhold which you will learn over time - it is likely that in time you will be able to tolerate a higher %). This is in the column per 100g (not the other). Scrambled egg was a staple of mine from about week 4, along with 'loose' mashed potato. Now you can have Heinz tomato soup - the one with chilli I remember was good. And well soaked Weetabix ...

Just editing to add - Alpro Smooth Chocolate Dessert is 10.5% sugar and 1.9% fat. The dark choc is higher. For comparison - Activia 0% Fat Free yoghurt (Strawberry) is 8.8% sugar (the normal version of Strawberry is 13.3% sugar and 3.3% fat). And out of interest, the WW choc dessert is 18.4% sugar. Shocking!

Wow that's terrible ref WW yogurts and many also that I've been reading in supermarkets that say 0% fat or 'low fat' that have such high sugars-obviously to add some kind of flavour but a good tip I'm considering is having plain/natural or Greek yogurts then blending a few strawberries, raspberries or what ever fruit you like up and layering that on the top instead to make it healthier.
