Omg! I Don't Like Greek Yogurt...



Recommended Posts

Try mixing in sf cheesecake pudding into plain greek yogurt. It's delicious. You can experiment on how much pudding mix you need to add in.

Do you add pudding powdered mix, or prepared pudding?

for some reason i wasn't much of a Greek yogurt person either, it tasted like it was expired yogurt or sour cream, That was until i tried the Fit and light vanilla flavored one (i believe its danon) it comes in a purple container and came highly recommended from my nutritionist. I see that some others have recommended it as well so hopefully that means i dont have some crazy taste buds...

But yeah, try the danon one, mixed with some Protein powder and enjoy...

i use the Danon Fit and Light in the purple too, but it is not Greek yogurt.

ooo i love greek yogurt, my surgeons nurse suggested mixing the plain vanilla with crystal light. i eat 8oz at a time (on the pre op diet) im allowed it once a day so that has helped as well

Just a quick note on calories, and how i think of them...

Some peeps seem to be very worried about calories, and sure most flavored yougerts have more calories, but i tend to think of calories like a money/bank thing...

just because i only make so much money every paycheck, dosen't mean i cant buy a new tv or fridge or something... you dont have to eat all your cal's in one day... skim a few every day then then you can splurge a little more on something you may have been craving. sure you may eat a few more cals that one day, but you've been cutting down everyday to be able to do such.

not sure if it'll help anyone, but i sometimes think that we give calories an expiration date, if we don't eat ALL our allotted calories that day then poof they are gone, and its not really always like that.

Oh that's not the same . I eat the light and fit in purple but it is not greek. Maybe will try this one. I don't really care about the Protein in it since I go way over anyway. Thanks for telling me about this one!

There's a lot of things you can add to plain Greek yogurt, to keep the calories and carbs down . The calories and carbs are high in the flavored ones, but you can add stuff to the plain to make it taste good. I like to mix in Raspberry sugar free jam. Another favorite is a packet of splenda and coconut Toraini sf Syrup.< /p>

I buy frozen blueberries and add them with splenda. It does add carbs, but then again, I like to have some Fiber in my diet, and blue berries are really good for you too.

I've heard of adding powdered sf Jello and some cool whip, or crystal light packets and a little cool whip. The sf cheesecake pudding mix is good too. Sometimes I will add some Torani syrup to that too.

Greek yogurt is a healthy snack, so I don't feel bad if I add a few healthy carbs. At least I am getting Protein too, instead of some junk food I sometimes end up having.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
