mix 1/2 packet of crystal light with 6 oz of yogurt.. :)

source: http://www.shape.com...-lillien?page=7

you could also add a bit of Water to that & then pour the mix into a popsicle mold & make some cream pops. :)

sugar free, low-fat lemon frozen greek yogurt: http://www.theperfec...eek-yogurt.html

all sorts of yogurt pop recipes: http://allrecipes.co...eslikethis.aspx

cheesecake in a cup: 1 sugar free flavored Syrup of your choice (raspberry, blueberry, etc), 6 oz of greek yogurt, 1 tbsp sugar free cheesecake pudding mix... mix together & enjoy. :)

greek yogurt & avocado paleta: http://allrecipes.co...eslikethis.aspx

^^^ on that one, instead of sugar, add your favorite sugar substitute & instead of 2 avocados, use 6 oz of greek yogurt and one avocado.. personally, i would use swerve sweetener, because it's natural, doesn't have a funky aftertaste, is low calorie, can be measured 1 to 1 with sugar & does not raise blood sugar, so it's low glycemic.. you can buy it at whole foods or natural food/health stores or online at: http://www.swervesweetener.com/

Protein pudding: http://www.yummly.co...Free-Recipezaar

1 box of any flavor sugar free pudding mix, 2 scoops of Protein powder (probably vanilla flavored or something that would go with your pudding choice, or make the pudding vanilla so it goes with your Protein Powder choice..), 1 1/2 cups of Water or milk.. then chill.. you could probably make popsicles out of these, too. :) << i really like the concept of that one.. cause it sneaks in extra Protein & you're opened up on what you can have, because there's tons of pudding flavors and tons of flavors of protein powders.. so you could have something that tastes like french vanilla Cappuccino, cookie dough, etc.. or have pistachio or banana pudding flavor.. and if you added a bit of water to thin it out, you could make popsicles, so the batch lasts longer. :)

greek yogurt gelato: http://www.seriousea...ato-recipe.html

^^ sub sugar for your favorite sugar free alternative.. could also use lime instead of lemon.. or use some other kind of citrus.. like yuzu, orange, etc..

if you wanted something savory, you could probably puree this one.. http://www.seriousea...ger-recipe.html it's got peas, potatoes & uses greek yogurt.. it's a curry... but you could make it non-spicy by omitting the cayenne pepper. you could add a bit more yogurt to taste & thin it out to your preferred consistency with some water.

I put Syntrax Nectar into the plain. It gives me 20 grams of Protein in one yogurt. Then I can drink one Protein Shake, instead of 2 (yuck).

I never thought there could be this many different types of foods, drinks etc to satisfy the palate. No excuses for sure (for me at least). :D:P

I have found that cottage cheese with sugar free Syrup, mixed in a magic bullet, is pretty darned good. Don't knock it till you've tried it! I think 1/2 c. is 11 g of Protein and if you add a nectar instead, that's like what? 32 g of protein? I'm going to have to try it first before I commit to telling you to try it tho.... GOOD LUCK!

Ok did you try it? I did and YUCK :( I unhappily report. But blended cottage cheese with a sugar free Torani Syrup is good (caramel and it reminds me of pralines and cream). But green apple nectar in it, yuck :( Dang it... let me know if yours was better!

      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.
