Ok, so today I chose to try 2 new things and so far BOTH of them were HORRIBLE!!!

How do I make Greek yogurt taste better? I bought the Kraft brand of plain and added 1 tsp of sugar free vanilla Syrup to it; still tastes bad to me....added granola, still yuck. Added 1 packet sugar, nada....

Any suggestions??? I hate to feel like I am throwing away food but if this is how greek yogurt is supposed to taste, I'd rather eat regular (I really don't care for it either but like it better than greek!)......I only bought 2 small containers of it.

thanks!

unflavored, no sugar added, greek yougurt can be really blah....you need the right brand. The answer: Chobani brand yogurt with fruit on the bottom. it's delicious. It comes in 0% 1% and 2% in a variety of flavors, pineapple, black cherry, strawberry to name a few. if u don't like the taste of plain yogurt mix the fruit on the bottom so it "coats" all of the yogurt, give it a good swirl. You are eating something healthy while getting a minimal damage sugar fix. It's great for you; it was recommended to me by two different nutritionists. Another great brand of greek yogurt is Fage, it comes with honey, fruit on the side (usually can be found in the organic section of grocery store). Hope this helps!:rolleyes:

I add one whole packet of Equal to any of the Chobani yogurts I have and I have found it to be the perfect level of sweetness. Even though the ones I bought have the fruit on the bottom, I need that extra sweetness :)

I love greek yogurt with honey. I love to use plain greek yogurt in place of mayo or sour cream. When I make chicken salad or in place of sour cream in a veggie dip. I love it because calorie count goes down and Protein goes way up!

I could not stand the 0% greek type- but found the Fage strawberry 2% to be pretty good- and honestly its all in the method in my opinion- take a spoon w/ yogurt- then add a little strawberry to the tip. Good Luck!

I have actually added some MIO to the yogurt and it tasted pretty yummy! I was surprised myself. I added the peach/mango flavor. O calories 0 carbs. Yum!

the greek yogurts with added fruit have way too many carbs for my liking, so i get the plain, fat free and add chocolate or Peanut Butter Protein Powder to it. it changes the taste dramatically and makes it much easier to stomach. you may want to try that. one of my employees told me she adds vanilla extract to hers, and it really helps. i haven't tried that yet, though.

I like the Mio idea. I tried Crystal light in it too, not too shabby.

I buy the Dannon Vanilla Greek Yogurt and add a package of equal and stir. Sometimes I also add sugerfree jelly (like a fruit on the bottom idea) I can only do the Dannon Vanilla Greek brand.

I'm with you! I can't stand the taste of plain Greek yogurt. ACK! I started adding a Crystal Light "stick" flavor packet (strawberry, peach, orange) and a little Truvia sweetener. Much better!

I have a horrible sweet tooth so I have to add a package of Equal or Splenda to it....I like the HOney or the fruit on the bottom type. I had a hard time with it too and I'm really struggling trying to do the "right things" good luck

Chobani also has kid flavors that are pretty good, you have to really stir it. banana and honey and berries. I also add some to my portein shake that way I get the extra Protein.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
