Yogurt Question



Recommended Posts

Hey everybody! Has anyone found a yogurt that has less than 5g of sugar? I love Greek yogurt but it's just too much sugar (22g). I'm not dumping, but just want to follow the rules. I'm stuck in a rut with my losing and figured being super strict may do the trick.

Thanks in advance for the answers!

I use Fage yogurt which was recommended by my doctor, I am not sure what the sugar is in Fage but since he recommended it that is what I use.

I never could find any. I would use plain greek yogurt (which did have that low sugar content) and then add a bit of frozen fruit and a teaspoon of sugar free jam and that would do the trick. I used maybe 2 to 3 oz of yogurt.

I haven't been brave enough to try Greek yogurt since surgery and I love it but did try the diabetic friendly low carb dannon. Don't try it! It's not good at all!

I haven't found a Greek yogurt that I like. I tried several of the Chobani. They all taste spoiled and tart.

I love dannon light and fit Greek yogurt. The key is to watch out for refined sugar, corn Syrup, etc. natural sugars are fine and should not cause dumping. Dannon light and fit is the only brand of yogurt that is sweetened that my nut recommended.

I'll have to try that one. I am very afraid of dumping.

My Dr and nutritionist are both hard core and have lots of rules with sugar etc but they recommend the Greek yogurt.....I eat it everyday (split it into 2 snacks)....also add a scoop of Protein Powder to it and mix up the day before saying it....can't even tell its there and you end up getting like 34 -36 g of Protein from those 2 Snacks.< /p>

Humm, I'm on a 15gm rule. It's working well for me. A few protien bars, yogurts are slightly higher 22gm and I divide thoes into two Snacks or share with a family member, dogs eat yogurt who knew? I've been on liquids for 4 days because solids are not working right now. All because of chicken.... I never herd of the 5 gm rule.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
