sugar free yogurtor high protein sugar full greek yogurt?



Recommended Posts

So it seems that in the only store in town..your choices for yogurt are:

-2 Percent vanilla yogurt that is no sugar added

-0 Percent vanilla yogurt that is no sugar added

-10 Percent vanilla greek yogurt made with sugar

-O Percent vanilla greek yogurt made with sugar

See the problem? All the greek yogurts either contain sugar or they contain seeds or pieces of fruit like strawberries or blueberries. All the other regular non greek yogurts come in several varieties but the carb count ranges from 6 to 14 gramsof carbs which some comes from the milk.

So which would you choose? 0 percent high protein(18 grams) full sugar greek yogurt?

Or

No sugar added low cal regular vanilla yogurt which contains only 4 gramsof Protein and 6 carbs?

My Nut said to have a 10:1 ratio for calories and protien. The Greek yogurts I choose have 140 calories (fat free) and 14 grams of Protein. If there is fruit in it, you can blend it or just choose the kind without for on the go.

I'd avoid seeds while healing (Passion Fruit) or added granola (nut), but the "fruit" is so soft that I consider most varieties pureed anyway...

I got a tiny little strainer from bed bath and beyond in the beginning and used it to strain Soups, yogurts, and other things.

how about getting a plain greek yogurt and stirring in some vanilla and artificial sweetener? I am hooked on chobani passion fruit, but I eat only the yogurt and never stir in the fruit on the bottom. strange I know, but it takes me longer to eat it that way, saves me from eating the seeds and sugar and still has a hint of sweet and passionfruit flavor. there is also a yogurt out there in a black container (power yogurt?) that has a super amount of Protein that might be worth a try

What do you like? I don't know about you, but we're not talking huge amounts here. BTW, it's really easy to make your own, if you have any interest.

        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
