I can tell you that the brands with higher fat content taste better and don't have the sugar. I use Fage 2%, and I mix it with Splenda and cinnamon.

Other than that, why does anyone like anything or hate anything? I personally think root beer is the most revolting beverage on earth and I rather eat ear wax than drink that soapy dishwater tasting swill. Not everything is for everyone :-)

:lol: :lol: I love the comparison to wallpaper paste! that is so funny! I love the Dannon Greek yogurts, my favorite is the vanilla! I also mix my vanilla Protein powder into it . . . this is my favorite thing to eat. . . but that is just me. . . you may not like it. . . good luck

That is hilarious!!!! I agree that Greek yogurt (specifically Chobani because that's all I've had) is pretty disgusting... I couldn't stomach it either... I LOVE Lucky Layla farms drinkable yogurt... They are a local dairy (we can even see the cows!).. So I buy milk, yogurt, cheese, butter from them... I totally suggest their yogurts.. So good!!! Plus it supports a local farm (local to Plano, TX at least lol) that actually treats its cows well!! No horrible living conditions or growth hormone..

I eat the Fage 2% and put a packet of Spenda in it--makes it tolerable. I thought Chobani was awful, too.

I couldn't stand greek yogurt either. If you have a Kroger or Fred Meyer near you, you might want to try Kroger Carbmaster yogurt - 80 calories, 4g carb, 12g Protein. I liked it much better.

I love both Dannon and Yoplait vanilla greek yogurt. Both are fat free. Yoplait has a higher carb and Protein count than Dannon. It appears that the more the flavor, the higher the carb. count. I prefer the Dannon Vanilla over the Yoplait though.

Another brand I eat occasionally is Atheno's. Their Peach Greek Yogurt is really good too. Not as much Protein as the others. http://www.athenos.com/products.aspx

Trader Joe's carries more traditional Greek Yogurt which has a little texture to it.

Plain Greek yogurt is just nasty but like someone else above mentioned, you can mix in flavored Protein Powder (it will change the consistency of the yogurt but at least it adds flavor).

The first I ever tried was teh Oikos plain and it was so terrible, it kept me from eating it for months!! Then I tried the Chobani with fruit and I totally loved it. Going to get me some more as soon as I find time to hit the grocery store.

I will also try adding Protein powder in too, as someone suggested, that's a really great idea.

I can't stand Greek yogurt! I have tried many brands and they were all awful! My doctor suggested Low-Fat Activia as he is a big finatic on pro-biotics. I do like these ones and have one every night for my evening snack. There are other alternative to Greek yogurt. Find what works best for you and go with that. Everyone has different tastes and they were definetly not for me either!

Plain greek yogurt is pretty disgusting. You could try what I do, since I buy the big container of plain Chobani. I put in a splash of vanilla extract, a splenda and a dash of cinnamon. I also throw a few slivered almonds on top for some texture sometimes. And if you freeze it it tastes like custard to me. Enjoy!

I get 0% Fage and add SF Torani coffee syrups to them. They have tons of different flavors. The only problem with some of the above mentioned yogurts is the sugar content. It may be low in fat or fat free, but we all know that sugar turns to fat. I also add the SF Torani coffee Syrups to my Protein shakes, cottage cheese, etc. Yummy!!

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
