Greek yogurt ! Help



Recommended Posts

Ok so I've always loved Greek yogurt , but always get fruit flavors , it never even crossed my mind , until after surgery , that's I couldn't have those because of the sugar. I can't even stand the plain, it's so sour, like instant gag! Anyone have any ideas! I can only stomach the vanilla, but as this is not as good for me as the plain!!! Help!!!

Have you tried the Fage 0% greek yogurt? I felt the same as you, but love this particular variety and brand.. You could put a pack of sweetener in the yogurt if you needed that.

I also like to mix this yogurt with fresh fruit. The fruit gives it a great, sweet taste.

I eat Chobani or Fage plain Greek yogurt and flavor it with Torani SF syrups or Protein powders. Your flavor choices and level of sweetness are nearly endless with no added sugar.

I also like mixing it with fresh fruits....peaches, strawberries, blueberries, mangos, etc. more suger, but not as bad as the pre sweetened/flavored ones.

Have you tried Dannon light and fit? Their carb count is not high and they come in a lot of great flavors. Also, Yoplait now has some that are low carb count, I believe around 8 carbs.

I too think the Fage is smoother and not as sour. I've mixed in sweetener packets, Torani SF Syrup, unsweetened preserves (I get Smuckers-blueberry or strawberry). I've mixed in Protein powder too which can be yummy. Since I'm a little further out, I have also mixed in some fresh fruit. Lately I've been on a Dannon light & fit greek vanilla kick

Hi -- Choboni 100 has the fruit flavors, but lowest sugar of all the flavored and still has the Greek style extra Protein. Whenever they're on sale for 10 for $10, I stock up. Now, at only 2 ounces per meal, one cup will last a long time!

I sprinkle a little sugar-free Jello over it. You can also add things like Splenda and there are stevia flavors you can buy. I've mainly seen them online (Amazon) but I haven't tried them yet.

      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.

      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.
