Plain Greek Yogurt ~ what can I do with it??



Recommended Posts

I am one week post op and bought some today. I actually made a savoury dish from it - I put it in a blender with some smoked salmon, a bit of cream cheese, a bit of milk to make it runnier and some cayenne pepper and salt. It was yummy and one of the only things so far that has made me feel a bit full.

That sounds good. I am making that tomorrow.

I did this recipe - I didn't use the fruit, just made the jello/yogurt mix. Very good! I used sf cherry Jello and sf vanilla Torani Syrup.

I use it in place of half the skim milk when making sugar free pudding and I'll even add a scope of Protein Powder I also will throw in a couple of tablespoons when I make my shakes.< /p>

Thanks these are some great ideas.

This evening I put a packet of Splenda and sprinkled some cinnamon in. That was good.

I assume at some point I will be able to have fresh vegetables. Mixing it with Hidden Valley Ranch would make a very healthy dip to serve with veggies.

This "healthy eating" is a whole new thing to me but I am catching on. LOL

Does anyone cook with it as in a hot dish?

chicken Tika -

Yogurt mixed with curry seasoning coat small bite size pieces of skewered chicken then grill on your outdoor grill..... Mmmmm!

You can even grate the cucumber With a cheese grater. Faster and softer

My favorite is to mix two cups Greek yogurt with a pack of sugar free cream cheese pudding mix. It makes several servings (at least four depending on how much you eat I guess) and then I microwave some frozen strawberries for a minute and add them to it for a strawberry cheesecake-ish taste.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
