If you buy yogurt without any gelatine or thickeners in it - ie. the pot set type of stuff that develops that whey on top when it sits in the fridge, you can actually drain in a sieve lined with a chux cloth or similar for 8 to 10 hours. All the whey drains out and leaves very very thick yogurt. You can make great dips out of that - a little curry powder and sweet chilli sauce, lime and cilantro, french onion Soup etc. Very yummy and healthy!

Oh you can try to sweeten it with MILO (I think that's the name) instead of crystal light

If you are not a Greek yogurt fan, I would suggest trying a fruit flavored one as opposed to plain, vanilla or honey. The fruit flavored ones IMHO are much more flavorful and sweeter. You can use the plain in recipes to boost your Protein. I agree that Oikos and Chobani are my favorites.

I love the flavored Greek yogurts, but my nutritionist so no because of the sugar. The plain is too tart for me, so I started mixing it with no sugar jelly and a packet of Truvia, it's like dessert!

Try vanilla powder in your plain NF Greek yogurt. It adds all the flavor none of the alcohol taste from vanilla extract. Add some splenda for sweetness and you have low sugar/carb/cal deliciousness

syrups change the texture a little bit so if you don't mind it's ok. But the best SF Syrup I have found are Davinci. They make tons of SF that don't taste so "diety" and they are really spot on.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
