What is so special about Greek yogurt? I have tried so many brands and flavors and cannot stand it! I love other yogurts though.

Greek yogurt has lots more Protein than other kinds. Have you tried Fage? it's really good and I am not a yogurt lover. I used to put a Splenda packet in mine because it wasn't sweet enough (thank you Yoplait!) but now I eat it without.

Yeah, Greek yogurt is popping up all over now, it's become quite the trend.

I sweeten it too, when I eat it straight, because it's pretty tart. I eat Fage 0% (fat free) and actually have used it instead of sour cream on tacos, etc pre surgery (I'm lactose intolerant but I can handle yogurt). It's great with fruit, granola, flavored syrups, etc. We always have some in the fridge.

It has a really nice, thick texture which feels substantial. It's not watery like the typical stuff you buy from Yoplait. If you're buying Greek yogurt with fruit or something added, you have to be careful and watch the added sugar because it can be quite high.

Incidentally, Fage is pronouced "fah-yay". Don't call it "***", like my partner's mom's boyfriend did (basically my defacto father in law), in front of my partner and I. He immediately turned red when he realized what he did.

Maybe it is the consistency i don't care for. I will try the Fage! Thanks.

My nutritionist told me to mix dry ranch dressing with nonfat plain greek yogert and use it as a veggie dip. I am hooked. I actually craved it. Weird, because I am one that does not like any kind of yogert at all.

Different strokes. I love Greek yogurt. It is less slimey and more like real food!

I actually tried the Greek yogurt for the first time tonight and was pleasantly surprised. I took my dietitian's advice and added a shot or two of the MIO drink mix to mine. It was very doable. I want to try the ranch mix, though, now! Gotta hold off until I can have raw veggies again.

      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.
