Best greek yogurt? Any one's blood sugar ever dropped a little?



Recommended Posts

I was having greek yogurt with just a little bit of the fruit at the bottom. I didn't want all the extra carbs. I saw my NUT today and she said if I have one greek yogurt/day with the fruit that it's fine. Our calories are already so low that there's no way we aren't going to lose weight if we consume some carbs. She told me to aim for no more than 50-60g of carbs/day in the beginning.

Yogurt is tricky because some are super high in carbs/sugar. The Danon light and fit greek has 9 g of carbs and 7 g of sugar which is why I bought it in the first place LOL. I haven't tried the Fage but I'll definitely check it out! I love new food ideas!

Edit: I'm 4 months out and I can consume 90-120 g a day of carbs (max) but I usually stay in the 50-70 range.

I do the Chobani plain with a little bit of liquid stevia mixed in. The Fage is good too.

My fav is Fage 0 plain. I add Splenda and berries. My current fav is blueberries.

A tip on the Fage yogurt that comes with the side of fruit...just let the fruit lie on the top - don't stir it in...I think it tastes better that way (stirring changes the consistency or something)...and it suggests it on the side of the carton, as well, so I guess I am not the only one that thinks this :)

      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.
