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.

      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.
