Greek Yogurt



Recommended Posts

I've been using Dannon Oiko's for my shakes. Does anyone know of a brand that's not so overpoweringly sour?

I just started liking Greek yogurt for the non fat and high Protein I kept trying to find one I can tolerate... I found the oikos ones and can actually eat it. I never put them in a shake.... Will have to try :)

the yogurt i have been eating pre op (and due to an abscessed tooth which was pulled today) is called carb master. it is only available at Krogers or maybe Ralphs if you have one of those. Low fat, low carb, low sugar

I have been adding about a teaspoon and a half of sugar free pudding mix and a scoop of unflavored Protein Powder and eating this two or three times a day. Good source of Protein and feels like you are eating some

pretty fancy desert. not horribly sweet though. I will probably hate it after surgery, but right now it is my best

friend. Especially with this tooth problem.

You could probably do the same with the greek yogurt to tame some of the tartness,

Hmmm...perhaps a little harsh? I have only had the fage with fruit...sugar comes from the fruit so its not quite as big a hitter on the sugars. I would imagine if you are blending it yourself, the taste could become imbalanced. But...seriously, many at work like it, and there are two other girls with gastric bypass...so mine is not the only opinion. But, it does have less sugar than the competitors, so maybe you prefer it sweeter than I.

I love smoothies and like them sweet. My fave sweetener to add to them is stevia and a little light oj. My mix ins are Greek yogurt, spinach, Protein powder, berries, and sometime bananas or almond butter.

I tried the Chobani ones and found them to be very tart. I threw them out.

      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.
